The young man looked at his wife with guilt. When he could only come back for a few days last year, she never complained.
She not only didn't get angry with him, she even sewed a set of new clothes and made a lot of food for him to bring back to the military camp, making her comrades jealous.
With such a wonderful daughter-in-law, he was confused at what his mother was complaining about?
While the young man was feeling disappointed in his mother, Li Chenmo glanced at his wife and saw she was busy drawing something. Feeling curious, he took a break and walked over.
Standing behind his wife, he leaned down and saw the two-story house design on her notebook. Seeing this, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Wife, are you planning to build a new house?"
Hearing her husband's voice, Lu Jueyu was startled and said, "Husband, can you walk with a noise? You startled me."
Seeing his wife patting her chest, Li Chenmo squatted beside her chair and said, "I'm sorry for startling you. What are you doing?"
"I'm drawing a house design for Sister Liu Hua's ex-sister-in-law. Husband, what do you think of my design?" Lu Jueyu explained while showing her design to her husband.
Li Chenmo looked at the design for a moment before he said, "Well, the design is beautiful and maximizes land usage."
When she heard this, Lu Jueyu smiled and nodded. "I did think about the land usage when drawing this design."
Li Chenmo went silent for a moment before he added, "But wife, this kind of design is unusual in this era. If you take out this design, people will definitely be suspicious. After all, your design is a combination of a courtyard house and a modern minimalist theme."
"With our current educational level and living situation, it's impossible for us to know about this intricate design. Even if we use my background as a soldier, it couldn't explain the design's source."
When she heard her husband's words, Lu Jueyu went silent. After a while, she said, "Husband, I'm sorry. I didn't think further."
Holding her hands, Li Chenmo smiled and said, "Wife, I didn't say these words to blame you. Your idea is great; it's just that it's not time to use it yet."
"Husband, I understand."
After she said that, Lu Jueyu closed the notebook and stored it in her space. She then took a coarse paper and drew a simple one-courtyard house.
The design included one main building and a building on both the west and east wings. The main house had two doors, making it easier to access the backyard.
The side building could be used as a woodshed and an extra house. As for the kitchen, it was located in the backyard, while the bathroom and toilet were located fifty meters away from the water source. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Unlike the open latrines used by the villagers, the toilet followed a modern design with a pipe connecting it to the septic tank outside the house.
Li Chenmo chuckled at his wife's reaction and replied, "Wife, he finally got a wife after 30 years. It's normal for him to be excited for a few weeks. After the excitement cools down, he won't use it too often."
Lu Jueyu blushed at her husband's words and said, "You and your brothers are always behaving so shamelessly."
Being called shameless by his wife so suddenly, Li Chenmo was stunned. He looked at his wife and asked aggrievedly, "Wife, when did I act shameless?"
The moment she heard this, Lu Jueyu almost rolled her eyes until they pierced the heavens. She glared at him and said, "Since when have you not acted shameless?"
As soon as she finished her words, Li Chenmo stretched his arms and pulled his wife into his embrace. He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Wife, I didn't act shamelessly. I'm just taking advantage of my position as your husband."
The moment he said these words, he captured his wife's soft lips and enjoyed the delicacy. The two of them were so lost in their passion that they didn't hear Dong Huang calling for them from the main yard.
"Father, Mother, Xiao Huang is back!"
When Dong Li saw that no one was responding to their call, he knew that his father was bullying his mother again. Before his sister could run to the backyard, he quickly caught her bag to stop her.
With her school bag being held by her brother, Dong Huang stopped in her tracks. Turning her head to look at him, she asked doubtfully, "Brother, what are you doing?"
