Lying on the chair, the warm sunlight shines on my body through the shade of the trees, just a comfortable temperature.
Li Xin put down the health tea in his hand, leaned back in his chair and took a nap.
After lunch break, the institute became busy. Li Xin slept for a while before waking up. He sat up and moved the chair under the big tree, sitting against the trunk.
Li Xin yawned idly. After the drawings were drawn, she really had nothing to do.
Du Peng didn't stay in the research institute much these two days. He ran around a lot for the new gun that Li Xin wanted to make, and only came back in the afternoon.
Before entering the institute, I saw Li Xin holding a thermos cup at the door, drinking water slowly and basking in the sun. She was sitting there with a young face, but at this moment she looked and acted like a little old lady.
In the compound, the old ladies who often bask in the sun sit straighter than Li Xin.
Du Peng couldn't help but smack his lips. Why did he feel that something was wrong with Li Xin after He Beichen left on the mission?
"Lao Du, you're back?"
Li Xin felt a shadow blocking his way. When he looked up, he found that Du Peng had returned.
"Well, you're... quite laid back, huh?"
"It's fine. Oh, by the way, a young soldier just came over with an old AKM. The barrel was softened, so I replaced it with a new one. Do I need to report it?"
She explained to Du Peng what had happened.
Although this incident was just an accident, Li Xin felt that these old guns should still be in the army.
"I was in a hurry to repair his gun just now and didn't have time to make a record. I have to make it up later." Li Xin thought about it and added.
Du Peng looked at her with a somewhat helpless expression. Li Xin had been sitting here basking in the sun, and it looked like she had been sitting there for quite a while. Now she said that she didn't have time to take notes. Didn't she feel guilty saying this?
Li Xin held his thermos cup and took another sip, not feeling weak at all.
"Are there still a lot of these old-fashioned guns in the army? I feel like these guns are on the verge of being eliminated." Li Xin continued.
"Yes, there is indeed another batch." Du Peng thought about it and nodded.
Thinking about this batch of guns that need to be eliminated, he also had a headache.
"We do have newer guns. We have some in our institute's weapons warehouse. But the soldiers are more used to using the old guns. They say they are very comfortable with them and are reluctant to change."
Speaking of this matter, Du Peng also seemed very helpless.
But these guns are also used in their normal training, and when they need to go on a mission, they will obey the arrangements.
"The troops plan to replace the old-fashioned guns once the new submachine guns arrive," said Du Peng.
Once that batch of old guns are eliminated, we will be able to save ourselves a lot of trouble, after all, problems will not occur so often.
Li Xin nodded, hugged her thermos, and felt relieved. Du Peng said that the old gun would be delivered soon, so it shouldn't be long before they could be replaced.
Du Peng looked at her leisurely appearance, and an idea came to his mind. He thought of something that he could ask Li Xin to do.
"Comrade Xiao Li, since you don't have anything to do recently, why don't you go and check those old guns tomorrow and register the test data?" Du Peng said to Li Xin.
He felt that he should find something for Li Xin to do. If she was left alone, she might start to have some weird thoughts.
"Okay." Li Xin agreed without thinking.
She stood up with the thermos cup, ready to follow Du Peng into the research institute.
After returning to the research institute, Du Peng took out the information about the batch of old guns and handed it to Li Xin.
Li Xin took the information and took a quick look. There were about a hundred old guns in this batch, so it would be quick to check them.
"Then I'll leave it to you. If you have any questions, you can go to the battalion commander, deputy battalion commander and others." Du Peng reminded.
Li Xin nodded, put the information away, and planned to look for it again tomorrow.
…
At the same time, the young soldier who had repaired his gun at the research institute at noon returned to the army happily with his gun. He felt vaguely excited when he thought of Li Xin's disassembly action when changing the barrel.
"What did you do at noon? You haven't closed your mouth since you came back. Are you in love?" The soldier next to him looked at him and asked out loud because he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Dating? There are only a few women in the army, and one of them is the wife of Deputy Regiment Commander He. Where can he date? Is he dating a man?" Another person came over and teased in a low voice.
Everyone was doing training, and no one dared to speak too loudly, so only a few people around could hear it.
"Isn't his gun broken? He should have gone to the research institute at noon, right?" The soldier next to him thought for a moment and then revealed a shocking piece of information, "Could it be that you..."
"Hey, are you crazy? No matter how beautiful Comrade Xiao Li is, she is still the wife of Deputy Regimental Commander He!" A soldier was shocked, and his joking expression suddenly became serious, and he reminded in a warning.
The young soldier repairing the gun: "..."
Why don't you change your career and become a journalist?
"It's not what you think. Deputy Colonel He's wife is just too awesome. You don't know, the way she disassembles a gun is so cool!" The young soldier explained quickly, his face full of admiration when he talked about Li Xin.
He told everyone in detail what happened in the institute at noon.
"Is this true? She is worthy of being the wife of Deputy Captain He. She is so capable. Doesn't that mean she and Deputy Captain He are a powerful team?" When the people around heard this, they couldn't help but praise her.
