Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1533: A Sudden Visit

Even though he would receive a reward when this matter was complete, with Zhang Ermu’s grandparents being labeled as the ’five black categories’, he wouldn’t get anything. Besides that, he didn’t want to make Zhang Yulan worried.

In the end, he decided to ask the Li family. In the entire production team, no one had better skill in tracking traces and remembering the mountain paths than Li Chenze. With the addition of his skills and his brothers’ skills in combat, the chance of them coming back alive would be higher.

With An Xuyuan leading the soldiers, the villagers came out from their houses to check what was going on. When they arrived at Father Li’s house, the curious villagers had already formed a crowd following behind them.

Knocking on the gate, An Xuyuan said, "Uncle Li, are you at home?"

A moment later, they heard someone saying from inside the house, "Who is it?"

When the gate was opened, Father Li was taken aback to see so many people coming to his house. He looked at the soldiers before he turned to An Xuyuan and asked, "Vice team leader, this... what is going on?"

"Uncle Li, we came today to ask Brother Chenze to help us with some matters," An Xuyuan replied.

Hearing this, Father Li stepped aside and said, "My son is in the backyard. Please come in."

The soldiers’ team leader nodded at him and followed him to the yard with An Xuyuan. As for the other soldiers, they waited outside while observing the curious villagers.

In the backyard, Li Chenze was cleaning up fish to make fish soup for his wife when he heard his father’s voice.

"Eldest son, the vice team leader is looking for you."

Hearing this, Li Chenze stopped what he was doing and turned around. Seeing that a soldier also came with them, he was surprised and asked, "Vice team leader, what brought you to my house? Do you need anything?"

"Comrade, we received a request from the production team regarding the wolves. Since we are unfamiliar with the area, we asked the vice team leader to recommend someone who knows the mountain’s path. That’s why we came to ask for your help to lead the way," the soldier’s team leader explained.

Li Chenze had already learned about what happened in the mountain from his second brother, and they had already guessed that the military would send people to investigate and handle the pack of wolves. But he never expected them to come find him.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Comrade, when do you plan to go to the mountain?"

"It’s better to go as soon as possible in case the wolves come down from the mountain and harm the villagers," the soldier replied.

When Father Li heard this, he looked at the soldier and asked, "Comrade, the mountain is dangerous and my eldest daughter-in-law just gave birth. Can’t you find someone else?"

The moment he said this, the soldier understood his concern. If something happened to Li Chenze, his wife would be devastated and it might harm her health.

Thinking about this, the soldier looked at An Xuyuan and asked, "Comrade, do you have another candidate?"

Before An Xuyuan could reply, Li Chenze said, "Father, don’t worry. There are so many people who will go to the mountains. With the soldiers present, we will be fine. After all, no matter how strong and fast the wolves are, they won’t be faster than a bullet."

Even though Father Li was still worried and had his concerns, he did feel more at ease after hearing his son’s words.

Noticing that his father was still reluctant to let him go, Li Chenze added, "Father, I will ask my second brother and my third brother to go with me. With the three of us together, nothing will happen."

Hearing this, Father Li knew that his eldest son was planning to lead the way and let out a long sigh as he said, "Be careful when you go."

Li Chenze nodded and turned to An Xuyuan. "Vice team leader, I have to prepare lunch for my wife first. Can we leave after lunch?"

"No problem," An Xuyuan nodded.

Since they would depart in one or two hours, he brought the soldiers back to the production team’s office so they could take a rest. Afterward, he asked Han Jinhe to buy some food for the soldiers.

Due to the slippery road, Han Jinhe didn’t go to the county town’s state-owned restaurant but went to visit Chen Jianmin’s family and bought some food from them.

When he returned to the office, he brought back two baskets of steamed buns with vegetables and egg filling. As for the side dishes, there was a bowl of spicy pickled vegetables and a plate of stir-fried cabbage with pork lard residue.

The moment the soldiers saw the dishes, they were surprised and the team leader asked, "Comrade, where did you get these dishes?"

"I bought them from the villagers," Han Jinhe replied with a smile. frёewebηovel.cѳm

"The villagers still have fresh vegetables this season?" one of the soldiers asked.

"The Li family built greenhouses using bamboo and experimented with summer crops. Whenever they have a harvest, the villagers exchange something for their vegetables," Han Jinhe explained.

Most of the soldiers had heard about the bamboo greenhouses, as the military barracks had also built some. But they never thought that villagers would also build greenhouses. After all, the matter regarding the greenhouses was coming from the capital and was still in the experimental stage.

Noticing their disbelief, Han Jinhe said with a hint of pride, "The bamboo greenhouses are Comrade Li Chenmo and his wife’s ideas. Thanks to their contribution, we don’t have to worry about having no vegetables to eat during winter now."

Hearing this, the soldiers were stunned. They had always thought that the one contributing to the idea of the bamboo greenhouse was someone from the capital. Unexpectedly, it was a villager.
