Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 385

Chapter 385: Dinner ( 2 )
They entered the living room while chatting. Seeing the guests arriving, Li Chenmo stood up and greeted the guests while Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen and brought out the dishes. Pan Meijia helped her bring the food and utensils over.

Afterwards, she sat next to Li Lingyun and poured a glass of fruit wine for herself and her boyfriend. Seeing her acting like she was at home, Chen Lina snorted coldly and glanced sideways at her which was noticed by Li Lingyun and Li Chenmo.

Pan Meijia didn’t know that she was being looked down upon, so she put the fruit wine in front of her boyfriend and whispered, “Brother Yun, try this fruit wine. If you like it, I’ll ask Jueyu to teach me how to make it.”

Li Lingyun was very happy that his girlfriend worked hard to learn to cook for him and said, “Don’t be too tired.”

Hearing his words, Pan Meijia smiled and said, “Brother Yun, don’t worry. I’m not tired at all. After all, I’m not learning to cook just for you.”

“Oh? Apart from me, who else will my Jia Er learn to cook for?”

When he whispered these words, his breath brushed Pan Meijia’s cheek which made her recall their passionate kiss yesterday. The tips of her ears turned red and she said, “Anyway, I’m learning cooking is not just for you.”

After saying that, she ignored him and focused her gaze on the food. She couldn’t tell him that she learned to cook just so that their children could eat delicious food in the future, right? There was no way she could tell him these embarrassing words.

After everyone sat down, Li Chenmo raised his cup and said, “Aunt Li, thank you for helping my wife. Please don’t dislike these dishes and eat more.”

When Aunt Li heard what Li Chenmo said, she smiled from ear to ear and said, “What’s not to like? These dishes are much better than what my family used to eat. What’s more, Jueyu’s cooking skill is the best in our village, so I must eat more tonight!”

Everyone laughed after hearing her words, and the atmosphere was relaxed and warm. Only Chen Lina found her mother-in-law’s words vulgar and embarrassing. After finishing their drinks, everyone started to use their chopsticks.

Seeing the bowl of braised pork, Chen Lina quickly put a few pieces of fatty meat into her son’s bowl and said, “My son eats slowly, let me help him get some dishes first.”

Lu Jueyu smiled and said with a nod, “Children should eat more.”

Then, she picked a few pieces of fatty meat, put them in Da Niu’s bowl, and said, “Da Niu, you too. Eat more.”

Looking at the glistening fatty meat in the bowl, Da Niu was stunned. Normally, she was only allowed to eat the sauce, and all the meat went to her brother. Although grandma treated her well, she only gave her one or two pieces of meat at most and doted on Shitou more.

Her family was patriarchal, and as a daughter, she worked more and ate less. This was the first time someone had given her so much meat. She lowered her head and whispered, “Thank you, Aunt Li.”

She thought that with her low voice, Lu Jueyu wouldn’t be able to hear her. But after thanking her, she heard Lu Jueyu say, “You’re welcome. Come on, don’t be shy and eat your fill.”

Lu Jueyu found that Aunt Li and Chen Lina were concentrating on feeding Shitou, while Li Sang was concentrating on chatting with Li Chenmo and Li Lingyun. Da Niu’s sense of existence is as low as if she doesn’t exist which made her frown.

She knows that in this era, many people still have the idea of ​​​​preferring boys over girls. However, when she saw this scene with her own eyes, she couldn’t help but pity the girl. Seeing her thin figure and Shitou’s plump figure, she picked out another dish for her and urged her to eat more.

The children drank warm soy milk instead of fruit wine. So, when she saw Da Niu had finished drinking her soy milk, Lu Jueyu poured her another cup.

After almost an hour, they had finished the meal without leaving even a drop of soup. Seeing the clean plates and bowls, Lu Jueyu was satisfied. There is nothing more satisfying than people enjoying her cooking.

Aunt Li, Da Niu, and Pan Meijia helped her clear the table and wash the dishes, pots and pans, but Chen Lina used her son as an excuse to avoid work and sat in the living room with her husband to chat.

While working, Aunt Li said, “Jueyu, my daughter-in-law has always liked this. If she offended you, I apologize to you on her behalf. Usually the housework is done by Da Niu. So, she is used to not working at home.”

Hearing her words, Pan Meijia and Da Niu acted as if they hadn’t heard anything. They washed the pots while Lu Jueyu said, “Aunt Li, you don’t need to apologize. You are the guest today.”

As soon as Aunt Li said this, she felt relieved and said, “Jueyu, your cooking skills are indeed the best in our village. I have never tasted better food than what you cook.”

“Aunt Li praised me so much. I have loved cooking since I was a child, so I have more experience than others, that’s all.” Lu Jueyu said.

Aunt Li smiled and said nothing more. After cleaning up, Lu Jueyu picked two peaches and gave them to Shitou and Da Niu. After thanking her and Li Chenmo, Aunt Li left with her family, while Pan Meijia and Li Lingyun stayed. It was almost eight o’clock in the evening when Zhang Dongmei, Chen Anwen, and Wang Muxiao arrived.

They went to the kitchen and got ready to work. Unlike previous days, today’s order amount has doubled. Lu Jueyu took out the pre-order list and said, “Sister-in-law, Meijia, tonight we are going to make 600 thin pancakes, 400 Sanzis, 300 chicken empanadas, 220 steamed buns, 200 scallion pancakes, and 80 Zhongzi.”
