Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1414

Realizing the food was getting cold, Wu Yahui quickly said, "Look at me—so forgetful! Eldest Sister-in-law, good nephews, let's eat first."

"Thank you, Second Sister-in-law," Wei Zhiying replied gratefully.

While they were eating, Chen Jianmin said, "Mother, Father, my second aunt bought some ingredients from the county town. I have stored them in the kitchen. With that, we don't need to worry about food for the next month or two."

Chen Gang was taken aback by his son's words. He looked at his sister-in-law and said, "Eldest Sister-in-law, how can we accept your things?"

Wei Zhiying put down her chopsticks and said, "Second Brother, my son and I may have to stay here for a few months. It's only right for us to prepare our own food. We can't just eat yours while living here."

Hearing this, Wu Yahui felt even more at ease. She wasn't afraid of having more relatives and only afraid of unreasonable and greedy ones.

After dinner, the discussion about whether to accept or refuse Wei Zhiying and her sons was quietly dropped, as Wu Yahui had already welcomed them during the meal.

From that day onward, the mother and sons slowly began adapting to rural life in Xie Village. Compared to the city, life in the village was much simpler—but also more fulfilling.

Although they weren't registered in Xie Village's household registry, they still went to the farmland every day to help Chen Gang and his family plant the winter wheat. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

Thanks to their hard work, the family was able to earn the maximum number of work points each day, making the other villagers envious.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed, and the 12th production team finally completed planting all the farmland.

On September 15, 1974, autumn officially began, and it was now less than two months until the start of winter.

Early that morning, Song Li and his sons rang the bell at Li Chenmo's house and waited patiently outside.

After waiting for a while, the gate was opened, and Dong Li said, "Uncle, Cousins, you are here. Please come inside—we have been waiting for you."

Hearing this, Song Li felt embarrassed and asked, "Have you been waiting long?"

"We just finished packing up the tools, so it hasn't been long," Dong Li replied.

When they reached the backyard, Song Li was surprised to see not only members of the Lu and Li families but also Chen Jianmin's family.

"Uncle, my uncles, friends, and cousins will help us harvest the paddy," Dong Li explained.

"Besides that paddy field, we still have to harvest sorghum, corn, potatoes, wheat, and another paddy field. Father said autumn has already begun, and if we don't get more help, we won't be able to harvest everything in time," he added.

Hearing this, Song Li was stunned. "That much?" he exclaimed.

Nodding, Dong Li said, "So even after we divide the grains, everyone should still be able to get around 300 to 400 kilograms of grain."

By his calculations, today marked the 73rd day of her pregnancy—just over ten weeks. Although her morning sickness had eased, she still felt weak if she worked too long. So, he always worried about leaving her alone at home.

Seeing her husband's concern, Lu Jueyu smiled and replied, "Husband, I know what to do. Go to work with peace of mind. It's getting late—don't keep everyone waiting."

"Okay," Li Chenmo said reluctantly.

After giving his wife a kiss, he finally left the house and headed to the mountains.

Today, Chen Jianmin not only brought Chen Jianguo along but also dragged Chen Mingze with him.

This was Chen Mingze's first time going up the mountain, so he was slower than the rest. Whenever they had to climb a steep path, Chen Jianmin would push him from behind and help steady his footing.

To save time, Li Chenmo led them along a shortcut, but the road became even more difficult. For those used to trekking in the mountains, it was nothing—but for Chen Mingze, it nearly brought him to his knees.

Panting heavily and looking pale, he struggled to keep up. Seeing this, Chen Jianmin clicked his tongue and said, "How is it that you, who is healthier than Jianguo, can't even keep up? Look how agile Jianguo is."

Turning his head, Chen Mingze saw Chen Jianguo—born with a weak body—walking with ease, even helping carry his tools. Seeing this, he felt ashamed and muttered, "It's because I grew up in the city. If I had grown up here, I would be able to walk as easily as you."

Hearing this, Chen Jianmin gave him a side glance and said, "Before you start bragging, steady your breath first. The way you are gasping, if someone didn't know better, they would think you were on your deathbed."
