Chapter 44 An Old Friend Visits

The completion of the mural has attracted more and more people who like to walk here.

Shi Tingyu's reputation has also spread throughout the family compound.

Now when she walks on the street, people often greet her.

Shi Tingyu was a little confused. She didn't know many of them, so she could only smile stiffly and respond.

Principal Ren was worried that the mural would be accidentally dirty, so he drew a line one meter away from the wall to prohibit people from getting too close. He

also asked students and guards to supervise and watch more.

So parents who like to stroll around the wall were given a lecture by their children.

Don't get close to the mural.

Don't throw garbage near the mural.

If you see someone getting close to the mural, help stop them.

If you delay their elementary school's selection for the most beautiful campus, then you will be the sinner of the military district.

Good guys, with such a big hat put on them, the parents can only nod and agree.

Not only the military district knew about this, but even the weapons research institute next door heard about it.

Wei Jian, a technician in the institute, heard about this one day.

He sighed and said, "It seems that Xiaoyu is doing a good job in school. I think Professor Shi and others can feel at ease in the countryside."

Professor Li next to him heard it, and just sighed and said nothing.

Wei Jian glanced at the other party and stopped talking, continuing to verify the data at hand.

Shi Tingyu was cooking with Lu Weiguo after work, and there was a knock on the door of the house.

Lu Weiguo raised his eyebrows. Who would come to visit at this time?

He opened the gate and saw a man carrying canned food and maltose.

The man was about the same age as him, a little shorter than him, but looked to be about 1.8 meters tall. He wore a pair of glasses, a shirt and trousers, and looked gentle and refined.

Seeing Lu Weiguo, he seemed to be shocked by his appearance and subconsciously took a step back.

"Who are you?" Lu Weiguo asked.

Wei Jian realized that his behavior just now was very rude. He stepped forward a little embarrassedly and said, "Excuse me, is this Shi Tingyu's home? I'm her friend. My name is Wei Jian. I just happened to have nothing to do today, so I came to see him."

Hearing Shi Tingyu's name, Lu Weiguo became alert, "Are you from the military district?"

If they were not from the military district, the other party would not be able to enter if the sentry did not verify their identity.

Wei Jian sensed Lu Weiguo's scrutiny and said frankly, "I'm a technician at the Weapons Research Institute, and I used to be in Professor Shi's group."

Lu Weiguo narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, and then let the man in.

Shi Tingyu just came out of the kitchen and saw the man following Lu Weiguo.

But she didn't recognize him for a moment.

Wei Jian spoke first.

"Xiaoyu, don't you remember me? I'm Brother Wei, the researcher in Professor Shi's group."

Shi Tingyu frowned and thought for a long time before she found such a person from the depths of her memory.

This person is indeed from her father's group. She has met him twice before, but she doesn't know why he came this time?

She smiled and said to Wei Jian, "It's Brother Wei, it's been a long time since we last met. Come in and sit down."

As she spoke, she pushed the man beside her who had been a little out of shape since she called him Brother Wei, "Weiguo, you greet the guests first, and I'll go cook some dishes. Brother Wei, please have dinner here tonight."

Wei Jian handed the things to Lu Weiguo, and then shook his head very embarrassedly, "It's nothing, I just wanted to see how you were doing and if there was anything I could help with. No need for dinner."

The other person came with a valuable gift at this time, and Shi Tingyu really couldn't just let him go like that.

"Weiguo, take Brother Wei into the house first." Shi Tingyu said, then turned to Wei Jian and said, "Brother Wei, I cook very quickly. No matter what, you have to stay for dinner today."

Finally, Wei Jian followed Lu Weiguo into the house.

The two sat in the house. Neither of them was talkative, and they chatted for a long time.

It was not until Shi Tingyu came over with the dishes that the atmosphere became lively again.

Seeing Shi Tingyu with a smile on her face, her fair skin and rosy complexion, you know that she should not have suffered much.

Wei Jian sighed, "I feel relieved to see that you are doing well. Professor Shi has always taken good care of me before. I am happy for Professor Shi to see that you are doing well."

Shi Tingyu's eyes darkened. She is living a good life now, but she doesn't know what happened to her parents.

They had just been sent down to the countryside not long ago, so it was not convenient for her to write a letter right now. She could only know some fragments of information when Lu Weiguo talked to his family on the phone.

Seeing Shi Tingyu like this, Wei Jian finally reacted, "Xiaoyu, don't think too much, you will get better slowly in the future." Shi

Tingyu sighed, and then smiled and greeted, "You must be hungry now, let's eat quickly."

Her cooking skills were as good as ever. Wei Jian was a little surprised. Was Shi Tingyu's cooking skills so good before?

He had heard Shi Qian say that his daughter could cook, but he never knew that her cooking was so delicious.

At the dinner table, Wei Jian's kind words were free of charge. What surprised Shi Tingyu was that he was not afraid of Lu Weiguo, and he admired Lu Weiguo during the conversation.

If it weren't for Lu Weiguo's naturally cold face, the two of them would probably be able to get along well after the meal.

After the meal, Wei Jian left without staying for long.

After Lu Weiguo washed the dishes, he looked at Shi Tingyu and said, "Wei Jian is very nice to you and came to see you specially." Shi

Tingyu looked up at him and said, "I didn't know he would come. We have only met a few times in total. Maybe he did it for my father's sake. After all, the two of them have worked together."

Lu Weiguo frowned, "Does he have a good relationship with his father-in-law? Better than the relationship between his father-in-law and Professor Li?"

Shi Tingyu was stunned for a moment, thought for a long time, and was a little uncertain, "Probably not... right?"

His father and Professor Li were both neighbors and colleagues. They have lived in the family compound since they returned to China, and their relationship is very good.

I guess Wei Jian’s relationship with her father isn’t that close.

Lu Weiguo said, "Does he have any intentions towards you?"

Otherwise, Professor Li, who is so close to her, didn't come to see her, but Wei Jian came. I always feel that his purpose is not simple.

Shi Tingyu hit his arm lightly and couldn't help rolling her eyes, "What nonsense are you talking about."

Lu Weiguo was amused by her rolling eyes, "Okay, I was wrong, I said it nonsense."

Shi Tingyu didn't dwell on this issue. He

is just a colleague of her father. After seeing her this time, she probably won't come again. After all, their family was sent down, and few people are willing to have a relationship with them.

Later, Wei Jian came twice more, but he left without staying for dinner, and never came again.

On this day, on the way home from work, Shi Tingyu heard many people talking about the promotion of the commander of the third battalion, Chen Qiang.

Specifically, it was heard that the commander Chen was called for a physical examination yesterday.

In the military region, physical examinations are no small matter, because a promotion requires a physical examination.

But usually this kind of news will not be known to everyone, and I don’t know how the news got out this time.

Shi Tingyu was very sure that it was not Chen Qiang and his wife.

Liu Xiaohong, as the daughter-in-law of the commander of the third battalion, usually has a good relationship with her, but she didn’t reveal a word.

There was no expression of joy on her face.

And it’s not good for such a thing to be known to everyone.

One never knows, and the promotion will be ruined.

But Shi Tingyu didn’t know that she still had things to do later.
