Chapter 1006: Look At How Much Other People Can Eat
She was so stingy that it made little Master Moe very unhappy. However, that older woman’s braised pork was pretty good.
When Lu Xingzhi came back, he bumped into Major He, who had returned from Yuan City. The two of them talked as they walked upstairs. When they reached the third floor, Major heard his mother’s scolding and his wife’s crying. When he thought about his wife’s pregnancy, Major He did not say anything else to Lu Xingzhi before he sped up and ran upstairs.
Lu Xingzhi could not be bothered with the battalion commander’s family matters. So when he reached the door to his house, he did not go to his neighbor to ask about it. Instead, he went back to his own home.
The moment he entered the door, he saw Jiang Yao in the living room with the newspaper. He walked forward and reached out to touch Jiang Yao’s hand and reprimanded her, “Don’t go to the balcony if you have nothing to do there. Aren’t you afraid of the cold?” After he scolded her, he asked, “Let’s cook some porridge for dinner. What else do you want to eat?”
Even though Lu Xingzhi had just returned from the outside, his palms were very warm. Women were naturally more afraid of the cold than men. Once Lu Xingzhi held her, Jiang Yao rubbed against his palm greedily and said, “Braised pork with soy sauce.”
The ears in the corner of the sofa trembled slightly. He thought that he had acted very well, but his tail had swayed twice; he had betrayed his mood at that moment.
‘Great, I’ll have braised meat for dinner too!’
When Lu Xingzhi was busy in the kitchen, Jiang Yao had also accompanied him in the kitchen. She did not know how to do anything, so interfering would not help. Therefore, she was only responsible for talking with Lu Xingzhi in the kitchen to relieve his boredom.
“I saw that you brought the local newspapers in Yuan City today, right?” Jiang Yao asked. “Yesterday, I heard you and Colonel Lin say that you want to arrange for your own men to go to Yuan City. It seems that you also intend to transfer Director Ye to Yuan City?”
“Yes, Director Ye’s transfer order was sent today. Almost all the officials in Yuan City had been replaced. All the officials have been inspected, and those who have no connection with the Chai family have been transferred to other places to continue their jobs. Those who do have connections to the Chai family are all dealt with according to the law. Yuan City is now very easy to control. Even though one is Nanjiang City and the other is Yuan City, both are still cities. Yuan City is the capital city of a province, and it is also close to the capital city. Director Ye’s arrival in Yuan City can be considered a promotion. This can be considered a New Year’s gift to him.”
Since they were only across the hall, the Lu family’s kitchen was very close to the He family’s kitchen. When Lu Xingzhi talked to Jiang Yao, he could only hear Old Madam He’s voice. When he heard it, he frowned.
“I’ll talk to Major He tomorrow and ask him to send his mother back to her hometown before the New Year,” Lu Xingzhi said impatiently. “She swears like this all the time, and the neighbors are all living in unrest. His wife is pregnant, and his mother swears like that because of two pieces of meat. She’s not afraid of offending her daughter-in-law. When the New Year comes every year, Major He’s wife might take the child and go back to her mother’s house.”
After Lu Xingzhi finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Yao and sighed. “Look at how much other people’s wives can eat. Can’t you eat more?”
