Chapter 156 Jiaojiao
After fighting with Jiang Qing, Lu Tingting washed up, tidied herself up, and happily went out.

She still eats at Feng Meihua's house every day.

Shen Yanzhi also ate at Feng Meihua's house.

If you round it up, she and Shen Yanzhi can be considered "family" who eat at the same table.

Jiang Qing looked at the injuries on her face and neck in the mirror, and her heart ached with anger.

Lu Tingting is not only insane, but also ruthless.

She deeply regretted getting involved with Lu Tingting, that crazy woman, while simultaneously trying to comfort herself.

If we just endure a few more days, the Lu family will definitely send Lu Tingting back as soon as they receive the telegram.

……

In the evening, when Lu Cheng returned, he brought Jiang Moli a small black and brown puppy.

"Is that a German Shepherd? Where did it come from?"

Lu Cheng was somewhat surprised that Jiang Moli could recognize the breed of the dog.

German Shepherds are reserve police dogs for their unit; they are a relatively rare breed, and the average person rarely recognizes them.

However, this also shows that his wife is very knowledgeable.

"A while ago, the higher-ups sent a batch of puppies to the camp to train as police dogs. These are the ones that were retired. Would you like to keep them?"

The puppy, with its round body, struggled gently as it was transferred to Jiang Moli's hands.

Its dark, moist eyes looked around, weak, helpless, and uneasy.

Jiang Moli gently combed the puppy's back with her fingers.

Under her movements, the puppy gradually calmed down and raised its fluffy round head to look at her.

Why was it phased out?

"He's a bit slow to react and doesn't eat much."

The military has extremely high requirements for police dogs. In addition to excellent breeds and good health, they also have high requirements for the dogs' reactions, temperament, and adaptability.

A cat that loses its appetite just because it's in a new place is too delicate.

Jiang Moli patted the puppy's bottom and said reproachfully, "She's a girl, it's normal for her to be a little delicate, right?"

Whether the puppy understood or was shy because its butt had been seen, it rubbed its soft head against her palm.

Lu Cheng looked at her, his eyes smiling, "So, do you want to raise it?"

Jiang Moli stroked the puppy's head and asked, "If I don't keep it, what are you going to do with it?"

"We'll see if anyone in the family quarters wants it. If no one wants it, we'll have to give it to the villagers down the mountain."

These days, owning a dog is not an easy thing.

After all, people can't even get enough to eat, let alone have enough to feed dogs.

Jiang Moli didn't have the pressure of feeding the dog, but she was going back in a while, and she couldn't take the dog with her on the train.

Seeing her concerns, Lu Cheng said, "If you like it, then keep it for now. We can talk about the future later."

As I said this, I couldn't help but start having wonderful dreams.

Maybe his wife will change her mind in a few days and be willing to stay and accompany him to the army. Then he can build a big and beautiful courtyard, and this dog can be tied up in the courtyard to guard the gate.

Tonight's dinner is potato and mixed grain rice, and cucumber stewed with tofu.

There weren't any extra bowls in the room, so Jiang Moli could only scoop some food and place it at the puppy's feet.

The puppy took a couple of bites and then refused to eat anymore.

Thinking that it might be thirsty, Jiang Moli filled a washbasin with some water and fed it.

The puppy licked the water twice and then stopped drinking, tilting its round head back to look at her.

Jiang Moli's heart softened at the puppy's wet eyes, and she couldn't help but tap its head with her finger. "You're so delicate. I'll call you Jiaojiao from now on."

The puppy wagged its tail, turned around, and began to explore the room with its nose.

"Let's eat, don't worry about it."

Lu Cheng greeted Jiang Moli, but his eyes secretly glanced at the puppy.

This little thing is quite good at attracting people; I should have known better than to bring it back.

Humph.

……

Military family home.

Li Hongying was cooking in the hallway while chatting with her neighbors. She and Jiang Dahai had been living there for over a month. Both of them were good-tempered and always compromised, so they got along well with their neighbors.

"Old Jiang is back, what good stuff is he carrying!"

"My daughter sent some local specialties back from the military base."

"Oh my, your daughter is so filial."

Hearing Jiang Dahai talking to someone, Li Hongying quickly turned her head to look.

Jiang Dahai was seen carrying a burlap sack on his shoulder, carefully avoiding the residents cooking in the hallway as he returned this way.

She quickly put down the spatula and stepped forward to help Jiang Dahai catch the food.

Jiang Dahai waved his hand at her, "No need, just keep an eye on the pot, or the food will burn."

"Oh, then be careful."

Li Hongying returned to the stove, stirring the vegetables in the wok with her hands, but her eyes were fixed on the thing on Jiang Dahai's shoulder.

This bag is so big, I wonder if Xiao Qing sent her anything back.

Thinking about it, he hurriedly took the dishes out of the pot and brought them into the house.

Jiang Dahai used scissors to open the sack and placed the items one by one on the table.

"This is tea, a ten-year aged Pu'er tea. Hmm, it smells quite good."

Li Hongying looked at him and said, "You can smell it even through the paper?"

"Fermented tea, over time, the flavor seeps through the paper. Smell it!"

Li Hongying took it, smelled it, and nodded repeatedly: "It really smells good!"

"right."

Jiang Dahai smiled so hard his eyes were wrinkled, and he continued to rummage through the sack.

"This is also tea, it's white tea! This is Menghai tea!"

Li Hongying was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of tea. "So much tea! It'll take forever to drink it all!"

"They're all ripe tea; the longer they're stored, the more fragrant they become. They won't spoil."

Hearing Jiang Dahai say this, Li Hongying nodded hurriedly.

She didn't know what ripe Pu-erh tea was, so she simply kept quiet and watched.

Besides tea, there are also various dried fruits, Dai brocade, and Dai medicine.

There wasn't enough room on the dining table, so we had to put them on the sofa.

Jiang Dahai was grinning from ear to ear, but Li Hongying felt uneasy.

So many things, but not a single one was sent back by my daughter.

She wasn't greedy; it's just that her daughter had been in the army for almost two months and hadn't even written a single letter back to her.

In contrast, the stepdaughter was much more filial.

After getting married, she would frequently go back to her parents' home to collect things. Even when visiting her family at the military base, she would send food and drinks back home.

No wonder outsiders say bad things about her daughter; even she, her own mother, thinks her daughter is quite heartless.

"With so many good things, they shouldn't just be for us, right? Shouldn't we send some to our in-laws as well?"

Reminded by Li Hongying, Jiang Dahai felt a sudden unease.

Given the daughter's habit of stealing eggs from her in-laws for him to eat, this time it's likely that the money was spent by her son-in-law as well.

Put yourself in his shoes. If his daughter-in-law was lazy and always taking money and things from her husband's family to her own, he wouldn't feel comfortable either!
Immediately, he began packing the items into the sack, keeping only a small portion for himself.

They didn't even have time for dinner before carrying the sack to the Lu family's house.

When he arrived, the Lu family was just about to have dinner.

Lu Dezhao chuckled and invited him in, then turned to Ma Hongmei in the kitchen and instructed, "Sister-in-law, your father-in-law is here, cook an extra dish."

Jiang Dahai hurriedly said, "No need, no need, my family has already prepared it. I'll just put the things down and go back."

Lu Dezhao looked at the sack in his hand and felt that it looked very familiar.

He said politely, "What good stuff is it that you sent it over in such a hurry?"

Jiang Dahai put the sack in the living room and explained to Lu Dezhao and An Hui with a smile, "Xiao Lu and Moli sent some things back from the army to my place. I kept some for myself, and the rest are here."

Lu Dezhao and An Hui looked at each other.
