Chapter 343 It doesn't matter, I'm the one who wins in the end anyway!
Qiao Manman chuckled, feeling rather embarrassed.
After saying goodbye, I went to a state-run restaurant and packed some steamed buns and vegetables to go, then waited to leave that evening.
After observing her for a day, Dahuang followed her around like a spirit, refusing to leave her side for even a moment.
Qiao Manman stroked its head to comfort it: "Good boy, stay home and protect your little brother. I'll be back in a while!"
"Waaah~~~" Big Yellow whimpered and shook its head, its eyes filled with tears.
Qiao Manman felt a pang of sadness, and even Qiao Runming felt a little sorry for her.
I suggested to her, "Why don't you take it with you?"
Qiao Manman turned to Xia Zhao and asked, "Are dogs allowed on the train?"
The key point is, she's planning to do something bad, so she can't exactly corrupt the dog!
Xia Zhao nodded: "It really is!"
Qiao Manman recalled the neighbor's chicken and the old man's goose when she came back, and laughed awkwardly: "Next time, next time I'll take you back to Northeast China!"
Da Huang looked at Qiao Manman suspiciously, pondering the truth of her words.
Qiao Manman glared at it: "What, are you afraid I'll lie to you?"
"You're so big, how can you be so petty! We've known each other for so long, when have I ever lied to you?"
Big Yellow shuddered and wagged its tail to please Qiao Manman.
Qiao Manman snorted coldly: "I'll bring you something delicious when I get back!"
Big Yellow grinned, and Qiao Manman saw a fawning smile on its furry face.
Qiao Manman glanced at Xiao Hua, and the little one immediately turned around and laid a double-yolk egg.
The egg rolled a few times on the ground before Xiao Hua turned her head and saw Qiao Manman trying to suppress a laugh. She flapped her wings and perched on Xia Zhao's head.
Qiao Manman couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter, clutching her stomach.
Xia Zhao held Xiao Hua's paws, on the verge of tears, but as evening approached, she was the one who was most reluctant to leave.
Qiao Manman looked at her tightly pursed lips and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, we'll be back in a few days!"
Xia Zhao nodded, gazing at the fleeting scenery outside the window, not understanding what Qiao Manman was trying to do.
During the day, she took a break to call Commander He, who only told her to follow Qiao Manman's instructions and ensure her safety.
Xia Zhaoying said "yes," showing much more caution towards this journey.
Then Qiao Manman took out a few green peaches from her pocket and said proudly, "Try them, they're delicious!"
Xia Zhao didn't think much of it, took a bite, and found that the peach was crisp and sweet, unlike the sour and astringent ones picked in the mountains.
"Sister-in-law, this..."
Qiao Manman raised her index finger to her lips: "Shh!"
He gestured for her not to ask.
Xia Zhao assumed it was obtained through connections in the black market, chuckled, and finished the rest of the meal without asking a single question he shouldn't have.
Qiao Manman thought to herself, "This girl is quite perceptive." After quickly finishing the peach and lying down on her bunk, she realized she had forgotten to tell Lu Yuan.
He quickly wrote a note using his mind, then wrapped the note and medicine in a teleportation talisman and sent it over.
Lu Yuan noticed an extra bottle in his pocket. Without thinking twice, he took it out and sprinkled the powder on Chen Junyan's arm.
He also said, "What are you showing off for? You think you're so great? Everyone else is fine, but you hurt your arm. You're really something!"
Chen Junyan's face was pale, but a faint smile appeared on his lips as he looked at Lu Yuan with unwavering determination: "You can't die!"
Lu Yuan paused, then used a gray bandage to wrap the wound, warning, "Don't block my way next time!"
Chen Junyan gazed at the setting sun in the west: "I'm the regimental commander, you have to listen to me!"
Lu Yuan said through gritted teeth, "You're amazing!"
Chen Junyan said smugly, "So, from now on, when we go on missions, you'll stay behind me. We'll talk about other things when you've outmaneuvered me!"
Lu Yuan was furious and slapped his wound: "Get lost!"
He left, found a secluded corner, and took out a note from his pocket.
Looking at the words above, a myriad of emotions welled up inside me.
Finally, she felt relieved: "It doesn't matter, I'm the one who wins in the end anyway!"
Qiao Manman was unaware of the situation here. She lay down on the bunk and fell asleep soon after.
The rumbling sound, combined with the swaying rhythm, is the best lullaby.
I sat there for days and nights and somehow ended up in Guangdong and Guangxi.
Before even getting off the bus, Qiao Manman was scorched by the heat inside, and she felt a little short of breath.
He took out the Frost Jade from his spatial storage, and the surrounding air instantly cooled down by several degrees.
Qiao Manman put the Frost Jade in her pocket and left the train station with Xia Zhaoxiang, finding a guesthouse to stay in.
After resting for a night, the two took out their letters of introduction and went to the medicinal herb market to purchase Chinese herbs.
Xia Zhao then realized that Comrade Xiao Qiao was truly capable of great things, quietly carrying ten thousand yuan on her person. She had no idea where she had hidden it!
The two spent 3,300 yuan on this purchase. After carefully checking the quality of all the medicinal herbs, Qiao Manman had them taken to the post office.
It cost over a hundred yuan to send it to the military region.
He even called Brigade Commander He: "Sir, after the goods arrive, have my grandfather inspect them one by one. If there's any problem, we'll investigate immediately, get to the bottom of it, and hold the person responsible accountable!"
These words were meant for the staff at the post office and the medicinal herb market. A group of people felt uneasy, thinking how fortunate they were not to have any ill intentions.
Things are done, time to go for a stroll.
In early summer, Guangdong and Guangxi are rich in resources, and tall lychee and bayberry trees can be seen everywhere.
Qiao Manman, with her deep pockets, bought five catties of lychees and strolled around the city with Xia Zhao while eating them.
Passing by a department store, the two went inside to broaden their horizons.
Qiao Manman pointed to the dress on the wall: "Zhao Zhao, look, that dress is so pretty, do you want to try it on?"
Xia Zhao's cheeks flushed: "I'm usually very rough around the edges, I can't wear such expensive clothes."
A dress costs twenty-five yuan? Good heavens! She'd rather wear her old military uniform from years ago.
Qiao Manman held the dress up against her and, seeing that it was the right size, bought it immediately.
"Sister-in-law, you don't need to buy it for me..."
"Shut up!" Qiao Manman was very domineering. She not only bought the dress, but also two other summer outfits.
A cream-white puff-sleeved shirt paired with slim-fitting black trousers, and an embroidered dress, both in my size.
Qiao Manman touched the flowers on the garment and, after hearing from the salesperson that they were embroidered stitch by stitch by skilled craftsmen, decided to buy it without haggling.
Back at the guesthouse, Xia Zhao said apologetically, "Sister-in-law, I'll pay you back for the clothes when we get back!"
Qiao Manman smiled and said, "It's not much, just a few fertility pills and it'll be fine. Thank you for taking care of me during this time!"
Zhao Zhao, although we're more comfortable in pants, who knows when we might need to wear skirts? It's good that you get used to it in advance.
Oh, and high heels too. I should buy a pair and practice sometime. Just in case I need to attend a dinner party someday, so my stiff movements won't give me away.
"Ah, is that really necessary?" Xia Zhao was bewildered, unable to imagine the scene.
Qiao Manman didn't say much, but asked her to change into a dress so she could see. Xia Zhao couldn't resist the urging and actually changed into a dress.
Although her skin was a bit dark, her arms and legs were really long.
Slim yet strong, Qiao Manman thought that if she were a man, she would definitely like him terribly.
