Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 967

Chapter 967: I’m Not An Ungrateful Person
After a while, Li Lingyun said, “By the way, I will go to the brigade to get our travel permits in a moment. These travel permits are valid for one month. We can leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”

“Xiao Li, when will your exam end?” he asked.

Hearing this, Dong Li raised his head and said, “Second uncle, today is the last day of the exam.”

“That’s great. We will probably stay ten days, so let your teacher know in advance. Maybe you will join the new class later than others.”

“Okay.” Dong Li nodded.

Thanks to Dong Li’s help, they finished faster than usual. When they returned from the pig pen, the sun was just rising over the eastern horizon.

After washing off the dirt on their bodies, Li Chenmo and Dong Li went to help Lu Jueyu and Dong Huang. A family of four finished watering the vegetable gardens in less than thirty minutes.

While the children went to take a quick bath, Li Chenmo went to the kitchen to help his wife.

He sat by the stove, added firewood, and said, “Wife, I want to take Dong Li to the capital with us.”

Lu Jueyu was stunned by her husband’s words and said, “Isn’t this too sudden? We haven’t applied for a travel permit for him yet.”

“Don’t worry, my second brother will take care of this matter. We just need to notify the school, because Xiao Li may join the new semester later than others.”

After hearing what her husband said, Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “In that case, I will visit the teacher today.”

Remembering what happened to the children before due to the snacks, Li Chenmo said, “Wife, don’t give the teacher too many snacks later. Otherwise, other children might be envious of our children and find fault with them.”

Recalling Gou Dan’s case, Lu Jueyu agreed readily, “Okay, I will listen to you.”

After a simple breakfast, Li Chenmo went to the mountains to collect grain, while Lu Jueyu took the children to school.

Since she was going to visit the teacher, she couldn’t visit empty-handed, so she prepared some snacks.

This time, she prepared a mix of roasted nuts and three bottles of herbal tea. These two items are not rare, but have high nutritional and health value.

When she walked to school, the children of the Lu family and the Li family also joined in and greeted her happily, “Good morning, aunt!”

Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “Good morning.”

Lu Wenyi walked up to her, held her hand, and asked, “Little Aunt, are you going to school with us?”

“Yes, your little aunt wants to visit your cousin’s teacher,” Lu Jueyu nodded and gently touched her nephew’s head.

Hearing this, Li Jingqian looked at her and asked, “Third aunt, why do you suddenly want to see the teacher? Is it because my cousin made trouble two days ago?”

Seeing his worry, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it’s not because of this.”

“Your third uncle wants to take your cousin to the capital this time, so your Third aunt needs to inform the teacher. Otherwise, the teacher will blame your cousin when he enters school later than other children in the new semester.”

When the children heard her words, they immediately let out an exclamation and looked at Dong Li with admiration.

Even Chen Jianmin couldn’t help but envy Dong Li. As they all know, to go to faraway places, they need a travel permit, and getting a travel permit is not easy.

In addition to paying money, they also need a good record or a recommendation from a leader. Therefore, most villagers never go to the city, let alone the capital city.

But this feeling of envy only lasted for a moment and turned into motivation to improve himself. Since his family does not have the same abilities as the Li family, he can only work harder to achieve more than others.

Chen Jianmin clenched his fists and thought, ‘One day, I will bring my family to go to the Capital city too.’

Dong Li noticed the change in his friend’s expression. When he saw his friend’s clear eyes, he felt relieved. He only has one close friend, and he doesn’t want to lose this friendship because of this trip to the capital.

He walked up to Chen Jianmin, patted him on the shoulder and said in a low voice, “When I come back from the capital, I will try my best to bring you some books.”

Dong Li leaned closer to his friend and whispered, “I heard that there are books on the black market that are not available in our city.”

Hearing this, Chen Jianmin also came closer and whispered back, “Wasn’t the situation in the capital city unstable? It’s best to avoid the black market. You don’t need to bring anything back, just ensure your own safety when you are there.”

Dong Li looked at him and asked with a frown, “Where did you hear this news?”

Hearing his friend’s question, Chen Jianmin realized that he had let the cat out. He scratched his nose and explained, “I heard it when I went to sell my mushrooms to Bajie.”

“How do you know him?” Dong Li asked in surprise.

“I only found out about him when I went to the black market,” Chen Jianmin said.

After hesitating for a moment, he added, “Actually, I have seen him come to your house several times.”

As soon as these words came out, Dong Li narrowed his eyes and looked at him coldly. Even without saying a word, Chen Jianmin knew that if he did something to harm his family, Dong Li would never let him go.

Both of them are the same kind of people, so he understands his friend’s precautions against him.

He sighed and said, “Dong Li, although I am not a good person, you are my friend and your family has also given me a lot of help. I will never bite the hand that fed me. I’m not an ungrateful person.”
