Chapter 1143: Good News
Four hours later, they woke up and changed their clothes. Leaving their space, they reappeared in their bedroom and noticed it was dawn.

As usual, Li Chenmo went to the pigpen while Lu Jueyu boiled water and brought out the breakfast she had prepared earlier. An hour later, their children, Dong Li and Dong Huang, woke up.

Since Li Lingyun was heading to the city, Dong Li helped his father at the pigpen, while Dong Huang watered the vegetable garden with her mother. Looking at the vegetables, Lu Jueyu thought about what to plant for fall and winter.

Although summer vegetables could grow in the greenhouses, she wanted to add fall and winter crops for variety.

At the pigpen, Li Chenmo was shoveling manure when Dong Li and Li Chenze arrived. Soon, Chen Jianmin and Chen Jianguo came to help. Noticing the Chen family’s sons, he silently decided to share some of his work points with them during the next meat distribution day.

With their help shoveling the manure into the cart, he began transferring manure to the mountain pits. He brought four bottles of his wife’s space lake water, each holding two liters. Though the quantity was small, the water’s effect was potent—two liters were enough for one pit.

At the pits, he poured manure into an empty one and added the lake water to the others. The moment the water mixed with the fertilizer, the odor disappeared, replaced by a faint grassy scent. Frowning at this unusual change, he realized it might raise suspicions if the fertilizer was sent to the capital.

To mask the oddity, he collected some rotten bamboo leaves and some grass and mixed them into the fertilizer with a bamboo pole. This way, even if anyone doubted, there would be no evidence.

More than an hour later, Li Chenmo finally returned from the mountain pits, and Li Chenze and the children finally finished cleaning the pig pen.

At this moment, the piglet had grown so much that it could start eating the same pig feed as the adult pigs. Fortunately, the pig feed was produced by his wife’s space. Otherwise, there would have been no way to feed 60 pigs.

Before they left the pig pen, Li Chenmo stopped the Chen brothers and said, “Jianmin, Jianguo, both of you should come every morning to help. When we receive the work points, each of you will get 5% of the total work points.”

Hearing this, Chen Jianmin and Chen Jianguo were delighted. Although they had come to help to repay the Li family’s kindness, they weren’t foolish enough to refuse such a good offer.

Nodding at his words, Chen Jianmin said, “Thank you, Uncle Li. I will bring my brother to help every day.”

“Good. Also, if you need fertilizer, just go and get it yourselves from the mountain pits,” Li Chenmo added.

This time, Chen Jianmin’s eyes lit up as he readily agreed, “Thank you, Uncle Li!”

Their family had been using fertilizer made by themselves, but the quality of their vegetables wasn’t as good as those grown by Li Chenmo’s family. He had wanted to ask for their fertilizer for a long time but was too embarrassed to bring it up. Now that Li Chenmo offered it, he wouldn’t refuse.

After hearing this good news, Chen Jianmin and Chen Jianguo returned home in high spirits. When they arrived, they saw their mother washing clothes near the well, while their father was plowing the front yard. He was preparing the soil to plant some cabbages and winter vegetables.

Seeing them return, Wu Yahui said, “Ah Min, Ah Guo, there are some steamed buns in the kitchen for you. After washing up, go have breakfast and get ready for school.”

Walking over, Chen Jianmin drew a bucket of water from the well and said, “Mother, Uncle Li told us that each of us will receive 5% of the total work points he gets during the meat distribution day. With these work points, we will be able to have more meat for the New Year.”

Hearing this, both Wu Yahui and Chen Gang were stunned. From what they knew, the Li family and Lu family earned so many work points that the brigade allowed them to exchange points for money.

Even though it was only 10% combined, the work points might amount to more than their family earned in an entire year!

Looking at his son, Chen Gang asked, “Ah Min, are you sure Li Chenmo really said that?”

“Father, Uncle Li said he would give my brother and me 5% as long as we help him with the pig pen every day,” Chen Jianguo replied with a wide smile.

It was the first time he could earn so many work points to help his family. The thought that he was finally able to repay his second uncle and second aunt’s kindness for adopting him filled him with energy.

“Not only that, Uncle Li also told us to get fertilizer ourselves if we need it. Father, I will bring back two buckets of fertilizer after school,” Chen Jianmin added.

Chen Gang was delighted at this news and said, “That’s great! With this fertilizer, we won’t have to worry about our soil lacking nutrients. Li Chenmo’s fertilizer is so good that even the capital requests it.”

Hearing this, Wu Yahui hesitated for a moment before asking, “Ah Min, is it really alright to take so much fertilizer? I heard from the villagers yesterday that the brigade is asking for more fertilizer from all the production teams because the amount of Li Chenmo’s fertilizer was not enough.”

“Mother, it’s fine. Since Uncle Li said so, he must have already calculated everything,” Chen Jianmin reassured her.

Hearing her son’s reassurance, Wu Yahui no longer worried about this matter and urged them to wash up and eat their breakfast quickly.

At the same time, near the school, Lin Muai was blocked by Shi Qiwan at the intersection. Seeing that it was Liu Fuyan’s mother, she greeted her with a smile.
