Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 653

Chapter 653: Don’t Hang on My Tree ( 1 )
Chen Jianmin likes straightforward people the most, so when he looked at Li Jingqian, his smile became more sincere, and said, “Okay, Jingqian. You can also call me by my name.”

“How old are you by the way?” Li Jingqian asked.

“I am 12 years old this year.” Chen Jianmin said.

“We are 8 years old this year. Since you are older than us, then we will call you Brother Jianmin and you can call us by name.”

“Okay.”

At the same time, Lu Jueyu was busy in the kitchen. She heated the dishes she had taken out from her space earlier, and when she was alone, she took out the remaining dishes from her space.

Just as the food was warmed up, Liu Hua, Pan Meijia, Zhang Dongmei, and Chen Anwen entered the kitchen. Looking at the amount of food, they were surprised.

“Jueyu, there is so much food. Can we finish it?” Zhang Dongmei asked.

“If there are any leftovers, we can eat them later or let the guests bring them back.” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

Nodding her head, Zhang Dongmei added, “Jueyu, everyone is here. Now it’s time to serve the dishes.”

Lu Jueyu nodded, pointed to the dishes, and said, “Sister-in-law, Meijia, sister Liu Hua, please help me take the dishes out. I will get the wine first.”

“Alright! Leave it to us.” Liu Hua said and went to serve the food.

When the food was being served, Lu Jueyu walked to the back of the kitchen carrying two wine vessels. Her husband kept the water vat she used to make wine there. So if she went there to get the wine, no one would suspect her.

After confirming that she was alone, she went into her own space, filled the wine vessels with grape wine, and then left the space.

When she brought out the wine, Li Chenmo walked over to her and took the wine vessels from her hand. He came closer and said, “Wife, why did it take you so long to come back?”

“Husband, I have only been away for twenty minutes.” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

After they were seated, the meal finally began. It started later than planned but everyone had a great time despite the wait. They also had snacks so they didn’t feel too hungry.

When the food was served, they thought they wouldn’t be able to eat much. But the moment they tasted the dish, their appetite increased and they ate more than usual.

An hour later, lunch was finally over and everyone was ready to leave. Seeing this, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen and took out the snack boxes she had prepared earlier in her own space. She put the boxes into the bamboo basket and brought it to the living room.

The children’s eyes lit up when they saw the beautiful boxes. Instead of dividing it herself, she asked Dong Huang to hand over the gift to the guests. Since she made 50 snack boxes, the adults also got a share. After everyone helped clean up, they left in a great mood while holding a beautiful snack box.

As for Chen Jianmin and his siblings, Li Chenmo decided to send them back instead of Dong Li. After adding the carts on both sides, he asked Chen Jianbai and Chen Jianyan to sit on the cart, while Chen Jianmin sat in the back seat. Before leaving, Lu Jueyu packed up the remaining dishes and gave them to Chen Jianmin.

Unlike in the modern era, where people find it rude to be given leftover food, people in this era were happy just to get extra food. So, when Chen Jianmin got the food, he thanked Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu repeatedly.

While everyone thought it was just food, Lu Jueyu added a little spiritual herb powder to the food. In this way, it will be helpful for Chen Jianmin’s recovery and increase the taste.

After Li Chenmo sent Chen Jianmin and his siblings back to the Chen family’s house, he did not leave and stayed to help with Grandpa Chen’s burial.

At the same time, in the military camp near the capital, Xiao Yiqing was cultivating a small piece of land under the house building. Every family who lived in the compound was given a small piece of land of twelve square meters, which could be used to grow some vegetables.

Because she is new here, she has no friends yet. Therefore, when her husband is training or going on missions, she can only pass the time by growing vegetables or reading books. Due to her weaker constitution, she needs more rest than other women when she plants vegetables.

Just after resting for a while, she heard a young woman chatting with another woman who was looking at her with a sneer, “At her speed, she won’t be able to finish plowing the plot in ten days.”

Xiao Yiqing didn’t know that they were talking about herself at first, but when she turned around, she found that the young woman was sneering at her. When she saw this scene, she frowned. She didn’t know what she had done to offend this person.

She recalled that soon after her husband invited his friends and some neighbors for the housewarming meal, this woman started picking on her. Although this woman didn’t do anything to hurt her, she liked to make sarcastic remarks and say bad things about her behind her back.

When she was trying to recall what she had done to offend that woman, she heard her say, “Oh, look at the scars on her arms. Tsk, tsk, tsk, just looking at her scars makes me feel sick. I don’t know how Comrade Mu can stand her. I guess he won’t touch her at all.”

When Xiao Yiqing heard this, she stood up and walked towards the woman. Seeing her coming over and looking at her with a frown, the woman quickly stood up and asked, “You… What do you want to do? I tell you, if you dare to hit me, I will scream and let everyone know how vicious you are!”
