Upon hearing Song Li's words, Dong Huang opened her eyes wide in surprise and said, "Uncle, do I have so many brothers?"
"Yes, they are all your maternal cousins." Song Li smiled.
He felt that the more he looked at Dong Huang, the more he liked her. Indeed, girls are much cuter than boys.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Dong Li said, "Uncle, it's getting late, my sister and I should go back."
"Uncle, we caught a lot of fish today. This is for you, my aunt and my cousins," he added as he handed two fish over to Song Li.
Looking at the fish, Song Li hesitated for a mont and then took it. Since it is the child's kindness, it is not easy to refuse.
After taking the fish, he said, "When your aunt is making snacks in the future, uncle will send it to you and Xiao Huang."
"Thank you, uncle." Dong Huang said with a smile.
"Uncle, we will co to visit you another day. We will take our leave now," Dong Li said.
"Okay, be careful on the road." Song Li reminded them.
After they left, he went to the backyard to clean up the fish. Thinking that his youngest son's body had not yet recovered from his previous illness, Song Li was very grateful for this unexpected gift.
As soon as he finished cleaning the fish, his wife ca back from the mountain foothills.
Carrying a bamboo basket on her back, Zhao Ya walked up to her husband and said, "Husband, I picked so mushrooms and on my way back. We can have mushroom porridge for breakfast tomorrow."
Putting down the bamboo basket, she finally saw the fish and asked, "Husband, where did you get this fish? Did you go out fishing?"
Song Li put the fish into the earthen pot and said, "It was given by Dong Li. I just t the children when they returned from the river."
Zhao Ya looked at the fish and said, "These fish are so big. They are enough for several days of food. How can you accept the children's fish?"
"It's the child's good intention. It's alright for us to accept it. We will have many opportunities to repay the favor in the future," Song Li said.
Since her husband said so, Zhao Ya just nodded and said, "Then we should go visit your cousin after the sumr harvest."
"Mhmm, we can also bring the children over. They can get to know their cousins," Song Li nodded.
The sumr harvest starts tomorrow and the villagers go to bed early.
Before dawn the next day, the villagers woke up one after another, and so did Li Chenmo's family.
After lighting the fire, Lu Jueyu boiled a pot of water for her husband and children to wash up. Afterwards, she went to her own space to wash up, and then appeared in the kitchen again.
While the water was boiling, she picked up the eggs from the chicken coop and refilled the chicken feed and water. Later, she went to the pig pen to replenish pellet feed for Li Lingyun's pig farm.
When she ca back, Li Chenmo and Dong Li were already awake.
Lu Jueyu saw them and asked, "Husband, are you still going to the pig pen?"
"Mhmm," Li Chenmo nodded.
Looking at the dark sky, Lu Jueyu said, "Then I'm going to prepare breakfast first."
"Take your ti, I'm going to the pig pen first. We will have breakfast when I co back," Li Chenmo said as he leaned down to kiss his wife.
After washing up, Dong Li went to water the vegetable garden while Lu Jueyu prepared breakfast. As for Dong Huang, she doesn't have to work in the fields and can sleep a little longer.
When the sky was covered in orange hue, Li Chenmo had returned and Dong Huang also woke up. After breakfast, Dong Li followed her adoptive father to the fields while Dong Huang helped Lu Jueyu at ho. She will go to Feng Lin's house later.
The production team has already divided the teams and works. Therefore, there is no need to gather at the village hall anymore. When Li Chenmo and Dong Li walked to their designated workplace, they t other villagers.
The villagers only brought a bamboo bottle while Dong Li was carrying a bamboo basket, and Li Chenmo was carrying tools.
Seeing the bamboo basket, an old man asked, "Chenmo, haven't you and your son had breakfast yet?"
Another old woman heard this and added, "Aiyah, that won't do ah. Harvesting is a lot of work. You can't skip your breakfast, otherwise, you won't have the energy to work."
Hearing this, other villagers looked at Li Chenmo and Dong Li with pity. The daughters-in-law of other families get up at dawn, prepare breakfast and then go to work in the field.
But Li Chenmo could only work and eat at the sa ti. While this is possible, it's not good for digestion. This is what happened when he married a delicate woman who can't do any work.
Seeing the gloating looks of the villagers, Dong Li's eyes darkened and he said, "Grandma, you may have misunderstood. This is not breakfast for my father and . My mother prepared so snacks to cushion our stomach and water for us in case we are hungry before lunch."
"Unlike who sleeps until dawn, my mother gets up at two o'clock in the morning to prepare these snacks and breakfast," he added aningfully.
The villagers were shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect that a person who looked so delicate would get up so early and just cook for her family. As far as they knew, Lu Jueyu used to sleep until the sun rose and let his children and husband do all the housework.
Although they have never seen it themselves, many people have been talking about it. Therefore, even if the matter is not as serious as the rumors, there must be so truth to it.
