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

Chapter 289 It's not like I was born into the wrong family.

"Hey, your water!"

After pouring the water, Lu Tingting handed the cup to Jiang Moli with a disgruntled expression.

Jiang Moli didn't take it, but instead opened the medicine bottle and poured out three pills.

"Ah, open your mouth."

"You do it, uh..."

Before Lu Tingting could finish her question, Jiang Moli stuffed a pill into her mouth.

"Drink water, swallow it."

Upon hearing Jiang Moli's words, Lu Tingting subconsciously raised her cup, drank water, and swallowed the pills.

After finishing the food, she realized, "Why did you feed me medicine? I'm not sick!"

"It will be too late to eat it when you are sick. If you really catch a cold, you will only be able to drink porridge during the New Year."

Lu Tingting looked at her and asked, "Why are you so concerned about me?"

Jiang Moli smiled and patted her head: "My mother never let me play with idiots when I was little, but if it's you, it doesn't matter if you're mentally challenged, have cerebral palsy, or are a little turtle."

Lu Tingting angrily pushed her hand away, "You're the one who's mentally challenged!"

Jiang Moli glanced at her watch. "Alright, it's time to go back for dinner. Let's go, Xiaozhi."

"I won't eat it; it's just a waste of food anyway!"

Her voice was puffed out, clearly still angry about Fann Wong's insults.

Jiang Moli looked at her curiously, "What, did you get good grades in exams before?"

Lu Tingting kept a straight face and didn't say a word.

Although her grades weren't particularly good from childhood to adulthood, this was the first time she had ever ranked last.

Jiang Moli said, "You just got the questions wrong, it's not like you were born into the wrong family. Even if you get the lowest score, it won't affect the fact that you are the eldest daughter of the Lu family. Being born into the right family is a skill. As long as you don't commit crimes, murder, or arson, your life won't be bad."

"Many people work hard their whole lives and still can't live in this military compound, but you were born here. Your starting point is other people's finish line. It's understandable that you're a little slow. We can't let you have all the advantages. You have to give others a way to survive."

After being comforted (brainwashed) by Jiang Moli, Lu Tingting's depression vanished.

That's right. She's young and beautiful, talented and from a good family. So what if her grades aren't great?
So he happily followed Jiang Moli out the door.

At the Lu family's house, the food, dishes, bowls, and chopsticks were all laid out on the table, waiting for Jiang Moli and Lu Tingting to return so they could eat.

Lu Haoyu was assigned to keep watch at the gate of the courtyard. When he saw Jiang Moli and Lu Tingting return, he turned around and ran inside.

"Grandma, my third aunt and my sister are back together!"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere at home immediately relaxed.

The adults were relieved that Lu Tingting was alright, and the children were happy that they could finally eat!

Today is both the Little New Year and a welcome feast for Jiang Moli and Lu Cheng. There's a full range of dishes, including chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and everyone is already craving them.

When she first entered, Lu Tingting was a little awkward, but seeing that neither Fan Wenfang nor Lu Yuan said anything to her, she relaxed.

Take your seats and let's eat.

Jiang Moli was used to sitting next to An Hui, so Lu Tingting sat down on her other side.

When Lu Cheng saw that there was no empty seat next to his wife, he gestured for Lu Tingting to give up her seat: "You can sit in another seat."

Lu Tingting was unwilling, "I want to sit here!"

Seeing the uncle and nephew arguing over seats, An Hui had no choice but to get up and give up her seat.

"Third brother, please sit here."

Lu Cheng sat down next to his wife, his joy evident in his expression.

We were all family, so there were no formalities. We sat down and started eating right away.

The Lu family doesn't have a rule about not talking while eating. It's rare for the whole family to get together for the New Year, so it's inevitable that they'll chat about everyday matters.

As they were talking, they began to discuss the exam results of their nephews.

Lu Haoyu is 15 years old and in his third year of junior high school. Lu Chaoyang is one year younger than him and is in his second year of junior high school.

Lu Nana and Lu Qianqian are in sixth grade and third grade respectively. The siblings, Lu Haoyu and Lu Qianqian, are both academically outstanding, which Fann Wong greatly admires.

Jiang Moli turned to Lu Tingting and asked, "Was your performance as a volunteer teacher in Menghai counted in your practical achievements?"

Lu Tingting was taken aback. "Does this count too?"

"Yes, why not?"

Hearing her say that, the whole family looked over.

Ma Hongmei said, "If we include teaching in rural areas in the practical performance evaluation, wouldn't Tingting's ranking go up a bit?"

Jiang Moli said, "Absolutely. Tingting's performance as a teacher at the military academy is quite good. She also participated in performances to promote legal education. This is much more meaningful than her farming and pig-raising practice."

Then he turned to Lu Tingting and said, "I give you 99 points for your performance in Menghai. I'm deducting one point because I'm afraid you'll get arrogant."

Lu Tingting tried hard to suppress the smile from her lips, but she was secretly happy inside.

She is also a contributor!

Jiang Moli then said to her other nephews and nieces, "Everyone has their own value. If you get good grades, study harder and serve your country in the future. If you don't get good grades, eat well and sleep well and be filial to your parents when you grow up."

"Well said!" Lu Cheng and Lu Dezhao praised almost simultaneously.

Ma Hongmei smiled and gave Jiang Moli a thumbs up: "The way cultured people speak is just different. For a person, peace and health are the greatest blessings."

An Hui nodded repeatedly, her gaze towards Jiang Moli filled with tenderness.

The third son's wife's words truly touched her heart.

Lu Yuan picked up his teacup. "Third sister-in-law, I am twice your age, but I am not as insightful as you. This cup of tea is a toast to you and my third brother. I wish you happiness and a long and happy life together."

"Thank you, brother."

Jiang Moli picked up her glass and said, "Brother, I also wish you and your sister-in-law a happy new year and all the best."

Lu Dezhao picked up his glass and cheered, "Everyone, come on, let's clink glasses!"

"cheers!"

"I hope that in the coming new year, our whole family will be healthy, prosperous, and all our wishes will come true!"

Laughter and cheerful voices filled the entire house.

……

Jiang Dahai was overjoyed to see his son after not seeing him for half a year, and specially took Jiang Peng out to a restaurant, ordering a table full of dishes.

Jiang Peng ate like a starving dog scrambling for food, but Jiang Dahai didn't mind at all and even helped him pick out some food.

"Eat more. You're as skinny as a monkey. Don't they feed you in the army?"

Jiang Peng took a moment to reply from his busy schedule: "I'm not full, and there's no meat."

Jiang Dahai's gaze fell on his hands.

More than half a month has passed, and the scar is still clearly visible, which makes him both heartbroken and relieved. Just as he was about to ask what happened, a voice came from behind him:
"Oh, Director Jiang, you're eating here too?"

Upon recognizing the man as the office director from the same unit, Jiang Dahai quickly stood up to exchange pleasantries with him and asked Jiang Peng to get up and greet him.

"Hello, Director Liu."

Director Liu looked Jiang Peng up and down. "Good, good, Director Jiang, your son is really good. He looks like a promising young man."

Jiang Dahai said modestly, "Director Liu, you flatter me."

Director Liu chuckled and looked at Jiang Peng again. "I think he's not very old, and he probably doesn't have a girlfriend yet, right?"

Jiang Dahai was pondering whether the other party had any designs on his son when Jiang Peng himself replied:

"I have a boyfriend, who's in the military just like me."

"Oh, haha, not bad, not bad!"

After Director Liu left, Jiang Dahai sat down and looked at his son suspiciously: "You're dating someone?"

Jiang Peng said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Ah, her name is Tang Xiaoyue. I'll bring her back for you to see next year."

Jiang Dahai: “…”
