It can also cause constipation.
Of course, Qiao Manman didn't say this, for fear of being impolite.
Meng Peiyu joined in the fun and took two dried persimmons. Seeing that they were the dark, unappetizing kind, she was completely relieved.
"It's good that she wasn't reborn!" Otherwise, she would know how delicious the molten center is.
Qiao Manman noticed Meng Peiyu's expression and smiled as she saw everyone off. She also reminded them that it was windy outside and to make sure the children were kept warm.
After all the guests had left, Qiao Manman rubbed her aching cheeks and slumped onto a bench.
Lu Yuan cleared the dishes and washed them in the kitchen. The cold tap water flowed over his fingertips, but he seemed not to feel it.
Seeing that Meng Peiyu had walked far away and showed no sign of returning, Qiao Manman rushed to the kitchen to change his hot water.
Lu Yuan thanked her with a smile, and Qiao Manman waved her hand: "I'll go wash up first, come over as soon as you're done!"
"Okay!" Lu Yuan replied, speeding up his dishwashing.
After washing and putting away the dishes, wiping the table, and sweeping the floor, he knocked on the bathroom door when Qiao Manman didn't come out.
Having received permission, he squeezed in. He washed himself with Qiao Manman's bathwater and then went back to his room to sleep.
"Honey, you've worked hard tonight!"
Qiao Manman hummed in agreement and fell asleep instantly. Lu Yuan kissed her on the lips before finally closing his eyes.
The next day, Qiao Manman woke up to find everyone gone. She took out her watch and saw it was already 9:30.
I rubbed my hair, washed up, and ate. After filling my stomach, I took out a few packets of dried persimmons from my storage space and gave them to my sister-in-law who had come to help me yesterday as a token of my gratitude.
"Little Lu's wife, you're too kind. Our men are like brothers, and you and I are like sisters. It's just cooking a meal; there's no need to be so polite!"
Despite saying that, I was actually quite happy. Qiao Manman was polite, generous, and easy to get along with.
After several refusals, he accepted the dried persimmons, saying, "My son made a fuss last night, saying your fruit is delicious and asking me to trade some with you. Now he's in for a treat!"
Qiao Manman smiled and said, "When autumn comes, we'll go up the mountain to pick persimmons and then come back to dry them together."
"Great! I'll have to ask you for advice then. How do you dry persimmons until they're soft and tender?"
Qiao Manman nodded and headed to the next shop. By the time she finished, it was almost noon.
I ate a quick bite, then read a book while basking in the sun. When I got tired, I rested for a while, then woke up to research scar removal creams.
After a busy day, I had no idea that I had become famous in the team.
Everyone says she's generous, always serving the best dishes when she treats people. She also has a good temper; when dealing with unruly children, she remains calm and patient, gently guiding them along.
"When do you think I'll be able to marry a wife like your sister-in-law?"
"Your sister-in-law is one of a kind, so stop dreaming! Instead, think about how to complete your mission and earn military merit!"
Brigade Commander He called Lu Yuan into his office and specifically praised Qiao Manman: "You've made a good choice in marrying your wife!"
Lu Yuan's lips curled up: "Of course!"
The two chatted about business for a while, then Lu Yuan said, "Boss, my wife has a prescription..."
With the previous frostbite cream as a starting point, Brigade Commander He wasn't too opposed. However...
Are you sure you can have twins?
"Yes, leader. In Yang County, many infertile couples have taken my wife's fertility pills, and without exception, they have all become pregnant."
I was thinking that some people in our team... if they could take the fertility pills, it would fulfill their dream of becoming fathers.
Moreover, these fertility pills are made from precious medicinal herbs and have the function of regulating the body. Perhaps taking a few more pills will even cure the team members' hidden ailments.”
Brigade Commander He: "......"
"At first it seemed okay, but the more I listened, the more outrageous it became. Are you sure your wife isn't a charlatan trying to scam money and sex?"
Lu Yuan laughed awkwardly, "How could that be! My wife doesn't have any over-the-counter medicine. You can try it on any couple and you'll know if it's real or not. You'll be able to tell whether it's reliable or not!"
Brigade Commander He nodded: "You're right! But I still need to think about this matter!"
“Of course!” Lu Yuan didn’t press the matter and prepared to leave.
But Commander He stopped her: "You emptied your coffers yesterday, your wife must be starving! Here, take it. Don't let the young lady go hungry!"
Lu Yuan looked at the large sum of money in the other person's hand, smiled and shook his head: "Boss, you know I've been saving my allowance, I'm not short of money."
As for meat, we'll hunt a couple of rabbits up the mountain when the weather gets warmer, and then we'll have everything we need.
"Alright, it's good that you have a plan!"
Lu Yuan left to continue working. Unbeknownst to him, a fierce argument erupted in Xujiagou, a thousand miles away.
The reason was that Xu Dahe's third daughter-in-law suddenly started making a fuss, saying she was going to the army to find her husband.
Spring planting is just around the corner, so we can't let the laborers go.
Besides, Xu Xiaotian's position isn't high enough to allow him to accompany the military. What could Qian Xiaoni do there? Would she be a burden to her son, or would she entice Xiaotian to stop sending his allowance home?
"Dad, please let me go! I've been having nightmares these past few days, dreaming that something happened to Xiaotian!"
"I'll beat you to death, you worthless wretch, how dare you curse my son!"
"Ah, no! Father, don't hit me. Mother, I'm not lying. Eldest brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, come and pull Father and Mother away!"
Qian Xiaoni screamed until she was hoarse, but no one helped her.
Three-year-old Xiaoshitou was so frightened that he burst into tears, and his cries attracted the attention of the neighbors.
Everyone tried to dissuade him, saying, "It's the New Year, you can't afford to bleed. Besides, if you cripple her, won't your son Xiaotian cause trouble? Who will do the laundry, cook, and farm the land?"
Old Xu snorted coldly: "You got off easy!"
Grandma Xu turned the tables and said, "He's such a troublemaker. My son is in the army; he's contributing to the country."
That little slut can't live without a man! She wants to run off to him, doesn't she even know if she's capable of it?
He was illiterate and had no money, yet he wasn't afraid of being kidnapped!
I just don't understand. Everything was fine before the New Year, so why did she become so unruly during the holiday? Other wives are all well-behaved, but why does she have to cause trouble?!
"Yes, Xiaotian's wife, what are you making such a fuss about during the New Year?"
"I, I..." Qian Xiaoni hugged her son, her eyes flickering, "I dreamt that Xiaotian had an accident, and I wanted to go to the army to find him!"
"Dreams are always the opposite of reality, so don't worry about it!"
"Yes, if Xiaotian has any problems, the military will call. You, a woman, shouldn't go and cause trouble!"
"Yes, yes, I heard train tickets are expensive, and the journey takes several days. Old man and old woman Xu, are you really willing to let go of Qian Xiaoni, this cash cow?"
"Speaking of which, Xiaotian is clearly the most promising child, so why does the Xu family dislike him? Could it be that Xu Xiaotian isn't their biological son?"
"What nonsense are you spouting! Everyone saw when Grandma Xu was pregnant! Maybe it's because Xiao Tian is rarely home, so their relationship isn't as close as the eldest and second eldest sons'!"
