Over here, the Lu sisters, Lu He and Lu Yan, had already fallen asleep by the bamboo bed. Because they had always had the habit of taking a nap at noon, they would get sleepy at that time.

They had just slept for a little over an hour when Meng Tong was about to wake the two little ones, but they woke up on their own.

"Mother, you're back."

Lu Yan sat up from the chair and affectionately took Meng Tong's hand; the little guy was very clingy as soon as he woke up.

Meng Tong patted her little head and then rubbed Lu He's little face.

Then he pulled over a stool and sat down, looking at Lu Huai on the bamboo bed.

The little guy was still asleep, and his chubby little body rose and fell with his breath, making him especially adorable. Meng Tong couldn't help but reach out and pinch his little face.

Did your little brother drink milk just now?

"I drank it; it was my father who fed me."

Lu He replied.

Nodding, Meng Tong reached out and touched Lu Huai's diaper again. It was dry, so he hadn't urinated yet.

But it's been so long since he last had an excretion!

In the past, Lu Huai would have his diaper changed at least four to six times a day, but today, half a day has passed since he came out of the valley, and the boy's diaper is still dry.

Meng Tong was a little worried that something might be wrong with his health.

Meng Tong used his special abilities to scan the little guy's entire body, but he still couldn't find the answer, and the little guy successfully woke up.

"Ah."

With drool dripping from her little mouth, she made two cute but fierce "ah ah" sounds at Meng Tong, and then started waving her arms and legs around non-stop.

"What's wrong? Are you hungry?"

Meng Tong muttered something, picked him up, and then looked at his diaper again.

"Huai'er, what's wrong with you! Why haven't you peed or pooped today!"

Lu Huai: ...

Ignoring Meng Tong, Lu Huai simply reached out and forcefully pulled at the diaper covering him, making urgent "ah ah" sounds.

"Mommy, does my little brother mean he doesn't want diapers anymore, because they're uncomfortable?"

"I think so. I'll take it for him then!"

Meng Tong lifted the diaper and looked at the little guy's bottom. It was a little red, but it was okay.

Just as Meng Tong retrieved the medicine from his spatial storage to apply to his wounds, Lu Huai did something.

A warm current flowed down her legs and feet. Meng Tong looked at the little guy's younger brother in disbelief, and suddenly a fountain of energy appeared.

He did it on purpose; he must have done it on purpose.

Meng Tong glanced at Lu Huai, who looked completely relaxed, took three deep breaths, and asked through gritted teeth, "Little guy, you're not doing this on purpose, are you?"

Lu Huai: ...

He remained silent, yet smug; Meng Tong was speechless.

His elderly mother is his toy, and this little guy has actually learned to control his bowel movements.

Although this is something he shouldn't be able to control at his age, unfortunately he has loopholes.

"Giggle."

Seeing Meng Tong's discomfiture made him very happy. He kept laughing and looking into her eyes with a hint of provocation.

See, I can control it too.

……

After showing off enough, Meng Tong faced reality, changed the baby's clothes, and continued breastfeeding.

As for Lu Chuan and his two children, they began preparing dinner.

They skillfully set up the fire pit, then lit the fire, heated the pot, and cooked the oil, making sure they could have whatever they wanted to eat.

They have chicken stew with mushrooms, braised pork, pork rib soup, and so on. The food these days is really good.

They ate their first meal back in the village around the table, and then Lu Chuan continued working on the house and organizing the things Meng Tong had brought out.

In just over half a day, the small square was already quite nice, with everything you needed except for the inconvenient shower facilities.

Sitting in a deckchair enjoying the sunset, Meng Tong glanced at Lu Chuan, who was breastfeeding Lu Huai, and asked, "Where did the village used to have water?"

"It's right in front of the village chief's house, but I didn't go to see it today. There used to be a well there, filled with spring water from Laoshan Mountain, but I don't know if it still is."

"The drought had been going on for a long time."

"Then why don't we go take a look now?" Meng Tong replied, "It's inconvenient without water."

"Okay, then I'll go with my wife to take a look later."

"it is good."

Lu Chuan sped up the feeding of Lu Huai, while Lu He and Lu Yan, the two sisters, sat at the table practicing calligraphy as dawn broke.

After eating and drinking his fill, Lu Huai fell asleep again, instructing the two sisters and Bai Ye to take good care of the little guy.

Lu Chuan and Meng Tong walked towards the only house that hadn't collapsed.

"My wife, I'll hold your hand."

"it is good."

Reaching out to grasp Lu Chuan's left hand, the two arrived at the village chief's brick house.

Compared to the other houses, the village chief's house is indeed the most intact; even the cowshed is still there.

After glancing at it casually, the two walked toward the well that Lu Chuan had mentioned.

We haven't arrived yet!

Meng Tong could already hear the sound of water, and the ground around him was also very damp.

"My lady, there should be water in the well now."

The man said, pointing to the damp ground.

Meng Tong nodded, and the two finally arrived at the so-called well.

Clear water flowed out from a crack in the rock, surrounded by piles of dead branches and leaves.

A large stone slab covered the well, and the water overflowed and flowed down to the ground.

No wonder the village feels so humid.

Bending down to move the stone slab aside, the well, which used to only be half full, was now overflowing with a steady stream of cool water.

Because the stone slab was moved, the water flow accelerated significantly, and the dead branches and leaves that had been piled up to the side were washed away.

The well has a slope, and after being flushed, the exposed surface is a stone slab covered with moss.

Meng Tong laughed; this was simply the perfect spot to do laundry!

Of course, the happiest thing is having water to use.

Lu Chuan and Meng Tong found two bamboo brooms in their spatial storage and began sweeping around the well.

Because it was all made of stones, and there was water, the two of them cleaned it up in no time.

Clear, cool groundwater gushed out, and soon a plot of land that used to belong to the village chief was completely submerged.

Meng Tong bit her lip and looked at Lu Chuan, saying, "This water can't just keep piling up in the village!"

"Hmm." The man nodded, his eyes fixed on the direction of the flowing water.

The well is on a slope, and below it is a low-lying area. At first, all the water flowing down can be absorbed, but if too much water is absorbed, it will form a pond, which will be very inconvenient for water use later.

Lu Chuan's deep, dark eyes flickered slightly as he looked into the distance. There was actually a small mountain blocking the view in front of Duanshan Village.

There are no rivers to divert the water.

The two fell into deep thought, unable to come up with a good solution for the time being.

But let's take it one step at a time!

Having water is better than having no water.

After taking the wooden bucket out of the space, filling it with water, and putting it back into the space, the two returned to the small square by the same route.

Along the way, Lu Chuan observed the entire Duanshan Village. Previously, the view was obstructed by houses of varying heights, so its original appearance was not very clear.

However, the terrain of the houses in Duanshan Village is actually somewhat like a valley, with slopes.

Of course, the good thing is that it's very complete, which is helpful for their future planning.
