Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 128 I'll be quick!

Zhong Weiguo had three battalion commanders under his command.

Besides Lu Cheng, the other two are Wang Fugui and Zhang Ziqiang.

The two men were a bit older than Lu Cheng and had both married early. Their families had also followed them to the military and lived in the family quarters.

For dinner tonight, both of them invited their families, creating a large gathering.

After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Moli volunteered to go into the kitchen to help.

In fact, she couldn't be of much help.

Her cooking skills are limited to boiling frozen food and noodles. She can stir-fry some dishes, but the taste and appearance are not guaranteed.

After looking around, all she could do was start a fire.

Cooking here is done with firewood, which is chopped into thin strips and simply added to the stove.

However, this task had already been done by Battalion Commander Wang's wife.

Another wife of Battalion Commander Zhang assisted Jiang Wenjuan, who was in charge of cooking.

All she could do was stand and watch, chat with the three of them, and catch up on everyday things.

Soon, a large pot of stewed potatoes and cured pork was ready.

The potato chunks were roasted until golden brown and soft, and the strips of cured pork, about the thickness of a chopstick tip, were glistening with oil and red, filling the air with an enticing aroma of meat.

Jiang Moli swallowed hard. "Sister-in-law Wenjuan, your cooking is really good. It looks, smells, and tastes amazing. It's just as good as a restaurant chef's."

Jiang Wenjuan waved her hand, "I don't have the skill to compare with a master chef. I'll just stir-fry something casually. Don't complain if it doesn't taste good."

"Don't be modest, I've tasted your cooking! Last night's rabbit meat was the best I've ever had in my life, no arguments!"

Jiang Wenjuan couldn't stop smiling.

She could tell, of course, that Jiang Moli was trying to flatter her.

Such sweet words, who doesn't like to hear them?

Moreover, Jiang Moli's voice was sweet and crisp, her small face was fair, and her eyes curved into crescents when she smiled, just like a little girl.

No wonder Xiao Lu likes it; she finds it quite pleasing to the eye.

"As long as you don't mind the food being unpalatable, you can come over for a meal more often when you have time."

"okay!"

Both Battalion Commander Wang's wife and Battalion Commander Zhang's wife secretly pursed their lips, feeling a pang of jealousy in their hearts.

They had known Jiang Wenjuan for over a decade, and they had never seen her smile so happily before.

My face is almost broken from laughing.

I didn't invite them over for dinner anytime.

This guy surnamed Jiang really does have some tricks up his sleeve.

No wonder she could bewitch that cold-faced devil Lu Cheng.

Dinner will be served soon.

There were so many people that we split into two tables.

Zhong Weiguo, the two battalion commanders Wang and Zhang, and Lu Cheng and Jiang Moli sat at a table to eat.

Jiang Wenjuan and the two battalion commanders' wives led the children to sit at a table.

In fact, the number of children and adults is equal, so adults can sit at one table and children at another.

People in those days often went hungry, and meat was a rare treat.

Without adult supervision, the group of children would probably fight over meat.

Besides potatoes and cured pork, there was also stir-fried pumpkin, stewed green beans, braised tofu, and a large bowl of buckwheat noodles mixed with beef sauce on the table.

I remembered what Lu Cheng said: ordinary soldiers only get one or two ounces of pork a month.

It's really not easy for Jiang Wenjuan to put together such a feast.

Just as they were about to start eating, a child's shrill cry suddenly came from behind the Zhong family's house.

"That brat, he's been naughty again and got a beating from his father! Eat, eat, eat all you want, don't worry about him."

Zhong Weiguo spoke in a teasing tone, clearly used to it.

Lu Cheng first placed a piece of food on Jiang Moli's plate, then put down his chopsticks, walked to the back window, pushed open the windowpane, and called out to the door opposite:

"Old Li, the kid's being disobedient, a few more beatings will teach him a lesson!"

"Understood, Battalion Commander!"

Upon hearing the reply, Lu Cheng closed the window and returned to the dining table.

Zhong Weiguo teased him, "What did Gouwazi do to you? He's already been beaten up and you're adding fuel to the fire."

Seeing that Jiang Moli's bowl was empty, Lu Cheng put other dishes on her plate while replying to Zhong Weiguo:
"This little brat is getting more and more unruly; he needs to be disciplined."

Jiang Moli initially thought that Lu Cheng was just enjoying the show and making a scene.

Hearing him say that, she suddenly realized that the dog who got beaten up must be the brat who called her a jinx.

After answering Zhong Weiguo's question, Lu Cheng whispered an explanation to Jiang Moli:
"Old Li is the company commander in my battalion, and I watched his son grow up."

Jiang Moli suddenly realized. She knew it! Men aren't impulsive and reckless; why would they hit someone else's child in public and give others cause for gossip?

If you've watched your child grow up, then giving them a good beating isn't unreasonable.

She couldn't help but glance at the man.

She used to call him brainless, and he didn't even argue back, really.

Jiang Moli had no idea that Lu Cheng was so satisfied with being scolded by her that he forgot to explain himself.

Jiang Wenjuan continued, "When Gouwazi first moved into the family compound, he was quite well-behaved. But ever since his grandmother came to live with us these past two years, she has spoiled her grandson rotten, making him completely unruly."

Xu Juhua said, "That old lady is unreasonable and shrewish. She lets Gouwa steal the peanuts I planted, and she even scolds me for being greedy and capitalist. There's no way to reason with her."

Lu Cheng turned his head and said, "Sister-in-law Juhua, if this happens again, just tell me directly."

He paused, then added, "Dog Boy pulled up so many peanuts of yours. Calculate your losses, and I'll deduct some from Company Commander Li's allowance to compensate you."

Xu Juhua quickly replied, "No need, we didn't pull many, they're not worth much."

"If a son is not taught, it is the father's fault. If he cannot manage his son, then he should be the one to clean up his son's mess."

"Let's do as Lu Ying said. There's no order without rules. From now on, if any kid in the family quarters causes trouble, we'll handle it this way!"

Zhong Weiguo spoke, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Lu Cheng whispered to Jiang Moli, "Did you hear that? It'll be the same if you cause trouble in the future."

Jiang Moli scolded him, "I'm not a child."

Lu Cheng glanced at her chest, then smiled without saying a word.

Jiang Moli knew exactly what the man was implying, and scoffed, "I'm Little Red Riding Hood."

"How to say?"

"I'll tell you when I get back."

"it is good."

……

Dormitory door.

Jiang Qing glanced at Zhang Jiaming, who was late, and blurted out, "Why are you so late today? Did you practice again?"

The cafeteria serves meals at 6 p.m.

It's only a few minutes' walk from the camp to the dormitory, and it's already 6:30.

As Zhang Jiaming walked with her into the dormitory, he said, "There was no extra training. The army gave us extra meals, which took up a little time."

Jiang Qing's eyes lit up when she heard about the extra meal.

However, when they opened the lunchbox and saw that it contained beef sauce, they were immediately disappointed.

She thought it would be meat.

Moreover, there was only a tiny bit of beef sauce, barely enough for one person.

"Why is there only so little?"

Zhang Jiaming took out some peanuts from his pocket and asked her, "Would you like peanuts or beef sauce?"

Looking at the meager number of peanuts, Jiang Qing felt even more frustrated.

These days are so hard.

Seeing her unhappy face, Zhang Jiaming comforted her, "You've been here for so long, and I haven't even let you have a decent meal. You've suffered."

After he coaxed her, Jiang Qing's mood improved considerably.

"I'm willing to endure any hardship or exhaustion just to be with you. And I believe you won't let me suffer forever."

Gazing into her affectionate eyes, Zhang Jiaming couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart.

He looked around the dormitory and asked about Lu Tingting.

Upon learning that Lu Tingting had gone to Feng Meihua's for dinner, he immediately got up excitedly and closed the door and windows.

"Xiao Qing, I miss you, we... hehe!"

With that, he picked Jiang Qing up and carried her to the bed.

Jiang Qing blushed, feigning reluctance: "You're so annoying! What if Lu Tingting comes back and sees us?"

"Don't worry, I'll be quick."

Remembering Lu Tingting mentioning the red marks on Jiang Moli's neck and chest, she couldn't help but blurt out, "Actually, it didn't have to be so fast..."

Zhang Jiaming said seriously, "Hurry up and finish so we can eat. Aren't you hungry?"

What could Jiang Qing say?

Are you suggesting she say she's not hungry, doesn't want to eat, and just wants to be with you longer?

Two minutes later.

The two put on their pants and sat down at the small dining table to eat their still-steaming dinner.
