Lin Hui laughed. "We're just looking out for each other. You're so polite!"

After the dumplings were served, Yuzhu called out to Xiao Chen, "Comrade Chen, wait a moment!"

When I got home, I took out a three-layer insulated rice bowl and said, "This is for you."

Unexpectedly, he had it too. "Thank you, sister-in-law!" Xiao Chen drove the car to the side, sat in the car and started eating.

This is delicious served warm.

I saved money on lunch.

When I opened it, I found that two of the three layers were full of dumplings, and one layer was filled with dumpling soup.

No matter how big your appetite is, there is enough food.

No, I can’t finish it in one meal. I have to save some for dinner.

When Comrade Chen returned the thermos bucket in the evening, Lu Yuzhu gave him 10 golden fried dumplings with some vinegar sprayed on them.

This is fragrant and juicy!

Teacher Lin Hui's family also sent 20 fried dumplings.

Teacher Lin immediately decided not to go to the cafeteria for dinner.

Just cook a pot of porridge, she has already learned how to cook porridge.

Zhou Jianguo had just eaten dumplings at noon. When he saw the porridge and fried dumplings in front of him in the evening, he felt that none of the military families in the compound could compare to his beloved wife.

Not only does he cook delicious food, he can also perm women's hair. Even his superior, Captain Liu, praises Comrade Xiao Lu for his ability.

Just go to town once and you can earn 10 yuan.

This was a high income at the time.

Jianguo always said with a smile that the perming equipment was very expensive!

The people in the compound are fixed, only people from the town come in an endless stream.

Word of mouth spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and the business is booming!

There aren't many barbershops in the town, and most of them are barbers passed down from generation to generation.

Some people have new ideas and bought a curling iron, but the price they paid was high and they always included rent and other things in the price.

So Yuzhu's business is very good.

These people always come into the school to bother Teacher Lin Hui. Fearing that it would affect her teaching, Lu Yuzhu decided to go to the side of the school playground every Monday, Wednesday and Friday to wait for business.

This way, people who don’t know each other and don’t have any acquaintances to introduce them can also come and perm their hair.

I am usually busy in the yard, perming my hair and doing farm work.

No matter how busy you are, you can enter the space on rainy days.

Life is fulfilling.

That day, Lu Yuzhu was helping someone perm their hair in the compound again.

Xu Guihua was busy running around. "Haha! This isn't that difficult, sister. You're busy all day long, it must be exhausting. Just watch me and tell me if I don't do it right."

Lu Yuzhu, who had just tied her apron, immediately went back to the house to fetch water.

Zhang Aixiang, the wife of Deputy Battalion Commander Heng, was a little dissatisfied. "Sister Jiang, can you please not give me a lion hair curl? I won't agree."

Xu Guihua, "I've been helping you for a long time, don't worry, I'll definitely give you a beautiful full perm, just like mine!"

The other military wives who came with us burst into laughter. "Our sister Zhou just learned a skill, and before she even earned enough money, you stole it away from her."

"Tomorrow you buy a set of perming tools, and then we can have a showdown in the backyard to see who makes the most money."

Xu Guihua looked at Yuzhu and quickly explained, "I won't steal your business, I'm just helping her so she can have more rest.

Besides, the cost is too high. If I dare to use Lao Jiang's allowance to invest, he will definitely confiscate my power as the head of the family."

In fact, she was just flattering herself when she said this, because Captain Jiang's allowance was not all given to her.

At worst, I can give her the monthly living expenses, and Captain Jiang can save the rest for himself.

Otherwise, some of the family wealth would have been shouted out by her loud speaker.

Lu Yuzhu stood by and watched, giving her guidance from time to time.

You collect the money yourself, and you have to do a good job of perming people's hair.

After all the curlers were tied, Lu Yuzhu half-jokingly said in front of everyone.

"Sister Jiang, you have already mastered your skills. Tomorrow I will take you to the store to buy some hairdressing supplies, and you can start hairdressing in the courtyard."

The others immediately fell silent, secretly sighing that this young wife was too naive and her business had been taken away by someone else.

Xu Guihua was a little at a loss, and the smile on her face was uglier than crying.

"Big sister, our three families are close to each other. Now you and Teacher Lin both have careers, but I don't."

Lu Yuzhu was very calm, "You will have it soon. As long as you take over the business of the compound, I will go to the town to do business!"

Zhang Aixiang patted Yuzhu's shoulder and said, "Comrade Xiao Lu is a righteous man and is open and honest. We are willing to make friends with you."

Xu Guihua said anxiously, "That's not the case, big sister, listen to me, I really don't want to steal your business, I just want to help you, can't I do some odd jobs?"

Although a little surprised, Lu Yuzhu agreed without hesitation.

"Okay! I'll call you if I need anything from now on. No matter how much, as long as there's work, I'll pay you 5 cents a day."

She originally wanted to say one dollar a day, but that didn't fit the market.

Zhang Aixiang, "If there's work every day, wouldn't that make me close to Teacher Lin Hui's salary?"

Others were also upset, "If we had known earlier, we would have been willing to do it too."

Xu Guihua immediately burst into laughter and said, "I said it first. I said it first. Big sister, let's not change our minds. As long as there is work to do, I will do anything you ask me to do."

After saying that, she quickly helped Yuzhu to pack her things. Although she was whining, she had wanted to tell her elder sister for a long time, but she was not good at speaking.

Unexpectedly, the girl not only didn't care, but also offered a good salary.

From that day on, the perming of hair in the compound was done by Xu Guihua, and Yuzhu would also help at home.

One day, when Teacher Lin was leaving school, he saw Lu Yuzhu pushing a brand new Phoenix bicycle and was filled with envy.

"Comrade Xiao Lu, where did you get this bicycle?"

Lu Yuzhu, "Just bought it!"

"how much is this?"

"190 yuan!"

Lin Hui was surprised and said, "Oh, you've been fooled. Why is it so expensive? 160 yuan plus an industrial voucher is enough."

She had wanted to buy it for a long time, but her husband, Captain Liu, always told her that this capitalist lady should be low-key and simple.

Lu Yuzhu, "I have industrial coupons, which I left at home. My father gave me 600 yuan as a dowry, and I always carry it with me.

It just so happened that someone who came to get their hair permed said they had a brand new bicycle at home that they couldn’t bear to ride, and their family was short of money, so I bought it.”

Lin Hui felt a pang of pain. "Why do you believe what others say? This is too expensive. You gave them a perm today for nothing."

I heard that you gave the business in the compound to Captain Jiang's wife. It's not easy for you to earn money outside, so don't spend it recklessly."

Oh, after buying this bicycle, I don’t know how long it will take me to get back my investment.

Lu Yuzhu didn't take it seriously, "It's okay, I also need a means of transportation. When I have a bicycle in the future, I won't have to borrow your car anymore.

You guys came out early in the morning, and there was no hairdressing business at that time. It’s not good for a woman like me to wander around the town all the time.”

Then she patted the bicycle and said, "Xiao Rou, get on, I'll take you for a ride."

Xiaorou had been watching eagerly for a long time and quickly stepped forward.

Lu Yuzhu grabbed him and put him on the big bar in front, and the two of them walked around the elementary school.

Xiaorou lay on the handlebars of the bicycle, staring ahead with excitement.

Comrade Xiao Chen's jeep happened to arrive. He was surprised to see the Phoenix bicycle hanging on it and immediately hung it on the back of the car.

When they heard that Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou’s wife had bought a bicycle, the military wives all came over to look at her with envy.

Xu Guihua's forehead was full of black lines.

He is truly an ancestor who spends money recklessly!

We secretly learned the skills, but we were reluctant to invest the money to reopen the business.

She spent nearly 200 yuan in one go!

I work under Comrade Lao Jiang, and I earn less than 200 yuan a year even though I work very hard.

Facing everyone's curious gazes, Lu Yuzhu accepted it calmly, knowing that she would have to use this bicycle sooner or later.

These were the wedding supplies prepared by Xie Changlin. He put them into the space because he was so angry as a punishment.

In this age of material scarcity, it is normal for others to be shocked.

Lin Hui came out to help Yuzhu out of the predicament. "Comrade Xiao Lu's father is a section chief and a retired military officer. His father paid 600 yuan for the dowry."

Everyone was envious when they heard this, because it turned out that she did not misuse Deputy Captain Zhou's money.

It turns out that Comrade Xiao Lu is also the child of a retired military cadre!
