Since it was still early for lunch, Chen Jianmin stayed behind to help Li Shu take care of the herb garden. When Doctor Xie saw this, he didn’t say anything more and went to check his dried medicinal materials in the backyard.
Meanwhile at the foot of the mountain, Li Chenmo was picking honeycombs, and Lu Jueyu was picking mushrooms.
Since it was very close to their home, the two only brought bamboo baskets and shovels to pick mushrooms.
After Li Chenmo finished collecting the honeycombs, he walked to his wife and said, "Wife, I’m done. Should we go back now?"
Lu Jueyu wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at the almost full bamboo basket, and said, "Okay." freёwebnovel.com
Li Chenmo carried the bamboo baskets and said, "Wife, we have to get up early tomorrow. In order to avoid the sun and complete more work, the team leader asked everyone to start working at 5 a.m."
Hearing this, Lu Jueyu said, "So early? Husband, I will prepare some fruit and water for you. If you are tired, eat some fruit to restore your strength when you work."
Li Chenmo smiled when he heard his wife’s words and nodded, "Okay."
When they went back, he said, "Wife, I heard from my second brother that he will propose after the summer harvest. We may need to go with him later to the capital."
"I didn’t expect them to decide on this matter so quickly," Lu Jueyu said with surprise.
Recalling his experience in pursuing his wife, Li Chenmo sighed and said, "My second brother is thick-skinned, so he got his wife so quickly."
After hearing what her husband said, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "Husband, do you think you are not as thick-skinned as your second brother?"
Li Chenmo raised his eyebrows and asked his wife, "Do you think your husband is thick-skinned?"
"I think you and your second brother are both thick-skinned," Lu Jueyu said with a smile.
Li Chenmo was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he smiled at his wife. If he is not thick-skinned, how can he marry his wife?
As they spoke, they arrived at their home. Not long after they returned, there was a knock on the front door. Since her husband went to visit his father, Lu Jueyu went to open the door.
"Who is it?"
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Aunt Li outside.
Stepping aside, Lu Jueyu said as she gestured her to enter, "Aunt Li, what brings you here? Please come in."
Seeing this, Aunt Li nodded to her and said, "Jueyu, I’m sorry for the sudden visit."
After the two sat down in the living room, Lu Jueyu poured a cup of tea for Aunt Li and asked, "Aunt Li, what’s the matter?"
Aunt Li took a sip of tea, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Jueyu, I want to apologize for my words."
Just when Dong Li was observing him, Song Li felt the gaze and turned around. Seeing them, he smiled and walked over.
Seeing him coming, Dong Li pulled her sister behind her and looked at Song Li with squinted eyes.
Song Li realized that the children might not recognize him, so he stood two meters away from them and said, "Are you Dong Li and Dong Huang?"
Hearing this, Dong Huang looked at him and asked, "Uncle, how do you know our names?"
Song Li smiled at her and said, "Your mother and I are maternal cousins. I am your uncle."
Upon hearing this, Dong Huang glanced at him and said, "But you look different from my mother."
"Because we are maternal cousins, we don’t look much alike," Song Li explained.
Although Song Li doesn’t look like Lu Jueyu, he is somewhat similar to Mother Lu. So, Dong Li observed him for a while, discovered his similarities, and greeted him, "Hello, Uncle."
Song Li nodded towards him and said, "Uncle has just moved into this house. When everything settles down, come and play with your cousin."
"Uncle, do we have cousins?" Dong Huang asked.
Song Li nodded and said, "You have nine cousins in total. Your eldest uncle has three sons, your second uncle has four sons, and I have two sons."
