1167: How He Spent It?

How He Spent It?

"That kid..." Mrs. Lin scolded him with a smile. Then, she turned to Jiang Yao and asked, "Sergeant Lu's birthday is in two days. It's rare for you to be in the army this time of the year. How are you going to celebrate his birthday?"2

"How did he spend it in the past?" Jiang Yao asked curiously.

"How could he? He was by himself then." Mrs. Lin burst into laughter. "He didn't even remember his own birthday. Every time, my husband would find someone to celebrate with him. Sometimes, he would drink some wine at my house, and sometimes he would go to the cafeteria to have a meal with him. However, Sergeant Lu did not have any reaction to his birthday in those years. I can see that his mood has started to improve over the past two days, so I think it must have been your presence. That's why he's looking forward to his birthday. He also remembered it."

Mrs. Lin was afraid that Jiang Yao would not remember it, so she was there to remind her. It was not that Jiang Yao did not even remember her own husband's birthday. It was mainly because Jiang Yao had been busy for the past few days, so she feared that Jiang Yao would forget.

Furthermore, Sergeant Lu's mood for the past few days showed that he was looking forward to that day.

There was nothing much to say about how Lu Xingzhi used to celebrate his birthday in the army. There was once when Lu Xingzhi was out on a mission on his birthday. By the time he returned, it had already been more than half a month. Mr. Lin called for someone to help him make up for it, and Lu Xingzhi felt that it was troublesome to reject it.

"Your husband is completely different from mine. It is the beginning of the month, and my husband is already talking about his birthday. Sergeant Lu is a reserved person, so he won't bring it up. I'm afraid that you'd forget about it because of your busy schedule. Even though he won't bring it up, as his wife, you'll have to remember it and put in some effort."

"There's no difference." Jiang Yao smiled. Colonel Lin only reminded her when it was already the middle of the month. Lu Xingzhi had already reminded her for several months.

Lu Xingzhi was not only annoying, but he was also indecent.

Although Lu Xingzhi was usually bored with other people, he was never that way with her. It made her wonder if she had met a fake Lu Xingzhi.

"I got it, Sister Lin. I'll ask him about it later." Jiang Yao nodded and smiled. "You know about my culinary skills, right? I'm not good at it."

What Jiang Yao meant was to ask Lu Xingzhi if he wanted to invite anyone home for dinner that day. However, with her cooking skills, if she invited anyone, Lu Xingzhi would have to cook again. When that time came, Lu Xingzhi would be very tired.

Mrs. Lin realized that Jiang Yao had not forgotten, so she nodded and confirmed it. She was not good at cooking either, so she understood Jiang Yao's thoughts.

At that moment, the two of them were very much in sync with each other and envied those wives who were great at cooking. They did not know how those women could learn to cook an entire table of delicious dishes in such a short time.

After Mrs. Lin left, Jiang Yao retrieved her phone and sent a message to Zhou Weiqi; she wanted to know how long it had taken him to practice his cooking skills.

When she saw Zhou Weiqi's reply, Jiang Yao threw her phone back onto the sofa and chose to return to her room to continue working on her little handiwork.

If she could not do it, then she would not force herself. If she cooked some bad dishes, Lu Xingzhi would be the one to suffer.

However, she could still bake a birthday cake!

Jiang Yao remembered that Mrs. Lin said that her house had an oven!

In two days, she could go to Mrs. Lin's house early in the morning and borrow the oven to make a birthday cake for Lu Xingzhi. Although she did not know how to cook, she knew how to make desserts. That was also her gift to him.
