After the fourth class in the afternoon, Xu Manman pushed her bicycle to the parking shed beside the teaching building. She was about to go to the cafeteria to pack her food, and then go back to the dormitory to eat, and then go take a shower.
He took out his key to unlock his bicycle. He had ridden less than 10 meters when he saw a military green jeep parked in front of the teaching building. Before Xu Manman could see the license plate clearly, he heard the honking of a car horn, followed by, "Manman, wait a minute."
It really was my uncle. Xu Manman stepped on the brakes, turned around and rode over.
"Uncle, why are you here today?"
"I'm going to leave in the evening after the meeting. I'll come over to see you before I leave." Xu Lei originally wanted to wait for her at her dormitory, but he was afraid of missing her, so he simply came early and waited at the teaching building.
"Ah? Leaving so early? It's less than a week yet." Xu Manman was a little reluctant.
Xu Lei took off his sunglasses, opened the car door, and got out, rubbing his niece's head. "I originally planned to return the day after tomorrow, but the military district had an emergency mission, so I had to leave early. Is this the bicycle you bought?"
"Yeah, it's second-hand, cheap, and pretty good to ride."
Xu Lei held the front of the car and shook it, squeezed the brake, and bent down to check the chain. "It's quite good. It probably hasn't been used much before. It's well maintained. It's almost 90% new."
"So I got a great deal. My cousin's bike is a 28-inch truck."
"That's also your good luck."
Two people were chatting beside the car. A military vehicle parked in front of the teaching building was quite eye-catching. However, the college students were quite restrained. No one came forward even though they were curious. However, people passing by could not help but take a few more glances.
Xu Manman, who was busy chatting with her uncle, didn't notice. Although Xu Lei was very sensitive to gazes, he had been in a superior position for a long time and was used to it.
Until, "Hey? Youngest? You haven't left yet?"
Xu Manman, who was still showing off her bicycle to her uncle, turned around and saw that it was the third and fifth brothers.
Xu Lei also looked over following the sound, and it was obvious that there were two female students, one of whom was pregnant.
Xu Manman greeted the newcomers and then turned to her uncle to explain, "They are my roommates. The one with the big belly is the third child, Wang Zhen, a local. The other one is the fifth child, Yang Yang, from Hunan Province."
Xu Lei greeted his niece's roommates gently, "Hello, I'm Xu Manman's uncle. Thank you for taking care of our Manman during this period."
Although Xu Lei tried hard to appear gentle and charitable, the aura of having been in a superior position for many years made Wang Zhen and Yang Yang feel a little restrained.
The two stepped forward to greet him, "Uncle Xu, you're welcome." "Hello, Uncle Xu."
"You guys just finished class, you haven't eaten yet, right? I'm going to take Manman out to eat, why don't we go together?"
Wang Zhen was about to refuse when Xu Lei opened the back door. "Both students, please get in the car first. Manman, please put the car back first. I'll take you back after dinner."
Now, Wang Zhen and Yang Yang had no choice but to get in the car.
When Xu Manman came back from parking and opened the passenger door, he heard Wang Zhen say, "Uncle Xu, old... Manman is amazing. He gets first place in every exam and even helps us with English."
Xu Manman seriously suspected that she was going to talk about Lao Liu just now.
"Uncle, what are you talking about?"
Seeing Xu Manman fastened her seatbelt, Xu Lei started the car. "We talked a little bit about your performance in school. I want to know more about you so that I don't have to worry about your aunt asking me questions when we get back. Should we go pick up Xiaoming now? Where is his teaching building?"
"Well...my cousin should be back to the dormitory now." Although the two of them don't stay together all day, their pace of life is consistent.
After giving his uncle directions, the car drove to the men's dormitory. Xu Lei asked for the dormitory number and went straight upstairs to call people.
After Uncle Xu closed the door and got out of the car, Xu Manman also got out of the passenger seat and came to Yang Yang's side of the back seat, opened the door and prepared to get in. My cousin wanted to come with us later, so he definitely couldn't sit with a girl.
Yang Yang moved his butt and made room for Xu Manman. Only then did the two girls seem to be unblocked.
Yang Yang whispered, "Youngest, your uncle looks so powerful." Although the man had left, he didn't dare to speak loudly.
Wang Zhen also poked her head out from the other side. "Yeah, I was just talking to your uncle and I was so nervous I didn't dare to breathe. What position does your uncle hold in the army?"
Uncle Xu had taken off his epaulettes, so it wasn't obvious from his clothes. However, Wang Zhen felt that Uncle Xu must be no ordinary person. The fourth child, Li Xiaochun's fiancé, was also an officer, and was said to be a platoon leader. He didn't give her that impression at all.
