Chapter 1106: Take Away
While Lu Xingzhi was cooking in the kitchen, Jiang Yao leaned against the kitchen door and watched
him. As she thought about how her family would go to the army after the New Year, she said, "When
our parentse here, they will probably stay for a night. What should we do about their sleeping
arrangements? Should they sleep on the study and living room floor? Do we need nkets?"
"No need. The army has a guest house. I have already arranged for it. When the timees, a few
rooms will be vacated," Lu Xingzhi said. "Since you chose the curtains at home, I will take them down
then and send them to our new ce, which will be renovated ording to that style."
"Sure!" Jiang Yao nodded. "What about the furniture?"
"It''s not easy to sendrge pieces. Ask Sergeant Yang and Major Zhu about who would move in here."
Lu Xingzhi thought that he could send the curtains that Jiang Yao had chosen to their new ce.
However, the renovation would not bepleted that quickly. They would need to stay in a temporary
residence for a period. They could only move in after the ce was done.
The south was not like the north. The south was humid, so he was a little afraid of moving there. Lu
Xingzhi thought he could tile the entire ce. He would not mind it, but he was worried that Jiang Yao
would not befortable there.
The couple did not cook much, so dinner was done fairly quickly. While they were at the dinner table,
Lu Xingzhi started to talk about what had happened in the morning.
"I heard that a few military wives came to look for you this morning." Lu Xingzhi gave Jiang Yao a
mouthful of food. "I know that you can tell their baby''s gender. The army has been talking about it all
morning. No matter whoes to look for you, don''t help them."
"I know what to do."
Jiang Yao nodded. She would not do the things that she did not want to do. She had told Major He''s
wife and mother-inw that Major He''s wife was expecting twins.
Fortunately, Major He was pleased when he heard that. It was easy to tell genuine happiness from a
fake one.

"Second Brother is back today. In the morning, he went to the orphanage with his neighbor. In the
afternoon, they would take the child and another two-year-old girl to the hospital for a physical check-
up. If the child''s illness can be cured, they will adopt the two children," Lu Xingzhi said. After a pause,
he said, "The police in Jin City asked the police in their hometown to send Chen Lanying back to Jin
City to serve her sentence. Chen Lanying boarded the train back to Jin City in the morning. She would
rather serve her sentence than take care of her child."
Jiang Yao was not surprised because Chen Lanying felt that she would only be in prison for a few
months. If she took the child, she would be carrying a burden for the rest of her life.
"Tell Second Brother to give me a call when the results of the child''s examination are out. If it is okay, I
can prescribe medicine for the child that might be more useful than the medicine prescribed by the
hospital." The child was no longer with Chen Lanying and Lu Weihua, so Jiang Yao was very willing to
do anything within her ability; it was as easy as lifting a finger.
At noon, when Lu Xingzhi went out, Jiang Yao went with him. She wanted to see how the female
soldiers from the Arts and Crafts Regiment would choose the children for the performance, and she
also wanted to watch the children rehearse. Of course, she wanted to see whether Mrs. Lin had
managed to persuade Xiao Wei to participate in the performance.
It was freezing outside. So, at around 1.30 in the afternoon, any family who wanted to let their children
perform on stage would bring them to the great hall for an audition. When Jiang Yao called Mrs. Lin,
there were already many people gathered inside the hall. The adults were excited, but the children
were even more enthusiastic.
