Lu Xingzhi was silent. After all, he did everything he could for Sergeant Ge.
They went back home after the dinner at the canteen. Lu Xingzhi closed the windows right after he entered the house. Since heating was centralized here at the platoon, he was worried that Jiang Yao would get chilly.
The night was still young. Lu Xingzhi sat in his study listening to the radio broadcast while reading a book. Jiang Yao sat beside him and fixed her gaze onto him.
She broke into a smile only when he looked up and met her gaze.
"Come here." Lu Xingzhi was in a jovial mood. He knew that Jiang Yao was looking at him all this time and he felt really good about it.
She got closer and was pulled into his embrace. She sat on his lap.
Jiang Yao was very candid about it. There was no one else around them, they could do whatever they wanted. She nuzzled on his chest a little bit before saying, "I have an idea, do you want to hear it? It's about the soldiers in your platoon."
Lu Xingzhi was a little surprised. "Sure."
"Some first aid is going to help the doctors tremendously down the line by prolonging the soldiers' live." Jiang Yao looked at Lu Xingzhi. His eyes twitched, signifying that he was listening intently. "We can teach them how to recognize some herbs and plants commonly found, taking advantage of the environment to save themselves."
Jiang Yao knew that the soldiers would often conduct missions or trainings in the wild. Having knowledge of some medicinal herbs and plants was advantageous as it allowed them to identify which plant could be used to stop bleeding, which plant could be used to reduce swelling and etc.
"Once I return to Nanjiang City, I plan to start a pharmaceutical manufacturing company. I will prepare a manufacturing line just for the military." Jiang Yao looked at Lu Xingzhi after she stopped talking.
