Lu Jueyu handed the ice pack to her husband and said, "Husband, put it on your body to lower your body temperature."
Li Chenmo felt hot and did not refuse. He took the ice pack and applied it to his neck, wrists, and armpits. After a while, he felt better and his body temperature slowly dropped.
Seeing that her husband’s face looked better, Lu Jueyu breathed a sigh of relief and left the kitchen. Cooking on the stove in this weather is torture.
While the two were working hard to cook the Zongzi, the fragrance of the Zongzi was blown around by the wind. Villagers returning from the foothills can smell the fragrance of it when they pass by the hills.
Although the Dragon Boat Festival is not a public holiday, some villagers still made Zongzi and celebrated the festival last year. But this year, there is a shortage of food and no one is in the mood to waste money and ingredients making Zongzi.
As a result, the news about Li Chenmo’s family making Zongzi spread.
Since everyone saw how much grains and meat they got during the distribution, they could only say some harsh words due to jealousy but couldn’t do anything to them.
At the same time, Dong Li and Dong Huang were walking back from Feng Lin’s house when they heard the villagers talking about their parents making Zongzi.
Dong Li hasn’t eaten Zongzi for a long time, and Dong Huang has never had the chance to taste them.
So when she heard the villagers talking about it, she looked at her brother and asked, "Brother, what is Zongzi?"
"It’s a food stuffed with glutinous rice, pork and mushrooms. It’s delicious," Dong Li said as he reminisced about the taste.
When she heard that the food was delicious, Dong Huang’s eyes lit up and she said, "Brother, let’s go back quickly."
Seeing her greedy look, Dong Li flicked her sister’s forehead and said, "Zongzi takes a long time to cook. We can only eat them during the Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow."
Dong Huang rubbed her forehead and said with a pout, "Brother, let’s go back and help our parents. Why do you always think about eating?"
Dong Li was speechless when he heard his sister’s words. Who always thinks about eating? Isn’t it her?
When they walked through the central area, they saw Liu Fuyan carrying Liu Qingran on her back. She walked with her head lowered as if lost in thought.
Seeing her like this, Dong Li frowned and walked over. Even though he was right in front of her, she still didn’t notice him and almost bumped into him.
"Fuyan, what’s wrong?" he asked.
Hearing his voice, Liu Fuyan was stunned and raised her head suddenly. When she saw Dong Li and Dong Huang in front of her, she smiled and said, "What a coincidence, Brother Li, Xiao Huang."
Dong Li glanced at Liu Qingran, who was sleeping soundly, and asked again, "Fuyan, what’s wrong?"
