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?"

Lu Jueyu didn't know who this person was, but seeing his smile made her heart skip a beat. It seems that this person is very important to the original owner.
Seeing that she was silent, Han Yuluo remembered that his sister-in-law once told him that Lu Jueyu fell into the river and had a high fever. Upon waking, she suffered from partial memory loss. She only remembered some people, others were strangers to her. His eyes darkened as he thought of being classified as strangers by her.
At the same time, a memory that shocked her appeared in Lu Jueyu's mind. Her guess wasn't wrong, but it wasn't close enough to the truth. The person in front of her is the original owner's childhood sweetheart, the one she loves and ended up marrying in the plot line!
Judging by his gentle appearance and loving eyes, he seems to like the original owner very much. But if he loved the original owner, how could he get entangled with the widow during their marriage? Is it because of the depression of the original owner?
Knowing the fate between them, she didn't know how to face him for a while. So, she could only squeeze out a smile and said, "Brother Yuluo, I didn't know you were back."
Hearing her words, his eyes lit up again, and he said, "En, the factory is already on holiday. I heard from my sister-in-law that you fell into the river and had a fever. Are you feeling better now?"
"En, I'm fine now." She nodded awkwardly.
After a short conversation, both of them fell silent. Seeing Han Yuluo looking at her with complicated eyes, Lu Jueyu's heart trembled. This kind of ill fate relationship is best avoided if it can be avoided.
"Brother Yuluo, is the team leader at home?" Lu Jueyu asked.
Han Yuluo nodded and said, "En. Come in."
He walked towards the house, followed by Lu Jueyu. At the door, the little girl looked at her, smiled, and said in a milky voice, "Aunt Jueyu, you finally came to see my youngest uncle. He has been waiting for you since he came back."
Lu Jueyu was taken aback by her words, and laughed awkwardly, pretending not to hear her words. Han Yuluo clenched his fists when he heard his niece's words and her awkward laughter. He regretted for a long time that he didn't save her. It would be great if it was he who saved her that day instead of Li Chenmo. But there are no 'ifs' in this world. In less than two months, she was going to marry another man. From then on, he didn't even have the right to call her by her name.
"Sit down first, I'll call my brother." Han Yuluo said, pouring her a cup of hot tea.
"Thank you."
While he went to call the team leader, Lu Jueyu took out two milk candies from her pocket and handed them to the little girl. Looking at the milk candies, the girl was overjoyed, took it shyly, and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
Not long after, Han Yuheng came out and said, "It's rare for you to come. What's the matter?"
Lu Jueyu stood up and said, "Brother Han, I'm sorry to disturb you so early in the morning."
"It's okay. Have a seat." Han Yuheng waved his hand and sat down opposite her.
After the two sat down, she placed a bamboo basket in front of him and said, "I didn't come to visit my sister-in-law when she gave birth. These are some things for my sister-in-law. Congratulations to both of you."
Han Yuheng was used to this kind of attitude from the villagers, so he didn't think much about it. After all, it is normal for the villagers to give gifts to each other during the festival or celebrations. He looked into the basket and saw brown sugar and eggs in it. He was delighted when he saw what was inside.
His wife really needs these to supplement her health and he's been going to the state-owned supply store in the county seat for days but can't get brown sugar because it's out of stock. Although there is not much, he can see Lu Jueyu's sincerity. His attitude changed immediately.
At first, because of his younger brother, he had some prejudice against Lu Jueyu. He felt that she was a restless woman as the villagers said, because she had already had a relationship with his brother but at the same time still had an affair with Li Chenmo. But when he saw her today, he began to doubt the rumor. After all, she wasn't what she was rumored to be at all. She is polite, gentle, and hardworking, far from the arrogant, restless, and lazy girl in the rumors.
After putting the bamboo basket aside, he said, "It doesn't matter. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Lu Jueyu nodded and said, "If possible, I would like to borrow a tractor for tomorrow."
Han Yuheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "May I ask why you want to borrow it?"
"Brother Han, it's like this. Tomorrow, I'm going to take Brother Chenmo to the county seat for a check-up. It's not convenient for him to walk, so I wonder if I can borrow a tractor." She explained calmly.
"So it's like this. No problem. What time do you want to leave tomorrow?" Han Yuheng asked.
"We plan to leave at 7 am."
"Okay, then I'll pick both of you up tomorrow at Li's house." Han Yuheng readily agreed.
Lu Jueyu heaved a sigh of relief when she heard his words. People say that it is difficult to borrow a tractor. Fortunately, the 'gift' she brought made it easier for her to borrow it.
She stood up and said, "Thank you, Brother Han. Then, I will take my leave first. "
"Okay. Walk slowly."
When she left the house, Han Yuluo walked out of his room with a gloomy expression.
