Hearing her daughter’s request, Lu Jueyu chuckled and said, "Alright. Mother will make more snacks for you and your friends."
Sitting near the stove, Dong Huang grinned and said, "Mother, I also want some roasted sweet potatoes."
"Okay, we will roast them after we finish cooking," Lu Jueyu replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Dong Huang clapped and said, "Thank you, Mother!"
Today, Lu Jueyu prepared chicken noodles, scallion pancakes, tea eggs, and soymilk for breakfast.
For the snacks, she made more scallion pancakes and added some meat and vegetable fillings. The amount of meat she added was less than usual so as not to attract too much suspicion.
When she was done cooking, she removed the firewood from the stove and extinguished the fire, leaving only some embers in the stove.
She washed several sweet potatoes and buried them under the embers. When they finished their breakfast, the roasted sweet potatoes should be ready.
Not long after they finished preparing breakfast, Dong Li and Li Chenmo returned from the pigpens. After the two of them took a quick shower, the family ate together.
When they were done, Li Chenmo and the children went to change their clothes into work clothes. Their work clothes were made using hemp fabric on the outside, while the inner layer used soft cotton fabric.
Using two layers of fabric with different softness would protect their skin from rashes and scratches. As for the hemp fabric, it was durable and fit for farmland work. Wearing these clothes wouldn’t raise people’s suspicions.
While the father and children were changing clothes, Lu Jueyu was packing their snacks and honey water in the kitchen. When she walked to the living room, she saw them already waiting there.
Handing over the bamboo baskets to her husband, she said, "Husband, be careful when you work."
Nodding at his wife’s words, Li Chenmo said, "I will take good care of myself and the children."
"Okay."
When they left the house, the sun had just risen on the eastern horizon. Today, not only Li Chenmo and his children went to help, even some villagers who had a good relationship with Chen Gang came over.
While it was a good thing to have more people come help them repair the house and plant vegetables, they had to prepare more food and water.
For the Wei family, it wasn’t a problem to cook more. The problem was that no one knew how to cook in their family.
