Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1187

After she injured her leg, Mother Zhang always felt like a burden to her son. Now, seeing him finally get what his heart desired made her truly happy.

Noticing her son’s tiredness, she said, "Alright, you should rest now. We will talk about this tomorrow."

Zhang Ermu nodded and helped his mother to her bedroom. Afterward, he returned to his own room and lay on the bed. Though his body was tired, he was too excited to sleep. His mind raced all night before he finally drifted off just before dawn.

Early the next morning, Li Chenmo and his family woke up before dawn to begin their usual morning routine. Since they had nearly harvested all the vegetables in the garden, Dong Li accompanied his father to the pigpen.

Today, their plan was to till their garden’s soil and fertilize it.

When they arrived in the pigpen, Li Chenze, Li Lingyun, Chen Jianmin, and Chen Jianguo were already there.

Seeing his uncles, Dong Li greeted them, "Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle."

Chen Jianmin and Chen Jianguo also greeted Li Chenmo, "Good morning, Uncle Li."

Li Chenmo nodded at them, then turned to his brothers and asked, "Eldest Brother, if you are free today, can you come to my house to help me build the greenhouse?"

Hearing this, Li Chenze nodded and replied. "Second Brother mentioned you were building a greenhouse. I will come over later."

"Uncle Li, can I come over to help after school?" Chen Jianmin asked.

Li Chenmo glanced at him, recognizing the boy’s eagerness to learn how to build a greenhouse. Since Jianmin was his son’s good friend, he didn’t mind teaching him.

"It would be great if you could help. I plan to finish the greenhouse before autumn so I can plant crops," Li Chenmo said with a nod.

Delighted with his words, Chen Jianmin said, "Uncle Li, I will come with Jianguo."

"Good."

When they were done chatting, everyone turned their focus to their work. After they filled up the cart, Li Chenmo brought Dong Li to the mountain pit to bring back some fertilizer.

At the pit, Li Chenmo poured the pig manure into an empty pit and pulled a small package of herbal powder from his pocket. He showed it to Dong Li and said, "Xiao Li, this is a herbal powder your mother made. It’s part of our family’s secret recipe for mixing fertilizer."

Dong Li nodded silently and said nothing. For his father to share this secret showed trust, and he resolved to keep it without asking unnecessary questions.

Seeing his son’s silence, Li Chenmo raised an eyebrow and asked, "Xiao Li, don’t you have any questions?"

Shaking his head, Dong Li replied, "Father, I won’t ask."
