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

Chapter 558 With me here, I guarantee your health will improve to a whole new level!

"No, Lu Yuan and I still want to attend the wedding. We're like brothers, we've been through thick and thin together. Lu Yuan and I are like family to you two."

My maternal grandparents, my mother-in-law, and my uncles were all witnesses to your relationship.

I would be heartbroken if I knew you two were being so perfunctory.

Of course, I'm not forcing you two to have a big celebration; I just don't want you to have any regrets on your big day.

A tear welled up in Xia Zhao's eyes: "Sister-in-law, thank you!"

"Hey, why are you crying? We're sisters! Come on in, I'll get you something nice to eat!"

Xia Zhao nodded and helped her into the house. Lu Yuan pulled Ji Ming aside: "The house application has been approved?"

"Not yet, the logistics department said it will take several months."

I thought that having a wedding would make it easier for the two of us to see each other. It would also prevent people from gossiping about her.

Lu Yuan nodded: "I'll look into the situation later and see if I can help you urge them."

"Thank you, Commander!"

Lu Yuan patted his arm: "Let's go, let's go inside!"

As soon as the curtain was lifted, the two girls were already eating.

Peanuts, melon seeds, fruit candy, apples, oranges, mung bean cakes.

While eating, Qiao Manman asked, "Were those skincare products I gave you ineffective?"

Xia Zhao nodded: "It's good to be a little dark-skinned, just like everyone else. If I were fair-skinned, I'd be attacked by crickets."

"Did you drink the tonic?"

"I drank it, and now I don't feel any pain anymore."

They train with inexhaustible energy every day, and their overall abilities have improved comprehensively.

At this point, Xia Zhao frowned: "They said that I wouldn't be able to focus on training after getting married, and that I should prepare to change careers."

"There's marriage leave for marriage, and maternity leave and breastfeeding leave for pregnancy. What's there to be afraid of? We'll talk about it when we really can't take it anymore."

Don't worry about not being able to recover after childbirth. With me here, I guarantee your health will reach new heights.

Xia Zhao breathed a sigh of relief: "I trust my sister-in-law!"

"Mmm, good girl!"

Qiao Manman touched her little face and, like an old lecher, lightly rubbed her fingers: "Although her skin is a bit dark, it's so tender it could drip water."

"You're so young!"

Xia Zhao rolled her eyes: "You talk like you're so world-weary, but you're actually younger than me!"

Qiao Manman patted her chest: "What, is it wrong for me to have a mature mindset!"

"Fine, fine, you're the authority!"

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Qiao Manman reluctantly returned to the research institute.

"Lu Yuan, remember to think of me!"

Lu Yuan lightly pecked her lips: "Aren't you planning to come home and find me tonight?"

"Drawing talismans is very tiring, and I want to save some for a crucial moment. Besides, Grandpa has already told me that I can't be reckless in late pregnancy!"

Lu Yuan kissed her forehead regretfully: "It's okay, you'll be unloading soon."

"It's only after the baby is unloaded that things get complicated. Every day when I open my eyes, I have to feed the baby. All I do is eat and poop, or cry loudly."

Anyone with a weaker mental fortitude would break down.

It's no wonder that many women suffer from postpartum depression; the absence of the father makes childbirth a woman's individual responsibility.

They sacrifice themselves, sacrifice their futures, and are still looked down upon by men for being unambitious. Ah, just thinking about it is suffocating.

Lu Yuan gently touched her brow: "You are different from them, don't be anxious."

My mom will be here in a couple of days. With her help, taking care of the baby will be easier.

Besides, I will follow my father's example and take care of everything, from washing diapers and feeding babies to cooking.

Not only do they participate in family education, but they also set a good example for other men. They strive to improve the prevailing atmosphere in the residential compound where men tend to shirk their responsibilities.

Qiao Manman gave a thumbs up: "Not bad, not bad, you've got the awareness!"

However, before Xie Susu could return to take care of her, Qiao Runming brought the twins, He Nian, and Ma Qiuhua to the military base!
