Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1088

Chapter 1088: The Most Wonderful Person
Early the next morning in Xie Village, Li Chenze was on his way to the city with Zhang Ermu and Han Yuheng to pick up his family.

Meanwhile, at Li Lingyun’s house, Chen Jianmin, Chen Jianguo, Li Jingqian, Li Jingxu, and Dong Huang were busy watering the garden and harvesting vegetables.

Excited about her parents and brother returning today, Dong Huang had been in high spirits since yesterday. As she harvested tomatoes, she hummed a random tune in her milky voice.

Hearing her humming, Chen Jianguo came over and asked, “Xiao Huang, did something good happen? You look so happy.”

Dong Huang nodded cheerfully and announced, “Brother Jianguo, my parents and brother are coming home today!”

Knowing how much she missed her family, Chen Jianguo smiled and replied, “It’s great that you will finally see them.”

“I wonder what food my parents will bring back for me,” Dong Huang added with anticipation.

Chen Jianguo chuckled at her words and said, “You really love to eat, don’t you? No wonder you are so round and cute.”

Dong Huang looked at him, patted her bulging belly, and asked, “Brother Jianguo, do you think I have lost weight?”

Hearing this question, Chen Jianguo was stunned. He thought for a while and said, “Well, whether Xiao Huang loses weight or not, you are still cute. Your parents and brothers will still love you.”

Hearing this, Dong Huang breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That’s good. My mother said she likes Xiao Huang to be a little fatter than before.”

After hearing her words, Chen Jianguo just smiled and said nothing since he really didn’t know what to say. After a brief conversation, the two continued to harvest vegetables.

After they were done with the work, Chen Jianmin gathered the harvested vegetables and stored them in the warehouse. Then, he led the children to Li Chenmo’s house and continued working.

Li Chenmo’s large garden had taken a while to tend to, but seeing the baskets brimming with fresh vegetables made the children feel that their effort was worthwhile.

While they were washing the dirt off their bodies, Dong Huang turned to Chen Jianmin and said, “Brother Jianmin, before my parents left for the capital, my father said you could take some vegetables home if you wanted.”

Chen Jianmin nodded and said, “Alright, I will take some back.”

“Okay!” Dong Huang agreed happily.

Afterward, Chen Jianmin took a share of the vegetables, escorted Dong Huang and the Li brothers back to Father Li’s house, and returned to his own home with his brother. After washing up and having a quick breakfast, he and his siblings headed to school.

While his siblings walked together, Chen Jianmin waited at the intersection for his little bride. The moment he saw her approaching, he rushed over and took her bag while saying, “Good morning, Shushu.”

“Jianmin, there is no need for you to do this, I can carry it myself,” Li Shu protested when her bag was taken away by him.

Ignoring her rejection, Chen Jianmin carried her bag and handed her a cloth bag.

“My mother made pancakes this morning, so I brought some for you. There is also a tomato and a cucumber—you can have them during break time,” he said.

Holding the bag in her arms, Li Shu sighed and said helplessly, “Jianmin, you don’t have to do this.”

Chen Jianmin smiled at her words and said, “I know, but I want to. Shushu, I have told you before—I like you. That is why I want to treat you well.”

Li Shu was used to his persistence and went silent for a moment before she said, “But we are still young. What if you meet someone better than me in the future? So, you shouldn’t–”

Before she could continue, Chen Jianmin interrupted her firmly, “Shushu, I don’t know what the future holds, but right now, you are the most wonderful person to me. I’m willing to do this. So, please don’t feel burdened, okay?”

Li Shu lowered her gaze and said nothing when she heard this, lost in her thoughts.

Her silence made him nervous. Chen Jianmin hesitated before adding softly, “Unless… you think I’m annoying or bothering you. If that’s the case, I promise that I will leave you alone.”

Hearing the sadness in his voice and seeing his aggrieved expression, Li Shu’s heart softened. She shook her head and said, “I didn’t think you were annoying or bothering me.”

Chen Jianmin’s eyes lit up and he asked, “Really?”

Li Shu nodded and explained, “Really! I just feel guilty accepting so much from you and your family. You have many siblings, and it’s not easy for your parents.”

“I know you often go to the mountains to pick mushrooms, collect food, and even catch wild animals because your family didn’t have enough food. So, I don’t want to take advantage of you nor do I want you to work too hard.”

Chen Jianmin’s face broke into a wide grin at her words and he reassured her, “Shushu, don’t worry about me. I may look skinny, but I’m strong! I can carry 80 kilograms of grain without a problem after training for a while.”

Li Shu’s cheeks reddened as she glanced at his flexed muscles. She turned her head and said, “What are you doing, showing off like that?”

Noticing her shyness, Chen Jianmin was delighted and murmured under his breath, “You will be my wife someday, so what’s wrong with showing my body to you now?”

“What did you say?” Li Shu asked.

“Nothing!” Chen Jianmin replied quickly while grinning.

As the sun rose in the eastern sky, villagers began their work, and children headed to school.

At nine o’clock in the morning, Li Chenze, Zhang Ermu, and Han Yuheng finally arrived at the train station.

After parking the bicycle, bullock cart, and tractor on the side of the road, Li Chenze took out a package wrapped in oil paper from his bag and said, “Brother Ermu, Brother Yuheng, let’s have breakfast first while we wait.”
