Chapter 198 So, will we be able to go to the capital to see Tiananmen Square from now on?
After thanking him, He Nian went out into the outer room. Her eyes were red as she looked at Qiao Runming, whose body was trembling.
"Go on, what are you being shy about!" Qiao Manman pushed Qiao Runming, who blushed and stepped forward to hold He Nian's arm.
He Nian then remembered that she had a daughter, and felt a pang of guilt for her outburst.
Qiao Manman didn't care. She followed Yan Chengke to the hospital's small garden and took the two hundred yuan from his hand: "Comrade Qiao, I hope that Youfeng and I can also have our wishes fulfilled like your mother's."
Qiao Manman put the money in her pocket: "Director Yan, come to Qingshan Brigade in three days, and I'll guarantee you a twin pregnancy. But, are your three kids at home ready for their little brother or sister?"
“I asked them for their opinions, and they said that as long as Youfeng doesn’t beat, scold, or mistreat the children like other stepmothers, they would welcome the new member.”
Qiao Manman nodded: "I hope you can treat all children equally, take care of their emotions, and help them grow up healthily!"
"Yes, thank you, Comrade Xiao Qiao!"
Yan Chengke left, and Lu Yuan emerged from the shadows, his gaze towards Qiao Manman filled with curiosity.
"Wife, what kind of riddle are you playing? You can't let me know?"
He was so anxious he couldn't wait to ask, but he just couldn't find an opportunity to ask.
Asking this question now isn't necessarily about getting an answer.
He just hoped that Qiao Manman would talk to him and not let her be distracted by other men on their first day of marriage.
Qiao Manman's eyes darted around, and she asked, "Lu Yuan, are there many people in your team who are having difficulty conceiving?"
Lu Yuan remained silent for a while before nodding: "Some train hard, some go on missions in extreme weather, and some get injured, so many of them can't have children."
Qiao Manman's eyes lit up as she listened: "You can come to me! I have a secret formula for having children. As long as the parts are still there, I can make his dream of having a child come true!"
Lu Yuan excitedly grabbed Qiao Manman's arm: "Are you serious?"
"Absolutely! But that medicine is very expensive, and you might not be able to afford it."
"How expensive is it?"
"One pill costs 100 yuan, and both husband and wife must take it at the same time. The fertility pill can not only help with childbirth, but also slightly adjust the couple's condition, making their life more harmonious."
Lu Yuan, being a virgin, didn't understand what Qiao Manman meant.
He simply nodded: "It's alright, not particularly expensive. Those rough guys eat and drink at the team's place, so they don't have much money to spend. They should be able to afford it."
Of course, there are exceptions among some honest but unfortunate individuals. After learning they couldn't have children, they sent all their money back home to support their nephews and nieces, while they themselves lived a miserable life.
I wonder if I'll regret it after finding out about such a miraculous pill.
"Alright, when I go to join the army, you can ask around for me. If you don't have the money, you can pay me in advance. I don't care about a pittance. My main goal is to benefit mankind."
Lu Yuan suppressed a laugh: "I know! But honey, how much medicine do you have?"
If there's a large quantity, we can cooperate with the military region. I believe other units also greatly need this miracle drug.
Qiao Manman hesitated, then asked the system with her consciousness, "System, is there a secret formula for the Fertility Pill?"
"Have!"
"Can other people achieve the effect of having twins in one pregnancy by following the secret recipe?"
"No, host! Everything produced by the system is of the highest quality. It contains many century-old medicinal herbs or mutated medicinal materials."
Using ordinary medicinal herbs prepared from external sources can only improve the condition of men and women trying to conceive, increasing their chances of getting pregnant. It cannot guarantee pregnancy, nor can it guarantee twins.
However, as long as the host becomes pregnant, they will gain merit. If this could be widely adopted, it would be a good thing.
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Qiao Manman nodded: "We can cooperate with the military region. However, my prescription requires many rare medicinal herbs, and the preparation method is very unique."
Others might not be able to achieve the miraculous effect of having two babies in one pregnancy.
Lu Yuan nodded: "It's alright, I'll go talk to them!"
Qiao Manman hummed in agreement and went to the door to meet Qiao Runming, He Nian, and Xie Susu. The five of them returned to Qingshan Brigade together.
The news of the couple getting their marriage certificate had already spread throughout the village. Many people were waiting at the village entrance, ready to take a look at their marriage certificate and see how it differed from those of the villagers.
As soon as he saw the candy, he forgot all about the important matter. He smiled and congratulated Qiao Manman and Lu Yuan, praising them as a perfect match.
When are you planning to take care of this matter?
"I'm hosting a dinner party in the village the day after tomorrow, and then I'll go back to Kyoto to take care of some business."
"Battalion Commander Lu, your hometown is Kyoto? Oh my, does that mean we can go to the capital to see Tiananmen Square from now on?"
Qiao Manman nodded: "If the aunties go to the capital, I'll cover all their food and lodging!"
"Wow, Qiao family's little girl is so generous!"
Qiao Manman said with a smile, "As long as you're willing to give up your work points from the fields!"
"Our feelings are really playing us! Hahaha, to be honest, we're really reluctant to let go."
Work points are life itself; missing even a few days' worth is a big deal. If only there were a day when we could eat and drink our fill without relying on work points!
"Yes, definitely. Go back and let your child study hard; their future will be bright."
The aunties nodded: "We can see that. It's good to be educated; at the very least, you can marry into a good family."
At that moment, everyone completely forgot about the educated youth who had been sent to the countryside. They only remembered the empty promises Qiao Manman had made for them.
Years later, this pancake actually helped them change their circumstances and achieve a comfortable life.
At noon, the family sat in the yard building a stove. Bricks and mud were piled up little by little. It didn't need to be too elaborate; just enough to support the large iron pot would suffice.
We chatted and laughed, and didn't feel tired at all. By the time the stack was finished, lunch was ready.
A simple bowl of noodles, yet it tasted like the most delicious food in the world. Xie Susu felt like she had wasted the past few decades of her life.
"How were these noodles cooked? They're so delicious!"
Qiao Manman made an excuse, saying, "It might be because I added shrimp, which makes it taste better."
In fact, she put mutant wheat grains in the soup.
The vegetables were picked from the green belt around the space villa, the eggs were taken from under the chickens' rear ends at the space ranch, and the shrimp were caught from the seawater pool—they were exceptionally fresh.
Apart from the white flour, all the ingredients are top-quality, so how could it not taste delicious?
Xie Susu ate one bowl after another until her stomach was bulging and she couldn't eat anymore. Then she waved her hand and said, "I can't take it anymore, I need to go out and digest."
I thought to myself that my son has a good eye; from now on, he'll never go hungry.
After eating and resting for a while, we got busy again.
I fried meatballs with leftover meat from home. The aroma of the meatballs wafted for miles, making even the most restless children drool and squat at the doorway.
Qiao Manman scooped out a bowl and asked Lu Yuan to distribute it to them: "Just let them have a taste, I wouldn't dare let them eat as much as they want."
Kids have big appetites; if they eat freely, the limited ingredients at home simply won't be enough.
Lu Yuan nodded: "Okay, I understand!"
Inside, work continued, while outside, laughter filled the air. As night fell, Chen Dashan arrived.
"Niece Manman, I heard you have medicine that can make you have a child. Can I buy two?"
