"I work in the Criminal Investigation Brigade." Jiang Juntao put on his backpack and said with a smile, "I should call you sister-in-law."

"Haha..." Chen Shuning said enthusiastically, "Junshan has just been transferred there, and I haven't met his colleagues yet. Comrade Jiang Juntao, don't worry, Heping is with me, and nothing will happen."

Chen Shuning turned his head to look at Jiang Heping and said jokingly, "Heping, you did a good job of keeping the secret."

"What's there to say?" Jiang Heping retorted, "It's not like I work in the Criminal Investigation Brigade."

She raised her eyes and urged, "Brother, go home first! I'll be back tomorrow. Tell Mom that I'll take care of making the new clothes!"

"Well, be careful."

Jiang Juntao doesn't care about clothes. He and his sister always wear whatever their parents prepare for them.

After packing his luggage, he waved goodbye to the distant place: "Shuning, Heping, Zhongyu, Zhujun, I have to catch the train, so I'll leave first."

"Wait, take this with you." Meng Zhujun stood up, took a flat paper box from the upper bunk, and stuffed it into Xiang Yuanfang's hand.

"My mother prepared these famous dim sum from Beijing." Meng Zhujun pointed to the upper bunk and said, "One box per person, take it home for your family to try."

It's not easy for Meng Zhujun to make true friends, and Shen Meiying takes this very seriously. She specially prepared gifts to help her daughter build closer relationships and to thank them for helping Meng Zhujun.

Meng Zhujun fell behind in her studies due to her illness, and her roommates took turns helping her with the lessons, so her grades have caught up. Next semester, she'll be able to study with Professor Lu.

"I'm so sorry." Xiang Yuanfang smiled shyly and whispered, "The food at this dim sum shop is not cheap. I'm sorry to have cost Auntie so much."

"Hey, take it quickly!" Meng Zhujun said with a smile, "Try something new."

Snowflakes drifted outside the window, and the bustling dormitory fell silent. It was empty inside, and everyone would meet here again next year.

Icy snowflakes fell on his face, melting into water and bringing a cool breeze. Chen Shuning wrapped his scarf around his neck and was the first to jump off the bus.

"Shuning, go slowly, don't be in a hurry." Guo Junshan stopped and turned around to take the luggage from Liu Zhongyu.

With his feet touching the ground, Liu Zhongyu looked up and smiled, "This street is really lively. If you do business here, you will definitely make a lot of money."

"I don't dare to think about making a lot of money." Chen Shuning said with a smile on his face, "Opening a tailor shop requires money everywhere. The pressure is too great."

"Come on, let's follow and take a look." Jiang Heping stood on tiptoe and looked forward.

Guo Junshan walked forward, stopped at the door of the tailor shop, and urged: "Shuning, hurry in and take a look!"

"Sister-in-law, you're finally here!" Wei Gaoyun pushed open the door and came out smiling, "Come in and see how I arranged it."

"Gao Yun, thank you for your hard work!" Chen Shuning walked into the tailor shop with a smile, looked around, and his smile became more and more intense.

The tailor shop wasn't big, with a row of fabrics on a shelf in the corner. The selection wasn't extensive, just basic fabrics.

"Sister-in-law, the fabric is sold incidentally, and after accounting for wear and tear, there isn't much profit."

"I asked a friend to get three sewing machines from a garment factory. Even though they were discarded, they can still make clothes. They're also cheap, so I saved a lot of money, and I don't need tickets."

"This honeycomb coal stove is my gift to you for your grand opening." Wei Gaoyun pointed to the corner and said, "I bought 150 yuan worth of honeycomb coal. You guys burn it first. If it's not enough, tell me."

"Gao Yun, that stove must have cost a lot of money, right?" Chen Shuning frowned and said, "We run a tailor shop, and I'm embarrassed to have you running around all the time and money. I'm sorry for that."

Wei Gaoyun laughed innocently twice and said loudly, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be polite with me. My brother and I have been friends for so many years, we are like brothers even though we are not blood brothers."

"It's the same with brothers. I can't take advantage of you." Chen Shuning urged: "Hurry up and make a list. I'll give you the money."

"Sister-in-law, the tailor shop has just opened and we need money everywhere. It's okay to give it to us later." Wei Gaoyun looked at Guo Junshan with some embarrassment in his eyes.

"Don't look at me. Let's keep things separate." Guo Junshan said sternly, "If you like someone, go and ask them yourself. Don't expect your sister-in-law to be the matchmaker."

Liu Zhongyu put away his luggage and looked around, finding everything new. From time to time, he whispered something to Jiang Heping, but his voice was too quiet for Chen Shuning to hear clearly.

Chen Shuning raised his head: "Who do you like? You still need me to introduce you."

"It's, it's Comrade Ma Lanzhi." Wei Gaoyun stuttered, "I, we've met a few times. She's a very nice person, I..."

"Lanzhi is a good comrade. It's normal for you to like her." Chen Shuning smiled and encouraged, "Gao Yun, try your best to pursue her. I'm optimistic about you."

Wei Gaoyun is Guo Junshan's good friend, and Chen Shuning and Ma Lanzhi have a close relationship. But even so, Guo Junshan and Chen Shuning cannot get involved.

If it works, everyone is happy. If it doesn't, how will they meet in the future?

"Sister-in-law, please say a few good words for me!" Wei Gaoyun pleaded bitterly, "I like her very much. As long as it works out, she will be the one making the decisions at home from now on."

"Go and tell them yourself!" Chen Shuning walked to the back of the tailor shop and called out, "Zhongyu, Heping, let's go take a look in the back."

Pushing open the door, there was a bedroom. There were two wooden beds placed side by side, barely enough for four people, but it would be more spacious for three.

There was a stool in the corner, but otherwise nothing else.

"Zhongyu, let me make your bed." Jiang Heping brought in the bedding, rolled up his sleeves and was about to put it on the bed.

"Let me wipe it once, then spread the bedding!" Chen Shuning turned to look at Wei Gaoyun and asked, "Gaoyun, where can I get the water?"

"It's a long way to go. I'll take you there."

Crossing the busy streets and turning into a small alley, Wei Gaoyun pointed ahead and said, "You can get water here. Try to avoid waiting at different times, otherwise you'll have to queue. There's a public restroom a few steps ahead."

"Wait for Ma Lanzhi and Wang Na to come over and see if there's anything you need. I'll take you out to buy it."

"I don't understand this." Chen Shuning smiled and said, "Zhongyu and I will be in charge of the reception, while Lanzhi and Wang Na will be in charge of making the clothes. Gao Yun, just discuss it with Lanzhi."

Wei Gaoyun's eyes lit up and he smiled shyly: "Hehe...sister-in-law, then I'll discuss this with Lanzhi!"

He couldn't miss such a good opportunity to get close to Ma Lanzhi.

Guo Junshan filled the water bucket and came over with it: "I'm going to buy a pot so I can cook and boil water. I also need to light the stove. It's too cold in the house to work."

The tailor shop was filled with the smell of smoke. Chen Shuning bent down to spread the bedding. Turning around, he saw Liu Zhongyu's red hands and said distressedly, "Zhongyu, don't worry. Wait until the hot water is boiled before wiping them!"

"Shuning, I'll clean this bed. When Ma Lanzhi and Wang Na come over, we can put down the bedding directly."

"It doesn't matter if you wait a little longer." Chen Shuning grabbed the rag and held her hand tightly.

Jiang Heping grabbed the tape measure and shouted, "Shuning, come here and teach me how to measure. I want to order a few sets of clothes."
