Han Liling took a piece of scallion pancake and took a bite, thinking how great it would be if her uncle could marry Lu Jueyu back then. If that were the case, she would have an aunt who loved her and took care of her. Then she could live with her uncle and aunt.
It's a pity that her uncle is a piece of wood. He passed up a good opportunity and let another man get the girl. But compared with Li Chenmo, her uncle was indeed lacking. Not to ntion that he doesn't know other won's intentions towards him, he's too nice to them, making them think he likes them. This alone has already deduced lots of his points in the Lu family's eyes.
Thinking of this, she let out a long sigh and looked out the window thoughtfully. If it weren't for her chewing food like a hamster, one might think she was a mature woman.
Doctor Yu looked at her and thought she was too mature for her age. What kind of family environnt made her mature so early?
After leaving the county hospital, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo did not return to Xie Village, but went to the town to look for Houzi. When they arrived at the black market, there were only a few people in the deserted alley, walking with wary eyes.
As usual, they walked to a desolate corner, entered the space, changed their clothes, and put their bicycle and bamboo baskets inside. Later, when they ca out, both of them wore bamboo hats, covering half of their faces, making it difficult for others to see their faces clearly.
Since there were few people, it didn't take long for them to reach Houzi's place. After knocking on the door, they heard Ding Ran's voice coming from inside, "Who is it?"
"It's ." Li Chenmo said.
Hearing a familiar voice, Ding Ran opened the door and whispered, "Brother, sister-in-law, please co in."
He was afraid to call them by their surnas for fear that soone would overhear and report them to the authorities.
After entering the house, Ding Ran closed and locked the door, led them in, and said, "Brother Li, sister-in-law, why are you here today?"
"We ca to find Houzi to buy things. Is he here today?" Li Chenmo said.
Ding Ran nodded and said, "Brother Houzi just ca back from the custor's house. He is inside."
Entering the back room, Lu Jueyu observed Ding Ran and asked, "Brother Ding, how is your injury now?"
Hearing her question, Ding Ran smiled and said, "Thanks to brother Li and sister-in-law, my injury has recovered very well. I have basically recovered now."
"It's good to hear that." Lu Jueyu nodded.
Not long after, they arrived in the back room and saw Houzi and Ding Sha recording sales while Bajie was counting money. In addition to the money on the table, there are several boxes of jade and gold next to it.
Seeing them coming, Houzi asked in surprise, "Brother Li, sister-in-law, what brings both of you here today? Do you need my help with anything?"
Li Chenmo regarded this place as his own, pulled out a chair for his wife to sit down, and sat next to her. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said, "Brother Houzi, I need you to help check the prices of these things."
Houzi took the note, looked at it, and asked, "Brother Li, do you want to buy another bicycle?"
"This is not for , but for my friend. Do you have a bicycle available now?" Li Chenmo asked.
Houzi thought for a while and said, "There will be goods from the city tomorrow. This batch will contain most of the items on this list. Brother Li, I will give you the price list when Bajie picks the goods tomorrow."
Li Chenmo nodded and said, "I believe you will not give an unreasonable price. If there are items on the list, please help keep one."
After hearing what her husband said, Lu Jueyu added, "Brother Houzi, you can deduct the money directly from the sales."
Houzi folded the list of items, put it in his pocket, and said, "I understand. Brother Li, sister-in-law, is there anything else you need my help with?"
"It's just this matter, thank you in advance, Brother Houzi. We will take our leave first." Li Chenmo said.
After a brief conversation, they left Houzi's place, went to a secluded corner, changed their clothes, and took out the bicycle. When the sun set in the west, the two returned to Xie village.
At the sa ti, at Li Chenze's house, Dong Li was helping Li Chenze repair the fence, while Dong Huang was helping Zhang Dongi wash vegetables that would be made into pickles.
Li Jingqian and Li Jingxu were doing howork on the balcony. When they encounter problems that cannot be solved, they will ask Dong Li for advice.
Seeing that the children were getting along well, Zhang Dongi smiled and said, "Xiao Huang, co to your aunt's house to play more often if you have ti."
Dong Huang nodded and said, "Okay. Xiao Huang will pick so mushrooms for Auntie, Uncle, and my cousins when I co next ti. There are many delicious mushrooms in the foothills. My mother made so fried mushrooms for snacks before, which were delicious."
Zhang Dongi was stunned when she heard her calling Lu Jueyu her mother. But her surprise was only for a mont. Dong Huang is still young, so it is normal for her to long for maternal love. What's more, Lu Jueyu treated her sincerely and cared about her.
"Xiao Huang, do you like your foster mother and foster father?" she asked.
Dong Huang nodded and said with a smile, "Yes! Xiao Huang likes my parents the most, second only to my brother!"
Zhang Dongi was amused by her words and said with a smile, "Then Xiao Huang must study hard and be filial to your adoptive parents, okay?"
Dong Huang nodded and said, "Yes! Xiao Huang will listen to my aunt's teachings."
