Chapter 369 The dog took the blame!
Big Yellow gave Qiao Manman a resentful look before walking towards the female dogs. It sniffed and puffed, paused and hesitated, but finally left.
She hid behind Lu Yuan, afraid of being scolded by Qiao Manman.
To everyone's surprise, she just smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that Dahuang is too picky!"
Big Yellow: "..." Since you have even a tiny bit of conscience, I'll take the blame for this!
After visiting her uncle's family, Qiao Manman should return to her family home.
Having not seen everyone for a while, I missed them all, so I said goodbye to Qiao Lixin the next day.
Qiao Lixin sighed: "Really not staying a few more days?"
Qiao Manman chuckled: "I plan to visit my second uncle and aunt first, then I'll go back to my military life with peace of mind!"
"It's been so long since I've been back, I bet everyone misses me. My ears are burning hot every day, you could fry an egg in them!"
Qiao Lixin smiled and patted her head: "Please give your nephew a red envelope for your uncle!"
He opened the drawer, took out two ten-yuan bills from the biscuit box, and tried to wrap them up, but found there was no red paper, so he just tore off a piece of couplet.
Qiao Manman: "...Uncle, you're the wild type! This behavior doesn't match your appearance at all!"
Qiao Lixin said awkwardly, "I saw you were in such a hurry to leave! Um, I'll have Xiao Jiao see you off..."
"No need, no need, we'll just take any bus back to avoid trouble if anyone finds out!"
"What trouble could there be? We can just cover the fuel costs and vehicle depreciation!"
Qiao Manman left with Lu Yuan before the night was over.
Little Flower stood on Big Yellow's head, covering her bottom, thinking that if she didn't leave soon, she would really be caught and stewed with ginseng.
Don't think it didn't see Aunt Liu secretly wiping her mouth, and even encouraged Han Daiyun to stew it for Qiao Yunyi to nourish him.
Those two mischievous kids, too, casually tugged at its tail, saying they wanted to make a shuttlecock.
Its bright fur was plucked off, leaving behind a rather unsightly little chrysanthemum.
Seeing how pitiful it was, Qiao Manman rescued it from the naughty child, fed it some grape and beef jerky as compensation, and also prepared some ointment to apply to its bottom.
I thought to myself that my owner was a good owner, but his relatives weren't very helpful.
Big Yellow also felt like it had escaped a disaster. Although it expressed its attitude in a roundabout way, the thoughts that had surfaced in its mind were not so easily suppressed.
The Qiao family mansion is surrounded by more than a dozen dogs every day. Those who don't know the inside story might think it has done something terrible, like murder or arson.
That's terrifying! Qingshan Brigade in Yang County is much better!
Sitting in the jeep, Qiao Manman felt exhilarated. Leaving the family compound, she smelled the scent of freedom.
Then I felt drowsy.
By the time they arrived in the county, it was already dark. Lu Yuan offered to book a guesthouse for the driver, but the driver politely declined, saying, "Deputy Regiment Commander Lu, please don't trouble yourself. I'll just stay at my father-in-law's house for the night!"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Take this bag of pastries home for your family to try, and get some rest!"
"Alright, see you later, Deputy Regiment Commander Lu!" Driver Xiao Jiao waved and drove away.
After everyone had gone far away, Qiao Manman found a shady spot and led Lu Yuan, Da Huang, and Xiao Hua into the space.
The two men, along with a chicken and a dog, frolicked to their hearts' content until the wee hours of the morning, when they drove to Anqiu County.
The jeep drove very fast, and we arrived at our destination in just two hours.
Unsure of Qiao Mingqian's exact location, he entered the space again, waited until dawn, and then asked the neighbors for directions with his belongings.
"The family that gave birth to twins? Go straight, turn right, then turn left, and it's the third house!"
That family is really amazing. The couple is quite old, yet they can still have children. I heard they have four sons in total, this one!
The man gave a thumbs up, making no attempt to hide his envy.
After thanking her uncle, Qiao Manman arrived at her second uncle's house. Before she could even knock on the door, she heard two loud, clear cries.
Big Yellow barked twice, and the room fell silent for a moment. Qiao Manman took the opportunity to knock on the door, and then heard a clanging sound.
Two minutes later, Qiao Mingqian came over to open the door looking disheveled.
Upon seeing Qiao Manman, his eyes were filled with shock: "Manman, what brings you here?"
"Come see you!" Qiao Manman held up the breakfast in her hand, and Qiao Mingqian quickly stepped aside to welcome her in.
Qiao Manman introduced him: "Second Uncle, this is my husband Lu Yuan, and these are Da Huang and Xiao Hua, a very important member of my family!"
Qiao Mingqian looked at the big yellow flower and the little flower with curiosity: "Hello!"
I don't know what's so special about them, but my niece said we should take them seriously.
Dahuang and Xiaohua presented their gifts, while Lu Yuan, empty-handed, looked somewhat embarrassed.
But it's okay, there's milk powder in the bag, which my wife specially prepared for her cousin, several packs of it.
She took it out and said, "Hello, Second Uncle, this is milk powder that Manman specially bought for my two younger brothers."
As soon as she finished speaking, Dong Shilan came out of the house: "No need, no need. Your mother-in-law also gave birth. Leave it for them. I still have enough breast milk!"
Qiao Manman stepped forward and took Dong Shilan's arm, who had clearly gained weight: "Second Aunt, why are you being so polite with me after not seeing me for several months!"
Dong Shilan raised her hand and gently pinched her nose: "How could that be! I was just worried that your mother had also given birth, and we were afraid we wouldn't have enough formula at home!"
Qiao Manman lowered her voice: "Don't worry, Second Aunt, my mother's milk is fine too!"
Dong Shilan smiled: "Don't just stand here, come inside and see Rui Rui and Cheng Cheng."
Qiao Manman nodded and went inside with Lu Yuan, while Da Huang and Xiao Hua were left outside.
Rui Rui and Cheng Cheng are well-fed; they are fair-skinned and tender, and look very clever.
Qiao Mingqian ate a quick breakfast and went to work, telling Qiao Manman not to rush off and to wait for him to come back at noon so they could have a proper chat.
Qiao Manman waved her hand, indicating that it was not a big problem.
He took out all the southern specialties at once and handed Qiao Mingqian a jar of Longjing tea: "Second Uncle, take this to your office and drink it."
"Okay, I'm leaving!" He didn't stand on ceremony at all.
After he walked away, Qiao Manman took out two letters from her pocket and grinned mischievously, "If Second Uncle knew I had these with me, he would definitely regret leaving so quickly!"
"What?" Dong Shilan asked curiously.
"The letters from my third and fourth brothers are quite thick!"
Dong Shilan's eyes lit up like light bulbs: "Really? Let me see it!"
Qiao Manman handed the letter to the other party and then hid aside to tease the two children.
Seeing that Rui Rui had peed, I changed his diaper with practiced ease.
Dong Shilan glanced at the letter briefly and then put it away.
After washing the diapers before leaving, I asked Qiao Manman, "Is anyone helping your mother during her postpartum period?"
"I asked the aunties in the team for help!" Qiao Manman said casually.
"That's good, at least it'll save you from getting sick from overworking!"
"Where is your second aunt? Is anyone helping her?"
"I also invited someone, but they haven't arrived yet!" The two exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
At noon, Qiao Mingqian returned home and, realizing he had missed his son's letter, paced around in frustration for several minutes.
Dong Shilan comforted him, "It's alright, it's alright. I only glanced at it. Sit down and let's look at it together!"
Qiao Mingqian nodded: "Okay!"
Qiao Manman and Lu Yuan went out to help cook in the kitchen, leaving the two of them plenty of space.
Half an hour later, when they returned to the house, they ate and chatted about the old man, Qiao Zhicheng (the fake Qiao Laosan), and Ding Cuiying (the old lady Qiao).
Qiao Manman took out two red envelopes: "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, these are my parents' red envelopes, and also the red envelopes from my eldest Uncle and Aunt for my two younger brothers..."
