Chapter 330 Luck is also a manifestation of strength

"If he marries a wife who does nothing at home, Commander Lu is probably worshipping a living ancestor."

"Who says it isn't?"

"Hey, stop talking, she's out!"

Upon hearing the reminder, several family members looked towards Jiang Moli's house.

Jiang Moli slowly descended the wooden stairs.

Menglong is located in a subtropical zone with abundant sunshine and an average daytime temperature of 24 or 25 degrees Celsius.

Jiang Moli wore a white floral silk shirt and a black cloth skirt. Her hair was held up at the back of her head with plastic clips, with a few strands falling on her cheeks and neck. Her fair skin was dazzlingly white in the sunlight.

The family members were all stunned.

My goodness, how did she grow up to be so beautiful?

Jiang Moli stretched out her arms and walked towards the well, her bright features beaming with a smile.

"Good morning everyone."

Several family members smiled politely at her.

Jiang Moli: "Let me introduce myself. I am Commander Lu's wife. My surname is Jiang. You can call me Comrade Xiao Jiang or Sister Xiao Jiang."

Seeing that she seemed easy to get along with, a family member struck up a conversation: "Hey, you're only just getting up? Have you had breakfast yet?"

"I ate it. The corn pancakes in the cafeteria were pretty good today."

Hearing her say that, the family members exchanged glances without making a sound.

Just as rumored, they didn't even cook breakfast, waiting for Commander Lu to buy it from the canteen.

Jiang Moli found a rock to sit on and chatted idly with her family members.

Before long, family members brought out the washed clothes and prepared to go home.

Jiang Moli dusted off her bottom and decided to wander off somewhere else.

A family member reminded her, "It's getting late, it's time to start preparing lunch."

"Oh, I can't cook."

The other person looked at her, feigning surprise, "You can't cook? What do you usually eat?"

Jiang Moli said, "At home, someone cooks for me, so I eat what's ready. But here, no one cooks, so I have to buy food from the cafeteria."

"There's still a long way to go, and it's not good to always eat in the cafeteria. I still need to learn how to cook."

Another family member chimed in, "That's right. What if Commander Lu goes out on official business and doesn't come back for ten days or half a month? What will you do then?"

Jiang Moli smiled at the other woman, "Since you care about me so much, Sister-in-law Li, I can come to your house for meals when Lu Cheng isn't around. You won't be unwelcome, will you?"

"It's just adding a pair of chopsticks, it's no big deal."

"Then it's settled. From now on, if I don't have any food, I'll come to your house to eat."

Jiang Moli left in a good mood.

As soon as she left, Li Guifen and several other family members immediately showed expressions of disgust and contempt on their faces.

Not only are they lazy and good-for-nothing, but they also have no shame.

Dislike rating +4, 40000 yuan credited.

Lu Cheng went to the brigade headquarters for a meeting, and Jiang Peng brought him lunch.

Half a pound of white rice, stewed potatoes with meat, cucumber salad with sesame oil, and a large bowl of tofu soup.

Lu Cheng was promoted to regimental commander and also started receiving special treatment for cadres.

Each month, the diet consists of 10 jin of pork, 5 jin of eggs, 30 jin each of refined and coarse grains, and 45 jin of vegetables.

In addition, there is a fixed supply of sugar, milk powder, fruit, etc. every month.

Since Lu Cheng wasn't there, Jiang Moli gave his meal to Jiang Peng.

Jiang Peng ate ravenously.

Compared to the food served in the army, this meal was quite rich in oil and fat.

After the meal, Jiang Peng returned to the camp.

Jiang Moli was taking a nap in bed, dozing off as she flipped through a book, when suddenly someone called her from outside the door: "Sister Moli—"

When they went outside, who else could it be but Tang Xiaoyue?

Jiang Moli smiled and waved for him to go upstairs.

"Sister Jasmine, I wanted to come see you yesterday afternoon, but I was afraid of disturbing your rest, so I came now."

As soon as she entered, Tang Xiaoyue hurriedly explained, "That's great, you've thought of everything very carefully."

A faint blush rose to Tang Xiaoyue's face after receiving Jiang Moli's praise.

She glanced at the dirty clothes in the wooden basin in the corner and rolled up her sleeves to help. "I'm free right now, I'll wash your dirty clothes for you."

"No need, please sit down and let's talk."

Jiang Moli took out the fish skin peanuts she brought from Chengdu, brewed a pot of jasmine tea, and chatted with Tang Xiaoyue while eating.

"Try these fish skin peanuts."

Tang Xiaoyue obediently picked up a fish-skin peanut and put it in her mouth, crunching away with her eyes shining. "Delicious! It's fragrant and crispy!"

Jiang Moli smiled and rested her chin on her hand: "Eat more if you like it. I'll bring some back for you when you leave."

"No need, no need," Tang Xiaoyue waved her hands repeatedly.

Having just arrived and not knowing anyone, Jiang Moli felt a little out of place, but seeing old friends made her quite happy.

Are you settling in well here?

Tang Xiaoyue nodded, "That's fine. I'll still be in the logistics department, in charge of the guesthouse."

She paused for a moment, then said shyly, "Sister Jasmine, I've been promoted to class monitor."

Jiang Moli smiled and pinched the other's cheek, "Oh my, our little Yueyue has made something of herself, she's even become the class monitor now."

Tang Xiaoyue's face showed joy: "I was lucky. There were five people in our guesthouse. The original squad leader was transferred to another post for support. Of the remaining four, the other three were new recruits, except for me. That's why the leader gave me this responsibility."

"Luck is also a manifestation of ability, and you deserve it."

Jiang Moli's affirmation was undoubtedly a great encouragement to Tang Xiaoyue.

"Sister Jasmine, I will definitely work hard and not let you down."

Jiang Moli picked up the teapot and added some tea to Tang Xiaoyue's cup, saying frankly, "Meng Long's team is new, and there are many opportunities. It won't hurt you to perform well."

Tang Xiaoyue nodded emphatically, a blush creeping onto her face. "Sister Jasmine, you know about Xiaopeng and me?"

Jiang Moli looked at her and said, "Xiao Peng is stupid without realizing it. I want to hear what you think."

"Sister Jasmine, I think Xiaopeng is a good person. He's honest and straightforward, and he's serious about what he does."

Jiang Moli smiled and said, "Since you two are so in love, I won't say anything more. If this kid ever dares to bully you in the future, just tell me, and I'll take care of him."

Tang Xiaoyue obediently agreed.

After staying with Jiang Moli for an hour or so, Tang Xiaoyue reluctantly got up to say goodbye.

Jiang Moli packed half a pound each of fish skin peanuts and peanut candy for Tang Xiaoyue.

Tang Xiaoyue couldn't refuse, so she happily accepted it.

"Thank you, Sister Jasmine."

"Don't stand on ceremony with me. You're a small leader now. If you want your subordinates to listen to you, you have to learn to be both kind and strict, and to be lenient and firm at the same time."

Tang Xiaoyue nodded hurriedly, "I understand, Sister Jasmine."

Back in the dormitory, the two female soldiers from the same class sat on their beds and whispered to each other.

When Tang Xiaoyue returned, everyone immediately fell silent.

"The squad leader is back."

Tang Xiaoyue nodded and looked at one of them, saying, "It's almost time to hand over the shift, why are you still in the dormitory?"

"Go here."

Mao Chuntao put on her shoes and went out the door.

Tang Xiaoyue thought for a moment, then called the person back and gave them a few fish-skin peanuts and a piece of peanut candy.

"Thank you monitor!"

Mao Chuntao happily went out the door, carrying the things.

In Menglong, snacks and candy are rare commodities.

Tang Xiaoyue turned her head and distributed the same peanuts and candy to the remaining female soldiers in the dormitory.

"Squad leader, did Officer Jiang give you this candy? He's so kind to you."

Zhuolan looked on with envy as she ate the crispy fish skin peanuts.

"He didn't give it to me. By the way, what were you and Chun Tao whispering about just now?"

Zhuolan glanced outside the dormitory door and, seeing no one was around, whispered, "Chuntao was just telling me about our regimental commander's wife."
