Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1476

Hearing this, the government staff felt ashamed and one of them quickly said, "Comrade Li, you are too polite. It's us who came uninvited."

After they took their seats, Lu Jueyu said, "Comrades, please treat this place as your home. Don't be polite and eat more."

Even if she said so, they didn't dare to move their chopsticks after seeing the food on the table. Besides the thin millet porridge, there were only several whole wheat steamed buns and a small plate of pickled vegetables.

Seeing this, one of the government staff asked, "Comrade Li, your family's situation is not better than others. Why did you donate so many supplies to the military barracks?"

Li Chenmo smiled at his words and said, "It's okay for my family to eat less, as we can find something from the mountain foothills to fill our stomachs if we are hungry. But the soldiers have to train and do missions."

"What's more, the soldiers put their lives on the line to protect us. If they couldn't have a full meal, how could they have the strength to fight?"

After he said this, Lu Jueyu said with a smile, "Husband, let's eat first before the food turns cold."

Hearing this, Li Chenmo smiled and said, "Okay."

Since there were guests at home, Dong Li took his sister out to play after cleaning up the table and washing the dishes.

As for Lu Jueyu, she was a married woman, and it was inconvenient for her to be around so many men. So, after breakfast, she returned to her bedroom and entered her space to make some snacks and do some light exercises.

While his wife was relaxing inside the space, Li Chenmo showed the greenhouses to Jiang Zemin and the government staff.

They examined the bamboo buildings and pipes. Noticing the bamboo poles placed above the soil, Jiang Zemin asked, "Brother Li, what are these bamboo poles used for?"

"These are used for irrigation. We are using a drip irrigation system to save water and labor," Li Chenmo replied.

Taking a closer look and noticing the small holes along the bamboo waterways, one staff member asked, "Comrade Li, where is the water source?"

"These bamboo pipes are connected to the pipe leading from the water vat near the river. I fill the vat once every three days. Since the water goes directly into the soil, it increases absorption and conserves water," Li Chenmo explained.

Hearing this, another staff member asked, "Comrade Li, why didn't you include this irrigation system in your report?"

Li Chenmo smiled and replied, "It's not that I didn't want to include it, but it's still in the testing phase. I don't yet know its full effectiveness or any drawbacks. Before I collect more data, I wouldn't dare report it to the brigade."

Jiang Zemin nodded at his words and said, "Brother Li, I really admire you. You always consider the country and its people. I will report this to the brigade secretary later."

"Brother Jiang, I'm not doing this for rewards or recognition. As long as our people can fill their bellies, that's the best reward for me and my family," Li Chenmo said modestly.

As soon as he finished his words, one of the government staff stepped forward. He bowed at him and said, "Comrade Li, I misunderstood you earlier. I apologize for my previous rude behavior."
