Lu Xingzhi whispered into her ear, "When I was born, a fortune-teller said that I would live to be ninety years old. He said that I would have a benefactor in my life. He also said that I would have a meteoric rise in my career. What made me the happiest was that the fortune-teller also said that I would grow old with my wife and have many children."
"Liar!" Because she had cried, her voice was very nasal. Her snort sounded like she was acting coquettishly.
Lu Xingzhi's heart softened. "Why don't you believe me? Haven't you always wanted to give birth to a child for me? When you graduate, we'll have two in three years! Big Brother wants three, and we'll have four. When the time comes, I'll teach them how to play mahjong and let them gather at a table. Whoever wins will mop the floor, and whoever loses will do the laundry and cook. The four children will serve you, the empress! "
Lu Xingzhi became more enthusiastic as he spoke. "Four children. Each of us will give birth to four children. That's forty-six. Sixteen children. Each of us will have four children. Do the math. When the time comes, won't we all form a big row?"
Jiang Yao sniffled. She didn't want to tell Lu Xingzhi that the country would start implementing family planning in a few years. How could she give birth to four children?
"Wife, if you don't want to go back to school, how about I send you to the capital? Let Old Fourth and Old Fifth accompany you? " Lu Xingzhi said, "You won't be familiar with anyone in the army. I'm afraid you'll be bored."
"Okay!" Jiang Yao thought about it and agreed. If she followed Old Fourth and Old Fifth, she would at least receive news faster. She could also find a chance to visit Old Madam Liang at the hospital and see how she was doing.
"Then go tidy up your clothes." Lu Xingzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had finally coaxed his wife. In the capital, there would be more people taking care of her. With someone accompanying her, he was also afraid that she would let her imagination run wild at home every day. It would be easier to arrange three meals a day.
Lu Xingzhi didn't have much time. After the two of them tidied up their things, they went downstairs.
At the entrance of the military base, Mrs. Lin held onto Colonel Lin with one hand. Her eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had just cried.
"This is?" Colonel Lin looked at Lu Xingzhi holding Jiang Yao's hand and asked in confusion.
Lu Xingzhi gave a simple explanation. "We're on our way to Jingdu to meet up with the others. I'm sending my wife to Jingdu. I'll be worried if no one takes care of her when I'm not around."
"Okay, get in the car." Colonel Lin looked at Jiang Yao, whose eyes were just as red as his wife's. He sighed in his heart. It was Lu Xingzhi's wife's first visit, yet she encountered such a situation. It was hard for her not to cry, throw a tantrum, and threaten to hang herself.
Lu Xingzhi held onto Jiang Yao's hand and got into the back seat. Colonel Lin got into the front passenger seat. Mrs. Lin held onto the door handle, tears streaming down her face.
When the car started, she was still holding onto it tightly, unwilling to let go. She kept repeating, "Old Lin, the child and I will wait for you at home. I will take good care of the child. We will wait for you at home. You have to come back."
The previous team's ending was so tragic that everyone was tense.
"I'll remember. Let go and go back quickly." Even a man like Colonel Lin choked on his tears when he saw his wife like this.
This was the most difficult and dangerous mission he had ever taken on since he joined the military.
