"I'll take him to wash his dirty face first." Lu Xingzhi didn't ask for the child's opinion. He carried him out as if he was carrying luggage.
Lu Xingzhi would fill the tub and wring the towel properly when taking care of Jiang Yao, but he wouldn't take care of anyone other than Lu Xingzhi like that.
After carrying the child to the sink, he went back to find Jiang Yao, regardless of whether the child wanted to wash or not.
The first thing Lu Xingzhi did when he came back was to help Jiang Yao back to her room and let Jiang Yao lie down to rest. He also scolded Jiang Yao for being disobedient and standing outside.
Jiang Yao was already used to Lu Xingzhi's occasional nagging, so she didn't respond to his nagging. Instead, she asked about the arrangement Lu Xingzhi had just mentioned.
"You want to send the child to school, but at the age of 12, a normal child can already enter the second year of junior high school. What about the child?"
"We'll think about it later." Lu Xingzhi said, "There are a few other children like him. See if there's any way to help them find their families. If you can't find their families, send them to the orphanage in Luo City. I'll personally sponsor the children's schooling. These children are all troublemakers in the vicinity of the military region. It's good to make arrangements for them."
There were many villages near the military region. These children affected the children in the military region, so naturally, they affected the children of the villagers as well. Lu Xingzhi would also benefit from making arrangements for these troublemakers.
However, he wasn't going to tell Jiang Yao too much about official matters. He guessed that Jiang Yao could guess his intentions.
He came out of the military region of Province A, so he needed to do something that would allow him to gain a foothold quickly.
This was one of the opportunities that came knocking on his door.
When Lu Xingzhi went to pour a cup of tea for Jiang Yao, he saw that the child had finished washing her face and was standing at the door hesitantly, as if she wanted to go in but didn't dare to. Lu Xingzhi called out to her, "Come in!"
After the child came in, Lu Xingzhi continued, "Think about what I just told you. If you agree, I'll send you and your friends to the orphanage in Luo City. I'll pay for your education. If you don't agree, you can leave after lunch."
When Lu Xingzhi poured the water, he blocked the child's view, so Jiang Yao couldn't see how the child looked after washing her face. When Lu Xingzhi returned to her side with the glass of water, Jiang Yao's face slowly entered Jiang Yao's vision.
The child's face was always dirty because he had been wandering around all year round. In addition, he had been beaten a few times by Colonel Ye's wife, so Jiang Yao could not tell what the child looked like.
But now, she could see clearly. After she saw clearly, she was completely dumbfounded!
The child's face was still red and swollen, but that didn't stop Jiang Yao from recalling how the child looked like when he grew up through his facial features.
It was also the child's appearance that reminded Jiang Yao of the heart-wrenching rainy night.
This child was clearly the young soldier who went to the small mountain village with Lu Xingzhi to participate in the rescue mission. At that time, it was this little soldier who hugged Lu Xingzhi's belongings and cried as if he had lost someone very important.
Jiang Yao really didn't expect to see the little soldier from back then in this way. She also didn't expect that the little soldier who was fair and clean in her impression would look like this when he was young.
