Shen Jiao looked at the old lady with doubt in her eyes.
The old lady said directly, "I saw your husband talking to a soldier in the woods a few days ago. I asked him and he told me."
Chen Jiao: ...
Even she didn't know that a soldier had come to see Lu Zhengxu.
But now is not the time to dwell on such trivial matters.
She nodded, "Well, Zhengxu said that it would be safer for us to go with him to the army."
The old lady has seen many ups and downs in her life, and she already knows many things without having to be explained clearly.
"A family should be together." The old lady said as she stood up.
There was less arrogance and sarcasm as usual in her voice, but more emotion and loneliness.
Chen Jiao's mind moved slightly. After spending some time with the old lady, she found that although every word she said was hurtful, she had a really good heart.
As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a father. Since she has chosen the old lady as her teacher, she should take care of her until the end of her life.
"Master, please come with us. I'll try to get another spot." She blurted out.
The original owner's brother is also an officer, and she can ask her brother for help.
The old lady paused slightly.
He looked towards the other side of the grove, in the direction of Old Xu's house, and shook his head, saying, "Forget it. I'm old and have gotten used to living in this forest over the years. I don't want to move anymore."
When Chen Jiao saw the look in the old lady's eyes just now, she understood that the old lady would not abandon Mr. Xu and leave with them.

"Girl, this is for you. Cook well in the future. Don't forget that you said you would open restaurants all over China and even go abroad."
Chen Jiao solemnly took the box from the old lady's hand, and her eyes were full of sincere gratitude when she looked at the old lady.
The old lady turned her face away and didn't look at her.
The old lady said in a voice full of vicissitudes: "You don't need to come here anymore. Look at the things I give you carefully and remember them well."
When Chen Jiao heard this, she subconsciously thought that the box the old lady gave her should be full of books on recipes and medicinal foods.
For some reason, she felt a little sad when she saw the old lady's calm but weathered appearance.
She knelt down in front of the old lady sincerely and kowtowed three times, saying: "Thank you, Master, for your teachings. Even if I have to leave this place temporarily, I will definitely respect Master and take care of him until his death!"
The old lady accepted her three greetings before returning to her usual appearance, and said impatiently, "Alright, I'm not going to die yet, so you don't need to collect my body.
Go away quickly and don't bother me here. ”
