Chapter 19: Another Bad Romance (Page 1/2)
Lin Man took a bus back to the military hospital. Seeing that it was almost twelve o'clock, she simply went directly to the hospital to find Huo Qingci.
As soon as I walked into the corridor of their department, I ran into Huo Qingci and his colleagues walking and chatting.
Lin Man chased after him with a smile, "Doctor Huo!"
Huo Qingci turned around and saw Lin Man coming. His cold face immediately turned into a smile. "Manman, you're here."
Chen Wei saw Huo Qingci's expression change in an instant. Could this person be his new wife? He had eaten her wedding candy in the morning.
He smiled and asked Huo Qingci, "Doctor Huo, she is your new wife, right?"
Huo Qingci nodded and said, "Yes, this is my wife Lin Man. Manman, this is my colleague Comrade Chen Wei."
"Hello, Comrade Chen Wei."
"Hello, Comrade Lin Man."
After the two of them exchanged greetings, Huo Qingci took off his white coat and stuffed it directly into Chen Wei's hands, "Old Chen, please help me put away my white coat."
Chen Wei's mouth twitched. This guy worked meticulously and had an ascetic face. He didn't expect that he would have this side even after getting married. He even found it difficult to walk a few steps to the office.
"Okay, you go first, I'll help you put the white coat away." Chen Wei took the white coat that Huo Qingci took off.
"Thank you."
After Chen Wei left, Huo Qingci walked over to Lin Man and asked her, "Manman, what would you like to eat for lunch?"
"What's delicious in your cafeteria? I haven't eaten in your cafeteria yet."
"We didn't bring lunch boxes, so we'll go to the cafeteria and order some stir-fries. We'll order whatever you like. You've been tired all night, are you hungry?"
This guy thinks about what happened last night even when he's eating. Who is to blame for her being tired?
She couldn't let him go on like this tonight, so she was going to steal and go to the Lin family.
"Qingci, I'm going to the cotton mill this morning to find a cotton maker to help me make the quilt."
"Manman, didn't you go out to sleep? Where did you get the cotton if you don't have cotton coupons?"
"I paid the cotton maker to buy it. He will always find a way to fluff the cotton."
"Just play it. It's hot over there on the island. We can buy some blankets there."
"I bought two thin quilts weighing four kilograms each, and two cotton quilts weighing six kilograms each, but they will take a week to get."
By this calculation, the daughter-in-law gave away 20 kilograms of cotton. In those days of scarcity of supplies, cotton was especially precious. How could the cotton maker be willing to return so much cotton to her at once?
It seems that he has to find a way to get some cotton from there to make a thin cotton jacket for his wife in winter. It is still a bit cold in the southern part of the island in winter.
The two of them arrived at the cafeteria, and Huo Qingci asked Lin Man, "What would you like to eat?"
Lin Man said, "Braised fish fillets and stir-fried loofah."
Huo Qingci asked again: "Would you like some tomato and egg soup?"
Lin Man shook her head, "It's too much, the two of us can't finish it."
Huo Qingci went to order the food first, and Lin Man found a table and sat down. As soon as the food was served, the two were ready to eat.
Qiao Xue pulled her good friend Zhang Xiaofang over and said, "Doctor Huo, are you eating in the cafeteria today? Fangfang, please help me get some food. We'll sit at this table."
Lin Man felt a little puzzled. Although the table was round and anyone could sit on it, who was this woman?
Can't you see that she and Huo Qingci are together?
Huo Qingci just nodded without replying to Qiao Xue's words. He picked up a piece of fish belly for Lin Man and said, "Manman, eat quickly."
Qiao Xue opened her mouth wide. How could he...how could he pick up food for a female comrade?
"Doctor Huo, who is this lesbian? Is she your cousin?"
Huo Qingci put down his chopsticks and formally introduced her: "She is my wife, Lin Man!"
"When did you get married? How come I didn't know?"
Huo Qingci's brows furrowed. Did he have to announce his marriage to the entire world? It was enough for his colleagues in the department to know. What did it matter if other people knew or not?
Seeing Qiao Xue's devastated expression, Lin Man wondered if she was in love with her husband. It was truly a sin for a man to be so handsome, attracting such a bad peach blossom.
She tugged at Huo Qingci's sleeve, "Qingci, who is she?"
"Intern doctor in internal medicine, Comrade Qiao Xue."
Huo Wenyue said that day that she was luckier than Xiaoxue. So it turned out to be her! I heard that she came from a good family and was the eldest granddaughter of Political Commissar Qiao. She went to study medicine specifically for Huo Qingci.
She has a fair and clean complexion, and she doesn't look young at this age, right?
"Hello, Comrade Qiao Xue, I am Qingci's wife, Lin Man."
Qiao Xue bit her lip, looking like she had been bullied, and looked at Huo Qingci as if he were a heartless man.
Sure enough, the next second her tears began to flow, "How can you get married so soon? My grandfather said that next week, he would go to your grandfather to propose marriage for us. How can you get married so soon?

You two didn't meet through a blind date, did you? Blind dates also follow the first come first served principle. After all, we have known each other for so many years.
I've known you for more than ten years. Why didn't you wait for me and just found someone to marry? "
Huo Qingci's face was as dark as water, and he said in a cold voice: "Comrade Qiao Xue, who I marry is none of your business. You'd better sit aside so as not to affect my wife's appetite."
The cafeteria was bustling with people. Lin Man was afraid that the noise would be too awkward, so she advised, "Qingci, let's eat quickly! Comrade Qiao Xue, everything about love should be left to fate."
Only when two people are in love can it be considered first come first served. Before my son Qingci married me, he had no other woman in his heart.
Everything depends on fate. If there is fate, people will meet each other even if they are thousands of miles apart. If there is no fate, it will be difficult to hold hands. If two people are not destined to be together, it will be useless even if they have been arranged to be married since childhood.
Besides, you should have a lot of friends who grew up with you, right? My Qingci is married now, so you can find a childhood sweetheart who grew up with you wearing open-crotch pants."
"What do you mean, woman? You said Huo Qingci and I have no fate? Commander Huo and my grandfather are good friends, how can he and I have no fate?"
Don't compete with the wise, don't argue with the fools. Lin Man glanced at Qiao Xue and ate her own meal.
Huo Qingci smiled and ignored Qiao Xue. Seeing that the two ignored her, Qiao Xue's colleagues at the next table leaned over to watch the show.
She stomped her feet in anger and ran away without even taking her lunch box.
When Zhang Xiaofang saw her best friend running away, she wanted to chase her with her lunch box, but then she thought better of giving her lunch first and then asking her for money later.
Huo Qingci was a little worried at first, but when he saw Lin Man eating happily and not affected by Qiao Xue's words at all, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After dinner, Huo Qingci took Lin Man back to the dormitory for a nap. Thinking that Lin Man didn't sleep well last night, he didn't get much rest either. At noon, he just held her in his arms and didn't touch her.
Huo Qingci got up at 2:10 to go to work. Lin Man was still sleeping. When he left, he simply closed the dormitory door and did not disturb her rest.
When Lin Man got up in the afternoon, she went straight into the space to choose some cloth to make a quilt cover.
The world outside was in chaos, with people parading everywhere, so she decided not to join in the fun.
The robot butler, Xiaozhi, moved his chubby body to Lin Man and said, "Master, the gifts you ordered this morning are all ready. Would you like to see them?"
[Okay. Hey, what's wrapped in this brown paper?]
Double Happiness brand candies and peach pastries.
[Xiaozhi, well done! I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful, even printing a big "囍" character on the kraft paper.]
Two red circles suddenly appeared on Xiaozhi's smart display. "Oh, Master, I feel a little embarrassed to be praised again."
[Haha, I didn't expect robots to be shy. Xiaozhi, I asked a cotton craftsman to make a few quilts today. Can you help me pick out some sheets from the warehouse? They must be vintage-inspired.]
[Master, is this the red dragon and phoenix satin sheet?]
[Well, anything similar is fine. Green printed satin sheets and blue ones are both fine.]
【Xiaozhi will find it for you right away.】
In the afternoon, Lin Man took advantage of Huo Qingci's absence from the dormitory and took out the return gifts for her aunt, third aunt, fourth aunt, and youngest aunt, as well as the return gifts for Huo Qingci's two uncles and youngest aunt.
In the evening, Huo Qingci got some food and returned to the dormitory. Seeing so many things suddenly appearing in the house, he asked, "Manman, did you go shopping this afternoon?"
"Well, weren't you supposed to visit relatives before leaving? I saw you weren't free, so I went shopping on my own."
Huo Qingci looked at the gift box and asked, "What is this?"
"These are the big towels I asked someone to help me buy. There are two in a box. Pink and white and blue and white look good, don't they?"
"It looks good. How did you get so many?"
“Use a big woven bag!”
"Don't do that next time. I'll do the lifting from now on."
Lin Man grinned and said, "Okay."
The two of them ate in the dormitory, and then went for a walk. After coming back and taking a shower, Huo Qingci not only washed his own clothes, but also washed Lin Man's dirty clothes, even her underwear.
Lin Man felt that after getting married, she was completely useless. She didn't have to do anything and could only live a life of idleness and wait for death.
Before going to bed, Huo Qingci started to ask Lin Man for benefits. She said that she would not let him touch her tonight, but they ended up sleeping in each other's arms, like dry firewood meeting a raging fire, and they had another fight.
However, this time Lin Man did not completely follow Huo Qingci's instructions. After the two of them had sex once, Lin Man directly used her wood-based abilities to create a dream flower, allowing Huo Qingci to quickly fall asleep.
Then he took the key, sneaked out of the dormitory, went out to the street, and rode his green motorcycle all the way towards the Lin family.
