"I just miss you a little." Jiang Yao smiled at Lu Xingzhi. "Oh yeah, why did you come back at this time?"
It had been so long ago that Jiang Yao could no longer remember what happened on this day during the summer vacation. However, she remembered that the summer vacation after her college entrance exams was not a peaceful one for her.
Lu Xingzhi acted as though he did not hear Jiang Yao's question. His mind was filled with Jiang Yao's reply that she just missed him …
Did his wife just say that she missed him?
Lu Xingzhi could not believe his ears. He wondered if he was dreaming. Ha ~ Would Jiang Yao hug him and say that she missed him one day?
"There's a phone at home. If you miss me, you can directly call the military to look for me. You don't have to hold it in anymore." Lu Xingzhi said seriously. Regardless of whether Jiang Yao really missed him or not, it was a fact that he missed Jiang Yao.
The Lu family was one of the best in town. Although Father Lu, Lu Haitian, was just a teaching director in the town's middle school and Mother Lu was just a language teacher in an elementary school, Father Lu's younger brother, Lu Haixing, was the owner of the county's largest brick factory and food factory. The two brothers were very close. When Lu Haixing earned money, he would always give his brother a hand and let his brother own a portion of the factory's shares. Therefore, although Lu Haitian did not have to worry about the brick factory and food factory, he still received a lot of dividends every year. Therefore, the Lu family was famous in town and even the entire county for being rich.
For example, the two-story villa that Jiang Yao was living in now. There were only two such villas in town. One was Lu Haixing's house, and the other was the Lu family's house where Jiang Yao was living now.
The house was also equipped with a telephone a long time ago. When Mother Lu missed her son and daughter, she would directly use the house phone. Often, it would take ten to twenty minutes to make a call. She did not feel the slightest bit of heartache for the money spent on the phone calls.
Seeing that Jiang Yao didn't speak, Lu Xingzhi didn't say anything more. He couldn't figure out what Jiang Yao meant. It was said that a woman's heart was as deep as the bottom of the ocean. Lu Xingzhi really believed this, just like how he couldn't figure out Jiang Yao's heart.
Suddenly recalling Jiang Yao's question, Lu Xingzhi realized that Jiang Yao was waiting for him to answer. "I didn't have any urgent matters to attend to in the army these past few days, so I applied for leave to come back. Excluding the time spent on the road, I can stay at home for two days and two nights."
Lu Xingzhi was calculating the time. Jiang Yao's acceptance letter should arrive in the next few days, so he wanted to apply for leave to come back. The weather in the north was very different from his hometown, after all. After thinking it over in the army, he felt more at ease when he came back home to tell his wife about it personally.
Jiang Yao nodded and made a sound of acknowledgment. Then she lowered her head and looked at the tips of her feet without saying another word.
In the past, hearing his voice always made her feel especially annoyed. Even though he rarely spoke, it still made her feel noisy. But today, when his voice entered her ears, she felt a little warm.
At that moment, she could faintly hear people talking downstairs.
Could Dad and Mom be back? When I called Mom, she said she would apply for leave to come back after her morning classes. I think I heard Dad's voice too. " Lu Xingzhi saw that Jiang Yao was listening attentively, so he explained. Then he looked at Jiang Yao and said, "Change your clothes and go downstairs. I'll wait for you downstairs."
With that, Lu Xingzhi took the initiative to leave. Then he closed the door and went downstairs.
