Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1095

Hearing his wife’s soft voice, Li Chenmo opened his eyes and said, "I will get some water for you."

Before she could respond, he kissed her softly and got up to pour water from the thermos flask. He handed her the water and said, "Wife, it’s not yet dawn. You should go back to sleep."

Lu Jueyu drank the water and nodded. Still feeling sleepy, she went back to bed and fell asleep in no time.

Meanwhile, Li Chenmo was now wide awake. He covered his wife with a thin blanket before heading to the kitchen to boil some water to wash up.

Although it was summer, their house was located on a hill surrounded by trees and vegetation. So, it had cooler nights and mornings. If his wife slept without a blanket, she might catch a cold.

While waiting for the water to boil, he went to the chicken coop to collect eggs and refill the feed and water.

He already knew that the drinking water and water used to water their gardens came from his wife’s space, while the water used for bathing and washing was from a mountain spring. So, he refilled the chicken water bowl with space water.

After refilling the chickens’ water and feed, he went to check the six large water vats behind the kitchen. Five were nearly empty, so he made a mental note to remind his wife later.

When the sky turned a reddish hue, Lu Jueyu finally woke up. Sitting on the bed in a daze, she blinked a few times before regaining her senses. Before leaving the room, she braided her hair and tied a headscarf.

Although married women commonly tied headscarves to keep their hair clean while working, her modern styling gave her a youthful look instead of the dull, boring look often display by the villagers.

When she stepped into the backyard, she saw her husband washing his face with his back facing her. Walking over to him, she hugged his waist from behind and said, "Good morning, husband."

Feeling her soft embrace, Li Chenmo wiped his face with a towel, turned around, and gave her a kiss before he said, "Good morning, wife."

"I will get some hot water for you to wash up," he added.

Lu Jueyu nodded and went to get her toothbrush and face soap. When she returned, her husband had already prepared a basin of water for her. As she brushed her teeth, he said, "Wife, we are down to one vat of drinking water."

She rinsed her mouth and replied, "I will fill it."

After washing her face, she went to the back of the kitchen to check on the water vats. Each vat could store about 4,000 liters of water which was enough to last a week for drinking and gardening.

To make the refill process easier, she placed the empty vats into her space. Then, she flashed into the space and filled the water vats with the water from the lake using her mind.

When she was done, she left the space and took out the water vats. It took her half an hour inside the space to fill the vats but only 30 seconds passed in real time.

Thinking about the upcoming wedding banquet, she decided to add two more water vats. Satisfied with her water supplies, she smiled and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

"Good."

Looking at the little girls, Chen Jianmin looked at his brother and said, "Xiao Bai, you stay to help Aunt Li. Jianguo and I will go help Uncle Li."

"Okay," Chen Jianbai nodded.

Everyone in their family knew that it was Li Chenmo and his family who helped them when they were in a bad situation. So, when Chen Jianmin told his parents that he wanted to come every morning to help, they agreed.

After all, they couldn’t take other people’s things without giving something in return. Since they couldn’t give material things back, they decided to return the favor with labor. As for the work at their own home, it was shared between Chen Gang and Wu Yahui.

When they entered the house, Chen Jianmin closed the gate and walked to the backyard with Chen Jianguo.

Seeing them, Dong Li said, "My father already went to the pig pen. We should go over too."

"Okay," Chen Jianmin nodded and followed after him.

In the pigpen, Li Chenmo and his brother were busy shoveling pig manure when they saw the boys come over.
