You don't need to prepare your own tableware; there are plates in the kitchen.
Just tell the chef what you want to eat, and he'll make sure you're well-fed. He'll make sure everyone gets a big, full bowl.
"Eat your fill! A full stomach makes your mind work faster, and you can contribute to the country!"
Qiao Manman stood in line, and when she saw the new face, everyone just glanced at her and went about their own business.
"Uncle, I'd like a spoonful of braised pork, a spoonful of kimchi, half a steamed bun, and a tiny bit of pickled garlic shoots!"
"Is this all you have to eat? You look unfamiliar, are you new here? Don't be shy, we have plenty of supplies here, you'll be better off working if you eat well!"
As he spoke, he added a spoonful of sweet and sour meatballs and a little shredded potato to her bowl: "I'll give you a whole steamed bun. If you can't finish it, put it back and take it out to eat when you're hungry!"
Qiao Manman was so touched by his enthusiasm: "Thank you, Uncle. I wish you all the best in your work and a promotion and raise!"
"Cultural people really know how to talk! Thank you, Uncle! Go find a place to sit down, and come back for more if you're still hungry!"
Qiao Manman found a corner to sit down, thinking that she should prepare her own rice bowl when getting food tomorrow, so that she could take any leftovers home and avoid wasting food.
Ding Jingwen smiled and said, "Uncle Lai is just that kind of person, you'll get used to it!"
Qiao Manman hummed in agreement and began to eat heartily. A bite of shredded potato, a bite of sweet and sour meatballs—she wolfed down her food, exclaiming, "Master's cooking is so good!"
"Of course, we specially recruited Chef Lai from a state-run restaurant!"
I don't know if it was because I used my brain all morning, but Qiao Manman actually finished all the food. She was a little full though.
"You can rest for two hours at noon. You need to report to the research lab before 2:30."
I live in room 107. If you have any problems, come find me, or go to the logistics department and find Director Li!
Qiao Manman nodded, handed over the tray, and followed Ding Jingwen back to the dormitory.
This was the first day, and she was helping herself get acquainted with the environment. From the afternoon onwards, she would have to adapt to life at the research institute on her own.
Qiao Manman returned to her dormitory, closed the door, rested her hands on the windowsill, looked at the scenery outside, and chewed on a hawthorn pill.
"Burp~~~ I'm so full! What's Lu Yuan doing?"
Perhaps because it's not easy to leave once you're inside, Qiao Manman actually missed him after a few hours apart.
Meanwhile, Lu Yuan, far away, was also missing Qiao Manman. Lunch was as hard to swallow as chewing wax; without his wife, the house was colder than the dead of winter.
In the afternoon, he packed his things and went to his dormitory.
Then Brigade Commander He said, "The old woman Yu who started the trouble was instigated by someone to go and cause trouble for Qiao Manman."
Lu Yuan nodded, having made a guess.
"Jiang Minggen has limited abilities, and he is getting older these past two years, so he may have to change careers at any time."
He was all alone, and even widows with children wouldn't marry him. Yu Daya's mentality became somewhat unbalanced, so...
No matter what Lu Yuan could say, he felt the same helplessness as Deputy Division Commander Shen.
"I've already criticized Jiang Minggen, and he said he'll personally go to your house tonight to apologize!"
Lu Yuan waved his hand: "Never mind!"
Just like my wife said, it's pointless to argue with them.
Even though they are disabled, they still cling to it. What kind of image would they have in the eyes of others?
It will affect my future!
"Who instigated Aunt Yu?"
"Commander Chen's wife said she envied Comrade Qiao, who not only knew how to make pills, but also how to make money with his secret recipe."
If she had half of Xiao Qiao's abilities, she would distribute fertility pills to everyone for free, so that everyone could continue their bloodline.
It was just a casual remark, but Aunt Yu took it to heart.
Despite saying that, neither of them were stupid. They could tell at a glance that Meng Peiyu was trying to incite the other party to be jealous of Qiao Manman.
"As for how Meng Peiyu knew, it all started with your last mission. Didn't you tell Xiang Hanfei and the others that your wife could make fertility pills?"
Lu Yuan thought about it and realized it was true, so he nodded.
"At first they didn't take it seriously, but later they found out that the team was really selling fertility pills, so they contacted your wife."
The group didn't publicize it, but they had talked about it privately. Someone probably overheard it and passed it on to Xiao Chen's wife, which is why she told Granny Yu.
As for the specific transmission route, he investigated but found not a single clue.
"Although there is no concrete evidence to prove that she started the trouble, Commander Chen is still willing to take responsibility and is prepared to take a month's salary to compensate Comrade Qiao."
"Goodbye, boss. I wasn't saying all that to swindle anyone; I just wanted to get justice for my wife. Now that things are clear, let's leave it at that. Let her calm down for a while."
Commander He nodded, crossed his hands and placed them on the table, looking at Lu Yuan with considerable curiosity.
"Your wife, did she really go there?"
"Ok!"
"She's in a bad mood. It would be better if she stayed in the family compound for a couple of days, or went back to Kyoto and Huiyang County. Once she's in that place, she won't be able to get out for at least two months!"
The key point is that she might not be able to get out even after two months. I don't know what this guy was thinking, that he would be willing to send his wife in.
Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat: "I've already spoken with Dean Huo, I'll pick her up in two weeks!"
Commander He scoffed, "She's already had access to classified information. What do you think the chances are of her returning to being an ordinary person?"
"She's just an ordinary high school graduate!"
"Ordinary high school graduates can't get into that place!"
Lu Yuan fell silent. The moment Qiao Manman stepped into the research institute, he regretted it, but there was no turning back now.
He straightened his hat, his face calm and collected: "I have other matters to attend to at the troupe, so I'll head back now."
"You little brat, do you think I don't know if you're in trouble?"
Commander He pointed at him and said, "By the way, do you still have any fertility pills? Someone else is begging me to buy some!"
"Special grade or regular grade?"
"How many of the top-grade ones do you have?"
"no!"
"What about the regular kind?"
"nor!"
"Then what do you have?"
There's nothing there!
"No, you don't have any fertility pills, why are you arguing with me for so long?"
"My pleasure!"
"You!" Commander He was so angry that his head was practically steaming.
Lu Yuan calmly said, "Let them wait. We'll talk about it when my wife comes out."
He thought that if Qiao Manman went back to Kyoto or Yang County, she would probably be called back while still on the train.
"Alright, alright, I'll talk to them properly."
Commander He waved for them to leave. Lu Yuan didn't linger; he ran a few laps on the parade ground before going to eat.
Dinner was still tasteless, but the presence of Lu Yifeng, Wei Hanpeng, and others chatting and joking around made me feel a little better.
Back in the dorm, lying on my single bed, I couldn't fall asleep. My mind was filled with images of Qiao Manman; it had only been a few hours since we parted, but it felt like centuries had passed.
Of course, besides him, there were a lot of other people thinking about Qiao Manman.
Shen Fu, Aunt Hua, Jiang Hanyu, and other family members were forced by Ma Qinqin to study politics for an entire afternoon, leaving them dizzy and disoriented.
