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

Chapter 340 Extra Chapter 01: Boy and Girl

The sun hung high in the sky, bathing the entire residential compound in a dazzling golden glow.

A group of family members gathered by the well, washing clothes and rinsing rice while joking and laughing, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Hey, why are you always looking at Commander Lu's house? What are you looking at?"

Seeing Mao Cuifen constantly looking to the diagonal rear, Xiao Zhen couldn't help but wonder.

Mao Cuifen muttered to herself, "It's already this late, and the regimental commander's wife is still not up. She can really sleep; she sleeps until the sun is high in the sky every day."

Xiao Zhen sighed, "Who can blame her for being lucky? Her man is willing to pamper her. Unlike us, we toil from dawn till dusk, like old oxen."

Ma Xiaomei, standing nearby, disagreed: "He's so young and perfectly capable, and an intellectual at that. Instead of going to work, he stays at home all day, eating and lazing around, and he's corrupting the discipline of our residential compound..."

Before he could finish speaking, someone nudged his arm hard.

Turning around, I saw Lu Cheng, dressed in military uniform, standing by the well.

"Commander Lu..."

Ma Xiaomei's face flushed red, and she was so regretful that she wanted to bite off her tongue.

"Thank you all for your concern for my husband, but there's one thing I need to correct. As my husband, Jasmine staying home and taking care of my home front is already the greatest support she can give me for my work, and that's enough."

Watching Lu Cheng's tall and upright figure disappear into the distance, the group of women's eyes reddened with envy.

Which direction should you pray for to find such a good man?

……

"How are you feeling today? Is there anything wrong?"

Watching Jiang Moli sip her porridge from her lunchbox, Lu Cheng's eyes were brimming with happiness and contentment.

Jiang Moli picked up a piece of dried radish and chewed it with a crunchy sound. "Why are you back at this hour?"

"I'm going to the brigade and will stop by to see you. There's something else I need to tell you. My second sister-in-law called and said a hospital in Chongqing has a new ultrasound prenatal screening service that can show the size and development of the fetus. Should we get it done when we're a little further along in the pregnancy?"

"Okay."

Jiang Moli was naturally willing to have an ultrasound done.

In those days, early pregnancy tests were still done using ultrasound, and she had already done it at a hospital in Xicheng District.

An ultrasound (A-mode) uses the reflected amplitude of sound waves to present wave data similar to an electrocardiogram. It relies solely on the doctor's experience to determine pregnancy and gestational age, and cannot observe the fetal limbs or organ structures, nor can it screen for malformations.

At this point, neither Lu Cheng nor the Lu family knew that she was actually carrying triplets.

……

The Lu family was bustling with activity.

An Hui and Ma Hongmei were busy packing the supplies they had purchased, while Lu Tingting sat next to them, eating spicy snacks and making a list on paper with a pen in hand.

"Donkey-hide gelatin, bird's nest, milk powder, calcium tablets, multivitamins, dried tofu, spicy strips, chili sauce, sesame paste, brown sugar, mung bean cake..."

Looking at the mountain of various nutritional supplements and food, Wu Miaoyun clicked her tongue in amazement.

"This is too much. I'm afraid we won't be able to finish it even after the baby is born."

An Hui said, "Menglong's place lacks everything, so sending more over is better than nothing." Moreover, she didn't think it was too much at all; on the contrary, she was worried that it wouldn't be enough.

Ma Hongmei chimed in, "Jasmine is weak, she needs to take good care of herself after giving birth so her body won't break down."

Lu Tingting, who had just finished eating a bag of spicy strips, secretly reached for more, but An Hui, who had sharp eyes, slapped her hand away.

"Still eating? Haven't you had enough?"

Lu Tingting said sullenly, "It's such a big bag, what's wrong with me eating some?"

"These are for your third aunt."

Ma Hongmei handed a piece of sponge cake to Lu Tingting, saying, "Tingting, have this. Pregnant women have picky tastes. Your third aunt specifically asked for spicy food. If you want some, I'll go buy some more tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Wu Miaoyun couldn't help but tease, "They say sour foods mean a boy and spicy foods mean a girl. Xiao Jiang loves spicy food so much, she's probably pregnant with a girl."

An Hui smiled and said, "I love both my grandson and granddaughter. Your Xiaoxue is about four months pregnant, right? How are the signs of pregnancy?"

Speaking of her daughter, Wu Miaoyun's face lit up with joy. "She eats and sleeps well, but she loves sour things, like pickled cucumbers and pickled radishes. She can eat a whole bowl of them a day. The midwife took her pulse and said it's probably a boy."

"Oh dear, then I must congratulate you in advance."

Wu Miaoyun smiled broadly, "Congratulations! Don't worry, Xiao Jiang is still so young. She can have a few more children and eventually give birth to a son."

Lu Tingting, while eating a sponge cake, teased, "Eight or nine out of ten times it's a boy, so there's still a one or two out of ten chance it's a girl? Aunt Wu, your first child was a daughter, maybe Chen Xue will follow in your footsteps and have a daughter as her first child too."

Wu Miaoyun was furious when she left the Lu family home.

Just as the annoying Jiang Moli left, another annoying Lu Tingting arrived.

You curse her daughter to have only daughters, I curse you to never get married!
……

"Host, after resting for so many days, shouldn't we plan a new mission?"

Since being assigned the new task, apart from earning one favorability point on the first day, a week has passed and Jiang Moli has been doing nothing but eating and sleeping every day, completely adopting a lazy and complacent attitude, which is making the system a little anxious.

"I just finished raising my dislike level, and now I have to raise my favor level. This kind of character reversal is so jarring, I need to get used to it."

The new missions are similar to the old ones; you gain 1 point of favorability for each time someone likes or appreciates you.

Her task is to collect 1 favorability points and achieve the "Most Popular Person" status.

"Host, you are the most intelligent, capable, principled, clear-headed, and independent host I have ever encountered in my experience. I believe you can definitely complete this mission brilliantly."

"So, how many hosts have you bound yourself to in total?"

"The host is my 87359th."

"Tsk, you've had quite a few exes."

"They're all just passing through; only the host baby is true love."

"If you truly love me, transfer money to my account."

Why aren't you saying anything? Don't you love me anymore?

"You disappear when money is involved; what's the difference between you and a scumbag?"
