Hes at his grandmothers house. He didnt know you guys were coming today, so he went to his grandmothers house to play. When Old Lin is done with his business, he will go and pick Xiaowei up on his way back, Mrs Lin explained. I just called my mother to tell Xiao Wei that youre here. Xiao Wei was so anxious that he wanted his grandmother to send him home immediately. He couldnt wait for even a moment. It was his grandmother who persuaded him to stay.

Yes, this child is persistent. Jiang Yao smiled happily as she changed into a pair of slippers. When Mrs Lin was about to close the door, she said hurriedly, Mrs Lin, I saw a big bag in front of your house when we came in. It seemed full. Should we bring it in?

A big bag? Im home. Why would I leave something at the door? Mrs Lin was stunned; then, she stuck her head out to take a look. Oh, there is something here.

As she spoke, Mrs Lin bent down and opened the bag to take a look. Oh! Its a bag of vegetables.

Theres a note inside; see what it says. Lu Xingzhis sharp eyes saw a piece of paper in the middle of the bag.

Mrs Lin took the paper out of the bag. When she saw it, she shook her head helplessly. The battalion commanders family sent this. They say that they have a lot of vegetables and they cant finish them. So they sent some here so that Old Lin and I dont have to spend more on vegetables.

Mrs Lin stood up and said, Some of these look quite unique; something we cant find in our local market. They cant be grown in the north right now. Go in and wait for me; Ill go and return these vegetables. Its not easy to accept things from that family.

Mrs Link did not want to accept those vegetables, so she sent the bag back while the vegetables were still fresh.

Jiang Yao followed Lu Xingzhi into the Lin familys living room and sat on the sofa. Lu Xingzhi poured Jiang Yao a cup of hot tea and said, Its obvious that it was the battalion commanders mother who did that.

Fawning over the boss, Jiang Yao concluded. She knew that someone was home, but she didnt knock. Instead, she left it at the door. She knew that Mrs Lin would not accept it. And she put a note in the bag. She was afraid that Mrs Lin would accept it but not know who sent it.

Mrs Lin came back very quickly. When she was back, she was not in a good mood; she repeatedly sighed when she went through the door.

When you go back later, if the battalion commanders mother gave you a hard time, dont endure it unnecessarily. You can just scold her back, Mrs Lin said. The battalion commander and his wife are good people, but his mother is too difficult.

Mrs Lin did not say anything else. If anyone in the unit could live across Lu Xingzhis unit, who would not be anxious to think of a way to build a good relationship with his family?

The battalion commander was a straightforward man. He was not the kind of person who would play games. He was devoted to the army wholeheartedly. He was not the kind of person who was full of twists and turns. Lu Xingzhi did not expect the battalion commanders mother to behave like a different person when she moved in with her son.

The battalion commanders mother came to the army and lived opposite Lu Xingzhi. When she heard that Lu Xingzhi was only a company commander, she treated him like her sons subordinate.

Mrs Lin had heard some things too. Once, the toilet in the battalion commanders unit was blocked. The man was home, but his mother had called for Lu Xingzhis help. Lu Xingzhi thought that the womans son was not home, so he went to help. The two men saw each other in the battalion commanders house, and the battalion commander was embarrassed when he learned that Lu Xingzhi was there for the problem with his toilet.
