Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1236

Zhang Yulan nodded at An Xuyuan’s words and added, "After we finish foraging in this area, I want to check out another place."

"There is still another place?" An Xuyuan asked in surprise.

He knew the mountains were full of resources, but he hadn’t expected them to be this abundant.

"There are a lot of places with wild vegetables, mushrooms, medicinal herbs, and even grains. I want to look around. If we are lucky, we might find a field of grains," Zhang Yulan said as she put down her bamboo basket and started harvesting mushrooms.

Hearing this, An Xuyuan’s mind filled with ideas. He hoped they really would be lucky enough to stumble upon a field of grains. If they could find wild grains, they might be able to solve the seed shortage before planting began.

As they foraged, he kept glancing at the girl. Even though she was much younger than him, he couldn’t figure her out at all, unlike most people. It wasn’t because she had a deep mind, but because she was so straightforward that he never knew what she would do next.

Being with someone as simple as her was unexpectedly relaxing even though she was unpredictable. He didn’t have to overthink or guard against people’s schemes or plots.

Half an hour later, Zhang Yulan filled her bamboo basket. Turning to look at the man who was working silently, she asked, "Vice team leader, are you done?"

Hearing this, An Xuyuan looked at her for a moment before he suddenly asked, "Comrade Zhang, do you know my name?"

Taken aback by his question, Zhang Yulan was speechless. She had never cared to ask, so how could she know?

Seeing her embarrassment, he knew she didn’t know his name and said, "An Xuyuan."

"Huh?" Zhang Yulan looked at him in confusion.

"My name is An Xuyuan. You don’t have to keep calling me ’vice team leader.’ Just calling me by my name is fine."

The moment she heard this, Zhang Yulan quickly waved her hands and said, "That won’t do! You are the vice team leader, and you are much older than me. Calling you by name would be impolite!"

Hearing her words, An Xuyuan frowned and said, "I’m only 25 years old, three years younger than your brother. How can you say I’m much older than you?"

"You are still seven years older than me. Asking me to call you by name—are you trying to look younger?" Zhang Yulan muttered under her breath.

An Xuyuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "What did you say?"

"Ah? Nothing!" Zhang Yulan replied instantly.

Raising his head, An Xuyuan glanced at the sun and said, "It’s almost noon. If you want to visit another place, we should hurry."
