"Then I'll have to trouble you, Auntie."
"No trouble at all."
"When can you bring one over for Mengya to meet?" Old Mrs. Lu asked.
"Auntie, you seem to be in a hurry. Since you're here, why don't you stay at your grandson's place for a few more days?"
"I'm afraid I won't be used to living here. It's better to stay in Beijing."
"Okay, I'll try my best to arrange it. How about tonight? Let's meet someone first."
"Can."
Mrs. Lu and Shen Mengya chatted with Aunt Ding for a while longer before leaving and going back home.
When Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting returned from get off work, Shen Mengya had already prepared the meal.
Lin Qingyan sighed inwardly, "Shen Mengya has been so attentive; it's like the sun has risen in the west."
She even began to suspect that the original Shen Mengya might have died and been resurrected by some wandering ghost.
Shen Mengya not only prepared the meal, but also personally served the food and set out the bowls and chopsticks.
She then went out of her way to invite Lu Zhengting and Lin Qingyan to dinner.
"Third brother, sister-in-law, it's time to eat."
Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting washed their hands and sat down at the table. They watched as Shen Mengya and Old Madam Lu ate first before they started eating.
Grandma Lu asked Lu Zhengting, "Did you ask about the matter you promised to ask for Mengya?"
"I asked two people, and they were either already married or had found partners at home."
"Then ask again tomorrow."
"Um."
"We've already talked to Xiao Ding's wife today, and we'll go to their house tonight to meet someone."
"Alright then, you guys go ahead."
After the meal, Shen Mengya remained attentive, clearing away the dishes and taking them to the kitchen to wash.
Seeing how diligent she was, Lin Qingyan stopped going to the kitchen. Let her show off if she wanted to; it would save her the trouble.
After that, Shen Mengya went to Commander Ding's house with Old Madam Lu to make an appearance.
The regimental commander and his wife introduced Shen Mengya to a deputy company commander from the second battalion of the regiment. He was 1.85 meters tall and, needless to say, had a strong and robust build.
The young man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and regular features, except that his face was a bit tanned from being exposed to the sun.
Regiment Commander Ding introduced the young men to Shen Mengya: "This is Comrade Sun Lei, twenty-three years old this year, and he is the deputy company commander. I think Sun is the best-looking among those single officers, and he is also very capable. He and Mengya should be a good match."
"Little Sun, this is Comrade Shen Mengya. She's nineteen years old, a little younger than you. If you two become a couple, you'll have to take care of her."
Sun Lei chuckled, revealing a set of bright white teeth, "Whether Comrade Shen is older or younger than me, I will take care of her."
Sun Lei was very satisfied when he saw Shen Mengya. After all, Shen Mengya's appearance was quite outstanding, and she would rank among the top in the socialite circles of Beijing.
He greeted Shen Mengya first, and when he looked at her, his bright eyes seemed to shine.
"Comrade Shen, hello."
Compared to Sun Lei's enthusiasm, Shen Mengya seemed rather indifferent.
Because she simply looked down on Sun Lei.
Although Sun Lei can be considered a handsome and tough guy, he is far inferior to Lu Zhengting in terms of appearance and temperament. As for ability, they are the same age, but just by looking at the seats they are sitting in, you can tell how much they differ.
She gave Sun Lei a perfunctory greeting, "Hello, Comrade Sun."
Knowing that the two young people were meeting for the first time and probably didn't have much to say, Aunt Ding quickly invited Grandma Lu and Shen Mengya to sit down to avoid making it awkward for Sun Lei and Shen Mengya to stand.
Sun Lei diligently poured tea for them and affectionately called Grandma Lu "Grandma".
Grandma Lu thought Sun Lei was quite good in height and appearance. Although he was only a company commander, he was still quite good. Not everyone can be compared to Lu Zhengting.
But compared to those he met in Beijing, he was just as good-looking and had a more masculine air about him, so Shen Mengya should be able to find him attractive.
After a while, Sister Ding said, "Since you're here for a blind date, you don't need to hide whether you like someone or not. Just say it directly."
Sun Lei looked at Shen Mengya with shining eyes, "Yes, yes, yes. Just say it to her face. If it's a good match, we can date. If it's not, it won't waste everyone's time."
“Comrade Sun is right,” Sister Ding said, asking him first, “What do you think of Mengya?”
Sun Lei smiled and nodded, but seemed a little shy, rubbing his trouser legs vigorously with both hands.
"I think Comrade Shen is a good person."
