Since it was still early for lunch, Chen Jianmin stayed behind to help Li Shu take care of the herb garden. When Doctor Xie saw this, he didn't say anything more and went to check his dried dicinal materials in the backyard.
anwhile at the foot of the mountain, Li Chenmo was picking honeycombs, and Lu Jueyu was picking mushrooms.
Since it was very close to their ho, the two only brought bamboo baskets and shovels to pick mushrooms.
After Li Chenmo finished collecting the honeycombs, he walked to his wife and said, "Wife, I'm done. Should we go back now?"
Lu Jueyu wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at the almost full bamboo basket, and said, "Okay."
Li Chenmo carried the bamboo baskets and said, "Wife, we have to get up early tomorrow. In order to avoid the sun and complete more work, the team leader asked everyone to start working at 5 a.m."
Hearing this, Lu Jueyu said, "So early? Husband, I will prepare so fruit and water for you. If you are tired, eat so fruit to restore your strength when you work."
Li Chenmo smiled when he heard his wife's words and nodded, "Okay."
When they went back, he said, "Wife, I heard from my second brother that he will propose after the sumr harvest. We may need to go with him later to the capital."
"I didn't expect them to decide on this matter so quickly," Lu Jueyu said with surprise.
Recalling his experience in pursuing his wife, Li Chenmo sighed and said, "My second brother is thick-skinned, so he got his wife so quickly."
After hearing what her husband said, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "Husband, do you think you are not as thick-skinned as your second brother?"
Li Chenmo raised his eyebrows and asked his wife, "Do you think your husband is thick-skinned?"
"I think you and your second brother are both thick-skinned," Lu Jueyu said with a smile.
Li Chenmo was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he smiled at his wife. If he is not thick-skinned, how can he marry his wife?
As they spoke, they arrived at their ho. Not long after they returned, there was a knock on the front door. Since her husband went to visit his father, Lu Jueyu went to open the door.
"Who is it?"
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Aunt Li outside.
Stepping aside, Lu Jueyu said as she gestured her to enter, "Aunt Li, what brings you here? Please co in."
Seeing this, Aunt Li nodded to her and said, "Jueyu, I'm sorry for the sudden visit."
After the two sat down in the living room, Lu Jueyu poured a cup of tea for Aunt Li and asked, "Aunt Li, what's the matter?"
Aunt Li took a sip of tea, hesitated for a long ti, and finally said, "Jueyu, I want to apologize for my words."
Lu Jueyu asked doubtfully, "Aunt Li, what are you apologizing for?"
"On the day you ca to my house, I said rude words to you. I have been thinking about what you said that day," Aunt Li said.
Hearing this, Lu Jueyu was silent for a mont and said, "Aunt Li, I also apologize to you. I shouldn't have interfered in your family affairs. But I will not apologize for what I said. I still feel that you are not treating Li Shu fairly."
"I understand. I want to thank you for telling those words. Although I can't accept Da Niu, I won't stop Shitou from eting her anymore," Aunt Li sighed.
Lu Jueyu glanced at Aunt Li and said, "Aunt Li, you don't need to thank . I just feel sorry for the children."
After she finished speaking, both of them were silent. At this mont, Aunt Li already knew that their neighborly relationship could no longer be what it was before.
She knew she was very busy now, so she didn't stay long and said, "Then I won't disturb you any longer."
Lu Jueyu nodded and sent Aunt Li away. Standing at the door, she sighed. It is difficult for outsiders to understand Aunt Li's mood.
However, she still hopes she can change her mind. Even if she couldn't treat Li Shu like before, she should at least give her son so face and not embarrass Li Shu.
The sun was setting in the west when Dong Li, Dong Huang, and Feng Lin finally returned from the river.
Before going ho, they sent Feng Lin back first. As they walked ho, they saw a middle-aged man plowing in the front yard.
The house had long been vacant, so this man must have just moved into the house.
Just when Dong Li was observing him, Song Li felt the gaze and turned around. Seeing them, he smiled and walked over.
Seeing him coming, Dong Li pulled her sister behind her and looked at Song Li with squinted eyes.
Song Li realized that the children might not recognize him, so he stood two ters away from them and said, "Are you Dong Li and Dong Huang?"
Hearing this, Dong Huang looked at him and asked, "Uncle, how do you know our nas?"
Song Li smiled at her and said, "Your mother and I are maternal cousins. I am your uncle."
Upon hearing this, Dong Huang glanced at him and said, "But you look different from my mother."
"Because we are maternal cousins, we don't look much alike," Song Li explained.
Although Song Li doesn't look like Lu Jueyu, he is sowhat similar to Mother Lu. So, Dong Li observed him for a while, discovered his similarities, and greeted him, "Hello, Uncle."
Song Li nodded towards him and said, "Uncle has just moved into this house. When everything settles down, co and play with your cousin."
"Uncle, do we have cousins?" Dong Huang asked.
Song Li nodded and said, "You have nine cousins in total. Your eldest uncle has three sons, your second uncle has four sons, and I have two sons."
