Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1542

Chapter 1542: Prospective Partner

When dawn arrived, Li Chenmo woke up and went to the pig pen with his son. As for his wife and daughter, the two of them were still sleeping.

In the winter, daytime was shorter, so even though it was already five o’clock in the morning, the sky was still dark. Holding onto a flashlight, he saw the fluttering snow slowly fall to the ground and pile up into a thick layer.

As they walked to the pig pen, only the crunching sound of ice breaking under their feet could be heard. Thinking about the New Year that was only one month away, Li Chenmo said, "During this period, we have to keep the pigs warm and feed them well."

Dong Li also calculated the time and knew that in around three weeks, it would be meat distribution day. By then, the pigs would be slaughtered, and they would receive the work points. Thinking about receiving the fruit of their labor made him feel excited.

"Understood," he nodded.

When they arrived at the pig pen, Chen Jianmin, Chen Jianguo, Li Chenze, and Li Lingyun were already there. Since they didn’t have any electricity, they could only use an oil lamp to light up the surroundings.

The dim lighting was only enough for them to see the rough situation around them. Li Chenmo hung the flashlight he was holding and used it as a lamp. With the flashlight illuminating the pen, he extinguished the oil lamp for safety reasons.

They piled up lots of dried straw to keep the pigs warm. If the oil lamp fell, it would cause a fire, so it was better to put it away and use a flashlight instead.

Due to the cold weather, they worked faster than usual so they could go back earlier. Everyone didn’t talk much, but Chen Jianmin noticed that the water used for the pigs’ drinking water was not frozen.

He reached out to touch it and realized that it was warm. Feeling curious, he asked, "Uncle Chenmo, how can the pigs’ drinking water not turn into ice?"

Hearing this, Li Chenmo replied, "It’s underground water coming from the mountain spring. We also don’t know the reason why the water is warm during winter and cold during summer."

Chen Jianmin looked at the water thoughtfully for a moment before he resumed working. After they cleaned up the pen and mixed the fertilizer, they left the pen at sunrise.

When Li Chenmo and Dong Li returned to their house, Lu Jueyu and Dong Huang had woken up. At this moment, the mother and daughter were busy cooking breakfast in the kitchen.

Due to her big belly, Lu Jueyu only prepared a simple meal for the family: meat steamed buns, warm soy milk, vegetable and egg porridge, scallion pancakes, and fruit juice.

After washing up, the family sat together on the kang bed in Li Chenmo’s bedroom. With the heated kang, they didn’t feel cold and could enjoy their meal.

While they were eating, Li Chenmo said, "Wife, later I have to go out to deliver some flour, vegetables, and jerky to the production team."

Lu Jueyu was taken aback when she heard her husband’s words and asked, "Husband, why did you suddenly send those things?"
