Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1102

At the pigpen, only Li Chenmo, Chen Jianmin, and Chen Jianguo were cleaning it.

While shoveling manure, Li Chenmo said, "Jianmin, Jianguo, later bring your family to the village hall after school. The banquet will start at two o’clock this afternoon."

Chen Jianmin nodded and said, "Uncle, we will come earlier to help."

"No need to worry. We have enough helpers."

After their brief conversation, Chen Jianguo glanced at his brother and admired how good he was at building relationships.

Thanks to his brother, their family had been included in the guest list for the Li family’s wedding banquet. Just thinking about the important figures invited to the event filled him with pride.

Unaware of his brother’s thoughts, Chen Jianmin was simply looking forward to a good meal. Together, they finished cleaning the pigpen in an hour.

Before they left, Li Chenmo said, "Your Aunt Li made plenty of breakfast. Eat before you go back."

Used to eating at his house, Chen Jianmin didn’t refuse and readily agreed. "Thank you, Uncle Li."

Li Chenmo nodded but said nothing. He appreciated Chen Jianmin’s directness—it made interactions comfortable.

Looking at the boy, a smile appeared on his face. He is a good seedling. Letting him use his name to build connections with Houzi was worth it.

When they returned, Lu Jueyu, Dong Li, and Dong Huang had just finished harvesting vegetables. Looking at the several baskets of produce in the backyard, Chen Jianguo fell into deep thought.

He knew that some vegetables could be harvested multiple times before wilting, but the vegetables grown by the Li family seemed to have a longer lifespan and higher yields.

Initially, he thought it was due to their fertilizer. However, even after using the same fertilizer, his family’s vegetables couldn’t match the yield or taste of the Li family’s crops.

He glanced at the soil thoughtfully, then shifted his gaze to the small pond near the backyard gate. His family used well water, while the Li family used water from a mountain spring.

’Is it because of the water?’ he wondered.

Noticing his absentmindedness, Chen Jianmin asked, "Jianguo, what’s wrong?"

Snapping out of his thoughts, Chen Jianguo shook his head and replied, "Brother, I was thinking about whether we could also use mountain spring water. The water at Uncle Li’s house tastes much better than ours."

Dong Li overheard and said, "It will be hard to use mountain spring water for your house. Your house is located in the village, and it’s far from the mountain. You would need a lot of bamboo pipes to connect a waterway. Not only would it take a lot of effort, but you would also need permission from the production team and the villagers."

"Jianguo, why do you suddenly want to use mountain spring water?" Chen Jianmin asked curiously.
