Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1165

Fortunately, Lu Jueyu had stayed with her husband. Otherwise, he might have been startled awake just like them and have a headache later.

What she didn’t know was that if she hadn’t been there, Li Chenmo would only have rested with his eyes closed but not truly fallen asleep. Her presence had given him a sense of security, allowing him to relax fully.

Thanks to the half-hour nap, Li Chenmo felt energized and refreshed during the second half of work. In contrast to the sluggish villagers, whose pace had slowed in the afternoon heat, his work efficiency increased.

When a production staff member tasked with monitoring work attitudes observed this, they nodded approvingly and recorded a high grade next to his name.

In their brigade, receiving a good grade came with rewards in the form of extra work points during the distribution day. This was a relatively new, hidden rule known only to the production team staff.

On the other hand, those who were lazy or constantly found ways to shirk their duties earned bad grades. If their grades fell below average, their work points were deducted as punishment. Those with connections who learned about this rule worked diligently, hoping to secure high grades during the harvest season.

This new rule stemmed from a casual remark by Chen Jianmin during a conversation with Li Shu. Their discussion had been overheard by Xie Xuanzi, who then brought the idea to the brigade secretary. Unexpectedly, the suggestion was well-received and swiftly implemented.

If this rule proved successful in improving the brigade’s work efficiency, the brigade secretary planned to submit the idea to the capital for consideration, potentially implementing it out nationwide.

When Lu Jueyu arrived home, she rested briefly in her space before continuing to harvest vegetables. Since they planned to build greenhouses soon, she aimed to finish harvesting as quickly as possible. Taking advantage of being alone at home, she used modern tools, which significantly increased her efficiency.

Just as Lu Jueyu finished harvesting another plot of the vegetable garden, she heard the sound of the gate opening and knew her children had returned from school. She quickly stored the modern tools back into her space.

Not long after, her children walked over, accompanied by their cousins and friends. Besides Chen Jianmin and his siblings, Feng Lin, Liu Fuyan, and her younger brother were also present.

When the children saw her, they greeted her cheerfully, "Auntie!"

"Mother, we are back," Dong Huang and Dong Li said in unison.

Seeing that they were sweaty and flushed from the heat, Lu Jueyu nodded and said, "Go wash off the sweat and grab some herbal tea to drink. There is also snow fungus soup in the jar by the pond for dessert."

Hearing about the sweet dessert, Dong Huang trotted over to hug her mother’s leg. Looking up with a sweet smile, she said, "Thank you, Mother."

Lu Jueyu smiled at her little cotton-padded jacket and rubbed her daughter’s soft hair gently.

"Mother, our cousins and friends came to help us harvest the vegetables," Dong Li said.

"Third Aunt, we heard you and Third Uncle are planning to build greenhouses. So, we came to help harvest the vegetables and assist with the greenhouses," said Li Jingqian with a grin.
