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

noon.

After eating fresh mushroom stewed chicken and fragrant hazel mushrooms, Meng Tong was in a particularly good mood all day.

After taking a nap, he took Lu He and Lu Yan, along with Sheng Yuanyuan and Xiao Song, to the open space behind the house.

The entire open space is about ten acres in size. It had been plowed once before, originally intended for planting medicinal herbs, but it was later left for Sheng Tao and his group to mess around with.

A few days ago, Jiang Zhu got some vegetable seeds from Meng Tong and planted them. She also planted some other seeds that she brought from Dawn Island.

It occupied less than three acres of land in total, and the rest has been left vacant.

Thinking of the bayberry tree and wild persimmon tree that he had acquired today, Meng Tong considered transplanting them here.

Having found a spot on the side, Meng Tong didn't want to use his special ability today; going too fast would ruin the fun of farming.

"What are you planning to plant, Fourth Sister-in-law? Do you need Yuanyuan's help?"

“Mother, Yan’er can help too.”

"He'er too."

One by one, they wore little hats and looked up at Meng Tong, crowding around her. Xiao Song, who was following behind, rolled his eyes and stepped forward, saying, "Aunt Tong, I can too."

Meng Tong laughed and said, "I don't need your help, I can just sit on the side and watch."

"Or you could fetch me some water."

Seeing their sudden dejection, Meng Tong abruptly changed the subject.

"Okay, I'll go."

Lu Yan was the most enthusiastic. The little girl had grown a lot taller in the past year or so, and she was also very strong. She could easily handle a bucket of water.

Carrying the wooden bucket that had been placed in the corner of the wall, they rushed back into the courtyard, with Lu He and Sheng Yuanyuan following closely behind.

The group scattered like birds and beasts, and Meng Tong felt that his ears were finally at peace.

Shaking his head, Meng Tong took out a hoe and other tools from his spatial storage, found a suitable spot, and started digging.

The soil wasn't too hard, and she was quite strong, so a small pit appeared in just a few minutes.

However, this is still not enough for transplanting.

She continued digging, and the woman's hoe moved with surprising ease, turning the heavy object into something light and effortless. As the soil was turned over, Meng Tong deftly broke it up, demonstrating a level of skill that one could only acquire after years of farming.

"Bang bang bang."

The sound of hoes hitting the soil was heard, and Sheng Tao and the others who had followed saw Meng Tong digging a hole.

"Tongtong, what are you doing? Why don't you let Chuan'er help you dig?"

"Mom, what brings you here?" Meng Tong looked up, rolled up her sleeves, and laughed heartily, "No need, I can do this myself."

"I saw some fruit trees in the mountains this morning, and I thought about transplanting them here so that it will be convenient to eat them later."

"Hmm, what kind of fruit trees are these?"

Jiang Zhu looked around but couldn't find any fruit trees.

Meng Tong took out the wild persimmon tree and bayberry tree from the space.

The tree was covered with bright red bayberries. They weren't particularly big to begin with, but I didn't expect there to be so many. Some even grew on the trunk.

Wow! So many bayberries!

"There are still bayberries here! And so many of them."

After taking a couple of steps closer and looking at it, Sheng Tao smiled, his hands behind his back.

Meng Tong casually grabbed two pieces and handed them to the few little ones who were practically drooling, saying with a smile, "It's because of the mountain climate."

"Okay, then you keep digging, and let Sheng Jin and Sheng Bing help you dig the hole."

"Tongtong, let us do it!"

Since their father had spoken, Sheng Jin and Sheng Bing had no reason to stand idly by, especially since they had just offered to help.

"I don't need to..."

"You take care of transplanting, and my brother and I will dig the holes."

Sheng Bing took the hoe from Meng Tong's hand and said with a smile.

Since coming to live in Duanshan Village, he has become much more talkative and has started to smile more.

Meng Tong didn't want to offend them, so she had no choice but to let them dig a hole so she could transplant the plant.

The bayberry tree wasn't particularly tall, only about half a head taller than Meng Tong, probably just over two meters, so the pit didn't need to be particularly big.

After digging a suitable hole, they moved on to the next one, while Meng Tong came to transplant.

The lush fruit tree is wrapped around the roots with the hands, and then the roots are transplanted into the pit that was dug beforehand.

Clutching small shovels, Lu He and Lu Yan, along with Xiao Song, ran over to fill the soil.

Cover the entire tree root with soil, then tamp it down with your feet.

"Mother, should we water the plants?"

The woman glanced sideways at Lu Yan, who was already impatiently carrying a bucket of water over, and her lips twitched slightly before she said in a low voice, "Okay, but only a little. Half a bucket of water is enough."

"Okay, I understand!"

Holding a wooden ladle, Lu Yan happily watered the plants, while Lu He and Xiao Song helped Meng Tong continue planting.

There were a total of eight bayberry trees and two wild persimmon trees, which Meng Tong transplanted into the area.

The wild persimmon tree was tall, and Meng Tong could only rely on his special ability because the shaking caused many ripe persimmons to fall.

Meng Tong told Lu Yan and the others to pick up the ones that weren't broken or rotten and take them home to eat, while they could just take out the seeds from the broken ones.

Let's experiment with the zombie crystal cores and see if we can make a crisp persimmon.

The sisters Lu He and Lu Yan planted these trees in just one afternoon, and they even got interested in planting them, begging Meng Tong to take them up the mountain to play the next day.

Thinking that he had nothing to do these few days, Meng Tong agreed.

They took the tools from the field back to the yard. Looking up, they saw that it was still early. Meng Tong cut up a plate of watermelon and other fruits that Lu Chuan liked, and asked Lu He and her sister to deliver it to the men in the field.

As for the ones at home, we just took a few out and put them in the kitchen for them to eat themselves.

Holding more than half a watermelon, Sheng Yuanyuan scooped it out spoonful by spoonful with a wooden spoon and ate it.

Cool and sweet, the little girl ate it with her eyes squinting, that's the kind of feeling that's truly comforting.

Seeing her like this, Meng Tong couldn't help but smile; she really knew how to enjoy herself.

……

Ground.

Holding his son, Lu Chuan sat under the shade of a tree and made a hat for Lu Huai out of foxtail grass, which he then put on his head.

The little guy gets hot easily and sweats profusely when he exercises; even wearing the hat Mengtong gave him, he still feels hot.

Lu Chuan had no choice but to make him a straw hat to wear on his head.

"Daddy, Niu Niu, moo moo."

"Hmm, you've learned how to moo like a cow. Do you remember how your mother taught you how to cluck like a chick?"

"chick?"

Looking up at Lu Chuan, Lu Huai seemed to be thinking about what Meng Tong had taught him before he went to sleep.

Lu Chuan looked at his son with a smile in his eyes.

The little guy thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Little chick, cluck cluck."

"Yes, Huai'er is great."

"Daddy."

Over here, carrying fruit, Lu He and Lu Yan ran towards Lu Chuan and his father. Their limbs were almost out of control.

The man looked up at his two daughters running towards him and quickly said, "Slow down, won't it hurt if you fall?"

She stood up, holding Lu Huai in one arm and embracing Lu Yan who rushed towards her with the other.

She was still holding a plate of fruit steadily in her hand.

"Daddy, let's eat watermelon and bayberries."

"Daddy, Grandma made meat pies."

"Okay, put it on the ground!" Seeing that the two sisters were struggling to carry it, Lu Chuan reminded them.

Then he gestured for the two sisters to sit down and took out a handkerchief from his pocket, giving it to Lu He and Lu Yan.

The man said with a helpless yet tender tone, "Wipe your sweat. Did your mother send you here?"

"Yes! Mother said Father has worked hard!"

Lu Huai: ...
