Chapter 111 A wealthy family!
Qiao Manman: "......"
Wow, what incredible luck! Her grandfather has practically maxed out all the buffs for this era!
"Alright then, I'll stay a little longer." Qiao Manman chuckled, "Grandpa, would you like to take a look at this pill?"
Qiao Lingyue coughed lightly, poured out a pill, and dissolved it in the teacup.
Smell it, lick it: "Good stuff!"
It contains ginseng, astragalus, white peony root...
There were also some flavors that he couldn't taste.
However, it is certain that even if this medicine cannot improve fertility, it can still have the effect of strengthening the body.
When a person is in good spirits, their libido naturally improves.
If you're strong in that area, won't the baby come naturally?
Qiao Lingyue began to have some faith in the pills. Thinking of Old Miao's third daughter-in-law, Old Ge's second daughter, Old Lin and his young wife...
Hey, it really is a market.
He glanced at the girl who was bumping heads with Tao Yingzhen, gossiping excitedly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
I got up, tidied up the lunchbox and teacup, and reminded them, "It's getting late, let's talk in bed!"
Tao Yingzhen's eyes lit up, and she pulled Qiao Manman to the next room to wash up. She even found her a cheongsam that she had worn when she was young.
"Tsk tsk, that waist is as beautiful as a willow branch!"
Qiao Manman said shyly, "I only have the advantage of being small; I can't compare to Grandma's gentle and intellectual nature."
Tao Yingzhen smiled and tapped her little nose: "I wonder which company will benefit in the future..."
"Ah, so your surname is Lu, right? You've got good taste, kid!"
Tao Yingzhen sized up Qiao Manman for a while before taking her hand and leading her back into the house.
The two lay in the soft quilt, chatting for a while about Qingshan Brigade and then about Suzhou and Shanghai.
The old lady told Qiao Manman a lot about the local customs and culture, and also told her where to find good food and where to buy local specialties.
Qiao Lingyue took out a book and read it under the dim light of an oil lamp.
Listening to the rustling sounds behind the screen, my feelings were quite complicated. My third son's daughter is not bad; she hasn't gone astray.
Time passed slowly, and the grandmother and grandson fell asleep while chatting.
Qiao Lingyue stared at the book for a moment, then got up, rummaged through the room for a while, and went out again.
When he returned, two hours had passed. There was an extra box in the yard. Qiao Lingyue adjusted the lamp wick and continued reading.
At 3:30 a.m., Qiao Lingyue called to Qiao Manman to get up: "Girl, it's time to go!"
Qiao Manman opened her eyes groggily and saw Qiao Lingyue's tired eyes, so she quickly got out of bed.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I fell asleep!"
"Okay!" Qiao Lingyue's voice was very gentle: "I'll go out first. Change your clothes and come out. I have something to tell you!"
Qiao Manman nodded and changed into her own clothes after the person left. Just as she was about to fold the cheongsam and put it by the bed, Tao Yingzhen grabbed her wrist.
"Take them, Grandma doesn't need them anymore. There are a few new ones in the closet, take them all!"
Qiao Manman knew that even if they left this thing behind, they wouldn't be able to hide it.
Nodding, "Don't worry, Grandma, I'll keep it safe. Once things calm down, the two of us, grandmother and granddaughter, will be the envy of everyone when we go out in our cheongsams."
The old lady smiled and patted her arm: "Go on, don't delay, come see me again when you have time!"
Qiao Manman hummed in agreement, packed the clothes, and carried them on her back.
There are also canvas bags; once you pick one up, you can tell they're different.
I opened the door and was somewhat surprised to see the boxes in the yard.
Qiao Lingyue said, "This is a medical technique passed down from our ancestors. You can learn it when you have time!"
Qiao Manman pouted: "You think too highly of me!"
Qiao Lingyue chuckled, her fingers tracing the yellowed pages: "Can I take them with me? If not, I'll burn them as firewood!"
Qiao Manman reached out and hugged it. Hey, it's really heavy.
I hugged her again; she was still heavy.
He said to Qiao Lingyue, "Sir, you go to sleep. I'll move it in two trips."
Qiao Lingyue was worried: "I'll help you!"
"No need, no need. You're too conspicuous; it's not good if people see you."
I know a good place nearby to hide things. I'll leave the books there for now and move them tomorrow night!
"You really don't need my help? Don't force yourself!"
"No, no, you can go back to sleep. I can take care of it in half an hour at most."
Qiao Lingyue nodded, got up and went back to the house.
"Oh, right, Grandpa, about this bag of mine..."
"I left you something; take a look when you get back!"
"Okay!" Qiao Manman waved her hand with a smile, "Grandpa, go back to your room, I need to start working!"
Qiao Lingyue hummed in agreement and told her to get to work.
Seeing that the door was bolted, Qiao Manman took out two stacks of books from the box.
The rest were stored in the space while the lid was closed, and then the empty box was taken out through the back door.
He returned a moment later and packed the two stacks of books into a cloth bundle. He carried one in his left hand and one in his right.
He walked away with steady steps, and as he passed the small door, he hooked the door panel with his foot.
Once you're in the shadows, enter the space with the book. Return the box to its original state and open the canvas bag.
They discovered that the lunchbox was stuffed with money and banknotes, amounting to at least ten or twenty thousand yuan.
"Wow, a big spender! So much money."
Qiao Manman never expected that her adoptive grandparents would trust her so much. In just a few days, they gave her treasures, ancient books, and even money to spend.
These are tiny, just the size of a finger gap, enough to support several of them.
Qiao Manman slumped in her recliner, watching the fruit trees burst into bloom. Some of the trees, already laden with fruit the size of a fingernail, were already bearing fruit.
Meanwhile, the mutated wheat and mutated rice remain in perfect condition, awaiting their owner's harvest.
Qiao Manman yawned and wiped away the tears welling up in her eyes.
I opened the map and traced along the eastern coastline. There were so many places I wanted to go, but I was held back by other things, and I always felt like I couldn't go very far.
Qiao Manman drew a few circles on the map, and seeing that it was getting late, she flashed out of the space.
I strolled to the state-run restaurant in the morning light and bought a bowl of porridge and two pan-fried buns.
At eight o'clock, I went to the post office and called Miao Shoujun: "Factory Manager, this is Manman. Yes, I just wanted to ask if the payment has been made yet?"
"I called, and the post office clerk helped me with it that evening. Judging by the time, the food factory should have received it!"
Qiao Manman smiled and nodded: "Okay, factory manager, I'll go to the food factory to confirm right away."
"Comrade Xiao Qiao, please be careful over there. If possible, it would be best if you came back with Comrades Fang Jianzhou and Wei Xueping!"
"I understand, factory manager! I'll hang up now, I'm going to the food factory to check on the progress!"
Qiao Manman hung up the phone and headed to the food factory. Just like a few days ago, it was crowded with people.
However, everyone's expressions were not very good.
Qiao Manman thought it was because Director Wu hadn't agreed to add an extra order for them, but then...
"Girl, you're here! Oh my goodness, what kind of factory do you own? Why did you order so many mooncakes all of a sudden!"
"That's right, it's made it so we can't book any!"
