Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1367

While everyone was lining up to register their names, Li Chenmo and Song Li's family were busy harvesting the paddy in the mountains.

Today, he had brought a cart and parked it at the mountain foothills. So, they only needed to transport the sacks there, and then use the cart to bring them to his house. This method saved a lot of time.

The task of transporting the sacks was given to Song Li, while Li Chenmo and Song Wen harvested the paddy. As for threshing and packing the rice into sacks, that was left to Song Min.

At noon, they took a break and had lunch together. Sitting under an old tree, Li Chenmo handed out waterskins and said, "Brother-in-law, my wife prepared some honey water for everyone to replenish our energy."

Hearing this, Song Li didn't refuse and said, "Brother-in-law, please thank my cousin for me."

"Brother-in-law, we are family. There is no need to be so polite—it only makes us feel distant," Li Chenmo replied.

Song Li chuckled and nodded, "You are right, it does sound too distant. Then I won't be polite with you anymore, Brother-in-law."

As they chatted, they took out the lunches their wives had prepared. While Zhao Ya could only make cornbread with pickles for her husband and sons, Lu Jueyu had prepared a lavish meal for hers.

There was steamed rice with pandan leaves, Mapo tofu, roasted fish, stir-fried pole beans with pork, braised mushrooms and bok choy with oyster sauce, and pork blood soup.

The soup was stored in a thermos, so when Li Chenmo poured it into bamboo bowls, it was still steaming.

Seeing the amount of food being taken out of the bamboo basket, Song Li asked with surprise, "Brother-in-law, can you finish all that by yourself?"

Li Chenmo chuckled when he heard his words and said, "Brother-in-law, my wife made this for all of us. I can't eat it alone and it would be a waste if I didn't finish it. So help me finish everything."

After he said that, he handed them each a bowl of pork blood soup and said, "Brother-in-law, you can get the rice yourselves."

Then he scooped a big bowl of rice for himself and started eating. Seeing how casually he treated them, Song Li nodded to his sons and took a sip of the pork blood soup.

The moment he drank the soup, his stomach felt warm, and the hunger pains lessened. With the discomfort gone, his appetite returned in full force. Without holding back, he scooped bowls of rice for his sons and himself and ate with delish.

After they finished eating, they rested under the tree and napped for half an hour before returning to their work.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Dong Li came to the paddy field with his cousins and the Chen brothers to find his father.

Seeing them coming over, Li Chenmo asked, "Ah Li, why are you here? Did something happen at home?"

"Father, there is a village meeting at 4 o'clock, so I came to let you know and help you harvest the paddy," Dong Li replied.

"Third Uncle, we came to help you," Li Jingqian added.
