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

Chapter 343 Extra Chapter 04: A Two-Way Journey
After cleaning the house, Lu Cheng went to the door of the study.

The study was converted from an empty bedroom. There is a 2.5-meter-long solid wood table by the window, and a row of bookshelves on each side of the wall.

So many packages have been sent from my hometown these past few days that my bookshelf has been turned into a temporary storage shelf, filled with all sorts of supplies.

Jiang Moli was hunched over her desk, intently writing and drawing.

The pearl-colored silk nightgown, like a second skin, lightly covered her soft body. Beneath the thin fabric, her slender shoulder blades were as graceful and delicate as butterfly wings.

Lu Cheng stared at it intently for a while before stepping inside.

"Aren't you done yet?"

Jiang Moli didn't even look up. "It'll be ready soon. You should go to sleep."

Seeing that she was busy, Lu Cheng did not disturb her and turned to look at the neatly arranged items on the bookshelf with great interest.

Jiang Moli sorted out all the items sent from home, and upon inspection, she found that the variety was quite complete.

"If you have time tomorrow, could you help me install a blackboard in front of my house?"

"it is good."

Seeing that Jiang Moli had finished her work, Lu Cheng moved a stool and sat down in front of her. "What kind of blackboard do you want?"

"Rectangular, with a height and width of at least one meter."

Lu Cheng agreed and then asked about the purpose of the blackboard.

Jiang Moli showed him the inventory she had just organized, "The materials that can be used for exchange will all be written on the blackboard, with the inventory quantity marked one by one. Once they're all gone, they're gone. The sooner we exchange them, the sooner we'll have them, and it will save us from any disputes later."

Lu Cheng agreed, "You've thought this through very well. I'll have Xiao Peng take care of it first thing tomorrow morning."

Seeing the uncontrollable smile on his face, Jiang Moli felt a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"All the things in this room were bought with real money and effort by my family, and I traded them for worthless mushrooms. Don't you think I'm being wasteful?"

Lu Cheng looked at her and said, "We agreed before we got married that you would be in charge of all the big and small matters at home. Besides, in my opinion, making the most of things is not a waste."

Jiang Moli was quite satisfied with the man's awareness and understanding. Considering how he had been leaving early and returning late these past few days, she changed the subject and started asking about his work.

Lu Cheng poured out all his troubles to her, and the couple talked until late at night before turning off the lights and going to sleep.

……

The next day, at Jiang Moli's house.

Tang Xiaoyue, holding chalk and a wooden ruler, drew lines and grids on the newly ordered blackboard as Jiang Moli had requested. The family members surrounded her, three layers deep.

Some people were curious, while others were waiting to trade the mushrooms for other things.

Jiang Moli explained to the families, "To be fair, I will list the available supplies and their quantities on the blackboard. Everyone can exchange according to their needs. The sooner you exchange, the sooner you'll have them. Supplies are limited, so please don't complain if you don't get any."

After hearing her words, the family members nodded in understanding.

Jiang Moli then explained some rules for the exchange, such as each household could only exchange once, and there were quantity restrictions.

After she finished speaking, Tang Xiaoyue wrote all the items that could be exchanged and their quantities on the blackboard.

Family members lined up voluntarily.

With Tang Xiaoyue's assistance, the exchange proceeded smoothly and in an orderly manner.

The families who received the items were extremely grateful to Jiang Moli, and this gratitude was all converted into goodwill towards her.

The families received a favor, and Jiang Moli gained goodwill. How can this not be considered a win-win situation for both parties?

……

Mao Cuifen returned to the family compound with her backpack on her back. She saw two sisters who were usually on good terms with her coming out of the Lu family's house. She pretended not to see them and was about to turn back home, but the two called her back.

"Cuifen's back! How are the mushrooms selling?"

Mao Cuifen forced a smile, "There's not much left, enough to cook a dish tonight."

"Why don't you go to the regimental commander's house and try to exchange it if you can?"

"Look, I switched to a different packet of sesame paste, and it smells amazing even through the bag."

"I traded two pounds of white sugar. I've never seen such high-quality white sugar in my life. It's so fine and white, much better than what the supply and marketing cooperative in town sells."

Back home, looking at the half-full basket of mushrooms left, and thinking about the sesame paste and white sugar her sisters had traded for, Mao Cuifen couldn't help but feel annoyed and frustrated.

This is the season for mushrooms, and mushrooms are sold everywhere in the market.

Not only are mushrooms hard to sell, but they also don't fetch a good price.

I should have just traded with Jiang Moli; it would have saved me the trouble of going through all that trouble at the market.

But she already made those promises yesterday, so wouldn't it be a slap in the face for her to go to Jiang Moli now?

By using the tactic of exchanging supplies, Jiang Moli successfully pushed her mission progress bar past 100.
