Chapter 184 Oh my, this little girl is so cute!
"Of course! Speaking of which, Comrade Xiao Qiao was actually my matchmaker with Comrade Wu!"
"Oh? What happened!"
With a blush, Zhang Shuhan told his parents about how Wu Caidie had misunderstood him and almost caused her to marry the company commander.
I thought I would be comforted, but instead I was beaten by my parents.
"You idiot, if it weren't for Xiao Wu's affection for you, our family would have missed out on such a wonderful wife!"
Zhang Shuhan begged for forgiveness: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I'll never do it again. Comrade Xiao Qiao said, a man needs to have a mouth!"
After a while, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang got tired and sat down on the sofa, panting heavily: "We should thank Comrade Qiao!"
Zhang Shuhan rubbed his messy hair, thinking to himself that his parents were really something, still going strong for their age. They actually managed to beat him for so long.
He didn't use much force, but he still lost face. Sigh.
Qiao Manman left the machine factory when it was already dark. She went home, entered her spatial dimension, counted out one hundred farm eggs, and put them in a basket.
Then I ate dinner, cooked a plate of shrimp dumplings, stir-fried some lettuce, ate it all, washed up, and went to bed, sleeping soundly until dawn.
The next day, when no one else was around, Qiao Manman said to Zhang Shuhan, "I've sent the message back. Come to my house tonight to pick up the goods."
"Thank you so much, Xiao Qiao! You've worked hard!"
Qiao Manman smiled and buried herself in her work. Before she knew it, it was time to leave work, and she couldn't wait to go home.
Tonight we're having fish. She scooped a net of grouper from the seawater tank and squatted by the stove to kill, scale, and gut them. She did this with three fish in a row, and by the time she was done, she was covered in the smell of fish.
Qiao Manman stuffed two of them into the time-frozen storage space, leaving one steamed.
The rice cooker in the room was cooking white rice, and the pressure cooker was stewing potatoes and beef.
After the fish was steamed, I stir-fried some green beans and eggplant, and the rest of the dishes were almost ready.
Qiao Manman sat on the slightly cool earthen bed, took out the Flame Stone, and the cold bedroom instantly became warmer.
A moment later, the room temperature was 20 degrees Celsius. It was about the same as having central heating.
She found this stone by chance when she was bored and taking stock of the supplies in her spatial storage.
According to the system, its energy is limited, so Qiao Manman doesn't usually use it. She usually goes into the space to sleep and only takes it out to use when she has to be outside.
Qiao Manman, dressed in thermal underwear, watched a TV series on her tablet and ate her meal with great satisfaction.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Qiao Manman put on her coat and went to the door: "Who is it?"
"Comrade Xiao Qiao, I'm Shu Han's mother. I've come to get something."
Qiao Manman opened the door and saw a well-dressed aunt standing outside. She smiled and nodded, "Hello, Auntie!"
"Oh, hello, I didn't expect Xiao Qiao to be so capable."
Qiao Manman looked up and saw Zhang Shuhan nodding as he invited the person in from the intersection.
"Auntie, please wait a moment, I'll go get your things." She said, going into the kitchen and coming out with two baskets.
Qiao Manman was worried that the eggs would freeze, so she covered the basket with straw: "Auntie, please count them, there are a hundred in total. This is five yuan for Comrade Zhang, please give it to him."
"Thank you so much, Xiao Qiao. It's so cold outside, but I trust you, so I won't count it. Come over for a feast tomorrow."
Qiao Manman nodded and saw them out. Then she saw Zhang Shuhan jog over, take the basket from his mother's hand, and smile at her.
Qiao Manman closed the door and went back inside to continue eating. After finishing, she went into her space to do farm work to aid digestion. She picked cotton, cut wheat ears, dug up sweet potatoes, and dug potatoes.
I worked up a good sweat, then took my clean clothes to soak in the hot spring. Half an hour later, I returned to the villa and lay on the sofa to watch a movie.
In a daze, I slept soundly until dawn.
After washing up, Qiao Manman came to Yin Ruxue and asked, "Sister Ruxue, is my cotton-padded coat ready?"
"It's done! All three are done! I was wondering why you weren't here!"
Qiao Manman took the coat and noticed that the clothes were neat and the stitches were fine. She nodded in satisfaction: "It looks great!"
"Want to give it a try?" Yin Ruxue said with a smile, "If anything doesn't fit, I'll fix it for you!"
"Sure!" Qiao Manman replied, taking off her wool coat and putting on a cotton-padded jacket.
I found that the width was just right, and when I looked down, I noticed that it was even tapered at the waist.
“I saw that your family is well-off, so I made you a fitted dress. Wearing it like this makes you look more energetic,” Yin Ruxue explained.
Qiao Manman raised her hand to test her armpits; there was no stiffness at all. Looking down at the hem of her cotton-padded coat, it just covered her waist.
"Thank you, Sister Ruxue, I really like it."
He took out a few pieces of cloth from his bag and said, "Could you please make me a few smocks?"
"Okay! The smock will be ready quickly. Come and pick it up in two days."
"No rush, take your time. I'll come back to pick it up on Sunday when we're off work."
Qiao Manman put on her thin cotton-padded jacket, folded her woolen coat, wrapped it together with the other two cotton-padded jackets in a cloth bag, and carried it home.
When she got home, she felt warm all over and didn't want to take her clothes off.
However, since they were going to a banquet soon and there would be many people, it would be easy to get the laundry dirty. Qiao Manman went into her space to look in the mirror and admire herself. When she came out, she changed back into her black woolen clothes.
She braided her hair into two pigtails and put on the red hair clip that Wu Caidie had given her.
Qiao Manman took out a mirror and looked at herself: "Oh my, this little girl is so cute!"
After saying that, Qiao Manman laughed and got up to go out to attend the wedding.
She treated everyone equally and even prepared a pair of red pillowcases for Zhang Shuhan.
When Zhang's mother saw the pillowcase, her eyes lit up. She pulled Qiao Manman aside to thank her, saying that without her, there would be no wedding.
Qiao Manman waved her hand: "Auntie, please don't say that. I just said something to Comrade Zhang. In the end, it's fate that brought them together."
I hope that Comrades Zhang and Wu will live a harmonious and loving life together, have many children, and grow old together in happiness.
"Comrade Xiao Qiao, you really know how to talk. Auntie thanks you on their behalf!"
Qiao Manman smiled, saw Liang Simin waving at her, told Zhang's mother, and went over to chat with her friends.
"I never expected they'd actually get together. I thought..."
Qiao Manman understood the unspoken words: "I also think that all we can say is that fate has its own plan."
She glanced at the other person and asked, "Sister Simin, do you have a boyfriend? When are you planning to get married?"
"Hey, what are you talking about? I still have a long way to go, I'll work hard for a couple more years! But you, so pretty, you must have a lot of suitors coming to your door, right?"
Qiao Manman smiled and said, "I have a boyfriend, and he will be proposing to me soon."
"Oh? Where is your boyfriend from, and what does he do?"
"He...it's a secret!" Qiao Manman giggled. "Come visit me later? We haven't seen each other in a while!"
"Sure!" Liang Simin glanced towards the door: "Hey, the bride's coming in!"
The two walked over hand in hand and saw Wu Caidie wearing a red cotton-padded jacket being carried into the room by Zhang Shuhan. Both of them had happy smiles on their faces.
Behind them followed the young men from the machinery factory, laughing and egging them on. Factory Director Miao waited for the two to stop in the center of the courtyard, then began the process with a smile.
Just like the one I attended before, we took an oath and bowed to heaven and earth, and it ended quickly.
Liang Simin pulled Qiao Manman to sit at the table with her colleagues from the supply and marketing cooperative, and introduced her to everyone with a smile: "This is my sister. In the future, if there are any defective products in our unit, you can save a portion for her."
