Qiao Manman waved her hand: "Hehe, there's no need! I'm going back now, you guys eat it while it's hot!"
"Okay, sister-in-law, thank you!"
Qiao Manman returned to the room and saw Li Hailian and He Dechang staring at her expectantly. She raised an eyebrow and said, "You guys eat! What are you standing there for?"
“My dear niece, this is a gift from your uncle!” He Jingcheng said, handing over a box.
Qiao Manman opened it and saw that it was a gold watch.
"Oh ho, Rolex, He Jingcheng, how much did you spend?"
Qiao Manman took off her Titoni watch and put it in her pocket, then put on her Rolex: "It looks really good. Is it gold?"
"Absolutely! I put a lot of thought into buying it and have treasured it for years."
This watch costs over three thousand. If you're short on cash, you can sell the whole thing, or even just the strap.
Consider this the confidence your uncle gives you!
Qiao Manman smiled and accepted the gift: "Thank you, Uncle!"
He took a small box out of his canvas bag: "A return gift!"
"What?"
"open to take a look!"
He Jingcheng opened the box and found several porcelain bottles and a red rope inside.
"What is this?"
"Strengthening the Body Pill, Nine Yang Rising Dragon Pill, All-Purpose Heart-Clearing Pill, Liver-Protecting and Spleen-Protecting Pill."
"Medicine? Do I look like I need these?"
He Jingcheng pursed his lips and tied the red string around his wrist: "You really underestimate me! Your uncle is in very good health!"
Qiao Manman said with a smile, "This kind of thing is extremely rare and hard to come by in Northeast China."
"Really? I don't believe it!"
"Have you heard of the Fertility Pill? It's made by the same master craftsman using an ancient formula from the same book!"
He Jingcheng immediately became serious: "Are you serious?"
"Otherwise, would I lie to you? Hasn't Uncle heard that I'm the master who makes fertility pills by hand?"
He Jingcheng: "......"
"My God, is my niece really that amazing?"
He Jingcheng immediately hugged the box to his chest and said with great care, "I will definitely cherish it!"
Qiao Manman rolled her eyes: "Medicines all have an expiration date. Take them when you're supposed to, don't be stingy!"
Li Hailian and He Dechang were astonished to discover that their granddaughter was the inventor of the famous Fertility Pill.
"Girl, you're amazing! This is a gift from Grandma to you!"
Li Hailian opened the box, inside were a pair of exquisite jade bracelets and a ring set with a diamond the size of a fingernail.
"This is all the old woman has left. The rest has been given to the higher-ups for scientific research. Don't be disgusted, girl!"
"How could that be? These two things are priceless! Thank you, Grandma, I love them!"
Qiao Manman reciprocated by giving her a box containing several bird's nests, a jar of Longjing tea, and several porcelain bottles.
He tied the red rope around her neck and casually tossed her a melon-producing technique.
A multitude of thoughts suddenly flooded Li Hailian's mind, making her feel dizzy.
Qiao Manman quickly poured her a glass of water, and after drinking it, she felt better.
"Girl, you've gone to so much trouble!" Li Hailian touched the box. "Such a complete bird's nest is very rare!"
"It's alright, I bought it in Shanghai! Grandpa, did you prepare a gift for me?"
"Ready, ready, here we are!"
What He Dechang gave was a long box, which felt quite heavy when you held it.
I opened it and saw a painting inside: "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains? It's quite beautiful! But why is the box so heavy?"
Qiao Manman rolled up the painting, placed it on the table, and examined the box. In less than three seconds, she found the hidden compartment.
Inside, ten small yellow croakers were neatly arranged.
"Hehe, I've found something good!"
"All for you, all for you!"
"Uncle has no objections?"
"No objection, no objection, take it all. I don't need any money at the research institute!"
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa, thank you, Uncle!" Qiao Manman put the things away and handed a box to He Dechang.
The ingredients are the same as Li Hailian's, but the bird's nest has been replaced with ginseng.
Then put a red string on him and throw him a rice high-yield technique.
He Dechang also felt dizzy, but after drinking Qiao Manman's tea, he gradually felt refreshed.
Looking at Qiao Manman suspiciously, he saw her smile slightly: "Grandpa, are you sleepy? Why don't you go upstairs and rest for a while?"
He Dechang shook his head: "I haven't eaten yet. I have to try your cooking."
As he spoke, he reached for the sweet and sour fish with his chopsticks. After just a slight touch, he could see the tender white fish meat under the sauce.
He Dechang swallowed hard, peeled off the tender thorns inside, dipped them in sauce, and put them in his mouth.
The combination of sour and sweet flavors instantly captivated his taste buds.
He Dechang said to Li Hailian with delight, "Wife, try it! It's delicious and not fishy at all."
Li Hailian nodded, tasted the fish, and then tried Mapo Tofu and Dry-fried Green Beans.
The fragrant and spicy flavor made her unable to stop eating, and before she knew it, she was stuffed.
Finally, he slumped onto the sofa, grabbed Qiao Manman's hand, and said, "Tell me about your parents!"
Qiao Manman fed each of them a hawthorn pill and nodded, "Okay!"
When talking about the Qingshan Brigade.
The two elderly people were heartbroken to learn that their daughter had been bullied by a fake mother-in-law for more than ten years.
Fortunately, Qiao Runming was a good man; at least he prevented his daughter and granddaughter from being eaten by those wolves and tigers.
"The bad times are over. The two of them are quite happy now. They had twins, and my dad is really proud of them."
Li Hailian gently patted Qiao Manman's hand: "Don't pay attention to him. In the He family, men and women are the same!"
"It's alright, Grandma. I'm a grown-up, how could I possibly compete with my little brother for attention? Don't worry, I'm also looking forward to their arrival."
In a family, the worst thing is to have a shortage of male heirs. Only when the family is thriving can it strive for advancement.
"It's good that you've figured it out!" Li Hailian looked at her with relief: "I heard from Jingcheng that you got married?"
"Yes, my man's surname is Lu, his name is Lu Yuan, he's a deputy regimental commander, and he treats me very well!"
"What should I do? Tell me! How did you two meet? Why didn't he come back with you?"
"He's on a mission, and I don't know when it will end."
We were introduced by the leaders of the machinery factory. We went through a lot together and were attracted to each other, which is the kind of relationship where we helped each other succeed.
"My uncle has met him, shall I have him tell you about it?"
"Lu Yuan is handsome, but he has a terrible temper. Mother, you don't know, the first time I went to my niece's house, I was kicked out by that Lu fellow!"
Li Hailian asked curiously, "Why is he so disrespectful to you? Did you do something to offend him?"
Fearing they would have a bad impression of Lu Yuan, Qiao Manman quickly explained, "I was on vacation, and he just showed up there. After dinner, he just stayed there. Do you think Lu Yuan would be happy about that?"
Li Hailian kicked He Jingcheng: "You little rascal, you have no sense at all. Don't you know that young people like you want to be intimate?"
That's true, he's an old bachelor, he doesn't know anything about love between men and women!
"Manman, do you know any women in their thirties? It doesn't matter if they're married or have children, as long as they can share a life with him."
