Chapter 203
"Thanks to you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even be able to wear that monkey's clothes."

Mrs. Li really felt that after having Le Kui in the family, she had a capable person who could handle both at home and outside, much better than her country wife.

The evening meal was simple, Mrs. Li kneaded white flour and made wontons for everyone. The Yu family was originally an ordinary family, and the daily food may be delicate and luxurious for Yu Liang Village.

But for Jinling, it is still very simple. Once the dishes brought back for lunch are heated up, it will be a delicious dinner.

Manman was very satisfied after eating, "Mother, I won't go out until the Chinese New Year. I will make the things I need first."

"You have finished shopping for the things you need for the New Year, take Xiaohe out for a walk and don't worry about me."

Mrs. Li scooped up the last wonton and stuffed it into her mouth, "I don't think I have time to go out to play before the Chinese New Year. I don't have enough quilts. Le Kui and I will make two extra quilts in these two days."

"There are also cotton-padded jackets and new clothes. I have to make a few more for you. I think Jinling's cloth has many patterns and bright colors. I heard from Gaga that the most important thing here is superficial skills. You can't go to the academy if you do more. Too shabby."

Yu Changsi agreed with his wife's words, no one in this family can lose to Manman, "But didn't Mr. Mo ask you to meet?"

"I left a letter to Motang on Zhuque Avenue today, saying that we will talk about it after a year, and Motang will send some materials over tomorrow. If I am busy then, you can ask him to pile up your house or my door. .”

A few people have gotten used to Manman closing the door and meditating as soon as she makes an item, but who knows that instead of waiting for the person who came to Motang the next day, the person who gave the gift came instead.

Lichun cloth village also received the news yesterday that the owner's niece and the chief engineer of the cloth village had arrived in Jinling. The shopkeeper of the Zhuque Street branch got the news and brought her servants to give gifts.

Mrs. Li was planning to buy some silk and cotton today, but she didn't expect the other party to be so considerate, knowing that she should need cloth, half of the presents were these.

I also wrapped a few bolts of Jinling's fashionable fabrics this year. Although Mrs. Li is shy, she has always been affectionate to Li Chun.

Although the other party was a little disappointed in not seeing Man Man, he didn't show it. After all, he heard that Miss Yu was more powerful than Master Mo Tang.

Moreover, they are relatives who are valued by the host family. It is already a great honor for the hostess to treat guests in person, so she bid farewell respectfully and left.

"A Ling must have written to them." Looking up at the happy Yu Changsi, she pointed to the gift, "It's so kind, and it's being delivered to my heart."

Yu Changsi looked flatteringly at Mrs. Li, "Then the cloth that Gaga gave me last time, can you make me a suit? I saw some men on the street wearing very nice robes, so you can make me a suit too, ma'am." .”

Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Li, who had finally turned pale. Since he often worked, his clothes were all shorts that were easy to move around, so he really didn’t have a decent robe. clothes."

Le Kui walked in and saw that there was still a bag of duck down inside, and remembered the fox fur and rabbit fur that the princess had given her before, "I can make a fur coat for the girl. The girl has a white and quiet face, and she must look good in it."

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Shi gave Le Kui a thumbs up, "We have all the materials now, and it is indeed better to make fur clothes. Not only are they suitable for going out, they are not out of date."

The two of you and I planned Manman from head to toe. When Manman came out with the finished water pipe and water pump, the embroidery pattern of the clothes was almost finished, and it was ready to be cut when it was over. Clothes are sewn.

Yu Changsi watched his daughter go out, and quickly took the things she was carrying, "How does this look like a water pump?"

"It's just a small pressure water pump. I'll connect the water pipe to the other end. When the kitchen needs water, you just press it and fill the water tank. When the electricity is available next year, it will be able to automatically pump water like the one at home."

"Why do you work so hard to do this? Your father still has the strength to carry water." Looking at her girl, she grinned happily, "But that's fine, if I'm not in Le Kui, I can do it."

"Well, when the time comes, I will buy another tank. The food and use will be separated, and one will be filled with clean water and the other with well water."

Manman made a foot-operated water pump. Although it was not very useful for my own family, it was of great help to those who did not have a well in the yard. After all, it was more difficult to carry water the farther you went.

Yu Changsi watched the white water pipe being pushed apart by the squeezed water. The bent water pipe rolled like a loach, and straightened up and started spitting water, "That's pretty fast."

In fact, Manman is very dissatisfied. Although the water pump is drawing power to the greatest extent, but the water pipe is so big, it will take some time to fill a tank of water.

It seems that I have to make a thing that can match the automatic pressing of the pedals.

As soon as I had an idea in my mind, I couldn't help it. I handed the things to my father and continued to run to the room, "I remembered another one. Dad, you can play by yourself."

Hearing the voice, Mrs. Li looked at the girl who closed the door again, "Why do you get more and more excited when you do this, and your face doesn't look tired."

Le Kui looked at his wife with a smile, "Young girl eats and sleeps better than others, she is full of energy, and of course her complexion is not bad."

"That's right," Mrs. Li nodded with a smile, "My girl does things too, but she's much better than those scholars who hang their heads on the beams and stab their butts. They don't let us worry about it at all."

The speed of Manman is extremely fast. The main reason is that the tools and materials are not as limited as in Yuliang Village, and there is a laboratory to help refine and synthesize, so it should not be too fast.

The materials sent by Motang were also used by Manman, and the sound box also developed several shapes, flying around with the lady in front of it, nodding its head proudly.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Putting down the music box, Manman stretched her waist and walked to the window, "Who is it again?"

"Uncle Meng."

"Hey, Mr. Cao, please come in." Meng Hu looked at the familiar person outside the door, and quickly stretched out his arms to welcome him in, "Mr. Lang, Mrs. Yu, Mr. Cao is here."

Manman saw it from the window, opened the door and went out, "Uncle Chen, are you done with your work? Dad brought you food last time. I heard that you run out every day, so why are you so busy reporting work?"

"Hey, what a coincidence, it looks like you're done too." On the way, Yu Changsi went to see Cao Chen at the station, and said that Manman didn't have time recently, so he thought he wouldn't see him today, but he didn't expect to hear a voice. He came out by himself.

"It's just a coincidence that the anxious work is almost done," Manman stretched her arms while touching her neck, not caring about the twisted image.

"I'll rest for two days, and go out to change the utensils for some silver and make up some materials." Walking to the tea cabinet at the side, he took out the tea set and tea leaves and poured them for the two, "How is it?"

Cao Chen knew what Man Man was asking, "Don't let me run around lately, and got it done before the officials sealed it."
