Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1357: The Frog Is Softened

Lu Jueyu nodded and said, "Then, I will let Ah Li and Jianmin handle the wedding banquet. Sister Liu Piao, you just need to inform me how many tables you need, and we will prepare the ingredients."

Liu Piao thought for a moment and said, "I only have a handful of friends and family, so two tables are enough for me."

"My family needs three tables for friends and one table for the village elders and production team leaders," Zhang Ermu added.

Lu Jueyu nodded and said, "Including the bride and groom's table, there will be seven tables. I will prepare enough ingredients for ten tables. If there are more guests, we can just open another table. This way, all the guests will have a seat."

Zhang Ermu nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, we will leave this matter to you. Please calculate the cost and let me know. I will return the money to you later."

"Brother-in-law, we can talk about the cost after the banquet. There's no rush," Lu Jueyu replied.

"Alright."

After they reached an agreement, Lu Jueyu sent them off and returned to the kitchen.

At this moment, Dong Li and Chen Jianmin were washing the dishes after cleaning up the kitchen. They had cooked the dishes in large portions but only served a small amount, so there were a lot of leftovers.

Sitting on the balcony, Lu Jueyu looked at them and said, "Ah Li, Jianmin, the two of you are doing great. The Zhang family is very satisfied with the dishes, so the two of you will handle the banquet."

"Mother, will we be able to do it?" Dong Li asked with doubts.

"Don't worry. When you cook, Mother will be there. If both of you can't handle it, Mother will help you," Lu Jueyu assured her son.

After hearing his mother's words, Dong Li nodded and felt more at ease. When they finished cleaning up, it was already noon, so they had lunch together before Chen Jianmin returned to his home, holding two three-layered bamboo baskets.

Before he returned to his home, Chen Jianmin took a detour and went to visit Li Shu. When he reached Doctor Xie's house, he saw her washing clothes at the well while Shitou was catching worms in the medicinal herb garden.

He pushed the gate and entered the yard with familiarity while saying, "Shushu, look at what I brought for you."

Hearing his voice, Li Shu raised her head and asked, "Jianmin, you are here."

After he had placed the three-layered bamboo baskets on the balcony, he walked over and said, "Shushu, you go rest. I will do the rest."

Li Shu was already used to him helping her, so she didn't refuse. After washing her hands, she went to check the bamboo baskets.

Before she opened the lid, Shitou came over and asked, "Brother-in-law, did you bring delicious food for my sister again?"

The moment he said this, Li Shu glared at him and said, "Shitou, call him Brother Jianmin. Who taught you to call people brother-in-law?"

Shitou scratched his head and looked at Chen Jianmin. Seeing his wink, he nodded and said, "Sister, I heard the uncles call each other like this."

When she heard this, Li Shu said with a frown, "Shitou, you can't learn from others without knowing the meaning of the actions or words."

For a little boy like him, both Brother-in-law and Brother Jianmin were the same. So, he really didn't understand why his sister was angry when she heard this.

Seeing that Li Shu wanted to lecture Shitou again, Chen Jianmin interrupted her, "Shushu, Shitou is still young. It's normal for children to follow adults' behaviors and words. Just teach him slowly."

Hearing his words, Li Shu looked at him, and when she saw that he didn't feel offended, she let out a sigh and said, "Since Shitou is still young, we should teach him. Otherwise, when he is older, it will be hard to teach him."

The moment Chen Jianmin heard her words, the corners of his lips lifted. After boiling the frog in warm water for so long, the frog finally softened.

As she got used to his presence, it would become her habit to include him in her life. This way, even if there were lots of men pursuing her in the future, he would still be the most special in her heart.

With these thoughts, he smiled brighter and said, "Shushu, you should try the food first. Otherwise, it won't taste good anymore if it gets cold."

As soon as he said these words, Shitou's eyes lit up. Holding his sister's arm, he urged, "Sister, quickly see what good food Brother Jianmin brought us."

Looking at her brother's greedy expression, Li Shu smiled and said helplessly, "Little greedy ghost."

Opening the bamboo basket, the fragrant scent of the food filled the air. As she took out the plates and bowls, she saw the exquisite dishes and said, "Jianmin, are these made by you?"

"It was done by Ah Li and me under Aunt Li's guidance. The taste is still far from Aunt Li's level. I still have a lot to learn," Chen Jianmin replied modestly.

When he didn't hear any replies, he turned and saw the sister and brother savoring the spring rolls with their eyes closed.

At this moment, everyone who saw them would know that they were siblings. Even without a blood relation, their bond was deep and there were lots of similarities in their behaviors.

After swallowing the food fed by his sister, Shitou said, "Brother Jianmin, it's so delicious! In the future, can you make more for me and my sister?"

Chen Jianmin chuckled and replied, "If Shitou likes it, Brother will cook it for you every day."

Shitou nodded excitedly and replied, "Brother, you are the best!"

Recalling the rumors he heard about Shitou's grandma finding a new mother for him, Chen Jianmin added, "Shitou, if you are bored, just go visit Xiao Yan and Xiao Fang to play together."

Hearing this, Shitou nodded and asked, "Brother Jianmin, can I bring them to visit Xiao Feng at Second Aunt Lu's house?"
