In those memories, Li Chenmo saw Lu Jueyu having an intimate conversation with a tall man. She eats with him in a beautiful dress. When she looked at him, her eyes were full of emotion. She even gave him a birthday present! She never gives him any gift despite being engaged for two years.
He was curious about the man, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see his face. When those memories flooded into his mind, he almost couldn't hold back his urge to kill that man. No one knew how much self-control he needed to keep himself from going mad with jealousy.
Li Chenmo lowered his eyes to hide his emotions, and asked, "Did my words burden you?"
Lu Jueyu looked at him and saw that he was in a bad mood. She chuckled, held his hand, and said, "Why do I feel burdened? I appreciate your feelings and there is nothing wrong with you. I also felt angry and uncomfortable when I saw Su Anna come to visit you last time. "
"I didn't," he said suddenly.
"Hm?"
"I didn't let her visit me. Father didn't let her in and I warned her," he added.
"What did you say to her?" she asked curiously.
"If she continues to harass me and my family, I will report her to the authorities."
Lu Jueyu was taken aback by his words. In this day and age, being reported to the authorities could end up with a prison sentence, or be paraded through the streets of their brigade. One must know that one brigade has ten production teams.
The later punishment was very humiliating. If she really paraded, she may not be able to get a good marriage or not be able to marry for the rest of her life, and even her future might be implicated. No one dares to hire someone with a criminal record. Therefore, his threat is very harsh.
But when she thought of Su Anna's rude words, she felt very refreshed after hearing his words. Indeed, the male lead is a loyal and devoted person to the one he loves.
"Alright, let's not talk about others. If we keep talking, the dinner will get cold." Lu Jueyu said with a smile, and put the food on the small table.
Li Chenmo looked at the food on the table and said, "It's almost New Year, and you still need to go to buy chicken and fish. I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Is there still a need to be so polite between us?" Lu Jueyu asked with a smile. She didn't want to talk about this topic, lest she slip up and make him suspicious.
Li Chenmo stopped asking and drank the chicken soup. He took a sip and tasted the flavors of herbs such as ginseng, ginger, and red dates. The chicken broth has a layer of oil but is not greasy. Instead, it's very refreshing and warming. Generally, the chicken meat used for chicken soup will be tasteless and dry, but the one cooked by Lu Jueyu was soft and juicy.
After taking a few sips of the soup, he ate the rice and savored the aroma. He can eat several bowls of this kind of rice without side dishes. He didn't know how she cooked the rice, but the rice had a unique fragrance.
"Try the fish." Seeing that he only ate rice and soup, Lu Jueyu clipped some fish steak and placed it on his bowl.
Li Chenmo nodded and tried the fish. He was surprised by the taste. It was tasty and refreshing with a hint of tartness. It doesn't have any fishy smell at all.
Seeing him eating with gusto, Lu Jueyu couldn't help smiling. Whenever she sees people enjoying the food she makes, she feels satisfied and it brings her joy. She went to the kitchen to make him tea. While Li Chenmo ate, she filled the water tank with water from her space. Her brothers told her the waterway would be finished by at least tomorrow. After that, the Li family has had a new source of drinking water.
When she returned to the room, Li Chenmo had already finished his dinner. She handed him the tea and asked, "Is the food too much for you?"
He shook his head and said, "No, the portion is perfect."
Lu Jueyu nodded, and while clearing the table, she thought that his appetite was really big. He eats three times as much as she does. After clearing the table, she went out and came back with a bag of things. Li Chenmo looked at the bag curiously, and asked, "Jueyu, what did you bring?"
She sat on the Kang bed, handed him the bundle, and said, "This is for you. Open it and see if you like it."
Li Chenmo's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his handsome face. He smiled and opened the bundle. He was stunned when he saw a sweater, scarf, hat, glove, sock, and stomach warmer. He caresses the sweater carefully. When he felt the smooth and soft texture, he knew that the wool must be expensive.
She gave him all this now, which means she must have prepared it long ago. He couldn't help smiling when he thought of how she picked the wool and made all of these while thinking of him. Those who say that she has an unclear relationship with Du Jiawen must be blind. It was obvious that she cared deeply about him. Next time they dare to talk nonsense again, he will settle accounts with them!
"Did you make it yourself?" He asked.
"En. I will make more for you in the coming days. The quilt is too thin and couldn't keep you warm so wear this for now." She said and took out the sweater from the bundle.
"Try it out and see if it suits you," she adds.
Li Chenmo was reluctant to wear the new sweater at first, but at her urging, he finally put it on.

With the sweater, stomach warmer, and socks, Li Chenmo felt warm in no time. He carefully placed the gloves, hat, and scarf beside the bed.
Seeing him like this, Lu Jueyu said, "I'll measure Uncle Li and your size tomorrow. It's almost Chinese New Year, and you also need new clothes for our wedding."
"By the way, Brother Chenmo, I also made a sweater for Uncle Li. Do you think it's okay for me to give it to your father?" she asked.
Li Chenmo looked at her tenderly and said, "What about your father and my father? My father is your father. As long as it is given by his daughter-in-law, he will be happy."
Lu Jueyu blushed and said, "We're not married yet, so don't talk nonsense."
"What nonsense? You're going to be my wife sooner or later." He chuckled.
She was a little embarrassed so she tried to change the subject, and asked, "Brother Chenmo, how is your injury? Is it better now?"
"Yeah. I feel much better now."
"Do you still feel pain?" she asked again.
"No, even the swelling is gone."
After thinking for a while, she asked again, "Do you want to go to the county seat for a check up the day after tomorrow?"
Li Chenmo thought for a while and said, "Then I will inform my father. We may need to borrow a tractor from the team leader."
"Alright. I made some dried fruit before, we can give some to the team leader when we borrow the tractor." Lu Jueyu thought about the candied fruit in her space and suggested.
"Okay."
They chatted until Father Li came back. Seeing that Lu Jueyu was still there, Father Li asked in surprise, "Xiaoyu, why are you still there? It's already very late."
"Uncle Li, you're back." She stood up and took out a bundle from the basket.
"Uncle Li, this is for you. The weather is getting cold lately, so you need to wear more clothes." She handed him the bundle.
Father Li was surprised by the unexpected gift. He glanced at his son, saw him nodding his head, accepted it, and said, "Thank you, Xiaoyu. But, there is no need to spend money on gifts for me."
Although Father Li said so, the smile on his face proved otherwise. He is very happy to receive a gift from his future daughter-in-law. He was very surprised when he opened the package and saw a sweater, gloves, hat, scarf, socks and stomach warmer inside.
"This must cost a lot of money." he said with wide-eyed eyes.
"I have a friend who works in a factory. These wools are leftovers. I bought them at a cheaper price. Uncle Li, try to see if it suits you." Lu Jueyu said casually.
Father Li looked at the new sweater with complicated eyes. Even if she bought it at a cheaper price, it would still cost a lot of money. Is his son's money enough for her to spend? If she spends money like this, how will they live in the future?
Li Chenmo understood his father's expression, but he didn't say anything. The money he gave her, even if he didn't work, was enough to feed them for several years. What's more, he didn't intend to waste his days. When he retired from the military, he already had plans.
When Father Li put on the new sweater, Lu Jueyu checked the size and said, "It's not bad, but it's a little big. I'll make it smaller next time."
Hearing that there will be another time, Father Li said with a smile, "There is no need to make so many clothes. One new piece of clothing every few years is enough."
Father Li's way of thinking is very common in this era. Most people's clothes last for years and are mended if they are worn out. For a large family, the younger children would wear older siblings' old clothes and rarely have new clothes. But Lu Jueyu had a different idea. Because she has a lot of materials, she can make more clothes for them. She also plans to made a new quilt. The quilt used by her family and that of the Li family is already too thin and old.
When she returned to her house, Father Li walked her home as the sky already darkened and it was dangerous for a young woman to walk alone, especially after several cases happened in the past few weeks.
The next day, Lu Han and Lu Cheng came to Li's house to dig ponds and build waterways. At the same time, Lu Jueyu went to find the production team leader after delivering breakfast to Li Chenmo and Father Li. As for Father Li, he insisted on helping the Lu brothers to build the pond and waterways.
Lu Jueyu learned from her mother that the team leader's wife had just given birth to a son. So instead of candied fruit, she took out half a catty of brown sugar and five eggs. Although not much, it is a good thing for women who have just given birth.
Today's weather is warmer than yesterday, and the snow has melted. When she walked to the team leader's house, the villagers were outside basking in the sun. When she sees them, she greets them. Whenever she greeted the villagers, they either smiled awkwardly or looked at her in surprise.
In their memory, Lu Jueyu was an arrogant, short-tempered, and gloomy girl. They didn't expect that after she recovered from the high fever, her personality would change so much. Now she is not only more cheerful and lively but also more beautiful and polite.
When Lu Jueyu arrived at the team leader's house, she saw a young man cleaning the front yard and a little girl watching at the door. When he heard her footsteps, he stopped and raised his head. As soon as he saw her, a smile appeared on his face as joy filled his eyes as he asked, "Jueyu, what brought you here today?"
