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

The little guy has a pretty good nose; he squatted down and handed the plate to the younger ones.

Lu He, Lu Yan, and Xiao Song each chewed on a thick piece of beef jerky, while Meng Tong only gave Lu Huai a small piece to suck on.

"Mommy, this is so delicious."

"Yan'er likes it very much."

"If you like it, then have another one."

After giving each of them another stick, Meng Tong put his sister-in-law back in the kitchen. Children shouldn't eat too much; they need to save room for dinner tonight!

While Lu Chuan and the others were slaughtering the sheep, Meng Tong went back to the kitchen to prepare some side dishes.

We'll put diced potatoes, green vegetables, bean sprouts, and other similar items in the pot together and cook them later.

A light drizzle was falling from the sky, and as the work continued, it grew dark.

The cold wind made people shiver; the weather really does change in an instant.

They brought the children to the living room to rest early. Sheng Yuanyuan was in charge of watching the children, while Meng Tong and Jiang Zhu served the bowls and chopsticks.

Several men were busy in the kitchen, and there was no need to worry about Lu Chuan's cooking skills when it came to food.

Simply tell him how to cook it, and the man can pick up a spatula and cook it for the woman.

The steaming hot mutton soup was ready, and Lu Chuan carried an earthenware pot to the living room first.

"Put it here! I just added some firewood here, so it'll keep warm when we eat it."

Pointing to the tin stove in the middle of the table, Meng Tong spoke up.

She made this table to make it easier to eat hot pot. There's a groove in the middle made of sheet metal. You just need to open the sheet metal cover when you need to use it, and you can close it when you don't need to.

The key to eating hot pot is to keep it hot, so Meng Tong added charcoal to the fire early on.

The whole room was warm at that moment.

Lu Chuan nodded and placed the earthenware pot directly on the charcoal stove in the middle of the table, where it bubbled and steamed, releasing the unique aroma of mutton.

The children sitting to the side were drooling.

Bring over the side dishes, along with a plate of beef jerky that Meng Tong had placed there. And that's how our simple dinner was finished for tonight.

"Grandpa, please sit here."

"it is good."

After everything was set up, the whole family sat down around a steaming pot of mutton hot pot.

The mutton was sliced ​​thinly and cooked through in the pot in just over ten seconds. Paired with the woman's special dipping sauce, the flavor was so delicious it would make your tongue tingle.

A lot of mutton and side dishes were put into the pot at once. Once they were cooked, Lu Chuan would use a spoon to scoop them out and put them into bowls next to each other.

"It's delicious. It tastes so good. It's not fishy at all, and it has a light milky aroma."

"Hmm, I didn't expect there to be sheep like this in the North."

"It tastes so good with this dipping sauce."

"..."

Everyone raved about the food, and even little Lu Huai, who had only drunk a few sips of soup, clapped his hands happily, his big eyes squinting with joy.

I feel so comfortable with everyone liking Meng Tong; this mutton is really delicious.

"Here, try this beef jerky, it's quite good."

"Thank you, Madam."

Taking the plate from Meng Tong, Lu Chuan used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of beef jerky and stuff it into his mouth.

The meat was fragrant but not dry, and it wasn't as tough as he had imagined; in fact, it fell apart easily with a bite.

The man ate three of them before he was satisfied, and he would even eat a few during his breaks from work each day to replenish his energy.

Night fell, dark clouds filled the sky, and it soon started to rain, but it wasn't cold at all inside.

The meal lasted for more than an hour, and nearly 20 kilograms of mutton were consumed.

It's not that Meng Tong is exaggerating; it's just that men who do the work do have big appetites.

After eating and drinking their fill, they chatted in the living room before going back to their rooms to sleep.

Lu Chuan held his daughter, who was already half asleep, in one arm, while Meng Tong held her son, whose eyes were wide open.

This kid is unusually energetic tonight.

"Mother, Huai'er wants to sleep with you."

With his chubby little hands wrapped around the woman's neck, Lu Huai was already able to express himself clearly.

Before the woman could respond, a cold voice of rejection came from beside him.

"No."

"Why?" The little guy tilted his head in dissatisfaction, looking at the skewers-loving eyes of the man, and said with a frown, "Daddy slept with Mommy last night, so he should sleep with Huai'er tonight."

"No, she's my wife, so she can only sleep with one man, me."

Lu Chuan refused to budge. He had finally found his wife, and he wasn't about to let this little guy ruin things.

What's more, he really wanted it tonight, so much so that his whole body felt hot and tense.

"Hmph, Father is bad."

Ignoring the man, Lu Huai nestled in the woman's arms and whimpered softly.

Meng Tong watched the father and son put on their show with a smile. Could she say that no one could sleep with her tonight?

In the end, Lu Chuan prevailed. After coaxing the little one to sleep, Lu Chuan went back inside.

At that time, Meng Tong had already washed up and gotten into bed. As soon as the man came in, he saw her fair face smiling at him.

A strange fire ignited within me; the weather was clearly quite cold, yet I felt unbearably hot all over.

After quickly taking off his clothes, leaving only his undergarments, Lu Chuan walked straight towards the bed.

"My wife, it's late, let's go to sleep!"

"Hmm...you were born in the Year of the Dog."

The tall figure loomed over the petite woman; tonight was destined to be another sleepless night.

……

For seven consecutive days, Lu Chuan was busy in Duanshan Village, rushing to set up pigsties and sheds for chickens, ducks and geese.

Next came laying out hay for warmth, and the work was finally completed on November 4th.

When the pigs, chickens, ducks, and geese in the space are released, they are in excellent health and don't feel cold at all.

After observing them for two days and seeing that they were eating, drinking, and using the toilet well, Lu Chuan finally felt relieved and returned to town.

Meng Tong was also with them.

Sitting in Sheng Tao's newly acquired carriage, the woman could simply lie comfortably on the warm bed.

There was dried meat, beef jerky, and fruit on the table next to me, making me feel very relaxed.

Upon arriving in town, Lu Chuan went directly to the grain depot.

The man parked the carriage in the open space inside the grain depot, and led the woman by the hand straight inside.

When they arrived at the house they had discussed earlier, Mingyu and the others were indeed there.

"Madam, Brother Chuan."

"Hmm, how have you been lately?"

"The finishing touches at the grain mill are done. Next, we'll prepare for the seed station on the right side of the brick kiln."

Mingyu replied slowly, glancing at Meng Tong casually.

The woman's expression was unpredictable; she even smiled and nodded when he looked at her.

The boy, who had been a little nervous, gradually relaxed.

"Has the foundation for the seed station been completed yet?"

"It's almost done. Zhou Fang and his team are working on it today, and they should be able to finish the foundation by tomorrow."

No matter what the question, Mingyu's mind was always clear, and he was very satisfied with both Lu Chuan and Meng Tong.

Over the next hour, the group discussed many details. After having lunch in town, Lu Chuan and Meng Tong went directly to Pingkou Village.
