Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 319: Eighteen Bends on the Mountain Road (24)

"Mother-in-law! Army! Dinner is ready, come and eat!"

Jiang Qiuchen tied an apron around her waist and walked towards the dining table with bowls and chopsticks in her hand, shouting as she walked.

The mother and son who were chatting outside the house stopped at the right time when they heard the noise coming from inside the house.

Old Mrs. Dong gave Dong Dajun a look, signaling him not to be so impatient and to do everything according to her arrangements. Dong Dajun smiled foolishly, as if he understood what she meant.

Afterwards, Old Mrs. Dong stood up, rubbed her still aching waist, and walked into the house.

"Mother-in-law, have this bowl. I specially served it earlier so it won't be so hot."

"I've already peeled the potatoes, you can just eat them with some chili powder."

"This bowl is for Da Jun. He has a big appetite, so I gave him a little more."

Jiang Qiuchen worked in an orderly manner and arranged meals for the two of them in every possible way. It was his thoughtful attitude that made Old Mrs. Dong feel reluctantly satisfied.

After arranging everything for both of them, Jiang Qiuchen filled a smaller bowl with rice for himself and sat down to eat obediently.

Before I had even taken two bites of the meal, I heard Old Mrs. Dong talking beside me.

"Er Ya, in the blink of an eye you have been in our house for nearly half a month."

"I have seen everything you have done in the past half month. You are a hardworking and good girl. Da Jun and I are very satisfied with you."

"When you first came, I understood that you were tired from the journey and your health was not very good, so I let you rest for a while. But I feel that you have recovered a lot recently and are in good spirits."

"In that case, we should also put the formality on the agenda. We bought you so that you can give birth to a big fat boy for Da Jun. It's not a big deal that you sleep in my room every day. You should hurry up and move into Da Jun's room."

"You two young people, spend some time together and cultivate your feelings first, then this matter will come naturally, right? Besides, this is not something that can be conceived in one go, it will take some time, don't you think?"

Old Mrs. Dong raised her eyebrows and squinted her eyes, paying attention to Jiang Qiuchen's reaction.

Jiang Qiuchen knew very well that the reason why Mrs. Dong was still willing to talk to her like this was because Jiang Qiuchen had been very tactful and behaved well during this period of time.

Not only did he obey them in everything, but he also did the housework well.

If it were possible to avoid a quarrel, Old Mrs. Dong would naturally be happy to continue living like this. However, as long as Jiang Qiuchen expressed his resistance, she would not sit idly by and would use force.

Jiang Qiuchen's chewing movements gradually slowed down. After a hint of panic appeared in his eyes, he quickly calmed down.

"What Grandma said is true. It has indeed been a while since I came to our house. Since Grandma thinks it is time, I will move into Brother Dajun's room tonight."

"Try to...try to give Brother Dajun a big fat boy as soon as possible..."

After saying this, Jiang Qiuchen lowered his head even lower as if feeling embarrassed.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Mrs. Dong smiled again. She held Jiang Qiuchen's small hand with her old big hand and patted it with satisfaction.

"Good boy, if the other wives from our village were half as sensible as you, I don't know how much less suffering they would have to endure."

"Don't worry, as long as you give birth to a good grandson for our Dong family, we promise that we will not treat you unfairly."

"You don't have to clean up these tonight. My waist is almost healed. After dinner, I'll boil some hot water for you and Da Jun to soak in together."

Jiang Qiucheng looked at Old Lady Dong's waist with a worried look on his face and asked with concern.

"Mother-in-law, is your waist really healed? Otherwise, let me clean up tonight so as not to tire you out."

It is said that when people are happy, they feel refreshed. Mrs. Dong now feels that her waist and legs are no longer sore, and she can even stand up and turn a few more corners. Compared with holding her grandson, these small tasks are nothing. She just wants to ask the two people in front of her to get down to business quickly.

"No, no! I'll come later."

With Mrs. Dong's repeated insistence, Jiang Qiuchen could no longer refuse and accepted it with a smile.

After finishing the meal, the two were pushed by Old Lady Dong to go to the room first. Looking at the changed sheets and quilt covers in the room, they knew that Old Lady Dong had started preparing early.

Dong Dajun has maintained an excited expression from the beginning until now. Now that there are only two of them in the room, Dong Dajun can't sit still anymore.

Almost the first second he entered the room, he hugged the person tightly in his arms, muttering something.

"Hehe, wife, wife is finally going to become real!"

"The army has learned it, and the army will love you."

Trapped in the other's arms, Jiang Qiuchen almost couldn't breathe. He could only use a delaying tactic to buy time.

"Da Jun, let me go first. You're holding me so tightly that I can't breathe!"

After hearing the protest from the person in his arms, Dong Dajun relaxed a little, and Jiang Qiuchen was able to break free.

Then, she reached out and stroked Dong Dajun's cheek as if coaxing a child, and spoke softly.

"Dajun, mother just said that we have to take a shower before we can do anything."

"The bath water isn't ready yet, don't worry."

"How about you stay in the bathroom first? I'll come find you when the water is ready, okay?"

Dong Dajun didn't know what he was thinking about, but a hint of red appeared on his dark face. He pursed his lips and nodded.

I have to say that spending some time together did help them develop some trust with each other.

When Mrs. Dong was bedridden, Jiang Qiuchen took care of all the big and small matters at home.

Dong Dajun was as greedy as a child, so Jiang Qiuchen often used food as a lure to send him away to do some unimportant things.

Every time Dong Dajun agreed, Jiang Qiuchen would give him corresponding rewards according to the agreement.

After these exchanges, Dong Dajun subconsciously felt that what Jiang Qiuchen said was believable.

Besides, Mrs. Dong did say that during the meal, so it was only natural for her to ask him to wait in the bathroom.

"Okay, I'll go first, you'll be here soon!"

"Don't make me wait too long, or I'll call you mom."

It can be said that Dong Dajun is stupid, but he is not completely stupid.

He also knew that his mother was the one with the most say in this family, so she used Old Lady Dong to pressure Jiang Qiuchen.

Hearing this, Jiang Qiuchen smiled slightly and nodded to indicate that he understood.

After temporarily stabilizing the big fool, Jiang Qiuchen turned back and walked towards the kitchen.

At this time, Old Mrs. Dong was scooping hot water out of the back pot one spoonful at a time, and had no idea that danger was approaching her.
