Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 204

Chapter 204: Vegetable Garden
Since Li Chenmo didn’t want to talk about it, Ling Yun stopped asking, and the two of them walked in silence.

After hesitating for a moment, Ling Yun said, “If you need my help, just let me know. I will help in any way I can.”

Li Chenmo was surprised by his words. They only chatted briefly for two days and were not even considered acquaintances. Ling Yun actually offered his help, which was beyond his expectations. Although it was unusual, Li Chenmo did not guard against him. Instead, he felt close to him, as if they had known each other for a long time.

He nodded and said, “Okay, I will come to you when I need help. If you need help, you can also come to me. After all, we are neighbors.”

“Alright.” Ling Yun agreed readily.

At the same time, Lu Jueyu went to her space and took out the seeds from the warehouse. She got cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes, peppers, pole beans, lettuce, melons and sunflower seeds.

She will distribute the seeds into different plots and plant some sunflowers with other plants in the same plot, as sunflowers are good companions for these plants. Since the seeds produced in her space do not require germination, she can plant them directly into the soil, which saves her a lot of time.

After getting the seeds, she left the space and started planting lettuce, eggplants, peppers, and pole beans in her front yard. As for tomatoes, cucumbers, and melons, she will plant them in the backyard. After preparing the soil for planting, it took her four hours to complete her work.

When she was done, she massaged her sore lower back and let out a long sigh. Then she took a bucket, filled it with water from the space, and watered the seeds. It took her another two hours to finish the job. Standing in the backyard and looking at the vegetable garden, Lu Jueyu felt very satisfied.

After washing her face, hands, and feet, she went to her own space to prepare lunch for her husband. Today, she made salty bamboo tube rice, egg drop soup, stir-fried vegetables, and Mapo tofu. For an afternoon snack, she made Pukis, a snack from Indonesia.

Pukis is an Indonesian street food made from eggs, sugar, wheat flour, butter, yeast, and coconut milk. Pukis come in many flavors, but Lu Jueyu made banana and pandan flavors for her husband. This snack is soft, fluffy, chewy, sweet, and has a coconut flavor. It is also baked using a crescent-shaped mold.

Pukis cannot be stored for a long time and must be eaten on the same day as this snack uses coconut which may spoil faster. But with her space, she can keep her snacks at their best condition. So, she made a lot of these snacks.

After making the snacks, she packed the lunch and Pukis in a three-layered bamboo basket and left her space. Today, she delivered lunch on her bicycle. She tied up the bamboo basket in the back seat and put several jars of water in the basket in front. With a bicycle, she can save more time and energy. She can also bring more water to her family.

Along the way, the villagers looked at her with envy and jealousy, especially when they saw the bicycle. Mother Yang’s eyes flashed with greed when she saw her riding a bicycle.

She thought that after her son slept with Xiao Yiqing, he would be able to get more money from the Xiao family. Who knew that so many days had passed, and not only did she not get anything in return, Xiao Yiqing also refused to contact her family and go to work in the field to earn work points, saying that she was not feeling well.

Mother Yang felt a little regretful when she recalled the time when Yang Lichao told her that he wanted Lu Jueyu to marry him. She should agree to help her son. After all, everyone knows how much the Lu family loves their daughter. So, if they can get her, they can get money from the Lu family. It’s a pity that her son failed to get his hand on Lu Jueyu. Now, they’re stuck with that bitch who can’t do anything but lie on the bed!

Lu Jueyu ignored the attention of everyone and rode her bicycle to the north area, where she saw her husband plowing the fields hard. She was distressed to see his clothes soaked with sweat. Although he was wearing a straw hat and a towel around his neck, his skin still turned red under the dazzling sunlight.

She parked her bicycle under the tree where her husband kept his bamboo basket. She took out a jar from the basket in front and untied the three-layered bamboo basket. Putting down the jar and bamboo basket, she opened the bamboo basket and took out several packages wrapped in oil paper.

After that, she waved at Li Chenmo and shouted, “Husband, I’m going to give water to our parents first.”

Hearing her words, Li Chenmo stopped what he was doing, turned around, and nodded to her. Watching her ride away on her bicycle, he resumed his work. There is still some time before lunch break.

In less than ten minutes, Lu Jueyu arrived at her parents and Father Li’s workplace. Seeing her coming on her bicycle, Mother Lu said nothing and just nodded to her. Everyone already has their own place for their water bottle and food. So, Lu Jueyu went to get her parents and Father Li’s water bottle to add water. Before leaving, she placed the snack next to the water bottle.

She also sent some water and snacks to Li Chenze, Zhang Dongmei, and her brothers and sister-in-law. When she returned to the north area, she heard sirens blaring over a loudspeaker. Not long after, the villagers stopped working, washed their faces, hands, and feet, and then rested under the trees.
