Chapter 600 Finale 2
Thanks to the involvement of the Rejuvenating Pill, nothing too tragic happened in 1976, but society still underwent significant changes.
In addition to the resumption of the college entrance examination, several cities are piloting reform and opening up.
Although Lu Qihua was still in relatively good health, he gradually relinquished power to Lu Jingchuan.
In 1977 or 1978, Lu Qihua retired and spent his time at home enjoying his grandchildren. Lu Jingchuan took over as the top leader of the military region.
Lu Yuan was also transferred from Northeast China to Beijing, where he not only received a promotion but also went to a military academy for further studies.
Qiao Manman naturally followed him back to Kyoto, settling down completely in this prosperous land.
You mean Qiao Lingyue and He Jingcheng?
Of course we should keep up!
Not only did they rush to Kyoto, but even Dean Huo and Dean Zhang moved to a different location.
Kyoto began constructing a new research institute several years ago.
Not only is it well-hidden and heavily guarded, but it also covers a vast area, making it ideal for experiments.
Qiao Manman is now in charge of projects independently, and she no longer needs to do many things herself.
With two young children at home who need constant care, she has to come back to be with them almost every weekend.
Despite his frequent trips, he didn't neglect his work at all. On the contrary, he became well-known and highly regarded in the research institute for frequently solving critical problems.
The high-ranking leader often inquired about her, and had some guesses about her situation.
However, because of the unity of purpose, and because Qiao Manman was wholeheartedly devoted to the country and made occasional "offerings," everyone agreed not to mention her unusual behavior.
Of course, even if they wanted to bring it up, they couldn't bring themselves to say it. Even if they wanted to write it down, they found it difficult to put pen to paper.
We share the same goal: to cooperate and achieve mutual benefit.
Qiao Manman's third and fourth pregnancies went very smoothly.
The baby was born before she even entered the delivery room.
The doctor was stunned, saying that in all his years of treating patients, this was the first time he had ever seen such a quick delivery. It was as easy as defecating.
Qiao Manman said that she didn't give birth to a poop, she gave birth to a baby!
"Oh my goodness, you've finally come out!"
Qiao Manman gently touched the baby's face with her fingers; it was soft and tender, and she didn't dare to use any force.
The three and four babies cried loudly as they welcomed the new world.
Upon hearing the noise, Lu Yuan tried to rush into the ward, but was stopped by a nurse.
"Deputy Brigade Commander Lu, don't be impulsive. Let Comrade Qiao finish packing before you go in."
Seeing Lu Yuan's dark expression, the nurse quickly said, "This is for Comrade Qiao's own good. Be careful of infection!"
Lu Yuan calmed down and glanced at Qiao Lingyue. Seeing him nod, he stood in the corridor and took a deep breath.
Half an hour later, the ward door opened. Lu Yuan was able to see the slightly weak Qiao Manman and the two wrinkled little monkeys.
"Honey, are you alright?"
"That's great, I want to go home!"
"Comrade Qiao, don't worry, you need to be observed for two more days before being discharged!" After saying this, the nurse saw that neither of them took it seriously, and she went out to ask for help in a hurry and annoyance.
Lu Yuan chuckled: "Tomorrow, otherwise they'll be crying!"
Qiao Manman sighed, "My room, my bed, my vacation, my baby, sigh!"
In the evening, Xie Susu brought Qibao and Xiubao to visit.
The two children's eyes lit up as they looked at the baby in the cradle: "Mommy, is this my little brother?"
"Yes, this is your little brother, Qi Bao and Xiu Bao. Do you like your little brother?"
"I love it! My little brother is so tiny. When will they be able to play with me and my sister?"
"Probably in a year or two!"
Qiao Manman reached out and pulled Qi Bao and Xiu Bao into her arms: "Mom has four children now, and I feel very happy."
I apologize for neglecting you during my pregnancy.
But you are Mommy's precious babies, and Mommy loves you just as much as she loves Daddy.
In the future, I won't show any favoritism because of my younger brother; on the contrary, I'll love you both six years more than I love my brother!
"Mommy!" Qi Bao and Xiu Bao's eyes were red and swollen. They snuggled into Qiao Manman's arms, showing great affection.
Lu Yuan patted their little heads and said, "Daddy will love you for six more years!"
Qi Bao and Xiu Bao nodded vigorously: "Mom and Dad, Qi Bao (Xiu Bao) loves you!"
Turning his head, he said, "I love Grandma and Great-Grandpa too!"
The next day, Qiao Manman was taken back to the military compound.
Neighbors came to visit, and they were incredibly envious of the four children in the Lu family.
"Your son Xiaoyuan is so lucky to have married a wife who is beautiful, capable, and can bear children!"
Their focus was on the last three words. Qiao Manman ignored them, taking it all as praise for her beauty and her excellent work!
Before long, the two children grew up, and the little rascal, just as Lu Yuan had hoped, showed a strong interest in military affairs.
With their father's daily influence and their mother's extra help, the two children are far ahead of their peers in both physical and intellectual development.
After graduating from military academy, he smoothly entered the army. In a short period of time, he made great contributions.
Everyone praised the son, saying that the Lu family has a worthy successor!
As for Qi Bao and Xiu Bao, after graduating from Huaqing University, they entered the research institute one after the other.
One of them was engaged in pharmaceutical development and researched many effective drugs.
One became a weapons engineer, shining brightly in his professional field.
Qiao Manman was very pleased, as were the Lu family.
Over the years, Qiao Manman has helped her younger brother from her maternal family quite a bit.
Although the two children were mischievous, they were very sensible.
One of them studied economics in college, and the other studied Marxist philosophy.
After graduation, following Qiao Manman's arrangement, one of them started a company, and the other went to work for a company.
The two children are very low-key and humble, and have never taken advantage of their sister's family connections to do anything wrong.
Riding the wave of rapid economic development, one expanded and strengthened the company, while the other rose to become the second-in-command of the unit, leading Qiao Runming to transcend social classes.
Whenever Miao Shoujun mentions this incident, he feels fortunate that the two met when they were both struggling. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't even have been able to inhale the exhaust fumes from the other family's car.
Others also have their own paths to take. For example, Li Dai founded an entertainment company after leaving the performing arts troupe.
Thanks to the ideas Qiao Manman gave him, he made a fortune.
But Qiao Manman had a knot in her heart, and that was Chen Junyan.
"Haven't you found it yet?" she asked.
Lu Yuan shook his head: "If he really wanted to hide, he wouldn't be so easy to find. He might have already fled to Hong Kong or abroad."
"Wife, do you regret marrying me?"
Qiao Manman punched him lightly: "What are you thinking? I'm not delirious, I'm not giving birth to one child after another for you!"
"Then why did you look for him?"
Qiao Manman looked up at the sky: "I don't know either. Maybe I just want to see them!"
Before he knew it, Lu Yuan had reached the age of fifty and occasionally appeared on the news.
As a family member, Qiao Manman sometimes accompanies him to events.
Although she is over forty, time has not left many marks on her face.
Chen Junyan looked at the perfect couple on TV and felt nothing but wishing them well.
"Sir, is your leg hurting again? You can't walk when it's windy or rainy. Why don't we go to Kyoto to get it checked out?"
I heard there's an old doctor at the military hospital who's incredibly skilled at acupuncture. For an ailment like yours, just a few courses of treatment should be enough to cure you!
Chen Junyan rubbed his knees: "Then, let's go back!"
It's time to meet with old friends.
Qiao Manman met Chen Junyan one afternoon.
She was still somewhat incredulous when she received the call.
I rushed to the hospital and caught a glimpse of a figure in a wheelchair under the locust tree: "Long time no see, what happened to you?"
Chen Junyan smiled gently: "You saved a child, and this is it! He can walk, but not very nimbly!"
"Why didn't you come to me sooner? You know I can restore you to your former self!"
Qiao Manman's eyes were red, and she couldn't quite describe her emotions.
Perhaps it's a lament that the other person's bright future has been ruined, or perhaps it's a sense of indebtedness that the two were destined to be apart.
"Don't cry!" Chen Junyan raised his hand, then restrained himself and lowered it again.
He squinted at the sun: "This is good, I won't get burned."
The two were silent.
After a long while, Qiao Manman asked, "Do you want to know what happened in Dong Province back then?"
Chen Junyan shook his head: "It's all in the past!"
Lu Yuan rushed over from the military region, and, feigning composure, took Qiao Manman's hand: "Long time no see!"
Chen Junyan smiled slightly: "Commander Lu, you've won this life!"
