Chapter 295 You told the Iron Girls not to rush, they dug tunnels, built ditches, and dared to ventu
Huo Wangshu was very satisfied with Qiao Manman's answer and said with a smile, "Then you go ahead with your work, I'll go check on Commander He's situation!"
Qiao Manman saw the other person out, and only returned to her seat after the person was out of sight.
He took out a peach from his spatial storage and, while munching on it, issued orders: "Everyone, help me amplify the audio signal at the entrance of the research institute!"
Wow, I haven't had this much fun in ages! So exciting!
"Alright, host!" As soon as the system finished speaking, Qiao Manman immediately heard Commander He sighing.
It was very slight; if it weren't for the powerful function of the system, it would be almost inaudible.
Qiao Manman thought to herself, "The pressure isn't enough, otherwise I would have made my move long ago."
Five minutes later, Huo Wangshu arrived at the door and greeted Commander He with a smile: "What brings such a busy man like you here?"
Brigade Commander He reached out and shook hands with him: "Long time no see, Dean Huo. How is my Manman doing at the research institute? Why haven't I seen her come out?"
"Oh, Commander He, something doesn't seem right. What do you mean by 'your Manman'? It's clearly my Manman. Commander He, don't make baseless accusations!"
Brigade Commander He angrily retorted, "You dare say she's not our Deputy Regiment Commander Lu's wife?"
"So what if she is? She's still a researcher at our institute, under contract!"
Huo Wangshu wasn't afraid at all. He looked at Commander He with a smile, which had a rather provocative tone: "Moreover, national affairs are more important than family affairs. Qiao Manman should stay here and make a difference rather than being a good wife and mother!"
Commander He could hardly disagree with this, but he was here on official business: "Dean Huo, there's no need to flatter me. I'm here because I have important matters to discuss with Manman!"
"What's the important matter? Tell me!"
"I'm afraid it's inconvenient!"
"What's inconvenient about it? We know why Comrade Xiao Qiao came to the research institute. The military wives in the family compound ganged up on her, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet!"
"I've already handled this matter and obtained Deputy Regiment Commander Lu's understanding. Now that you know Comrade Qiao's capabilities, you should know how many people are waiting for Comrade Qiao to make a move!"
Huo Wangshu didn't take it seriously: "It's not like it's the first day we can't give birth, what's wrong with waiting! Scientific research in our country is progressing by leaps and bounds, every second wasted is a huge loss. Commander He, you should go back!"
Brigade Commander He clenched his fists and closed his eyes: "Tell her to take care of herself. Whenever she wants to go back, let the unit know, and I'll have Lu Yuan come and pick her up!"
Huo Wangshu waved his hand: "Brigade Commander He, take care!"
Hearing this, Qiao Manman felt quite uncomfortable. For her own selfish reasons, she deliberately hid at the research institute and refused to see anyone. It was truly despicable.
The system comforted her: "It's alright, host. Make some more fertility pills in the space tonight, and give them to Commander He to make up for it!"
Qiao Manman hummed in agreement, wiped her hands with a damp towel, and continued working.
As for the peach pits, she had already thrown them into the spatial land. If they sprouted, she could harvest another peach tree; if not, she could use them as fertilizer.
Brigade Commander He returned to his office and called the 38th Drilling Team: "Director Yao, I asked around, and Comrade Xiao Qiao has agreed."
She's been too busy to make fertility pills lately, but she'll make some for you herself when she's free in a couple of days.
Tell the Iron Girls not to worry. They dug tunnels and built ditches, persevering and fearless. We will never forget their great contributions to the motherland.
We will try our best to allocate some fertility pills to improve their physical condition, so that they can marry and have children without any worries.
"Yes, yes, thank you very much, Commander He! If these girls hadn't suffered such heavy losses, we wouldn't have dared to bother you. We will forever remember your and Comrade Xiao Qiao's help."
"No need, no need, you're too kind!"
The moment the call ended, Commander He felt a tightness in his chest.
The term "Iron Girl" sounds like a compliment, but in reality, it's just a pretext to promote women's participation in male-dominated heavy industries and physically demanding jobs due to labor shortages and gender imbalances. This is then used to glorify women and make them role models.
During this special period, the "Iron Girls" indeed earned honor and respect through their daring and enterprising spirit. However, the excessive workload also left permanent scars on their bodies.
Therefore, Commander He truly couldn't bear to refuse. Of course, he dared to agree because Lu Yuan had frequently mentioned selling the product abroad.
Since we're going to sell anyway, selling to the Iron Girl would be more valuable.
After finally getting off work, Brigade Commander He straightened his clothes and headed home. As soon as he stepped out of the office building, he was surrounded by a group of people: "Brigade Commander, when will we get fertility pills?"
"Just a moment, just a moment, it's being done, please wait a bit."
After finally managing to appease his subordinates who were desperately seeking a son, he returned home only to be "kidnapped" by his extended family: "His uncle (nephew)..."
Brigade Commander He took two steps back, his limbs stiff, his face pleading for mercy.
However, I still heard the question: "Do you have fertility pills?"
No, really no. The person who knew how to make fertility pills went to the research institute; he couldn't do anything about it.
Wait a minute, isn't Qiao Manman's grandfather, Qiao Lingyue, a descendant of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners? Is it possible that he also makes fertility pills?
Commander He raised his hand and slapped his forehead; the scene fell silent. His wife rushed over, asking, "What happened?"
"I just remembered I had some work to finish and needed to work overtime. Anyway, I'm going back to the military base."
"Ah good!"
"Uncle, we're not done talking yet, give me a straight answer! We're all close relatives, don't..."
The more they shouted inside, the faster Commander He slipped away. That evening, he called his orderly and they drove to the Sujiagou production team.

Meng Peiyu slept until evening before getting up feeling refreshed.
She went outside and saw no one was home, but she didn't mind. She went to the bathroom to wash up, took out a bowl of instant noodles from her spatial storage, and prepared to make some.
As soon as I entered the kitchen, I caught sight of a familiar basket: "System, is this the basket I delivered to the Lu family?"
"Host, the system doesn't know. But aren't all baskets like this? Is this one special?"
Meng Peiyu thought about it and realized that these days, baskets are all pretty much the same. If you put a few in front of her, she wouldn't be able to tell which one was hers.
I picked up the thermos, poured water into the instant noodles, and while waiting, I tore off a braised chicken leg and a sausage.
The aroma instantly filled my nostrils, and my stomach, which hadn't eaten for a day and a night, started to rumble.
Meng Peiyu couldn't wait to take out her spoon and start eating heartily.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, he left a note for his family: "Something needs to be taken care of, I won't be home tonight!"
Then he swaggered out of the family compound and went to try his luck at Dou Yifan's lover's place.
They returned empty-handed, and everyone had fled.
After finally getting through the night, Meng Peiyu went to the black market.
