Chapter 2045: Keep An Eye On You


    “Here.” Jiang Yao handed the bottle to Lu Xingzhi. Then, she reached out and touched it. After confirming that the water was not hot, she smiled at Lu Xingzhi.


    Lu Xingzhi lowered his head as he filled the bottle. When he raised his eyes, he saw Jiang Yao’s sly smile. He curled the corners of his lips and nced at Jiang Yao. Then, he said, “I’ll ask the nicedy to keep an eye on you. You’re not allowed to consume any ice.”


    She must have thought that he could not control her when he stepped onto the stage. When he saw her eyeing the snack bar, he knew what she was thinking.


    It was such hot weather, and she was basking in the sun. Jiang Yao, who was already greedy for cold beverages, would not be willing to touch the warm water in the bottle.


    The olddy nodded in agreement when she heard that. “Colone Lu is right.Support our


    You should not drink too many cold beverages, even if you are not pregnant. Regardless of the season, you have to drink warm water. It is the best for your body and great for maintaining your health. Look at me. I’m already so old, but I am still in good health. It’s because I care about that.”


    “That’s right.”


    Lu Xingzhi handed the bottle to Jiang Yao. “Let this nicedy keep an eye on you.”


    “Sure, don’t worry. I’ll keep an eye on you.” The olddy was enthusiastic. She did not think Lu Xingzhi was fussy, so she agreed with a smile.


    Thepetition had just started, and it was not Lu Xingzhi’s turn yet, so he was not in a hurry to leave. He stood beside Jiang Yao and chatted with the olddy. Lu Xingzhi had just joined the army base , but he had been training outside for a long time. Therefore, he was unfamiliar with many people who lived on the base. However, from the conversation, he could feel the woman was a cultured person. Therefore, he asked a few more questions during the conversation. He discovered that the woman was Commissar Lin’s mother; she was a school teacher before she retired. Lu Xingzhi felt that that should be the


    case.


    As the three of them chatted, the olddy talked about many interesting things she had taught her students. When she spoke of that, she evenughed out loud. It was apparent that she had a cheerful personality.


    When someone called her from behind, the smile on her face did not disappear.


    “Auntie, are you chatting with someone ? Have you used up the water? I’ve sent another pot. ”


    The three of them looked over when they heard the voice. A man in his forties came over with a big pot of water.


    “No, it’s still early. Not many people havee to get water,” the olddy replied. “There aren’t many people here either. Maybe you can see if other stations need a refill? There are probably more people in the field. Go there and take a look.


    ...


    The man looked at Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao. Perhaps he was curious, so he took a few more nces. He did not recognize them, nor did he greet them. Then, he left with the water.


    When he was far away, Jiang Yao clicked her tongue and said, “He’s so strong.”


    “Is that so? I heard that he used to be a soldier in the north for two years. He came here to visit his son. However, he’s a diligent man. He said that he would help deliver the water. The women aren’t strong enough to carry the water; we can only help dispense it. The pots are big and hot, so we need strong men. The man volunteered because he knew that we were short-handed.” The old woman had only praises for the man. “I heard that his son will be transferred end of this year. It’s his son’sst year in the army..”
