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

Chapter 208: Chinese New Year, Rapid Development, Assigning Tasks

Because of Hui'er's matter, Meng Tong stayed in town for a long time. After delivering the New Year's goods to the other villages, it was already evening when he returned to Duanshan Village.

The north wind was howling outside, and the snow was falling heavier and heavier. After shaking off the snowflakes, Meng Tong walked into the courtyard.

At that time, Lu Chuan and his group of men were setting up tables, benches, and various kinds of food.

As for Sheng Tao and the other elders, they led Lu He, Lu Yan and the other children to burn incense and paper money in various corners of the house, which is commonly known as "worshipping the gods".

"You're back. Come inside and warm up. We'll have dinner when Grandpa and the others get back."

"it is good."

Lu Chuan led the person in to sit by the stove on one side of the kitchen to keep warm, while he continued to busy himself with other things.

The various meat dishes on the stove were ready. Sheng Yu and the others were responsible for taking them to the living room, while Lu Chuan was responsible for cooking some vegetables.

The woman seemed to have stopped reacting, and Meng Tong scanned the scene in the courtyard.

The red couplets have all been pasted up, and there are brand new red lanterns under the eaves, creating a thriving scene.

For some reason, Meng Tong felt like it was her first time celebrating New Year's Eve. Before the apocalypse, her family would indeed put up couplets and have a family reunion dinner.

But for some reason, I was curious that something was missing. Everyone only talked about work at the dinner table, and soon after finishing the meal, they all went back to their rooms.

Unlike now, my family has been busy for the past few days, slaughtering pigs, sheep and cattle. This morning, we got up early to clean inside and outside the house, and we made our own food. Everyone is wearing brand new clothes.

To be honest, Meng Tong was quite looking forward to the dinner scene later; it was bound to be very lively.

……

After staying in the kitchen for less than fifteen minutes, Sheng Tao and several of his elders returned with a few younger children, and the once quiet courtyard suddenly became lively.

Upon seeing Meng Tong, Lu Huai and the others rushed in and fawned over her.

"Mother, I miss you so much!"

"This is a lucky charm that my great-grandfather just gave me. I'm giving it to my mother now, hoping that she will make a fortune next year."

The little boy nestled in the woman's arms and handed her a red paper that Sheng Tao had given him, inside which were folded three coins.

This was a lucky charm that Meng Tong had asked for when she prayed to the gods earlier. She hadn't expected the boy to be so generous with it.

Before, no one could touch his things.

"Thank you Baby."

Smiling, Meng Tong accepted the gift without opening it and simply stuffed it into his sleeve, hoping his son's auspicious words would bring him great wealth next year!

Seeing that Lu Huai had given away his gift, Lu He and Lu Yan also went to find the people they wanted to give theirs to.

One is Lu Chuan, and the other is Sheng Xiu.

The two were quite surprised by this! Especially Sheng Xiu, who thought Yan'er would give this to Sheng Yu.

After all, the two got along well, and the little girl would pester him to play whenever she had time.

"Why did you give this to your second uncle?"

"Because my second uncle is handsome."

Sheng Yu: ……

She glanced at her niece with a frustrated expression, then looked at her brother, whose smile was barely contained.

Out of sight, out of mind, the man carried the steaming hot beef soup to the living room.

Almost all the dishes had been served. After the bowls and chopsticks were set out, Cheng Mian, who was sleeping in the room, brought Sheng Zhuzhu to the living room.

She is almost four months pregnant now. Her morning sickness has lessened a lot, but she is very sleepy. Since she came to Duanshan Village the day before yesterday, Meng Tong feels that she only sees her when she is eating. At other times, she is sleeping in her room.

Fortunately, a checkup revealed no problems with her physical condition.

This is Meng Tong's second Lunar New Year's Eve since she traveled through time. Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Thinking about her achievements, the woman was quite satisfied.

Not only did she gain this pure land, but she also gained so many people who loved her. This made the woman, who was originally cold-hearted, slowly let down her guard, and her smile became even more radiant.

Sitting next to Meng Tong, Lu Chuan naturally sensed his wife's emotions. The man turned his head and looked at the barely perceptible tears in the corners of her eyes, and a hint of heartache appeared in his eyes as well.

A hot, strong hand grasped the woman's small hand resting on the table. Meng Tong turned her head and glanced at the man's gentle, loving eyes.

At that moment, it seemed as if their souls were in sync, and a sincere smile appeared in their eyes as they met.

……

After celebrating New Year's Eve and resting for about ten days, everyone in Wuyou Valley threw themselves back into their busy work.

Construction in the town continued steadily. The seed station next to the brick kiln was finally completed in early February, and Meng Tong immediately put many seeds in it and cultivated seedlings.

The woman took a lot of things like potatoes and sweet potatoes at once, since Zhou Yan would need them later anyway.

With the seed station built, the next step was the cotton mill. Of course, this wasn't just any cotton mill; it was the place Meng Tong would use to produce sanitary napkins in the future.

Although there are only a little over 500 women in the entire Worry-Free Valley, the demand is still quite high. Within her capabilities, she hopes to provide them with the best, and they can also be sold later.

Lu Chuan was very familiar with this task, so he could just lead everyone to do it.

As for Meng Tong, she went to see Liu Xiong.

The plan to send them out for a trip before the new year is almost ready to be implemented.

"Does Madam mean that all we need to do is promote the reputation of our Worry-Free Valley?"

"Yes, of course, we can also talk about our new species if necessary."

Meng Tong pointed to the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other vegetables and fruits that Da Wei did not have.

Liu Xiong immediately understood Meng Tong's meaning, and an excited look appeared on his face. "I guarantee to complete the mission. When can I set off?"

"You can decide, but it's better to do it sooner rather than later, since spring planting is just around the corner."

"Okay." Liu Xiong slapped his thigh, his eyes darting around, then turned to the woman and said, "Let me inform the brothers to finish their tasks first, and I'll let you know the specific time later."

"Okay, but it can't be more than ten days."

"must."

They then discussed many details with Liu Xiong in the main hall, including how to promote the product and which places to go.

Meng Tong didn't leave the brick kiln until evening, and then went to the seed station on the way.

The entire seed station is circular, with several particularly tall trees planted in the middle, which the woman uses to manage all the seeds.

The seeds in each floor and each room are different. There are six floors in total, with more than a hundred rooms of various sizes.

After checking and confirming that everything was correct, Meng Tong turned around and went to where Lu Chuan was working.

The two of them are going back to Duanshan Village together tonight.

Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, it's the end of February. The land in Duanshan Village, which had been idle for more than two months, can finally be plowed.
