Lu Jueyu stared at her husband for a moment before she smiled and said, "Husband, I also never regret marrying you!"
Noticing her good mood, Li Chenmo chuckled and continued washing the dishes.
After his wife became pregnant, it became increasingly difficult for him to understand her mood. Perhaps because of her mood swings, she seems a little insecure recently.
’I should pay more attention to her mood and give her more sense of security,’ he reminded himself inwardly.
When he was done, the two of them went to the kitchen before entering Lu Jueyu’s space. Inside, Lu Jueyu instructed her husband while he prepared the ingredients for fish soup.
Fish soup was nutritious and could help boost breast milk production, so they decided to make a pot of fish soup with ginseng and a little bit of ginger for Wang Muxiao.
In addition to the fish soup, Lu Jueyu took out two loaves of whole wheat bread, a pack of dried sweet potatoes, boiled eggs, two blocks of silken tofu, and two liters of milk from the warehouse.
She added some spiritual herb powder to the milk and fish soup, sprinkling a bit on the dried sweet potatoes as well. This would not only keep the food and milk fresh for longer but also nourish Wang Muxiao’s body and improve the babies’ immune systems.
Once they were done, both of them took a shower before leaving her space. Reappearing in the kitchen, they packed the soup, milk, and other food into a bamboo basket, covering it with a tea cloth and securing it with hemp rope.
After locking the doors, the two of them finally left the house. Since Lu Cheng had borrowed the bicycle, they had no choice but to walk to the Lu family’s house.
Carrying the bamboo basket on his back, Li Chenmo held his wife’s arm as they walked. When they entered the village area, the villagers sitting under a tree noticed them.
One of them waved and said, "Jueyu, ah, it’s been a while since we saw you. How have you been?"
Noticing their intimate behavior, a young woman asked meaningfully, "Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell again?"
The villagers, hearing this, also noticed how Li Chenmo was supporting his wife. It wasn’t a secret that Lu Jueyu was frail, so it wasn’t surprising if she fell ill from time to time.
Hearing their inquiries, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I’m fine."
Looking at her milky skin, which appeared pale under the sunlight, no one believed her. However, the older woman noticed the slight blush on her cheeks and the subtle changes in her figure.
Despite her fair complexion, she was clearly well-nourished and exuded a healthy, joyful aura. Only a blind person would think she was unwell.
"Sister-in-law, if you are not feeling well, you should stay home. It’s not easy for my brother-in-law to take care of the children and work in the fields. If you continue to make a fuss with your frail health, my brother-in-law will only get more exhausted from taking care of you," the young woman said with a sigh.
Everyone understood the hidden meaning behind her words and covered their mouths to hide their smiles.
