Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 672

Chapter 672: Cherished Book
Seeing that Chen Xiang and Yi Jiao agreed, Xiao Li said, “Sister-in-law, you can take your time and come over when you are done. I will clean the eels and grill them. I just learned some new recipes, and now is a good time to try them.”

“Then we will come over in half an hour.” Yijiao said.

“Okay.”

After a brief conversation, Xiao Li went to clean the eel and grill it while Chen Xiang and his family went inside their house.

He just learned a new recipe from Lu Jueyu and wanted to try it today. Half of the eel will be grilled and the rest will be stewed. This way, they can have refreshing soup and delicious grilled eel for lunch.

Not long after, Liu Hua came over carrying a bamboo basket. Yesterday, Lu Jueyu gave her a pound of pole beans, a pound of carrots, three cucumbers, and a pound of eggplant.

It was rare to have fresh vegetables, so she stir-fried pole beans and roasted half of the eggplant. She brought a third of the dish to her fiancé and left the rest for her family.

Like other houses in Xie Village, Xiao Li’s house is surrounded by bamboo fences and not locked. So, Liu Hua pushed open the bamboo door and entered the house. As she walked into the house, she discovered that the empty house next door now had an owner.

She walked to the backyard and saw her fiancé cleaning a basin of eels. Seeing him cleaning the eels seriously, Liu Hua smiled and said, “Ah Li, did you go to the swamp again?”

Hearing her voice, Xiao Li turned to look at his fiancée and said, “Ah Hua, you came at the right time. I caught two baskets of eels. I will bring a basket back to your parents later.”

Seeing the bamboo basket in her hand, he asked, “Ah Hua, didn’t I tell you not to bring food to me? What if your parents scold you for this?”

Knowing that he was worried that her parents would blame her for often bringing him meals, Liu Hua walked over, sat on the low stool next to him, and said, “They won’t blame me. Yesterday, Jueyu brought a lot of vegetables. I made some today, only bringing you a third of the dish.”

“Also, you sent a lot of meat, fish, and grains to my family. Even if I bring you meals, they can’t say anything. I’m using the ingredients you provided. Is there anything wrong with sending some to you?” she added.

After hearing her words, Xiao Li could only smile and say, “These foods are for you and your parents. I have food at home. Now that I have a side job, I can let you eat meat and live a better life.”

Liu Hua knew that her fiancé was working with the Li brothers. Although she has no idea what they are doing, she trusts her man. Therefore, no matter what he does, she will support him and never ask about his so-called ‘side job’.

“I know, my man is the best!” she said, getting close to him and kissing his cheek.

Being kissed by the woman he loved, Xiao Li’s heart beat wildly and he looked at her with wide eyes. It was the first time she kissed him after that night. So, he felt like he was dreaming.

Liu Hua looked at the way he was stunned after just one kiss, and laughed loudly, “Ah Li, how are you stunned just after one kiss. I can’t imagine what will happen to you on our wedding night.”

Xiao Li was not angry when she teased him. Instead, he smiled and said, “Then I will learn it before the wedding night. I can ask Brother Chenze or Brother Chenmo.”

Shaking her head, Liu Hua looked at him with a mischievous light in her eyes, and said meaningfully, “Ah Li, I can give you a book. As long as you master the skills written in the book, you don’t need to ask anyone about the bedroom matters anymore.”

“Ah Hua, where did you get the book?” Xiao Li asked with a frown.

“It’s Ah Xiao’s treasure. She cherishes this book very much and only lends it to her closest friends. If you are not interested, then we can forget it.” Liu Hua said nonchalantly.

After hearing what his fiancée said, Xiao Li became curious. He didn’t know what kind of book it was that Wang Muxiao cherished so much. After thinking about it, he said, “Since she cherishes it so much, then this book must be very valuable.”

“Of course, you don’t know how much effort and time it took her to get this book.” Liu Hua said mysteriously.

“Then should we borrow it?” he asked uncertainly.

Liu Hua looked at him while feeling her stomach was in pain due to holding back her laugh, and said, “If you are interested, we should.”

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Li finally said, “Then let’s borrow it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Hua stood up and walked to the kitchen while saying, “I will borrow it after lunch.”

Xiao Li looked at her back in confusion, “Ah? Okay.”

As soon as she entered the kitchen, Liu Hua burst out laughing, which shocked Xiao Li. Although he didn’t know why his fiancée suddenly laughed like this, he didn’t ask and continued to clean the eels with a smile. As long as she is happy, he is happy.

At the same time, Chen Xiang was helping his wife move their ingredients to the kitchen, while his eldest son was taking care of his younger sisters as they played together in the bedroom.

After placing a large jar of pickles in the corner of the kitchen, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “Wife, we should refuse Brother Xiao’s kindness. After all, we are not close to each other, and eels are rare. What to do if we leave a bad impression?”
