It was an undeniable truth that he did not have any holidays left for him to return to his hometown during the New Year holidays.
"I'm coming back." Jiang Yao answered swiftly without any hesitation. "I have made that decision a long time ago. I will be staying at my home for a few days before the holidays. Then, I will rush back to your platoon and celebrate the New Year with you. That was the reason why I was rushing to get the house ready so that I would not be worried about not having enough time to tidy up the house."
Jiang Yao was even considering whether or not she should buy a refrigerator. However, she gave up on the idea eventually.
Based on what Lu Xingzhi told her, the coldest temperature in Jin City was as low as negative ten to twenty degree celsius, especially during the first few days of the new year, and it was a norm for it to snow. Unlike the states in the south, the weather during the new year was unpredictable. It could get to one or two degree celsius when it was cold or shoot right up to twenty degree celsius when it was hot.
Therefore, goods which were bought during the new year could be stored for a long period of time due to the cold weather. People could even place the goods at the corner of their balconies. The goods would freeze and there would be no need for a refrigerator.
When she was not home, Lu Xingzhi would definitely not cook for himself regularly so the refrigerator would not be put to good use even if she did buy one. She could just wait and buy the big electrical appliances after she had graduated and joined Lu Xingzhi in his platoon.
After dinner, Lu Xingzhi went to wash the dishes automatically. At the same time, he even heated up the water for them to bathe. No matter how big or small the things were, he would not want Jiang Yao to move at all if it were something he could handle.
