Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 271

Chapter 271: Dong Huang ( 1 )
Lu Jueyu walked up to Li Chenmo with a smile, handed the bamboo basket to him, and said, “Husband, I prepared some kumquats for you as a snack.”

Li Chenmo took the bamboo basket and said, “Mhmm, thank you, wife.”

“I also prepared some for Brother Ling. Remember to give it to him when you see him later.” She added.

When Li Chenmo heard that his wife had also prepared snacks for another man, his eyes narrowed dangerously. He approached her and asked, “Wife, why did you suddenly prepare his share? Are you still thinking about his handsome face? Hm?”

Lu Jueyu smelled the sourness in his words and said, “Husband, what are you thinking? I treat him well because he is your friend. As your wife, I should give you more face in front of him .”

Li Chenmo looked into her eyes and was fascinated by her bright and clear eyes. Unable to restrain his desire, he leaned down and took his wife’s soft lips into his mouth. He had kissed her countless times in his previous life, and he knew how to make her feel comfortable.

Although the kiss only lasted five minutes, Lu Jueyu felt that her soul was almost being sucked away by her husband, and her body softened. She could only lean on her husband and said breathlessly, “Husband, you should leave now, otherwise you will be late.”

Li Chenmo thought his wife was too cute and let out a chuckle. He kissed the top of her head and said in a low voice, “Okay. You’re very busy these days, don’t tire yourself and rest more.”

Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “En. I will bring your lunch over later.”

After hugging for a while, Li Chenmo reluctantly let go of her and left home with a smile. Although he does not have the same authority and wealth as in his previous life, he is very satisfied with his current life. No one here can separate them. Such a wonderful life!

Lu Jueyu locked the door and went to the kitchen to get the bamboo basket. Afterward, she went to the front yard and started to harvest the lettuce. She picks a four to six-inch leaf and cuts it off with a harvesting knife, a quarter inch off the stem. This way, the lettuces will continue to grow and she can continue to harvest them until they sprout flowers.

Although the plot of land is not large, she only collected half of the plot and already filled a large bamboo basket. Looking at the growing lettuce, a bright smile appeared on her beautiful face. With this amount of fresh lettuce, she can share it with her family and friends.

While it is almost early spring, fresh vegetables are rare and expensive on the market. Her family eats a lot of pickles, and eating green vegetables is a good change for them. After resting for a while, she continued to harvest lettuce.

Not long after, she heard a knock at the door, followed by a girl’s milky voice, “Is anyone home?”

Hearing her voice, Lu Jueyu stopped what she was doing and opened the door. When she opened the door, she saw a bundle of firewood in front of her. The next moment, a thin girl appeared behind the firewood, her forehead covered with sweat.

She smiled at her, showing the two missing teeth in the front, and said, “Aunt Li, this is the firewood that Uncle Li asked me and my brother to pick up. Where do you want me to put it? ”

Lu Jueyu was a little surprised to see that such a young girl could speak so fluently. Are all children in this world born with high IQs?

Seeing her thin wrist, she took the firewood and asked, “Little girl, what is your name?”

“Aunt Li, my name is Dong Huang. I am five years old.”

“Have you eaten yet?” Lu Jueyu asked again.

Dong Huang hesitated for a moment but remembered her brother’s words and shook her head. Her brother told her that if Aunt Li or Uncle Li gave her food, she should accept it because it was their firewood payment.

Seeing her shaking her head, Lu Jueyu held her hand and said, “Then come in.”

Dong Huang was stunned when her small palm was wrapped by that soft and warm big palm. She followed Lu Jueyu into the house in a daze. This was the first time since she could remember that an adult had gently held her hand. Usually, it was her brother’s rough little hands that held hers.

Looking at Lu Jueyu’s back, Dong Huang couldn’t help but think how great it would be if she and her brother still had parents. She always envied other children who would be scolded by their parents if they didn’t go home for dinner.

Not knowing the little girl’s complicated mood, Lu Jueyu took her to the living room, poured her a glass of warm water, and asked, “What do you want to eat?”

“Aunt Li, everything is fine. However, Uncle Li said he would give us four steamed buns in exchange for a bundle of firewood.”

Lu Jueyu nodded after listening to her words and said, “Okay, wait here for a moment.”

Dong Huang sat obediently and took a sip of warm water. The moment she drank the water, her eyes lit up and she whispered while looking at the clean water with wide eyes, “It’s so sweet.”

She was reluctant to drink the water all at once and took a small sip to savor the taste. Compared with the brackish water the villagers usually drink at home, the water Lu Jueyu uses for drinking water comes from her space. So, the water is refreshing with a hint of sweetness.

While Dong Huang was enjoying the water, Lu Jueyu went to the front yard to get the harvested lettuce before she put the firewood in the woodshed. She will continue to harvest later. To keep the lettuce fresh, she keeps it in her own space while she is in the kitchen.
