Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!
Chapter 28: Accelerating Crops and Eating Potato Stew with Chicken
They traveled and played along the way, and by the time Meng Tong and the other three arrived at their lodgings, it was already evening.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ye was waiting by the pool. Hearing their return, he stood up abruptly, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Although Lu He and Lu Yan knew that Bai Ye was their father's friend, they were still afraid.
Seeing it stand up, the two little ones were so frightened that they backed away, their little hands tightly gripping Meng Tong's fingers.
"Mother, we are scared."
"Don't be afraid, aren't your father and mother here?"
Meng Tong patted his two little heads and glanced at the man who had already walked towards Bai Ye.
Over here, Lu Chuan glared at Bai Ye who was standing, raised his hand and ruffled the other's head, saying in a commanding tone, "Don't scare my daughter, lie down."
"Roar~ Gurgle."
He let out a soft growl to express his resentment, then glanced at the mother and her two daughters not far away before reluctantly lying back down.
It was out of kindness, not because he couldn't bear to frighten the women and children, but because he was cowardly towards Lu Chuan.
Seeing how obedient Baihu was to her father, Lu He and Lu Yan's eyes lit up, and they looked at Lu Chuan with admiration.
Daddy is amazing.
Suddenly, Lu He looked up at Meng Tong and asked, "Mother, can He'er touch it?"
"Aren't you afraid?"
Meng Tong was somewhat surprised. Lu He was shy and didn't like to talk much, so she thought she was timid too!
Shaking her head, Lu He said, "I'm not afraid. It's as cute as a rabbit, all fluffy."
Meng Tong: ……
“I…I want to go too,” Lu Yan said, mustering her courage.
If her older sister is so brave, she won't give up either.
This damned competitive spirit left Meng Tong speechless, so he could only beckon Lu Chuan over.
"Madam, what's wrong?"
"The two of them want to touch the white tiger, take them there."
"……it is good."
As Lu Chuan spoke, he led one of them by the hand and walked towards Bai Ye. Meng Tong sat on a chair next to the cabin to rest, and there were three little white rabbits in an overturned basket next to her!
Meng Tong casually picked up a little white rabbit and stroked its fur with a relaxed expression, glancing occasionally at the laughter coming from the other side.
……
After playing enough, it was time for dinner. Lu Chuan wouldn't let Meng Tong do anything, so she could only head towards the experimental plot she had planted.
The plants were growing very well; those without superpowers were not much worse than those with superpowers, which Meng Tong found somewhat unbelievable.
Could it be because of a genetic mutation in the post-apocalyptic world?
This was the only reason Meng Tong could find.
At the current rate, everything will be ripe in less than a month. But as the weather gets hotter and hotter, the water in the pond is decreasing at a visible rate, so the family has to head deeper into the mountains.
With his dark eyes slightly narrowed, Meng Tong used his special ability to tentatively accelerate the ripening of the corn. In less than fifteen minutes, the corn stalks were covered with kernels. The effect was excellent!
As expected, her abilities have improved significantly with repeated use.
Taking advantage of this break, Meng Tong accelerated the ripening of all the crops planted here.
There are corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc.
Meng Tong stored all the food for tonight into her spatial storage, and carrying fresh corn and potatoes, she walked towards Lu Chuan.
The man had changed into a gray-blue vest and was chopping chicken pieces with his head down. His muscular physique was covered in fine beads of sweat, making him look particularly sexy.
Subconsciously licking her lips, Meng Tong piled the things aside. Lu Chuan glanced at them, then looked up and asked Meng Tong, "These were grown by my wife, are they ready to eat?"
"Okay, it's ready to eat."
As she spoke, Meng Tong took out a stool from her spatial storage and sat down to help Yumi undress, looking completely relaxed and at ease.
Lu Chuan thought for a moment and realized that his wife was someone with divine artifacts, so it was not surprising that she did anything.
But when his dark eyes swept over the potatoes covered in dirt, he stopped wielding his knife and asked, "Wife, what is this? And this, I've never seen it before."
He also mentioned sweet potatoes.
He had never seen these clods of earth before. Could they be food from the gods in heaven?
"I bought these seeds when I went to town before. They said they were brought back from a very far place. I've never seen them before, so I thought I'd give it a try."
"Hmm, let's try it tonight and see if it tastes good."
"Okay, let's stew this with the chicken!" Meng Tong said, pointing to the potatoes.
Lu Chuan nodded and said okay.
The man quickly prepared the pheasant and started stewing it. Then he began washing the potatoes, clumsily peeling them and cutting them into large chunks for later use.
Meanwhile, Meng Tong had also cooked the corn. The fresh corn was especially sweet and fragrant. After draining the hot water, she took it out and let it cool down a bit.
"Here, try it and see if it's good."
"Thank you, Madam."
Lu Chuan took a bite, and the unique sweetness of corn filled his mouth. He had eaten corn before, but he never thought it tasted so good.
Meng Tong continued gnawing away, leisurely walking towards Bai Ye. He saw that Bai Ye's once smooth and shiny fur was now matted, and the culprit was fast asleep on its belly.
After giving Meng Tong a resentful glance, Bai Ye didn't dare to move. Even a slight increase in breathing caused the two little ones on her stomach to rise higher.
Unable to suppress a laugh, Meng Tong, holding an ear of corn in one hand, squatted down and gently patted Lu He and Lu Yan, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion.
The two of them didn't seem to mind the heat; their rosy little faces were glistening with sweat.
"Um... Mother."
The soft, sweet voice made Meng Tong's heart melt, not to mention that her little body was arching towards her.
With tenderness in her eyes, Meng Tong said softly, "Good boy, get up and eat some sweet corn, or your daddy will eat it all."
"Ah, Yan'er wants to eat corn."
"He'er wants some too."
She instantly snapped out of it, and without Meng Tong even pulling her up, she scrambled to her feet and ran towards Lu Chuan, calling out, "Daddy, leave some for Yan'er."
Lu Chuan: Am I the kind of person who would eat alone?
Just as she was about to grab the cooked corn, Meng Tong stopped her, saying, "Go wash your hands. Wash them clean before you take them, otherwise you'll get sick if you eat something unclean."
"Okay." Lu He and Lu Yan obediently did as instructed, but before leaving, they didn't forget to remind Meng Tong, "Mother, remember to keep an eye on Father and don't let him steal any food!"
"Okay." Meng Tong glanced at the bewildered Lu Chuan with a smile.
You have to admit, they're kind of cute.
After washing their hands, Lu He and Lu Yan ate the fragrant corn, their mouths full of praise for Meng Tong, their little mouths as sweet as if they had been touched by honey.
As the sun set, leaving only a crimson afterglow, a touch of coolness crept into the sweltering air, and the family gathered around the table to begin their dinner.
The physical exertion was high, so a few ears of corn were enough for a side dish.
When Lu Chuan brought out a pot of stewed chicken with potatoes, even Meng Tong couldn't help but drool.
The chicken is soft, sweet, and soaked in broth. One bite is incredibly satisfying. Paired with rice, you'll eat so much you won't have time to talk.
