After holding her for a while, Li Chenmo let her go and took hot water to the bathroom to wash up. After the New Year conversation, Lu Jueyu thought he would push their relationship forward. But unexpectedly, after returning from her parents’ home, he didn’t say anything about the matter, and he didn’t do anything at night.
Although she didn’t say anything, she was actually expecting something to happen. After all, he was her husband and she wanted to be closer to him. But she was too embarrassed to remind him of their conversation, so she pretended to be nonchalant. It’s really hard to understand what he’s thinking.
As soon as breakfast was ready, Li Chenmo walked out of the bathroom. He helped her bring food to their room, and they ate together by the dim light of an oil lamp. Sitting on the Kang bed, Lu Jueyu poured a cup of warm soy milk for Li Chenmo and said, "Husband, drink it first to warm your stomach."
"Thank you, wife." He accepted the cup and said with a smile.
Li Chenmo took a sip of the soy milk and let out a satisfied sigh. He didn’t know how his wife could make such delicious soy milk. Since fresh milk was rare and expensive, most villagers would grind soybean and make fresh soy milk. But he never tastes soy milk tastier than his wife’s.
Seeing him enjoying the soy milk, Lu Jueyu smiled. She scooped a bowl of chicken porridge for him and placed it in front of him. After that she scooped a bowl for herself and ate it with the steamed buns. While the breakfast was simple, it was delicious and filling. Compared to other villagers who only ate coarse pancakes, their breakfast could be said to be lavish.
After they finished their breakfast, Li Chenmo went to wash the dishes while Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen. She took out a three layered bamboo basket from the cabinet and placed it on the table. She looked at Li Chenmo and saw that he was still washing the dishes in the backyard. So, she took out 30 empanadas she made before from her space and put them inside the bamboo basket.
After that, she took out two jars of meat sauce and 30 scallion pancakes from her space.
Since today she only went to check the market, she didn’t take out too many items. After all, if she wants to sell more, she only needs to take it out from her space. She uses a fabric to cover the food before she closes the bamboo basket’s lid.
After putting on scarves, woolen hats and gloves, they locked the door and headed to town. When Lu Jueyu raised her head, she found that the sky was still full of stars. She looked at the stars in amazement.
She had never seen so many stars in her previous life, either because she was busy at work and had no time to appreciate nature or because they were obscured by fine dust, smoke, and bright city lights.
Hearing this, the man looked around and said, "Come in."
Under the dim light, Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu entered the room. Lu Jueyu looked around and saw many items inside. In addition to grains and various meats, there are also some antiques and jade. When her eyes fell on those jade stones, Lu Jueyu was shocked. She doesn’t know much about antiques, but she knows a lot about jade. Those jade stones are all top-grade quality.
After they walked into another room, the young man said, "Brother Houzi, these people are looking for you."
The man raised his head and looked at them from head to toe. Judging from their clothes, he can tell that they are here to do business. The next moment, he asked, "Who told you about me?"
Li Chenmo took out a letter from his pocket and said, "You will know after reading this letter."
