Chapter 207 Are you planning to leave him alone in his empty room?
"Manman, let me introduce you. This is your second uncle, Lu Jiayou, and your second aunt, Fu Shulan. This is your aunt, Lu Xunshuang, and your other aunt, Xie Jingyao."
There are also my younger cousins, all young people; you can get to know them yourselves later.
Qiao Manman greeted everyone obediently, smiling as they praised her for being a good match for Lu Yuan, and answered their questions to satisfy their curiosity.
She even gave Lu Yuan a nudge: "Go heat up the roast duck so everyone can have a taste!"
Lu Yuan got up and carried the roast duck into the kitchen.
Xie Jingyao said, "This is the first time I've seen such gentleness in my nephew. I thought he was always cold and aloof, but it turns out it depends on the person!"
"Haha, it depends on the person. I thought he was going to be a bachelor for life, but I didn't expect him to ask me for a military overcoat."
Oh my gosh, that's hilarious! He was so shy and hesitant when he made the call!
Lu Xunshuang laughed as she revealed Lu Yuan's past.
Qiao Manman's cheeks were flushed: "Thank you, Auntie, the military coat is very warm."
He rolled up his sleeves and said, "I also like the watch my aunt gave me."
Upon hearing this, Fu Shulan quickly took out a box from her bag and gave the two of them a reproachful look: "Why didn't you two tell me you were preparing gifts? If I hadn't brought them with me, we would have made a fool of ourselves."
He handed it to Qiao Manman, saying, "Go back inside and look at it!"
"Okay, thank you, Auntie!" Qiao Manman turned her head to look at the kitchen and saw Lu Yuan busy. She smiled and said, "Uncle, Aunt, Auntie, I've also prepared gifts for you."
"Please have a seat, I'll go upstairs to get it!"
"Oh, we even have gifts! Manman, you're too kind!"
"Of course, it's only right to reciprocate!"
Qiao Manman jogged upstairs, closed the door, opened the box, and found a jade-green bracelet inside, extremely lustrous.
"Wow, so beautiful!" Qiao Manman put the bracelet on her wrist, admired it for a few seconds, then took it off, drew the curtains, and put it into her spatial storage.
Take out some pretty hair clips, silk scarves, and a few beautifully packaged fountain pens from the space.
There were also four sets of unlabeled skincare products and five belts that fit the style of the era.
They were all redeemed from the system space, and the quality is excellent.
Qiao Manman carried down a pile of boxes, startling everyone.
When Lu Yuan came over to help, he saw Qiao Manman handing belts to the male elders, skincare products to the female elders, and hair clips, scarves, pens, and other items to her younger siblings.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Cousin Lu Sui happily played with the red hair clip adorned with small pearls, hopping around like a rabbit.
Qiao Manman ruffled her hair: "I'm glad you like it!"
After that, he explained how to use the skincare products to the elders.
Xie Susu was also unaware for the first time that there were so many intricacies to skincare. She immediately washed her face and carefully scooped out her skincare products to apply to her face.
It didn't take long for her skin to feel hydrated. Lu Xunshuang and Xie Jingyao both said her skin was glowing.
"No way, it's that effective so quickly?"
"It's probably because Mom's skin is naturally in good condition, and she had just washed her face and was in high spirits because of the happy occasion, so she naturally looks radiant!"
Xie Susu nodded: "You're right! Come on, everyone, have some roast duck, each of you have a bite!"
Everyone rushed over, and in just a few seconds, only bones remained of the duck.
In the evening, several elders were busy in the kitchen, frying meatballs, washing and chopping vegetables, and steaming buns.
Qiao Manman and Lu Yuan were kicked out to chat with their younger siblings.
Tell them about Qingshan Brigade, tell them about the educated youth who went to the countryside, and tell them about Yangxian Machinery Factory.
Qiao Manman spoke eloquently, adding her own insights, which made these young people who had not yet entered society look at her with new respect.
Of course, there was also a lot of curiosity involved. Qiao Manman's living environment was something they had never imagined—so down-to-earth.
A group of people worked until late at night to prepare all the side dishes before going home.
The old man instructed them to go back and investigate thoroughly, lest someone with ulterior motives slip them anything shady.
The family property allocated to them was also hidden away. Even if they were to be thrown away, they couldn't be used against them.
Lu Jiayou, Lu Xunshuang, and Xie Jingyao all knew the seriousness of the matter, nodded, and indicated that they would investigate carefully and act cautiously.
The Lu family returned to peace and quiet. After washing up, they went to bed.
The next day, Qiao Manman was still taken around aimlessly by Lu Yuan. The two ate the roast duck they hadn't been able to have the day before, and also went ice skating at Shichahai.
In the evening, Qiao Manman moved into a three-courtyard house next to the Forbidden City. Lu Yuan was worried about her safety, so he asked his second aunt, younger brother and sister to stay with her.
Qiao Manman lay on the slightly warm kang (a heated brick bed), feeling somewhat sleepless.
"Tongtong, I'm getting married tomorrow!"
"Host, didn't you get married a long time ago?"
"But I didn't have a wedding. Tomorrow is the first wedding I've ever had in both my lives!"
"Oh, it's just taking a bike ride around and then swearing an oath in front of a portrait of a leader. What's so difficult about that? If they all had physical forms, they could even perform the ritual of worshipping heaven and earth on behalf of their hosts!"
Qiao Manman rolled her eyes: "You're quite the thinker."
The system chuckled lewdly: "Host, do you want to sign in? I've heard you humans like all sorts of things, do you want to sign in a few times to keep some 'little umbrellas' handy?"
Qiao Manman almost choked on her own saliva: "Don't you love giving away babies to people? Don't you want to earn some merit from me?"
The system retorted, "Don't you humans like exercise? I'm being so considerate because I'm thinking of you!"
Besides, your man is already planning to promote fertility pills to the military region, what's so special about your paltry sum that the commander would covet it!
Qiao Manman chuckled, "Okay, okay, thank you, everyone!"
As I was signing in, the system announced: "Congratulations, host, you have obtained one cubic meter of supplies, two fertility pills, and a river."
Qiao Manman's eyes lit up: "Hey, a surprise? Why? I don't think I've done anything! Oh well, never mind, I'll just sign in!"
"Congratulations, host, you have acquired a valley."
"Congratulations, host, you have acquired a gold mine."
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained..."
Qiao Manman was overjoyed, thinking to herself, "What incredible wealth! I actually caught it! Hehehe, I'm so happy!"
Qiao Manman glanced at the spatial resources she had checked in with and was speechless.
"Master, do you have to be so outrageous?"
The entire six-cubic-meter supply consisted of small umbrellas.
"There's so much, even if he uses it until he can't stand it up anymore, he still won't be able to use it all!"
The system rubbed its hands together: "Ha, oops, oops, I got excited and pulled the wrong one!"
Qiao Manman casually picked up a box: "Spiral!"
She pulled out another box: "Strawberry flavor!"
Take out another box: "Ultra-thin!"
"Ahhh, I'm so disgusted! I've only ever seen them glancing around at the supermarket exit before, but now..."
"Now you can use it!"
Qiao Manman awkwardly touched her nose, just as the system said in a lewd tone, "Host, do you want to guess how many Lu Yuanming can use tomorrow night?"
"No need to guess, it's definitely zero!"
"Oh no, you're really planning to leave him alone in his empty room?"
