Lu Jueyu nodded at her husband’s words and said, "Husband, don’t be angry. I will give you a makeover too."
Li Chenmo glanced at his wife and said, "No need."
"Why? Don’t you want to look handsome too?" Lu Jueyu asked curiously.
"If I’m too handsome, you will be angry when other women look at me."
Lu Jueyu was choked by her husband’s shameless words and glared at him. "Hmph! If those women dare to get close to you, I will hit them."
Li Chenmo felt better when he saw his wife was jealous and let out a chuckle.
When the two of them returned to their house, Lu Jueyu took her husband into her space. They took a bath and changed clothes. When they reappeared in their bedroom, they waited a while before heading to Father Li’s house.
Since she still had to cook later, Lu Jueyu wore a floral shirt and long pants, while Li Chenmo wore a dark shirt and long pants. Their clothes were new and presentable but allowed them to move freely.
Both of them left the house on their bicycle. Today, Li Chenmo had attached a cart to the bicycle so he could carry more items, while Lu Jueyu had already filled her cloth bag with fruit candies, gummies, and chewy mocha caramels.
Although the Li family had already sent the betrothal gifts to the Pan family in the capital, they still prepared additional gifts, including fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, two jars of tea, two bottles of wine, two bags of mixed nuts, a pair of chickens, a pair of fish, a pair of pig trotters, two pairs of leather shoes, and two sets of new clothes.
These gifts were meant for Father Lu and Mother Lu, as they were considered Pan Meijia’s elders. Moreover, during her stay in Xie Village, the Lu family had taken good care of her, and this was Li Lingyun’s way of expressing gratitude.
The gifts were organized by Lu Jueyu, but it was Li Lingyun who covered the costs. As a result, the items were of excellent quality but purchased at prices much lower than the market rate.
When they arrived at Father Li’s house, the guests were chatting and laughing in the yard. A pot of hot tea and an assortment of snacks on the table kept everyone content, especially those who had traveled from afar. The Li family’s hospitality was well received and praised.
Li Chenmo parked the bicycle near the well and checked his watch. It was 7:15 AM, and everyone was already waiting for them.
The Li family had chosen this day for the wedding because the auspicious time was significantly longer than on other good days. They had eight hours of auspicious timing, from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
Carrying her cloth bag, Lu Jueyu entered the house with her husband. As soon as they stepped into the living room, Aunt Su waved enthusiastically at them and exclaimed, "Aiya, Jueyu, Chenmo, both of you are finally here!"
