Chapter 426 I have no regrets, and I'm really looking forward to our baby!
"Okay, okay, I'll be more careful next time!" Qiao Manman moved her hand away and touched her nose guiltily.
An Jinnan shook his head: "It's not that I'll be more careful next time, it's that there will be no next time!"
Qiao Manman smiled and continued her work, but after only two minutes, she sneezed three times.
"See? I told you, staying up late is no good!"
Qiao Manman wiped her nose: "Someone is probably thinking about me!"
In Yang County, Qiao Runming brought the diapers that were drying in the yard into the house, fed his two sons milk, wiped their bottoms and changed their diapers before going to work at the machinery factory.
It's still early, so I'll borrow a phone from Director Miao; the cost will be deducted from my salary.
Director Miao gave up his office, and the call was quickly transferred to the military unit. However, only Lu Yuan came to pick him up.
Qiao Runming asked, "Where's Manman?"
"She went to work and can't answer the phone!"
"Hmm? What kind of job did Manman find? Can't you support her on her salary?"
"I...can afford to support her, but she wants to realize her own value!"
Qiao Runming couldn't understand, so he simply stopped asking: "What's her work phone number? Tell me, I need to ask her something!"
"Dad, Manman is in a classified unit; they only allow one-way communication. If you need anything, just tell me, and I'll help you!"
Qiao Runming hesitated for a moment, then said, "Someone has been investigating your mother-in-law recently, and we're a little scared!"
Lu Yuan understood and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing."
"But I can't think of anything good. Your mother is just an ordinary woman, what's there to investigate!"
Lu Yuan hinted at something: "It's about my mother's background!"
"We found her family! How was she abandoned in the mountains?" Qiao Runming stood up excitedly, startling Miao Shoujun who was standing at the door.
Lu Yuan used the same excuse: "It's not confirmed yet. Once it's confirmed, Manman and I will take Mother to meet her relatives!"
"Okay, okay, you guys investigate first. Don't make a mistake and let Nian Nian get her hopes up for nothing!"
"Mother, haven't you remembered anything all these years?"
He remembered his wife saying that his mother-in-law had lost her memory because of a blood clot in her brain.
After such a long period of treatment, the blood stasis should have been completely absorbed. Those forgotten memories should be slowly reawakening.
Qiao Runming shook his head: "No, she doesn't remember anything."
Lu Yuan didn't ask any more questions, thinking it might be a psychological reason.
Perhaps the events of that time were too painful, making her unwilling to face reality and choosing to selectively forget.
"Dad, please keep this from Mom for now. I'll call you once things are cleared up."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you! How are Dahuang and Xiaohua doing? Are they able to adapt to life over there?"
The persimmons in our yard are almost ripe, but there weren't many this year.
I'll send a message to the brigade leader: we'll mail you some when you come down from the mountain. Manman loves to eat them!
Lu Yuan wanted to say that they also had persimmons here. But thinking of his father-in-law's love for his daughter, he didn't refuse.
He smiled and agreed, "I'll personally deliver the persimmons to Manman once I receive them."
The pine nuts and hazelnuts here are almost ripe; I'll send them to you once they're harvested.
"Why send anything? Keep it for yourselves. That's all, I'm hanging up now, you're busy!"
After saying that, he slammed the phone down without even saying goodbye.
Hearing the dial tone from the microphone, Lu Yuan smiled helplessly.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, I wondered what Qiao Manman was doing.
That night, he acted impulsively, but he doesn't regret it.
I wonder if Manman is also looking forward to their baby as much as he is.
That's right, just because they didn't wear a condom once, they were both very certain that she would get pregnant.
Lu Yuan was in good health, and Qiao Manman had taken fertility pills, so it was only a matter of time before she became pregnant.
The wind blew by, bringing a rustling sound. Just as Lu Yuan was about to go to the playground, he heard the bugle call for an emergency mission.
He jogged to the assembly point, received his task, and set off.
He glanced in the direction of the research institute and thought to himself, "Wife, you must wait for me to come back before we go to meet our relatives!"
However, things are always full of drama.
He had only been gone for two days when the approval came through. His superiors granted He Jingcheng permission to return home.
Qiao Manman also finished her work and gave An Jinnan her work plan before preparing to ask for leave to go home to her family compound.
As a result, I heard the news that Lu Yuan had gone on a mission.
She was very disappointed and sat sullenly in the cafeteria.
He Jingcheng came over excitedly: "Girl, come home with your uncle!"
"No, Lu Yuan is on a mission!"
"Let him go on a mission, it's none of his business! We're uncle and nephew, what does it have to do with him! Go see your grandparents with your uncle first."
"I don't want to go!" Qiao Manman said listlessly, not wanting to move.
"No way! I finally got this approved. If I miss this opportunity, I don't know how much longer it will be delayed."
"You should go with your uncle. Things have gotten this big; it'll be hard to end without a conclusion."
Qiao Manman was getting impatient with his pestering, and finally let out a long sigh: "Fine!"
He Jingcheng was delighted and happily packed his luggage.
Qiao Manman lazily went to ask for leave.
"Comrade Xiao Qiao..."
Huo Wangshu gave her a complicated look, then signed his name on the leave slip: "Be careful on the road, and come back soon!"
Qiao Manman nodded and took the leave slip home to her family compound. Looking at the notebook Lu Yuan had left behind, a smile curved her lips.
"Honey, I dreamt last night that you were pulling my ear, it hurt a little, I miss you so much!"
"Honey, I acted impulsively that day, but I don't regret it. What about you?"
"Honey, do you think our baby will look more like you or me?"
I hope you're like me—fair-skinned, clean-cut, and gentle. Being like me isn't good; I'm cold and aloof, and my comrades don't like that.
"young married woman......"
Lu Yuan wrote a lot of incoherent ramblings in his notebook.
Some even crossed out words and wrote them down repeatedly, wanting to say something but not daring to, their anxiety revealed between the lines.
Qiao Manman found it amusing: "Lu Yuan, why are you so talkative?"
Picking up the pen on the table, she wrote on the last line: "I have no regrets, and I'm really looking forward to our baby!"
I don't know why, but my eyes felt sore when I finished writing. If I let it go any longer, I'm afraid tears would fall.
There was a knock at the door, and Qiao Manman called out, "Who is it?"
"It's my sister-in-law!" Xia Zhao's voice came from behind. "The leader asked me to accompany you back to meet your family!"
Qiao Manman waved her hand and released Xiao Hua.
After whispering to it for a while, I opened the door and asked Xia Zhao to take Xiao Hua to the military dog base.
"Thank you so much, Zhao Zhao. I'll pack up and we'll be ready to go!"
"No rush, the leader said everything is up to you!"
As he was saying this, he tried to grab Little Flower's wings, but instead, he got his head squatted down.
After not seeing her for a while, Xiao Hua had grown even stronger. Xia Zhao felt like he had a pot on his head.
"Little Flower, come down and be good!" Qiao Manman said, and Little Flower fluttered its wings and landed on the ground.
He rubbed against her trouser leg, looking aggrieved, and followed Xia Zhao away.
Qiao Manman packed her luggage and put a lot of food in the bedroom.
When I went outside and came downstairs, I found He Jingcheng already waiting in the car.
