While Lu Xingzhi was cooking in the kitchen, Jiang Yao leaned against the kitchen door and watched him. As she thought about how her family would go to the army after the New Year, she said, "When our parents come here, they will probably stay for a night. What should we do about their sleeping arrangements? Should they sleep on the study and living room floor? Do we need blankets?"
"No need. The army has a guest house. I have already arranged for it. When the time comes, a few rooms will be vacated," Lu Xingzhi said. "Since you chose the curtains at home, I will take them down then and send them to our new place, which will be renovated according to that style."
"Sure!" Jiang Yao nodded. "What about the furniture?"
"It's not easy to send large pieces. Ask Sergeant Yang and Major Zhu about who would move in here." Lu Xingzhi thought that he could send the curtains that Jiang Yao had chosen to their new place.
However, the renovation would not be completed that quickly. They would need to stay in a temporary residence for a period. They could only move in after the place was done.
The south was not like the north. The south was humid, so he was a little afraid of moving there. Lu Xingzhi thought he could tile the entire place. He would not mind it, but he was worried that Jiang Yao would not be comfortable there.
The couple did not cook much, so dinner was done fairly quickly. While they were at the dinner table, Lu Xingzhi started to talk about what had happened in the morning.
"I heard that a few military wives came to look for you this morning." Lu Xingzhi gave Jiang Yao a mouthful of food. "I know that you can tell their baby's gender. The army has been talking about it all morning. No matter who comes to look for you, don't help them."
