Though Dong Li often saw their parents hugging and kissing, this was the first time he had heard them… doing that. Even though he knew it was normal for a married couple, he still felt embarrassed and decided not to disturb them.
Thus, today, the emperor abstained from the morning court because of the beauty.
Thinking about this idiom, Dong Li chuckled. His father truly was like an emperor indulging in the pleasures of beauty. The only difference was that his father wanted only one beauty and had no eyes for another.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Li Chenmo finally came out of the room.
He went to the kitchen, fetched a basin of hot water, and returned to clean his wife's body. Afterward, he changed his wife's drenched clothes into a thin pajama, covered her stomach with a light blanket, and left the room.
Just as he finished taking a shower, he saw his second brother approaching. Opening the backyard gate, he greeted, "Good morning, Second Brother."
Li Lingyun raised his eyebrows when he saw his third brother's relaxed and rejuvenated appearance. He no longer looked irritable and gloomy.
"Third brother, it seems you are having a good time," he said meaningfully.
"Well, it's not bad," Li Chenmo replied with a chuckle.
"We have finished working on the pigpen. If you have time, check the fertilizer mixture. Eldest Brother mixed it today," Li Lingyun said.
"Okay, I will go after my wife wakes up," Li Chenmo said.
After a brief silence, Li Lingyun asked, "Third Brother, do you still have vegetable seeds? I'm planning to build a greenhouse and plant summer vegetables too."
Hearing this, Li Chenmo thought for a moment before replying, "My wife should have some seeds left after we planted the greenhouses. I will ask her later and send them over to you."
Li Lingyun nodded and replied ,"Thank your wife for me. I brought back some pork belly yesterday—remember to come and get it."
"Okay."
Before leaving, Li Lingyun hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice, "Third Brother, do you still have that waterproof blanket?"
The moment he heard this, Li Chenmo chuckled and asked, "Second Brother, how many do you need?"
"Can you give me two more?" Li Lingyun asked after thinking for a moment.
Hearing this, Li Chenmo raised an eyebrow and said, "Second Brother, you should exercise restraint. You are not young anymore. It wouldn't be good if you emptied yourself and couldn't perform in the future."
As soon as he heard this, Li Lingyun raised his leg and kicked him, saying, "You are the one being emptied!"
"Even if my wife empties me every night, she nourishes me with good food every day. I'm well-fed and always full of power every time I shoot."
Hearing his third brother's shameless bragging, Li Lingyun rolled his eyes and said, "Shameless! Your wife is pregnant and you still pestered her like this. Be careful of harming your baby."
After he said this, he added, "Just remember to give me the blankets later."
After tidying herself up, she stepped outside and went to the backyard to wash up. When she was done, she went to the kitchen and heated up some breakfast.
She was hungry and finished eating in half an hour. Just as she walked out of the kitchen, she saw her husband approaching.
Holding her hands, Li Chenmo asked, "Wife, why didn't you call me when you woke up? The smoke in the kitchen isn't good for you. Just ask me to heat up the food next time."
"I didn't inhale the smoke, don't worry. Husband, let me help you build the greenhouse," she said.
The moment he heard this, Li Chenmo refused instantly, "No. You are carrying our babies, and that's already hard enough for you. Don't even think of doing heavy work."
Seeing his wife's dejected expression, he added, "If you want to help, prepare some vegetable seeds for my second brother. He's planning to build a greenhouse and plant some vegetables too."
"Also, prepare extra in case his friend wants some seeds," he added after a moment of thought.
Lu Jueyu nodded and replied, "Husband, leave it to me."
"Wife, just give them normal seeds," Li Chenmo reminded her.
"Okay," she nodded.
After settling his wife on the balcony, Li Chenmo returned to work.
