Seeing the soft and white buns, the four young men swallow their saliva instantly. They took the bowls and filled them with fish soup. They drank fish soup and ate a steamed bun with relish. Although Father Li told them to finish the food they did not dare to eat everything.
The four of them each took a steamed bun and divided the fish soup equally. After eating, they cleaned up the kitchen, washed the dishes, and then went back to their rooms.
At the same time, Li Chenmo was holding his wife’s soft hand and walking back to his home. He intertwined their fingers together, squeezing them every now and then.
Lu Jueyu let her husband do whatever he wanted and asked, "Husband, why do you use your second brother’s house as a mortgage? The price of food does not cost that much."
"My second brother always wants to take advantage of everyone. Between food and a house, he will definitely choose a house. So, we use his house as a mortgage and don’t have to worry about him not being willing to repay the debt." Li Chenmo rubbed his wife’s hand while speaking casually.
Lu Jueyu nodded after listening to his words. After understanding his intention, she had no objection. After returning home, they washed up and went to bed. Li Chenmo lay on the bed and said, "Wife, let’s go to the black market tomorrow to buy some food for my second brother."
"Why don’t we use the food in my space?" Lu Jueyu asked doubtfully.
"The food at your space is different from what is sold in state-owned supply stores. If the quantity is small, no one will notice. But my second brother asked for a lot of food. If we use the food in your space, someone may notice the difference. What’s more, your food tastes better and has health benefits. It’s safer to buy from the black market," said Li Chenmo.
Lu Jueyu nodded and said, "I didn’t think that far ahead, I was careless."
"It’s alright, you have me."
After hearing what her husband said, Lu Jueyu smiled and leaned into his embrace. "En, I have you."
Feeling safe, she slowly fell into a dreamless sleep. Hearing his wife’s long and gentle breathing, Li Chenmo turned to look at his wife. He came close to her, kissed her forehead, and said softly, "Good night, my dear wife."
He hugged her tighter, closed his eyes, and fell asleep with a smile on his face.
Li Chenmo woke up at two o’clock in the morning the next day. After washing up, he climbed onto the Kang bed, leaned over, and kissed his wife’s soft lips.
Feeling ticklish, Lu Jueyu’s eyelashes trembled and she slowly woke up. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of deep eyes looking at her affectionately with a hint of a smile. She blinked a few times and realized her lips were being gently bitten by her husband.
