Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

The next morning.

After finishing up the tasks in Duanshan Village, Lu Chuan and Meng Tong headed towards the town.

With the three children now in Sheng Bing's care, and with tigers and wolves watching over them, Lu Chuan and Meng Tong felt very reassured.

The two of them strolled along at a leisurely pace, chatting for a long time on the quiet road.

The two parted ways after arriving in town; Lu Chuan went to Zhujia Village, while Meng Tong went to Xiangshui Village.

After the land in Xiangshui Village was plowed and seeds were planted, Wu Biao and Mingyu came to Duanshan Village to look for Meng Tong once.

His meaning was simple: they couldn't stay idle in Xiangshui Village, so they wanted to go to other villages and cultivate the land.

Meng Tong had no objection to such a positive request, so now more than 20 people, including Mingyu, have gone to Zhujia Village.

Lu Chuan got along well with them, and Meng Tong didn't want to restrict him, so she let him go over and help out these past few days, which also allowed him to get to know everyone.

"My dear wife, please be careful. I'll come to Xiangshui Village to see you in a couple of days."

“Yes, I know.” Meng Tong chuckled and looked up at Lu Chuan, saying, “The grain in Xiangshui Village should be ripe soon. We’ll have to have Wu Biao and the others come to collect it. Tell them when you go.”

"it is good."

"Okay, I'll head over there then."

As Lu Chuan walked along the path towards Xiangshui Village, he watched her figure disappear from his sight before lowering his eyes and heading towards Zhujia Village.

……

Xiangshui Village.

The boundless fields were planted with all kinds of grains, and Meng Tong couldn't take it all in with her eyes along the way.

Meng Tong casually opened a bag of corn, pinched a kernel with his hand, and the fragrant juice burst out, the kernels were very plump.

If you're just eating tender corn, this is enough. But if you want to make cornmeal, it will take some more time.

After harvesting about an acre of tender corn into his space, Meng Tong continued to look at other grains.

Rice and wheat are already established crops, so there's no need to worry. They're growing very well, and the rice ears are all plump and full.

Judging from the current output, it is likely to be more than double that of before.

After looking around at all the grains, Meng Tong collected some of whatever he wanted to eat and could eat, and then went to the house where they had lived before.

Because Meng Tong and Lu Chuan would come every few days, there were also rooms for two people here.

Pushing open the door, all you see is a lonely bed, a table, and two chairs; there's nothing else, not even a blanket.

Frowning slightly, Meng Tong searched his spatial storage and found two clean blankets to lay out. The woman lay down on them to rest for a while, while also absorbing plant energy.

……

Zhujia Village.

Before Lu Chuan could even say anything upon arriving at the place, Wu Biao, who already considered him a buddy, handed him a hoe.

"Brother Chuan is here. We're going to clear some land today, why don't you come with us?"

"Why didn't Madam come with you?"

Carrying a hoe, Lu Chuan followed behind Wu Biao and replied softly, "She went to Xiangshui Village to check on your crops. They should be ripe soon."

"what?"

Wu Biao froze and turned his head, his eyes filled with shock. "Wasn't it only planted a short time ago? How could it be ripe already? Rice takes two or three months to mature. Brother Chuan, are you mistaken?"

With a hint of teasing in their tone, the two talked as they walked.

Lu Chuan remained silent for a long time, organizing his thoughts before finally speaking, "These seeds are different. They have been researched by my wife and can shorten their maturation period, maturing in just about a month."

"Really?" Wu Biao asked, somewhat incredulously.

Lu Chuan, unable to hide his pride, continued, "The harvest in Duanshan Village is already complete. You'll know when you return to Xiangshui Village in seven or eight days."

In the past, Lu Chuan would have thought it was outrageous, but this was something he had seen with his own eyes. No matter how much he was told, no one would believe it, so he might as well see it for himself.

Wu Biao couldn't imagine such a scene, but Lu Chuan didn't seem like a liar, and a strong sense of anticipation arose in his heart.

After clearing the wasteland in Zhujia Village for four whole days, Lu Chuan, Ming Yu, and the others got to know each other well. They went out to work together every day and cooked and chatted together in the evening. They felt no pressure and their faces were full of happy smiles.

This was a scene Lu Chuan hadn't experienced in a very long time, and the man was quite deeply moved for a moment.

At the dinner table, while enjoying a fairly decent stew, Lu Chuan told Meng Tong that he and Meng Tong were about to go out.

The once lively courtyard suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at him with incomprehension.

It's like saying, "Are you out of your minds?"

Although things have improved now, no one knows the true situation, and just imagining it is absolutely terrible.

Mingyu paused his chopsticks, his eyelashes fluttering slightly. He then looked up at Lu Chuan and asked, "Brother Chuan and your wife mean to go out and sell the grain they've stockpiled?"

"……Yes."

"For such a big matter, do you need any help? We can help. It must be very tiring with so much food."

“No need,” Lu Chuan refused. “Madam has already come up with a plan. You just need to do your own thing.”

The man changed the subject, and everyone tactfully refrained from asking further questions.

He simply said, "Be careful."

Lu Chuan was quite moved by this, feeling as if he had been remembered by everyone.

The next day, after waving goodbye to Wu Biao and the others, Meng Tong went directly to Xiangshui Village.

Meng Tong has been there for the past few days. While looking after the grain, she also found several retro threshing machines in her space.

It does require more effort than electric power, but it's still much faster than if the Great Wei Kingdom were to use pure brute force to strike.

Meng Tong didn't dare bring the electric one to Xiangshui Village, so Liu could only choose the foot-operated one for them.

During her absence, we can harvest the grain more quickly and efficiently, and continue planting when she returns!

The threshing machine was placed in a wooden hut on one side of their house, and Meng Tong wrote a detailed instruction manual for Ming Yu.

"Miss."

"Why did you come here? I was just thinking of going to find you!"

After tidying up her things, Meng Tong turned to look at the man who had approached her.

"How's it going over there? How's their progress?"

"That's great, we've cleared nearly ten acres of land already." Holding Meng Tong's hand, Lu Chuan kissed the corner of the woman's lips, then glanced at the neatly arranged items and asked, "What are these things?"

"It's a threshing machine, used to thresh rice ears and such."

"Hmm? I haven't seen you take it out and use it before, my wife. Will this...?"

"No," Meng Tong said. "I found it by chance. It's more convenient for them to keep it here. Neither of us needs it at home."

Thinking about what she said, Lu Chuan nodded.

There is a "mill" in the family.
