Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 587

Chapter 587: Jiang Zehui
As plants grow, they absorb spiritual energy from water and fertilizer and release small amounts of spiritual energy into the surrounding soil and air so the air is filled with spiritual energy.

Whenever the postman breathes, his body can absorb a small amount of spiritual energy, making him feel refreshed. The postman felt the heat in his body slowly disappear and decided to close his eyes and take a nap.

In the kitchen, Lu Jueyu was stirring a jar of citrus honey water and asked, “Husband, who sent the package and letter?”

Li Chenmo checked the sender’s name and said, “This letter is written to you by Xiao Yiqing. As for the package, it was sent by my comrades in the army, Xi Yaoyang.”

Lu Jueyu was stunned when she heard her husband’s words. After Xiao Yiqing was kicked out of the Lu family, she had nothing to do with her. So,she was a little surprised to receive her letter now.

Although she was very curious about the letter, she still held it back and said, “Husband, the honey water is ready. You should bring it out first, the postman was still waiting in the living room.”

Placing the package and the letter on the kitchen table, Li Chenmo nodded. As he walked into the living room, he saw the postman dozing off. Looking at his clothes soaked with sweat, he sighed silently. It is difficult for people in this era to make money.

He took out a cup from the cabinet, poured some citrus honey water, put it on the table, and said, “Comrade, have some drink.”

Hearing his voice, the postman slowly opened his eyes and said, “Ah, I’m sorry, comrade. I fell asleep just now.”

“It seems that your work must be very tiring lately,” Li Chenmo said.

The postman smiled and said, “Well, the number of letters and packages has indeed increased recently, but it’s still manageable.”

He then looked at the golden water in the cup and asked, “Comrade, what is this?”

“This is a citrus honey water that my wife makes.”

The postman was surprised when he heard what he said and said, “Comrade, boiled water is enough, no honey water is needed. It’s too expensive.”

“Comrade, my home is near the foothills. If I’m lucky, I can find wild honey once a year. I found this honey in the mountain foothills last year, so it doesn’t cost much.”

The postman knew that he just wanted to reassure him, so he smiled and said gratefully, “Then I won’t be polite. Thank you, comrade.”

The postman took the cup and took a sip. After taking the first sip, his eyes lit up and he finished the glass of citrus honey water in just a few gulps. He sighed with contentment, put down the cup, and said, “Comrade, your wife is very good at her craftsmanship. This is the most delicious honey water I have ever drunk.”

“Comrade, you praise my wife too much. She just learned some of her family recipes.”

Although Li Chenmo’s words were modest, the pride for his wife in his voice was quite obvious.

The postman smiled and said, “Comrade, my name is Jiang Zehui, you can call me by my first name.”

Li Chenmo nodded and said, “Brother Jiang, my name is Li Chenmo.”

Jiang Zehui already knew about him before and said, “Brother Li, I actually heard about you from my brother. At first, I thought my eldest brother was exaggerating, but after seeing you today, I finally realized that what my eldest brother said was not an exaggeration at all.”

Hearing his words, Li Chenmo thought for a moment, raised his eyebrows and asked, “Are you Comrade Jiang Zemin’s brother?”

Jiang Zehui nodded and said, “Brother Li, since we are already friends, if you need to send a package or letter, you can come to me in the county town. I will give priority to your matters.”

Li Chenmo smiled and said, “In this case, I won’t be polite to Brother Jiang.”

“Good!”

After drinking another cup of citrus honey water, Jiang Zehui said, “Brother Li, I still have some packages and letters to send. I’ll take my leave now.”

“Okay.”

While walking to the front gate, Li Chenmo noticed that Jiang Zehui’s eyes were on the vegetables and said, “Brother Jiang, my wife and I just finished collecting the vegetables. Take some back to try.”

Before Jiang Zehui could refuse, Li Chenmo had already picked some vegetables from the bamboo basket and handed them to him.

Looking at the eggplants, cucumbers, pole beans, and two peaches in his arms, Jiang Zehui said sheepishly, “Thank you, Brother Li. Also please thank your wife for me. Brother Li, I’ll take my leave now.”

“Okay. Walk slowly.”

After sending Jiang Zehui away, Li Chenmo closed the door, feeling that people in this era were very simple and easy to get close to. He only needed to give them some vegetables and they would treat him like family or close friends. This is much better than having to fight and guard against not only enemies but also one’s own blood relatives in his previous life.

With this in mind, he went to the kitchen to help his wife prepare lunch. Dong Li and Dong Huang would be home soon.

At the same time, Grandma Feng in the neighboring village had just baked wild vegetable pancakes in the kitchen. She planned to ask his grandson to send it to Li Chenmo’s family when he came back from school.

She took the bamboo basket that Li Chenmo used when delivering roast chicken last time from the cabinet. Even though they have nothing of value, they still need to give something back to maintain their relationship.

Fortunately, Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu never despised the cheap and ordinary gifts they sent. Otherwise, they may not find anything valuable in return.

Before she put the wild vegetable pancakes into the bamboo basket, she peeled off several layers of oil paper inside the bamboo basket. When she removed the oil paper, she saw a small bag wrapped in cloth at the bottom of the bamboo frame.
