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

After feeding the little one in my arms, he lay there with his limbs outstretched and fell asleep contentedly, his soft snores carrying a milky scent.

Meng Tong took a clean, plain handkerchief from the side of the bed, bent down to wipe the milk stains and sweat from his face, and then put it back on the bamboo bed.

They really do eat their fill and then sleep, sleep their fill and then eat.

Returning to the inner room to tidy herself up, Meng Tong sat in front of the wooden dressing table, opposite which hung a mirror she had taken from her spatial storage.

Inside, one could clearly see the woman's rosy, alluring cheeks and the faint red marks on her neck.

With a slight flicker in her eyes, Meng Tong casually picked up the rabbit fur scarf hanging nearby, then combed her hair and went out to the kitchen to fetch water for washing up.

"Wife, how about we make dumplings today?"

“Okay,” Meng Tong said while washing her face. “Call me when you’re making dumplings, I’ll come and learn too.”

"it is good."

As Lu Chuan continued to stir-fry the hot food in the wok, a smile played on his lips, his heart overflowing with happiness.

After a quick breakfast, the family of four sat around in the living room, with plenty of ingredients laid out on the table.

There are various fillings, including pure meat, chives, carrots, cabbage, chili peppers, and a bowl of flour.

Looking at the full basin, Lu Chuan said in surprise, "Wife, isn't this too much flour?"

At this rate, we'd need to make several hundred!

Can you finish it?

Lu Chuan was puzzled.

Meng Tong rolled up his sleeves and explained, "Make a lot to keep for later. When you want some, just take them out and cook them."

Her words made a lot of sense, and Lu Chuan couldn't refute them.

Lu Chuan brought over a basin of hot, clean water and instructed the mother and her two daughters, "You just need to wash and chop these vegetables. I'll knead the dough and teach you how to prepare the filling later."

"it is good."

"Okay, Daddy."

Rolling up his sleeves, Lu Chuan joined Meng Tong in washing vegetables, while Lu Chuan kneaded dough on the side.

Take a whole bowl, first wet half of it with hot water, then mix the wet dough together, and then add an appropriate amount of cold water.

Finally, you need to knead the dough vigorously. This step requires a lot of strength and skill in your hands.

Some people can get their hands and bowls clean without getting the food stuck to them, while others can't shake it off no matter what.

This is the reason for technological control.

Lu Chuan was clearly the former; what was originally a lump of batter slowly transformed into a smooth ball under the man's hands, feeling soft and particularly comfortable to the touch.

Lu Chuan placed the dough in a wooden basin to rise, and then came over to Meng Tong and her two daughters.

All the ingredients are ready, and Meng Tong's knife skills are quite good.

"Let's prepare the chive and pork filling first!"

"it is good."

Lu Chuan put a bowl of minced meat and chives together and asked Meng Tong to reach in and mix them well.

"It feels sticky."

While grabbing Meng Tong, he spoke, but his grip was quite strong, effectively wrapping the chives and meat filling together.

"Father, Yan'er wants to try too."

"Go wash your hands first, you just touched the stove."

The man didn't say he disagreed, he just said that.

Lu Yan ran off to wash her hands, and Lu He glanced at her and followed.

Meng Tong slowly turned the chive and pork filling, while Lu Chuan took another bowl containing a lump of already chopped meat filling.

Add the diced carrots, followed by a little chopped green onion, garlic, and other seasonings.

The man handed the bowl to Lu Yan, and the little girl couldn't wait to start spinning it like Meng Tong, and she actually managed to get the hang of it.

Lu He was given another flavor of meat filling to mix with her, while Lu Chuan took a clean wooden bowl to prepare a vegetarian filling.

It contains diced carrots, scrambled wild eggs, diced shiitake mushrooms, and minced scallions, ginger, and garlic.

Simply put everything in a bowl and swirl it around; it's that easy to make.

There are only four flavors in total: three meat and one vegetarian.

With the filling ready, the next step is to make the dough.

The man spread a layer of flour on the table and then pinched the fermented bread from the basin into small pieces.

Using a rolling pin to flatten the dough, Lu Chuanliu began to teach Meng Tong seriously.

As for the Lu sisters, Lu He and Lu Yan, they had already learned it before.

Although it wasn't wrapped very well, it was passable.

Lu Chuan didn't have high expectations of them.

"Like this, scoop the filling into the dough, not too full and not too little, then fold it in half like this, and then..."

Sitting side by side, Lu Chuan showed Meng Tong the steps one by one.

The woman watched intently and studied diligently.

However, after only two or three tries, she could make a decent-looking dumpling.

"My wife, you're wonderful."

"Thank you, Mi taught me very well."

Meng Tong placed the dumplings on the wooden plate and said slyly to Lu Chuan.

The two exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh.

……

It took more than half an hour to wrap all the dumplings. At first, Lu He and Lu Yan were counting them, but later they simply forgot how.

Because there were too many, and also because they didn't know the significance of the numbers.

According to Meng Tong's estimate, there are at least five hundred of them.

Time passed by unnoticed, and it was noon in the blink of an eye.

Perfect timing! Let's make dumplings today. Put the wrapped dumplings into the boiling pot, and they all floated to the surface in just a few minutes.

Lu Chuan was in charge of serving, while Meng Tong put the remaining dumplings into her spatial storage and cleaned up the mess.

She was in a playful mood and smeared a lot of flour on Lu Chuan's face.

The Lu sisters, Lu He and Lu Yan, followed suit, leaving flour under the table for them to play with, so there wasn't much of a difference.

……

The steaming dumplings were served, and their enticing aroma whetted Meng Tong's appetite.

I've been working so hard just for this one bite!

"I've wrapped a coin inside a dumpling. Let's see who's lucky enough to find one in a bit!"

"Huh? Mother, when did you wrap these?" Lu Yan looked up and said, "I didn't see them."

"How many did Mother wrap?"

"There are more than ten!" Meng Tong replied. "This is a surprise, of course I can't let you know. Eat up, let's see who's the luckiest today."

Finished.

The man who had been listening attentively stopped talking.

Calmly reaching into his mouth, Lu Chuan removed the coin from his mouth and placed it on the table. He swallowed what was in his mouth and said, "I got to eat it."

Wow! Daddy is so amazing!

"No, I'm sure I'll get to eat it today."

The two little ones buried their heads in their food, while Meng Tong turned to Lu Chuan and said teasingly, "You're pretty lucky! Did you see me put it out just now?"

"No, I swear."

The man's helpless yet indulgent smile made Meng Tong feel a little awkward. She turned her head and picked up the copper coins on the table. Neng Tong said in a low voice, "Keep eating and see how many rice you can eat today."

"So... is there any reward for eating it?"

What reward do you want?

"I want……"

The sound stopped, and Meng Tong turned her head to look at the man staring at her, her gaze unmistakably blatant.

"Snapped."

Meng Tong raised her hand and gently patted the man's large hand resting on the edge of the table. She glared at him and said, "The child is still here!"

"I didn't say anything!" A sly glint flashed in his eyes, and Lu Chuan chuckled softly, "My wife, you're overthinking it. All I want is for my wife to stay by my side forever, and to always be healthy."

Meng Tong: ……
