As soon as Lu Jueyu entered the house, she saw Father Li coming out of the bedroom while helping Li Chenmo. Seeing her coming, Li Chenmo's eyes lit up.
"Jueyu, come in quickly." Li Chenmo waved to her. If it weren't for his leg injury , he might have walked toward her.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Lu Jueyu also felt that she was in a better mood. She put the bamboo basket on the table and said, "Uncle Li, Brother Chenmo, I made some braised pork for dinner. You two should eat more."
When she put the food on the table, Father Li was stunned. He knew that his son had given all the money to Lu Jueyu and let her use it as she wished. But he never expected that she would actually use the money to buy rice and meat. Looking at the portion size, it was enough for four adults. What a waste to eat white rice and so much meat all at once. It's better to save it for the new year.
Father Li suddenly remembered the rumors about Lu Jueyu and glanced at her. Although he was very upset about her spending money like this, as a man, he restrained himself and said nothing. He considers it a blessing that his wife is no longer around. With his wife's temper, if she sees his future daughter-in-law being so wasteful, there might be a big scene.
Father Li looked at his son and saw that he was smiling all the time, so he chose to close his eyes. As long as they are happy, he, as a father, will not interfere with their lives. After all, his sons are all grown up and they can make their own decisions.
When Li's father was full of dilemma, Li Chenmo was very happy when he saw the dishes. He wasn't afraid of her wasting his money, but he was afraid that she wouldn't want to use his money. Now that she was willing to spend his money, he doesn't have to worry too much about her changing her mind. If it was possible, he wanted to spoil her until she could no longer live without him.
Not knowing what they were thinking, Lu Jueyu served them a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup. She handed them the chopsticks and said, "Uncle Li, Brother Chenmo, please try it quickly, see if it suits your taste."
Although his mouth was already watering when he smelled the aroma of braised pork, Li Chenmo drank the egg soup first and then tasted the meat. The moment he tried the meat, his eyes widened in surprise.
Although he knew that Lu Jueyu's cooking skills were great, he was still surprised when he tasted today's dishes. Because he was injured, she only cooked some light dishes for him. Therefore, it was his first time trying such a delicious dish.
Although it is not suitable to eat greasy and heavy flavored food because of the injury, Lu Jueyu thinks it is okay to eat it occasionally. What's more, she used the water in the space to make these dishes. So, it should be fine.
If Father Li thought the food was too much for two people before, after tasting it, he felt that the food was perfect. Both he and his son can eat two bowls of rice. For the first time after the Great Famine, Father Li finally had a full belly.
They finished eating in less than twenty minutes, which made Lu Jueyu a little worried. Eating too fast was not good for their digestive system, so she made some tea to help them digest their food. After she finished clearing the table, Father Li went back to his room to rest.
Sitting beside Li Chenmo, Lu Jueyu said, "Brother Chenmo, in a few days, my brothers will come to build waterways. In the future, we can use mountain spring water instead of well water."
"En." He listened to her and nodded.
Just as she was about to leave, Li Chenmo said, "Jueyu, my father will visit your parents tomorrow."
She looked at him questioningly and asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's about our wedding. You've been going back and forth between our houses to take care of me since I got back. It's winter and it's getting colder every day. I think it's best to hold our marriage earlier. After marriage, it will be much more convenient. What do you think about this?"
Lu Jueyu was surprised by his thoughts. Although she had decided to live in the moment and not think about the heroine, she was caught off guard when he suddenly wanted to advance the wedding date.
Seeing her surprised expression, Li Chenmo quickly added, "If you disagree, we can follow our original plan. It's just that I'm afraid you'll catch a cold and get sick, so you don't have to cook for me during this time. My father can take care of my food."
Hearing this, Lu Jueyu suddenly blurted out with a frown, "It won't do."
Li Chenmo was taken aback, and asked, "Jueyu, what do you mean?"
When she came back to her senses, she hurriedly said, "I don't mean anything else. It's just that you need to replenish your health. You need balanced nutrients, so it's better for me to cook for you. "
Li Chenmo looked at her and fell silent. After a while, he shook his head and said, "No. I promise to take care of my body, so you don't have to worry about me. I don't want you to get sick while taking care of me. What should I do if something happens to you?"
Lu Jueyu saw that she couldn't negotiate with him as he had already made up his mind and refused to compromise. She didn't expect him to be so stubborn, and she was annoyed. They glanced at each other, neither willing to back down. In the end, she still failed to win against him, and said helplessly, "Alright. I will listen to you."
