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

Chapter 233 Returning to Mother’s Home

Jiang Moli smiled and pinched Qian Ling's cheek. "I didn't specifically think of you; I just brought it along."

"Even if it's just a side effect, I'm happy."

Qian Ling smiled as she stuffed the cured meat into her handbag.

Jiang Moli looked up and saw a tall figure standing in front of her.

Yang Liqiong, with a green military satchel slung over her shoulder, looked at her with a mocking gaze.

Jiang Moli smiled and waved, "Good morning, Deputy Regiment Commander Yang."

After Yang Liqiong waited for her to approach, she walked with her into the cultural troupe.

"When did you come back?"

It arrived last night.

As Jiang Moli spoke, she took out another oil paper package from her bag, exactly the same one she had given to Qian Ling.

"Deputy Regiment Commander Yang, this is cured pork from Gulin. I know you don't like fatty meat, so I specially picked out lean pieces for you."

Yang Liqiong took the oil paper package and weighed it in her hand, saying with an ambiguous expression, "You've already prepared the dishes, wouldn't it be unreasonable for me not to invite you to dinner?"

Jiang Moli smiled and said, "That would be great, but I'm not free tonight. I have to go back to my parents' house to see my father. I can do it tomorrow night."

Yang Liqiong neither confirmed nor denied, saying, "I'm busy these days, let's talk about it when I have time."

Jiang Moli: "Isn't waiting a kind of happiness?"

Yang Liqiong glanced at her and said, "Think about where you want to eat first, and let me know when you've decided. I'm going to my office now."

"okay."

After Yang Liqiong walked away, Qian Ling looked at Jiang Moli with envy: "Moli, Deputy Regiment Commander Yang is so good to you. Not only did she give you a cadre meal at noon, but she also treated you to a good restaurant."

Jiang Moli smiled in response, "Am I not good to you?"

Qian Ling smiled and took her arm, "You're good to me too, hehe."

Not far behind the two, a group of female members of a drama troupe were walking.

"Look at them, they know how to treat people differently. They're arrogant in front of us, but like a lapdog in front of the leaders."

"Otherwise, why would Deputy Regiment Commander Yang use a script written by a newcomer like her?"

"Pah! Shameless!"

"Disdain value +4, 40000 yuan credited."

……

After getting off work, Jiang Moli took Langjiu liquor and cured meat back to the military family compound.

When I arrived at the entrance of the residential compound, I ran into Jiang Dahai, who was on his way home from get off work.

Jiang Dahai was both surprised and delighted. "When did you get back? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

Jiang Moli: "What, is there something you're hiding in your family?"

Jiang Dahai scolded her, "Nonsense, there's no food at home, I'll go buy some."

He was about to turn the car around when Jiang Moli stopped him, saying, "No need, I've brought the wine and food. I'll have a good drink with you tonight."

Jiang Dahai then noticed what she was holding, feeling both happy and somewhat uneasy.

"Your in-laws know you brought all these things back, right?"

"If they find out, it'll be terrible. I took it secretly. Come on, let's hurry home so no one sees us."

Jiang Dahai: “…”

Several family members happened to be passing by and, upon hearing Jiang Moli's words, immediately cast strange glances at her.

Stealing things from her in-laws' house to take back to her parents' home—how shameless!
"Disdain value +3, 30000 yuan credited."

Back home, looking at the Langjiu liquor and cured meat on the table, Jiang Dahai felt uneasy, like a thief.

"You should take your things back." Jiang Moli teased, "What, you don't like Langjiu? Just make do with it, I'll steal a bottle of Wuliangye for you next time."

"You dare! You're not allowed to bring your in-laws' things home again, or I'll chop your hand off!"

Seeing that Jiang Dahai was getting anxious, Jiang Moli explained with a smile, "Don't worry, the wine was bought by my father-in-law. He asked me to bring a bottle back for you to try, and the cured meat was bought with my own money."

Jiang Moli took half a pound each of cured pork and sausage, and had Li Hongying cook them for an evening snack. She asked Jiang Dahai to find a well-ventilated place to hang the rest.

In winter, when the temperature is low, there's no need to worry about cured meats and sausages spoiling; they can be eaten until the following spring without any problems.

Before dinner was ready, Jiang Moli opened the Langjiu liquor, poured two small glasses, and drank with Jiang Dahai while eating peanuts.

Langjiu is a sauce-flavored liquor with a rich aroma and a smooth taste.

Jiang Dahai was in high spirits and showed Jiang Moli the results of his research over the past period.

Jiang Dahai's research focuses on improving the hydraulic systems of low-power tractors.

Current small-scale tractors use direct-acting valves.

This system has significant drawbacks such as low efficiency, slow response, and short oil pump lifespan.

Based on the new technology ideas provided by Jiang Moli, Jiang Dahai developed a new type of pilot-operated return oil valve.

This type of oil valve can control pressure more precisely, reduce energy waste, thereby saving fuel consumption and significantly improving the operating efficiency of the tractor.

Of course, these studies are currently just theoretical discussions on paper, and the next step is to verify and improve them through practice.

Jiang Dahai patted the half-inch-thick stack of documents and notes with delight: "When Director Yang comes back from his business trip in a couple of days, I'll show him the results. These past few days, there's been talk in the factory about building new staff housing. With this, I might actually be able to get a housing allocation."

Jiang Dahai's joy was palpable, and his eyes shone brightly.

He and Li Hongying lived here, seemingly at ease on the surface, but in reality, they were far from at peace.

They were afraid of causing trouble for their son-in-law and in-laws.

His motivation for staying up late every day to study and seeking advice from others was all in order to get a housing allocation from the factory.

Now that the goal is right in front of him, it's hard for him not to be happy.

Before the cured meat was even served, Jiang Dahai was already so drunk he was incoherent.

After helping Jiang Dahai to bed to rest, Jiang Moli and Li Hongying ate together.

In winter, it gets dark early; by the time you've finished eating, it's already completely dark.

Li Hongying escorted her back to the military compound. "Jasmine, there's still a lot of food left over from tonight. Can I give some to Xiaoqing? She has exams next month and has been staying up late every day. I'm worried her health won't be able to handle it."

Hearing Li Hongying say that, Jiang Moli remembered.

In the original story, Jiang Qing, as the female protagonist, was admitted to university.

"From now on, just ask my dad about these kinds of things."

Li Hongying hurriedly said, "You're the one who brought the things back, so I should at least let you know."

After dropping Jiang Moli off, Li Hongying returned home and went to Jiang Dahai's room first.

Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, I didn't wake him. I packed some rice, cured meat and sausages in a lunchbox and went out.

By the time Li Hongying arrived at Jiang Qing's residence, the cured pork and sausages had already solidified into white lard due to the cold.

Jiang Qing didn't mind at all and wolfed down her food.

"What a wonderful day it is today, that we're eating so well."

"The cured meat was brought back by Jasmine from visiting relatives in Luzhou. She also brought some wine. Your Uncle Jiang was so happy that he drank a couple more cups and went to sleep without eating."

"What's there for him to be happy about?"

Li Hongying was cooking in the hallway and didn't hear much, only knowing that Jiang Dahai's research had made progress.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qing said, "You go back first. I've washed the lunchbox and will bring it back to you tomorrow."

Li Hongying also wanted to go back to take care of Jiang Dahai as soon as possible, so she gave her a few words of advice and then got up and left.
