Refusing to marry a widower, I went on a crazy spree of sending my children to the army.

Chapter 588 They're ignorant, ungrateful little devils, but I'm different!

Qiao Manman laughed heartily: "Even without Lu Yuan, I still have face!"

The woman paused for a moment, then said, "Ah, haha, it seems so. You're different from us; you're a researcher!"

Qiao Manman waved her hand and went to wander off to other places.

As we walked, we arrived at the Chinese herbal medicine planting base.

Most of the women in the residential compound were tilling the land here. They were all working enthusiastically and didn't seem tired at all.

Upon seeing Qiao Manman arrive, he excitedly grabbed her hand and said, "Little Lu's wife, come here quickly, look at this, isn't it a newly sprouted medicinal herb seedling?"

Qiao Manman nodded: "Yes, sister-in-law, you guys are amazing!"

"Really? I thought it was too cold in Northeast China for them to grow. I didn't expect them to be so resilient!"

"This shows that our local climate is right up to its growth characteristics."

The seedlings are growing so well; perhaps they'll be ready for harvest in the fall.

"When the time comes, tell Brigade Commander He to give everyone bonuses!"

Upon hearing that there was money to be made, everyone put in their best effort, swinging their hoes with great enthusiasm and excitement.

"Little Lu's wife, why aren't you holding the baby? I've missed the little guy a bit since I last saw him."

"It's windy outside, I'm afraid they won't be able to stand it."

"That's true, the weather here warms up slowly, so let's wait a while before taking it out for a walk!"

This year, there have been quite a few happy events in the family compound.

That girl from before, she couldn't have children, but she just had two sons around the Lunar New Year.

Li Meilan was rather unlucky; she had two daughters, and she still had to keep trying.

Xiao Lu's wife is lucky; she has a son and a daughter.

In the future, if I want to have another child, I can; if I don't, it doesn't matter. I have a son to rely on, and my life is complete!

Qiao Manman hesitated for a moment, then finally gave an awkward laugh: "My Lu Yuan likes girls!"

"Huh? No way! What man doesn't like boys!"

Qiao Manman was too lazy to complain: "It's getting late, I need to go home to breastfeed, you guys are busy!"

"Yes, yes, the baby gets hungry quickly. Little Lu's wife, hurry back, don't let the child go hungry!"

Qiao Manman nodded and turned to walk home.

After being away for a few hours, the twins missed her and cried loudly at home.

No matter how Xie Susu tried to coax him, she couldn't, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

The big yellow dog wagged its tail to tease the little children, but they wouldn't listen; all they wanted was to find their mother.

As soon as Qiao Manman arrived at the family compound, she heard the system say, "Host, your son and daughter are calling you."

"Hurry, hurry, or your little voice will become hoarse from crying!"

Qiao Manman panicked when she heard this and ran home.

The moment the door opened, I was met with the twins' red and swollen eyes, and my heart ached terribly.

"Qiqi, Xiubao, Mommy's back! Come here, let me hug you, don't cry, don't cry, be good!"

The twins were heartbroken at the familiar scent. They snuggled into Qiao Manman's arms and found a comfortable spot to fall asleep.

Xie Susu said jealously, "I, as your grandmother, have taken care of you all for so long without ever taking off my clothes, and it's not even as sweet as a mother's smile. Oh dear, I'm so sad!"

Qiao Manman put the twins on the bed and hugged Xie Susu's arm, acting coquettishly: "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, they are so naughty, such ungrateful little devils."

I'm different. I'm grateful and remember where I came from. Thank you, Mom!

Xie Susu was so charmed by her that her bones melted. Her face only held firm for two seconds before she burst out laughing.

"You should really show Lu Yuan how fawning you are. Who knows, I might be able to hold two more grandsons next year!"

Qiao Manman's smile froze on her face: "Mom, are you serious?"
