When Li Chenmo entered the backyard, he saw his wife dozing off as she sat on the balcony. After washing away the dirt from his body, he walked over and squatted in front of her.
Reaching out, he touched her flushed cheeks and called her in a low voice, "Wife."
Hearing his voice, Lu Jueyu slowly opened her eyes. Seeing her husband smiling at her, she rubbed her eyes and asked, "Husband, did I fall asleep?"
Li Chenmo nodded and replied, "Mhmm, if you are sleepy, just go sleep in the bed. Why are you dozing off here?"
"I’m waiting for you for breakfast," Lu Jueyu said.
Hearing this, Li Chenmo helped his wife up and said, "Let’s have breakfast first, then you can go back to sleep."
"Okay."
After they finished their breakfast, the children went to school while Lu Jueyu went to take a nap. Meanwhile, Li Chenmo was building the greenhouse in the backyard when he saw his eldest brother and Zhang Ermu approaching.
Wiping the sweat on his brow, he went to open the gate and said, "Eldest Brother, Brother Ermu, please come in."
"Brother Chenmo, sorry for bothering you with my matter," Zhang Ermu said as he walked into the backyard.
"It’s not a bother. Is that the skin?" Li Chenmo asked, pointing at the sack carried by him.
Placing the sack down, Zhang Ermu nodded and said, "Brother Chenmo, I cleaned up the blood, but I don’t know how to tan the skin."
Hearing this, Li Chenmo nodded, opened the sack, and took out the skin. After checking it, he said, "This skin is not clean enough. There is still some meat and fat left. Brother Ermu, what do you plan to do with this?"
"I want to make a blanket with it," Zhang Ermu said.
Hearing this, Li Chenmo put the skin back into the sack and said, "It will take around two weeks before we can get the final product."
Zhang Ermu knew that tanning a skin would take a long time. Not to mention, since he wanted to make a blanket, they would need to clean the fur, making the process even more complicated.
He estimated it would take at least a month. So when he heard it would only take two weeks, he was delighted.
"Thank you for your help, Brother Chenmo," he said.
"You are welcome."
