Xia Li didn't have as much emotional analysis as Li Xiuli, so he answered quite calmly.
"He mentioned it, but I refused."
When they heard the first half of the sentence, the two elders looked shocked and their eyes instantly lit up.
After hearing the second half of the sentence, the fire in their hearts immediately went out.
Right, this is the girl in their family who doesn't know how to be charming.
Xia Jianguo sighed and turned to look at his daughter, the expression on his face was quite indescribable.
“I think Xiao Lu is very good, he is capable and has a strong sense of responsibility.
When you are so old, it is time to find a partner and get married. "
Even if what happened later did not happen to the Zhao family, the Zhao family is still glorious, and Zhao Haining is still an outstanding young man in the army. He does not think that Zhao Haining can compare with Lu Dingyuan.
If there had been a young and promising young man like Lu Dingyuan in the army compound, he would have felt that such a young talent could be worthy of his daughter.
But if he was asked to mention it to his parents, given the temperament of their daughter, he really didn't have the nerve to mention it to them.
But now their daughter refuses as soon as she says no, without giving the other party a chance at all.
Xia Li was selectively blind and completely ignored the melancholy expression on his old father's face.
He said confidently: "I want to learn from my dad and devote all my time to building the country with resources."
Xia Jianguo:......
My hands feel so itchy that I really want to hit my daughter.
Isn't this really ironic?
Xia Li took the basket from Li Xiuli's hand and walked directly to the kitchen.
"There's no need to return the things. He lives in a single dormitory and can't open fire. He can't return it if it's returned.
I will turn it into money and return it to him.
The meat is good, fat and lean, just right for braised pork~"
The couple watched Xia Li walk into the kitchen and looked at each other.
Li Xiuli immediately smiled with an unknown meaning.
Xia Jianguo avoided his wife's eyes and decisively turned his head away.
The prodigal daughter made him lose a bet.
Because of his daughter's straightforward temper, when she received something in the past, she didn't care what it was or whether it could be used, she just returned it. When did she ever put herself in other people's shoes?
Xia Li originally wanted to go find Lu Dingyuan in the afternoon, but learned that the other party had a meeting and found no one, so he had to give up.
In the next few days, they went to the field for training in four platoons, and they didn't have time to find Lu Dingyuan.
Until this morning.
Inside the men's single dormitory.
Lu Dingyuan sat at his desk, observing repeatedly in his hands, carefully looking at the improved Xia Li tank made from bullet casings.
He repeatedly groped the tank with his hands, and any scratches he made would be carefully polished away with sandpaper.
Until it was confirmed that there were no flaws at all, Lu Dingyuan finally showed a smile after staying up for several nights.
After washing up, Lu Dingyuan carried out the "knowledge" he learned from MOOC.
After repeatedly confirming in front of the mirror that there were no flaws in his clothing, he took the tank out and went out.
Xia Li had a day off today and it was not working time for him. In the morning, Xia Li asked Zhao Qiang to inform him to meet him. He would definitely meet someone today.
As soon as he walked near the grove, he saw Xia Li, who was gallant and striding over.
Lu Dingyuan had a sullen face, hid the finished small tank behind his back, and walked over quickly.
"morning."
Xia Li nodded slightly, glanced at his tightened belt without trace, and quickly looked away, the expression on his face remained unchanged from the beginning to the end.
"morning."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Li handed Lu Dingyuan the money and tickets in his hand before Lu Dingyuan, who had just grown a mouth, could do anything.
He said in a tone that could not be refused: "This is what you have sent me these past few days. If you convert it into money and tickets, don't give it to me again in the future."
That day she wanted to return the money ticket, but Lu Dingyuan was in a meeting.
After that, the people from their communications company were taken out for training. They even slept in tents that had been set up and had no time to come back.
When she came back, she realized that food had been delivered to her home for several days.
Except for the pork belly that she gave as a gift on the day she was home, the other days she gave her were his parents and Xia Dabao's favorite food.
When she got home, her parents praised Lu Dingyuan so much that even the eldest nephew rarely said a good word for him: This person is careful.
Xia Li felt that if things continued like this, there might be a fire in her backyard.
Lu Dingyuan was in a good mood when he came out. He even wanted to give out the gift that he had stayed up late for a week to make.
But he didn't expect that when Xia Li came up, he returned his things and wanted to end the relationship with him.
The hand holding the small tank behind him tightened slightly, and suddenly he felt a little unable to send it away.
It is impossible to say that the mood is not complicated, but as Mu Kejin said, he did all those things himself before, how can he not bear the consequences now?
Lu Dingyuan didn't refuse, and the expression on his face didn't even change. He looked very businesslike.
"I accepted the money and tickets, but for the next period of time, I will still deliver food to your home every day.
Now that the news about the tank has just been announced, all the outside attention is focused on the South Island. Some forces have already turned into a mess inside even before they see the tank. It is too dangerous for you and your family to go out. "
Seeing that Xia Li wanted to refuse, he added another sentence.
"I'll have someone buy it back, so your family doesn't have to leave the military area. You can tell me or the person who sent you what you want to eat."
Xia Li:......
The reason why she and Lu Dingyuan couldn't be completely separated was because there were not only personal matters between them, but also business matters.
What should I do if I can refuse official matters for private matters?
If the other party used the safety of their home as an excuse, she really wouldn't dare let her parents go shopping.
Since she just asked her subordinates to buy it for her instead of Lu Dingyuan buying it for her personally, she naturally didn't want to do the trouble herself.
"Okay, then I'll leave first."
Xia Li glanced at Lu Dingyuan's pinched but very straight waist without trace, then turned around and left without any trouble.
Xia Li felt that his little moves were perfect, but how sharp was Lu Dingyuan?
After Xia Li left, Lu Dingyuan looked at Xia Li's retreating back, raised his hand to touch his belt, and slightly curled his lips.
Although the things were not given away, at least the tactics were effective, and it was a small step forward, wasn't it?
Lu Dingyuan worked all morning, and when it was time to get off work, he went directly to the nearby meat store.
He stood in front of the meat stall and said to the butcher who had become increasingly familiar with him in the past two days: "Comrade, two pounds of ribs, two pig's trotters, plus these offal."
When the boss saw this young man in military uniform coming to buy groceries again, he immediately became happy.
"The ribs need to be leaner, so chop them into small pieces?"
