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

Chapter 54 After a severe drought, a great disaster is sure to follow.

Because of the pregnancy, we didn't go all the way to the final step, but we experienced everything we were supposed to experience.

With her flushed face pressed against the man's strong chest, Meng Tong's mind kept replaying the scenes from just now.

That hand... it's really strong.

After a good night's sleep, Meng Tong's already fair and pretty face became even more radiant and captivating, exuding a unique charm.

The man, who had just opened his eyes, saw this scene and couldn't suppress the burning passion in his heart. His eyes almost burned Meng Tong to ashes.

But in the end, he only lowered his head and lightly pecked the woman's rosy lips.

Lu Chuan pulled a thin blanket over Meng Tong, then left the room shirtless and headed straight for the bathroom.

In the room, the woman's eyelids trembled slightly, a faint smile appeared on her lips, and then she turned over and continued to sleep.

As for Lu Chuan, he emerged from the bathroom a quarter of an hour later, looking chilled, and then headed straight for the kitchen.

The man first boiled the hot water for daily washing before returning to the room to help Meng Tong put on her shoes and clothes.

The intimacy between the two has increased significantly.

"After we harvest the remaining crops today, let's plant another crop! I'd like to switch this land from wheat to cotton."

"My wife can decide for you, but why cotton?"

Lu Chuan asked Meng Tong with some confusion, then took her left hand and walked towards the door.

"Have you ever heard of a saying?"

"What?"

"After a severe drought, a major disaster is sure to follow."

Crossing the threshold, the two walked towards the kitchen. Lu Chuan's eyes flickered slightly as he whispered, "Never heard of it. Maybe it's because I'm ignorant. I only knew about hunting in the mountains before, and I didn't pay much attention to other things."

"Does my wife mean that this year's drought might trigger other disasters?"

"More or less! But I'm just guessing. It's better to be safe than sorry! Planting some is good to have in hand, so if the weather gets cold later, we can make some winter clothes for you and the children," Meng Tong replied.

He pulled up a stool for Meng Tong to sit on, and as usual poured her water to wash her face. Hearing her words, Lu Chuan's eyes flashed with a smile, "My wife is so thoughtful."

"By the way, I'd like to go out for a walk this afternoon and see if I can hunt some wild game. We've been in the mountains for so long, but I haven't properly hunted any game for my wife yet!"

Lu Chuan's words were loaded with meaning, and Meng Tong understood instantly.

He nodded with a smile in his eyes, agreeing.

Even a skilled hunter can regress if he doesn't practice for a long time.

……

After a quick breakfast, the family headed towards the unharvested crops in the fields.

"Mother, can we leave this space for Yan'er and my sister to dig themselves?"

The adorable little girl held a small hoe that Lu Chuan had made for her over the past few days and pointed to a corner of the sweet potato field.

When they were planting, Meng Tong had specially reserved some for them to plant themselves. There was also a small patch next to it that had already been dug up; Meng Tong had ripened it and eaten it first.

"Of course you can. Dig it out and let your father carry it for you."

"No, my sister and I will dig our own backs. Didn't Mother say that we should be responsible for what we do?"

"This part is the responsibility of Yan'er and her older sister!"

"They've got a whole set of plans!" Meng Tong chuckled and patted the two little ones' heads gently, saying, "Alright, then good luck to you. Tonight, Mommy will use the sweet potatoes you dug up to make you something delicious."

"Okay~."

Lu He and Lu Yan nodded vigorously, then bent over and started tending to their own little sweet potato patch.

As for Lu Chuan, he followed behind his daughter, carrying two small baskets to pick sweet potatoes for them.

Meng Tong found a relatively flat and shady spot to sit, and then easily activated the supernatural power within his body.

Some of the yellowing sweet potato vines were pulled up by the roots, and one after another, large sweet potatoes appeared before our eyes. Compared to rice, it was too simple.

He used his superpower to tear off the sweet potatoes hanging on the vines and put them into his space. He used his superpower to cover the sweet potatoes buried in the ground, easily finding all of them and putting them into his space without leaving a single one behind.

The whole process took no more than ten minutes, and the Lu sisters, Lu He and Lu Yan, had only dug up two clusters of sweet potatoes!

With a smile on his face, Meng Tong continued harvesting the other crops.

Meng Tong planted some soybeans, sorghum, and other crops, mainly because he wanted to try making some soy sauce and sorghum liquor.

Another hour passed before they knew it. Meng Tong had finished all the finishing touches. The couple didn't disturb the two sisters who were working hard. They each carried a basket and followed behind them, cheering them on.

At the very end, we even had a sweet potato digging competition to celebrate our sisterhood!

However, Lu Yan's impatience ultimately prevailed over Lu He.

The main reason was that she was too focused on the competition results, and the sweet potatoes she dug up were all damaged. On the other hand, Lu He was unhurried and dug up sweet potatoes that were all intact, without even a speck of mud on them.

This also reflects the personality traits of the two.

After a morning of harvesting, all the crops were finally harvested, and the more than 100 acres of wasteland yielded its first bumper harvest.

The sisters' sweet potatoes were filled into a small basket, and the rest were all stored in the space after Meng Tong patiently persuaded her.

The family returned to the courtyard in the midday sun.

After unloading the small baskets from the sisters' backs, Lu Chuan carried one in each hand into the kitchen to prepare lunch, while Meng Tong led the two sisters to the bathroom to take a bath.

After a morning of physical labor, they were covered in sweat, especially Lu He and Lu Yan, whose faces were covered in mud and sweat, which was very uncomfortable.

However, I must commend the two little ones; they are quite resilient.

……

In the afternoon, Lu Chuan went hunting, while Meng Tong stayed in the yard with the two little ones.

The mother and her two daughters were dressed in matching light green cardigans and skirts, with identical braids on their heads—a classic ancient-style family outfit.

This dress was made by Lu Chuan using fabric that Meng Tong scavenged from her spatial storage! Mainly because she's terrible with her hands.

Having a rare free day, Meng Tong wanted to show off her culinary skills.

Let's try making sweet potato pancakes today using the two small sweet potatoes we scooped out!

He instructed the two sisters to put the sweet potatoes from their baskets into the wooden basin one by one, while Meng Tong added water to the basin.

The first step is to wash the sweet potatoes, then slice them, cook them, and mash them into a paste. Meng Tong still remembers these steps; she used to see them frequently while watching short videos.

The eyes have mastered it, but as for the hands...

Meng Tong didn't know either. Of course, there's a first time for everything. You have to be brave enough to try. It's not scary to fail. What's scary is not even having the courage to try.

In the courtyard, the mother and her two daughters had a clear division of labor: the two little ones were responsible for washing sweet potatoes, while Meng Tong was responsible for sitting and cutting them.

After placing the sliced ​​sweet potatoes into the steamer in the pot, Lu Yan looked at Meng Tong expectantly and asked, "Mommy, is this what you meant by delicious food?"

"It's still early! You go play for a while, and I'll call you when it's ready to eat."

"Don't you need our help?" Lu He asked.

"Need not."

Meng Tong waved her hand; she wouldn't admit that she was afraid of things going wrong.
