Chapter 128 Stop His Ridiculous Ideas
Standing at the door of the canteen, Wang Ziru was completely confused and couldn't guess why Han Dixing suddenly came to the Armed Forces Department to find them.
She looked up, and Han Dixing's thin and tall figure almost blocked the light in front of her eyes. "What can I do for you?"
Knowing that she must be full of doubts, but it doesn't matter, after all, they loved each other so much when they were young, Han Dixing raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "My second brother didn't read the foreign language books carefully at home before, and he has been thinking about it and wants to reread them when he has time."
"Ah? Your second brother..." Han Suijing?
Wang Ziru pursed her lips into a line and was just about to say, "What does your second brother's desire to study have to do with me?"
But Han Dixing seemed to come here specifically for this purpose. "I heard that Sister Ziru will go to Yun Province to join the army soon. So, I thought of a way. Why don't I ask you to take it to the army and hand it over to my second brother when you see him."
Wang Zonghao's eyelids almost jumped up. What was Han Dixing planning?
Do you still want to draw a red line for Han Suijing?
Everyone stopped eating and looked at the handsome young man standing at the door of the cafeteria.
It was Zou Bu who came to his senses first. He chuckled and said, "Han Dixing, you are probably confused. My brother and your second brother are not in the same military district."
"Oh? Sister Ziru's target is not in the same unit as my second brother's?" Han Dixing tried very naturally to cover up his ridiculous behavior.
"Of course they are not in the same unit! My brother Zhai Ximo is the deputy regiment commander of the 9th District in Chu City, which is hundreds of kilometers away from your brother in Kun City."
Han Dixing put his right hand in his trouser pocket, revealing his bony fingers, with a look of understanding on his face, "Sister Ziru's boyfriend is called Zhai Ximo? The deputy regiment commander of the 9th district under Chu City..."
"That's right! It's okay for you to bring some things to your second brother, but their two troops are too far apart, so you'd better ask someone else. I'll check the list of soldiers later and help you keep an eye out for the soldiers who are returning home from Kun District to visit their relatives." Zou Bu said readily.
"That's fine! We're all in Yun Province, and my second brother often goes to various places to inspect work, so there will definitely be a chance for us to meet..."
Han Dixing has a handsome face and a gentle smile.
Wang Zi chuckled, her voice like a stream of joy flowing, "Zou Bu is right. I, I am going to follow the army, but how could I possibly run into your brother by chance?"
"Yes, you are all in Yun Province, and I asked him, he often goes to various troops..." Han Dixing insisted on asking her for help.
Everyone stared at him in surprise and began to make some guesses.
"No, Han Dixing, you are putting your sister-in-law in a difficult position. Apart from anything else, she doesn't even know your second brother. Even if they meet, how can she pass it on?"
Han Dixing raised his palm straight up and explained with a smile: "One of my grandmother's cousins also lives in Longwang Village. When I was a child, my second brother and I often went to Longwang Village to play, so we knew each other for a long time."
"Oh..." Everyone understood.
I believed what Han Dixing said.
After all, he is a very outstanding son of the Han family. His words and deeds are very convincing, and he does not seem to have any flaws. How can people not believe him?
Only Wang Zonghao couldn't help but mutter in his heart, I don't believe you at all.
"But I'm a little sorry," Han Dixing said embarrassedly after seeing that he had passed the first level without any trouble: "I just came out of the bank, and I was in a hurry and forgot to bring my things here."
Although Wang Ziru didn't understand what the brat was up to, she was quite straightforward and said, "It's okay! Just bring it over when you are free."
Since I can't refuse, I can only be a free postman and help.
"Thank you so much, Sister Ziru. By the way, you haven't eaten yet, right? I'm sorry to have delayed your lunch..."
Zou Bu then remembered to ask, "Did you come here after lunch?"
"Not yet, I just came here in a hurry, so..." Without waiting for Han Dixing to finish his words, Zou Bu hurriedly invited Han Dixing to sit down and have dinner together.
Just when the dishes were coming out of the pot at noon, Wang Zonghao specially left some extra dishes.
Seeing that most of the dishes on the table had been picked up, Wang Ziru told her brother to bring out all the warm dishes in the pot.
A few men ate quickly and had finished their meal while everyone was talking.
He quickly stood up and let the Wang siblings sit down.
Han Dixing seemed to have been planning to eat at the Armed Forces Department. He sat down to eat naturally and said with a smile, "The food in your unit is really good, and the dishes are delicious."
"Are you jealous of us? Tsk, go back and tell your leaders about it. The bank doesn't lack the employees' food expenses." Zou Bu laughed heartily.
After lunch.
Zou Bu was called back to the office.
Han Dixing stood at the door of the canteen and looked up at the blue sky. It was a sunny and windy day, perfect for an afternoon walk.
He turned around and looked at the pretty figure who was helping to clear the table, "Sister Ziru, why don't you come with me to the bank?"
"I'm afraid that I'll be too busy with my work at the bank to come here and see you."
Wang Ziru raised her head and looked at the thin figure standing at the door with a gentle gaze. She nodded slightly, cleaned the table, washed her hands, and followed Han Dixing out of the courtyard of the Armed Forces Department.
"It's still early, let's go over there." Han Dixing raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch. "It's still a little early for work in the afternoon."
Wang Ziru nodded. The county town was not that big. She could walk to the most prosperous area in the core of the county town and just treat it as a stroll after dinner.
The two walked side by side on the way to the bank.
Coincidentally, this scene was seen by Zou Bu.
Zou Bu was standing by the window of his small second-floor office when he inadvertently saw two figures. Han Dixing, who was wearing a stylish suit, was talking and laughing with Wang Ziru. It seemed that they were going to the bank.
Although Wang Ziru was a young country wife, she was dressed simply on this day, a red cotton jacket with small flowers and a pair of navy blue coarse cloth trousers. When the two of them walked together like this, it didn't make people feel that one was the son of the most prestigious family in the county and the other was just a young country wife.
"It seems like Han Dixing has ulterior motives."
Captain Tang also reported to his office on the recent visits and investigations into relatives.
He walked over, glanced out the window, and said with a smile: "Zou Bu, are you too narrow-minded? Han Dixing just asked an acquaintance to help bring some things to his brother so that his brother can meet his old friends in his hometown. You obviously have the wrong idea."
"Am I overthinking it? No, look at how familiar they are with each other. If you don't know, you would think they are dating." Zou Bu pointed at the two figures, one tall and one short, walking farther and farther away outside the window, his brows furrowed.
Captain Tang smiled and said, "My sister-in-law is not such a superficial woman! Let's not ruin her reputation."
Zou Bu was so angry that he raised his fist and hit Captain Tang.
Although it might be a bit rude to give it to him directly, it seems that what he thought was indeed dirty if they had known each other since childhood.
The closer they got to the core area of the county town, the more shops Wang Ziru could feel. People were coming and going, buying vegetables, buying things, and there were always people passing by them.
Han Dixing mentioned his brother Han Suijing while walking and chatting.
"My second brother is too dull. He has lived to a ripe old age but still doesn't know how to be considerate. Sister Ziru hates him."
"How could that be? By the way, why hasn't your brother come home to visit for so many years?" Wang Ziru asked.
She acted very naturally and didn't mention the awkwardness of her ex-fiancé at all.
Anyway, that was the original body's doing and has nothing to do with her.
"He was in the army back then. During the war, my parents thought he would be less busy in the past two years. But you know, he was in charge of border defense and was a cadre. How could he be away?"
"Is he an officer now? He is quite ambitious."
When the two of them were finally about to reach the bank, they passed by the largest supply and marketing cooperative in the county, with several private shops next to it.
There were a lot of people buying things outside the store. It seemed that the supply and marketing cooperative had new goods that day, or was having a discount.
When I passed the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, I heard a young woman coming out of it, smiling and saying to the sister next to her, "We are so lucky! The supply and marketing cooperative finally bought a batch of leather shoes suitable for children. It just so happens that the weather will get hot in a while, and it is the perfect time to wear small leather shoes."
"Yeah! I just don't have enough tickets, so I can only buy one pair for our eldest and second child..."
Wang Ziru slowed down her pace when she heard that the supply and marketing cooperative had bought a batch of small leather shoes for children.
Thinking that they will be joining the army soon, and that Baoer will be sent to kindergarten, since he will be going to school, he certainly can't always wear cloth shoes.
By then, the little one should also be given leather shoes, right?
Han Dixing noticed that the little woman next to him seemed to want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy shoes for her child.
He turned his head and smiled warmly, "Sister Ziru, turn left at the crossroads ahead and you will reach our bank. Please wait here for a moment. I walk fast and will deliver the things in a moment."
"Oh, that's fine too."
I watched Han Dixing's thin figure hurried towards the intersection, and soon he crossed the road and went to the bank.
Wang Ziru hurried into the supply and marketing cooperative and saw that the glass counter was surrounded by many mothers who had heard the news and came to buy small leather shoes for their children.
The three sales clerks were very busy, introducing a batch of new goods that the supply and marketing cooperative had brought in to the mothers, namely small leather shoes in three colors: black, brown, and green.
Wang Ziru couldn't squeeze in, so she could only stand on tiptoe and glance at the few small leather shoes on the counter that were being snatched away by people.
"Lady, could you please hand me a pair of shoes and let me have a look?" Wang Ziru gently pulled the woman standing in front of her.
The woman, who had a short hairstyle that reached her chin, turned around and glanced at her. She glanced disdainfully at the flowered cotton jacket and two long braids that Wang Ziru was wearing, and realized that she was a young wife who had come to the city from the countryside.
Their temperament is completely different from those mothers who wear tweed coats, watches and leather shoes.
The woman curled her lips in disdain and said arrogantly, "Girl, do you think you can afford these little leather shoes?"
"No," Wang Ziru was amused by the other party's arrogant tone and laughed, "Sister, don't worry about whether I can afford it or not. I just want to take a look at the new leather shoes that the supply and marketing cooperative has brought in. I don't have to buy them after seeing them."
"If you're not going to buy anything, why are you making such a fuss? This is not the place for you, go back to your village and buy some rubber shoes." The woman said with a condescending look on her face.
When Wang Ziru heard what the woman said, she didn't want to argue with her, so she asked immediately: "Who said that the things in the supply and marketing cooperative can only be sold to people in your county? I haven't decided whether to buy it or not. Sister, do you look down on us country people?"
"So what?!" The woman looked impatient and waved her hand in disdain, "Go away."
Wang Ziru was about to pull the woman away from the counter when a slender, white hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Looking back, it was Han Dixing.
