Chief Lu is... Lu Ting, who has a distinguished military record, has been single for many years, but suddenly got married?
A research institute sounds like a very sacred place.
But the essence of Chinese people is gossip.
There are quite a few young assistants who often gossip during their free time.
Yan Huaili sometimes found it amusing and would eavesdrop.
Lu Ting's various deeds were what he overheard while eavesdropping.
Yan Huaili glanced at Su Miaoyan beside him subconsciously, and awkwardly shook his leg. Oh dear, so does that mean Lu Ting's whirlwind marriage partner is Xiao Su?
Oh my god, this is so embarrassing.
Yan Huaili touched his bald head and coughed twice, "Um, Xiao Su..."
"Pfft—"
He was speaking when a very faint laugh came from across the room. Yan Huaili looked up and stared at Lin Fengxue and Li Changfeng, who were struggling to suppress their laughter.
Lin Fengxue and Li Changfeng, two old men over fifty, blinked twice, immediately changed their expressions, and pretended not to know anything as they looked up at the ceiling.
Yan Huaili's face turned green with anger. He crossed his arms. What are these two laughing at? Is it that funny?
It was just a misunderstanding...
None of them spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly seemed to freeze.
Su Miaoyan couldn't stand it any longer and asked, "Professor Yan, are you Dr. Xu's uncle?"
Yan Huaili was a rigid, talkative, workaholic old man. He clicked his tongue at Xu Wenshu in a good-natured tone and said in a deep voice, "Well, Xiao Su, today's matter is completely a misunderstanding. I'm usually busy with experiments and didn't know about you and Chief Lu. I'm sorry."
Su Miaoyan waved her hand, "It's nothing, I didn't take it to heart."
Yan Huaili breathed a sigh of relief, his large hand still stroking his bald head, as if trying to start a conversation, "Little Su, when I entered your yard, why didn't Chief Lu come back for dinner?"
Su Miaoyan replied, "He's still on a mission and hasn't come back yet."
Yan Huaili suddenly realized.
At this moment, Xu Wenshu said with a smile, "Uncle, Comrade Su is a military dependent, so naturally he lives in the family compound. You, who have been staying at the research institute all year round, have you forgotten that Comrade Su took you into the family compound?"
Yan Huaili frowned slightly, resting his elbow on his chin, as if trying hard to recall.
"Hey, now that you mention it, it's true. I had completely forgotten that Xiao Su took me into the family compound."
Xu Wenshu smiled and said, "Uncle, you're just too engrossed in your work. You should go out more often in the future!"
"Um!"
This time, Yan Huaili didn't object and nodded emphatically in agreement.
Having overheard their conversation, Su Miaoyan was now completely certain that the person Yan Huaili introduced her to was Dr. Xu!
Moreover, this introduction isn't just any ordinary introduction; it's...
A smile touched Su Miaoyan's eyes, while her thoughts drifted away.
Time flies, Lu Ting has been gone for a long time.
I don't know when he will be able to come back.
She sighed inwardly, and suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she looked at Xu Wenshu sitting opposite her.
Since we're already here, let's make sure this trip isn't a waste.
...
On the other side.
It is a small town that is relatively close to the Xinjiang Military Region.
After submitting their report to their superiors, Lu Ting, Dai Yong'an, and Ji Hongwen took the borrowed money and receipts and headed towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
Dai Yong'an patted Lu Ting on the shoulder and looked around, "Hey Lu, do you really think they sell 'three turns and one sound' here?"
He scratched his head. "Why do I feel like it's not here?"
Lu Ting said in a deep voice, "Let's take a look first."
He looked up at the towering Lamakan Mountains not far away. Summer was approaching, temperatures were rising, and the glaciers were gradually melting. At this time, a little clear snow water slowly flowed into the dried-up riverbed.
These waterways converge to form rivers, which eventually flow into the Taka River.
Where there is water, there is life; and once there is life and water, agriculture and the economy can be developed.
Looking at the rows of grapevines not far away, Lu Ting felt that the economy here might be even more prosperous than that of the military region.
He followed the street and found the local supply and marketing cooperative.
The buildings here are quite different from those in the military area; many courtyards are covered with green leaves and grapevines.
Moreover, it exudes a strong Western Region flavor.
On the street, people dressed in distinctive costumes come and go, some singing popular folk songs.
Dai Yong'an and Ji Hongwen were visiting this small town for the first time and were very curious about everything around them.
"Wow, this place feels completely different from our military region."
Ji Hongwen, unusually, chimed in, "Yes, it really is different."
Perhaps because the three women were dressed differently from the locals, everyone was looking at them with curiosity.
Knowing that time was of the essence and he couldn't linger there, Lu Ting quickly entered the supply and marketing cooperative.
The boss of the supply and marketing cooperative was still dozing off when he heard the noise and suddenly looked up.
Speaking in fluent Xinjiang dialect, "Kaimuni?!"
Lu Ting, Ji Hongwen, and Dai Yong'an were all dumbfounded. What... what did this mean?!
The boss received no response, rubbed his eyes, and after seeing the military uniforms on the three men, spoke in accented Mandarin.
Hello, who are you looking for?
Lu Ting said in a deep voice, "Hello, I'm not here to see anyone."
The boss frowned. "So what are you here for?"
Lu Ting asked, "Excuse me, do you sell 'three turns and one sound' here?"
What is "three turns and one sound"?
The boss looked bewildered, so Lu Ting added, "It's a bicycle, a watch, a sewing machine, and a radio."
The shopkeeper suddenly realized and stood up from his seat. "I do have some, but you need a ticket to buy them, and they're not cheap. Do you want them?"
Lu Ting nodded, "Yes."
"Okay, then come with me."
The boss lifted the curtain, gesturing for the group to follow.
The three exchanged a glance and followed.
"You must be from out of town. Nobody here buys these kinds of things." The shopkeeper said, taking out his keys and opening the door. "Come and take a look. They're in here."
Lu Ting hurried over to take a look and saw that the room was filled with a neat set of three watches and one radio!
His eyes lit up as he leaned closer to examine the sewing machine, radio, and watch, which looked quite beautiful. The bicycle next to it had the fashionable letters "YONGJIU" engraved on the back.
Dai Yong'an also thought these items were beautiful. "Brother Lu, what do you think?"
Lu Ting didn't speak, but the look in his eyes conveyed his meaning.
The shop owner was an honest man and told him the price directly. Lu Ting thought about the market price in Chengdu and felt it was about right, so he handed over the ticket and the large sum of money.
