Chapter 379 You're lucky, so are you!
Qiao Manman folded the letter and put it in her bag. Just as she was about to mention the health-strengthening pills and the "Three Thousand Green Silks" shampoo, someone knocked on the door again.
He could only obediently wait on the side, smiling and explaining to the patient's surprised gaze that he was Dr. Qiao's assistant.
In just one afternoon, she received six couples, which gives you an idea of how much work Qiao Lingyue does every day.
“Grandpa can also try to delegate some of the work. In such a large military hospital, it’s impossible for you to be the only one who knows how to take a pulse.”
Qiao Lingyue laughed: "It's just the beginning, we need someone of high moral standing to keep things in order!"
Actually, the concern was that some of the people rescued might be careless and fall for the fertility pills tricked by spies. Therefore, they needed training and observation, and only after passing the assessment could they come to the office to practice medicine.
In the evening, after the clinic closed, the finance department came to Qiao Lingyue for a signature: "Dr. Qiao, you've worked hard. Go home and rest early!"
Qiao Lingyue waved and chatted with Qiao Manman as he walked home. The young soldier Leng Zhixian followed behind him.
As soon as the three of them entered the family compound, they smelled a strong fragrance.
Qiao Manman said, "I promised to bring you chicken. Here, two chickens. You can eat your fill today!"
Qiao Lingyue invited, "Xiao Leng, let's have dinner together tonight!"
Leng Zhixian blushed and shook her head: "Dr. Qiao, there is food in the cafeteria!"
"Whether you have food or not is none of your business, let's go home!"
After saying that, he pulled Leng Zhixian inside. Tao Yingzhen saw the group and greeted them warmly: "Little Leng is here! Come on, come on, wash your hands and have some food."
"Manman, there are strawberries inside, wash a few for Xiaoleng!"
"Okay!" Qiao Manman came into the house, brought out a bowl, and went to the kitchen to wash the fruit.
Tao Yingzhen asked her, "Are you tired this afternoon? You finally have a day off, and you still go to keep that old man company. What a waste of time!"
Qiao Manman chuckled, "If Grandma gets bored, she can go over and listen to the stories. You wouldn't believe how interesting those patients are; I witnessed all walks of life in just one afternoon!"
"Ugh, what's so good about it? It's all just a bunch of bullshit and nonsense."
Women who don't have children suffer, and women who have children suffer too. I don't understand why these people insist on making life even harder!
"Grandma, do you feel bitter?"
"Grandma is lucky, her family is wealthy, and your grandfather received a Western education and respects his wife. You are lucky too, Xiao Lu is responsible and goes along with you in every way."
But how many women in this world are as lucky as we are? There are countless others who spend their lives suffering, oblivious to their own misfortune.
Qiao Manman agreed. Even after writing such a terrible article, everyone still thought that having children and being a slave to one's in-laws was happiness. What could she do?
However, everything takes time. Perhaps decades later, women will awaken and live for themselves. Her articles will then be labeled "feudal and decadent."
But so what? She didn't care. She ladled the chicken soup into a bowl, smelled it, and exclaimed, "It smells so good!"
I took the food back to the house and ate with my grandparents and Xiao Leng. There was no awkwardness at all.
After dinner, I sat for a while before heading home.
Looking at the dark night, Tao Yingzhen took her hand and said, "Let's stay here and go back when it's light tomorrow."
Just as Qiao Manman was about to refuse, a tall figure appeared at the door, accompanied by a dog.
Da Huang excitedly pounced on Qiao Manman, rubbing against her and pulling at her clothes.
Qiao Manman laughed: "Grandma, it's not that I don't want to stay, it's just that my Dahuang is stubborn. If he doesn't leave soon, he'll tear my clothes."
Lu Yuan stepped forward and greeted Qiao Lingyue and Tao Yingzhen: "Good evening, Grandpa and Grandma!"
As he spoke, he handed over a basket of cucumbers and tomatoes.
Seeing this, Tao Yingzhen waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, go back and get some sleep."
"Grandma, you should get some rest too. Grandpa, you should pay attention to balancing work and rest these days. If you can't keep going, just tell Commander He. We're not in a hurry to push forward with the business."
He turned to Leng Zhixian and said, "Comrade Leng, you've worked hard these past few days. Come over for dinner sometime."
Leng Zhixian raised her hand in salute: "Deputy Regiment Commander Lu, this is all I should do!"
Lu Yuan nodded and left with his wife.
In a secluded spot, Qiao Manman wrapped her arms around Lu Yuan's waist and buried her face in his back. Lu Yuan chuckled and moved forward, while Da Huang ran wildly beside the bicycle.
The wind ruffled their hair, and before long they arrived at the family compound.
The car was parked downstairs, and Qiao Manman jogged upstairs.
When she got home, she collapsed on the sofa. Lu Yuan poured her some water to wash her face, but Qiao Manman stopped him, saying, "Don't bother. Let's go inside and wash before Meng Peiyu comes back."
Lu Yuan nodded, closed the doors and windows, carried his wife to the bedroom, drew the curtains, and the two of them and the dog slipped into the space.
Qiao Manman asked the system to help her listen to the outside sounds, and wandered around the space with him, feeling that something had changed, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"The air is better, and there's more water!" Qiao Manman said casually, then hailed an electric scooter and took him to the mountaintop hot springs.
In the misty steam, looking at the faint scars on the man's face, she reached out to touch them and applied medicine: "Hurry up and get better, it's really affecting your appearance."
And his hair, though not bald, has two patches that are noticeably sparser than the rest. The newly grown hair is soft and limp, and looks rather unsightly.
This wasn't Lu Yuan's first time soaking in a hot spring, but it was the first time he'd soaked with his wife, and he felt a little giddy.
His legs were weak when he came down from the mountaintop, but of course, it didn't affect his boxing practice.
The Rending Palm technique truly brings new insights every time I practice it.
Unfortunately, I don't dare to wave it around freely outside.
Qiao Manman goes into the lab to do experiments, and she's busy for hours at a time.
Early in the morning, the two people and their dog left the residential compound together. One went to work, one trained their dog, and one went to the post office to mail a letter.
Qiao Manman mailed a huge package home, containing milk powder, baby clothes and shoes, dried meat and fruit for adults, and a thick letter.
After finishing my work and leaving, I had just returned to the family compound when I met the postman who came to deliver the mail.
Qiao Manman patted her chest: "If I had known you were coming today, I wouldn't have gone to the post office!"
The postman smiled and said, "Next time, you can leave your mail at the gate and I'll come and pick it up."
He handed her two letters, saying, "There are letters for you!"
Qiao Manman glanced at the two letters, one from the provincial capital and the other from Beijing. She raised an eyebrow, thanked them, and left.
He went back inside, sat on the sofa, opened the envelope, and poured out two money order slips.
One bill was fifteen, and two were thirty. Not much, but not little either, and Qiao Manman was quite satisfied.
Then she took out the letter, a greeting letter written by Dong Qiuchan, asking how she was doing in Northeast China.
A letter of self-recommendation, written by the editor-in-chief of the Kyoto newspaper. It said that Qiao Manman could submit any articles she had to the Kyoto newspaper, and they would be happy to help her publish them.
Qiao Manman took out some stationery and wrote a reply to the two of them. She then sent it to the gatekeeper: "It's been quite hot these past few days. I made some mung bean soup. Try it!"
The guard at the gate smiled and nodded, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Thinking to himself that Xu Tianrui always gets the better deal, today it's finally his turn.
