"Colonel Lin, Mrs. Lin!" Jiang Yao couldn't help but smile when she saw the two of them. She greeted the couple who were fooling around as they walked over.
Only then did Colonel Lin realize that there were still two people standing there. He quickly changed his expression, turned to his wife, and pretended to say, "Fooling around in the army isn't a proper thing to do!"
"Fine! I'll whip you when we get home! " Mrs. Lin spat at Colonel Lin, then walked over to Jiang Yao. She was pleasantly surprised. "Sergeant Lu, you're back so soon? Jiang Yao is here too! You're finally here. We haven't seen each other for a few months, but it feels like forever. Even my son would ask when you're coming back from time to time. "
"Looks like I'm loved by everyone," Jiang Yao praised herself shamelessly.
"Of course, everyone loves you, right? Alright, Mrs. Lin, I won't chat with you two here. You just came back, so I'm sure you don't have any food at home. Come over to my place for dinner tonight. " Mrs. Lin smiled and waved at Jiang Yao, then shook the cloth bag in her hand. "I just bought some fresh vegetables. You're in for a treat tonight."
After accepting Mrs. Lin's invitation, Jiang Yao followed Lu Xingzhi upstairs. When Lu Xingzhi opened the door, Jiang Yao leaned weakly against Lu Xingzhi's back. Suddenly, she heard the door opposite them open. Like a bird startled by the twang of a bow, she took two steps back and hurriedly moved away from Lu Xingzhi's back. She reached out to touch the tip of her nose and glanced at the opposite door.
She thought that someone would come out from the opposite door, but after waiting for a few seconds, no one came out.
"Go in." Lu Xingzhi glanced at the tightly shut door across from them, then reached out to pull Jiang Yao forward. He pushed her shoulders and pushed her into the house. After they were inside, he explained, "There's a new resident living opposite. It's a battalion commander from Battalion 3. The battalion commander's wife is pregnant, so the battalion commander's mother is here to take care of her daughter-in-law."
"Since I'm here, should I go and say hello later?" Jiang Yao asked.
"What kind of greeting?" Lu Xingzhi put Jiang Yao's luggage on the ground and said, "Battalion Commander He, who lives across the street, is a good person. His wife is very timid. The two of them are quite easy to get along with. It's just that I don't know how to describe Battalion Commander He's mother."
Lu Xingzhi didn't have any objections when Major He and his wife moved in across the street. However, after Major He's mother moved in, Lu Xingzhi found it hard to describe his recent feelings.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Yao asked.
"Right now, I'm just a company commander. Major He is a battalion commander, so he has more soldiers under his command than I do. That's probably why his mother thinks that Major He is my superior. She thinks that people who don't hold as high a position as Major He should show her respect and remember to give her anything good." Lu Xingzhi said, "That old lady is short-sighted and greedy. Whenever she likes something from someone else, she'll ask for it in a roundabout way. She's only been here for less than a month, but she's already caused a lot of trouble for Major He. Major He said that after the New Year, he's going to send her back to the countryside. When the time comes, he'll get his mother-in-law to come take care of his wife."
