“Our family is doing quite well now. My dad has a stable job, my mom just gave birth to twins, and Lu Yuan and I each have our own careers. We're doing great, no worse off than you guys!”
To be honest, there are still differences, but she has room for improvement, and things will only get better for her in the future!
Qiao Lixin nodded: "It's good to have such ambition, but our Qiao family still has some resources at our disposal!"
"No, no, no, the situation is unclear right now, I'd better keep a low profile!"
People's thoughts cannot be changed overnight. Even though Qiao Lingyue has been exonerated, to most people he is still a dangerous element who promotes feudal dregs and marries a capitalist's daughter.
Therefore, the old man did not publicly acknowledge his relationship with Qiao Manman, partly because he wanted to continue tormenting Qiao Zhicheng.
Qiao Manman told Qiao Lixin about the old man's condition, which brought tears to his eyes and filled him with gratitude.
"Manman, thank you, Uncle..."
"We're family, so let's not be formal. Grandpa's really something now, you know about those fertility pills, right? Grandpa made them!"
Lu Yuan glanced at her, thinking to himself that his wife could come up with lies so easily.
How could Qiao Lixin, who rose to the rank of deputy brigade commander, not have access to information?
He glared at Qiao Manman: "You're even playing tricks on your uncle. Looks like you're not satisfied with the gift I gave you!"
Qiao Manman clutched the thick red envelope in her hand, chuckled, and felt a little guilty.
"Hey, why don't you talk to Commander He and ask him to give our troops a bigger share?"
We're all brothers and sisters who've suffered together; it's really hard to talk about damage in that area.
Qiao Manman blinked: "Uncle, having a child and being invincible are two different things. The fertility pill can only make them have babies!"
Qiao Lixin's ears were burning: "I didn't say I wanted them to do *that*, at least to be able to stand up and complete basic reproduction."
Qiao Manman: "..."
Oh, what a sad story, it made her feel embarrassed.
"Well, I think we should focus on getting our bodies in order first and removing any obstacles before talking about having children."
“Who says otherwise!” Qiao Lixin glanced at her: “The key issue is that the doctors here are incompetent, and my father and your grandfather have been detained by that guy surnamed He…”
Mentioning this, Qiao Lixin was truly furious and had nowhere to vent her anger: "Go back and thank him for me!"
It has to be said that if it weren't for the pressure they put in to get the old man out of trouble, he would probably still be feeding pigs somewhere!
Seriously, it was just two days off. If it had been two days later, he wouldn't have kept his job. You could only say, God helped him!
Qiao Manman smiled and said, "I will convey your gratitude!"
The group ended the topic and started talking about other things until late at night. Qiao Manman and Lu Yuan went back to their rooms to sleep, with two little tails following behind them.
Qiao Manman put the two dogs, whose stomachs were rumbling, into her space and prepared a large bowl of dog food, lots of meat, and fruit for them.
Lu Yuan and I lay in the clean blankets prepared by my aunt, and we fell asleep in no time.
The next day, most of the family members went to work, leaving only Qiao Yunyi and their two children behind.
Qiao Manman took out a bag of candy and a bag of beef jerky from her bundle and teased her little nephew: "Good boy, call me auntie!"
"Auntie!" Two sweet little voices rang out at the same time, and Qiao Manman's heart melted.
"Oh my, how can my little one be so cute? Do you want to come home with your aunt for a while?"
"No, no, no, those two are too naughty, you can't handle them!" Qiao Yunyi sent his son to play aside.
Qiao Manman made a polite remark and asked, "How is the injury? Have you seen a doctor?"
Qiao Yunyi nodded: "The doctor told me to rest for a while, saying it would be a miracle if I came back unharmed!"
As she spoke, she gave Lu Yuan a strange look: "You..."
"Forget it, if you ever don't like Manman anymore, just send her back. Please don't try anything weird!"
Qiao Manman raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself, "Does she think someone who knows magic is Lu Yuan?"
Lu Yuan declared resolutely, "I will love Manman for ten thousand years!"
Qiao Manman raised her hand to cover her forehead, thinking to herself, "This is really outrageous. Ten thousand years? It sounds like pure nonsense."
"You might as well just nod!" Qiao Manman said through gritted teeth.
Lu Yuan replied seriously, "I'm telling the truth!"
Qiao Yunyi couldn't bear to watch: "Alright, alright, stop showing off. Anyway, I can't do anything about it if you don't agree!"
After saying that, he slumped into the sofa, looking listless and weak.
Qiao Manman comforted him, "Cousin, don't worry, I've always been the one who has Lu Yuan under my control!"
Qiao Yunyi glanced at her: "You? Skinny arms and legs..."
I won't believe it even if I beat him to death!
"Forget it, I can't explain it to you. But if he bullies you, just come to me, and I'll stand up for you!"
Qiao Manman nodded with a smile: "Isn't your second cousin a military doctor? Didn't he take care of your health?"
"Ha, he's a Western doctor. He's studied medicine for decades, but he can't even accurately feel a pulse!"
If he hadn't eventually gotten into medical school, Grandpa would have been incredibly frustrated. So many children and grandchildren, and not a single one of them followed in his footsteps!
Qiao Manman also found it amusing: "Then stretch out your hand, and I'll take your pulse!"
Qiao Yunyi's eyes widened: "You learned traditional Chinese medicine from Grandpa?"
"Just a little bit, just a little bit!" Qiao Manman laughed heartily, striking a pose.
Qiao Yunyi recalled Qiao Lixin's words "playing tricks," and suddenly felt like watching a show, or rather, trying to find out what was going on.
Qiao Manman pretended to touch his wrist, nodding as she did so. As for what she touched, she couldn't say for sure.
"The problem is a bit big, but it's okay, I can handle it!"
"Oh, really? How do we solve this?"
"Just ask Grandpa for the pills, it's super easy!"
You're really stupid. If you had just asked your uncle to take you to the hospital where your grandfather works, everything would have been solved.
What, are you hiding your family background?
Qiao Yunyi said awkwardly, "I just felt it was unnecessary. The doctor said there wouldn't be any aftereffects, so I didn't want to trouble Grandpa."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and gently poked Qiao Manman's forehead: "Your skills are not up to par, are they? You can't take pulses for people anymore!"
Qiao Manman nodded: "I was just touching it for fun!"
She went into the kitchen and poured him a cup of tea.
Qiao Yunyi found it particularly fragrant and mellow, and felt warm all over after drinking it.
He slept very soundly at noon, and when he woke up, his wound didn't hurt as much.
He looked at Qiao Manman in shock: "How did you do that?"
Qiao Manman took out a small bottle: "Uncle's information is still not complete!"
He wasn't told that the bottle contained a low-grade version of the Rejuvenation Pill; he was only instructed to take it every three days to ensure that he wouldn't recover too quickly or excessively.
Qiao Yunyi agreed and took the two out for a stroll—no, to set up a blind date for the dog.
Qiao Manman almost drooled when she saw a row of more than a dozen military dogs with bright fur and straight backs.
"Huang Huang, it's not like I can't have three palaces and six courtyards, why don't you take on the burden and share the favors equally?"
Big Yellow barked, "Woman, is this something you could say after decades of socialist education?"
Qiao Manman raised her hand and gently tapped its head: "Just tell me if you want to go or not. Of course, I'm only suggesting, I won't force you!"
