Back in the courtyard, Meng Tong carried Lu Huai back into the house to change his diaper and feed him, while Lu Chuan went to the kitchen to make lunch.

On the warm bed, the chubby little Lu Huai was stripped naked by Meng Tong, his lotus root-like limbs kicking and thrashing about with joy.

"Don't move, Mommy's changing your diaper!"

"Giggle."

Patting the little guy's bottom, Meng Tong skillfully changed his diaper. Lu Huai thought she was playing with him, and his giggles wouldn't stop.

"Mother, you're back!" Lu He and Lu Yan pushed open the door and ran in naturally. They handed Meng Tong a piece of paper and said, "This is the task Mother asked us to do, and my sister and I have completed it!"

"Hmm." Glancing sideways, Meng Tong smiled and said, "Let's put it on the table first! Mother will look at it later."

"Okay!"

Lu He and Lu Yan neatly placed their things on the table and came over to help.

Meng Tong put the clothes back on him, bent down to tie the ties, and Lu He and Lu Yan whispered in the little guy's ear.

She would stroke the little guy's thick hair one moment and his rosy cheeks the next, her face beaming with joy, a stark contrast to her previous demeanor.

Seeing the loving scene between the three siblings, Meng Tong smiled.

After putting the little guy back on the bamboo bed, Meng Tong picked up her sisters' things from the table.

This was the task she assigned to the two sisters this morning: to learn to read.

Since the winter days were filled with nothing to do due to the daily snowfall, Meng Tong had the idea of ​​teaching children to read.

It is especially important for girls to learn to read.

In less than a month, the two sisters had learned all the characters from one to ten.

Today, Mengtong instructed them to memorize these ten characters, writing each character five times.

Nothing else is required, but you must write carefully and have the right attitude.

With a serious expression, he unfolded the folded paper, revealing Lu He's handwriting.

My first impression was that she was fair, and her demeanor was delicate with a touch of naivety.

Meng Tong was quite satisfied, a smile appearing on his lips as he said, "Very good! He'er has improved a lot, just this..."

Lu He listened attentively and made serious corrections after receiving careful feedback; the little guy definitely has the drive to learn.

Holding her hands tightly, Lu Yan listened to her mother and sister's conversation with some trepidation.

When Meng Tong opened her letter, Lu Yan swallowed hard and secretly glanced at Meng Tong.

The woman's face was expressionless, even serious.

Is this a sign of dissatisfaction?

Lu Yan's hands clenched unconsciously. Just as she was about to apologize, Meng Tong spoke, his voice filled with obvious surprise.

"Yan'er writes very well! Although it's not as neat as He'er's, it has a free and easy feel to it, which is beyond Mother's expectations."

"really?"

"Of course it's true." Looking up at Lu Yan, who clearly didn't believe it, Meng Tong reached out and patted her head before continuing, "Yan'er is really great, and He'er is also very good."

"How about your dad gives you extra chicken legs later?"

"Great."

The two little ones were overjoyed and their voices grew louder, startling Lu Huai, who was already half asleep.

He glanced at the two sisters with a resentful look, then turned his head away and ignored them.

That little face is so cute.

Embarrassed, the two sisters rubbed their faces and skipped out the door, while Meng Tong stayed inside packing her things.

Actually, there's not much to bring; just enough food and clothing. She'll be coming back to live here in the future.

First, put away some thick winter clothes, then move on to things you don't use often.

Within half an hour of searching, nearly a third of the items in the house were missing.

……

"My wife, dinner is ready."

Lu Chuan's voice came from outside. Meng Tong responded and then picked up the little guy and walked towards the living room.

They ran right into the man coming out of Lu He's room.

Naturally, Lu Chuan took the person from her arms and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Let's go! I made braised pork and braised spare ribs today."

"I haven't had braised pork in a long time, I really miss it."

Meng Tong said with delight.

Lu Chuanjun smiled, holding his son in one arm and wrapping his arm around Meng Tong's waist with the other.

He said, "I can eat more today."

"Yes, I want to eat three bowls of rice."

"it is good."

As soon as they sat down in the kitchen, Lu He and Lu Yan followed them in. After showing off their morning's work to Lu Chuan, they took the initiative to serve Meng Tong rice.

"Here you go, Mother."

"Thank you, He'er."

Meng Tong received a full bowl of rice with a happy expression.

As a result, I actually ate three bowls of rice today, and almost ate too much at the end.

After finishing his meal, Lu Chuan was about to breastfeed Lu Huai, who was hungry again.

Meng Tong and the Lu sisters, Lu He and Lu Yan, took on the important task of cleaning the living room.

Two of them washed the dishes, and one swept the floor; they worked together quite well.

……

After everything was finished, Meng Tong walked outside, where Lu Chuan was breastfeeding Lu Huai under the eaves.

The man's head was slightly lowered, his eyelashes were lowered, and he exuded a serious and peaceful aura.

The bright sunlight shone down, and this scene brought a long-lost sense of peace to my heart.

"Mother, what are you looking at? Why aren't you moving?"

"Uh... I didn't see anything."

Meng Tong awkwardly touched the tip of her nose and walked towards the two of them, with Lu He and Lu Yan following behind.

Today the sky is clear and the weather is not hot at all; it's a very comfortable day.

The family sat under the eaves, and Meng Tong thought for a moment before saying, "Let's set off back to the village the day after tomorrow!"

"Mother, are you saying we're going back to the village?"

"Ah."

"Wow, that was fast!" Lu He exclaimed.

As for Lu Chuan's lack of reaction, that was within his expectations.

Lu Yan was quite excited, after all, it was the place where she was born.

"Mother, what should we do here?"

Pointing to the courtyard, Lu He asked with some reluctance.

The little girl has already developed an affection for the valley; she really likes it here.

Touching Lu He's little face, Meng Tong said, "Of course we'll keep it safe! Mother will bring you back to stay from time to time."

"But...it will take a long time to walk."

Just thinking about this made Lu He and Lu Yan's heels ache.

My previous experience in the mountains is still vivid in my mind! I was quite excited at first, but later I couldn't walk anymore.

Lu Chuan carried about a third of the way in.

"Don't worry about that, I have a solution."

Meng Tong said slyly.

"any solution?"

"What are you saying, Mother?"

"Miss..."

The three of them looked at her curiously. Meng Tong blinked twice and then said, "I can let you go back to the village without walking."

"No, if we don't need to walk, how will we get back?"

"Would you like to ride in an oxcart?"

Lu Yan said uncertainly.

Then his gaze drifted to the clearing in the valley, where three plump and strong bison stood.

If it's based on them...
