Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 884

Chapter 884: So Many Whys
Dong Li patted Feng Lin’s head and said, “You don’t have to worry about it. My father and I can earn enough work points to support our family. After all, my father and uncles also raise a lot of pigs. We will have more than enough work points and won’t starve to death.”

Everyone in the brigade knew that Li Chenmo’s family raised a lot of pigs under the orders of the brigade’s secretary and promised to get a lot of work points. So, Feng Lin no longer refused Dong Huang’s help and nodded.

“Thank you, Xiao Huang,” he said with a smile.

Holding his hand, Dong Huang frowned and said, “Ah Lin, you are my best friend. This is what I should do as your friend.”

Dong Li couldn’t help but find it funny when he saw his sister acting like an adult but speaking in a babyish voice. He shook his head and said, “Well, if you still want to go fishing, we should go now.”

It’s been a while since they went fishing together. Therefore, Dong Huang and Feng Lin were very excited, “We want to go!”

When the three of them went fishing, Chen Jianmin was busy cooking in his backyard. Although he only knew how to cook simple dishes, he learned how to grill fish from Lu Jueyu.

Since Li Chenmo gave him three more fish, he decided to grill a fish for his little bride. In addition to the grilled fish, he also prepared a fresh fish, a roasted hare, a bag of wheat, some mushrooms, and some vegetables.

As for the wild beehive discovered yesterday, he was sure that Li Chenmo would definitely get it. Therefore, he does not need to go to the foothills today.

While he was fanning the fire, Chen Jianbai and Chen Jianyan were sitting on the balcony, watching their brother cook.

Smelling the aroma of grilled fish, Chen Jianyan swallowed and asked, “Second brother, why did our eldest brother grill the fish for so long?”

Chen Jianbai pointed at the fish and said, “Maybe it’s because the fish is too big.”

“But why didn’t our brother cut it into small pieces? Wouldn’t it be easier to cook if it was smaller?” Chen Jianyan asked again.

Chen Jianbai scratched his head and said, “Maybe it’s because it looks better when it’s not cut.”

Chen Jianyan let out a long sigh and said, “Second brother, why doesn’t brother let us try the roasted hare?”

Chen Jianbai glanced at his sister, frowned and said, “Maybe our brother wants to save it for later.”

“But why did he put it in the basket?” Chen Jianyan asked again.

This time, Chen Jianbai frowned after listening to her words and said, “Maybe my brother wants to give the fish to Sister Li Shu.”

Hearing this, Chen Jianyan was displeased and pouted, “Second brother, it seems that our brother no longer favors us. He always gives good things to sister Li Shu and only gives us the leftovers.”

Chen Jianbai thought for a moment before saying, “I don’t think so. Our brother always saves his snacks given by Aunt Li and brings them back to us and our parents. If he doesn’t favor us anymore and is biased toward Sister Li Shu, he will give the snacks to Sister Li Shu instead.”

“Is that so?” Chen Jianyan was a little unsure.

The two of them were chatting and sighing as if they were facing the biggest crisis in their life, but Chen Jianmin almost couldn’t hold back his laughter. Due to the close distance, he could clearly hear his younger siblings’ conversation.

He didn’t expect that his sister would have so many troubles at such a young age. Recalling Dong Huang’s actions, he thought, ‘Do all girls mature faster than boys? They are both only 5 years old, but they like to talk like adults. She has so many whys.’

Thinking of this, he glanced at his sister and saw her pouting unhappily. As her brother, of course, he doted on her. But he also had to take care of his little bride. Otherwise, if his little bride ran away, he would have no one to complain to.

When this idea appeared in Chen Jianmin’s mind, he finally turned around and said, “Xiao Bai, Xiao Yan, do you want to eat some wild fruits?”

When the children heard this question, both of them nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

“Brother, do you have any wild fruits?” Chen Jianyan asked.

Chen Jianmin nodded and said, “Yes, it’s in my room. Xiao Bai, go get it. It’s on the desk.”

“Okay!” Chen Jianbai quickly stood up and ran to his brother’s room.

Not long after, he came back with a bag in his hand. Opening the bag, he saw wild berries inside. In addition to the berries, there are some cherry tomatoes and strawberries.

When Chen Jianyan saw this, her eyes lit up and she exclaimed, “Wow! Brother, where did you pick so many fruits?”

“It’s from Ah Li. He picked those fruits for you two. Remember to leave some for our parents and thank Ah Li later,” Chen Jianmin reminded them.

“Brother, we know,” Chen Jianbai and Chen Jianyan said in unison.

With their mouths full of the taste of delicious fruits, they finally stopped complaining and focused on eating. Looking at his younger brother and sister, Chen Jianmin shook his head and sighed.

Compared with Dong Huang, both his brother and sister are too difficult to control.

Thirty minutes later, Chen Jianmin finally finished grilling the fish and used lotus leaves to wrap the grilled fish. Instead of putting the fish in a big bamboo basket, he put it into a small basket with the roasted hare and carried it in his hand.

Seeing him carrying a big bamboo basket on his back, Wu Yahui thought her son was going to the foothills, so she said, “Ah Min, you should take a rest today. Tomorrow we will start working at dawn.”
