While Lu Jueyu’s thoughts were wandering, Li Chenmo had already finished showering and saw his wife deep in thought. She didn’t even notice that the soup was about to overflow the pot.
He quickened his pace, turned off the stove, and asked, "Wife, what are you thinking about?"
Hearing her husband’s voice, Lu Jueyu came back to her senses and said, "It’s nothing, I’m just a little tired. Husband, I’m going to wash up first."
Li Chenmo saw the red tips of his wife’s ears and raised his eyebrows, "Mhmm."
When he was alone, he put the dishes in the dishwasher and cleaned the kitchen. He then went to do their laundry, including that of their foster child. It’s easy since he uses a washing machine. Then, they just need to take the clothes out of the space and put them in the sun to dry.
While waiting for his wife, he went to the living room to read. When Lu Jueyu came out, he saw that her husband was concentrating on reading and did not notice her at all. She picked up a book and sat next to her husband. After that, she snuggled into his arms, finding a comfortable position, and began to read.
Although the two of them did not speak and were focused on their books, Lu Jueyu was very satisfied with their interaction. Whenever she was with him, her heart warmed and she felt at peace. After they finish reading, they go to bed and when they wake up, they leave the space.
At noon, the school bell finally rang, and the children rushed home. Not everyone brings snacks like the children of the Lu family and the Li family. At this moment, their stomachs were growling with hunger.
When Dong Huang was packing her school bag, she heard the sound of Feng Lin’s stomach rumble. She looked up and saw him blushing from shyness. Feng Lin held his stomach and said, "Ah Huang, I let you see a joke."
Dong Huang was used to it since she was also like that when she was hungry. So, she didn’t find anything wrong or embarrassing and said, "Brother Lin, I still have some snacks. You can have it."
Feng Lin’s parents rarely came back while working in the factory, and the money they sent was only enough for his school tuition. With only his grandparents and himself, they didn’t earn many work points, leading to food shortages.
He could only have very thin millet porridge and a small pancake for breakfast. As for lunch, he and his grandparents would eat around mid-afternoon so they could skip dinner to save food.
Although he was embarrassed to accept Dong Huang’s food, he was indeed so hungry that his stomach ached. He glanced at the snack that was wrapped in oil paper and reached out to take it.
He held the snacks in his hands and said awkwardly, "Thank you, Ah Huang."
Hearing this, Dong Huang smiled and said, "Brother Lin, my foster mother told me that I must be kind to my friends. Since we are friends, from now on, I will share my snacks with you!"
