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

Qiao Manman didn't expect Lu Yuan to be so talkative after they officially became a couple. She couldn't hold back and reached out to pinch his lips.

"Alright, alright, I got it. Let's go, it's getting late!"

Lu Yuan helplessly pulled her hands down, gently stroking them between his fingertips: "Remember to miss me!"

Qiao Manman hummed in agreement, watched him walk away, turning back every few steps, and then waved her hand.

It felt like a reluctant farewell, yet the system was whispering in its mind, "Tell me, if I sign in now, will I get any good stuff?"

"Of course, host! If you and Lu Yuan do all that stuff, you'll at least get a special talisman!"

Qiao Manman's eyes lit up: "Sign in for everyone!"

"Yes, host. Congratulations on receiving one cubic meter of supplies, one fertility pill, and..."

"Ahhh, host, you actually signed up for an acre of land!"

Qiao Manman's eyes widened: "Are you sure?"

My God, is Lu Yuan really that useful? I should have taken his first blood!

"Yes, host, an acre of land, and it's planted with... uh, this is wheat, but it doesn't quite look like it!"

Qiao Manman's consciousness sank into the space and she found that the wheat planted in the field was more than a person tall.

They were densely packed together, without any gaps. The ears of wheat were as thick and long as an adult's arm, covered with grains the size of a thumb.

The wheat awns gleamed with a metallic sheen, thin and long, sending a chill down one's spine.

Qiao Manman asked, "Tongtong, can people enter the space now?"

The system said, "Okay, host, but this land is completely covered by wheat. We need to clear some of it before we can settle down."

Qiao Manman tried to remove a part of it with her consciousness, but found that the wheat wouldn't budge.

Unfortunately, we had no choice but to give up.

The system comforted her: "Host, don't be discouraged. After you get married, spend more time with Lu Yuan, sign in on other lands, and you'll be able to enter the system space!"

Qiao Manman's face darkened: "What do you mean? Am I tied to him? What if he changes his mind? Can't I go find other cute guys?"

"No, host, you have the right to choose your partner. You just feel that leveling up is faster with Lu Yuan."

Qiao Manman hummed in agreement and looked into the distance.

Before anyone knew it, someone else had appeared next to Lu Yuan.

Pushing the bicycle, he took the package from his hand, and the two of them got on the bike and rode off into the distance.

Only after he was out of sight did Qiao Manman turn around and walk back. Completely unaware that Lu Yuan was being "interrogated" by his comrades.

In the distance, Lu Yifeng chuckled and joked, "Boss, you're something else! You even found such a beautiful young wife on a business trip!"

Lu Yuan didn't deny it, and smiled and said "Mm".

Lu Yifeng pressed on: "Little sister-in-law is really enthusiastic, no wonder you couldn't handle her, boss!"

Lu Yuan's face darkened, and he asked through gritted teeth, "You saw everything?"

"Ah, no!" Lu Yifeng immediately denied: "It's pitch black, what can I see? At most, based on my years of experience helping my comrades answer questions, I can deduce that you two are very much in love and don't want to be apart."

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Guess whether I believe you or not!"

Lu Yifeng chuckled: "Whether you believe it or not is not important. What's important is when you're going to marry your sister-in-law!"

The newly built family dormitories in our team are in high demand; I heard that you can't get one without a marriage certificate. Boss, you'd better step up your game!

Lu Yuan, unusually, didn't argue, and said in a muffled voice, "I understand!"

Lu Yifeng got more and more excited as he spoke, revealing to Lu Yuan everything he had heard in the team about how men and women should get along.

He blushed deeply, and Qiao Manman's face and soft lips kept flashing through his mind.

Hmm, he's been poisoned, and there's no cure.

"Alright, that's enough, let's get to the station!"

Lu Yuan's voice was hoarse, which seemed to be an attempt to cover up the truth.

Lu Yifeng suppressed a laugh; everything was understood without words.

***

Qiao Manman returned home, told her parents, and then went to her room to rest.

Qiao Runming grumbled to his wife, "A daughter is like a bird that flies away when she grows up, a daughter is like a bird that flies away when she grows up!"

He Nian chuckled: "It's better than not being able to get married at all! If it weren't for Lu Zhi... Lu Yuan coming over, I'm afraid our daughter would end up marrying an old widower."

Qiao Runming snorted coldly: "That kid got off easy!"

In the west room, Qiao Manman took out a mirror from the system space and, by the candlelight, examined her swollen lips, feeling somewhat shy.

But he quickly composed himself and used his mental power to harvest the wheat.

Harvesting was easier than pulling up the wheat. Qiao Manman cut the ears of wheat in just five minutes.

The moment the space was taken out, the room was filled with the aroma of grain.

Qiao Manman took a deep breath, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

Even Qiao Runming and He Nian next door noticed something was wrong.

However, the two tacitly agreed not to disturb Qiao Manman and chose to turn a blind eye.

Qiao Manman stared at the arm-sized ears of wheat on the kang (a heated brick bed), feeling somewhat dazed.

"This output is simply astonishing!"

The key question is, is it edible? Could it be some kind of celestial plant that would cause an ordinary person's body to explode if they ate it?

The system code flew around randomly for a moment, then shook its head: "Host, don't be afraid, this is just mutated wheat. Eating it can strengthen your body!"

Qiao Manman's eyes lit up, and she went to peel off the wheat grains.

As a result, I accidentally got poked by a sharp wheat awn, and a small bead of blood instantly appeared on my fingertip, which also stung a little.

"Mommy, this is much worse than being pricked with needles. Ouch, it hurts!"

Qiao Manman frowned deeply, feeling a surge of irritation.

After waiting for a while, my finger still hurt and started to swell.

Knowing that there was no time to lose, my mind wandered over the medicines that had been handed out after I signed in.

Just as I was about to take out ibuprofen to relieve the pain, the system stopped me.

“Host, these medicines are useless. You can try chewing up some wheat grains and applying them to the wound.”

Qiao Manman hummed in agreement, carefully peeled off a golden grain of wheat, and put it in her mouth to chew.

I thought it would be hard, but after chewing it I found it was soft. It has a similar texture to regular wheat grains, but it's more fragrant and sweeter.

If we were to sell this...

No, no, no! How could we sell something this good? Without a powerful background, wouldn't we just get arrested and used as a warehouse?

She doesn't want it!

Qiao Manman's mind raced, but she didn't delay as she applied the chewed wheat grains to the wound.

Although I find the mixture of saliva a bit unpleasant, I'm thankful it might relieve the pain.

Sure enough, the wound stopped bleeding, and the throbbing pain gradually subsided.

Five minutes later, the stinging sensation in my finger had subsided. After wiping away the wheat grains, only a small red dot remained.

Qiao Manman took out a pair of leather gloves, a pair of metal scissors, and two plastic basins from the system space.

Put on gloves and take the scissors to cut the wheat awns. Even though it was a new pair of scissors, it was as difficult as cutting wire.

Qiao Manman was very patient and cut each hair very carefully.

The cut wheat awns weren't thrown away; they were collected in a plastic basin to be stored away later.

Qiao Manman spent more than two hours cutting the hair.

By the time she finally started husking the wheat, Lu Yuan was ready to board the train.
