Chapter 440 She's indispensable in helping the nation develop!
"Damn, it's so late!"
Qiao Manman was extremely anxious. She took out several talismans from her spatial storage and figured out how to use them most economically.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a familiar face: "Who's that? Why does she look so much like Meng Peiyu?"
After Qiao Manman finished speaking, she already had the answer in her heart.
"Host, what do you want to do?"
Qiao Manman threw out a locator and attached it to Meng Linyu: "Go home first, and deal with them when you have some free time!"
The system agreed, and after the oxcart had gone far away, Qiao Manman entered the space along with the cart.
He came out again, cast a Swift Wind Talisman on himself, and ran away in no time, arriving at the He family's courtyard in less than two minutes.
The young soldiers have already gotten up and are practicing in the courtyard.
Qiao Manman passed through the wall with such speed that it was like a gust of wind.
When she returned to the bedroom, Xia Zhao was still sleeping peacefully.
Qiao Manman went into the space, washed up properly, and waited for the invisibility talisman to wear off before coming out to give Xia Zhao the antidote.
But she was overcome with sleepiness and fell asleep within two seconds.
Xia Zhao woke up from her sleep and yawned, feeling refreshed.
Turning her head to look, she saw Qiao Manman sleeping peacefully and breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought to himself that it was fortunate his sister-in-law hadn't sneaked out, otherwise, if something had happened, how would she explain it to Deputy Regiment Commander Lu?
I tiptoed out of bed, opened the door, and went downstairs.
In the living room, He Dechang and He Jingcheng were reading the newspaper. Hearing the noise, they turned around and said in unison, "Manman is still not awake."
Xia Zhao nodded: "My sister-in-law likes to sleep in!"
He Jingcheng frowned: "That's not right. When I was at the research institute, I left early and returned late every day. I don't seem like someone who would sleep in late at all."
Xia Zhao blurted out, "It's not working time now."
Completely unaware, that was Qiao Manman's excuse to avoid her uncle.
Li Hailian was helping Lin Tong cook in the kitchen. She had never cooked before and could only assist him, and she didn't even know how to do it properly.
Lin Tong was embarrassed to laugh, but she really couldn't hold it in.
All I could do was make excuses for her: "Sister Li's hands are meant for research; it's a waste of her talents to do this."
"They're all the same, they're all just trying to make a living, there's no difference in status or wealth!"
You want to slice this cucumber? I'll get it done right away!
Li Hailian's words warmed Lin Tong's heart: "Yes, the slices are just right, let's make some cucumber salad!"
Xia Zhao smiled, washed up, and went outside to train. Although she was a woman, her moves were fierce.
Ji Ming's eyes lit up as he watched. After she finished her set of punches, he stepped forward and asked, "Shall we practice together?"
"Let's practice then!" Xia Zhao said, then jogged forward and took the initiative to attack.
Ji Ming was on the defensive, feeling her strength, and dared not let his guard down.
After a few minutes of back-and-forth fighting, both sides stopped, and a group of greenhorns cheered, "One more!"
Ji Ming glared at them: "You really want to see me lose? I admit I'm not as good as Xia Zhao, okay?"
Xia Zhao blushed and said, "Captain Ji, you're too kind."
"Comrade Xia admitted it, you're amazing!" Ji Ming praised her generously, making Xia Zhao blush and turn back into the house.
Seeing this, the others egged Ji Ming on to go after her. But Ji Ming only glanced at her back and continued training.
Qiao Manman slept until the sun was high in the sky before she woke up.
Stretching and coming downstairs, Li Hailian held her hand tenderly: "Have you slept enough? Our Manman has been through so much! Are you hungry? Grandma saved some breakfast for you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Tong brought over the steamed egg custard, and Qiao Manman smiled and thanked her, "Thank you, Grandma, thank you, Aunt Lin!"
"Eat up, see if it suits your taste!" Lin Tong rubbed his hands nervously, standing to the side with an expectant look on his face.
Qiao Manman scooped up a spoonful and put it in her mouth, nodding, "It's so smooth and tender, delicious!"
It can't compare to Xiaohua's double-yolk egg, but it still has some of the charm of later restaurants.
Lin Tong laughed: "This is my specialty!"
Qiao Manman slurped down her drink in a few gulps and went to the bathroom to wash up.
When they came out, she asked Li Hailian, "Grandma, what are we going to do today? It's so boring at home!"
Li Hailian flicked her nose: "I wanted to take you to go beachcombing, but you slept until noon!"
"Let's take a stroll around the area then. I've never been to Dong Province before!"
“Sure, we’re going to Qingshan Brigade in a couple of days, right? Whatever your parents like, we’ll buy them a lot.”
And your two younger brothers, are they able to eat yet? Should we prepare some rice or rice noodles for them?
"Anything is fine, my parents will like it as long as it's a gift from you!"
"Alright, let's go to the department store after lunch!"
Qiao Manman nodded and took Xia Zhao for a stroll near the small building.
There are very few people living here, but every household has a guard.
Qiao Manman didn't dare to look around carelessly. After strolling around for a while, she came back and heard He Jingcheng say that the area was full of top scientific researchers.
Some study weapons, some study satellites, some study meteorology—it's a diverse range of fields.
Qiao Manman's mouth formed an "O" shape as she thought to herself, "No wonder this is a novel world; all the big shots are showing up here."
He Jingcheng smiled and closed her mouth, thinking to himself, "This is nothing!"
Qiao Manman blinked and asked in a low voice, "Shouldn't they be in the cowshed?"
"Ha, ha, ha ha..." This question is rather awkward.
"They were supposed to be in the cowshed, but half a year ago, I don't know what happened, but those with real talent were all recalled one after another."
They are all pure-hearted people, and even though they have been slandered and suppressed, their passion for scientific research has not been extinguished.
After just one conversation, he resolutely returned to his post, dedicating his life's work to scientific research!
Qiao Manman thought to herself, "This is a good thing. It's important to contribute to the country's development, and we can't do without her."
Her eyes darted around: "Grandma and Grandpa, are you familiar with them? I brought a lot of tea from Northeast China, would it be convenient to give them a couple of cans?"
He Dechang coughed lightly: "I do have a few friends. How about I call them over for tea?"
I was originally planning to formally introduce you when your parents arrive!
Qiao Manman nodded: "Anything is fine!"
As he spoke, he went upstairs, took out several cans of tea from his spatial storage, and sprinkled in powdered health-strengthening pills and minor rejuvenation pills.
Next, I went to the kitchen to boil water. I specially used spring water from the space, which tastes even sweeter.
Just as the fire was lit, He Dechang brought his men in, and the room instantly became lively.
Qiao Manman greeted them with a smile and then poured tea for each of them.
He Dechang proudly said, "Old Chen, Old Zhao, Old Feng, this is my newly recognized granddaughter, Qiao Manman!"
The fragrant aroma of tea filled the air, and the old men greeted her with smiles.
His gaze lingered unconsciously on the clear tea liquor: "What kind of tea is this? It smells like Longjing, but it's even more fragrant!"
"It's Longjing! Maybe it's because my little granddaughter is so skilled, the tea she brews smells especially good!"
A group of old men became interested in Qiao Manman and asked, "Your granddaughter has a good temperament. Has she been to school? What kind of career does she want to pursue in the future?"
If you don't mind, you could consider aerospace science!
He Dechang glared and said, "If you're going to learn, learn from me! You haven't even secured your job yet and you're already dreaming of flying to the heavens? What a pipe dream!"
