Chapter 53 Lu Tingting rescues

The Jiang family is having dinner.

In the past, at this time of year, the house was always noisy. Either Jiang Moli was complaining about this and that, or the two sisters were arguing with each other.

Now that the two sisters are married, the house is quieter, but also deserted.

Jiang Peng slurped up the noodles in his bowl, wiped his mouth and went into the inner room.

There are two rooms in the Jiang family. Jiang Dahai and Li Hongying used to sleep in the outer room, while Jiang Moli and Jiang Qing slept in the inner room.

Jiang Peng has never had his own room since he was a child, and he always slept on a small bed in the outer room.

After Jiang Moli and Jiang Qing got married, Jiang Peng finally had his own room.

Jiang Dahai looked at Li Hongying, who was secretly crying, and said, "Eat, the noodles are clumping together."

Li Hongying pushed the untouched bowl of rice to Jiang Dahai with red eyes, "You eat it, I can't eat anymore. I don't know what's going on with Xiaoqing, and whether she's had any food."

Jiang Dahai looked at her and said, "If you're worried, go back to your hometown tomorrow and take some canned food and sugar with you. Don't be impolite."

Li Hongying said hurriedly, "Then I'll go tomorrow morning and be back before noon so I don't miss cooking."

"Okay, let's eat."

"Eh!"

Li Hongying wiped her tears, picked up her chopsticks, and saw that Jiang Dahai's bowl was almost empty. She subconsciously said, "I'll give you half of my bowl. I can't finish it."

"I've had enough."

After hearing what Jiang Dahai said, Li Hongying started eating.

Jiang Dahai finished his meal quickly, put down his chopsticks and stood up: "I'm going out for a walk."

"Then come back early and I'll heat the bath water for you in the pot."

"it is good."

Jiang Dahai had just gone out pushing his bicycle when he ran into a colleague from the workshop.

"Mr. Jiang, why are you still going out so late?"

"Well, I went out for something. Why did you just come back?"

"Isn't it Lao Zhou who's inviting you to drink? He called you, but you didn't go."

Jiang Dahai waved his hand and said, "I've been busy at home lately. I'll treat you another day."

"Okay, I'll be waiting!"

After chatting for a while, Jiang Dahai got on his bike and left home.

……

Seeing that the military compound was not far ahead, Jiang Dahai got off his bicycle and started pushing it.

He walked slowly, his eyes fixed on the gate of the military compound.

Li Hongying missed her daughter, and so did he.

I want to know whether my daughter is living well in her husband's family and whether she is being wronged or embarrassed.

I might as well come over and take a look at night when I have nothing to do, maybe I'll find it.

Jiang Dahai pushed his bicycle and wandered around the gate of the military compound twice. He didn't see his daughter, but this aroused the guards' vigilance.

He stepped forward to stop him and asked, "Comrade, what do you do?"

The guards were armed with live ammunition and their eyes were sharp. Jiang Dahai couldn't help but feel nervous. "I, I was just passing by."

"Which unit do you work for? Where do you live? Please show me your ID."

Jiang Dahai knew that the guards thought he was an outlaw.

All I had to do was call my daughter and explain.

But he didn't want to cause trouble for his daughter.

His daughter was not liked by her mother-in-law to begin with. As a father, he could not help, but he must not hold his daughter back.

What's more, it would be embarrassing if word got out that he wasn't at home at night and was guarding the gate of his daughter's in-laws' house. Jiang Dahai honestly told the guard his personal information and work unit, but he couldn't produce any proof, so the guard wouldn't let him leave and threatened to report his personal information to his superiors for verification.

Jiang Dahai felt both regretful and anxious.

If he had known that this would cause such trouble, he would never have come.

Lu Tingting went out to throw away the garbage at night. She heard a quarrel outside the compound and came out to see what was going on out of curiosity.

When I took a look, hey, isn’t this Jiang Moli’s dad?
Jiang Moli often caused trouble in school and had her parents called to school several times. Every time, it was Jiang Dahai who came to the school, so that almost everyone in the school knew Jiang Dahai.

Jiang Dahai has a regular face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He wears a white shirt and has a side-parted hairstyle.

Under the dim light of the evening, he actually looked elegant and handsome.

Thinking of her younger sister's suggestion that she be Jiang Moli's stepmother, Lu Tingting felt embarrassed, but her feet walked uncontrollably towards Jiang Dahai.

"What are you doing here?"

Jiang Dahai looked at Lu Tingting and felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.

The guard recognized Lu Tingting's identity and asked politely, "Comrade Lu, do you know him?"

When Jiang Dahai heard the guard address Lu Tingting, he felt both happy and worried.

The girl is a member of the Lu family and can prove his identity.

But in this case, I'm afraid he can no longer hide the fact that he secretly came to see his daughter.

"Yes, I know him. He is my third aunt's father."

Third Aunt? Is this Mr. Lu’s father-in-law?
The guard was so scared that he immediately let go and saluted Jiang Dahai to apologize.

Lu Cheng was notoriously protective and overbearing. He knew that he had arrested his father-in-law, but he didn't know how to deal with him.

After the guards left, Jiang Dahai thanked Lu Tingting gratefully. "Miss Lu, thank you. I have something else to trouble you with. Could you please not tell my Jasmine about what happened tonight? I was passing by here on business and was wondering if I could run into Jasmine, so I stayed a little longer. Unexpectedly, the guards misunderstood me. Jasmine has a quick temper, and I didn't want to worry her."

Lu Tingting hummed, "I know."

"Thank you, thank you! I'm so sorry to bother you tonight. It's getting late, so you should go home and get some rest. Bye!"

After saying that, Jiang Dahai got on his bike and left.

Lu Tingting stared at his back for a while, then turned around and went back to the compound.

Even if Jiang Dahai didn't ask her to keep it a secret, she didn't plan to mention it to Jiang Moli.

She had no such kindness in helping Jiang Dahai. She wished Jiang Dahai would be arrested by the guards so that Jiang Moli would be embarrassed and humiliated.

But if her family found out about it, especially her third uncle, they would definitely punish her severely.

She had to help Jiang Dahai because of the authority of her elders, and she didn't want Jiang Moli to think that she was showing weakness.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. When she passed by the Lu family's door, Lu Tingting clenched her fists and swore secretly.

Jiang Moli, just wait, I will step on your head sooner or later!

snort!
……

At the Zhang family’s breakfast table.

Jiang Qing held a half bowl of corn porridge and ate it in small bites, unable to swallow it.

The corn flour in the countryside is ground by homemade stone mills. The flour is very coarse and even if it is cooked into a soup, it still makes your throat hurt when you eat it.

I didn't sleep well last night.

Not only was the adobe house damp, but the bed was also hard, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

She was mentally prepared before coming here, knowing that conditions in the countryside would be difficult, but she didn't expect it to be this difficult.

It won't last more than two or three months, just grit your teeth and hold on and you'll get through it.

Jiang Qing silently encouraged herself in her heart.

Across from her, Jin Yulan looked at her elegant appearance and started talking like a machine gun: "Xiaoqing, eat quickly, and then go to the fields to work. There's a lot of grass growing in the rice paddies, the corn fields need fertilizer, and the sweet potato fields need to be cleared of insects. There's a lot of work to do. It would be better if you could come home early and help with the housework."

Jin Yulan's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing Jiang Qing's confidence that had been ignited with great difficulty.

 It's the end of the month, I'm setting up a bowl, please give me a monthly ticket~
