Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!
Chapter 40 Choosing the Foundation, the Cunning Lu Chuan
"Say whatever you want. Don't be afraid of saying the wrong thing. Your mother and father will listen to your opinions carefully."
"Can Yan'er have a room to herself?" Lu Yan asked Meng Tong with her bright, sparkling eyes.
The village chief's grandson used to have his own room, and he would always boast about how big and nice his room was.
Lu Yan was particularly envious of this; she also wanted to own a house of her own.
"No problem." Meng Tong smiled and turned to Lu He, asking, "He'er, would you like a room to yourself too?"
"Yes, He'er wants one too."
Her whole face was flushed with excitement, and her eyes were full of admiration as she looked at Meng Tong.
"Alright, then we'll give you each a room. Do you have any requests regarding the room's furnishings?"
Meng Tong continued to ask questions, and Lu Chuan sat quietly to the side listening, his mind already beginning to picture his and his wife's room.
First and foremost, the room needs to be spacious and bright, and the bed needs to be thick and large, otherwise...
"Mommy, I want to put lots of pretty flowers in my room, so it will be especially beautiful when they bloom..."
"He'er wants a desk..."
The two little ones seemed to have been opened up and huddled up to Meng Tong, talking freely, their eyes reflecting their fantasies about their own rooms.
Meng Tong listened attentively without interrupting. It was rare for them to slowly reveal their innermost thoughts, and she would try her best to satisfy them.
After dinner, Lu He and Lu Yan went to play with Bai Ye and the little rabbit at the cave entrance, while Meng Tong and Lu Chuan sat at the table planning what to do next.
A bowl of cold water was placed on the table. Meng Tong dipped his index finger in the water and began to write and draw on the black dining table.
First, we drew a framework for the more than two acres of wasteland, which was rectangular in shape, except that the width of the end near the waterfall was narrower than the other end.
Looking at the framework formed by the water on the dining table, Meng Tong looked up at Lu Chuan, who was expressionless, and asked, "What are your thoughts? Where do you think the foundation of the house should be placed?"
"here."
Lu Chuan pointed with his right index finger to the part of the frame that was noticeably wider, which was the other end of the waterfall.
"Why?" Meng Tong continued to press. Actually, she also thought the position was suitable, but she just wanted to know Lu Chuan's reasons for choosing it.
"It's spacious here."
"Gone?"
"And quiet."
So Lu Chuan chose it for only two reasons: one, it was spacious; two, it was quiet and there was no sound of flowing waterfall water.
Meng Tong was both amused and exasperated. Although the reasons for her choice were different, at least it was the right one.
The area near the waterfall has abundant groundwater, making it unsuitable for foundation work. This was the main reason Meng Tong did not choose this location.
What are your requirements for the house?
"As long as it's spacious, the rest is up to you, my wife."
Lu Chuan looked up at Meng Tong with deep affection and said.
"That's all?" Meng Tong asked, puzzled. Lu He and Lu Yan had said so much!
"No, I like whatever my wife likes."
"Did you take the wrong medicine today?" Meng Tong looked up at Lu Chuan, who had a smile on his face.
The man's appearance was the kind that could be aggressive; his smile gave off a malicious vibe.
He was definitely up to something. Sure enough, Lu Chuan wiped his hands, his deep, dark eyes fixed on Meng Tong, and said, "I want a very spacious room, preferably with a very large bed, so that my wife and I won't have to worry about not being able to turn over when we sleep together. Of course, the main reason is..."
"stop."
Meng Tong abruptly stopped Lu Chuan from speaking, looking at his innocent face with a speechless expression. How come she never realized this person was so cunning before?
Raising a hand to rub his temples, Meng Tong said, "The house isn't even finished yet! Isn't what you're saying too far ahead? Let's decide on the framework and the number of rooms first!"
"Oh!"
Lu Chuan blinked twice. How come his daughter could bring it up, but he couldn't?
Stealing a glance at Meng Tong's slightly reddened ear tips, Lu Chuan's deep eyes lit up with a smile, his previous gloom vanished, and he casually moved closer to Meng Tong.
The two spent the whole afternoon studying the house, and before they knew it, their heads were very close together. Lu He and Lu Yan, who had originally wanted to come over after playing for a while, saw this scene and wisely ran back to the cave.
Exhausted, Bai Ye saw its two little darlings return and felt that today was its death day.
I've never seen a child with so much energy.
……
After two full days of research, a plan was finally reached for the house, which was divided into eight rooms according to the terrain.
Four bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a toilet.
The four bedrooms are arranged side by side with their backs against the cliff. From top to bottom, they are occupied by Meng Tong, Lu He, Lu Yan, and the baby in her belly.
As for the living room and kitchen, they are located on one side of Meng Tong's room, with about two meters of space reserved in between. This is where she plans to build a small garden on the wasteland near the waterfall, so that she can enjoy the waterfall up close!
Finally, the toilet and shower room are located opposite the kitchen, with a large courtyard in between.
Because the house was built below the waterfall, Meng Tong had a plan: to use the water pipes in the space to bring water into the house, making it convenient not only for washing vegetables and cooking, but also for taking a bath.
Of course, these are just her plans, and she still needs to discuss with Lu Chuan how to implement them.
Listening to Meng Tong's narration, Lu Chuan already had a very detailed picture in his mind. His eyes gleamed, and he was already eager to get started.
……
The eighth day of the fifth lunar month is an auspicious day for breaking ground.
As dawn broke, the family set off from the cave toward the hearth. After a simple breakfast, Lu Chuan began to cook.
Yesterday, Meng Tong measured the location and fenced it off with wooden stakes. Because the wasteland still has uneven areas and even many large stones, his task today is to dig soil to level the high places and fill in the low places.
As for the stones inside, they were left to Meng Tong. With a wave of his hand and control of the whip in his hand, Meng Tong easily moved a particularly large stone out.
The two sisters standing nearby were amazed by this action.
My mother is definitely a fairy.
Building a house is not an easy task; this task alone took a whole day.
In the evening, Lu Chuan was so tired that he lay down on the ground and fell asleep. Meng Tong felt sorry for him and secretly transferred some of her supernatural abilities to him.
It can relieve soreness and also increase his strength.
While Lu Chuan was resting, Meng Tong brought Lu He and Lu Yan to the vegetable field to pick fruits and vegetables.
They've ripened incredibly fast these past few days; there's so much of it that we can't even eat it all.
"Mommy, there are so many big eggplants here!"
"Mother, what kind of melon is this?"
"Mother..."
In a lush green vegetable garden, one can hear the sound of "Mother's voice".
