Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 380

Chapter 380: Reward
After hearing his words, Li Chenmo led them to the house without saying a word. When they entered the living room, he said, “Comrade, please have a seat.”

After they sat down, he poured them a cup of tea and said, “Comrade, I don’t recall I did something that deserves a reward. Is there any misunderstanding here?”

The middle-aged men looked at each other and smiled.

One of them took out an envelope from his clothes, put it on the table, and said, “Comrade Li, the brigade has decided to reward you because you and your wife have made great contributions to the country. The pig feed formula you gave to the government is very important for increasing the weight of pigs. So far, it has shown a good result.”

“In addition, the quality of pig manure is also increasing, which can improve the quality and growth of vegetables and help us solve the shortage of grain and fresh vegetables.”

“You also contribute to the brigade by sending your pig manure to solve our fertilizer shortage problem. Although you said you didn’t want a reward, the brigade leader felt that we should express our gratitude to you and your wife for your hard work.” he added with a smile.

Li Chenmo nodded and said, “I have learned about this reward system from Comrade Jiang before, and asked him to give the rewards to the production team. There are many elderly people and some orphans who need the government’s help more than my wife and I.”

A middle-aged man smiled and said, “Comrade Li, you don’t have to worry about this. We have informed Comrade Han that your production team will enjoy a 15% tax discount this year and prioritize the orphans and the elderly. This reward is a personal reward for you.”

Before Li Chenmo could refuse, another man added, “Please don’t refuse. You and your wife deserve this reward.”

Seeing that they insisted on him accepting the reward, Li Chenmo nodded and said, “Please express my gratitude to the brigade leaders on my behalf. My wife and I will work harder and contribute to the country.”

Hearing his words, the two middle-aged men were satisfied. They need more motivated young people so that they can successfully implement the government’s work planning. They chatted for a while and then prepared to leave.

Before they took their leave, Li Chenmo went to get some vegetables in the backyard for them. He handed the small package over and said, “Comrade, this is just a small gesture. Thank you for visiting me.”

The two middle-aged men were accustomed to accepting gifts of thanks and did not refuse. After thanking him, they left in a happy mood.

After locking the door, Li Chenmo walked to the backyard. Lu Jueyu saw him coming and asked, “Husband, who came just now?”

Li Chenmo handed the envelope to his wife and said, “The leaders of the brigade sent two comrades to visit us. They are here to deliver this reward.”

Lu Jueyu took the envelope and asked, “Reward? We didn’t do anything worthy of reward. Is there some misunderstanding?”

When Li Chenmo heard similar words, he smiled and said, “It’s a feed formula for pigs.”

After hearing his words, Lu Jueyu remembered that she had indeed provided the pig feed formula to the brigade. Since the formula was from hers, she did not refuse and opened the envelope. The envelope contained a wad of money. Judging from the amount, it should be around three to four thousand yuan.

The government is really generous. But comparing the benefits of the pig feed formula and the money, the government actually benefited more. She used her sleeves as a cover to put the money into her space and continued harvesting cucumbers and cherry tomatoes.

After work was over, the sun was already high overhead. Seeing that the clothes of Dong Li and Dong Huang were soaked with sweat, Lu Jueyu said, “Xiao Li, Xiao Huang, both of you go and have a rest. Auntie already cut the watermelon, you go to the kitchen to get it.”

When they heard that they could eat watermelon, they were very happy. They quickly washed their hands and faces, and then went to the kitchen to get the watermelon.

Due to the Qingming Festival, the school was closed for two days and reopened the day after the festival. Children either help their families at home or go to the graveyard with their parents to clean the tombs of their ancestors and pay homage to their ancestors.

Tomorrow, Dong Li and Dong Huang will go to the graveyard with the Li family and the Lu family to sweep their parents’ tombs. For the Dong siblings’ offerings, Lu Jueyu had prepared some snacks for them. However, the two of them still wanted to go to the foothills to pick some wild fruits and flowers for their parents. So, they don’t come after lunch.

While they were busy preparing for the Qingming Festival, Su Anna finally succeeded in convincing Da Gao to let her go to the county seat. At this moment, both of them were walking on the dirt road, their clothes soaked with sweat.

Feeling the sticky clothes sticking to her body, Su Anna was very annoyed. She had already asked Da Gao to ride the bullock cart and she was willing to pay Zhang Ermu ten cents. But her suggestion was rejected by Da Gao. He said it was a waste of money since they could walk there.

Even taking a bullock cart would take more than an hour to reach the county seat not to mention by walking. It takes them two to three hours to walk there. Now, they wasted three hours on the road and it was already noon when they arrived at the county seat.

Seeing her displeased expression, Da Gao knew that he had miscalculated the time. But being the man he is, he refuses to apologize and instead takes a hard stance. He cleared his throat and said, “Anna, we have to go back in two hours at most. Is there anywhere you want to go?”
