Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 395

After listening to her words, the villagers realized that what she said was possible. Everyone knows that Lu Jueyu never does farm work and is also very picky about her food. It’s normal for her to find ways to get more food.

While the villagers were talking about them, Li Chenmo and Dong Li had returned and were unloading things. They moved clothes and belongings to Dong Li and Dong Huang’s room. As for farm tools and utensils, they were moved to the kitchen and woodshed.

After they finished, Lu Jueyu let the children go out to play, while she and her husband went to her space. The two rested in the space for a while, and then Li Chenmo went to the brigade office.

Since both Dong Li and Dong Huang finally had time to play for the first time, they were both at a loss. Often, they are so busy earning work points or looking for food that they don’t even have time to take a short break. But now, they suddenly have lots of time to nap and even play.

Since they had no friends, the brother and sister walked to the river and sat there watching the children catch fish and shrimp. Dong Huang watched with interest and asked, "Brother, can we catch fish too?"

Dong Li looked at the river’s current and said, "It’s dangerous to go in the river. If Xiao Huang wants to fish, Brother will help you make a fishing rod. We can sit on the river bank and fish at the same time."

Although she was a little disappointed because she couldn’t play in the water, Dong Huang always listened to her brother’s words. So she nodded and said, "Brother, let’s go catch some bugs for bait."

Dong Li breathed a sigh of relief when his sister no longer insisted on going to the river. The two went to the foothills to catch some worms for bait. After that, they went to find bamboo and some dried vine to be used as fishing line.

Dong Li chose a bamboo cane 1,7 meters long and 2 centimeters in diameter, and cut off the base. Then he took out a small dagger from his clothes. He always carries this small dagger with him for protection. He used his dagger to trim away the leaves and nubs.

Although the fishing rod must be dried before use, they only use it to catch small fish. So, after he tied up the dry vine, they walked to the river. They chose a shady spot upstream, tied the bait to dry vines, and threw it into the river.

The bamboo and dried vine they used were from near the pit where Li Chenmo kept pig manure. So, the insects that eat vegetation near the pits also become fatter and more attractive to fish because of the effect of the pig manure.

Dong Huang looked at her fishing rod and didn’t blink for a long time. Just when she thought the fish wouldn’t eat the bait, she saw a fat fish swimming over. She didn’t dare to take a big breath for fear of scaring the fish away, so she covered her mouth with her palms.
