Maid's Survival Manual

Chapter 109 Later
Manman has been flustered in recent days.I often wake up inexplicably in the middle of the night, sweating profusely, and my heart beats like dozens of little rabbits.

She and Aunt Zhang's feelings coincided with each other. She always felt that danger was approaching, but she didn't know what danger it was. She always felt that something was about to happen, but she didn't know when it would happen, and to whom it would happen.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have come out on a snowy day with Aunt Zhang's blank eyes.She was faintly worried that bad things would happen to Niu'er, unless she could see him return safely at the first time, otherwise she would be tortured to death by her own thoughts if she stayed at home.

She has not walked this road a few times, but she also knows that the mountain ends at the north end, and the city leads to the south.

Manman walked over slowly, looking at the scenery on both sides while walking.There is a layer of white snow on the trees and the roof, as if some elf cast a spell, decorating the whole world with white snow into a simple, clear and beautiful mythical space.

However, Manman felt more and more short of breath in her heart, and felt a little out of breath.

She looked to the north, but it didn't take long before she saw Niu'er. Manman was relieved and greeted him slowly.Niu'er was only wearing a T-shirt, his arms were rolled up high to reveal his strong arms, and he was carrying a bundle of firewood behind him. He looked at her with a smile on his face and said, "Are you out?"

Manman handed over the towel and said, "I'll pick you up and wipe off your sweat."

Niu'er took the towel, wiped it on his forehead casually, and said: "This day, it suddenly became hot. Are you bored at home?"

Manman smiled and said, "Fortunately, even though it's hot, you can't wear so little, what if you get cold?"

Niu'er said indifferently: "I'm strong, I'm fine. But you, you can just walk in the yard, it's not safe to run so far."

The two walked towards the village while talking, just like all the ordinary couples in the village, plain, trivial but full of warmth.

Manman walked and said, "What do you want to eat?"

Niu'er smiled and said, "I should ask you this. Your belly is getting bigger and bigger. Did he kick you today?"

Manman nodded.Niu Er did not reject this child, as if he really regarded him as his child, and often asked Manman about his condition.With Mrs. Zhang's rich experience and the determination in her old-fashioned eyes, the Zhang family unanimously regarded the child as a boy.

Manman sometimes feels embarrassed, she seldom brings it up, so when Niuer asks, she is a little embarrassed.

Niu'er smiled and said: "Boys are energetic, Tao, you should eat more good ones. I set up a trap on the mountain today. Maybe I can catch two rabbits tomorrow. Then let mother stew rabbit meat for you." eat."

Farmers' families can eat a few mouthfuls of meat throughout the year, that is, during the Chinese New Year, and they are usually vegetarian except for vegetarians.Manman was not keen on meat at first, but after chewing the wild vegetables here for more than half a year, at this moment, just hearing the word "meat", she actually felt a little eager.

But she wanted to tease the cow, so she looked at him and said, "How do you know that you will be able to catch the rabbit? If not, wouldn't it be a waste of joy?"

Niu Er scratched his head, and replied plainly: "Not today, not tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow? It's winter, there is no food in the mountains, rabbits will definitely come out to look for food, I don't believe that one can't be caught .”

Manman stared at his serious smiling face, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "That's the reason, it's no good to worry like me, I'm not as good as you."

Niu'er was a little flattered, and immediately said: "I'm a man."

Women are not as good as men, that's the way it is, if she is worse than him in every way, how can he let him deal with himself?
Niu'er thinks it's pretty good as it is now.He can get along with Manman intimately, talk and laugh, even if what he is talking about is some trivial things that can no longer be trivial, maybe seeing her smiling face more and more, all the hard work he has put in is worth it.

Suddenly, he had an idea, slapped the bundle of firewood to the ground, brushed his shoulders, and said to Manman: "The lake is not far ahead, and the lake is not frozen deep now. Let's go and see, maybe it's still there." Can catch two fish."

Manman hesitated.

Niu'er knew that she was worried about Mrs. Zhang, so she said, "But it's only a little later, and my mother won't know. Even if you don't catch any fish, you can relax. If you are tired, I, I will carry you."

Manman thought, Niu'er doesn't know how to talk sweetly, what he says and does is the most pure heart, but the more he is like this, the more touching he is.He was always thinking of her, so why was she so pretentious?
Don't be too depressed.Anyway, it's already out, so it's okay to walk around here.

Immediately, Manman smiled at Niu'er, and responded heartily: "Okay."

The lake was frozen, but not as thick as it was in midwinter.A Niu just hugged a few stones, and soon smashed a big hole in the ice.

While watching, Manman asked Niu'er: "There is no bait, what can I use to catch fish?"

But Niu Er had already rolled up his trouser legs, and said, "I'll go into the water to catch it."

"What?" Manman was taken aback, and said, "No way. Although it's early winter, and today is very warm, it's not midsummer either. How can you stand the water recklessly? I don't want any fish, you Don't go down."

But Niu'er didn't listen to her at all. If an honest person twisted it, even nine cows would not be able to pull it back.He had taken off his shoes and was testing the depth of the water.Manman watched him put his legs into the water without changing his face, and said relaxedly: "The water is not cold at all, really..."

Manman was furious, she walked over and grabbed Niu'er by the collar, and shouted: "Don't go into the water, I don't care if the water is cold or not, but I won't let it if I say no, come up quickly."

Niu'er was not angry at all, and stretched out his hand to pinch Manman's wrist, and said soothingly: "Manman, don't make trouble, it's really not cold, I'll be up in a while."

Manman's eyes were red, and he said: "If you don't listen, I will be angry. I won't eat the fish you caught..."

Niu'er had never seen Manman lose his temper with him.The two had been a couple in name for more than four months, and it was just a feeling of respecting each other, so Manman lost his temper with him for the first time, and his determination to do something for Manman became more and more firm.

But he didn't want to give in so quickly, because today seemed to be the first time Manman approached him proactively.Her little hand was soft and slippery, unconsciously pressed against his neck, and he felt the blood rushing there quite fast.He misses the silky wrist in his hand very much, and really wants to touch it gently a few times.But he didn't dare, he was afraid that Manman would wake up and run away.

She was always on guard against him.Niu'er didn't understand very well, but he had guessed countless times that he must be far inferior to the man in front of Manman, so it was difficult for her to accept him.

Niu'er held Manman's wrist, and said in a loud voice: "Don't be angry, it's not good for you and the child, don't move around, it's not a joke if you fall into the water. Manman, you Let go of me first..."

His strength is much stronger than Manman's, even if Manman lets go of him, she can't escape anywhere.

Manman, however, was only in a hurry: "I'm not letting go, come up quickly. Did you hear what I said? Stop catching fish, come up quickly." Manman's voice was already crying.She was really scared, and the ominous flustered feeling became more and more intense, and she even thought pessimistically, would Niuer never get up again because he caught a fish and fell into the water?Could it be that he will fall ill once he catches the wind and cold?In short, she would never let him do anything that was risky.

Seeing that Manman was really angry, Niu'er didn't dare to fight with her anymore, so he quickly pulled his legs out of the water and said, "Don't cry, I just don't want to catch you, you—" He stood up and saw Manman Tears welled up in the corners of Man's eyes.

Thinking that Manman cared about him, Niu'er felt ashamed, and hurriedly expressed his position: "I listen to you, if you say you won't catch her, you won't catch her." At worst, send her home, and he will come out quietly by himself.

Manman let go of her hand, stepped aside, calmed down and said, "It's just a few fish, what does it matter if you eat or not? I'm not spoiled to this point, anyway, you are not allowed to take risks behind my back, otherwise I will never I'll take care of you."

He thought she didn't see the calculation in his eyes?If he dares to be disobedient, she will really ignore him again.

Niu'er laughed, put on his shoes, put down his trousers, and said, "Okay, I won't come, I won't come behind your back. It's all my fault, the family is too poor, and you can't eat whatever you want ..."

Manman said softly: "I've said it before, I don't think you're poor."

Niu'er was a little angry and unwilling: "But I despise myself for letting you follow me to suffer and suffer poverty."

Manman stopped him, and said: "You don't understand, nothing is more important than people, I would rather be so poor. Brother A Niu, you are a good person, so I am very content."

Niu'er didn't speak for a moment, he looked at Manman blankly, and murmured: "Really? But, but...why are you always so far away from me?" But even if he was a good person, Manman would not accept it. he.He took a step forward, and there was almost no distance away from Manman. As soon as he lowered his head, he could kiss Manman's forehead: "Manman, I, I want to..."

Manman subconsciously took two steps back, raised her head and looked at him cautiously, there was a repulsive atmosphere in her dark eyes.She blushed uncontrollably, and said in a low voice, "Brother A Niu, stop talking."

Because there was no one around, just the two of them, and because just now Niu'er noticed that Manman was not as indifferent as she had shown, and was not completely indifferent to him, so he ignited hope and courage.He said loudly: "Manman, I don't want to be the good person you said, I want to be a real couple with you."

A real couple... Ah, but she is pregnant now, so would he still have such thoughts?This is impossible, impossible, and wrong.

Manman lowered her head, Niu'er couldn't see her expression, but the blush behind her earlobe disappeared, and after a long time, Niu'er heard Manman's low voice: "Yes, in the future, yes, yes."
