Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1090

Chapter 1090: A Good Girl
From the moment they entered the village, the villagers watched them curiously, especially noting the Pan family’s clothing and demeanor. While the villagers observed them, the second aunt also looked around with great interest.

Born and raised in the city, this was her first visit to a small village. Although she often traveled with her husband during his business trip, their destinations were usually cities or towns.

As they passed an old banyan tree, a group of villagers chatting and playing chess noticed Father Li. One of them called out, “Old Li, you are finally back!”

Recognizing his friend, Father Li waved and nodded, “Aye, Old Wang! I just arrived this morning.”

Sensing his weariness, the friend added, “Oh, welcome back. Then you go back first. We will talk another day.”

“Alright,” Father Li replied with a smile.

When they reached Father Li’s house, Han Yuheng parked the tractor on the roadside while Li Chenze and Zhang Ermu drove the bicycle and bullock cart into the yard.

Not long after they climbed down from the bullock cart, Dong Huang’s excited voice rang out from the house, “Father! Mother! Brother!”

Turning around, Lu Jueyu saw her daughter running toward her like a small deer. She opened her arms to catch her, but before the little girl could reach her, Li Chenmo scooped her up.

Holding his daughter in his arms, he said gently, “Xiao Huang, don’t rush to your mother like that. She can’t carry you, and both of you might get hurt.”

Dong Huang giggled at her father’s words while hugging his neck. She nodded and said, “Father, welcome home!”

Seeing her bright smile, Li Chenmo sighed, pinched her cheek, and asked, “Did Xiao Huang behave while Father and Mother were away?”

Dong Huang nodded and said earnestly, “Father, Xiao Huang ate well and slept well.”

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu laughed and said, “Xiao Huang is such a good girl.”

“Mother, I missed you! Why were you gone so long?” Dong Huang pouted.

“Mother missed Xiao Huang too,” Lu Jueyu replied with a smile.

“How about I make your favorite braised pork tomorrow?” she coaxed her daughter.

At those words, Dong Huang’s eyes lit up. She slipped down from her father’s arms, hugged her mother’s leg, and said excitedly, “Thank you, Mother!”

Standing nearby, Mother Pan asked with a smile, “Jueyu, is this your daughter?”

“Yes,” Lu Jueyu replied, then turned to Dong Huang. “Xiao Huang, these are Grandma Pan, Grandpa Pan, and Second Grandaunt. Greet them.”

Although it was her first time meeting them, Dong Huang wasn’t shy. In her sweet, milky voice, she said politely, “Hello, Grandma Pan, Grandpa Pan, Second Grandaunt.”

Her adorable greeting melted their hearts. The second aunt was especially taken with her and pulled a yuan from her purse to give her.

Seeing this, Dong Huang hesitated to accept it, but the second aunt insisted, slipping the money into her pocket and saying, “Take it and buy some candy.”

Since she had insisted, Lu Jueyu smiled helplessly and said, “Xiao Huang, thank your second grandaunt.”

Beaming with joy, Dong Huang said, “Thank you, Second Grandaunt!”

“Aye, what a good girl,” the second aunt said and patted her head fondly.

While they chatted with Dong Huang, Dong Li moved Father Li’s bags into the house. As the sun began to set, Li Lingyun said, “Father, you should rest now. We will visit you tomorrow.”

“Alright, you should go back and rest too,” Father Li replied.

After leaving Father Li’s house, Han Yuheng returned the tractor to the production team’s warehouse, while Li Chenmo and the others headed to Li Lingyun’s house. With the Pan family and his family riding on Zhang Ermu’s bullock cart, Li Chenmo rode his bicycle.

By the time they reached Li Lingyun’s house, the sky had darkened. After unloading the Pan family’s luggage from the cart, Li Chenmo took his family back home.

Before Zhang Ermu went back to his house, Li Lingyun gave him a basket of vegetables and said, “Thank you for your help today, Brother Ermu.”

After taking a look at the fresh vegetables, Zhang Ermu nodded and said, “Thank you for the vegetables. My parents like it very much.”

“If your parents like it, come and get some after you finish the vegetables. I planted so much that I can’t even finish it.”

“Then I won’t be polite with you,” Zhang Ermu smiled

After sending Zhang Ermu away, Li Lingyun locked the door and went to boil water for them to wash.

Inside the house, Pan Meijia showed her parents and second aunt the room prepared for them. Seeing the clean, tidy room with everything ready, Mother Pan asked, “Jiajia, are you living here with Ah Yun?”

“No, Mother. I live with Jueyu’s parents,” Pan Meijia replied as she took out some pillows from the cabinet.

Mother Pan nodded and asked again, “Then will you be staying here tonight?”

According to village regulations, she was expected to return to the Lu family’s house. So, she shook her head and said, “No, Mother. I will head back to the Lu family’s house tonight. You, Father, and my second aunt can stay here.”

Just as she finished speaking, Li Lingyun approached and said, “Jiajia, you can stay with your second aunt tonight. I have already informed the team leader.”

Surprised by his words, Pan Meijia asked, “Brother Yun, when did you tell the team leader?”

“Before we left my father’s house,” he replied casually.

Since the arrangements had already been made, Pan Meijia didn’t object. She was happy to spend more time with her parents.

Meanwhile, at Li Chenmo’s house, Lu Jueyu was boiling water for everyone to wash up. Tired from the day’s journey, she decided to make a simple egg and tomato noodles for dinner.

After the water boiled, Li Chenmo and Dong Li went to wash up. When they were done, dinner was ready. The family of four brought their dinner to the living room and had a meal together.
