Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 399

Unlike the awkward atmosphere at lunch, the atmosphere now was relaxed. Since the guests who came were all people close to Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu, Dong Li and Dong Huang felt much more relaxed. They even call the elderly as grandpa, grandma, uncle, and aunt affectionately.

As for the Lu family, they treated the Dong siblings as their own grandchildren. The Lu family is the perfect example of the proverb ’Love the house, love the crow.’

From the moment their daughter adopted these two children, they became part of the Lu family.

At this time, Mother Lu and Father Lu were taking out the red envelopes they had prepared and said, "Xiao Li, Xiao Huang, this is a gift prepared by your grandparents for you, take it."

Both of them glanced at Li Chenmo, asking for his permission. Seeing him nodding, they finally dared to accept the red envelope and said, "Thank you, grandmother and grandfather."

Not to be outdone, Father Li also took out his own gifts and handed them to the children, followed in order by the rest of the Lu family and the Li family.

Chen Lina saw a stack of red envelopes in the hands of Dong Li and Dong Huang and whispered, "Aren’t they just orphans? What are the Lu family and Li family showing off for? Instead of giving so much money to foster children, wouldn’t it be better to spend it on their biological children?"

After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Aunt Li’s face darkened and she said, "If you only know how to make trouble, you’d better go back quickly. Don’t embarrass my Li family!"

Although she was unhappy, Chen Lina did not dare to go against her mother-in-law at all. Although Aunt Li is amiable in front of everyone, she is very strict with her daughter-in-law. Therefore, only the eldest of the three sons lived with her. As for the second and third sons, because their wives could not bear to live with Aunt Li, they moved to the town.

After the Lu family and the Li family handed over gifts to Dong Li and Dong Huang, Li Chenmo poured the tonic wine into his wife’s and his own cups and said, "Everyone, thank you for coming today. Today, my wife and I want to share our happiness. From today on, Dong Li and Dong Huang are all our children. I hope everyone can bear witness to this."

After saying that, he drank the wine in one gulp. Following him, everyone finished their wine, and the children drank juice. Sitting at the same table with the children, Dong Li was still very reserved unlike his sister.

At this time, Li Jingqian noticed this and took a large spoonful of Kung Pao Chicken with his spoon and put it in Dong Li’s bowl.

"The food cooked by my third aunt is delicious. If you stay in a daze again, the food will be gone when you come back to your senses!"

Before Dong Li could speak, Li Jingqian looked at the children and said, "Hey, can’t all of you be more polite? Leave some for me!"

Dong Li stopped sweeping the floor, raised his head, and said, "Good morning, Foster mother. I used to wake up before dawn, so I can’t sleep any longer."

Lu Jueyu didn’t ask him to change his habits, and nodded, "Wear thicker clothes if you get up early, so as not to catch a cold. Come in after sweeping the yard."

"Alright."

Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen to light a fire and boil a pot of water for them to wash up. After the water was ready, she washed herself with it and boiled another pot for Dong Li. At the same time, she lit the brazier and made some scallion pancakes in a small pan.

For breakfast, in addition to scallion pancakes, she also made a pot of plain porridge, a basket of meat buns, and a pot of soy milk. She also took out some century eggs and a jar of meat sauce from her space.

Since the children have to go to school today, she needs to prepare some snacks for them.
