Chapter 329 His skin is thicker than usual

In the evening, Jiang Moli was awakened by the sound of children talking.

I got up and went to the window. The sun had already set, and the orange-red sunset painted the sky into a magnificent oil painting.

Two children were staring at her in surprise from the window of the room across the street.

Judging from their appearance, they are siblings. The older sister looks about eleven or twelve years old, and the younger brother is about seven or eight years old.

The older sister was holding a bright yellow banana; the two siblings must have been fighting over it.

Jiang Moli stretched her hand out the window, "Give me a banana."

Perhaps because she had never encountered an adult as shameless as Jiang Moli begging for food, the older sister hesitated for a moment before tossing the banana to her through the window.

Jiang Moli took the banana and peeled and ate it right in front of the siblings.

Dislike rating +1, 10000 yuan credited.

The younger brother pouted, "This is my banana! I'm going to tell Mom!"

She stormed out of the room in a huff.

"An An!"

The older sister turned to chase after her, but was stopped by Jiang Moli.

"Hey, what's your name?"

"Xu Yingzi".

"How old?"

"11 is old."

Jiang Moli took a bite of the sweet, soft banana, smiled at the other person, and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

Xu Yingzi shook her head, but in her heart she guessed that Jiang Moli might be Commander Lu's wife.

Commander Lu's wife is really beautiful. Her skin is as white as snow, with curved eyebrows and big eyes. She looks like a fairy in a painting.

Jiang Moli: "Take a guess."

Before Xu Yingzi could speak, Xu An'an, who had run out, ran back, followed by a woman in her thirties.

The woman wore a blue cloth shirt with diagonal buttons and black cloth trousers. Her hair was tied into a bun at the back of her head, and her eyebrows were relaxed. She had a simple and honest demeanor with a touch of competence.

"Mom, my sister ate my banana!"

Seeing that Jiang Moli had only half a banana left in her hand, Xu An'an was so angry she almost cried.

"Go outside and do your homework. If you don't finish, your dad will skin you alive when he gets back."

After shooing the siblings out of the room, the woman turned to Jiang Moli and exchanged pleasantries, "You must be Commander Lu's wife, right? My surname is Sun, and my husband is Political Commissar Xu."

"Hello, sister-in-law."

Jiang Moli smiled and sniffed, "What delicious food are you cooking for dinner, sister-in-law? It smells really good."

Sun Li laughed and said, "I made stewed tofu. You just arrived, so I'm afraid we haven't prepared all the utensils yet. If you don't mind, you can come over here for dinner tonight."

Jiang Moli smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I love tofu the most!"

Sun Li was being polite, but Jiang Moli was anything but. Her smile froze for a moment before she said:
"Okay, come over in a bit."

"okay."

……

After washing her face, brushing her teeth, and getting ready, Jiang Moli staggered out the door down the wooden stairs.

The family members of Deputy Regiment Commander Huo, who lived next door to the left, were collecting their clothes at the door.

Upon seeing Jiang Moli, Chen Guihua immediately stopped what she was doing and greeted her.

“I work at a tea plantation outside the town. As soon as I got back, I heard from the family members that Commander Lu’s wife had arrived. I was just saying that I would go over and say hello later.”

After all, Jiang Moli's man was her husband's superior, so Chen Guihua was very enthusiastic.

Jiang Moli asked curiously, "Really? What are they talking about me about? They're not gossiping about me, are they?"

Chen Guihua chuckled, "How could that be? Everyone praises your good looks, youth, and education. You're definitely going to be the most beautiful girl in our compound from now on!"

"Hmm, it seems our family members have sharp eyes after all."

After watching Jiang Moli enter Political Commissar Xu's house, several family members living nearby came out of their homes and surrounded Chen Guihua.

Upon learning that Jiang Moli readily accepted the title of "the most beautiful woman in the family compound" without the slightest modesty, everyone remarked on the extraordinary thick-skinnedness of the regimental commander's wife.

"Little Jiang, sit down for a while, have some tea, and we'll have dinner when Lao Xu comes back."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."

After greeting Jiang Moli, Sun Li returned to the kitchen to continue preparing dinner.

Jiang Moli sipped her tea while observing the Xu family.

The house structure is the same as theirs, the only difference is that the bedroom on the right has been divided into two small rooms.

Right now, the siblings are each sitting at their small desks in their own rooms doing their homework.

A short while later, footsteps could be heard coming upstairs.

Xu An'an threw down her pen, rushed out of the room like lightning, and ran to the corridor outside.

"Dad, my sister gave my banana to someone else!"

Xu Yingzi strode out of the room and stood at the living room door, shouting at Xu An'an, "Xu An'an, aren't you annoying? You keep bringing up such a trivial matter. I'll make you one tomorrow!"

Sun Li came out of the kitchen, stopped the siblings from arguing, and then introduced Jiang Moli to Xu Heming, who had just entered the room.

"Commander Lu's wife is here, Little Jiang, this is my husband, Lao Xu."

Jiang Moli stood up and greeted him, "Political Commissar Xu, I'm here to have dinner at your house tonight, sorry to bother you."

Xu Heming held the same position as Lu Cheng, but his military rank was one level higher.

"Of course, you're welcome, you're welcome."

Xu Heming smiled broadly, subtly sizing up Jiang Moli.

He was transferred from the 1st Regiment and had never met Jiang Moli before, but he had heard a lot of rumors and gossip about her.

Seeing him today, putting everything else aside, his appearance and demeanor are indeed extraordinary.

It's no wonder that someone as cold and arrogant as Lu Cheng would unconsciously show tenderness on his face when talking about his wife.

next door.

When Lu Cheng returned home and didn't see Jiang Moli, he was about to go out to look for her when he heard a familiar voice calling from the window next door: "Hey, looking for me?"

When he turned around and saw her, Lu Cheng visibly breathed a sigh of relief. "What are you doing over there? Come back for dinner."

Jiang Moli waved to him: "We're having dinner at the political commissar's house tonight, come over."

"Row."

Lu Cheng grabbed his lunchbox and hurried off to the Xu family's house.

Sun Li cooked three dishes: radish stew with tofu, stir-fried winter melon, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

In Menglong, serving three dishes in one meal is a sign of considerable hospitality.

After eating and drinking their fill, Jiang Moli and Lu Cheng went back to the house next door.

Xu Yingzi and her brother went back to their respective rooms to continue doing their homework, while Xu Heming helped Sun Li clear away the dishes.

Sun Li whispered to Xu Heming, "This Commander Lu's wife is really not shy at all."

Children always want to eat, so if you invite them to your house for a meal, they'll actually come.

Xu Heming said, "These relationships are built over time. Commander Lu is young but holds an important position, with a group of senior veterans under his command. If his wife is aloof and doesn't associate with the family, what good will that do for Commander Lu?"

Sun Li thought about it carefully and realized that it made perfect sense.

They've been here for almost a month, and their acquaintance with Lu Cheng is usually just nodding acquaintances.

This dinner tonight has actually brought the two families much closer together.

The next day, the sun rose three poles.

Several family members gathered by the well to wash clothes, gossiping while staring in the direction of Jiang Moli's house.

"Hey, it's almost 10 o'clock, and we still haven't seen Commander Lu's wife. Is she still asleep?"

"Most likely, our regimental commander's wife is quite pampered. When she went to Menghai to visit relatives, she did nothing but wait for Regimental Commander Lu to bring her meals from the canteen every day. Even her clothes were washed by Regimental Commander Lu."

What?
Why do wives not do housework but expect men to do their laundry?

Several family members found it unbelievable.
