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

Chapter 212 Crossing mountains and ravines, constantly creating new prospects

Just as he finished his work, Old Master Lu brought his guests in.

Qiao Manman greeted everyone with a smile and knelt down to make tea for them. Every move she made was exceptionally elegant.

"Is this your granddaughter-in-law? She has the air of someone from a prominent family!"

Lu Qihua modestly replied, "I've only studied for a few years and seen a bit of the world on business trips. I'm just trying to impress you."

The old leader smiled, took the teacup, and smelled it: "Is this pre-Qingming Longjing tea?"

"Yes, I bought some at the Friendship Store in Hangzhou when I was on a business trip there."

"You certainly know your stuff." The old leader blew on his teacup and asked, "Are you settling in well in Kyoto?"

"I'm used to it. The climate here is similar to that of my hometown, and my grandparents and parents treat me very well."

"I've read your articles, those hopes and visions for the future. Do you think they can be realized?"

"Absolutely! We, China, will gain a voice in the world in the shortest possible time and become a major power of great influence on the international stage!"

Why do you think this way? Where does your confidence come from?

"Of course... Our proletariat is closely united around the Party Central Committee, focusing on development goals, concentrating our efforts, and working diligently and practically."

Our researchers persevered, working tirelessly day and night to overcome challenges and master core technologies.

Our Party members and cadres remain true to their original aspirations, always striving for the people's better life, making resolute and determined progress, and steadily advancing forward. They overcome obstacles and challenges, continuously creating new prospects.

"Young comrade, you're very enlightened! I hope that in my lifetime I can witness the prosperous and flourishing world you speak of!"

The old leader was so emotional that he even found his tea tasteless.

He patted Qiao Manman on the shoulder and praised her, "I'm glad to see such an idealistic and ambitious young person like you. Keep up the good work and don't waste your talents!"

"Thank you, boss. I will do my best!"

"Xiao Yuan, don't tarnish your grandfather's reputation."

"Yes, sir!" Lu Yuan saluted, his eyes full of determination.

"The matter is settled, the tea has been drunk, it's time to go back and get back to work."

The old leader stood up with a smile: "Old Lu, your Xiao Yuan has married a good wife."

Grandpa Lu hurriedly went to deliver it, saying, "You're too kind. She's just good with a silver tongue!"

Seeing that no one was home, Qiao Manman found a corner, took out a box of tea and a bottle of honey, and put them into her canvas bag.

She gave Lu Yuan a wink, signaling him to deliver it to the old man.

Qiao Manman intended to give it to her former boss, but she was unsure whether she should, so she let her grandfather decide.

When Lu Yuan returned, he said, "I've accepted it!"

Qiao Manman smiled and said, "That's good!"

The tea leaves were health-preserving teas she bought in the system space, and the honey was mutated flower nectar that she had the system help harvest.

Not only does it taste great, but it also has health benefits. It's definitely a presentable gift.

Of course, Qiao Manman didn't mistreat her own family either.

While Lu Jingchuan and Xie Susu were at work, and Aunt Zhou was watching the commotion outside, Qiao Manman took two bottles of honey and put them in the cupboard.

Half of the tea leaves were replaced with health-preserving tea, mixed with pre-Qingming Longjing tea.

Go back inside and pack your luggage; we'll move on after dark.

During this time, Qiao Manman called Qiao Runming to tell him that she was doing well and was planning to return to Northeast China in a couple of days.

"Dad, I'm sending you some Kyoto specialties. You can pick them up at the post office in about two weeks."

"Okay, you and Lu Yuan should take good care of each other, and come back to visit when you have time."

After hanging up the phone, the two went outside together. They saw that the entire Wang family had been taken away, and the two-story building was sealed off.

Wang Xingwen glared at the two men, his eyes filled with hatred. Qiao Manman raised an eyebrow and crushed a talisman.

The next second, the man fell flat on his face and knocked out two teeth.

"It seems that the marriage between the Meng family and the Meng family will not be possible!"

"It's none of our business. I'll take you to buy local specialties."

Qiao Manman sat on the bicycle with a smile, grabbed Lu Yuan's cotton-padded coat, and headed straight for the department store, where she bought five boxes of "Beijing Eight Delicacies".

There are also five catties of dried fruit and candied fruit, which I plan to divide into two portions and send to Qiao Runming and Meng Taining (directors of the provincial machinery factory).

Qiao Manman saw that there was milk powder for sale here, so she found the milk powder coupons and exchanged them all for milk powder.

Arriving at the post office, I added some more pine nuts and chestnuts, and mailed them away at a high price.

After leaving the post office, Qiao Manman caught sight of the recycling station not far away and wanted to go in to look for treasure, but Lu Yuan took her to the Friendship Store instead.

The Friendship Store in Kyoto is similar to the one in Shanghai, and it attracts many foreigners.

Afraid of running into acquaintances, the two didn't dare to shop extensively. They only bought a few things they liked casually.

On the third floor of the Friendship Store, various calligraphy, paintings, and decorative items were sold. Qiao Manman's gaze lingered on the cultural relics; she wanted to buy them but dared not.

When she came out, she complained to Lu Yuan, "If I hadn't married you, I would have gone shopping!"

Lu Yuan ruffled her hair: "Tonight, let's take down Dou Yifan's hideout!"

Qiao Manman hummed in agreement and sat on the back of the bicycle. She went with Lu Yuan to the state-run restaurant to buy a roast duck, and returned home before dark to find everyone already there.

"Dad, Mom, Grandpa, why are you back so early today?" Qiao Manman handed the roast duck to Aunt Zhou: "Aunt Zhou, please heat it up, let's have a good meal tonight!"

"Isn't it because I heard the old leader praised you? I came back to see my daughter-in-law. How come she's so good at talking!"

Xie Susu smiled and took Qiao Manman's hand: "Everyone is so envious of me. They all say I made the right choice in marrying this wife!"

Lu Qihua picked up the scroll from the coffee table: "A wedding gift from the boss!"

Qiao Manman opened her mouth wide in surprise: "Grandpa, are you serious?"

Upon opening it, I found a piece of calligraphy. It read "A match made in heaven" and was stamped with a seal.

"I'm so flattered!" Qiao Manman jumped up and down excitedly, just like a child.

The Lu family looked at her with affection, and after she calmed down and put the scroll away, they said, "The leader really likes the honey and tea you sent."

Qiao Manman excitedly raised her hand: "There will be more after you finish drinking! I can supply you as much as you want!"

Lu Jingchuan smiled and shook his head: "Things are valued for their rarity; if you give too many, the sentiment will fade!"

Qiao Manman said she had learned a lot.

Aunt Zhou brought over the roast duck, and the family sat around the table to eat.

After dinner, Lu Yuan discussed the fertility pills with Lu Qihua and Lu Jingchuan. After a moment of thought, the two decided to let Lu Yuan promote them in Northeast China.

"Although the Wang family's matter did not affect our family, people's hearts are unpredictable. If those families find out that Manman has such a good thing, they will probably try to trip us up."

The saying goes, "If you can't have it, destroy it." In the heat of the moment, they don't consider whether something is useful; they only worry about whether the achievement will allow the Lu family to advance further.

"Give it a try first. If you encounter any difficulties, call me. By the way, do you have any samples? I'll take them to Li Minghua to see!"

"Yes, I'll go ask Manman for it!"

Just as Lu Yuan was about to get up, the old man stopped him: "Your wife's background must be complicated!"
