Chapter 86 Mother's Opposition.
"Hello, Engineer Chu."
A team from the Kyoto Military Region greeted the passengers at the airport.
"We are soldiers from the Kyoto Military Region. We are here to protect your safety during this mission."
Kyoto Military Region...
Responsible for her safety?
Chu Lulu looked at Xiao Jinli, as if the mission was being repeated?
The mission leader from the Kyoto Military Region bumped fists with Xiao Jinli. "I didn't expect you to be the one to lead this mission!"
It's a protection mission, and Chu Gong is also very important.
Xiao Jinli was in charge of the Independent Battalion, which was always on the edge of danger. Even the protection missions were international in nature.
This time, unexpectedly, it was him who came.
"The orders I received here are to cooperate with the Northeast Military Region's protection mission, mainly responsible for routes, food, and daily living arrangements."
"There is no conflict in the missions."
The two people quickly communicated, and the three jeeps drove along the bumpy mountain road.
"Master Chu has never been to Kyoto?"
As Li Bin drove, he glanced at Chu Lulu in the rearview mirror.
I don't know why, but I felt something was off when I saw Xiao Jinli this time.
"Yes, I've never been here."
The car fell silent again.
Li Bin winked at Xiao Jinli. He was a man who grew up in the military and had never interacted with female comrades before, nor did he know how!
Xiao Jinli took out a military water bottle. "Thirsty? Have some water."
"good."
Chu Lulu took a sip of water. It wasn't that she didn't want to talk; her ears were still ringing!
No matter how loud she was, he couldn't hear her clearly.
Do you want some?
After Chu Lulu finished drinking her water, she naturally handed the water bottle over.
Under Li Bin's incredulous gaze, Xiao Jinli's Adam's apple bobbed as he took a few sips of water, then capped the kettle and set it aside.
"My wife."
"The kind where they've submitted a marriage certificate."
"The kind where we get the marriage certificate right away."
Xiao Jinli, holding Chu Lulu's hand, suddenly raised it and then made an introduction.
Depend on!
Li Bin almost slammed on the brakes!
Can someone tell him what evil spirit possessed Xiao Jinli?
Was that smug look on his face really Xiao the Demon?
His reputation as a ruthless villain extends far beyond the Northeast Military Region!
With his Northeast Independent Battalion, he ruthlessly tormented various military regions; he truly lived up to his name as the "Demon Xiao"!
"It's alright, you're all alone, you wouldn't understand."
"I forgive you."
Li Bin gritted his teeth, but finally couldn't help but roar in a low voice, "Xiao Jinli, have some humanity!"
Chu Lulu looked at her man's childishness and the hand he was holding tightly, but she didn't pull away.
Driven by anger, Li Bin disregarded the two people behind him who were abusing their relationship and sped up.
The mountain road was full of potholes, and the jeep bumped and rattled along.
They headed straight for the project site.
"Engineer Chu, we've finally been waiting for you."
A man with graying temples, dressed in military uniform, extended his hands and shook hands with Chu Lulu.
"My surname is Jiang, the same as Jiang Laohu's."
"He is the head of this project team."
"To my shame, the equipment at the Northeast Military Region Hospital was inspected by our project team, but unfortunately, our technical skills were limited, and we couldn't fix it."
"That comrade reported that the technical problem they encountered this time was very similar to that of the medical instrument, which is why they contacted you through the military."
Chief Jiang had a gentle expression, and he had less of a fierce air about him, but more of a refined and scholarly air.
The two talked as they walked towards the project site.
Li Bin led his team to be responsible for perimeter protection.
Xiao Jinli led his team to provide close protection.
"Fire aiming?"
Chu Lulu looked at the design materials. Although it was a question, she felt it was a statement of certainty.
After reviewing the blueprints, Commander Jiang and his team looked at Chu Lulu with hopeful eyes.
They have been researching this infrared gun aiming device for two years.
The government approved a grant of one million yuan for this project.
Overcoming technical difficulties time and time again.
The current problem has been stuck for two months.
"I need to understand your design concepts and standard parameters."
Chu Lulu raised her head and looked at Chief Jiang.
As an external support staff member of the project team, she shouldn't have asked these questions, but according to their design drawings, the problem wasn't just here. Even if this was solved, there would be other problems later.
That problem would overturn all our current efforts.
Her mechanical knowledge was far ahead of its time.
She has seen at least hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of design drafts.
Her mechanical engineering courses were developed by studying these design drawings; she could spot problems with just a few glances.
Chief Jiang nodded to the project manager, "Since we invited Engineer Chu here, it means we have complete trust in Engineer Chu."
"Please explain the design concept and the parameters that need to be achieved."
"yes!"
The members of the Independent Battalion all waited outside the meeting room.
Inside the room, only Xiao Jinli stood beside Chu Lulu.
Chu Lulu's appearance at this moment was completely different from her usual gentle demeanor.
Her eyes occasionally flashed with seriousness and contemplation.
"These are the design concepts, as well as the technical issues that arose in the past."
The person in charge did not keep anything to themselves; everything they said was based on design documents.
Chu Lulu pressed her temples. "This project has a huge flaw."
"It affects the stability of the firing range."
"Here, here, here."
Her little hand pressed three spots on the design drawing. "Don't they conflict?"
"Can you feel it?"
Her voice was calm; they had come to her for help primarily to solve the problem.
She didn't consider her personal pride, nor did she consider any other factors.
China needs people who tell the truth!
Only by recognizing the problem can we avoid it next time and make progress.
"These seemingly minor, contradictory issues can affect the final parameters."
"Let's conduct an experiment."
She stood up and looked at the person in charge.
The person in charge immediately understood and led her to the studio, with a group of people following behind.
Her hands are very fast. How fast?
It's impossible to see her movements clearly, even though there are accessories in the entire studio, taking up an entire wall of shelves.
But she only glanced at it before starting to assemble it.
Without looking at the things in my hands, I assembled them while explaining to them.
"This is the first conflict."
"Look."
"Can you see the brightness? Can you see the clarity?"
"The presence of ripples is an indication of project failure."
The person in charge looked at the simple, small gun aiming mechanism, which resembled a simple model, yet encompassed the first problem point.
"This is the second problem. The problem is so obvious that if you don't want to talk, you can find it yourselves."
It's no longer something on paper, but something that actually appears before your eyes.
"This is the third point of contention."
Chu Lulu sat in the chair and pointed to three practical questions.
"The current problem is due to issues left over from before, which have caused accuracy problems."
She ate with the project team and worked overtime together day and night.
Over a period of two weeks, the first three problems were resolved one after another.
"Chu Gong, why are you studying medicine?"
"Just stay at the project site!"
Chief Jiang tentatively spoke up, expressing his envy of Chu Lulu's abilities.
Even being rejected is better than not speaking up at all.
Chu Lulu yawned; the aftereffects of staying up all night were kicking in, and she needed to get a long sleep.
"No, thank you."
"I originally intended to dedicate my heart to medicine."
"If you need any help in the future, just ask, and I'll be there whenever you need me."
She simply couldn't stand the current state of technology in China...
Technological advancement is the foundation for China's next step.
Chief Jiang was already mentally prepared, but the phrase "available whenever called upon" was an unexpected delight.
"I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the gutter. So be it."
"This is the bonus I applied for from the organization."
"It's not much, please accept it."
Chu Lulu was surprised to find that there was money involved.
"Sure thing, come to me for more jobs like this."
His money-grubbing nature is on full display.
Xiao Jinli was charmed by her adorable appearance, and his expression softened.
After spending half a month together, she did not hide her relationship with Xiao Jinli.
"When you get married, you have to invite me to this wedding banquet."
"must."
It wasn't Chu Lulu who spoke, but the shameless Xiao Jinli.
In just a few days, he has already agreed to host ten tables of meals. We don't know if he can actually notify everyone.
Li Bin had been guarding the perimeter and had received the notification long ago. When he saw the two people walking hand in hand in front, he inexplicably felt that they looked like a perfect match.
"Your marriage application has been approved."
I don't know how much I went against my conscience when I said that!
Here, take it.
"Stop showing off."
After handing Xiao Jinli's marriage application to him, Li Bin couldn't help but complain.
He's eaten more dog food in the last few days than he's ever eaten in his entire life.
Chu Lulu chuckled softly, but her eyes were full of exhaustion.
On the way back, Li Bin, as always, served as their personal driver, taking the two of them to the military region's guesthouse.
"I must go back and report."
"When you invite me to your wedding banquet, I will definitely attend as long as I am not on a mission."
The Kyoto Military District's protection team has withdrawn.
The two returned to the guesthouse, and Xiao Jinli used a clean towel to dry Lulu's hair.
Chu Lulu closed her eyes and swayed her body continuously.
Until she could no longer hold back.
Xiao Jinli touched her hair roots; they were already dry. Then he pulled the blanket over her and covered her up.
"You stay here."
"I always prepare meals that are easy to digest. If they get cold, you eat them and I'll buy new ones."
"Take this money, and I'll cover all the meal expenses."
After arranging things at the guesthouse, Xiao Jinli drove the car left behind by the Kyoto Military Region straight to the military compound.
"Hey, who's this?"
"Why are you back at my house? What a rare guest!"
The old man put down his newspaper and looked at his eldest grandson with a sarcastic expression.
Everyone praised him for raising his grandson well.
Only these veterans know his suffering and exhaustion; no one can tell him.
"I've seen the betrothal gift list."
"This passbook contains my salary and allowances."
"This savings book is the dowry that my grandmother gave me back then."
"Add them all to the betrothal gift list."
The old man had a half-smile on his face; he was another romantic!
When are you going to bring it back for us to see?
Before Xiao Jinli could even sit down, a man and a woman walked in from outside, blocking the light from shining in.
"Mom and Dad."
His dad and his mom.
Rare.
It's been two years since we last saw each other.
“Your mother is right. You can’t keep hiding her forever. You have to let the girl meet your family eventually.”
The man smiled gently, but he had the appearance of a smiling tiger.
Xiao Jinli still had his marriage application in his pocket, a document he needed to obtain a marriage certificate.
"I'll ask her what she thinks. If she agrees, she'll bring Lulu back to meet you in the next couple of days."
"She's timid, don't scare her."
“If you have any complaints about her, or if there’s anything you don’t like about getting along with her, you can tell me. I’m your son and grandson. You can take your anger out on me, not her.”
He came back early for two reasons: to check on his grandfather's health and to add to the betrothal gift list.
His wife loves money, so all his money belongs to her.
Fang Hua snorted coldly and put the water glass on the table.
"They're already protecting her like this before anything's even happened. What will she do in the future?"
"Xiao Jinli, is this how you talk to your elders?"
Xiao Jinli looked at his mother's serious expression and said, "I married her for myself, not for you."
“Ms. Fang Hua, you can hit or scold me, I will take it all.”
"If you're not satisfied with my wife, then you don't need to bring her home."
Old Xiao watched his daughter-in-law and grandson engage in a battle of wits.
You little brat!
You're still too green to fight your mother!
"Good attitude."
"I hope I can maintain this after getting married."
Fang Hua smiled, and the previous coldness dissipated.
He pushed up his glasses. This guy has a good attitude; he knows how to protect his wife. With this kind of mentality, he's a good match for marriage.
Xiao Jinli was completely confused. Wasn't he against it? Why did his attitude suddenly change?
As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion.
"Okay, I still have work to do. Let me know when you're coming back so I can make arrangements in advance."
"Me too!"
From the moment Xiao's father entered the house until he left, he only said two sentences.
A classic example of a wife leading and a husband following.
Old Xiao chuckled, saying that a house needs many people to feel lively.
"Your mom likes it!"
“You just finished calling your mom, and she called me to discuss the betrothal gifts.”
"Get lost, you're giving me a headache."
Now that things have come to this point, Xiao Jinli's lips curled up in a smile.
He is actually very happy. From childhood to adulthood, he has always made his own decisions about his path, and his parents have never interfered.
As long as he stays on the right path and doesn't go astray, his family will support him.
Back at the military guesthouse, Wang Ziqiang was guarding the door. "Sister Lu hasn't come out, and there's no sound from inside. She's probably still sleeping."
Xiao Jinli nodded, gently pushed the door open and went in. She saw a bulge in the blanket, and she covered her head with the blanket, her breathing still long and even.
I slept from daytime until midnight.
If she hadn't been so hungry, Chu Lulu would have been ready to fall into a deep sleep.
Are you hungry?
Xiao Jinli put away what he had written and pulled the blanket down so that she wouldn't have her mouth and nose blocked.
"Um."
A muffled, gruff reply.
My stomach always wakes up before my consciousness.
Xiao Jinli took out two lunch boxes from his bosom, keeping them close to his chest to keep them warm.
"Warm."
"Sit up first."
He placed the lunchbox on the table and helped Chu Lulu sit up.
The consequence of not sleeping for a long time is that you feel weak all over when you finally get some rest.
After all that commotion, Chu Lulu finally woke up and looked at the dim outside. "What time is it?"
"1:30 a.m."
"It's 1:30?"
Chu Lulu suddenly woke up; she had slept for nearly fifteen hours!
No wonder I was hungry!
"Let's eat first."
"If you're sleepy, keep sleeping."
"If you're not sleepy, let's chat."
Chu Lulu took the lunchbox, looked up at Xiao Jinli, and said, "Let's talk."
