Chapter 186 What? Chen Xiaoxia has taken a liking to Chen Dashan?
He picked up a piece of cured pork with his chopsticks; it was just right, not too salty or bland. There were also shredded potatoes, kimchi, and other dishes, which were just as good as what the cafeteria chefs made.
"My goodness, Sister Lu Simin, with such skill, who will be lucky enough to marry you!"
One sentence made all three of them cough. Qiao Manman didn't care at all, and chuckled as she made malted milk powder for her two brothers.
"Eat up!" Qiao Haoyang put a piece of cured meat on Liang Simin's plate. Liang Simin blushed and thanked him, "Comrade Qiao, you should eat too!"
"it is good!"
Qiao Manman and Qiao Chengping exchanged a glance and secretly smiled: "This is promising!"
"By the way, Haoyang and Chengping, what are you two doing in the county? Buying things or just wandering around?"
"We came in to relax! Manman, you don't know, Third Brother got a job!"
Qiao Manman asked curiously, "What kind of job is it? Is the factory in the county hiring?" It can't be the temporary teacher that the team leader mentioned before!
Qiao Haoyang nudged Qiao Chengping with his elbow: "Don't talk nonsense. It's just that the village primary school was recruiting teachers. I signed up and then I was selected!"
"Really! There are so many educated youths in our team, it's amazing that Haoyang was able to stand out!"
Qiao Manman gave a thumbs up: "And you, didn't you pass the exam?"
Qiao Chengping awkwardly touched his nose: "The brigade leader said that we should give the commune members a chance, so he selected two educated youths and one commune member. I just happened to be the third among the educated youths."
Qiao Manman covered her mouth and chuckled, only saying after she annoyed him, "Then you'd better study hard in your spare time and strive to win first place in the next recruitment."
"I know!" Qiao Chengping buried his head and ate a few mouthfuls of rice, saying, "I received a reply from my grandparents a couple of days ago, saying they are doing well in the Northeast."
My grandfather, with his excellent medical skills, has become the team doctor for that production team.
"That's good! I got some cornmeal a couple of days ago, please send it to them later!"
Qiao Chengping nodded and went to the post office after finishing his meal.
Qiao Manman pretended to be very sleepy, and Liang Simin got up to say goodbye. Qiao Haoyang went out to see her off.
As a result, it never came back after being sent. I went to the park for more than an hour, and then went to the cinema to watch a movie.
The two had a good impression of each other and decided to get to know each other better.
In the evening, Qiao Haoyang brought a bunch of snacks to her door: "Thanks, girl!"
Qiao Manman accepted it with a smile: "Third brother, try your best to win over Sister Simin. Of course, whether it's suitable or not is up to you two to decide, don't let me have any reservations."
Qiao Haoyang ruffled Qiao Manman's hair: "I know, let's go. You close the door and get some rest."
"Alright, you and Fourth Brother be careful on the road."
Qiao Manman went back to her room and slipped into her spatial dimension. After washing up, she lay in bed, feeling incredibly tired after this week's rest!
As winter deepened, Qiao Manman discovered that she wasn't cold at all wearing a thin cotton-padded coat to work.
Is this the power of mutated cotton, with its cold resistance doubled, doubled, doubled?
The sky was overcast, and it looked like it could snow at any moment. It's been a month, and there's still no word from Lu Yuan. I really want to dump him!
The office has no heating; it relies on a small stove to maintain the room temperature.
A colleague developed chilblains on her fingers, so Qiao Manman redeemed two boxes of chilblain cream from the system shop and left them with the security guard so anyone who needed them could apply them.
On Saturday, Qiao Manman left work two hours early to go home and check on things.
Yan Chengke's health gradually improved thanks to Qiao Manman's unintentional feeding: "If it snows, you can come back to work two days later. Your salary will still be paid."
Qiao Manman chuckled: "I'm afraid my other colleagues will have something to say?"
"If they have something to do, they can ask for leave. We talk about dedication, and we also encourage our employees to pay attention to safety."
What's more, the little trinkets you drew sold very well; in just one quarter, they made as much as they did in half a year last year.
Without you, how will they have a prosperous New Year?
His colleagues laughed: "Yes, Comrade Xiao Qiao, our factory was not only praised by the county leaders this year, but even the provincial leaders called on other factories to learn from us."
Every time I hear my friends mention it, I feel incredibly proud.
"Don't worry, we've got the support in the office, nothing will go wrong. It's getting cold, hurry back home and check if the kang (heated brick bed) is warm enough, and if your parents are eating well."
If you encounter any difficulties, just tell your older siblings, and they'll definitely help you get things done properly!
"Alright, thank you all."
Qiao Manman left and found her car in the shed.
She made a cover out of cotton and cotton cloth; it wasn't pretty, but it was warm enough.
Many people followed suit, but they didn't know that Qiao Manman used mutated cotton, which was many times stronger than ordinary cotton in terms of wind and cold protection.
However, everyone still admired her cleverness. They thought young people have so many ideas, and they come up with brilliant ideas so easily.
Qiao Manman thought to herself, "This is basic stuff from later generations." However, she only remembered it after being reminded by netizens.
I was riding my bike home when it got dark halfway there.
Qiao Manman took the opportunity to take out a basket and tie it to the back seat of the car.
They put in five pounds of pork, two fish, a bunch of bananas, seven or eight oranges, a box of strawberries, a box of cherries, and some rice and noodles.
When I got home, I put the basket on the ground and saw He Nian coming out to greet me with her big belly. I quickly went over to help her up and said, "Mom, let me go with you to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. Your belly looks a bit too big."
He Nian shook her head and said, "No need. I asked Doctor Su to check my pulse. He said I'm carrying twins and the babies are very healthy."
Qiao Manman was startled for a moment and asked the system, "System, my mother has never taken any fertility pills, how could she be pregnant with twins?"
"Humans can naturally conceive twins. Your mother was just lucky. What's the big deal?"
"Really? Are you sure you didn't tamper with it?"
"How could you think of Tongtong like that, host? Tongtong is a good person, how could she go against your wishes?"
The reason the host mother was so powerful was because she ate so much good food, her body was in excellent condition, making it easy for the fertilized egg to implant, resulting in a pregnancy with twins.
"Ha, really?" Qiao Manman asked suspiciously, but didn't press the matter further.
Turning to He Nian, he said, "Mom, it's getting cold. Let someone else feed the pigs!"
He Nian nodded: "I've had Chengping go over and help out these past two days, and he's doing a great job!"
"Ha, really?" Qiao Manman couldn't help but laugh when she thought of that scene. She helped the person back into the house and washed a basin of strawberries for her: "Mom, try some, they're delicious."
"What?!" she exclaimed, popping a piece into her mouth. "It's so sweet! Is it expensive? Do you have enough money?"
"That's enough, eat as much as you want. By the way, where's my dad? I haven't seen him!"
"That Chen Dashan, the one who was struck by lightning after Qiao Zhenzhen came to propose to you, saw Chen Xiaoxia's man harassing her a couple of days ago and chased him away."
Your Aunt Qiuhua thought he was a good man and went to propose marriage, but Chen Dashan was not happy about it.
Your Aunt Qiuhua heard that our two families have reconciled and are on good terms, so she asked your father to go and ask them what they're unhappy about.
Qiao Manman spat out a mouthful of strawberries: "What? Chen Xiaoxia has a crush on Chen Dashan?"
