Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 644

Chapter 644: What a Good Father-in-law!
After Checking his nephew’s condition, Chen Jianmin’s uncle said, “Since you are fine, we don’t need to go to the hospital. Ah Min, you should get more rest and don’t make your parents worry too much.”

Chen Jianmin knew that they had figured out his trick, so he nodded and said, “I understand, uncle. I’m sorry for making you and my second granduncle worried.”

His uncle patted his head and said with a smile, “As long as you know that we are on your side, that’s enough. Let’s go back so you can take a rest.”

Wu Yahui did not notice the hidden meaning in their conversation and said gratefully, “Cousin, I’m sorry for causing you trouble. Thank you for helping us.”

“Sister-in-law, we are a family. There is no need to be so polite.”

After a brief conversation, Chen Jianmin was carried back by his uncle. When they came back, Chen Bo and his brothers had already gone to the brigade office to apply for new household registration.

At the same time, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo just finished harvesting the vegetables and went to her space.

Appearing in the space’s bedroom, Lu Jueyu said, “Husband, you go take a shower and rest first. I will make you some sandwiches.”

“Okay.” Li Chenmo leaned over and kissed his wife, then went to take a hot bath.

While her husband was taking a shower, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen to make roast beef sandwiches and chicken sandwiches for him. For herself, she made vegetable sandwiches and tuna mayonnaise sandwiches. In addition, she also prepared fruit salad and watermelon juice.

Not long after she finished cooking, she heard her husband’s voice, “Wife, I will clean the kitchen. You go take a bath first, and then we have lunch together.”

Putting the fruit salad on the table, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “Then I will take a bath quickly. Wait for me.”

He leaned down to kiss the top of his wife’s head and said, “Mhmm, take your time.”

After lunch, the two of them went to bed. Perhaps due to fatigue, when Lu Jueyu woke up, her husband was still asleep. Because she didn’t want to wake him up, she moved slightly, washed her face, and then went to prepare the birthday dishes for Dong Huang.

For today’s meal, she is going to make five dishes and one soup. No appetizers are required since she will let the guests try the spicy edamame as snacks, but she will prepare birthday cake and desserts for guests to take home.

For a birthday meal, they can’t skip longevity noodles. This time, instead of using a single noodle to make a bowl of longevity noodles, she used ordinary noodles to make seafood fried noodles. She prepared five bowls of noodles, each bowl was enough for eight people.

In addition to noodles, she also made steamed fish with mushroom and ginger, egg and vegetable fried dumplings, Kung Pao chicken, Mapo tofu, and wonton soup. She prepares five portions of each dish.

After she finished with the dishes, she made glutinous rice rolls, also known as rolling donkeys, which are one of Beijing’s famous snacks. It’s rolled with sweet red bean paste inside and coated with soybean flour on the outside. It’s perfect for dessert.

After she finished cooking the food and snacks, she finally started making the birthday cake. Because supplies were scarce in this era, she could only make buttercream cakes to avoid suspicions.

In order to make the color more beautiful, Lu Jueyu added some strawberry jam to the cream and stirred until blended. The cake is filled with strawberry jam and fresh berries in the middle, then covered with buttercream. She then covered the top of the cake with fresh strawberries as a garnish.

Although simple, the cake is beautiful and is a three-layer cake. It should be enough to share it with everyone later.

After the cake was done, she wrapped the rolling donkey in oil paper. Then, she folded fifty origami bowls, put two pieces of rolling donkeys and three pieces of milk candies in them, and sealed them with glue. This will be given to the guests later when they leave.

Not long after she finished wrapping up the gift, she saw her husband coming out of the bedroom.

Seeing that his wife had finished cooking, Li Chenmo asked, “Wife, why didn’t you wake me up?”

“I see you are sleeping so deeply, and I don’t want to wake you up. You are very tired from work and need a good rest.” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

“Thank you, wife.” Li Chenmo said and leaned down to kiss her soft lips.

“Husband, everything has been prepared. Should we leave now?” she asked.

Hearing her words, Li Chenmo nodded and said, “Mhmm, I’m going to borrow some tables and stools from our neighbors and families.”

Lu Jueyu held her husband’s hand and took the two of them out of her space. Reappearing in their bedroom, Li Chenmo went to borrow the table and bench, while she went to the kitchen to light a fire. She needed to at least light the stove so as not to arouse suspicion.

While the two were busy, Father Su finally returned to the Gao family’s house after going to pick up one of his shoes.

When he entered the front yard, he heard Da Gao sneering, “Father-in-law, you look so busy that you have to go out every day.”

Father Su was unhappy because he was reported by Li Chenmo. When he came back, he was laughed at by his son-in-law, which made him even more angry.

“Son-in-law, what do you mean?” he asked gloomily.

Da Gao stood up from his seat and said, “So you still treat me as your son-in-law. I thought you would only use my house as an inn. You eat and sleep at my place, and as soon as you wake up, you run to Li Chenmo’s house. All the good things were given to him when I, your son-in-law, got nothing. What a good father-in-law!”
