Chapter 169 Fiancée
Su Mianzhi and the others relaxed slightly after hearing Huo Zhenhua's explanation.
It's disheartening to see how things have changed.
That girl not only didn't repay the kindness, but actually repaid kindness with enmity; she deserves to die!
Grandma said worriedly, "You two always have your ups and downs together, you should cherish each other even more in the future!"
Then, she thought of the green pendant in Su Meng's hand, her heart trembled, and she quickly lowered her relaxed eyelids to cover up her inner unease and panic.
She was coerced when she was young because of the yellow beads in her hand.
She only found peace after she was left penniless and abandoned on an unknown desert island.
Hopefully, no one knows that Su Meng has a green bead.
This incident is likely aimed at Huo Zhenhua.
She lifted her eyelids, her cloudy eyes quickly scanning Huo Zhenhua.
This young man is handsome and resolute, tall and strong, with a cool yet masculine temperament. He's the kind of man a girl can remember for a lifetime after just one glance.
It's hard to guarantee that no other girls won't be vying for him.
"Zhenhua, didn't you submit your marriage application? When are you going to invite your parents over so our families can discuss the wedding arrangements?"
Now that he has submitted the marriage application, the wedding arrangements should be put on the table.
Grandma valued his character and the kindness of his family, and was happy to facilitate their marriage.
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhenhua's eyes lit up. He pulled back his long legs, which had nowhere to rest because the long wooden bench was too short, sat up straight, and solemnly said, "Grandma, I'll call back right away."
Tianyou should be out of school by now, so I'll bring him back with me.
Hearing this, Grandma smiled and walked towards the kitchen, "Okay! Let's come back and eat together."
Su Mianzhi stroked the savings book in his pocket and murmured, "I wonder when Xiaomeng will be back so we can discuss the dowry."
Huo Zhenhua walked to the courtyard gate, heard his words, and immediately turned around with a smile, "Uncle, there's no need to go to so much trouble."
I applied for a family compound, and the logistics department provides all the furniture and supplies.
I'll handle the rest as I see fit.
He glanced at the Su family's new courtyard, which was still under construction, and thought to himself that they were donating money, building houses, and had such a large family to support.
I suppose Xie Mian has almost used up all the allowances he's accumulated over the years.
From now on, his and Su Meng's life together will only involve expenses for the two of them, and his savings will be just enough.
He excitedly walked through the military district gate, said hello, and was about to leave when he was stopped by the sentry.
"Commander Huo, this is something Comrade Su sent. Please sign for it."
Only then did Huo Zhenhua remember the "snake" he had saved, and the things he had brought were still at the guard post.
He took the bag of clothes and gestured for them to put down the rice, flour, and cooking oil. "I was just helping out; I don't deserve those things. I don't want them!"
The sentry looked troubled, carrying several small bags. "But these are all for you. You don't want them, are you going to throw them away?"
Huo Zhenhua said in a serious tone, "Then send it to the logistics department and let them handle it."
Regardless of whether the person has ill intentions, he cannot accept things from others.
The women not far away had already noticed Huo Zhenhua.
"Commander Huo, are you complaining that it's too little, or that the girl didn't give it to you in person? You can't let her down."
"That's right! Look how sincerely they treat you. Otherwise, why would they iron your clothes so neatly?"
If you ask me, you should stop hiding it.
We all know that he came from your hometown to stay with your fiancée.
"The girl is so beautiful and generous; she'd be a great match."
Huo Zhenhua: "...Sisters-in-law, don't talk nonsense. I don't have a fiancée in my hometown. Only Su Meng from the research institute is my fiancée."
He didn't want Su Meng to be hurt by rumors again, so he defended her righteously.
"I will marry no one but Su Meng in this lifetime! I hope you ladies will be kind in your words."
With a cold expression, he finished speaking, word by word, then immediately took his coat out of the bag, threw the bag down, and left.
For a moment, he didn't even want the coat anymore.
But under the watchful eyes of everyone, he dared not throw away his coat.
I don't want to be labeled as having capitalist practices.
Back in his dorm, the first thing he did was to put the brand-new jacket at the very bottom of his wardrobe.
On the other hand, Su Meng took over the task of improving the aircraft's fuel consumption.
She accepted the two large boxes of books and materials from her colleague, and helplessly chuckled while rubbing her forehead.
If she didn't have a space where the speed was ten times that of the outside world, it would have been an insurmountable problem for her to finish reading those two large boxes of books and materials.
She studied mechanical engineering, that's for sure.
But when it comes to airplanes, you have to learn about all the parts and components of an airplane all over again.
This is a completely new field.
Su Meng didn't know why Old Qi would let her study this direction; she thought she would follow them to learn about nuclear submarines.
However, since we're already here, we might as well make the best of it.
There are many researchers here, most of whom seem to have come from other fields of study, or whose majors are related to their research topics.
Only a few key figures, such as Master Qi, were truly proficient in this art.
On the third day, Su Meng walked around the plane with books and materials in her hands.
She already had a general idea of the root cause of the fuel consumption problem.
Just as she was about to get started, she was startled by a stern voice.
"Which group are you in? This is a fighter jet; it's not something you can just dismantle."
The sound was like the cold wind of Siberia, penetrating to the bone.
Su Meng turned around in surprise and met a man with white hair but few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
This person looks familiar.
Her cold expression softened slightly. "I am Su Meng. Old Qi instructed me to research the fuel consumption problem. May I ask your name, comrade?"
The man froze, staring intently at Su Meng, and suddenly spoke up: "Comrade Su, it seems we've met before."
Have you ever been to Luocun Port outside Guangzhou?
Su Meng nodded.
She not only intercepted part of Zhong Cuilin and Shen Wuyang's family property at Luocun Port, but also obtained two large ships full of supplies.
What a bountiful harvest!
It remains a vivid memory.
"Oh my! It really is you. Comrade Su, I am Zhao Shuqiang, the professor of mathematics at Peking University, whom you rescued from the small Japanese ship."
He walked forward with a joyful expression, his back slightly bent, and extended his hands toward Su Meng, smiling humbly.
Upon hearing this, long-dormant memories resurfaced.
She looked at Zhao Shuqiang's gray hair with a puzzled expression. "Professor Zhao, how come your hair turned white overnight?"
Zhao Shuqiang froze, awkwardly touching his buzz cut, and forced a smile. "I... I was just responding to the national call to go to the countryside for reform, wasn't I?"
Because Old Qi needed me here, I was able to return from the countryside to a suitable position and contribute my talents.
Su Meng understood.
Because of that kidnapping incident, he was misunderstood as wanting to go abroad, which ultimately led to his home being searched and him being sent to a lower-level position.
Because his talent was recognized by Qi Lao's team, he is now redeeming himself through meritorious service.
Upon hearing this, Su Meng sighed.
"Being kidnapped wasn't your intention... Oh well! Professor Zhao, could you take a look and see if this is a good idea? Give me some advice?"
Seeing someone approaching, she immediately started a conversation.
In the two days since they came in, everyone in the courtyard has been walking with a brisk pace, or engrossed in their own research, even while eating or going to the toilet, they are always engrossed in their books.
Apart from a few people wandering around in the yard.
They don't look like researchers, so why are they allowed to walk around here so freely?
Hearing them talking together, he immediately came over... to supervise.
