Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 77

Roasted Sweet Potatoes
“I’ll plow the yard after winter and you can plant whatever you want,” he added.

“Thank you, husband.” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

Li Chenze felt that his teeth were about to fall out from the sweetness, and coughed to remind them of his existence. Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu didn’t think there was anything wrong with their interaction, so upon hearing Li Chenze’s cough, Lu Jueyu said with a hint of worry, “Brother, I have made some loquat paste. You can bring some back, it’s good for sore throats. ”

Hearing her words, Li Chenze was a little speechless, and could only say, “Okay, thank you, third sister-in-law.”

“It’s just a small thing. Drinking some loquat can prevent colds.”

After entering the house, Lu Jueyu took the bamboo basket and said, “Husband, brother, I’m going to make some ginger soup to dispel the cold.”

“Do you want me to help you?” Li Chenmo asked.

“No need, we have been walking for a long time today. You go rest first, I can handle it myself.” Lu Jueyu said, and walked to the kitchen.

After placing the bamboo basket in a corner of the kitchen, she lit a fire and started making ginger soup. While waiting, she took out some sweet potatoes from the space and baked them. This is the first time in her two lives that she has experienced such a cold winter. Fortunately, after drinking the water in space, her physical condition improved. Otherwise, she might get sick again.

The ginger soup is ready, and the smell of sweet potatoes is already wafting from the kitchen. Lu Jueyu kept a bowl of ginger soup and two baked potatoes for herself in the kitchen, and brought the rest to the living room.

She scooped the ginger soup into two bowls, handed it to them, and said, “I’m going to prepare the package. Brother, have some ginger soup and roasted potatoes.”

“Alright.”

While the two brothers were chatting in the living room, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen and took out a few jars of meat sauce from her space. Although meat is a good thing, giving out too much will cause suspicion. So, she only put a small jar of meat sauce and half a catty of pork sausage together with the fortune cake package.

In addition to these fourteen packages, Li Chenmo asked her to prepare four more packages for Xiao Zhang and the others. Since she didn’t know who he was sending the package to, she just had to follow his instructions.

Fifteen minutes later, she put the package in the bamboo basket and went to the living room. Due to the large number of items, the bamboo basket was too heavy for her to lift.

“Husband, things are ready.”

Hearing her voice from the kitchen, Li Chenmo walked towards the kitchen. He came to the living room with a bamboo basket, took out some money, and said, “Brother, this is for the postage.”

Li Chenze took the money and the bamboo basket, and said, “Leave this matter to me.”

“Thank you, brother.”

After sending Li Chenze away, Li Chenmo went back to their room. Lu Jueyu didn’t know what he was doing, so she went to wipe her body, and then took a nap. While she was asleep, Li Chenmo lay down and hugged her. As he lay down, he was lost in thought.

When he was in the army, he often went to the mountains to hunt some wild animals and collect mushrooms. He used to make some extra money by selling the items on the black market. After returning, he planned to visit the mountains near the village. Villagers rarely go to the mountains because of the wild animals there, but this is a great opportunity for him.

He looked at Lu Jueyu and smiled. In recent years, the situation in the capital has been unstable. He needs to find a way to earn more money to ensure the livelihood of his family.

During the period of selling things on the black market, he met many people and had some trustworthy acquaintances. Before he retired from the army, those acquaintances gave him names and letters so that he could find a middleman or someone who could handle a big deal in his hometown.

But before he could start his plan, he needs to recover first. After all, he can only go up the mountain if he is healthy. When he relaxed, the tiredness finally hit him and he fell into a drowsy sleep

At the same time, Li Chenze was sitting on the bullock cart going to town. This town is a small town between their village and the county seat. Although it is smaller than the county seat, there is a post office, and it is very convenient for people in the brigade to send and receive packages.

While the bullock cart travels slowly, it is faster than walking. The owner of the bullock cart is the Zhang family. Although owning a personal bullock cart is prohibited, the Zhang family agreed to let the production team borrow it if necessary. Therefore, Huo Yuheng didn’t say anything. If the officers came to check, he would say that the bullock cart was the property of the production team.

Since private transactions are not allowed, Li Chenze took out two roasted sweet potatoes, handed them to the second son of the Zhang family, and said, “Brother Zhang, this roasted sweet potato is delicious. Try it.”

Knowing that Li Chenze wanted to repay him with roasted sweet potatoes, Zhang Ermu didn’t refuse. He took it and said, “Thank you, Brother Li.”

The two ate in silence all the way into the town. It took them 30 minutes to reach the town. After saying goodbye, Li Chenze walked to the post office with a big bamboo basket on his back. When the staff saw him coming with a lot of packages, they all smiled at him. With that many packages, they will hit their target this month.
