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

Chapter 35: Dividing the Valley for Planting Vegetables and Fruits

With Bai Ye's help, Lu Chuan's land reclamation speed was incredibly fast; the amount of wasteland he cleared in less than an hour was equivalent to a whole day's work with a hoe.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Chuan patted Bai Ye's head, removed the rope from its body, and whispered, "You've worked hard. I'll take you to find my wife to ask for a reward later."

"Ho ho ho~"

With three roars, Bai Ye bit Lu Chuan's clothes, its meaning clear: go now.

Lu Chuan's deep eyes gleamed with amusement. He pulled the corner of Bai Ye's clothes out of its mouth, stroked its head twice, and said, "Let's go! Let's put the tools back in the cave first."

"roar~"

Wagging its tail, Bai Ye ran happily ahead of Lu Chuan, glancing at him every now and then, as if to say, "Hurry up."

Lu Chuan ignored it, carrying his plow and following behind it. He set up his tools, and the two of them walked towards the waterfall.

On the clear stream, Meng Tong simply built a bathing room, using only four large wooden planks pieced together, which fit perfectly on both sides of the stream, providing both convenience and privacy.

When Lu Chuan arrived, the mother and her two daughters were still taking a bath inside, and every now and then, they could be heard laughing and playing around. Bai Ye, who was following behind him, was itching to join in.

It also wants to take a bath.

Holding Bai Ye's head down, Lu Chuan took it downstream from Meng Tong and the others. He took off his clothes and stepped into the water to quickly wash away the sweat and dust. Bai Ye also jumped in and rolled around twice.

As the water flowed, some of its white fur floated on the surface, while some stuck to its body, making it look somewhat comical. However, it seemed to enjoy it, especially when it shook itself, which kept Lu Chuan at least three meters away.

Lu Chuan could see the smugness in the tiger-like face.

……

As evening fell, Bai Ye curled up at Meng Tong's feet and snored. The supernatural power that Meng Tong pointed out slowly flowed into its body, and it felt so comfortable that its tiger face was full of enjoyment.

Lu He and Lu Yan, who had changed into a pink ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), stood obediently next to Meng Tong, their four little hands stroking Bai Ye's fur with great enthusiasm, their pink faces full of excitement.

It feels so good to touch.

By the hearth, Lu Chuan was chopping pork ribs, preparing to make corn and pork rib soup tonight.

First, chop the wild boar ribs into small pieces, wash away the blood, put them in a pot of cold water with ginger and other ingredients to remove the fishy smell, bring to a boil over high heat, then remove them and put them in an earthenware pot to simmer slowly. Add the corn along with them.

Because there were several bags of jujubes and goji berries at home, Lu Chuan put some of them in as well.

Bai Ye had already left, looking refreshed, and Meng Tong got up to help out.

Tonight's main dishes include rice and steamed buns.

Meng Tong mentioned this casually on the way a few days ago, and Lu Chuan kept it in mind.

Now that I've settled down, I'm thinking of making a few for Meng Tong to try.

The meat filling and dough were ready, and they were just waiting to wrap them. Meng Tong was interested and sat next to Lu Chuan to learn how.

The man was exceptionally patient; his deep, husky, and magnetic voice slowly rang in my ears, filling me with a sense of joy.

The atmosphere between the two was particularly beautiful. Lu Yan, who wanted to join in, was pulled back by Lu He. The little girl whispered in Lu Yan's ear, "Don't you think Daddy and Mommy get along very well now?"

"Hmm, what does that have to do with me not being able to go?"

“Uh…” Lu He paused for a second, looking at Lu Yan with a disappointed expression, and finally let out a deep sigh.

With a mature air, she said, "Anyway, you can't go over there. Isn't it better to just wait and eat later?"

Perhaps the food stimulated Lu Yan, because the little girl gave in and obediently sat next to Lu He to play.

As dusk fell, the family finally had dinner.

There was fragrant rice, big meat buns glistening with oil and savory meat, a light and refreshing corn and pork rib soup, and finally, a dish of stir-fried cured pork.

There aren't many dishes, but they're filling and there's no waste. You can eat one dish for a maximum of two meals.

Meng Tong first took a steamed bun she had made herself. It wasn't very pretty, but it was filled with lots of meat and was very fragrant. When you took a bite, the oil sizzled and dripped out, and the flavor was delicious, all wrapped in the outer skin.

"Daddy, these ribs are so delicious."

"Then eat more."

As the man spoke, he placed two pieces of pork ribs and some corn on each of Meng Tong and her two daughters' plates, piling the small bowls with meat.

Lu He and Lu Yan ate with great enjoyment, their praises flowing freely, which made Lu Chuan smile and feel very pleased.

After finishing their meal and cleaning up, the family headed towards the cave.

Lu Chuan held a torch in one hand and had his arm around Meng Tong's waist with the other, his eyes fixed on the two little ones hopping and skipping in front of him.

I'm content with simple happiness.

Back in the cave, Lu He and Lu Yan went to bed on their own, while Meng Tong and Lu Chuan sat at the table and discussed their plans for the future.

Things like where to plant rice and how much to plant are all things that need to be considered. To be honest, Lu Chuan didn't know much about these things, so he listened to Meng Tong's arrangements.

He does whatever his wife asks him to do, and his main trait is obedience.

……

The next day, Lu Chuan got up again to clear the land, taking advantage of the early morning when the sun wasn't too strong to get more work done.

Bai Ye, who went out for a stroll last night, has returned. He brought Meng Tong a pheasant and a rabbit, but they've already been killed by him.

All we can leave is this lunch today.

Not long after Lu Chuan got up, Meng Tong, Lu He, and Lu Yan also woke up. After a quick wash, they started working.

The two little ones were responsible for picking up the larger weeds or branches after clearing the land and placing them aside, while Meng Tong started sowing seeds.

Since they've all undergone genetic mutations, they have a strong ability to survive.

First, Meng Tong set aside a plot of land for a vegetable garden. She planted cabbage, peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, climbing beans, cucumbers, and so on. She sowed all the vegetable seeds she had in her space, which took up more than an acre of land.

Four people can't finish it all, so we'll just grow a little of each kind to eat fresh.

Next, they just had to wait for Lu Chuan to clear out all the wasteland. Meng Tong roughly divided it into four large sections.

The area near the cave in the upper left corner is mainly used for planting wheat, potatoes, and corn. She plans to plant some fruit trees below. As for the area near the waterfall, Meng Tong plans to plant rice. Finally, she will plant some medicinal herbs in the remaining area.

"Mother, when are we going to plant the sweet potatoes we used to eat?"

"what happened?"

Meng Tong looked up at the little girl in front of him, pulled her into his arms, and asked her softly.

"Yan'er wants to eat roasted sweet potatoes." Lu Yan tugged at Meng Tong's clothes and said aggrievedly, "Mommy, how long after they're planted can we eat them?"

"About half a month."

“Really!!”

"Mm." Meng Tong nodded, pinched Lu Yan's little face and said with a smile, "How about Yan'er comes and plant them herself?"

"Is it okay? Won't the swallow kill me?"

“No, it’s very resilient,” Meng Tong replied.

Since she loves eating it so much, she wouldn't mind ripening it artificially, since there are no side effects anyway.
