This was the first time Chen Jianmin tasted so many rare and precious foods in one dish. He felt that it was too wasteful to use so many precious ingredients to make a pot of soup. So, he tasted them carefully one by one.
Seeing him like this, Dong Li thought of the situation of the Chen family and gave him more soup. He scooped up some more seafood and said, "Eat more if you like it."
Seeing this, Lu Wenyi protested, "Cousin, Xiao Yi also wants to drink soup."
Although the soup was delicious, it was a bit spicy for kids. So, Dong Li didn’t give him any more soup, but picked two pieces of braised pork for him and said, "Don’t drink too much soup. It’s too spicy for you."
After hearing what he said, Lu Wenyi pouted his lips and said, "Xiao Yi can eat spicy food."
Dong Li was resolute and did not spoil him, "No, eating too much spicy food will give you a stomach ache."
Seeing that his cousin was unmoved, Lu Wenyi sighed and said, "Then Xiao Yi will eat more vegetables."
This time, Dong Li nodded and picked more vegetable salad for him. After achieving his wish of being cared for by his cousin, Lu Wenyi continued to eat in a good mood.
Seeing the children’s interaction, Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu smiled. Both of them were relieved to see that Dong Li got along well with the children of the Lu family and the Li family.
After lunch, the children helped clear the table, wash the dishes, and then went to the living room to do their homework.
At the same time, Lu Jueyu was packing fruit and grass jelly soup for her husband. She filled several bamboo bottles and put some ice cubes in them to keep them cool.
She packed the brown sugar water and fried soybean powder separately. They can add it later when they eat it. She also made some steamed buns as snacks.
After she finished packing her things, Li Chenmo entered the kitchen.
"Wife, I may come back late. If you are hungry, just have dinner with the children. No need to wait for me," he said.
Passing the food and desserts to him, Lu Jueyu said, "Okay. Be careful when going up the mountain."
"Alright," Li Chenmo nodded and kissed his wife.
After he put the food and drinks into the bamboo basket, he left with the machete, hoe, and the bamboo basket on his back.
After the children finished their homework, they went to the river to fish, while Lu Jueyu stayed at home and made some pickled kumquats and pickled lemons.
After walking for twenty minutes, Li Chenmo arrived at the foot of the mountain and saw Lu Han, Lu Cheng, and Chen Anwen’s brothers already waiting for him.
