Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 1173

Jiang Yao returned home and waited for the chief's call. She waited until it was almost noon before it finally arrived. Jiang Yao began to look forward to the time that the chief had set aside for her.

It was the day after the next, which was the day after Lu Xingzhi's birthday.

She seemed to need a reason to deceive Lu Xingzhi ahead of time. She could not let Lu Xingzhi figure out her scheme.

Lu Xingzhi would definitely go home to cook at midday if Jiang Yao was at home. Even though his lunch break was brief and he could opt to bring it back from the cafeteria, Lu Xingzhi did not mind the hassle and went home to cook every day.

They cooked pretty quickly; there were two dishes and a soup. Lu Xingzhi's cooking abilities improved all the time. He could satisfy Jiang Yao's appetite with one meat and one vegetable dish.

"I'm going to the city with Mrs. Lin tomorrow morning." Jiang Yao drank the soup and looked at Lu Xingzhi as she talked about her plans for the next day. "Do you want Colonel Lin and the others to come over for dinner? If so, I'll bring more food back from the city tomorrow."

"No need."

Lu Xingzhi shook his head. He did not intend to let anyone disturb him and Jiang Yao. He had hoped that there were only the two of them during the New Year, and he had hoped for the same on his birthday.

"So you don't have to go to the city to buy groceries," Lu Xingzhi said. "We still have many in the fridge. When Mom and Dad were here, they also brought a lot of bacon from home. They were all frozen on the balcony."

In the north, the temperature could be as low as minus 10 to 20 degrees Celsius in winter, so there was no need to use the fridge. The balcony was a natural refrigerator, so it was convenient to freeze everything there.

For example, the family members in the army who lived in a courtyard would freeze their new year's vegetables and meat in the yard to keep them until the weather warmed.
