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

"What's that called? A celebrity, right? They're such a perfect match for Commander Lu!"

Only someone as clueless as Song Dami would think Commander Lu is unwanted and try to feed him worthless scraps!

The group exchanged glances, sharing a deep sense of agreement.

One cautious person put their index finger to their lips and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Sister-in-law Lu is still here. Maybe she's just visiting!"

He even winked at the person next to him: "Be careful, Commander Lu might send you home to rest too! Money!"

Those watching the commotion immediately fell silent, cautiously glancing at the Lu family's gate. Seeing it was still closed, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go back, all of you, or Commander Lu will catch you!"

The group left so quickly that they missed the scene of He Jingcheng seeing Li Dai off.

"Comrade Li, be sure to let us know when the movie is released. I'll bring my colleagues from the research institute to support you!"

"Thank you, Researcher He. I'm going back now, please wait!"

He Jingcheng hesitated at the door for several seconds: "How about I take you home? It's freezing cold, it's dangerous for you to be alone."

"Since Ji Ming is here, if we go together, no one will gossip."

"No need, no need, it's not far, I won't take up your precious time!"

"No problem, no problem. It's the weekend anyway, so I'll just treat it as exercise."

If anyone talks nonsense, it's a good opportunity to use them to establish authority.

The sooner it's resolved, the less we'll have to live in constant fear!

Li Dai thought it made sense and nodded: "Then thank you very much, Researcher He, and Comrade Ji!"

Ji Ming whispered to Xia Zhao, "I'll go take a look and be back in a bit!"

Then I went out.

After they left, Xie Susu asked worriedly, "Isn't what we did a bit unethical?"

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Where is it immoral?"

"Manman's uncle, although he looks young, is almost forty. If he had been born two years later, he could have been Comrade Li's father!"

"Mom, what are you thinking? Uncle just took pity on Comrade Li because he saw that she was weak."

As she cleared the dishes, she said, "With his dim-witted brain, how could he possibly have such wild thoughts?"

I guess they're using Comrade Li as a substitute for Manman!

Lu Yuan's guess was indeed correct.

On the way, He Jingcheng felt bored and started talking to Li Dai about things in the fields.

I thought she wouldn't be interested, but to my surprise, Li Dai not only listened with great interest, but also occasionally chimed in with her own insights.

As they talked, they became like old friends, getting more and more excited as they talked.

Upon reaching the entrance of the cultural troupe, He Jingcheng said, "Comrade Li, being a soldier must be tough, right?"

If you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me. After all, I'm an elder, and I can support you!

Li Dai nodded: "Thank you, Uncle He!"

"Alright, let's go quickly, we should head back too!"

Li Dai hummed in agreement and jogged back to her dormitory.

Unexpectedly, this scene was witnessed by others.

Another round of rumors, but this time, Li Dai wouldn't tolerate them.

He slapped the troublemaker twice, then called on the leader to uphold justice.

When her superiors ignored her complaints, she went to their superiors to complain.

She also said, "Researcher He is of noble character. Even if I were to date him, there's nothing I could say."

You're making baseless accusations because you think I made a movie and am better than you.

If you want to improve yourself, then work hard! Why are you dragging me down with you?

Do you think that if I leave the performing arts troupe, you can become the main performer?

Stop dreaming! You haven't achieved this much even after I've been gone for almost a year. If I come back, you'll have even less of a chance!

"Leadership, we must crack down on this unhealthy trend of using any means necessary to climb the ladder!"

After a moment's thought, the leader decided to deal with the matter seriously.

Those who made sarcastic remarks or spread rumors were all given minor demerits.

Li Dai, having won, proudly raised her chin.

Li Dai chose to ignore those who whispered that she was unreasonable and unforgiving.

Just as He Jingcheng said, "It's so tiring to live in the eyes of others. Life is only a few decades long, so we should squander it as we please!"

Of course, when Ho King-ching talks about "squandering" time, he means spending it on his beloved career.

He was a researcher, and I was in a performing arts troupe; though our paths diverged, we arrived at the same destination.

Thinking of this, Li Dai smiled slightly: "This little uncle of yours is quite interesting!"

***

Time flies by unnoticed, and before we know it, it's the Little New Year.

Lu Yuan remembered Qiao Manman's bright and cheerful appearance when she first moved into the family compound.

Disliking the lack of curtains, they repurposed bed sheets. They secretly eavesdropped on the upstairs neighbors, even comparing their lengths.

Every little expression she made made my heart flutter.

Now lying lifelessly on the bed, Lu Yuanxin clenched her fists, but dared not show it.

"Wife, time flies! I still remember this time last year, you offered sesame candy to the Kitchen God..."

Lu Yuan talked on and on, but Qiao Manman didn't respond at all.

"I'll wait no matter how long it takes, but I'm so scared that I'll have to keep waiting!"

As he spoke, he placed a kiss on her forehead.

Outside, Xie Susu felt quite uncomfortable.

I thought to myself, how did such a good family end up so broken?

What kind of magic does Dong Province have? So many people went on missions, yet only Manman suffered. Why is that?

Xie Susu couldn't stand it anymore and decided to go out for some fresh air.

But the noise from the neighbors only made my own house seem even more desolate.

Xie Susu returned home with a heavy heart. When she saw her son bringing out a bunch of things, she asked curiously, "Did Ji Ming bring these to you?"

Lu Yuan mumbled, "I'm going out for a bit!"

Xie Susu hummed in agreement and patted his arm: "Go call your grandpa!"

Lu Yuan nodded, put the things in his pocket, and went out.

After greeting Lu Qihua and Lu Jingchuan at the office, I prepared to let Director Miao know I was safe.

I glanced at the sky and dismissed the idea. I sat in the dimly lit office for a long time before finally taking my things home.

In this back-and-forth exchange, the goods found their origin.

Lu Yuan took the sesame candy to the kitchen, offered it sincerely as a sacrifice, and then went back to the room to sleep with his wife in his arms.

"No matter what, I'll wait for you." A kiss landed. "Or, how about I sing you a song?"

"Two tigers, two tigers, running fast..."

Daddy Shark, doo-doo-doo; Mommy Shark, doo-doo-doo; Baby Shark...

After finishing the song, he laughed and said, "It's a bit like prenatal education!"

He placed his hand on Qiao Manman's belly: "Baby, I'm Daddy! Be good, let's wait for Mommy to wake up together, okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his hand was kicked.

Lu Yuan's eyes widened in surprise: "Is it you? You can hear my voice?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked again.

After two consecutive taps, Lu Yuan was certain that he hadn't misjudged the sensation.

Excitedly, I jumped out of bed and carefully pressed my ear to the bed.

Glug, glug, that's the sound of amniotic fluid flowing.

He got kicked in the face again, and Lu Yuan grinned foolishly, "That's great!"

Inside the space, the system disdainfully tossed him a book—"Encyclopedia of Maternal and Infant Care"!

Lu Yuan held it in his arms as if it were a precious treasure, and after a long while, he carefully opened it to read.
