Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 624

Chapter 624: Happy Childhood
When Li Chenmo walked to the pig pen, Dong Li and Dong Huang woke up one after another. As usual, they washed up and watered the vegetable gardens, while Lu Jueyu prepared breakfast.

Because they visited Han Liling and Li Shu yesterday, they were unable to invite their families to celebrate Dong Huang’s birthday. Thinking that she would need to make snacks to sell tonight, Lu Jueyu decided to treat her family to lunch.

After the children come back from school, they will eat together. In addition to her family, she also asks her adopted daughter to invite her friends. That way, she and her husband would know which children were closely related to their daughter.

While she never intended to control her adopted children’s social circles, she still needed to keep an eye on their friends. That way, she and her husband can take precautions and talk to their adopted children if they make friends with kids with bad temperaments.

After making this decision, Lu Jueyu decided to make some light snacks for the children so that they could eat more at lunch. She also prepared some light dishes and a bottle of honey water mixed with spiritual grass powder for Han Liling.

An hour later, Li Chenmo came back from the pig pen, and the children also finished watering the vegetable garden. As usual, after washing off the dirt on their bodies, they went to help Lu Jueyu bring the food to the living room.

Today’s breakfast is scallion pancakes, vegetable and meat porridge, with meat sauce and pickled radish as side dishes. There’s also hot soy milk and savory tofu pudding.

While eating, Lu Jueyu said, “Xiao Huang, we couldn’t invite our family to celebrate your birthday yesterday. So, how about we invite our family to have lunch to celebrate today? You and your brother can also invite your friend.”

After hearing her words, both Dong Li and Dong Huang were stunned. Yesterday, their adoptive parents had given Dong Huang red envelopes and prepared a lot of red eggs and milk candies to distribute to her classmates and teachers.

Because of this, Dong Huang and Dong Li are now very popular among students and teachers.

Dong Huang felt this was the best birthday she could have ever had. Unexpectedly, her adoptive mother actually wanted to invite their family to celebrate her birthday!

Normally, families only celebrate the birthdays of the elderly. No one celebrates children’s birthdays.

While Dong Huang was excited, she still looked at Li Chenmo and asked, “Foster father, can I really celebrate my birthday and invite my friends?”

Li Chenmo glanced at his wife and knew what she was thinking. Since their family has the ability to celebrate Dong Huang’s birthday, there is no reason not to do so. While this may attract a lot of peering gazes and jealousy, he and his wife want to give their adopted children a happy childhood.

So, he smiled and said, “The person who has the last say in our family is my wife. Since your foster mother has decided, we will do as she said. You two should invite your friends over to our home to celebrate.”

When Dong Huang heard this, she was overjoyed and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Thank you, foster father and foster mother!”

Seeing her sister smiling happily, Dong Li felt mixed feelings in his heart. He didn’t understand why their adoptive parents were so nice to them. While their foster parents may treat them kindly so they would take care of them in their old age, it’s not necessary to go to this extent.

While he was lost in thought, Lu Jueyu thought he was envious and said, “Xiao Li, we will also celebrate your birthday. You can think about what you want for your birthday and tell us.”

After hearing her words, Dong Li came back to his senses and said, “Foster mother, that’s no need. A bowl of longevity noodles is enough for me.”

Knowing that he was being polite, Lu Jueyu sighed and said, “Xiao Li, even if you are adopted, you are my son. You deserve what other children have and what they don’t have. So, don’t treat me and your foster father as strangers. I would be happier if you two could be more relaxed and free. This is your home and we are your family.”

“At home, we share good moments and bad moments. So don’t be polite to your father or me. Can you do that?” she added.

After she finished speaking, there was a long silence. Just as Dong Li was about to answer, he was interrupted by Dong Huang.

She fidgeted in her seat, glanced at Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu shyly, and asked, “Then can I call you mother and father?”

Seeing her cautious look, Lu Jueyu felt sad for her. She patted her head gently and smiled, “Of course. Mother will be happy if you do.”

When Dong Huang heard this, she smiled brightly. She clasped her hands tightly and said, “Thank you, Mother.”

Then she turned to look at Li Chenmo and shyly said, “Thank you, Father.”

Li Chenmo looked at the cute and soft Dong Huang, and then at the aloof and mature Dong Li. When he saw the difference between a daughter and a son, he decided to have a daughter with his wife as their first child. Now that they already have Dong Li, there is no need for another son.

Attacked by her cuteness, he couldn’t help but reach out and pinch Dong Huang’s cheek gently while saying, “Good girl.”

When Dong Li saw his sister calling them mother and father so easily, he clenched his fists and said nothing. At this moment, he felt that he would be letting down his biological parents if he also called them father and mother. Therefore, he couldn’t open his mouth to call them that.

Sensing his hesitation, Lu Jueyu didn’t want to make him feel bad and changed the subject, “Okay, let’s eat first while the food is still hot.”
