"He was worried that you were hungry at home, so he asked me to come and pick you up to have dinner at my house." Du Peng continued and explained the reason why he came.
Du Peng was also speechless. God knows how surprised he was when He Beichen came to him and said this.
He thought that He Beichen doted on his wife too much. He couldn't go home for dinner and had to make arrangements for Li Xin first.
Not to mention Du Peng, even Li Xin was a little surprised. She never thought that He Beichen had found a place for her to have dinner.
"Is this... a bit too much trouble?" Li Xin felt a little embarrassed.
There were vegetables bought by He Beichen at home. Since He Beichen was not at home, she could ask Sanmao to cook so she wouldn't be hungry.
When going to someone else's house for dinner, Li Xin always feels that he will cause trouble to them.
Moreover, she had only met Du Peng once on the train and was not very familiar with him.
"It's not a problem. My wife cooked dinner at home, and my son loves the hustle and bustle." Du Peng waved his hand quickly. "Besides, Deputy Commander He told me to take you there for dinner and not let you go hungry. I made a promise to Deputy Commander He."
Du Peng saw that she didn't seem to want to go, and even looked a little anxious.
If it weren't for the fact that men and women shouldn't touch each other, Du Peng would have reached out and pulled her.
"Okay, wait for me." Li Xin agreed and went back to the kitchen to pick up the vegetables soaked in water.
She found another bag of fruit and took it to visit Du Peng's home.
Du Peng's house is inside the compound, in another building, not very far away.
When Li Xin followed over, Du Peng's wife Zhou Feixue was cooking in the kitchen. His son, who looked to be in elementary school, was playing in the living room. When he heard the door open, he immediately looked over.
"Dad!" Du Peng's son's eyes sparkled and he ran over immediately.
"Hello, sister." After seeing Li Xin following over, the child immediately greeted her with a smile, being very polite.
"Hello."
Li Xin responded. It was her first time visiting someone's home, and it was still a bit difficult for her, a person with social anxiety.
"This is my son Du Zhenguo, he is eight years old this year." Du Peng rubbed his son's head and introduced him to Li Xin.
In the kitchen, Zhou Feixue came out after hearing the sound. She looked at her and nodded gently. Although she didn't say much, it was obvious that she welcomed her.
"This is Deputy Colonel He's family." Du Peng introduced her.
Li Xin also nodded at her and handed her the fruit. Just as he was about to talk to her for a while, his hand was suddenly grabbed by Du Zhenguo.
"Sister, sister, come over here and play!" Du Zhenguo saw that the sister was pretty, so he excitedly pulled her and wanted to pull her into the living room.
Li Xin followed him in and saw a cabinet next to the TV and a shelf filled with models, including many gun models neatly arranged.
"Sister, look, these are what my father bought for me. This is a submachine gun, and this is a sniper rifle. They can shoot at a range of 100 meters. They are so powerful!" Du Zhenguo pulled her to look at them and excitedly introduced them to her.
Du Zhenguo is very familiar with these guns, and he would mention some professional terms from time to time. It can be seen that Du Peng must have talked to him about these things often, and he himself really likes these guns.
"You're amazing." Li Xin couldn't help but praise him, "You know so much at such a young age."
If Du Zhenguo is well trained, he can join the army or pursue a career in scientific research.
It is definitely not worse than Du Peng!
"Sister, will you play with me?" Du Zhenguo looked at her with sparkling eyes.
Just as Li Xin was about to agree, Du Peng came over and stopped Du Zhenguo from reaching for the gun.
"Go finish your homework first and then play." Du Peng said with a straight face.
Du Zhenguo: ???
Every child seems to go through this process when they are young.
Du Zhenguo pursed his lips, withdrew his hand, and quickly ran back to his room, took out his homework, and started writing in the living room.
"Sister, please help me with my homework!" Du Zhenguo held his homework and looked at Li Xin eagerly.
Although they had just met, Du Zhenguo liked Li Xin very much and had been sticking to her since he entered the door.
"This child is quite clingy." Du Peng looked at Li Xin apologetically, "and the children in the compound..."
"It's okay, I like children very much, especially obedient children like Zhenguo." Li Xin smiled and saw Du Zhenguo's
After all, with this child, she didn't feel so embarrassed anymore, and Du Zhenguo was really a well-behaved child.
"Yes, I am very obedient!" Du Zhenguo heard it and quickly said.
As if to prove himself, Du Zhenguo opened the homework and started writing. From the beginning, his attention was focused on the homework, and he was fully concentrated and not always distracted.
Zhou Feixue brought Li Xin a glass of water and went back to the kitchen to work.
Du Peng went in to help, and only Li Xin and Du Zhenguo, who was doing his homework seriously, were left in the living room.
Li Xin looked at Du Zhenguo's homework and felt that learning in this era was quite difficult, but Du Zhenguo wrote smoothly and was not stumped.
As expected of a child of a scientific researcher, his IQ is really high!
"I've finished writing. Sister, let's play with guns!" After a while, Du Zhenguo quickly finished his homework.
The main reason is that at his age, he doesn’t have much homework.
Du Zhenguo put away his homework and happily picked a sniper rifle model from the shelf.
"Sister, you pick one too!" Du Zhenguo pulled her and asked her to choose a gun as well.
"Bang!" Du Zhenguo was pulling her without paying attention and his body bumped into the shelf.
Du Zhenguo was startled and jumped away quickly, but the shelf he bumped into shook a few times, and then a pistol model placed outside fell down and hit the ground.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Li Xin was also startled and quickly supported Du Zhenguo to check.
"No." Du Zhenguo shook his head, looking at the broken gun lying on the ground, as if he was about to cry, "My dear Qiangqiang, you died so tragically..."
“…”
Li Xin followed his gaze and saw spare parts scattered all over the ground.
"It's okay, this can be repaired." Li Xin comforted him and walked forward to pick up the pistol model on the ground.
The broken pistol is not very complicated because the place where it fell is not particularly high, so it will not be difficult to repair.
These model guns are replicas of real guns in a three-to-one ratio. Although they are just models, all the parts are made, and they are not just imitations of the shell.
These models are pretty much like real guns, except they can't actually fire them.
Li Xin disassembled the broken pistol, and then skillfully reassembled the model under Du Zhenguo's eager gaze.
Du Peng heard the noise in the kitchen and walked out while wiping his hands. Before he came over, he saw Li Xin assembling a model gun there, so he didn't come over immediately.
