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

Chapter 478: Choking on food, choking on water, flat tire on a bike, twisting an ankle while walking

A few hours later, a group of people carried seafood to a nearby military unit.

I'll practice with some people here, and then spend the night holed up in my dorm.

After daybreak, I boarded a plane back to Northeast China...

It's unclear how many times Qiao Manman has taken the train, but this is definitely the most humiliating one she's ever had.

Unable to chat with people, unable to prove anyone wrong or achieve merit, even turning the tables requires Xia Zhao's help.

Fortunately, she doesn't poop randomly, otherwise, it would be really troublesome.

Tao Yingzhen saw Xia Zhao carefully feeding Qiao Manman and praised her as a good girl with tears in her eyes.

Xia Zhao smiled and said, "It's all what I should do. Besides, my sister-in-law has been very good to me, so I'm just returning the favor!"

Tao Yingzhen didn't say anything, planning to prepare a dowry for Manman once she recovered.

"Little Ji is not bad..."

Xia Zhao blushed and didn't dare to meet her gaze.

She gave a soft "Mmm": "Well, let's leave it at that!"

***

In Yang County, Qiao Runming hadn't received a call from his daughter for several days, and he was restless at work.

Director Miao was the same; he choked on his food, choked on his water, his bicycle tire went flat, and he twisted his ankle while walking.

In short, nothing went smoothly, and even the company's performance, which had been growing for twelve consecutive months, began to decline this month.

"Runming, didn't Manman say when she'll be back?"

Qiao Runming frowned deeply: "No, we haven't been in contact for several days. Is she on her way?"

"Manman is always cautious. Even if she wants to do a surprise, she'll always let me know. She..."

Director Miao had a bad feeling, but he dared not say it out loud, for fear that it would come true.

"How about we give Lu Yuan a call?"

Qiao Runming nodded: "Okay, I'll ask him!"

Just as he finished speaking, the gatekeeper ran in and said that a convoy of cars had arrived at the gate.

"Factory manager, Engineer Xie is here."

"Who are you talking about?"

"Man's mother-in-law, Engineer Xie who came to our machinery factory to give guidance, and her husband and father-in-law!"

Factory Director Miao rushed out in a hurry, shouting, "What are you reporting? Just let them in!"

Good heavens, does he not know the background of the Lu family? Could a family that marries a female engineer possibly be of average status?

Moreover, Lu Yuan's promotion was so smooth that it's impossible for him to have no one behind him. He knew exactly what was going on.

Qiao Runming was stunned by his mother-in-law's sudden attack and ran wildly behind Director Miao.

Arriving at the door a step too late, I saw Miao Shoujun chatting with the old man who got out of the jeep with ease, and I suddenly felt a little intimidated.

Lu Jingchuan caught a glimpse of him and strode forward: "You must be Manman's father, Comrade Qiao Runming! Hello, I am Lu Yuan's father."

"Hello, Comrade Lu, I've heard so much about you!"

Qiao Runming shook hands with Lu Jingchuan and found that Lu Jingchuan's hands were broad and strong, with calluses on the base of his thumbs, indicating that he was no ordinary person.

It made him look timid and even a little insecure.

Lu Jingchuan's lips curled into a stiff smile: "Thank you, Comrade Qiao, for raising such an outstanding woman as Manman, and thank you even more for marrying Manman into our family. However..."

Comrade Qiao, could we speak privately for a moment?

Qiao Runming's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously sought advice from Miao Shoujun.

Just as the pleasantries were finished, Miao Shoujun invited the people into the factory.

Have the secretary make tea, and while you're at it, inform the cafeteria to add a few more good dishes for lunch.

Then he closed the office door and asked bluntly, "Comrade Lu, Comrade Lu, Engineer Xie, has something happened to Manman?"

The three of them fell silent.

Qiao Runming's eyes widened and immediately turned red: "What happened to my daughter? What happened to my daughter?"
