At the same time, Lu Jueyu has found her husband. Now that she already knew where he was assigned, she didn’t need to take a detour to find him. Seeing that he was already resting under the tree, she walked over and said, "Husband, have you been waiting for a long time?"
Li Chenmo opened his eyes and saw his wife walking over carrying a three-layer bamboo basket. He stood up, took the bamboo basket, and said, "Not long ago, I was taking a nap."
"I will come early tomorrow." Lu Jueyu said with a hint of guilt.
"Take your time, there’s no need to rush." Li Chenmo said with a smile and patted her head.
His meaning was very clear, there was no need to blame herself for such a trivial matter. After covering the ground with cloth, Lu Jueyu placed the bamboo basket on the ground. She did not take out the food from the bamboo layer, so others could not see what she had brought.
She handed a bamboo tube filled with bone soup to her husband and said, "Husband, drink some soup first."
Li Chenmo nodded and took a sip of soup. The flavor was strong but not greasy. He drank a few more sips before taking a steamed bun and eating it. The steamed bun was as big as his fist, but he only took a few bites and finished it.
He picked up the stir-fried vegetables with chopsticks and tasted them. The vegetables were fresh and had a hint of sweetness. The texture is crunchy and the seasoning is light. While eating, Lu Jueyu filled her husband’s thermos with water she brought. After that, she took out the banana cake wrapped in banana leaves from the basket and put it into Li Chenmo’s bamboo basket.
Seeing the banana leaves, Li Chenmo asked, "Wife, what did you bring for me?"
"I made some banana cake. Husband, you can eat some to fill your stomach later." Lu Jueyu said and took a steamed bun.
They chatted while eating. After lunch, Lu Jueyu packed up her things and said, "Husband, you should take a nap first. I will send some water and banana cake to our parents and brothers."
"Alright, be careful on the road." Li Chenmo nodded and squeezed her hand for a moment before reluctantly letting her go.
After she left, several villagers came to sit with him. Seeing them coming, Li Chenmo nodded to them and closed his eyes to rest. The villagers were disappointed to see him taking a nap and had no intention to chat.
They came because they were curious. They wanted to see what Lu Jueyu had brought for him, wrapped in banana leaves. It looked like food, but they had just had lunch, so why did she give him another portion of food?
Unfortunately, no matter how curious they were, Li Chenmo had no intention of talking to them and continued to sleep.
After delivering lunch to her husband, Lu Jueyu went to find her parents. Father Li and her parents were assigned to the east area. It didn’t take long before she arrived in the east farmland. They were still on their lunch break when she arrived. She saw her parents chatting with Father Li while they were resting.
When she walked to them, Lu Jueyu covered her hands with the bamboo basket and filled the kettle with water from the space. When she reached their location, the kettle had been refilled.
