After hearing his wife's words, Li Chenze said, "Don't your aunt live far away?"
"She has been a widow for more than ten years and raised her children alone. But her children insisted on separating their household registrations and drove her away after they got married. She returned to my parents' house a few days ago. Although my parents could give her shelter, they couldn't feed her for a lifeti," Zhang Dongi explained with a sigh.
"So, how about we ask her for help? We can give her food or money. That way, she can support herself and not be ashad of living with my parents," she asked.
Li Chenze thought for a while and said, "Then let's do as you say."
After reaching an agreent, Li Chenze went to heat the stead buns and locked the door. He took so stead buns back to his room and had dinner with his wife.
Early the next morning, Lu Jueyu was collecting vegetables when she heard a knock on the gate.
Her children went to school and her husband went to the mountains with his brothers. So, she was at ho alone.
"Who is it?" she asked.
"Jueyu, it's , Aunt Lin."
When she heard it was Aunt Lin, she opened the door and said, "Aunt Lin, what brings you here so early? Please co in."
"Jueyu ah, I'm sorry for disturbing you so early." Aunt Lin said as she walked into the front yard.
After closing the door, Lu Jueyu said with a smile, "Aunt Lin, you didn't disturb . I'm just harvesting so vegetables."
After the two sat down in the living room, Lu Jueyu poured a cup of hot soy milk for Aunt Lin and asked, "Aunt Lin, is there anything I can do for you?"
Aunt Lin took a sip of soy milk and said, "Jueyu, I heard Ah Li said that you have obtained the ingredients. Can I have 50 kilograms of coarse grains and 20 kilograms of corn flour?"
"Aunt Lin, my husband and I have indeed bought the ingredients and stored them in the underground warehouse. But why do you suddenly need so much food?" She asked curiously.
Aunt Lin approached her and explained in a low voice, "Yesterday, Sister Su and I visited Uncle Chen Hui and asked him to help us borrow the village hall. He hinted that if we gave him so benefits, he agreed to help."
"Didn't we already give him so at, eggs and vegetables?" Lu Jueyu asked.
"Well, his family seed to be in a difficult situation. So, I took the initiative to offer so food to him," Aunt Lin added.
After she finished her words, she glanced at Lu Jueyu. She was worried that there were not many ingredients and she would not be able to get the food promised to Chen Hui.
At this ti, she felt that it was too reckless for her to agree to give Chen Hui the food without consulting Lu Jueyu.
Lu Jueyu thought for a while and said, "If we change the dishes, we can still take out that amount of food for him."
Hearing what she said, Aunt Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Jueyu, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Lu Jueyu smiled and said to her, "Aunt Lin, why are you saying sorry? You are helping Brother Li."
"Aunt Lin, I will ask my husband to deliver the food to the Chen family's house later." She added.
"Then I will trouble you." Aunt Lin said with a smile.
"It's no trouble."
Aunt Lin finished drinking the soy milk, discussed Xiao Li's wedding preparations with her for a while, and left.
Not long after, Li Chenmo ca back from Li Lingyun's house and said, "Wife, the second brother gave us at."
Seeing her husband carrying a sack, Lu Jueyu followed him to the backyard and said, "Husband, Aunt Lin ca just now and asked for fifty kilograms of coarse grains and twenty kilograms of corn flour."
Placing the sack next to the small pond, Li Chenmo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why is it so sudden?"
"Yesterday, she and Aunt Su went to Grandpa Chen Hui's house to borrow the village hall. He asked for so benefits, and she had no choice but to agree. Husband, can you help deliver the food later?" Lu Jueyu explained.
After taking out all the at from the bag, Li Chenmo said, "Then I'd better deliver it while the villagers are busy."
"Then I will prepare the food now." Lu Jueyu said.
Ten minutes later, Li Chenmo rode a bicycle to Chen Hui's house, while Lu Jueyu went to pack the at and store it at her place.
After splitting their household registration, Chen Hui's family moved to another house in the east suburb of the village. Although it is far away from the village, the houses there are larger than those in the village. That way, his family would have plenty of space to share and no longer have to cram so many people into one room.
After riding for fifteen minutes, Li Chenmo finally arrived at Chen Hui's house. Because the door was unlocked, he pushed his bicycle in and stopped by the well.
As soon as he untied the sack on the back seat, Chen Kai walked out of the house. Seeing him, he was surprised and said, "Nephew Li, what brought you here so early in the morning?"
Li Chenmo put the sacks on his shoulders and said, "Uncle Chen Kai, good morning. My wife asked to bring so grain and flour to Grandpa Chen Hui. Where should I put this?"
Thinking of his father's agreent yesterday, he quickly said, "Please co with ."
Chen Kai led him to the warehouse in the backyard and said, "Nephew Li, just put it there."
When Li Chenmo entered the warehouse, he was startled by the empty condition of the warehouse. There was nothing inside, just a piece of bacon hanging by the window.
