Lu Xingzhi knew better than to pursue Jiang Yao for answers. He was a very observant person and by noticing Jiang Yao's expression, he knew the answer was not as positive as he wanted it to be.
As they just returned, there was not much food at home. After cleaning the house, they went to the canteen together for dinner. Coincidentally, Colonel Lin and Mrs. Lin were there too. Mrs. Lin waved at them and motioned for them to have their meals together.
"I'll go get us food; you go wait over there." Lu Xingzhi pushed Jiang Yao toward Mrs. Lim and waited in line.
"Hard at work?" Mrs. Lin asked cheerily. "Things are very dusty back at our place after our prolonged absence."
"Do you need any help, Mrs. Lin?" Jiang Yao had Lu Xingzhi to help around with the cleaning. Since Colonel Lin was not able to help yet, she offered her assistance.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Lin can manage it, she got it under control," Colonel Lin replied.
