Refusing to marry a widower, I went on a crazy spree of sending my children to the army.

Chapter 551 Alright, I'll give you something exciting tonight!

"Okay, okay, everything's great. In a few months, I'll be a mom too!"

He Nian raised her hand to wipe her eyes: "My Manman has grown up!"

The two talked for a while, then it was Ma Qiuhua's turn.

Qiao Manman invited her to Northeast China to see the heavy snowfall, but Ma Qiuhua waved her hand: "Minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius, wouldn't I freeze to death? Hahaha!"

Qiao Manman laughed and said, "Then let's come here to escape the summer heat!"

Ma Qiuhua nodded: "Sure, I'll help you take care of the kids while I'm at it!"

"Auntie, you said it yourself, so you can't go back on your word!"

Ma Qiuhua's smile froze on her face: "Then what about your mother?"

"Let her come along too, and bring my two younger brothers!"

"Ah, well, I'll discuss it with her!"

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Manman pulled out a few ten-yuan bills: "Comrade, could you calculate how much I owe in phone bills?"

“Sister-in-law Lu, please take it back. We’ve already calculated it and will deduct it from Commander Lu’s salary.”

"Okay, deduct whatever amount is due, don't be shy! If it's not enough, have him come back and ask me for more; we still have some savings at home!"

"I know, sister-in-law, it's so good that you're awake!"

"Thank you! Here, have a candy."

The young soldier, flattered, opened his hand, and Qiao Manman pulled out a dozen or so fruit candies from her pocket: "Happy Lantern Festival!"

"Sister-in-law, this is too much!"

"It's not much, you can eat it yourself or share it with others. I'm happy today because it's a holiday!"

He patted Lu Yuan's arm and said, "Let's go back!"

Lu Yuan hummed in agreement and took Qiao Manman home. The two even took a detour and brought back four bags of glutinous rice balls.

"I don't know if Grandpa and Uncle are coming, so let's prepare more food, so we won't run out!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he caught sight of two figures approaching from afar.

The man was simple-minded and the woman was charming and cute. They chatted and laughed all the way. When they caught sight of her and Lu Yuan, she embarrassedly smoothed her hair.

He Jingcheng jogged over: "Niece, out for a stroll? This is my girlfriend, Li Dai!"

Li Dai dawdled over and said, "Hello, sister-in-law, I, I, I'm with Researcher He!"

Qiao Manman smiled and nodded: "Congratulations! Comrade Li, you can just call me by my name from now on. If you marry my uncle, I'll have to call you aunt!"

Li Dai waved her hand: "No, no, no, I can't accept that. I'm more used to calling you sister-in-law. Let's call you that for now, and we'll talk about official titles later."

"Of course! Comrade Li, are you busy tonight? If not, come to my house for some tangyuan (sweet rice balls)."

I prepared sesame filling, peanut filling, osmanthus filling, and red bean paste filling—they smell so good!

"Really? Really? Can I try them all?"

Sister-in-law, you have no idea how delicious that New Year's Eve dinner was.

"It was after eating at your house that I finally decided to be with Researcher He!"

As she spoke, she pulled a small bottle of perfume from her pocket: "Hey, I didn't eat for free, I bought it in Kyoto!"

Qiao Manman smiled and accepted: "Okay, I'll give you something exciting tonight!"

Li Dai's eyes sparkled as she wondered what could be so stimulating. Could it be pig offal?

Ugh, she doesn't eat large intestine, small intestine, heart, liver, spleen, lungs, or kidneys.

Seeing her conflicted, Qiao Manman said nothing.

As I turned to the side, I put two oranges, two apples, and a large piece of durian into my bag.

The durian was packed in a metal lunchbox, and no smell wafted out.

Qiao Manman's lips curled into a wicked smile: "Hehehe, there's going to be a good show tonight!"

In the blink of an eye, darkness fell. Who would have thought that the sun would shine brightly during the day, only to become overcast by evening?
