"Brigade Leader, we know we were wrong; please help us plead for mercy, don't let Special Commissioner Lu really leave."

"That's right, that's right, if he leaves, where will we find such a big fool?"

"Cough, cough, keep your voice down."

"Got it, got it."

"Cough, cough, cough."

The Brigade Leader coughed lightly, signaling for everyone to quiet down.

"I know about the matter; if you still have any conscience, then restrain yourselves and don't always go to Special Commissioner Lu's place to sponge off him..."

"He's just one person, why does he need so many supplies? They should be shared with us."

"That's right, that's right, anyway he's just one person, he can't use up all the supplies himself, it would be better to help us."

"Pfft, look at that, you all have such good reasons; you drive him away, and once he's gone, if the next Special Commissioner sent from above is harder-hearted, what good will you get?"

"Then Brigade Leader, what do you suggest we do?"

"The person who laid hands on Special Commissioner Lu, stand out!"

After the Brigade Leader's voice fell, the scene was silent.

Everyone backed away at this moment, not daring to admit it.

The Brigade Leader laughed in anger, while at the same time feeling a sense of sorrow in his heart.

The place was poor, but it was poor in thought; the problem was at the root.

From such a place, it was hard for a golden phoenix or a golden dragon to fly out!

How the Brigade Leader felt and how the villagers felt, Lu Mingyuan didn't know.

He was now dizzy and nauseous in his stomach.

After arriving at the health center, he lost consciousness and collapsed onto the hospital bed.

If it hadn't been for Bai Xiuying's quick reflexes to catch him, he would have fallen to the ground.

"Mom, is Uncle Lu dead?"

"Dabao, don't talk nonsense; your Uncle Lu is just unconscious, he'll be fine."

Bai Xiuying corrected her son's thinking and helped him lie straight.

Sigh, her feelings for Lu Mingyuan were very strange.

Sometimes she would feel he was so pitiful.

Sometimes she would feel he was so stupid.

A smart person wouldn't share their own supplies unconditionally.

In him, she saw stupidity and a soft heart, but she also saw the kindness of human nature.

If she were his family, would she feel more heartache seeing him like this?

Or would she feel more resentment?

Realizing what she was thinking, she quickly stopped, left the hospital bed with a flushed face, and went to prepare medicine.

She didn't know anything about Lu Mingyuan's past, so how could she develop special feelings for him?

That wasn't right!

What if he had a wife and children who were still waiting for him to come home!

Yes, that was it.

Once he woke up, she would ask him if he wanted to write a letter home about his situation here.

Even if his family couldn't come, at least there would be a response, a spiritual sustenance, right?

However, she didn't know that Lu Mingyuan's past was very spectacular...

Let alone sending a letter home, even Lu Mingyuan himself didn't dare to face his children or hear his father's voice.

His coming to the border town was a self-imposed exile for the rest of his life!

On the Sea Island—

Following Pei Yan Ting and Shen Man, the pregnant women in the Jiashuyuan began to give birth one after another.

On the same day, the record was set: 8 babies were born simultaneously!

Born in the same year, same month, same day, and same time; what a wonderful fate.

Regardless of whether they were boys or girls, the hospital gave out a bag of milk powder.

The hospital's delivery rooms were full of mothers, and everywhere there was the sound of babies crying.

But no one was impatient, and the medical staff were all very diligent and responsible.

The parents and elders of the babies were also polite and accommodating to each other.

The baby boom gradually came to an end.

By the end of the year, it came to an abrupt stop.

People in the Jiashuyuan began to put up spring couplets, bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, praying for peace year after year.

At the end of the month, with the wind light and the clouds soft, Shen Man and her sister-in-law finally finished their confinement, took a proper bath, and prepared for the children's full-month celebration.

"Meow."

After about a month of recuperation, Tangyuan came out of the space.

The whole cat had grown a size larger, making everyone who hadn't seen it for a long time wonder where Tangyuan had gone to eat such good food during this time.

"Meow."

Lord Meow didn't go to eat; it was energy overload, and it had fallen into a dormant state to recuperate.

Now it was fine; it was full of strength, had recovered some of its power, and could switch between cat form and tiger form, holding it for five minutes.

Don't underestimate these five minutes; in a critical moment of danger, it might be able to carry its owner to safety!

Let's not talk about that for now; its two little owners were so milky and cute!

"Sigh, Tangyuan, don't kick, I'll hold you to see Xiao Nuomi."

Old Master Lu saw Tangyuan arching its body, lying on the edge of the cradle, trying hard to climb up, and hurried over to help.

He didn't think that because Tangyuan was a cat, it was dirty and couldn't touch the children.

On the contrary, cats themselves were very clean.

Moreover, Tangyuan was a member of the family, a meritorious little cat, and was very human-like.

"Meow."

Thank you, Grandfather.

Tangyuan obediently let itself be picked up by Grandfather, and then it could see the full view of Xiao Nuomi.

Wow, Xiao Nuomi's eyes were like grapes, so beautiful.

Her nose looked exactly like the owner's, her eyes like the big boss's, her mouth like the owner's, and her cheek contours like the big boss's.

"Little sister Xiao Nuomi is cute, isn't she? She even has little dimples when she smiles."

Old Master Lu smiled and teased Xiao Nuomi, successfully making the little one laugh.

"Meow."

Tangyuan showed a big smile on its lips; yes, yes, Xiao Nuomi is so cute, she has dimples!

"Come and see the older brother, Xiao Mantou."

Old Master Lu rubbed Tangyuan's head; what a good cat.

Gentle in temperament and able to understand human speech.

In the future, accompanying the two—no, three children as they grew up, it would definitely be a great playmate.

"Meow."

Xiao Mantou is so cold and aloof; his eyes are just like the big boss's, especially when he's not smiling, he's a complete replica of the big boss!

"Haha, Tangyuan, Xiao Mantou is just like that; he doesn't like to smile, but he's very well-behaved. He only cries when he's hungry and wails when he's pooped; he doesn't usually trouble people much."

Old Master Lu explained that compared to his two sisters, Xiao Mantou was completely the cold and aloof type.

Lian Lian loved to cry and laugh; when she cried, it was mostly wailing, and she was as clever as a ghost.

Xiao Nuomi didn't cry much; she just liked to laugh, with shallow dimples, and was unbelievably well-behaved.

The three children all had different personalities.

At first, they were all red and wrinkled, with such small bodies.

Under a month of care, their skin had become white and tender, and their arms were like lotus roots, making one want to take a bite just looking at them.

Of course, no one could bear to bite them; they were just a joy to look at.

Their little bodies had also grown quite a bit, looking very healthy, and they were super strong when kicking their legs!

For some time now, they hadn't been going to the reservoir or fishing by the sea.

Every few days—no, they almost wanted to come and tease the little babies every day.

It was also because there were enough old friends that his granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law had such a good confinement.

They hadn't suffered at all, and all the deficiencies in their bodies had been made up for!

And now, it was time for the full-month celebration; they had to invite friends and family to come to the house to drink and have a lively time!
