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

Yan Chengke laughed and said, "The capable should do more work!"

That way, our office staff, as well as Xiao Guo's colleagues from the union, are at your disposal.

"If you complete the task exceptionally well, how about I apply for a bonus for you from the factory manager?"

Having already signed the "contract of servitude," what could Qiao Manman do? Of course, she had to bravely accept it!

but......

"Director, it's getting late, I'll head back now."

You and Director Miao can discuss and highlight the key points of this training session.

"I'll handle it more specifically when I get to work tomorrow."

Qiao Manman stuffed the machinery factory's rules and regulations into Yan Chengke's hands, and at the same time, gave him a table of contents.

The screen displayed phrases like "gender equality" and "freedom of marriage," which the other party was asked to check.

Yan Chengke knew he had tricked people into coming here and had been busy since morning, so he was really embarrassed to make them work overtime.

Moreover, Qiao's parents didn't know their daughter would be going to work right away; they're probably waiting anxiously at home.

He hurriedly said, "Okay, be careful on the road. I start work at eight tomorrow, it's okay if you're a little late."

Qiao Manman was unhappy.

Although she was able to go to bed early and get up early after she transmigrated.

But voluntarily and being forced are two different feelings. Suddenly, Qiao Manman didn't know if coming to work in the county was a good choice.

After leaving the machine factory, Qiao Manman wandered around. Seeing an old lady gathered together to cool off, she went up and chatted with her for a few minutes.

Ask the other party if there are any houses for rent or sale nearby.

"No, we don't even have enough room for ourselves, let alone spare rooms for others!"

Or they might say bluntly, "I have one! Let my sons squeeze in, and we can make a small shack. It's one yuan a month. Would you like to stay there?"

Qiao Manman shook her head, indicating that she did not want to be a bully who exploits the working people.

"Thank you, Auntie, but there are several people in my family, and the shack is too small for us. Sorry to bother you!"

Qiao Manman pushed her bicycle away, gazing at the setting sun, feeling utterly weary.

Not wanting to wander aimlessly like a headless fly, they hurried towards Qingshan Brigade as soon as it was light.

As we approached the village entrance, I put two pounds of large shrimp into my canvas bag.

"Oh, Qiao's girl is back! Um, you really went to work at the machine factory?"

Qiao Manman nodded: "Yes, Auntie, I just arrived today."

"Wow, Man'er is really something!"

Along the way, many people greeted her. Qiao Manman responded gently, her face almost frozen with a smile.

Having finally arrived at the foot of Daqingshan Mountain, they saw He Nian standing at the gate of the courtyard, tiptoeing and looking into the distance.

"Mom, I'm back!"

Qiao Manman pedaled her bicycle quickly twice, and then she saw that He Nian's eyes were red.

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, turned her head and said, "Dad, our daughter is back!"

Qiao Runming peeked out, wanting to rush out to greet his daughter, but he didn't dare.

After finally waiting for the door to be bolted, I hurriedly got up.

With stiff steps, she asked, "Manman, why are you back so late?"

Are the leaders easy to get along with? Have any colleagues made things difficult for you?

"No!"

Qiao Manman parked the car against the courtyard wall, took out a large shrimp from her bag and handed it to He Nian: "I was just planning to check in and come back, but the factory manager assigned me a task!"

The couple breathed a sigh of relief: "It's alright, it's alright. Young people should do more work!"

Qiao Manman laughed and didn't refute.

Big Yellow wagged its tail and snuggled up to her legs, while the little hen clucked and greeted her.

Qiao Manman reached into her pocket, pulled out two mutated wheat grains, and stuffed them into Dahuang's mouth.

For the hen, some coarse noodles were added.

The dog and the chicken were eating happily. Qiao Manman went to the backyard to fetch water to wash up. When she came back, she observed the experimental field in the corner of the wall and found that there was still no change.

She wasn't in a hurry, after all, summer wasn't the time to plant wheat.

After helping He Nian prepare the shrimp for a while, I was sent back to my room to rest.

Qiao Manman lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), sinking her consciousness into the space.

An acre of mutated wheat field, an acre of mutated paddy field, and densely packed ears of wheat (or rice) – the sight of them is pleasing to the eye.

Two rows of harvested wheat fields revealed dark, succulent soil, while in a corner, a small plot of land the size of a bathtub sprouted tiny specks of green.

Qiao Manman hesitated for a moment, then used her consciousness to take out a bunch of seeds from the system space.

Just as I was about to plant it, the system announced, "Host, host, you can make a wish for a fruit tree and plant a sapling directly!"

Qiao Manman raised an eyebrow: "You can do that?"

"Of course we can! You're the apple of everyone's eye, we have to grant your wish!"

Qiao Manman laughed: "I hope to sign in on some fruit trees, all of them!"

"Congratulations, host! You have obtained one cubic meter of supplies and one fertility pill!"

Qiao Manman used her senses to look and saw that there was an extra cubic meter of fruit tree seedlings in the storage area.

Qiao Manman was pleasantly surprised and flashed into the space, placed the fruit tree seedlings on the wheat field, and found that there were as many as thirteen kinds, a total of one hundred.

They brought over their tools and dug holes to plant trees. They planted them in a row, but only managed to plant a dozen or so.

There are apples, cherries, mangoes, mangosteens, lychees, durians, hawthorns, pears, peaches, tangerines, as well as chestnuts, cashews, and hazelnuts.

"Tongtong, your fruit tree area is a bit too large!"

"Host, just tell me if you're satisfied or not!"

"Satisfied, of course I'm satisfied! Chestnuts can be stewed with chicken, cashews can be stir-fried with shrimp, and hazelnuts are delicious even when eaten raw."

Ahhh, I'm about to faint from happiness.

Although she checks in every day, she doesn't lack fruit to eat.

Having tasted the flavor of mutated wheat, how could one not yearn for and crave that energy-rich, exquisitely delicious fruit!

Qiao Manman raised her hand to wipe away the sweat and flashed out of the space.

I went to the backyard to wash up, then collected the cool well water into my space to water the saplings. After that, I smelled the aroma of shrimp and sat down in the yard.

"Mom's cooking skills have improved!" Qiao Manman praised as she looked at the delicious-looking and fragrant dishes.

He Nian said shyly, "It's all because of the good seasoning you gave me."

Who would have thought that just a tiny bit of this ingredient could completely transform the flavor of a dish?

Qiao Manman served some food to her parents before burying her head in her food.

I'm so glad I'm home. I can eat whatever I want and just relax whenever I want. It's so comfortable!

As night deepened, Qiao Manman gazed at the starry sky and drifted off to sleep.

He Nian told her to go back to her room to rest, and Qiao Manman nodded, her steps a little unsteady.

Once she lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and soft snoring filled the room, He Nian muttered to Qiao Runming, "Didn't Director Yan say she was supposed to be sitting in an office? How come this is more tiring than being a factory worker?"

Qiao Runming's gaze fell on the bicycle: "If only we had a house in the county!"

He Nian raised her hand and stroked his legs: "Can your legs take care of themselves?"

If I can, I'll go to work tomorrow to save money for my daughter's dowry!

Qiao Runming felt somewhat ashamed.

He was already able to get up and walk a few steps, but because his previous injury was too severe, he had to pretend to be sick at home.

He, a grown man, felt ashamed to be raised by his frail wife and young daughter!

Qiao Runming was silent for a moment: "Let's ask Manman tomorrow. She's the one who makes the decisions!"

He Nian smiled: "Okay!"
