Chapter 357 Host, I think you're a bit too much of a saint!
That night, Qiao Manman received a message from Lu Yuan saying that he was already on the train and would arrive in Yang County soon.
Qiao Manman was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask, "Why waste that time? Just use a teleportation talisman to come over!"
He suppressed his itching hands: "We're coming back anyway, why waste a teleportation scroll!"
Then, feeling at ease, I went into my room, washed up, and went to sleep.
On the other side, Lu Yuan waited until late at night but still didn't receive any news from his wife, which made him worried and anxious.
It was unclear whether Qiao Manman was busy or angry that he hadn't informed her beforehand.
And so, they endured until dawn. Looking at the increasingly familiar scenery, a smile crept onto their faces.
After getting up, Qiao Manman took Dahuang and Xiaohua out for a stroll.
A person, a dog, and a chicken ran around the county town twice. Everyone was used to it and greeted her or Big Yellow with smiles.
As I strolled to the entrance of the Public Security Bureau and was about to leave, I saw Li Chuncao come out from inside, carrying a small baby in her arms.
"This is......"
“My daughter, Li Jincheng, isn’t she pretty!” Li Chuncao lifted the little girl’s arm and waved it at Qiao Manman.
Qiao Manman nodded: "She is quite cute!"
Li Chuncao hugged her tightly: "I don't ask for anything else now, I just want to raise her well. I want her to go to school, so she won't follow in my footsteps!"
Qiao Manman laughed: "Let's change Xiaohu's name to Li, the same surname as you."
"I asked, and Director Zhang said that once we have a letter of introduction, we can come and complete the formalities. I'm thinking of changing his name to Li Zhengyi. What do you think?"
"That's great, very meaningful!"
Li Chuncao looked up at the sun and said, "Sister Manman, I should go back now."
"Okay, let's go back. Be careful on the road!"
Qiao Manman watched her walk away, then heard the system ask, "Host, why were you so good to her?"
"Is it okay?" Qiao Manman didn't think so: "It's just that we didn't nip it in the bud!"
"Why not nip it in the bud? Aren't you afraid that she'll grow stronger and turn against you?"
"As she progresses, I'm growing too. I have you, the machinery factory, the research institute, and the military behind me, so what is there to be afraid of?"
Moreover, socialism does not advocate extreme revenge; people should always be given a chance to repent and start anew!
"Host, I think you're being a bit too saintly!"
"Really?" Qiao Manman smiled but did not respond.
Around noon, Lu Yuan appeared at Yangxian Station. His tall and upright figure instantly attracted the attention of the passengers.
Many girls jogged over to chat him up, but once they saw his face, they backed away.
Emma, that's really scary, her hair is all patchy and she has a scar on her face.
Lu Yuan kept his eyes straight ahead and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative after leaving the station. He bought two bags of milk powder, two bottles of wine, and some pastries.
"Are you Lu Yuan?" Liang Simin asked, clutching her stomach.
Lu Yuan nodded: "Hello, sister-in-law!"
"Oh, okay! You're... injured? It's alright, it's good that you're alive! Go home now, Manman misses you a lot!"
Lu Yuan hummed in agreement and turned to leave.
Once he was out of sight, Wu Chunying leaned over and gossiped, "Was that your sister's man just now? He didn't look very good, so ugly..."
"Don't talk nonsense, he's a hero!"
Wu Chunying pouted: "What's the use of being a hero? He's disfigured. Will Qiao Manman still want him? If you ask me, it's not far off!"
Lu Yuan ignored the opinions of others and arrived at the Qiao family's courtyard.
Before he even knocked, Da Huang barked excitedly, biting open the latch, pushing open the wooden door, and leaping onto him with a kick of its hind legs.
The force of the impact caused Lu Yuan to stagger. He chuckled and patted Big Yellow's head, asking, "Where's my wife?"
Big Yellow's frantically wagging tail abruptly stopped. It thought to itself, "I'm welcoming you so warmly, and you're already thinking about someone else. If she weren't my owner, I'd cut ties with you immediately!"
Once she'd figured it out, she stopped caring. She swung her big tail back and forth, making little "woof woof" noises.
Hearing the commotion, the people inside came out one after another.
Seeing the man she hadn't seen for several days, Qiao Manman went forward to hug him, but Da Huang took her place.
She could only subtly hold his hand and ask, feigning surprise, "Why did you come back? You didn't even call ahead!"
Lu Yuan smiled and squeezed her little hand: "I wanted to give you a surprise!"
Qiao Manman glared at him, thinking to herself, "He's really good at pretending."
Lu Yuan's gaze remained gentle as he looked through her at Qiao Runming, He Nian, and Ma Qiuhua: "Father, Mother, Aunt Qiuhua!"
His gaze shifted to Xia Zhao: "Comrade Xia, thank you for taking care of me during this time. You can return to your unit now!"
Xia Zhao: "..."
He paused for a few seconds before reacting, then saluted Lu Yuan: "Yes, sir!"
Qiao Manman slapped his butt: "What are you doing? Why do you have to be the one to lead and not the one to back? Zhao Zhao has been with me for so long, you have to have fun before you leave!"
"Wife, I'm innocent! I didn't chase her away, it's just that the army has a mission. Ouch, that hurts!"
"Stop pretending!" Yu Guang caught Xia Zhao's anxious expression and asked, "Are you in a hurry?"
"Thankfully, I bought her a ticket for tomorrow morning!"
Qiao Manman breathed a sigh of relief, as did Xia Zhao.
They pulled Dahuang off the bed and dragged Lu Yuan to the backyard to wash up. After everyone changed their clothes, the family of seven gathered in a circle.
Lu Yuan was melted by the two babies' big, bright eyes. He reached out and took the baby from Qiao Manman's arms, gently teasing it.
"Xiao Yuan, have you... gone to the hospital to get it checked out?"
“I asked my grandfather to take a look, and he said they were all external injuries and would heal with rest.”
"Oh! What about the scar on your face, and this hair? Will it grow back?" He Nian asked.
"Yes, Mom, don't worry, I won't let Manman down!"
Qiao Runming didn't care about any of that. What he was concerned about was: "You've been seriously injured, you should have earned some merit, right? Will you get a promotion?"
Qiao Manman interrupted, "Dad, why are you asking these questions? They're all confidential!"
"It wasn't exactly a secret. I did well on this mission, but as for promotion, I'm still a bit short. After all, I'm still young..."
Or perhaps he's too young, and there's no room for him in a position, so he can only remain in a deputy role.
Qiao Manman changed the subject: "Are you hungry? I'll go make you some food!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than his little brother peed.
Afraid of upsetting him, Ma Qiuhua quickly took Erbao from him, saying, "Boy's urine is safe and healthy, bringing good fortune and advancement!"
Lu Yuan smiled and went back to his room to change his clothes, when He Nian asked in a low voice, "When are you two planning to have a baby?"
It's not that Mom is pressuring him, but look at Xiaoyuan's job, it's so dangerous! We need to leave him a child!"
Qiao Manman laughed heartily: "No rush, no rush, we're still young!" But she felt a little guilty!
Inside the room, Lu Yuan's hand remained stuck on his belt for a long time without moving. After a while, he finally changed his pants and came out.
His face was still gentle, his smile gentle, but Qiao Manman felt that he seemed unhappy.
