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

Chapter 232 Mental Illness Isn't Contagious
"You need someone to pour you water? You're so lazy!"

Lu Tingting grumbled as she turned to pour her some water.

Jiang Moli said to her back, "You're not just anyone, you're one of us, my little cutie."

That damn woman is all sweet talk and flattery.

Call her "Little Cutie" when you need her, and "Silly Girl" when you don't.

snort!
Lu Tingting quickly brought over a bowl of tea. "Drink up."

Jiang Moli took the tea and glanced at it. "Hey, you didn't spit in it, did you?"

Lu Tingting's eyes widened in anger, "Am I that bad?!"

Jiang Moli held the bowl to Lu Tingting's lips, "Then you should drink a couple of sips first."

Lu Tingting retorted angrily, "Drink it or don't, it's up to you!"

Jiang Moli then held the bowl to An Hui's lips, "Mom, you drink."

An Hui pushed the bowl away and walked forward: "I'm going to talk to your dad about something. You guys enjoy your drinks."

Watching An Hui's retreating figure, Jiang Moli said to Lu Tingting, "See? Even Grandma doesn't believe you."

Lu Tingting was furious. She snatched the bowl and gulped down two big mouthfuls.

Jiang Moli brought the teacup back. "Okay, that's enough. Don't finish it. I want more."

Staring at Jiang Moli as she drank her tea, Lu Tingting retorted irritably, "I've already had some, and you don't mind?"

Jiang Moli wiped her mouth. "It's okay, mental illness isn't contagious."

Lu Tingting was furious.

……

The dishes served at lunch were quite ordinary, but that's how things are in the countryside, so there's not much to say.

Jiang Moli hadn't digested the hand-pulled noodles and cured meat from the morning, so she didn't have much of an appetite. She wanted to have a drink, but An Hui stopped her, afraid that she would get drunk and cause trouble.

Jiang Moli just sat there cracking sunflower seeds and listening to the older generation bragging and chatting.

After the meal, the relatives all helped clean up.

Aside from the tables and chairs being borrowed, the dishes were also brought by various families, washed clean, and then taken back by their respective owners.

After having tea with his brothers-in-law, Lu Dezhao took his leave.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, it's getting late, we should go."

Several of his brothers-in-law tried their best to persuade him to stay: "You and An Hui have come all this way, why don't you stay a couple more days before going back?"

Lu Dezhao said politely, "We'll come back when we have time in the future."

"When will we get here? We look forward to your and Anhui coming back every year, but you always make excuses about being too busy with work. Now that you've finally come back, you're rushing back again."

Jiang Moli said with a smile, "Dad, since our uncles are reluctant to part with us, let's stay a couple more days. There are still several old hens in Aunt's chicken coop, so let's eat one each time and then leave."

My aunt's face turned green.

The eldest uncle didn't try to stop Lu Dezhao. "Since you're in such a hurry to go back, we won't keep you any longer, lest we delay your important business."

Jiang Moli: "Actually, we're not in such a hurry. I think the rabbits my second aunt raises are quite good. I really like braised rabbit meat."

My second uncle and aunt both felt a twitch in their eyelids.

My second uncle immediately said, "Have you packed your things? I'll take you to the main road to catch a tractor."

Soon, the family of four was put on a tractor by several uncles and aunts.

As the tractor rumbled away into the distance, the An family breathed a collective sigh of relief.

That troublemaker is finally gone!
On the tractor, Lu Dezhao teased Jiang Moli, "Your uncle and aunt probably never want you to come to Anjia Village again in this lifetime."

They've only been here for less than two days, and they've already slaughtered chickens, smashed bowls, and almost kidnapped the eldest brother's granddaughter-in-law.

It's like bandits invading a village!
Jiang Moli smiled and said, "Being liked by them doesn't do me any good."

Lu Dezhao and An Hui exchanged a glance, both agreeing that their third son's wife's words were insightful and philosophical.

Little did they know, Jiang Moli was only interested in earning "dislike points," with each dislike point worth 1 yuan.

Compared to real money, what does liking something even matter?
……

Upon arriving in town, the family of four settled into a guesthouse.

There is only one bus from Gulin Town to the city in the morning.

After putting their luggage away, with plenty of time before dark, the four of them strolled around the town, buying some local specialties along the way.

Lu Dezhao bought a case of Langjiu liquor, and An Hui bought ten jin of handmade noodles.

Jiang Moli actually quite likes the cured pork from Gulin.

The cooked cured pork is sliced ​​thinly, its color a bright yellow, glossy and enticing. It has a rich, mellow flavor, not greasy at all, and carries a unique, delicate aroma.

The reason it has such a good flavor is that the pork is marinated with locally brewed white wine and smoked with cypress branches.

Besides cured pork, there are also cured sausages, cured chicken, cured duck, and so on.

Jiang Moli selected quite a few items in one go.

When paying, she turned to Lu Tingting and asked, "Did you bring any money?"

"what?"

Jiang Moli brought some cured meat and sausages to her, saying, "You pay for these."

"Why should I? It's not like I wanted to buy it!"

Jiang Moli looked her up and down. "You're so grown up now, and you don't even buy anything for your mom when you go out? Your mom has raised you for nothing."

Lu Tingting was speechless.

He honestly took out all the money he had and bought the cured meat and sausages in front of him.

Lu Dezhao and An Hui exchanged a glance, both seeing relief on each other's faces.

The third son's wife has raised her granddaughter to be more and more sensible.

The next morning at 7:30, the family of four took a bus to the city, and then took a train for several hours, arriving in Chengdu at around 10 p.m.

Jiang Xiaoguang drove the four people from the train station back to the compound.

When Lu Tingting returned home, Fan Wenfang opened the door for her.

When I took her backpack, I couldn't help but grumble, "What's in it? It's so heavy!"

"It's cured pork and sausage."

Upon hearing this, Fann Wong opened her bag and took the items out to prevent them from developing an odor if left in the bag for too long.

The cured pork and sausages were wrapped very tightly in oil paper.

Fann Wong opened a package, smelled it, and exclaimed, "It smells really good. Did Grandma give it to you?"

"No."

Meeting Fan Wenfang's questioning gaze, Lu Tingting said awkwardly, "I bought it for you. This cured meat is quite delicious."

Fann Wong paused for two seconds, as if she had been stunned, before letting out a soft "Oh".

"I'm going to wash up."

"Tingting."

As soon as Lu Tingting turned around, she was embraced by Fann Wong.

The warm and familiar embrace made her nose tingle.

Mom hasn't hugged her like this in a long time; it must have been after her younger sister and brother were born.

But why has Mom gotten shorter and thinner?

When she was little, she especially loved being held by her mother because her mother's embrace was both large and warm.

Mom seems to have aged.

This realization made Lu Tingting feel a pang of sadness and a heavy feeling in her heart.

"Tingting, you've grown up and become more sensible."

Looking into Fann Wong's kind and gentle eyes, Lu Tingting realized for the first time that making elders happy was a wonderful thing.

……

The next day, Jiang Moli took the bus to work at the performing arts troupe.

Qian Ling boarded the train at the Railway Bureau Family Compound station.

As the weather gradually got colder, Qian Ling stopped riding her bicycle.

Qian Ling squeezed next to Jiang Moli, her face beaming with joy, "Moli, you're back from visiting relatives? Was Luzhou fun?"

Jiang Moli nodded, "It's fun, I'll take you next time."

"Okay!"

When they arrived at the cultural troupe station, Jiang Moli took out the local specialties she had prepared for Qian Ling from her bag after getting off the train.

"Curved pork? It smells so good! Jasmine, you're so sweet, even when you're visiting home you still think of me!"

There wasn't much cured meat, only about a pound, but the sentiment behind it was a wonderful surprise and touched me deeply.

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy Dragon Boat Festival! Have you all eaten zongzi (sticky rice dumplings)?
