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

Chapter 24 Opportunity to Earn Disdain Points
On the way to the department store, Lu Cheng talked to Jiang Moli about her work.

"Did your friend help you find this job?"

"I can't call them friends, but I know them but I'm not very familiar with them."

Lu Cheng snorted with a smile, "I told you, a true friend wouldn't give you a job like this."

"What? You look down on toilet cleaners too?" Jiang Moli teased.

"You are young and educated, but this is a waste of your talent."

This answer satisfied Jiang Moli.

"Quit this job and I'll find you another one. You can tell me what you want."

Jiang Moli blinked. "How can I not work? I just want to be supported by others, eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and do nothing."

Lu Cheng glanced at her and said, "Eating and drinking are just the most basic things for survival. Don't you have anything else you want to do?"

"What I want is actually very simple, a simple and ordinary life, a thatched house, a few acres of fertile land, a handsome husband, and 1 million in savings."

Lu Cheng was amused by her last sentence. "You're quite arrogant. Do you know how much 1 million is?"

"I know."

In another year or two, she will be able to achieve this goal.

Lu Cheng didn't take her words seriously, but he gave a serious response to her idea of ​​not wanting to work.

"If you don't want to work, then come with me and join the army. We are surrounded by mountains and the scenery is beautiful. You can have fun as you please."

"Don't go."

"why?"

“I don’t like mountains.”

Lu Cheng was silent for a long moment before speaking again, his voice much deeper. "The conditions in the mountains are indeed difficult, the environment is harsh, and living and medical resources are extremely scarce. Some comrades have even lost their lives because they didn't receive timely treatment for a cold. But as soldiers, we have no choice but to stay there and protect the safety of the people living on the border."

"You are great and noble. Whether the country is in trouble or the people are in difficulty, you are always on the front lines, protecting the country and the people with your own flesh and blood. You deserve to be praised and admired by the world."

Lu Cheng was surprised. "I didn't realize you had such understanding and awareness."

Jiang Moli replied, "Although I'm lazy and good at eating, it doesn't mean I don't have a brain or thoughts. When it comes to major issues, I stand firm."

Lu Cheng looked at her deeply for several times, with a hint of smile in his eyes.

The more he got to know her, the more he seemed to like his delicate and gentle wife.

His tone softened considerably. "If you don't want to join the army, I won't force you. But if we do, we'll have to live apart. You'll inevitably feel left out and lonely at home. Don't argue with me about this then."

"Don't worry, I won't."

She just doesn't want to stay in the mountains for a long time. It's okay to visit relatives and stay for a few days occasionally, just as a trip to relax.

Jiang Moli agreed readily, but Lu Cheng felt unhappy.

Deep down in his heart, he actually wanted to take Jiang Moli with him.
……

After parking the car, Lu Cheng did not rush to take Jiang Moli into the department store, but took out a notebook and pen from his shoulder bag.

Seeing Jiang Moli looking at him, he explained: "I'm used to making plans in advance. Let's list the things we want to buy so that we can check for omissions and fill in the gaps."

Jiang Moli gave a thumbs up: "This is a good habit."

Lu Cheng has been living like this for so many years and he doesn't think it's a big deal.

But when Jiang Moli praised him, he felt very happy in his heart.

Subconsciously, I wanted to talk more with my wife and deepen our understanding of each other.

"I am a rough man..."

"How thick?"

Lu Cheng was stunned by the question, "What?"

Jiang Moli's face flushed as she shifted her gaze. "Nothing, just continue."

Lu Cheng looked at her suspiciously for a moment before continuing what he hadn't finished. "I'm a rough man with a low level of education. I don't like beating around the bush. If you have any ideas or requests, just tell me directly. I'll do my best to do what I can..."

Having said this, Lu Cheng suddenly stopped.

Jiang Moli thought he had finished speaking and was about to agree when she heard the man ask her, "Did you just say something dirty?"

Jiang Moli didn't expect that the man actually understood her intention.

It was only after she stumbled over her words that she realized that this was the 1970s and verbal teasing might be considered hooliganism.

"I asked you how thick your nerves are, what are you thinking about?"

Jiang Moli's righteous attitude made Lu Cheng unsure.

"I'm sorry, my thinking was unhealthy, and I reflect deeply on it."

Looking at the man's face, which was filled with frustration and embarrassment, Jiang Moli thought about all the sad things in her two lives before she could hold back her laughter.

So innocent.

I wonder if I will be so innocent in bed.

Imagine a man who is over 5'8", as shy as a little rabbit...

Alas.

Jiang Moli shook her head, trying to get rid of the yellow waste in her mind.

Lu Cheng misunderstood, "Not satisfied? Then what do you want me to do to stop being angry?"

Jiang Moli waved her hand, "My ears are a little itchy, you continue writing."

"Your ear is itchy? Let me check. Is there a bug stuck in it?"

As Lu Cheng spoke, he reached out and twisted her face, seriously trying to help her solve the problem of itchy ears.

Jiang Moli subconsciously covered her ears and said, "It's okay, just write it down, a set of wedding clothes."

Feeling that she was avoiding his touch, Lu Cheng withdrew his hand, unscrewed the pen cap, and lowered his head to write on the notebook. Jiang Moli leaned over to take a look and was surprised to find that the man's handwriting was very good.

The brush strokes are strong and powerful, and every stroke is very standard, just like the person he is, meticulous, resolute and upright.

"What else, a wardrobe? A dressing table?"

Although he was asking Jiang Moli's opinion, he had already written these two things on paper.

I really wanted to buy it for her, I wasn't just being pretentious.

This made Jiang Moli very fond of her.

"Look, is there anything missing?"

Jiang Moli took the notebook. The A6-sized paper was almost full, from furniture and tables and chairs to towels, toothbrushes and soap.

"That's about it, that's all for now."

"it is good."

Unlike the dazzling array of goods in later shopping malls, department stores of this era had almost no choices. Many categories were fixed brands and styles. For example, thermos bottles were all made of red iron sheets, and porcelain washbasins were all white with red peonies printed on them.

The department store has three floors in total. The first floor sells daily necessities and food, the second floor sells furniture, electrical appliances and hardware, and the third floor sells jewelry, high-end shoes and clothing, and special products.

It must be said that there were quite a lot of people buying things. Jiang Moli took a quick look and found that there were at least one or two hundred people in the entire department store.

Jiang Moli naturally would not miss the opportunity to earn some disdain points.

Following Lu Cheng's shopping list, the two came to the counter selling thermoses.

There were three men and two women standing in front of the counter, and it seemed that they were also buying things for their wedding.

Jiang Moli reached out and pushed the five people aside, "Make way, make way, if you can't afford it, don't block the way here, really!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly aroused the anger of the five people.

"How can you say that? Who can't afford it?"

"What's the point of just saying you're going to buy something? You should actually spend the money to buy it. If you're not going to buy it, then don't stop others from buying it."

"Disgust value +6..."

Not only were the five buyers angry about Jiang Moli's behavior, even the salesperson couldn't stand it.

Having successfully earned the dislike points, Jiang Moli changed the subject and said, "Forget it, I won't argue with you. I'll go watch something else."

"Hey, there's something wrong with you!"

Jiang Moli came to the counter selling washbasins and asked the salesperson, "Don't you have any new styles and patterns? When I was a child, you sold this style of washbasin. Now I'm married, and you still sell this style. Keep up with the times, don't you understand?"

After some complaints, I successfully earned 3 points of dislike.

When the salesperson handed her the basin, his eyes were murderous, and he probably wanted to hit her in the face with the basin.

After leaving the washbasin counter, Lu Cheng pulled her aside with a serious expression.

Jiang Moli couldn't help but wonder if the man would lose his temper and scold her because of her behavior just now, or if after seeing her true face, he would regret finding such a thing as her and want to divorce her.

"Do you still want to buy the rest? If you keep being so picky, we'll probably all be kicked out soon."

"I'm not wrong. The five of them were standing in a row in front of the counter, blocking my view..."

Jiang Moli was obviously making up her mind, so her voice sounded a little weak.

But when Lu Cheng heard this, he could sense a sense of grievance.

Thinking that she was a person who would never suffer a loss, he took a deep breath and said, "I didn't say you were wrong. I just said that when I'm not around, you should try not to argue with others. What if they hit you?"

"Just do it with her!"

Lu Cheng quite liked this spirit of not being afraid of anything and not admitting defeat.

He didn't say anything more, just pulled Jiang Moli's wrist and said in an elder's tone, "Let's go, and don't talk too much later. Just point out the ones you like to me."

"Why won't you let me speak?"

"It's not that I don't allow you to speak, it's that I want you to speak less."

"I'm a talkative person, so I like to talk a lot."

"Then tell me, I'm listening."

"Let go first."

Noticing the gazes of the people around him, Lu Cheng finally let go of her wrist and said, "Your wrist is so thin and white, like a scallion."

Jiang Moli rolled her eyes and said, "If you don't know how to praise someone, don't force it."

Lu Cheng touched his nose and pointed at the counter selling bed sheets. "Go and have a look at that."

Jiang Moli didn't want to be kicked out of the department store, so she stopped trying to choose things carefully.

Seeing that she had behaved herself, Lu Cheng unilaterally believed that his words had worked, and thought that although his wife was a little noisy, she was not impossible to discipline.

Jiang Moli was responsible for the selection, and Lu Cheng was responsible for paying and carrying the items.

After a while, Lu Cheng's hands were full.

Lu Cheng slung the bag over her shoulder and took out the car keys. "I'll put the things in the car first. You wait here."

"Oh."

After Lu Cheng left with the things, Jiang Moli walked to a counter selling facial cream to see if there was any facial cleanser or something.

People nowadays mostly use soap to wash their faces, and those who are better off use perfumed soap. Soap products are highly alkaline, and the face feels tight and uncomfortable after washing.

"Jiang Moli!"

A familiar voice of scolding came from behind.
