Chen Jianmin suppressed his laughter until his body trembled, and said, "Your sister is so cute. She is much more interesting than my sister."
Dong Li ignored him and quickly caught up with his sister. It took him a long time to coax her. It wasn’t until he agreed to take her fishing that she forgave him for treating her like an object.
Meanwhile at Su Lide’s house, Houzi was sitting on the balcony helping his cousin cut bamboo and make baskets. Since they couldn’t bring everything from their previous home, they could only make new bamboo baskets and utensils.
Fortunately, there is a bamboo forest on the other side of the river. Although the location is hard to access and the ground is very slippery, bamboo grows densely there. They brought back lots of bamboo shoots and mushrooms to add to their dishes.
At this time, Meng Qiaoping and Su Lanying were making pickled bamboo shoots in the kitchen while Su Lide went to Li Chenmo’s house. They used a large water tank to pickle all the bamboo shoots picked by Su Jian and Houzi.
While they were busy, Su Lide had arrived at Li Chenmo’s house and knocked on the door. Not long after, the door opened and Lu Jueyu walked out from behind the door.
Lu Jueyu looked at him and smiled, "Uncle Su, what brings you here today? Do you need anything?"
"I’m looking for Nephew Li. Is he at home?" Su Lide asked.
"My husband is in the backyard. Uncle Su, please come in." Lu Jueyu said, inviting him in.
After Su Lide entered the house, Lu Jueyu closed and locked the door. When they walked to the living room, Li Chenmo walked out of the woodshed.
Seeing a guest coming to the house, he wiped his sweat, walked over and asked, "Uncle Su, what brings you here today?"
"I heard from the team leader that you and your brother raised pigs and there was a lot of manure. I was wondering if I could ask some of it? My family wants to grow summer vegetables, but the soil has not been maintained for a long time and needs to be prepared first," Su Lide explained.
Hearing this, Li Chenmo nodded and said, "Of course. The pigs produce a lot of manure every day. If Uncle Su is in a hurry, I can take you to the pit where we now store the processed manure."
"If you need fertilizer in the future, you can just go there and get it. There is no need to notify me or my brothers," he added.
Su Lide was surprised by his offer. He heard from Han Yuheng that Li Chenmo’s pig manure was used as fertilizer by several production teams and highly regarded by the brigade’s leader.
Since the government even selected his pig manure, it means that the quality of his pig manure is better than that used by the government.
Due to the limited amount of pig manure they could process, except for the Li family and the Lu family, there is basically no excess for others.
By letting him take the pig manure as he pleases, Li Chenmo was giving him part of his portion of fertilizer. Since his family is new here, the villagers still treat them as outsiders. So, this help is very timely for them.
