Placing the basket of eggs on the kitchen table, Li Chenmo hugged his wife from behind and said, "As long as you are happy, I will listen to you."
"You only know how to coax me," Lu Jueyu said, rolling her eyes.
"Husband, watch the fire for me. I’m going to change the chickens," she added.
"Okay."
Lu Jueyu went to the chicken coop, opened the door, and moved the old hens into her space, letting them roam freely in the grassland area. At the same time, she replaced them with two hens from her space.
These hens, bought at a discount from the space store, laid only one egg daily, but the quality was far superior to any eggs produced by hens outside.
She also replaced the water, giving the hens mountain spring water instead of the space’s lake water. For feed, she continued using the premium feed produced in the space to maintain the quality of their eggs.
By the time she finished, the children were waking up one by one. The family followed their usual morning routine and had breakfast with the Pan family.
Since it was Sunday and there was no school, Dong Li and Dong Huang went to play with their cousins after breakfast.
Meanwhile, Lu Jueyu prepared enough ingredients in the kitchen for Mother Pan to cook lunch. After ensuring everything was ready, she went to find Mother Pan in the front yard.
Seeing her washing clothes by the well, Lu Jueyu walked over and said, "Aunt Pan, my husband and I will go to the mountain and might not return before dinner. The children are playing with their cousins, so you don’t need to prepare their food. I have left enough ingredients in the kitchen for lunch."
Hearing this, Mother Pan quickly replied, "Jueyu, there is no need to prepare ingredients. We can just go to town and eat at the state-owned restaurant."
Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "Aunt Pan, these ingredients were grown by my family, so they didn’t cost anything. Plus, going to town takes hours. You would have less time to spend with my second sister-in-law before you return to the capital."
"Instead of wasting time on the road, why not cook at home? It’s cheaper, tastes better, and I’m sure my second sister-in-law prefers your cooking than the chef at the restaurant."
Hearing her reasoning, Mother Pan finally agreed and said with a smile, "Thank you, Jueyu."
"Aunt Pan, we are family now. It’s the least I can do," Lu Jueyu said with a smile.
