Chapter 7 Another Blind Date (Part 1)
Lu Weiguo had originally prepared for the woman to be frightened and scream at any moment.
Seeing the expressions of Shi's father and mother, he thought to himself, as expected.
He did not focus his eyes on the blind date heroine, fearing that she would be scared.
But this time he did not hear her scream of fear.
Feng Wei knew the lethality of his brother's face, and did not dare to speak for a while, for fear of scaring the family.
The air was a little stagnant.
In the state-owned hotel, people who were eating also cast curious glances at them.
Some of those who were smart, seeing the postures of the two sides, made blind guesses. They
just looked at the fairy-like appearance of the woman, and then looked at the face of the man, and sighed in their hearts that it was a pity.
Shi Tingyu felt the attention from all around, she pulled her parents' hands and said, "Comrade Feng and Comrade Lu, right? These are my parents."
Her words were like a signal. Feng Wei regained his eloquence, and Lu Weiguo's tense heart relaxed a little.
For the first time, he set his sights on his blind date.
Shi Tingyu's overly beautiful face appeared in his eyes, and his narrow pupils couldn't help but shrink.
The surrounding sounds gradually faded away, and only the face with a slight sweet smile continued to glow.
Feng Wei saw that Lu Weiguo was in a daze, and quickly pulled him.
Lu Weiguo finally reacted, and with a stiff face, he greeted Shi's father and mother.
"Uncle, aunt, hello, I'm Lu Weiguo."
Faced with the hand extended by Lu Weiguo, Shi's mother did not have the courage to shake it, and in the end it was Shi's father who took all the responsibility.
Shi's mother looked at her daughter worriedly.
But she saw that her daughter was smiling, not affected by the other's appearance at all.
Feng Wei asked Shi Tingyu to sit opposite Lu Weiguo.
Lu Weiguo sat with his back straight, his hands on his knees, rubbing slightly.
His black eyes looked at the woman opposite sharply and intently.
His gaze could not be ignored by others, and Shi Tingyu felt it even stronger.
She raised her head and looked directly into Lu Weiguo's eyes.
The next moment, she actually saw that the other's eyes turned away.
If she hadn't been very sensitive to people's emotions, she really wouldn't have noticed the other person's awkwardness.
At this time, the waiter shouted that the dishes for their table were ready.
Lu Weiguo suddenly stood up and strode to the window to serve the dishes.
Looking at the dishes and chopsticks, Shi Tingyu subconsciously washed the chopsticks and bowls with water.
When Lu Weiguo came back with the dishes, he saw Shi Tingyu's actions.
Seeing that she didn't know what to do with the water in the bowl, he stretched out his long arm and said, "Give it to me."
Shi Tingyu raised her eyes and glanced at him, and actually found that this guy's ears were red.
She said "oh" and handed the bowl over.
When Lu Weiguo took the bowl, he didn't deliberately get close to her, and kept a distance of two fingers from her hand.
Shi Tingyu's eyes made a shudder at Lu Weiguo's hand and then retracted it.
His hands were big and rough, and the cob on his hands could be clearly seen at a quick glance, so you can imagine how thick it was.
There were also small wounds on his fingers.
Shi Tingyu had painted farmers' hands, workers' hands, teachers' hands, and beauties' hands, but she had never painted soldiers' hands.
Unexpectedly, the soldiers' hands were more shocking than any other hands she had ever seen.
The emotion lasted only for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, the bowl had been taken away by Lu Weiguo.
He took the bowl and turned to the door, pouring out the water for washing chopsticks in the bowl.
After returning, Lu Weiguo asked the waiter for another glass of water.
Under the waiter's angry gaze, he rinsed the bowls and chopsticks of other people at the table with water.
Feng Wei looked at Lu Weiguo's series of actions in amazement, his eyes almost fell to the ground, when did he become so attentive?
After the bowls and chopsticks were heated, everyone started to eat.
Lu Weiguo and Feng Wei ate so fast that it seemed as if they were pouring the rice directly from their mouths into their stomachs, and they finished eating in just a few minutes.
Seeing this, Shi's father and mother also put down their bowls and chopsticks. The purpose of this visit was a blind date, and whether they were full or not was secondary.
Seeing this, Shi Tingyu also put down his bowl and chopsticks.
Feng Wei and Lu Weiguo then realized that they seemed to have done something stupid.
Feng Wei coughed lightly and came out to smooth things over, "We soldiers are used to eating fast. You guys continue to eat slowly. Don't be polite."
Lu Weiguo glanced at Shi Tingyu and said, "Eat slowly."
His voice was not loud, and his vocal cords seemed to be covered with a layer of sandpaper, low and a little rough.
Seeing this, Shi Tingyu ate for a while longer.
He didn't put down his chopsticks until he was no longer hungry.
Seeing that the Shi family didn't plan to eat anymore ,
Lu Weiguo told them about his situation.
"My name is Lu Weiguo. I am the battalion commander of the first battalion in the Jinling Military Region. I am 28 years old this year. My parents are working in my hometown in Dong Province."
Shi Tingyu listened very carefully.
Feng Wei could see clearly that the other party was not shy at all, so it seemed that love at first sight did not happen.
He looked at the brother next to him again, and this guy was surprisingly proactive.
Well, more proactive than any previous blind date.
Come to think of it, Comrade Shi is so handsome, it is normal for a gay man to be proactive.
Shi Tingyu asked: "Do you have any other brothers and sisters in your family?"
"There is an older brother in the family, and the older brother is married. My little nephew is eight years old and is in the first grade."
Shi Tingyu nodded.
She could hear some information from Lu Weiguo's words.
Lu Weiguo should have a good relationship with his eldest brother's family. Otherwise, for an uncle who has been in the army for several years and has not returned home, in such an underdeveloped communication era, to know that his nephew is in the first grade shows that he cares more about his family.
Don't say that eight years old is the age to be in the first grade.
It is 1975 and compulsory education has not been implemented. Now some children go to school earlier and some later.
Lu Weiguo continued: "I am now at the battalion level, with a monthly salary of 101 yuan, and I will receive an allowance if I go on a mission."
"If we can continue to develop a deeper revolutionary friendship, you can live in the family compound with the army after marriage."
"After marriage, whether you work or stay at home, I respect your choice."
He heard some things about the Shi family.
When Feng Wei asked him to meet Shi Tingyu, he had already inquired about it.
He knew that Shi Tingyu did not go out to work, and thought that maybe she would not want to work after marriage.
As he did not know the whole story, he did not comment on this point.
Shi Tingyu's eyes lit up.
She was also worried that if she arranged the marriage in a hurry, the man would ask her to go out to work.
It's not that she can't go out to work, but it is up to her own will to work or not.
The series of conditions mentioned by Lu Weiguo made her very excited.
After marriage, she would follow the army without having to take care of her parents-in-law, and it was up to her to work or not. The salary was high, and he was honest. Most importantly, his personality did not seem as unapproachable as his face showed.
She was very satisfied with all these.
As for the face, she just liked it. She was not the kind of person who would change her aesthetic taste because of what others said. Moreover, Lu Weiguo's figure was impeccable, with broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs. If this figure was put in the future, it would definitely attract the attention of many women.
