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

Chapter 314 is finished. Time to wash the sheets and duvet covers again!

"It's not poisonous, you really won't eat it?" Qiao Manman teased.

"The hospital rules state that we cannot eat outside food while on duty!"

Qiao Manman shook her head: "Tsk tsk, so pitiful. But it's okay, I'll leave the steamed buns with Dean Huo. Remember to pick them up when you change shifts!"

The young soldier beamed, "Thank you so much, Researcher Qiao!"

Qiao Manman pushed the car to the parking shed, locked it, and carried the basket upstairs.

When you meet someone you know, greet them and take a strawberry out of your basket: "These are from my relative's garden, want to try some?"

"Really? Thank you, Researcher Qiao!" The strawberries were bright red, and you could smell their fragrance from a distance; they were clearly carefully tended.

Qiao Manman didn't care, thinking to herself that she had specifically picked out these small ones.

Even so, it is a rare delicacy in this era.

They kept sending food along the way, and by the time they arrived at the dean's office, only a small half-basket remained.

Qiao Manman put a few apricots in the newspaper, knocked on the office door, and only entered after hearing a "Come in."

"Dean, I'm back. This is from a relative, please try it!"

"No need, no need. This fruit is so rare, you should take it home and eat it yourself!"

Qiao Manman waved her hand: "I've already eaten it, and it tastes pretty good. If you don't want it, you can share it with the other researchers. Everyone works very hard and needs to relax and unwind occasionally."

"Alright, you've put your heart into it."

Qiao Manman smiled and pulled out a few meat buns from her pocket: "I promised to save two for the gatekeeper as a treat, you can arrange the rest as you see fit!"

Huo Wangshu nodded: "Okay!"

Qiao Manman returned to her dormitory after her leave, went to the water room to get some water, drew the curtains, and entered her private space.

Go to the examination room and observe the patient's condition. Once you confirm their breathing is stable, change the dressing as instructed by the system.

The system also reminded you: "Host, you can learn some basic medical skills from the old man, so you won't need to buy medical services from the store!"

Qiao Manman laughed: "My progress can't keep up with your healing speed. Besides, the space is so magical, even if I try my best, I can't match those pills and talismans!"

"Host, you can learn wound bandaging and pill making. Your man is working so hard, there will be many more similar situations in the future. Using points for treatment is not worthwhile."

Qiao Manman humbly accepted the suggestion: "Okay, thank you very much, I will study it when I have time!"

The system was pleased and reminded her to balance work and rest, then fell silent.

After feeding the injured patients their nutritional fluids, Qiao Manman went to wash up.

I quickly tidied myself up and went to the kitchen to cook.

Knowing that Lu Yuan would come, she prepared a lavish feast.

The dishes included braised chicken with mushrooms, steamed eggs with shrimp, wood ear mushrooms and yam, stir-fried water spinach, garlic broccoli, and a plate of shredded pork with garlic sauce, which was the most flavorful of the dishes.

In addition, there was a fruit platter, with red and green colors that looked particularly appetizing.

After finishing her work, it was getting late. Qiao Manman glanced at her watch; it was 8:30 PM.

I kept the food warm in a quiet place and took a pair of scissors to pick flowers in the yard.

Peonies, roses, and freesias, blooming in different seasons, all at the same time.

Qiao Manman snipped a few times with her scissors, picked out the prettiest ones, took them back to the house, put them in a vase, and placed them on the dining table.

I glanced at the time; it was nine o'clock.

I went to the bathroom and threw the sheets and duvet covers that had been soaking for a day and a night into the washing machine to wash them. I also rinsed the tattered cotton sheets and duvet covers with fresh water.

Qiao Manman spent a lot of effort moving the washed cotton to the yard to dry, and just as she returned, she heard the washing machine running.

I took out the bed sheets and duvet cover and hung them on the balcony. I glanced at the time; it was 10:15.

"What's going on? Even if I told him to come later, it shouldn't be this late! Has he run into danger again?"

Qiao Manman didn't dare to think about it, so she went to the laboratory building to do experiments to distract herself.

I was so busy that I forgot to eat. My stomach rumbled several times, but I didn't feel hungry.

When I came to my senses, it was already 1 a.m.

Qiao Manman was startled for a moment and quickly left the space. The dormitory was empty, without a trace of Lu Yuan's presence.

Lying in bed, filled with anxiety, I asked the system, "Is Lu Yuan alright?"

"Don't worry, host, the person is still alive!"

Qiao Manman hummed in agreement and closed her eyes for a short rest.

Perhaps I was tired, I fell asleep without realizing it.

At three in the morning, a flash of white light appeared, and Qiao Manman felt as if she were being restrained by something heavy, making it difficult for her to breathe.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that it was Lu Yuan holding her in his arms.

Qiao Manman thought to herself, "Oh no, I have to wash the sheets and duvet covers again!"

But what he said was, "You're back. Are you hurt?"

The little head was still sniffing around on him, but unfortunately, apart from the smell of sweat, he couldn't smell anything else.

Lu Yuan chuckled and pushed the person away: "I'm fine!"

Qiao Manman didn't believe it and brought the person into the space. The two appeared in the bathroom on the third floor of the villa. Qiao Manman gave him a clean set of underwear and told him to wash up and change.

Lu Yuan said, "Change our comrade's diaper first!"

Qiao Manman didn't mind. As she walked downstairs with him, she asked curiously, "Why are you back so late today?"

"I was on night duty for the first half of the night, and I came over after my shift ended!"

"How long can you stay?"

"One hour!"

Qiao Manman hummed in agreement and told him to go to the examination room, while she took out the food and placed it on the dining table.

A moment later, Lu Yuan came out, took a shower in the bathroom, changed into a pair of shorts and boxer shorts, and came to the dining table.

Qiao Manman could clearly see his bulging muscles, and raised an eyebrow: "Sit down and eat!"

Lu Yuan first praised Qiao Manman for a while before picking up his chopsticks and wolfing down his food.

Qiao Manman also ate a little, but felt she had already passed her hunger and didn't really want to eat.

After washing the dishes, there's not much time left.

Lu Yuan didn't have time to linger with his wife. He quickly put on his dirty clothes and prepared to leave.

Qiao Manman scooped out a spoonful of ointment, applied it to his face, kissed him on the lips, and then sent him out of the space.

Then I changed into my pajamas and continued to rest. Two hours later, I left the space and began a full day of work.

***

After learning that the creatures in the basin were not maggots, Grandma Qiao forced herself to eat one despite feeling nauseous, and was surprised to find that it tasted quite good.

But what he was really saying was, "Empty head, huh? Is a bunch of bugs worth all this oil? Just boil them in water!"

Qiao Kang Kang thought to himself, "If it looks this scary when it's coated in batter and deep-fried, what would it look like if it were boiled in plain water? Wouldn't it make me want to vomit?"

But he didn't speak, because Grandma Qiao ate so fast and ravenously that if he dared to delay, he probably wouldn't even get a scrap.

As Qiao Kangkang ate, he thought to himself, "At least bamboo worms are meat. If there's no more food, I'm afraid I might actually have to catch maggots to eat."

Okay, okay, I feel a bit nauseous. Meng Peiyu leaned against the wall and left the Qiao family's house, still feeling quite nauseous, so much so that she didn't even notice a tail following her.

Although Li Chuncao was evasive yesterday, she gleaned the key point from her words—no one had suddenly become rich, which meant that the treasures of Qingshan Brigade were probably still hidden in the mountains.

Meng Peiyu couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

I randomly chose a small path to go up the mountain, seemingly casually, but actually I was looking for a cave the whole time.
