Chapter 1068 Sending Warmth on New Year’s Eve
After expressing their thanks, Auntie Tang handed a bag to the emerging Lu Yiting, "This is what you left behind this afternoon; I just happened to bring it over for you."
Kong Xiangrui quickly took the bag for his wife and understood, "I almost forgot about that; I meant to take it when we left but ended up forgetting. I’ve really troubled Auntie Tang."
The dishes would still take a while, so Kong Xiangrui took his wife back to their room and invited Lu Yiting to sit down, "This must be some food prepared by your second sister-in-law; you’ve really been put through hardship. After the New Year, I’ll submit my application and try to get transferred back to Capital City as soon as possible."
Lu Yiting smiled, "Enough, I’m not that delicate. With so many people from my maternal family taking care of me, are you still worried?
I know that a temporary separation is for the sake of our better future. Don’t worry, I will not hold you back. Every family goes through this, and besides, Second Sister-in-law even arranged for Auntie Li to look after me."
Kong Xiangrui was moved, "Yiting, thank you. I will work hard to give you a good life."
Lu Yiting smiled, "Then let’s start now because I’m starving. Let’s see what’s in the bag?"
Upon opening it, they found half a salt-baked chicken, half a bag of milk powder, some dried fruits, and both of them laughed at the contents of the bag.
Lu Yiting exclaimed, "Really, so much effort was put into this. Hurry up and make me some milk; this salt-baked chicken smells so good, it’s making me drool."
After sharing the salt-baked chicken and drinking a cup of milk powder each in the room, they rinsed their mouths to avoid problems and ate a good amount of dried fruit.
