Chapter 1117: Expected Results ( 2 )
Lu Jueyu nodded at her husband’s words and said, “I’m done. Husband, let’s go back. I’m so tired.”

Seeing his wife’s tired face, Li Chenmo felt a pang of heartache. He hesitated before saying, “Wife, Uncle Pan and his family will stay at our house until they return to the city.”

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “I already expected this and prepared their rooms. However, we might need to postpone our plan to go to the mountain. With guests at home, it would be rude to leave them unattended.”

Interlocking their fingers, Li Chenmo said gratefully, “Thank you for understanding, Wife.”

Lu Jueyu chuckled at his words and replied, “Husband, why are you being so polite with me all of a sudden? It’s only natural to let the Second Brother and his wife spend time alone. After all, tonight is their wedding night. With three elders living with them, it would be awkward for everyone.”

Li Chenmo smiled and said, “Then let’s go back now.”

“Okay.”

As they approached, Han Yuheng walked over with a frown and said, “Brother Chenmo, Sister-in-law, I spoke with the brigade secretary. He agreed not to claim the mountain, but you might need to donate some food on distribution day.”

Upon hearing this, Li Chenmo nodded. He had already anticipated this outcome. Without some benefit, it was unlikely the brigade would relinquish claim to the mountain. Since they only wanted some food, it was a small matter for him and his wife.

Thanks to their space, they didn’t have to worry about food shortages. If they could help others, it also counted as accumulating good merit for themselves.

What’s more, the grains they donated would come from the production team, which were of far lesser quality than those grown in their space. Having grown accustomed to eating space-grown food, they found it increasingly difficult to eat the production team’s grains.

After a moment of thought, Li Chenmo nodded and said, “Brother Yuheng, I understand. We have no problem donating food. After all, the work points we have earned from raising pigs are more than enough to exchange for food.”

Thinking about the number of piglets they were raising, Han Yuheng heaved a sigh of relief and said, “That’s good. I was worried you might not have enough food if you donated to the brigade.”

Patting his shoulder, Li Chenmo replied, “Don’t worry about us. My wife and I discovered a field of wheat when we went to the mountain a few days ago. When the wheat is ready to harvest, we will let you know, and we can go harvest it together.”

Han Yuheng was taken aback by his words. Although the mountain’s resources were free for all, an unwritten rule dictated that whoever found resources could claim them. Sharing wasn’t required. For them to willingly share the resources showed their trust and acceptance of him as one of their own.

Feeling both grateful and delighted, Han Yuheng quickly nodded and said, “Brother Chenmo, just let me know if you need anything. As long as I’m able, I will do my best to help you!”

Smiling at his enthusiastic words, Li Chenmo replied, “Alright.”

After returning the keys to the village hall, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo headed back home, followed by the Pan family. Dong Li rode the bicycle and took Dong Huang back first while the adults walked.

When they arrived at Li Chenmo’s house, the sky had darkened, and stars filled the night like diamonds. Dong Li and Dong Huang, who had arrived earlier, had already boiled water for everyone to wash up.

As soon as they entered the yard, the Pan family was stunned by the expansive front yard. As they looked around, what surprised them even more were the vegetable gardens.

Compared to their son-in-law’s garden, Li Chenmo’s was much larger and more vibrant. The vegetables looked incredibly fresh and noticeably larger at just a glance.

After locking the gate, Lu Jueyu led the Pan family to the backyard and said, “Uncle Pan, Aunt Pan, Second Aunt, I have prepared your rooms in the west wing. We only have one kitchen and bathroom in the backyard, so it might be a little inconvenient if you need to go to the toilet during the night.”

Hearing this, the second aunt waved her hand and said with a smile, “It’s alright. We can use a candle to light the way if we need to.”

Lu Jueyu smiled and continued, “This is the living room in the front courtyard, and the children’s rooms are in the east wing. In the back courtyard, we usually have our meals in this smaller living room. The kitchen and bathroom are located further back.”

As they walked, she showed them around. By the time they reached the backyard, Mother Pan let out an exclamation as she looked at the vegetable gardens, “Jueyu, your tomatoes look amazing!”

“Aunt Pan, these are cherry tomatoes. They are smaller than the ones sold in the grain and supply store, but they taste much better,” Lu Jueyu explained.

While the Pan family admired the vegetable garden, Dong Li emerged from the kitchen while carrying a bucket of hot water.

“Mother, the hot water is ready,” he announced.

“Ah Li, you and Xiao Huang should wash up first and rest,” said Lu Jueyu.

“Mother, we have already washed up. The hot water is prepared for you and the guests,” Dong Li replied.

Hearing this, Father Pan looked at the sky and realized that it was not early anymore. He walked over, took the bucket from Dong Li and said, “Thank you for boiling water for us. Xiao Li.”

Dong Li nodded and replied, “Grandpa Pan, there is more hot water in the kitchen if you need it.”

He then turned to his mother and said, “Mother, I will head to my room now. I still have some homework to finish.”

“Alright, go ahead,” Lu Jueyu said with a nod.

As it was getting late, the Pan family quickly washed up and settled into the rooms prepared for them. After having a huge meal in the afternoon, no one was hungry and soon fell asleep due to fatigue.
