While Li Shuitian was queueing to make a purchase, Lu Jiang kept his eyes and ears open, focusing most of his attention on his children and the remainder on the crowd in the grocery store.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar face.
It was so familiar that he recognized it instantly, rubbing his eyes and looking again, only to find the owner of the face had already left their original spot, probably having left the grocery store.
"Shuitian," called Lu Jiang, "did I just see Lu Zhaodi?"
Li Shuitian collected his change from the butcher master and said, "You're not mistaken, it's her."
Lu Jiang was startled, "How could she be here?"
Could it be that Jiu Hong had left the army? Lu Jiang somewhat regretted not asking Ye Zhengjun for the latest army news.
"Hongzhu always says misery loves company!" Li Shuitian did not directly answer Lu Jiang's question, instead, he remarked with a sigh, "Is it not a coincidence? Jiu Hong and Lu Zhaodi's home is just a wall away from ours!"
