"I miss you, that's all." Jiang Yao curled her lips and smiled at Lu Xingzhi. "Oh yes, why are you back at this time?"
This was too long ago that Jiang Yao could not recall what had happened on this day of the summer holidays. She could remember vaguely that the summer holidays after her college entrance examination were quite turbulent and choppy.
Lu Xingzhi, on the other hand, had not heard Jiang Yao's question. His mind lingered deep in limbo the moment he heard her remark I miss you'...
Did his wife just say that she missed him?
Lu Xingzhi was a little skeptical of what he heard, wondering if it was all just a dream. Huh, who would have thought that Jiang Yao would hug him and said she missed him?
"There's a phone at home. You can just call me directly at the military base whenever you miss me, don't hold back," Lu Xingzhi said solemnly. It didn't matter whether Jiang Yao was really missing him or not, he certainly missed Jiang Yaothat was the truth.
The Lu family was considered well-to-do in this town. Lu Haitian, Lu Xingzhi's father, was the head of the teaching department of the middle school in town, while Lu Xingzhi's mother was the language teacher at the primary school. Meanwhile, Lu Haixing, Lu Haitian's younger brother, was the owner of the largest brick factory and food factory in the county. The two brothers retained such a good brotherhood relationship that Lu Haixing was willing to share some of his wealth with his brother. Lu Haitian owned some of the factories' shares. Although the business affairs of the brick and food factories were not a concern to Lu Haitian, he obtained lucrative dividends from the businesses annually. Therefore, the Lu family was well-known as a rich family in the town and even the entire county.
For example, there were only two double-story villas in this town, both owned by the Lu brothers. One was Lu Haixing's home and the other was the one Jiang Yao was currently living in.
The phone had been installed at their house a long time ago. Whenever Mrs. Lu missed her son and daughter, she would call them on the phone and talk for a dozen or twenty minutes, the bill being the last concern on her mind.
