Chapter 261 So, the Goddess of Fertility has another identity: a mechanical engineer?
Qiao Manman snatched the paper back, stuffed it into her pocket, and said with an awkward laugh, "I just drew it randomly!"
"No, sister-in-law, your blueprints are ingenious! I feel they're related to what we've been researching lately... hehehehehe..."
Qiao Manman's eyes flickered, and she changed the subject: "How old is Comrade Bai? Does he have a girlfriend?"
As she spoke, she poured him a cup of tea. While he wasn't looking, she slipped a "Unity Pill" into it.
Bai Jiafu smiled shyly: "Sister-in-law, we're so busy with work, there aren't any girls at my workplace, where am I supposed to find a partner? If you know anyone suitable, could you introduce me to someone?"
A figure flashed through Qiao Manman's mind, and she asked, "When do you usually rest?"
"It's hard to say. Usually, after completing a task, you can take ten days to half a month off."
Qiao Manman hummed in agreement, and seeing that he had drunk most of the tea, she got up to cook.
Rice with two kinds of vegetables, shredded potatoes, cured pork, vermicelli, cabbage, and fried eggs.
The aroma wafted through the small living room, but Bai Jiafu had no interest in what to eat for dinner.
My mind was filled with the design drawings I had just seen, and I felt that my sister-in-law's research skills were in no way inferior to those of the engineers in her company.
Suddenly, she heard someone knocking on the door. Qiao Manman wiped her hands and came over to turn the doorknob.
Lu Yuan came in, caught sight of Bai Jiafu, and greeted him with a smile: "You're out?"
"Hello, Brother Lu!" Bai Jiafu stood up. "I've been on leave recently, and after asking Ying Jie and the others about your and your wife's address, I came over."
She then pulled two bags of milk powder from her bag: "These are wedding gifts for you two!"
"Thank you!" Lu Yuan offered him a seat, washed his hands, and came over to talk to him.
During dinner, the three of them didn't talk about work, but instead reminisced about the bombing in the provincial capital and how thrilling it was.
He also described how the assassins chased and ambushed him on the train. If it weren't for Lu Yuan and Lu Yifeng protecting him, he would have lost his life there.
"Sister-in-law, you have no idea, I was so scared that I dropped my safety rope. I searched the carriages for days, but I couldn't find it."
Qiao Manman's eyes flickered: "I'll get you another one another day!"
Bai Jiafu smiled and said, "Then thank you very much, sister-in-law!"
After dinner, Bai Jiafu got up to say goodbye, and Qiao Manman then noticed that there were two young soldiers standing outside her door.
Bai Jiafu touched his nose: "Sister-in-law, these are my brothers, Ying Jie and Wu Da."
Qiao Manman nodded and greeted the two of them.
"Alright, I'll head back now. Let's talk another day!"
"Okay, slow down on the road!"
Qiao Manman watched the two walk away, then looked at Lu Yuan curiously: "What's going on?"
Lu Yuan hesitated for a long time before saying, "Actually, half of the research results from the provincial capital's machinery factory are his!"
Qiao Manman: "......"
"Wait, let me sort this out!"
His mind raced through the plots of the novels he had read, and he casually released a soundproof array: "Let me guess, Bai Jiafu is actually a genius designer hiding in the shadows."
You and Lu Yifeng went to the provincial capital's machinery factory to protect him, one openly and the other covertly.
Back then, the provincial capital's machinery factory was teeming with spies, and they even carried out such a massive bombing. Ostensibly, it was to eliminate you, but their real target was the genius designer.
And Bai Jiafu's move north to take care of Lu Yifeng was also part of your plan. He might not even have the surname Bai.
The assassination attempt on the road was also against him; you were victims of his undeserved misfortune.
Lu Yuan chuckled: "I didn't say anything!"
Qiao Manman's eyes lit up: "I guessed right! So, there's a huge research institute hidden in the military?"
Lu Yuan remained silent.
Qiao Manman snapped her fingers: "I guessed right again!"
Thinking of something, she took out the design drawing: "Bai Jiafu saw it by accident just now, it should be fine, right?"
"It's alright, his background has been verified by multiple sources, he's trustworthy! It's just... your life might not be very peaceful from now on!"
"I am the chief disciple of the Goddess of Fertility, so my life is never peaceful."
"So, the Goddess of Fertility is also a mechanical engineer?"
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, what do you think!" Qiao Manman chose to avoid the question.
That evening, Bai Jiafu returned to the research institute and copied the blueprints he had seen.
It must be said that he has an excellent memory; in just a few seconds, he had memorized most of the drawing. The line data on it was almost entirely correct.
Bai Jiafu studied the blueprint overnight, finding it increasingly fascinating.
"With a slight modification, it can be used in the engine to significantly improve the performance of the fighter jet."
Before he knew it, dawn had broken. Bai Jiafu got up to report to his superior...
***
Qiao Manman didn't take that meeting seriously. When she heard that Meng Peiyu hadn't come out of the hospital, she went to visit her with several of her sisters-in-law.
The weather has been great these past few days; the bright sunshine feels warm on my skin.
Qiao Manman was carrying the frozen chicken that Meng Peiyu had given her, which was shrouded in black mist, in her left hand, and two apples in her right hand.
With a worried look, she said, "Sister Chen, where do you feel unwell? We've had so many tests but haven't been able to find the cause. How about we go to another hospital?"
Meng Peiyu closed her eyes briefly: "No need! I just have some blockages in my body, and I'm prone to vomiting blood when I get emotional. Once they're expelled, I'll be fine. I'm perfectly healthy now!"
"Is that so? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing!" Qiao Manman tucked the blanket around her. "It's good that you're alright. I was so scared when I heard you were in the hospital!"
Meng Peiyu hummed in agreement and asked, "I heard there was a landslide over by the stream. Was Battalion Commander Lu injured?"
"No, he's on a mission, he didn't go there. Sister Chen is so kind-hearted, even when she's in the hospital she's thinking of us family members. Did Commander Chen tell you that?"
Meng Peiyu's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly tried to cover it up: "No, no. I heard from my sister-in-law in the family compound that something happened over there, and it just so happened that Battalion Commander Lu was on a mission. I just assumed he went there!"
Qiao Manman laughed: "How could that be! Lu Yuan is just an ordinary person. No matter how capable he is, he can't fight against the power of nature."
He's going to the ditch, won't he get buried? Don't you think so?
"Yes, yes, the mountain in Xiaohegou was struck by lightning. Sister Chen has been in the hospital for too long and her mind is confused."
After putting on a show, Qiao Manman left the military hospital and went into the city with her sisters-in-law to shop.
She bought a small amount of rice, flour, and cooking oil. Seeing that they had dried persimmons for sale, she bought two jin (approximately 1 kg).
On the way back, I chatted with people, completely absorbed in the conversation.
There are always those spoilsport guys who keep pressuring her to have a baby. Qiao Manman gave an awkward laugh: "No rush, we just got married, I want to be free for a few more years!"
This approach won't work on some women who are obsessed with having children: "Little Lu's wife, you can't be careless. Carrying on the family line is a big deal; don't delay until you can't have children at all..."
It went in one ear and out the other for Qiao Manman.
They said, "I heard that Commander He has some medicine that can make you have children. Why don't you go and buy some? It only costs eighty yuan, and you can have two children in one go. It's a good deal!"
