Chapter 335 Are you sure you're not using a retreat as a tactic to advance?
Cao Zhengmei eventually accepted the red envelope, politely declined Xia Zhao's offer to see her off, and went home on her own.
Qiao Manman was standing by the window playing with the two children when Ma Qiuhua saw her and exclaimed in surprise, "These children are so fair-skinned!"
Newborn babies in the village are always tanned for a couple of days. Their skin is also wrinkled, like a monkey's.
Qiao Manman's two younger brothers are fair-skinned and tender, looking as if they've been raised for ten days or half a month.
Qiao Manman said, "It's probably because I ate well during my pregnancy, and the baby got enough nutrition!"
Ma Qiuhua nodded: "Look how strong those two are, your mother must have suffered a lot!"
Qiao Manman lowered her voice: "So, my dad washes diapers to make up for it!"
Qiao Runming blushed deeply: "Daughter, it's fine if we keep it to ourselves, can you please not tell everyone?"
Cheerful laughter filled the ward.
The doctor passed by and came in to examine He Nian: "You're recovering well, you can be discharged now!"
Qiao Manman thanked them with a smile, saw them off, and then discussed with Xia Zhao, "Go back and take care of Da Huang, and come over to help first thing tomorrow morning?"
Xia Zhao shook her head: "I'll stay, you go back!"
Qiao Manman thought that since she had space, it would be more convenient for her here.
But Xia Zhao has a mission, so how could she let Qiao Manman suffer? She wants to be comfortable herself.
Seeing them pushing and shoving each other, Ma Qiuhua waved her hand and said, "You two go, I'll stay here to keep you company!"
"Hey you, you go too. He Meizi and I will each take care of one; we can manage until dawn!"
"No!" the three people who were assigned the task said in unison.
"What's wrong?" Ma Qiuhua asked, puzzled.
Qiao Manman sighed: "Last night..."
"Oh my god, is that so? Good heavens, I thought only in picture books did mothers have such cruelty!"
Qiao Manman glanced at Qiao Runming, thinking to herself, "Isn't there one right in front of me? He's been tormented under the nose of his enemy for over thirty years."
Finally, Qiao Manman compromised: "Alright, alright, I'll go home and come to relieve you first thing tomorrow morning!"
Xia Zhao was satisfied. He sent the person back and brought back a thermos of chicken soup.
He Nian drank a little and offered it to everyone. But no one present touched it, telling her to save it for the next morning.

When Qiao Manman returned home, she was once again given a "bear hug" by Da Huang, the force of which almost knocked her over.
Little Flower circled around her, giggling and begging for wheat grains.
Qiao Manman went into the room, took out a small basin, and placed it in the corner.
A dog and a chicken huddled together, scrambling for food!
Qiao Manman prepared some spare ribs for Dahuang and some soybean powder and cornmeal for Xiaohua to change her diet.
Back in her bedroom, she wrote to Lu Yuan: "Darling, my mother gave birth to two big, healthy boys!"
Then I went into the space to wash up.
At the border, Lu Yuan received the note, a faint smile playing on his lips. Gazing at the starry sky, he imagined himself and Manman's child.
"What are you thinking about?" Chen Junyan nudged him with his arm.
Lu Yuan's smile froze for a moment: "I suppose those poachers are still trustworthy!"
Chen Junyan nodded, also finding it hard to believe.
The reason Brigade Commander He sent him to assist was simply because he heard the news from the front lines.
Knowing they had encountered enemy fire and lost many comrades, they feared Lu Yuan wouldn't be able to hold out and came to their aid.
Unexpectedly, before even reaching the battlefield, Lu Yuan had already distinguished himself. Not only did he perfectly capture the enemy leader's head, but he also seized a large amount of weaponry.
Even the legendary comrades who supposedly sacrificed their lives were standing alive before him. But when asked, it turned out to be a misconception; they had hidden in the forest and escaped the massacre.
But the scars on my comrades' bodies couldn't be faked, and there were very obvious stitches.
If it weren't for the help of highly skilled doctors, most of these people would have died.
She gave a soft "hmm" and sat down next to Lu Yuan.
As they gazed at the same sky, Chen Junyan suddenly asked, "If Meng Peiyu had gone on a blind date with you back then, would you have married her?"
Lu Yuan was reluctant to mention that woman, but he had been through thick and thin with Chen Junyan, so he didn't hold a grudge.
He patiently replied, "I don't know!"
A bitter smile appeared on Chen Junyan's lips: "To be honest, I'm a little envious of you!"
"Life is what it is, no matter how you live it." Qiao Manman's image appeared in his mind, and he thought, how could it be the same no matter who he lived with?
Chen Junyan didn't reply, but lay down on the ground and said, "I'm sorry!"
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and punched him in the chest: "So dramatic!"
He stood up and said, "I'm going to relieve myself. You take care of things here!"
Chen Junyan didn't say anything, but Lu Yuan knew that he had taken it to heart.
He found a secluded corner, crushed a teleportation talisman, and instantly appeared in Qiao Manman's room.
Outside, Big Yellow's ears twitched, and it instinctively barked.
Once it caught Lu Yuan's scent, it bared its teeth in disgust, raised its paw to pin down the fluttering little flower, and lay down in the yard to cool off.
Qiao Manman had just come out of the bathroom when she heard the system say that Lu Yuan had returned.
He pulled the person out into the space without even noticing that Lu Yuan's eyes were wide open.
Can you imagine how attractive a fair-skinned, delicate girl wrapped in a bath towel, barely revealing herself, would be to a hungry wolf who has been celibate for a month or two?
If he weren't covered in sweat and smelled terrible, he would have loved to pin his wife down right then and there.
His Adam's apple bobbed as he tried to look away.
I went to the bathroom to wash myself and came out wrapped in a bath towel.
Qiao Manman looked at his dirty face and clean body and felt a sense of disconnect.
She didn't say anything, but prepared a late-night snack for him.
Lu Yuan hugged her from behind: "Wife, if you had met Chen Junyan first, would you have fallen for him?"
Qiao Manman sensed his lack of confidence and said with a smile, "Who knows!"
In the novel, the original owner marries Chen Junyan in another time and space and lives a happy life.
But she's not the original owner of this body, so it's hard to say whether she'll develop feelings for Chen Junyan without Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan tightened his grip, clearly dissatisfied with the answer.
Qiao Manman changed the subject: "Why did you suddenly bring him up?"
"It's nothing, it's just that Commander Chen came to help us complete the mission!"
Qiao Manman didn't seem to care much: "You probably don't need his help, right?"
Lu Yuan nodded, his mood improving: "No need!"
Qiao Manman patted his hand: "Go eat!"
Lu Yuan dawdled, realizing he was indeed hungry. But this hunger was not the same as the kind you'd imagine.
"young married woman......"
"Ok?"
"I want to..." She scooted forward a little.
Qiao Manman's face flushed instantly: "Don't forget you're still on a mission!"
"It'll only be a little while, it'll be quick!"
Qiao Manman's will was not very strong, and she was tempted to give in to him after being coaxed like that.
But the thought of Lu Yuan's smelly hair and his slashed cheek made her want to refuse.
Without the ability to kiss, the experience is halved; it's better not to make it at all.
After racking her brains for a dozen reasons to refuse, she heard Lu Yuan sigh, "Forget it, I'll just go out!"
Qiao Manman breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little disappointed.
Turning around, she saw him take off his bath towel and put on his dirty clothes. She asked, "Are you sure you're not just using this as a pretext to advance?"
