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

Chapter 172 Following the Army
After Lu Cheng sat down, Jiang Moli handed him the remaining large chicken leg.

Lu Cheng reluctantly declined, saying, "You eat it. I bought it especially for you. Last time, Tingting and Xiaopeng ate most of the bamboo tube chicken, but you didn't get to eat many pieces."

Jiang Moli directly held the chicken leg to his mouth, "Ah, open your mouth!"

Lu Cheng opened his mouth and bit into the chicken leg.

She's kind of well-behaved and kind of cute.

"You won't listen to gentle persuasion, so you insist on having to use force, huh?"

Lu Cheng happily took the chicken leg. "Then I'll eat it?"

Jiang Moli said, "If you don't eat it next time I offer it to you, I'll feed it to the dog."

Jiaojiao, engrossed in eating chicken bones, raised her chubby head and woofed, "Woof woof?"

Lu Cheng kicked him aside, saying, "What's it to you? Get out of here."

"Wang! Wang Wang!"

"Shut up."

"Wang!"

Lu Cheng turned to Jiang Moli and complained, "Look at this little rascal, he's just trying to annoy me. Maybe we should just give him away to someone else to raise."

Jiang Moli sarcastically remarked, "You, a dignified battalion commander, can't even tolerate a dog?"

Lu Cheng compromised, saying, "Then don't bring it with you when you go out in the future."

He didn't even get to go out with his wife, but the dog got to enjoy himself first, even eating the roast chicken he bought for his wife.

Annoying.

After finishing the roast chicken, Lu Cheng went down to the river to catch ants and shrimp, and soon the wooden bucket was full.

The four of them took Lu Cheng's car back.

In the car, Jiang Moli looked at the puppy lying lazily at her feet and couldn't help but say, "So you're not a picky eater, you just eat the best food."

They ate the entire chicken skeleton, leaving their little bellies round and full.

Jiaojiao wagged her little tail sweetly.

Lu Cheng snorted, "Don't spoil it. Let it go hungry for three days and three nights, and see if it will still eat."

Jiang Moli thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you see if anyone wants to keep it? Anyway, I'll be going back in a while."

Before Lu Cheng could speak, the two young soldiers sitting in the back row began to persuade Jiang Moli, one after the other:

"Sister-in-law, it's rare for you to come to the army base, why don't you stay a little longer before going back?"

"Sister-in-law, why don't you just stay and join the army? Although we're poor here, there's plenty of wild game in the mountains, and we can't eat all the mushrooms we want."

Good lads, I didn't feed you meat for nothing!
Lu Cheng secretly credited the two of them for their service, then turned to meet Jiang Moli's teasing gaze and blurted out, "I'm clearing myself of this!"

"I didn't teach them."

Xiao Tang said, "Sister-in-law, Lu Ying has been happy every day since you came. Now that you're gone, Lu Ying will be all alone sleeping on the cold kang again."

Jiang Moli turned around and teased Xiao Tang, "Why don't you move in after I leave? With such a considerate little soldier like you to keep you company, your battalion commander won't be lonely."

Xiao Tang: "..."

"How are you going to eat this huge bucket of shrimp?"

Lu Cheng spoke up to change the subject.

Although he really wanted his wife to stay, he would respect her choice and ideas.

Jiang Moli replied, "I'll send the shrimp to Commander Zhong's house first and keep them in clean water for a while. Have you bought everything on the list?"

"Yes, I bought it."

Upon arriving at the gate of the family quarters, Ge Dayong returned to the barracks first, while Xiao Tang helped carry the shrimp to the Zhong family's house.

……

After Zhang Jiaming finished mailing the letter at the logistics department, he ran into Ge Dayong, who was returning to the camp.

"Dayong, you're covered in mud, where have you been?"

"Lu Ying asked me and Tangyuan to help my sister-in-law catch ants and shrimp in the river down the mountain."

Zhang Jiaming asked in bewilderment, "Why are you grabbing that thing?"

"I don't know, my sister-in-law told me to catch them. She caught a whole bucketful. Tangyuan helped Lu Ying take it to Zhong Tuan's house, so I came back first. Oh, right, Lu Ying even treated Tangyuan and me to roast chicken, hehe!"

Zhang Jiaming patted Ge Dayong on the shoulder, feeling a mix of emotions. A few months ago, Lu Cheng often took him along when he went out, treating him to good food.

He hadn't enjoyed such treatment in a long time.

……

Although Jiang Wenjuan didn't think shrimp were edible, she still followed Jiang Moli's request, clearing out two large wooden basins, filling them with clean water, and raising the shrimp.

Lu Cheng had to return to the camp to report, so Jiang Moli led Jiao Jiao back to the guesthouse first.

Under the large banyan tree next to the guesthouse, Yang Liqiong was directing the members of the cultural troupe in rehearsing their performance.

The entire group consisted of young female soldiers, all graceful and energetic, their swaying waists a truly delightful sight.

If you don’t see it, you won’t see it.

Jiang Moli found a shady spot and watched with great interest.

A short while later, Lu Tingting returned from get out of class.

Jiaojiao wagged her tail enthusiastically and greeted her on her four short little legs.

Lu Tingting happily scooped Jiao Jiao into her arms, and suddenly smelled a meaty fragrance emanating from Jiao Jiao.

What did you feed Jiaojiao?

"Oh, roast chicken."

You didn't even invite her to eat roast chicken!
Even the dogs got to eat, but she didn't. Was she even less than a dog?
Seeing Lu Tingting's angry and unhappy expression, Jiang Moli said, "I called you, but you didn't go."

"You didn't say you wanted roast chicken!"

Jiang Moli chuckled and pinched her cheek. "Alright, I'll treat you to something delicious tonight."

Lu Tingting slapped her hand away, "I'm not going!"

"You really don't want to go?"

"Yes, I'm not going!"

After saying that, she took the puppy back to the guesthouse.

She's been fooled by Jiang Moli too many times already, she won't fall for it again!
At noon, Jiang Qing went to the camp gate to pick up her lunchbox as usual.

Seeing Zhang Jiaming's sullen face, she instinctively asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did your boss scold you?"

Zhang Jiaming hesitated for a moment, then said, "Never mind, I won't say anything more. From now on, I'll give you an extra ounce of food at every meal. Eat more and don't let our child go hungry."

Ignoring the child's question, Jiang Qing said, "Jiaming, you have to tell me anything. Only by working together can we make a good life for each other."

Zhang Jiaming was already feeling down, and after hearing what she said, he immediately poured out all his troubles.

Upon learning that he had been neglected by Lu Cheng for some time, Jiang Qing panicked:

"Why didn't you tell me about something this big sooner?"

Before Zhang Jiaming could answer, he impatiently asked, "When did it start?"

Zhang Jiaming looked at her and said, "Before you came to the army, you wrote me a letter saying that Jiang Moli was causing trouble at home. I told Battalion Commander Lu about it, and he was quite unhappy at the time. After you came to the army, you did so many annoying things. Battalion Commander Lu must be extremely disappointed in me."

Jiang Qing felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Without Lu Cheng's support, wouldn't Zhang Jiaming have been unable to be promoted to platoon leader?
What will she do then? Does she really have to work for the school for free for the rest of her life?
Despite the bright sunshine overhead, Jiang Qing felt icy cold inside.

Her husband was promoted to officer; was her dream of following him to the military just shattered like this?

She couldn't accept that she had indirectly caused her husband's future to be ruined.

No, it wasn't her fault!
It must have been Jiang Moli who whispered in Lu Cheng's ear and ruined Zhang Jiaming's future.

Jiang Moli is such a vicious woman!

……

After waking up from her afternoon nap, Jiang Moli went to the Zhong family's house to process shrimp with Jiang Wenjuan.

Jiang Moli's method is very simple: just use a brush to clean the mud off the shrimp.

As for the delicate work of cutting off the heads and removing the shrimp veins, it would take her and Jiang Wenjuan until dark to finish two large basins of shrimp.

Fortunately, the river was quite clean, unlike in later generations when it was full of garbage and sewage, so there was no concern about heavy metal pollution.

While processing the shrimp, Jiang Wenjuan chatted with Jiang Moli:
"Xiao Jiang, why don't you join the army? It would be so much better to settle down here with Xiao Lu."
