Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 769

Chapter 769: Wedding Banquet ( 2 )
While everyone looked at the soup and bread in confusion, the bride and groom were enjoying their meal. Both of them were hungry since they couldn’t eat much in the morning.

After waiting for a while, everyone found that there was no other food being served. So, they started eating with various expressions. No one cared at all about the piece of paper in the middle of the table so they didn’t know that there were other dishes in the kitchen.

Not long after, they saw the aunts and young girls coming back carrying jars filled with colored water. Each table was served with a jar of fruit wine and a jar of fruit juice. Wine is for adults and juice is for children.

When the soup and bread were almost finished, they saw the helpers were coming back with a large bowl of noodles and a pot of soup.

Everyone was brimming with smiles when they saw the noodles and herbal chicken soup. Although there was only half of a chicken for ten people, the soup was filled with medicinal herbs. So everyone was surprised to see such sumptuous dishes.

Not long after, the helpers come out with more dishes. When they left the hall, the guests finally saw the dishes in full display. In addition to noodles and herbal chicken soup, there were also corn and vegetables with some sauce, braised pork, and a plate of Mapo tofu, which is very appetizing.

Thinking the guests thought that all the dishes were served, the helpers came back with a basket of rice. When they put the steamed rice on the table, everyone found that the rice was very fragrant and different from ordinary white rice.

Li Chenmo sat at the table in the corner and stretched his neck towards the door. Not seeing his wife, he frowned and stood up. Under the Li family members’ gaze, he left the hall and went to the kitchen.

When he arrived, he saw that his wife’s clothes were soaked with sweat as she sat outside the kitchen which made him feel very distressed.

Ignoring the countless pairs of eyes staring at him, he walked to his wife and called her, “Wife.”

Hearing her husband’s voice, Lu Jueyu was stunned and asked, “Husband, why are you here?”

Li Chenmo took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his wife’s sweat, and said, “I’m waiting for you in the hall. But you didn’t come, so I came to find you.”

When everyone heard this, they glanced at them with a knowing smile and walked quickly to the hall. Unlike other wedding banquets where the helpers ate in the kitchen, Lu Jueyu prepared three tables for them in the hall so that they could have a good rest and enjoy the banquet with others.

After everyone left, Li Chenmo asked in a low voice, “Wife, how about we go to your space first? You can take a shower and rest first before we go to the hall.”

“Okay,” Lu Jueyu nodded.

Since everyone was in the hall, no one saw the two disappear in the blink of an eye. In the space, Lu Jueyu took a hot bath and stayed in it for thirty minutes before coming out.

Looking at his exhausted wife, Li Chenmo dried her hair and then massaged her shoulders, arms, and legs gently.

The massage felt very comfortable, and Lu Jueyu fell asleep soon after. Seeing that his wife was asleep, Li Chenmo lay down and pulled her into his arms.

They slept for five hours before leaving the space. When they reappeared in the kitchen of the village hall, Lu Jueyu was in a much better condition.

When the two of them sat at the Li family’s table, Father Li said, “Third daughter-in-law, your cooking skills have improved again. These dishes are very delicious.”

“Thank you for the compliment, Father. If you like it, I will make it more often for you in the future,” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

Father Li laughed and said, “Then I will wait for it,”

Everyone had a great time thanks to the delicious food and wine including the villagers who came uninvited. As the host, the Liu family went to help Zhang Dongmei’s aunts distribute potato and leek soup and roasted bread when they finished their meal.

Although the soup and bread were not as good as other dishes at the banquet, the villagers were also satisfied because the portions were not small. A bowl of soup and two loaves of bread per person is equivalent to a meal.

After getting the shares, the villagers returned home with smiles on their faces and praised the Liu family and Xiao Li endlessly.

An hour later, most of the dishes were eaten. Seeing this, the helpers went to the kitchen and brought a plate of fruit slices to each table, making everyone even more impressed by the host. Even after eating the food and fruits, no one wanted to leave and stay to chat.

It was rare for relatives to come from afar. So, Father Liu and Mother Liu were very happy to hear them praising how good Xiao Li was.

Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo felt a little tired and took their children home first. It wasn’t until the sunset that everyone finally returned to their homes.

As the host, the Liu family, Li family, and Lu family stayed to clean the village hall. They only return to their houses when the sky gets dark.

At the same time, Xiao Li had just boiled water for his wife to wash. When he walked into the bedroom with a basin of hot water, he saw his wife sitting in front of the mirror removing her makeup.

Seeing her wiping her face with a wet cotton pad, Xiao Li said, “Ah Hua, I boiled some water for you to wash.”

Liu Hua used the facial cleanser given by Lu Jueyu to remove her makeup and said, “Thank you, Ah Li. You should go change your clothes and wash up first.”
