It was too abnormal. No matter how much the children played in the past, they had never left home for dinner. Therefore, Auntie Wang was always worried. "It's already spring. I'm afraid that these children will run to the river to play. The ice has just melted, and everywhere is wet. Why don't we go to the river to look?"
Grandma Jiang was also worried after hearing Auntie Wang's words. She nodded, and the two of them walked towards the gate of the family compound.
Unexpectedly, there were more than just two families looking for children in the compound. When the two of them arrived at the gate, two other children's mothers were also asking the soldiers guarding the gate if they knew where their children went.
The soldiers in charge of the security of the compound told the parents that they saw a few children and their classmates leaving the compound early in the morning. The soldiers tried to persuade the children to play in the compound, but the children refused to listen. They insisted that they wanted to pick some grass and would come back once they were done.
The soldiers had no choice. They had no right to stop the children from going out. The group of children happily skipped away. Until now, the soldiers had not seen any of the children return.
Just as Jiang Yao and the others had guessed, the soldiers thought that the children went to play at their classmates' houses and had a meal there.
"Did the children go to the river in the morning?" Auntie Wang asked worriedly.
"No, they went to the village and the road in the mountains," the soldier replied. "We specially looked in the direction the children went. We were also afraid that they would go to the river to play. When we saw that they were not going to the river, we stopped watching." If the children had gone to the river, the soldiers would definitely have informed the children's parents just in case.
"Then let's look in the village," Grandma Jiang said. "There's only one village close to the army. We'll know if we go there and ask."
After some discussion, the parents all agreed. The few of them then went in the direction where the children had gone to look for them.
When Lu Xingzhi came back, he saw a group of people talking and then dispersing. When he reached the door, he casually asked what was going on. When he heard the warrior say that the parents were looking for their children, Lu Xingzhi nodded and did not take it to heart. He strode back home.
Lu Xingzhi usually did not return to the family quarters in the afternoon. Naturally, they would not wait for him to eat at home. Mother Jiang had already cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks when Lu Xingzhi suddenly returned. The whole family was stunned.
"Have you eaten?" Mother Jiang asked hurriedly.
"No." Lu Xingzhi shook his head. "Are there any leftovers at home? If you don't have any, I'll have to trouble you to cook me some noodles or noodles soup. "
"Also, I'll go heat up the dishes for you." Mother Jiang smiled. "The chicken soup is still warm. Drink a bowl first. After drinking the chicken soup, it's almost time to eat."
Southerners often had soup on their dining tables. The Jiang and Lu families were also used to drinking some soup before eating. The chicken was a free-range chicken that Mother Jiang had bought from the village. The soup that was stewed was very delicious.
Jiang Yao pulled out a chair and sat beside Lu Xingzhi. She asked casually, "Why did you come back at noon?"
"Nothing." Lu Xingzhi touched Jiang Yao's stomach through her clothes. This had become a habit. As long as his wife was beside him, he could not help but want to touch it.
