Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 324

Chapter 324: Zhang Dongmei’s Worries
It took Li Chenmo and the rest nearly five hours to remove all the pig manure from the pit. Seeing the fully loaded truck back, Comrade Jiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “Comrade Li, thank you. With these, you have reduced a lot of our work.”

Li Chenmo wiped his forehead and said, “Comrade Jiang, you can come here once every ten days and transport the pig manure. My family and I can’t use so much fertilizer, so feel free to take it as much as you like. ”

After hearing this, Comrade Jiang was overjoyed and said, “In that case, I won’t be polite to you. I will take my comrades to get pig manure in ten days.”

Hearing his words, Li Chenmo chuckled and said, “I should be thanking you for solving my problem. If you come to get the pig manure, I don’t have to dig pits anymore.”

When Li Chenmo raised his head, he saw that the sun had started to set and said, “Comrades, why don’t you go to my house for dinner first before going back?”

“Comrade Li, thank you for the invitation, but it’s getting late now so we will take our leave first. We need to report to the brigade secretary,” one of them said with a smile.

“Alright then.”

Since they brought their own water bottles, Li Chenmo did not invite them to tea. After they left, he returned to his home. When he entered the house, Zhang Dongmei and Pan Meijia were nowhere to be seen. He only saw his wife waiting for him in the living room.

Seeing her husband’s tired look, Lu Jueyu walked over to wipe his sweat and said, “Husband, let’s go to my place.”

Li Chenmo locked the door and nodded. The two went to the bedroom, locked the door, and Lu Jueyu led them to their own space.

Because her husband was tired, she prepared a hot bath and said, “Husband, after taking a bath, soak for 30 minutes to relax your muscles.”

“Mhmm.”

While her husband was taking a shower, she prepared dinner. After dinner, the two read some books before going to bed. Bajie will come to get snacks tonight so after Lu Jueyu wakes up, she prepares some scallion pancakes, dumplings, and steamed cake before she takes his husband out of the space. The sun had just set when they emerged from space.

Since they couldn’t sleep, the two sat on the stone table in the front yard, drinking tea and chatting.

At the same time, Zhang Dongmei was busy cooking in the kitchen, while Li Jingxu was responsible for taking care of the fire. For dinner tonight, she prepared pig blood soup, coarse-grain pancakes, and a bowl of meat porridge for Father Li.

After her family moved to live with Father Li, she took charge of taking care of the housework so that her father-in-law could rest and recuperate. Since it was not the peak season, Li Chenze and their sons would help her work, so she did not feel tired at all.

After cooking, she brought the food to the living room. She put the food on the table and said, “Father, husband, Xiaoqian, dinner is ready.”

Not long after, Father Li walked out of his room. Although he looked frailer than before, he slowly recovered, gained some weight, and looked much better than when he was hospitalized.

Looking at the soup and meat porridge, Father Li said, “Eldest daughter-in-law, next time you should cook more meat. The second son and the third son sent a lot of meat and food over, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

Zhang Dongmei smiled at Father Li and said, “Father, those are given to you by the second and third brothers.”

Father Li waved his hand and said, “Since we live together, there is no need to calculate it so clearly.”

Although Zhang Dongmei still feels it’s better to save the food, she doesn’t refute Father Li and nods, “I’ll listen to Father’s words.”

Knowing that she was used to a frugal life and was a little bit stingy, Father Li sat down without saying a word. After Li Chenze and Li Jingqian washed their hands and took their seats, they entered the living room and started eating.

While eating, Li Chenze said, “Father, my third brother’s fertilizer is really good. After using his fertilizer, the pests disappeared and our vegetables grew faster than before. Since it is so good, should we report it to the team leader?”

Father Li thought for a while and said, “No need. He has already reached an agreement with some families on this matter, and it is no secret. Bringing it up to him will only bring trouble to ourselves.”

Li Chenze felt that his father’s words made sense, nodded, and said nothing more. After a while, Father Li looked at his grandchildren and asked, “Xiaoqian, Xiaoxu, how are your studies?”

Li Jingqian swallowed the food in his mouth and said, “Grandpa, I learn a lot of new knowledge every day. But the teacher said we need to buy more books to note down the course subjects because the textbooks cannot be taken back to study.”

Hearing this, Li Jingxu nodded and added, “The teacher also praised my brother and me because we learn quickly.”

Hearing what they said, Zhang Dongmei was a little worried, while Li Chenze smiled and said, “Father will go buy some books for you two. However, you must concentrate on your studies and don’t let me down.”

Li Jingqian and Li Jingxu were both happy with their father’s words and said in unison, “Father, we will not let you down.”

After dinner, Father Li took the children back to his room, while Li Chenze helped his wife clear the table and wash the dishes. When the two squatted in the backyard, Zhang Dongmei said, “Husband, we don’t have much money anymore. If you buy more books, we won’t have enough money to pay for school tuition.”
