Sister-in-law Ding smiled and looked at Shen Mengya, "Mengya, what do you think of Comrade Sun?"
"Me." Shen Mengya already had the answer in her heart. She said to Sun Lei, "I'm sorry, Comrade Sun. I feel that the two of us are not suitable, so I won't keep you any longer."
Sun Lei was rejected, and his expression quickly turned cold, but he maintained his basic manners and still smiled at Shen Mengya.
"It's okay. Blind dates don't always guarantee a match. Maybe it's just that our paths haven't crossed yet. But I still wish you find the right one for you soon."
"Thanks."
Sun Lei got up and left first, but Commander Ding and his wife were a little anxious. Shen Mengya didn't even like Sun Lei, so what would they think of the less desirable ones they would introduce?
Grandma Lu, however, urged them to continue introducing Shen Mengya to potential partners. Commander Ding and his wife both agreed, and perhaps there really was a bastard who would be a good match for Shen Mengya.
After they returned, neither Lu Zhengting nor Lin Qingyan inquired about it. Judging from the expressions of Old Madam Lu and Shen Mengya, it was clear that the relationship hadn't worked out.
The next day, Shen Mengya got up early to cook. Lin Qingyan felt that it was alright to suddenly have a nanny at home. At least one of the two women had to do the work, so things were more peaceful. She wasn't home much during the day, so she didn't see them and didn't have to worry about them.
That evening, Grandma Lu asked Lu Zhengting how his inquiry went. Lu Zhengting told her, "The young officers I know who are in good condition are all either in relationships or married. Those who are neither in relationships nor married are just a bit ugly."
"How shabby could it be?" Old Mrs. Lu asked, her eyes wide.
"Your face is a bit rough, like dry tree bark, is that okay?" He made up a condition on the spot.
As expected, the old lady was disgusted, saying, "You might as well say you're like a toad in a well."
"Grandma, that person looks much better than a toad. What's a toad compared to that? The person just had a lot of pimples on their face and some pits, but it's nothing serious."
Grandma Lu shook her head and looked at Shen Mengya, who also shook her head.
"Besides these, don't you have any single young men under you?"
"Yes, there are plenty, they're all green recruits, but I don't know any of them."
"Forget it, let's not take the greenhorn. Who knows if he'll have a future? Mengya and I will go to Xiao Ding's house instead."
The young man introduced by Commander Ding and his wife today was slightly inferior to Sun Lei from yesterday. He was about the same height as Sun Lei, but his features were not as outstanding. Although this young man was more talkative than Sun Lei, Shen Mengya still rejected him with a single sentence.
On the third day, Commander Ding invited three people over in one night, but Shen Mengya still didn't like any of them, which made Commander Ding so anxious that he scratched his head.
"I'm afraid there aren't any suitable young men for Mengya in our group."
Grandma Lu also sighed, "If you know any young men from other troupes, introduce them to him too."
I'll do my best.
But on the fourth day, Commander Ding called over young men from other regiments, and Shen Mengya still didn't like them.
Commander Ding and his wife were both worried. They couldn't very well organize a social gathering in the army just for Shen Mengya.
Even if we organize a social event, what if Shen Mengya still doesn't like those guys? It would all be a waste of effort.
Five days passed, and Shen Mengya still hadn't found her "ideal" partner.
Lu Zhengting felt that she should back down. Although his wife hadn't said anything to Shen Mengya these past few days, letting Shen Mengya stay in this house must have made her feel uncomfortable.
While they were eating, he said to Grandma Lu and Shen Mengya, "Grandma, Mengya has been looking at quite a few young men, and they're all the same. There's nothing fun here, so you might as well go back to Beijing."
Lu Zhengting felt no burden at all in asking them to leave, and Old Madam Lu was not angry about it.
She said to Shen Mengya, "Mengya, you're too picky. Why don't we go back to Beijing? Let's not go on any blind dates for now. Maybe in a year or two, you'll naturally meet the right person for you."
"Grandma, I don't want to leave yet." Her plan hadn't been implemented yet. "It wasn't easy for us to come all this way, let me think about it some more. What if I leave today and my true love appears tomorrow? Let's wait and see."
"Okay, then we'll wait a little longer."
“If that person doesn’t show up in a couple of days, we’ll go back to Beijing,” Lu Zhengting said.
Shen Mengya nodded reluctantly, "Okay."
It seems I need to implement my plan as soon as possible.
However, after waiting for two more days, Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting still went to work and left work together, and were even more inseparable at night, so she had no chance to make a move.
Grandma Lu was too embarrassed to ask Commander Ding and his wife to introduce her to any more potential partners.
"Mengya, if we can't find a suitable one here, let's go back to Beijing."
"grandmother."
Seeing that she was still hesitant, Old Mrs. Lu couldn't help but become suspicious.
“Mengya, tell Grandma the truth. Did you really come here just to find a partner? Xiao Ding and his wife have introduced you to so many people, but you basically rejected them after just a glance. Now that there’s no one left to meet, you’re still lingering here. Tell me, do you have some other purpose? If you still want to break up that couple, Grandma won’t keep you company. You can stay here by yourself.”
"Grandma, no, I don't want to break them up. I just want to give myself another chance."
“The people that Mr. and Mrs. Ding introduced to you are all top-notch, but you just don’t like them. You won’t find anyone better.”
