Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 315

Chapter 315: Wishful Thinking ( 1 )
While pinching her nose, Lu Jueyu took out twenty sacks of pig pellets from her space, and placed them in the corner of the pig pen. Then, she took out a few buckets of cooked feed for the piglets before going to water the vegetable garden.

When she arrived at the backyard garden, she was surprised to see cantaloupes and watermelons already starting to bear fruit. Generally speaking, it takes at least 30 days after germination to bloom, and another 30-40 days to bear fruit. After it bears fruit, it takes another 30-40 days to mature.

She calculated and found that the cantaloupes and watermelons she planted were already bearing fruit in only about twenty days. Judging from the growth process, she might be able to find ripe fruits in ten days. It was only spring and she couldn’t let anyone know about it. After thinking about it, she decided to cover the watermelons with hay. This way, no one will know about the fruits.

After watering the vegetable gardens and a peach tree, Lu Jueyu went to prepare breakfast. For breakfast today, she made some fried dough sticks, hot soy milk, vegetable porridge, and steamed eggs. Today, it was her husband’s turn to check the crops in the production team’s fields. If there is not enough water, manual watering is required.

Since it was the ‘farming slack period’, the villagers were divided into ten groups and took turns inspecting the fields. This way, each team only has to work once every ten days. They will receive work points based on their work that day. If they don’t need to water the fields or clear the pests and weeds, they will only be given five work points instead of ten.

When the rooster crows, Li Chenmo wakes up and goes to the kitchen to look for his wife. Seeing that his wife had started working early in the morning, he walked over and hugged her from behind. He leaned on her shoulder and asked in a hoarse voice, “Wife, why did you get up so early?”

Lu Jueyu turned around, kissed his lips, and said, “Good morning, husband.”

“Don’t you have to go to the fields today? I got up early to prepare breakfast for you.” She added.

Li Chenmo took a deep breath, smelled his wife’s fragrance, and sighed, “We can go to your space to have breakfast. So, you don’t have to get up so early.”

Hearing what her husband said, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “Although my space is convenient, I still have to cook every day. Otherwise, people will start to become suspicious of us.”

Li Chenmo glanced at his wife and said nothing. He kissed her, then went to freshen up and go to the pigpen. Because the piglets eat different feed from the older pigs, Li Chenmo put them in different pig pens and fed them cooked feed. For the four pigs, he poured the pellets into their feeders.

As soon as the feeder was filled, Li Chenze, Li Lingyun, Lu Han, and Lu Cheng arrived together. Seeing them, Li Chenmo greeted them, “Eldest brother, second brother, brother-in-law.”

Seeing that he had finished feeding the pigs and piglets, Li Lingyun said, “Since we only need to feed the pigs and clean the pigpen, I think it is better to divide the labor. I need to get fertilizer in the morning, so I will come in the morning.”

Li Chenze nodded after listening to his words and said, “Then, how about my second brother and I come over in the morning, and Lu Han and Lu Cheng come over in the afternoon?”

Lu Han and Lu Cheng had no objections to this arrangement and both agreed. After cleaning up the pig manure, Li Chenmo showed the location of the pit he had dug before. They were surprised when they saw bamboo and mushrooms growing thrivingly around the pit. After noting the location, they returned after transporting the pig manure.

When Li Chenmo returned home, he went to the kitchen to get a pot of hot water and wash himself before going to the bedroom. Seeing his wife waiting for him, he smiled and said, “Wife, I’m back.”

Lu Jueyu put down the book in her hand and said, “Husband, let’s eat first while the food is warm.”

“Mhmm.”

After breakfast, Li Chenmo went to work, while Lu Jueyu was preparing more snacks, brewing more wines, and reading in her own space. Since her husband had no fixed place of work during this time, she prepared lunch for him instead of sending it to him.

When Li Chenmo arrived at the central area, he saw Du Jiawen also present. Unlike before when Du Jiawen always looked at him with jealousy and hatred, this time he looked at him calmly and even said hello to him, which surprised Li Chenmo.

“Good morning, Comrade Li.”

Li Chenmo raised his eyebrows and said, “Comrade Du, good morning.”

After the awkward greetings, both of them fell silent, each thinking about their own things. After a while, Du Jiawen coughed lightly and said, “Comrade Li, I want to apologize to you and Jue…your wife for everything I did before.”

Although he was taken aback by his words, the calm expression on Li Chenmo’s face showed nothing as he said, “It’s all in the past. As long as Comrade Du knows his mistakes and moves on, I won’t mind what happened before. ”

Du Jiawen clenched his fists and smiled stiffly, “I understand. I hope you won’t let her down, otherwise, I will take her away.”

Listening to his words, Li Chenmo knew that he was referring to Su Anna and her fish soup incident. He snorted and said coldly, “Comrade Du, mind your own business. Don’t say I won’t give you the chance to take her away, even if my wife and I quarrel, you won’t have a chance at all. After all, Yu Er is my wife and we love each other. Lovers’ quarrels are a spice that can make us love each other even more.”
