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

Chapter 552 If you go crazy again, get out of here!

"On the fifteenth of August, the moon is obscured by clouds; on the fifteenth of January, snow falls on the lanterns."

Qiao Manman murmured to herself, and then it actually started to snow lightly.

Li Dai leaned closer to her: "Sister-in-law, do you want to go outside and take a look?"

Qiao Manman shook her head: "It's cold outside, so I won't join in the fun. Why don't we have a lantern festival around here?"

“There are lantern festivals in the city, but here in this remote mountain area, even if we hold one, nobody will come to see it.”

"Life is more convenient where there are factories."

Lu Yuan ruffled her hair: "There aren't any outside, so we'll make our own. I'll go find some paper and make you a simple lantern, okay?"

Qiao Manman grabbed his hand: "Don't make it so complicated. I bought some oranges, so let's peel them and make a little orange lamp!"

Lu Yuan immediately understood what she meant. He went back into the house and rummaged through her canvas bag, taking out apples, oranges, and a lunchbox.

“There are two oranges, I can make one for Comrade Li too!” He Jingcheng took the oranges and smiled as he showed off to Li Dai.

Li Dai gave him a reproachful look: "Do your job well before you show off."

He Jingcheng patted his chest: "Do you think I'm worse than Lu Yuan?"

Lu Yuan glanced at him but didn't say anything. He skillfully rubbed the orange peel, cut off the top with a knife, and scooped out the pulp with a spoon.

He Jingcheng had never handled these gadgets before, and with a single reach, he pried a hole in the orange peel.

Li Dai laughed at him: "You're dumbfounded now!"

"Huh!" I was genuinely dumbfounded.

He Jingcheng put down the orange, touched his nose, and said, "I admit defeat!"

"Alright, even without the little orange lamp, we can still eat oranges, that's good!"

Li Dai broke off two segments and put them in her mouth. After taking a bite, her eyes lit up: "My goodness, how can this orange be so sweet? Sister-in-law, where did you buy it?"

"I don't know, I asked someone to buy them, and there were only two of them!"

He opened his lunchbox and said, "Hey, this is exciting, want to try some?"

"What's that smell? It tastes like spoiled food, niece, you..."

Wow, durian!

Sister-in-law, where did you buy this? I thought I'd never get to eat this again in my life!

Back when I was in Guangdong, I happened to eat an imported dish and was blown away!

Haha, I knew I made the right choice!

He patted He Jingcheng on the shoulder and said, "Old He, when are we going to get our marriage certificate?"

"Huh?" He Jingcheng looked up, puzzled. "Tell me!"

"How about tomorrow?"

Qiao Manman interrupted, "Why don't you two give it another try? Just in case something doesn't work out..."

"No, no, with you here, everything is just right!"

"Am I that important?" Qiao Manman joked, "Why don't you just marry me!"

"If Commander Lu doesn't mind, it's not impossible!"

Li Dai glanced at Lu Yuan: "Our country practices monogamy. You are the husband, and I am the wife. Is that alright, Commander Lu?"

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes: "If you go crazy again, get out of here!"

"Okay, okay, I'll shut up!"

Li Dai made a zipping motion and complained to Xie Susu, "Aunt Xie, look at him, he actually wants to kick me, his aunt, out!"

Xie Susu laughed and said, "Don't mind him. He's just a blockhead who doesn't understand romance. Only Manman would be interested in him!"

Qiao Manman pulled Lu Yuan into her arms, their heads touching: "That's right, this piece of wood is mine, don't even think about it."

"Hey, there's that old tree bark over there, why don't you spend some time with him?"

He Jingcheng looked hurt: "Li Dai, are you really trying to ruin my niece's family by being with me?"
