Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 179

Chapter 179: Group Division
Li Chenmo was afraid that the smell of pig manure would make his wife uncomfortable, so he went directly to the bathroom to take a shower. When Lu Jueyu heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, she quickly brought the hot water over.

“Husband, don’t use cold water. I’ve prepared hot water for you. I put it on the door.” Lu Jueyu said, putting a pot of hot water on the door.

After saying that, she walked quickly to the kitchen. Her cheeks flushed when she heard the bathroom’s door was pushed open, and her husband’s abs came to her mind.

Li Chenmo looked at her back in confusion. He had just washed his hands and was still wearing his clothes. Why did his wife run away like a startled rabbit?

“Does it smell that bad?” he muttered to himself, and went to take a shower.

After Li Chenmo finished taking a bath and went to the bedroom, Lu Jueyu was already waiting for him on the Kang bed. Seeing the food still steaming, a smile appeared on his face. He climbed onto the Kang bed and sat next to his wife.

Seeing that his hair was still wet, Lu Jueyu took the towel from her husband’s hand and helped him dry his hair. At the same time, she said, “Husband, dry your hair well. Otherwise, you will catch a cold.”

Li Chenmo lowered his head and let his wife wipe his hair. It’s not that he doesn’t want to dry his hair well, but he likes his wife to care about him. So, he would intentionally let his hair half dry and then let his wife help him wipe his hair.

“Mhmm.” Li Chenmo let out a soft hum in response to her words.

After Li Chenmo’s hair was mostly dry, they started eating. Drinking the hot soy milk, Li Chenmo said, “Wife, I’m going out for a while. The team leader asked us to clean up the canal. I’ll be back around four o’clock in the evening.”

“Okay. I’ll bring your lunch over later.” Lu Jueyu nodded.

After breakfast, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen, filled a thermos with warm water, and wrapped some scallion pancakes in oil paper. After washing the dishes, Li Chenmo came to the kitchen and saw his wife was packing the scallion pancakes.

He walked over, hugged her from behind, and asked, “Wife, won’t you bring me lunch later?”

Lu Jueyu was used to his clinginess and let him hold her while saying, “I will send your lunch later.”

“Then why did you pack these pancakes? Did you want to give them to others?” he asked, raising his eyebrows.

“This is for you, our parents, and our brothers. Cleaning the canal sounds easy, but it is actually very tiring. You need to dig the canal deeper and wider so that future irrigation will be better. But because the ice has not melted, the ground is still hard. Therefore, you need to use a lot of strength when working. I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I prepared these as snacks.” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

Li Chenmo was very pleased with his wife’s care. He held her waist tightly, kissed her earlobe, and said, “Thank you, wife.”

Lu Jueyu felt itchy from the kiss, so she nudged him with her elbow and said, “Stop messing around.”

When Li Chenmo saw his wife’s shy look, he felt as if his heart was being scratched by a cat. Unfortunately, he needs to leave now or he will be late. After kissing his wife, he carried a small bamboo basket and left the house in a good mood.

When he arrived at the village hall, the sun had just risen and there were not many people there. He looked around and found Han Yuluo looking at him with unfriendly eyes. Li Chenmo just glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the sunrise.

When Han Yuluo saw Li Chenmo ignoring him, he had the urge to go over and beat him. When he saw the bamboo basket in his hand, his heart was filled with jealousy. He knew what was in the bamboo basket without looking because he had also been in Li Chenmo’s position before. Being the one who accepts her carefully prepared food and enjoys her tender care.

Just when Han Yuluo was looking at Li Chenmo with envy, Father Lu, Lu Han, and Lu Cheng also arrived. Li Chenmo saw them coming and greeted them with a smile, “Father, brothers.”

“Brother-in-law, what did you bring?” Lu Cheng asked, pointing to the bamboo basket.

Li Chenmo smiled, opened the bamboo basket’s lid, and said, “Father, brothers, have you had breakfast? Jueyu prepared some scallion pancakes as snacks and warm water for us.”

Smelling the aroma of scallion pancakes, Lu Cheng swallowed his saliva and wanted to try it. But before he could reach out his hand, Father Lu said, “We already had breakfast before we came here. Let’s save it for later.”

After hearing his father’s words, Lu Cheng retracted his hand and sighed. He had to wait for hours before he could eat the pancakes. What a waste, pancakes should be eaten while it’s hot.

Not long after, villagers came one after another. Since today’s job is to clear the canal and repair some damaged areas, only men are needed. The women don’t start work until tomorrow.

Ten minutes later, Han Yuheng came with the educated youths following behind him. Seeing that everyone was here, he said, “Everyone, please line up to draw lots. The person who draws number one will start from the west area. Number two will start from the south area, number three will start from the north area, and number four will start from the east area. There will be twenty people in each group.”

No one had any objections and started to draw a lot. When it was Li Chenmo’s turn, everyone was curious about which group he would join. At this time, Han Yuluo was in the first group and Du Jiawen was in the fourth group.
