Chapter 399

Shen Man requested leave and shift adjustments in advance, and the paperwork went through exceptionally smoothly.

It wasn't currently a peak period for newborns in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, so the workload in the department wasn't very heavy.

Plus, with the experience of the past two years, the hospital department had successively recruited new nurses and hired professional doctors.

Everyone in the same department understood and helped each other.

Shen Man's reputation and word-of-mouth had always been very good, and Director Ma, who was acting head of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, knew this and approved the leave without making things difficult.

Of course, after she returned, the shifts she missed would have to be made up.

This counted toward performance evaluations and had hard indicators.

Shen Man finished her last shift and promised her colleagues she would bring back local specialties from the Capital, only then managing to get away.

After going downstairs, she saw a familiar figure there to pick her up, feeling both surprised and delighted.

"Ah Ye, why did you come to pick me up? Have you slept? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

In the hospital's crowded parking shed, Shen Man didn't throw herself into the man's arms too recklessly, but her pace was urgent, almost at a light run.

"Yes, I slept, and I'm not feeling uncomfortable. I've finished cooking, so I came to pick you up to go home.

Don't forget we have important business tomorrow; wash up and go to bed early tonight, pack our luggage, and we'll set off after breakfast tomorrow morning."

Jiang Ye brought out the bicycle; he also had a key for the lock, so unlocking it was a matter of minutes.

"Mm-hmm, I've already requested my leave, Director Ma said..."

Shen Man consciously sat sideways on the back seat, and after the man got on and sat steady, she naturally reached out her arms and hugged the man's waist tightly.

Mm, she had checked, it was her man in the flesh.

She had a dream last night that their family of four was digging for clams by the sea.

Just as everything was impossibly beautiful, he suddenly turned around, the aura in her man's heart turned golden, and his tone became overbearing, as if he had become a completely different person...

Fortunately, supernatural events are just supernatural events; dreams can't be taken seriously.

Speaking of which, she hadn't had news of Lu Manman for a long time; she wondered how that person was doing now?

Was the food in the mental hospital delicious?

It was thanks to that person trying to snatch the marriage; otherwise, wouldn't she have been the one to end up in that state?

Sure enough, there are good men and bad men; lucky as she was, she had found the best man in the world!

"What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Ye heard his wife's silly giggling and asked.

They currently had no secrets and were completely honest with each other.

"Thinking about you, why are you so good?"

They were an old married couple, but sweet talk never goes out of style.

Between husband and wife, sweet words are sometimes a kind of adhesive, always fresh when used often.

"Silly, I'm your husband; if I'm not good to you, who would I be good to?"

A pleasant laugh came from Jiang Ye's throat; he clearly enjoyed this.

Shen Man pressed her face against the man's back and silently hugged him a little tighter.

Husband and wife are the closest of kin; she felt that if she could do it all over again, she would fall in love with this man again.

Because he was worth it, and he was truly very good.

In the remote mountainous area, with National Day approaching, schools in many places began their holidays.

In the small mountain village, the only primary school also went on holiday.

As the only teacher at the primary school, Zuo Weiguo naturally had a holiday as well.

"Manman, a villager gave me a piece of cured meat today; we'll have meat to eat tonight."

"Manman, don't play with the mud; mud is dirty."

"Manman, we've been together for a year now; how about we have a child?"

"Manman, forget the past; from now on, we'll just live in this place where no outsiders know us..."

No matter what he said, the person in his arms had a blank expression, neither responding that it was good nor that it was bad.

Perhaps sensing his low mood, she gave him a fawning smile.

Zuo Weiguo was easy to coax; he was an honest man and the only Educated Youth in the small mountain village who had voluntarily stayed behind.

Other Educated Youths, after receiving the order to return to the city, had left everything in the mountain village behind without looking back, and after returning to the city, they had no news and cut off all contact with the small mountain village.

Only he had stayed behind without hesitation, cooperating with the local government to establish a primary school and becoming the only teacher.

Some said he was stupid, some said he was kind.

But only he knew that he had no face to go home.

His parents had truly published a notice in the newspaper to sever their relationship with him.

Everything in the family belonged to his younger sister.

If he went back, he would only be an object of ridicule, and the family would not prosper.

It was he who had failed his parents' cultivation and failed their expectations...

"Don't cry, have a baby, baby is good, baby is nice."

A trace of intolerance flashed through Lu Manman's heart, but more than that, she loved herself.

She could pretend to be crazy and stupid, and she could coax this fool.

Because she needed to rely on this fool, and just wait—she would definitely find an opportunity to storm back to the Capital and take revenge on Gu Tingchen!

As for Shen Man, don't even think about running; as long as she didn't die, they would be the ones to die!

"Manman, you agreed? You agreed, right? That's great!"

A happy smile appeared on Zuo Weiguo's plain face, little knowing that the woman in his arms was like a poppy—beautiful, but deadly and vicious.

Lu Manman didn't answer, just kept giggling foolishly.

Did she feel sorry?

No, being used by her was this man's honor.

At the same time, in the Capital's Railway Bureau Jiashuyuan, at the Liu family's home.

Gu Yinyin was pregnant, and after the diagnosis, it was twins; the Liu parents were overjoyed and bragged to everyone they met that their precious daughter-in-law was a bringer of prosperity and had brought honor to their old Liu family!

And so, tonight, Mother Liu specially prepared a table of food and invited her daughter-in-law's brother, sister-in-law, and their family of three over for dinner.

Nannan was playing puzzles with her little cousin Xiaojie in the toy area; it was very harmonious, and with a foundation of affection, they didn't fight or snatch, which made the adults very gratified.

"Xiong Ying, Yinyin is pregnant now, and it's twins; you have to be careful and show some restraint from now on, don't bully Yinyin, and don't make her angry."

Seeing his sister's happy appearance, Gu Tingchen was also happy for her.

Loving the house and its crow, he also had a lot of patience for this foolish brother-in-law; he truly treated the other person as one of his own, which was why he put effort into teaching and communicating with him.

"Mm-hmm, I know, Big Brother. I will be good to my wife, the kind of good that is very, very good."

Liu Xiongying smiled foolishly, knowing he was going to be a father again; his father and mother had both patted him on the back.

But it didn't hurt; his heart was very sweet and very happy!

His wife was so good, willing to be with a big fool like him, to have children and raise children; he couldn't earn money to support the family, so he could only silently listen, take good care of the children, and not hold his wife back!

Gu Tingchen didn't expect this brother-in-law, whose intelligence was stuck at around ten years old, to make any promises; having this attitude was enough for him to thank the heavens.

Father Liu went into the room and brought out his hidden liquor, using the highest standard of hospitality to entertain his daughter-in-law's brother.

This wasn't just interaction between relatives, but also political exchange.

Since his daughter-in-law had brought descendants and hope to the Liu family, he was willing to return the favor by paving the way and transferring connections to his daughter-in-law's brother...
