Lu Jueyu happily praised her children, forgetting that both children had survived on their own before she adopted them. So, preparing a meal was a simple task for Dong Li and Dong Huang.
Happy to be praised by her mother, Dong Huang smiled and ran back to continue pulling out weeds, while Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo went to the backyard to wash up.
After washing her face, Lu Jueyu came over to help her children pull out the weeds, while her husband went to the pigpen to assist Lu Han and Lu Cheng.
Due to the spiritual energy contained in the fertilizer and water, some weeds grew alongside their vegetables. As a result, they still needed to pull them out occasionally.
While they were working, the Pan family finally returned. Seeing them, Lu Jueyu asked, "Aunt Pan, Uncle Pan, Second Aunt, you are back. Have you eaten?"
"We have eaten. While we were touring the village, we ran into Xiao Guan and had a meal with him at his friend’s uncle’s house," Mother Pan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lu Jueyu was surprised and said, "What a coincidence! I never expected that Comrade Xiao’s friend would have a relative in this village."
"Exactly! We didn’t expect to meet someone from the Xie family in this village either. If the people in the capital knew, they would regret not coming here," Second Aunt said with a hint of excitement and gloating in her voice.
Hearing this, a thought crossed Lu Jueyu’s mind. She looked at the Pan family and asked, "Second Aunt, is Comrade Xiao’s friend’s relative Doctor Xie?"
"Jueyu, how did you know?" Second Aunt asked her back.
"I heard from the villagers yesterday that someone who came with the brigade secretary has the same surname as Doctor Xie. From what you just said, I guessed he might be Comrade Xiao’s friend," Lu Jueyu explained with a smile.
Hearing her explanation, Mother Pan nodded and said, "It’s indeed Captain Xie."
Since this matter didn’t concern her directly, Lu Jueyu only smiled and said nothing more. She was just glad that she did not offend the old man and instead stood on his good side.
Although she has her own way and will be able to gain a foothold in the capital in the future, she does not want to offend others and gain powerful enemies.
After a moment of silence, she added, "Aunt Pan, we will have dinner in three hours. You, uncle, and the second aunt can take a rest first."
Mother Pan was a little tired, so she did not refuse her kindness and said, "Thank you, Jueyu. Then we will go back to the room first."
"Okay," Lu Jueyu nodded with a smile.
After a brief conversation, the Pan family returned to their room after a quick wash-up and took a nap.
