Chapter 42 Self-introduction
Because he didn't dare to ruin Hu Daxi's plan, Gu Zhenhua didn't dare to play tricks. He could only pretend to be injured, took a piece of gauze, and hung his arm up.
And be prepared to not say a word for a while, it would be best if you become as honest as a fool.
Young girls hate people who are stupid and don't know how to deal with things the most.
When Gu Zhenhua arrived at Hu's house, Hu Daxi was surprised to see his arm and asked, "When did you get injured? Is it serious?"
"I accidentally touched an old injury yesterday, so I bandaged it."
Whether it was serious or not, Gu Zhenhua did not say, and was prepared to act according to circumstances. If pretending to be honest didn't work, he could also pretend to be disabled.
"Uncle will go get you a glass of water. Wait a minute, Xiaonan will be back soon."
As they were talking, Lin Xiangnan came back with a watermelon in his arms, followed by a bunch of children, "Grandma, help us share the watermelon."
Before grandma could say anything, Hu Daxi rushed out of the room and chased them away, "Go away, kids, go play over there, and come back to eat watermelon in the evening. Xiaonan, come here."
Seeing this situation, Lin Xiangnan suddenly remembered what Hu Daxi had said before, about introducing someone to someone.
Hu Meili has introduced so many candidates to Lin Xiangnan, but she has never introduced a soldier. It may be because it is inconvenient to be in the army and there is not much time off.
Although this new blind date had a bad reputation, Lin Xiangnan didn't take it seriously.
Who doesn't rebel when they are young? Just because he was a yellow-haired scoundrel before, he can't be a decent person now. And he is in the army now, so he has no place to do anything naughty.
Even if the other party is a jerk, she is not someone who can be easily bullied.
Seeing that Lin Xiangnan was moving slowly, Hu Daxi quickly led her into the house and said, "You young people can chat first. I'll go wash the fruit for you."
The sun was not very strong today, but when Lin Xiangnan came back from outside holding a watermelon, there was still a thin layer of sweat on his forehead and his face was slightly red, like a steaming peach, which looked sweet and delicious.
Gu Zhenhua originally planned to sit still and pretend to be dead, but when he saw Lin Xiangnan enter the room, his throat rolled and he stood up unconsciously.
"Gu Zhenhua?" Lin Xiangnan looked him up and down. The arrogance between his eyebrows looked very familiar. "I saw you last time."
"Yes. I met him last time at the state-owned hotel." Gu Zhenhua couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
When they met for the first time, he thought the girl was pretty, so Ma Pingchuan took the initiative to talk to her, but he was embarrassed and didn't say a word.
Gu Zhenhua had never expected that the person Hu Daxi introduced to him was actually Lin Xiangnan. It was obvious that the two of them had a deep connection, and his heart began to beat fast when he thought of this.
He took the initiative to move a stool for Lin Xiangnan and said, "Comrade Lin, I am 24 years old this year. I joined the army when I was 16 and served as a soldier for eight years. I am now a deputy battalion commander and my monthly salary is 89 yuan..."
"My uncle never told me this." But Lin Xiangnan didn't care. She just looked at the other person's face seriously. She was very satisfied with Gu Zhenhua's appearance, and then asked, "How tall are you?"
"One meter eighty-five."
Lin Xiangnan smiled secretly in her heart. This guy is not bad. She likes his figure, height and looks.
Only after he was satisfied with the appearance did Lin Xiangnan feel like continuing the conversation. He asked with concern, "What's wrong with your hand?"
"It's a minor injury. I was just accidentally bumped into it. It's not serious." Gu Zhenhua silently removed the gauze.
"How many days do you have left on your vacation? Are you going back soon?" Lin Xiangnan asked curiously. Although her appearance was acceptable, she still had to get to know his personality through getting along with him. If his personality was not suitable, she would have to let down her uncle's kindness.
"Yes. I only have a few days left of my vacation." Seeing Lin Xiangnan's disappointed expression, Gu Zhenhua quickly said: "But this time is enough for us to get to know each other."
My uncle has praised Gu Zhenhua's character more than once, and his temper seems to be really good. The only pity is that there is too little time left for them to get to know each other.
But a short vacation also has its advantages. If she marries Gu Zhenhua, not only can she stay in the city, but they can also live their own lives. He is busy with his own things, and she has her own fun. How free they are.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiangnan became a little more satisfied with Gu Zhenhua, but this guy was not without troubles.
"My uncle told me about the Gu family's situation..."
Before Lin Xiangnan finished speaking, Gu Zhenhua expressed his opinion directly.
"You don't have to bother with the Gu family. With my rank, my family can stay with the army and don't have to live in the Gu family. If you ask, I can also marry into your family and live there."
"I have to go on a mission after my vacation. When I come back, I will apply for housing and let you accompany the army."
"There's no need to follow the army. And it's too early to talk about this now." Lin Xiangnan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
What a good tool husband! He has a good temper, a good figure, no trouble from the in-laws, and he only appears for a few dozen days a year.
In order to give the young man more contact time, Hu Daxi spent a long time washing peaches in the kitchen. Just as he was about to bring the plates to the room, he was stopped by his youngest son.
"Dad, these are peaches, aren't you going to peel them?"
Hu Daxi waved his hand to chase him away, "Peel? Don't force me to peel it for you. You didn't even wash it when you ate it last year, but now you're so particular about it."
The little cousin said loudly: "How can it be the same? This is for my sister Xiaonan to eat!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhenhua quickly stood up and came out to help, "I'll cut it, I'll cut it, I'm good with a knife."
The younger cousin was not polite either, and reminded her: "Peel it, cut it into pieces and put toothpicks in it. Don't let my sister get her hands dirty when she eats it."
"Okay. Got it."
Seeing Gu Zhenhua's positive attitude, Hu Daxixi showed a subtle expression on his face, and his eyes became meaningful.
This kid is finally getting it.
The little cousin was acting as the supervisor, watching Gu Zhenhua peeling peaches. Lin Xiangxi, his younger brother, was also busy, coming over with a large palm-leaf fan to fan Lin Xiangnan.
"Sister, are you hot? Do you want some popsicles?"
Seeing these troublesome little brats making trouble at home, Hu Daxi's eyes became dangerous and he silently picked up the feather duster on the cupboard.
After he frightened them like this, Lin Xiangxi and the others all shrank their necks and quickly hid.
Hu Daxi specially sent all the idle people out of the house today, but these little brats didn't listen to his orders at all.
Although today's blind date went smoothly, in the evening, Hu Daxi still dragged his youngest son and Lin Xiangxi out, criticized them, and made them stand in the yard as punishment.
Then Hu Daxi sent Hu Taohua, who had just finished her shift, to find out what Lin Xiangnan was thinking.
He could see Gu Zhenhua's attitude, but he was not sure about Lin Xiangnan's thoughts. As far as he knew, Lin Xiangnan had rejected countless high-quality young people. Hu Meili was almost so angry that she cursed in the street.
They were all family, so there was nothing to hide. When Hu Taohua asked, Lin Xiangnan said, "The first impression was not bad."
Lin Xiangnan had been on blind dates before, and every time he met a girl, she turned yellow. Gu Zhenhua was the first one who was rated as good.
When Walnut Flower heard this, she boasted proudly, "I told you he's a good guy, you should like him. He's much better than the guy I dated last time."
Thinking that Hu Taohua is also looking for a partner now, Lin Xiangnan couldn't help but ask: "Since you like this person, why don't you do it yourself?"
"I don't have a house, and I don't want to live in the Gu family. And..." Hu Taohua paused, and said awkwardly: "Gu Zhen Huaren is pretty good now. But he was so annoying when he was a child. He snatched my food and beat me until I cried several times. It left a psychological trauma on me."
Lin Xiangnan was shocked: "He even beats girls?"
"There's no need to distinguish between boys and girls when we were young. Anyway, everyone on our street who is about the same age as Gu Zhenhua has been beaten by him."
Walnut Flower said with some gloating: "Although I haven't seen him do it since he joined the army. But a debt from childhood is still a debt. He deserves to be single for so many years."
