The next morning before dawn, Lu Jueyu woke up. When she opened her eyes, she felt Li Chenmo’s arms around her waist and shoulders. She kissed him lightly on his chin, then moved his arm away. After leaving the room, she went to the bathroom before entering her own space.
After taking a hot shower, she went to the warehouse to pick up some ingredients, and then left the space. Lu Jueyu put the ingredients in the kitchen, and she went to check the chicken coop. The old hen laid five more eggs today. She put the eggs in her space, filled the feeder and water bowl, and went to the front yard to water the peach tree.
When she was done, Lu Jueyu watered the fields in the front and back yards. In the past few days, Pan Meijia and she have made a lot of mulch from the bamboo leaves. They use it to cover the front and back yards, including the peach trees. When the spring arrives, she can start planting vegetables in the yard.
For breakfast today, she prepared some vegetable porridge, scallion pancakes and soy milk. While she was cooking porridge on the brazier, she boiled a pot of water for Li Chenmo and kneaded the dough for the scallion pancake. When it was done, she set it aside to let it ferment, then started making the hand pull noodles.
This type of noodles only requires flour, salt, water and oil to coat the dough. Although this was her first time doing it in this lifetime, her movements were smooth because she often made it in her previous life. She made more noodles for New Year’s Eve dinner.
After the noodles were ready, she kneaded the scallion pancake dough for a while, and then began to cut the dough and put the filling. After making breakfast, she drank half a bowl of porridge and her medicine.
Li Chenmo woke up amidst the crow of roosters and found that his wife had already woken up. He blinked a few times in a daze before getting up. Putting on his cotton-padded jacket, he walked to the kitchen. As he expected, his wife had already prepared breakfast and boiled a pot of hot water for him.
He walked over, leaned over and kissed Lu Jueyu on the forehead, saying, "Good morning, Wife."
Being accustomed to his morning and goodnight kisses, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "Good morning, Husband. Go wash up and let’s have breakfast together."
"Mhmm." Because he had just woken up, his voice was hoarse and deeper than usual which pulled Lu Jueyu’s heart strings.
Lu Jueyu smiled and brought breakfast to their room. Not long after, Li Chenmo came back, and the two had breakfast together.
