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

Chapter 346 Extra Chapter 07: The Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars of a Good Husband

In the Lu family's living room, Jiang Moli sat at the dining table, which was covered with a lot of items.

Seven or eight family members lined up, their faces beaming with joy as they waited to receive the supplies.

"Sister-in-law Xiaofeng, here are the 5 industrial coupons you requested. A friend of mine collected them and wants to exchange them for 200 jin of national grain coupons."

Wang Xiaofeng nodded quickly, "Okay, no problem."

The traders outside were asking for 50 jin of grain coupons for a single industrial coupon, so it was already a good deal for her to exchange 200 jin of grain coupons for these 5 coupons.

"Sister-in-law Guizhen, here is the milk powder and soap you requested."

"Oh, thank you so much! I don't know how to thank you enough!"

Jin Guizhen held the things, feeling both joy and gratitude.

Jiang Moli smiled and said, "You're lucky. My friend has plenty of breast milk and doesn't need formula, so she managed to spare a few cans. She can use cloth coupons, grain coupons, meat coupons, and coal coupons. Do you have any on hand?"

"Okay, I'll go back and collect the pieces and bring them to you!"

Jin Guizhen left happily, and Jiang Moli moved on to the next person.

Before he knew it, the sun had set in the west, and Lu Cheng entered his home covered in sweat.

"Oh, Commander Lu is back so early today."

When he returned, his family members greeted him with smiles.

"There wasn't much to do at the troupe today, so I came back early."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the family members, Lu Cheng saw that Jiang Moli was busy and didn't disturb her.

He washed the plums he brought back with water, brought them to Jiang Moli, and then took the carrying pole and empty bucket and went out the door.

The plums looked freshly picked; after being washed, each one was crisp, juicy, and perfectly round.

Jiang Moli took one and ate it; the flesh was crisp and refreshing, with a sweet and sour taste.

"These plums are pretty good, sisters-in-law, you should all try some."

"No, I don't like sour food."

"I've been taking Chinese medicine lately, so I can't eat plums."

The family members were very perceptive and politely declined.

Everyone could tell that Lu Cheng had specially brought these plums home for his wife to enjoy; they wouldn't dare compete with a pregnant woman for food.

……

Several family members carrying things walked out of the Lu family home, just as Lu Cheng was carrying a load of water into the house, and they all made way for him.

After Lu Cheng carried the water into the house, she sighed softly, "If we're talking about the best man in our compound, it has to be Commander Lu. He's handsome, capable, and loves his wife dearly."

"My wife is half as good as Commander Lu. She's like a blind man when she gets home. She wouldn't even pick up a fallen soy sauce bottle."

"Other women find men to repay kindness, but we find men to seek revenge!"

After chatting for a while, they went home.

Huo Jianhong sat at the dining table checking his eldest and second eldest children's homework. As soon as she came in, he complained, "You're finally back. Hurry up and cook dinner, I'm starving."

Thinking of the devoted husband next door and comparing him to her own lazy husband, Chen Guihua's anger flared up.

"Are you blind or legless? It'll kill you to cook a meal! You're all useless, but you've got a big mouth. You just wait for me to serve you every day. Do you think I owe you anything?"

Huo Jianhong was stunned by the scolding. "What's wrong with you? Did you eat gunpowder?"

"I'm going to get shot, you son of a bitch!"

Huo Jianhong: "..."

……

Lu Cheng put down the buckets and carrying pole, then looked back and saw Jiang Moli still eating plums. He went over and took the plums and basket away.

"Just eat a few to satisfy your craving, don't eat too many, it's bad for your health."

Although Jiang Moli didn't get her fill, she was willing to listen to advice.

Plums are cold in nature, and eating too many can easily cause diarrhea.

She is currently pregnant, and it's her third pregnancy, so she definitely needs to pay more attention to her diet.

This is for the sake of the babies, and also for her own health.

"I'm cooking the sauerkraut stew with glass noodles you wanted tonight."

As Lu Cheng spoke, he opened the lunchbox containing the food, took a bite to make sure the food wasn't cold, and then placed it in front of Jiang Moli.

Jiang Moli picked up a large mouthful of rice noodles with her chopsticks and slurped it into her mouth. The rich, sour aroma satisfied her, but she also felt that something was missing.

"Bring out the chili sauce." Lu Cheng went to the kitchen, took out the glass jar of chili sauce, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Jiang Moli.

After adding two spoonfuls of chili sauce, the sauerkraut and glass noodles finally tasted to Jiang Moli's liking.

"I'll call Mom tomorrow and ask her to send some more chili sauce, so you don't run out."

Seeing her enjoying her meal, Lu Cheng glanced at the nearly empty jar of chili sauce and said...

Jiang Moli swallowed the food in her mouth. "Tell Mom to send more; your son loves it."

When she first got pregnant, she craved spicy food, but now her tastes have changed, and she likes to eat things that are both sour and spicy.

Lu Cheng gazed at her tenderly, a happy smile on his face: "You want a son? I'd rather have a daughter."

Jiang Moli smiled enigmatically, "If it were a girl, the happier you would be when she was born, the more heartbroken you would be when she gets married."

Lu Cheng thought about it and realized it was true.

He would rather raise his daughter for the rest of his life than marry her off to someone else.

"Then let's have a son."

Jiang Moli thought for a moment, "It's fine for our daughter. Let's save up some assets for her and find her a son-in-law to live with us later."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Lu Cheng nodded happily as he put food into her bowl, saying, "Eat more."

Besides her fondness for sour and spicy foods, Jiang Moli's appetite has also increased considerably.

I used to eat a small bowl of rice per meal, but now it's common for me to eat two large bowls of rice per meal.

This is only after she has reduced her food intake.

If I were to eat to my heart's content, I could probably easily finish three large bowls in one meal.

……

After dinner, the afterglow of the setting sun still lingered on the horizon.

Jiang Moli stood in front of the mirror, gazing absently at her round belly.

I'm already three months pregnant, and with all the eating I've done, my belly is getting bigger every day, and my waist is getting thicker too.

However, the thought of meeting the babies in six months fills me with a strange sense of anticipation.

"I'm all packed. Let's go for a walk."

Lu Cheng walked to her side, helped her straighten her clothes, and took her hand as they went out the door.

After leaving the residential compound, walk around the outer wall from left to right, which takes about twenty minutes.

This short journey is neither too strenuous nor too tiring, and it can also help with digestion and soothe the mind.

Whenever Lu Cheng has time, he takes her out for a walk and talks to her.

"Who helped you purchase those supplies for the family this time?"

"what happened?"

“Today, Commander Zhong called to talk about work and mentioned this matter briefly. The brigade has some opinions on this issue.”

Jiang Moli understood. "They're jealous?"

Worried that she might get angry, Lu Cheng held her hand with one hand and gently patted her back with the other to help her calm down.

"You do good deeds and practical things for the people, that's beyond doubt. It's me who's holding you back, there are too many people watching me."

Lu Cheng spoke cryptically, but Jiang Moli understood.

Even if she did not profit from reselling tickets, the mutual exchange and trading of tickets was still something that could not be openly discussed.

After more than a month of hard work, she has already won over most of the family members' goodwill, and it's time for her to stop.

"I understand. I was just killing time because I was bored. I won't do it anymore."

"I'm sorry, I've made you suffer."

Lu Cheng did not feel any more at ease because of her understanding; on the contrary, he showed frustration and self-blame.

Even if Lu Cheng hadn't said anything, Jiang Moli knew that this matter had affected him to some extent.

But instead of uttering a single word of blame or complaint, he took all the responsibility upon himself.

This man was always determined to use his strong arms to create a sunny sky for her, untouched by wind, frost, snow, or rain.

But she was never a weak, clinging vine.
