Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1355

Since his master's wife had said so, Chen Jianmin no longer refused, or it would be ungrateful of him. So, he nodded and said, "Thank you, Aunt Li. Thank you, Uncle Li."

Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "Jianmin, help me carry these things."

Hearing how casual she was when ordering him, Chen Jianmin felt that their relationship was closer than before. Between families, they never treated each other politely. So, he preferred this casual treatment.

While waiting for Liu Hua and Liu Piao, Lu Jueyu taught Dong Li and Chen Jianmin about the difference in cutting skills and knives' purposes. Afterward, she let them prepare the ingredients for today's dishes.

For today's dishes, Lu Jueyu chose simple dishes for beginners. While they were simple and took less time to prepare, the taste was delicious, and the dishes were good enough for a wedding banquet.

For the meat dishes, she chose lotus root pork soup and squirrel mandarin fish. There was a lotus pond in the mountains that she could use to explain the source of her ingredients.

For the other dishes, she chose vegetable and mushroom pot stickers, spinach-almond salad, deep-fried chicken spring rolls, braised eggplants, and lionhead meatballs. As for the staple, she chose egg fried rice.

When they were almost done preparing the ingredients, they heard the sound of bells echoing throughout the house.

Lu Jueyu looked at her son and said, "It must be your Aunt Liu. Mother will open the door first."

Dong Li nodded and replied, "Okay."

Outside the house, Zhang Ermu helped his mother down from the bullock cart and asked, "Mother, are you alright?"

Mother Zhang patted her son's arm and said, "Mother is fine."

Then, she looked at the beautiful gate and said with a sigh, "Back then, the Li family and our family had a close relationship. If we look back to the past generations, your great-great-grandpa's aunt married the Li family's heir."

Zhang Ermu smiled when he heard this and said, "Mother, that's a matter of the ancestors. After so many generations, the marital relationship is already too distant to be counted."

Hearing her son's words, Mother Zhang nodded and replied, "It's indeed no longer counted as a marital relationship. It's good to see that our two families are still friends, even if we are no longer family."

"The Li family's members are always known for their generosity, righteousness, bravery, and loyalty. We have received a lot of their help, and you should never forget their kindness."

"Mother, I understand," Zhang Ermu said.

As his mother got older and fell in the mountains, she was no longer as sharp-minded as before. She thought more about the past and spent her days staying in the house.

It was rare for her to be willing to come out, so Zhang Ermu listened to her endless chattering with a smile.

Not long after, the gate was opened, and Lu Jueyu greeted them with a smile, "Sister Liu Hua, Sister Liu Piao, you are here."
