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

Chapter 179 I guess I've climbed the social ladder!

Qiao Manman pulled Lu Yuan's large hand out from under her clothes, panting, and said, "You, that's enough!"

Lu Yuan nestled on her shoulder, gently biting through her clothes: "I don't want to stop at all!"

Qiao Manman chuckled and pushed his head away, saying, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, so strenuous exercise isn't suitable for you."

Lu Yuan sighed, took Qiao Manman's hand, and said seriously, "Even if I am healthy and not married, you absolutely cannot grant my wish."

These things are different for men and women. If I change my mind, you'll be the one who suffers!

Qiao Manman raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean? Are you planning to eat it and then deny it?"

"No, I just want to tell you that even when facing me, you can't let your guard down."

Lu Yuan cupped Qiao Manman's face in his hands: "Wife, I know you have secrets. Don't think that just because we're dating, you have to be completely honest with me."

A secret is a secret precisely because it cannot be widely publicized. If you can keep it to yourself, then keep it; if you can't, I will keep my mouth shut too!

Qiao Manman hummed in agreement, tiptoed, and kissed him on the lips.

Q: "How long will you be gone this time? You're not going to disappear for several months again, are you?"

Lu Yuan couldn't guarantee it: "I'll be back as soon as possible!"

After the two separated, Qiao Manman asked Lu Yuan to take off his shirt, unwrap the gauze, and apply burn ointment to his burns.

Then she drew back the curtains, took a cup to get hot water, and sprinkled some Rejuvenation Pill powder into it.

Seeing Lu Yuan tidying up the room, Qiao Manman went to help. She discovered many manuscripts on the writing desk, all related to mechanical design.

"I haven't asked you yet, how did you come up with the idea to improve the production equipment?"

Lu Yuan chuckled and said, "My mother works at the Kyoto Machinery Factory. I grew up playing with her at the factory and was influenced by her around the place."

Qiao Manman asked curiously, "What about your father and grandfather? How many people are left in your family?"

“My father and grandfather both work in the military region, my aunt works in a military hospital, my other aunt works in a cultural troupe, and my uncle and several cousins ​​are all in the military.”

"A military family? I guess I've climbed the social ladder!" Qiao Manman joked to herself.

In those days, social classes were not rigid, and ordinary people could still find talented, capable, and well-connected individuals among the educated youth sent to the countryside, college students, and soldiers.

Moreover, she transmigrated into a novel's world. How could Meng Peiyu's fiancé from her previous life be a simple person?

In other articles, he'd definitely be the male lead.

"No, it's me who's not good enough for you!" Lu Yuan said modestly. "My family is very easy to get along with, and they've been looking forward to me bringing my girlfriend home."

"Didn't I introduce you to anyone?"

Lu Yuan paused for a moment, then admitted frankly, "I was introduced to them, but I didn't go. They were also reluctant to go, so nothing came of it in the end."

Qiao Manman's eyes darted around: "That girl, is she married?"

"I'm getting married. I'm marrying a regimental commander." After thinking for a moment, she added, "He's in the same unit as me. If you go with him to the military, you'll run into him."

Wow, it's confirmed! After her rebirth, Meng Peiyu is too lazy to even go on blind dates. It shows how deep the heartbreak she suffered in her past life was!

Without continuing the topic, Qiao Manman noticed it was getting late and got up to go to the cafeteria for food.

"Drink that glass of water on the table!"

I came back half an hour later, ate something casually with Lu Yuan, and then lay down on the bed to rest.

These past few days, caring for patients has left her on edge and exhausted. She falls asleep almost instantly upon hitting the bed.

A pang of heartache flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes. He tucked the blanket around her, sat down at his desk, and wrote down the marriage report.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was evening. Qiao Manman prepared to go to the station, but Lu Yuan was reluctant to let her go and insisted on seeing her off.

Qiao Manman comforted him, "It's not like we've separated and never seen each other again. Why don't you hurry up and propose?"

Lu Yuan chuckled: "Okay, I'll come find you when I'm done!"

But in the end, I still went to the station to see Qiao Manman off.

Fearing something might happen, Meng Taining followed along. He even said, "Little Qiao, why are you in such a hurry? Wouldn't it be better to stay at the factory for a few more days?"

Qiao Manman talked nonsense: "Comrade Lu and I are not married, so it's not convenient for us to get too close. It was fine when the situation was critical a couple of days ago, but now it's time to keep our distance."

Meng Taining coughed lightly, thinking to himself, "You two have been locked in your room all day, who knows if anything happened?"

However, he was sensible and didn't intend to point it out.

Qiao Manman took out a small box of tea from her canvas bag: "Director Meng, thank you for taking care of me during this time. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

Meng Taining accepted it with a smile: "Comrade Qiao, you're too kind."

The two waited with Qiao Manman for more than half an hour until the train arrived at the station.

Lu Yuan reluctantly saw her off to her car: "Take care on the road."

Qiao Manman nodded and waved to him through the car window: "Go back, remember to apply the medicine!"

Lu Yuan's eyes were a little red. He didn't leave until the train had driven far away and Qiao Manman was no longer in sight. He kept turning back to look at her as he left.

Meng Taining couldn't help but ask, "Engineer Lu, did you and Comrade Xiao Qiao know each other before?"

Lu Yuan answered irrelevantly: "She is my fiancée!"

"Oh, I see." Meng Taining automatically imagined the two of them as childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little.

They went back to the machinery factory together. Lu Yuan lay on the bed, smelling the scent left by Qiao Manman, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

I finally managed to fall asleep the next morning. I had barely dozed off when Wei Hanpeng came over.

"Boss, the tickets are bought. They called and told us to leave as soon as possible!"

Lu Yuan nodded and said goodbye to Meng Taining.

Meng Taining held his arm, reluctant to return him to the army.

"Hey Lu, have you ever thought about changing careers? Our factory has a good working environment and high wages, you should consider it!"

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, thanking Director Meng for taking care of him during this time.

Lu Yifeng interrupted, "Director Meng, why don't you say that to me? Is it because you think the toilets I cleaned weren't clean enough?"

Meng Taining's lips twitched: "Comrade Lu, why didn't you reveal your identity from the beginning? That way, I could have arranged a good job for you!"

At least, I can go into the cafeteria and use a ladle.

Lu Yifeng awkwardly touched his nose: "It's for the mission, isn't it?"

"When I can no longer run, I'll come and retire here with you. Director Meng, you'd better be lenient then!"

Meng Taining laughed awkwardly: "Of course!"

He then turned his gaze to Bai Jiafu: "Take good care of Comrade Lu and Comrade Lu on the way. Don't worry about the cost; the factory will reimburse everything. Make sure they get back to their post safely."

"Understood, Factory Manager, don't worry." Bai Jiafu patted his chest, looking confident.

Meng Taining thought he was naive: "Alright, get in the car, so that you two won't get jostled when it gets crowded."

Lu Yuan had a back injury that made it difficult for him to move heavy objects, so Meng Taining personally carried the wheelchair up to him.

Lu Yifeng was half-carried and half-embraced by Bai Jiafu as he jumped onto the train. Seeing that he had difficulty moving, the train attendant came over to help and escorted him to the sleeper car.

Meng Taining was still worried, so after settling everyone in, he sat for a while longer. When he heard on the radio that the car was about to leave, he hurriedly got off.

He waved and said, "Comrade Lu, Comrade Lu, come back and visit when you have time!"
