Lorraine Apartments, 5pm.

Zhang Yunhe returned home and opened the door with his key.

The sound of cooking came from the kitchen, and the aroma of dishes wafted over.

Perhaps having heard the door open, Liu Huilan, wearing an apron around her waist and holding a spatula, poked her head out of the kitchen and asked, "Why are you back so early today?"

Zhang Yunhe took off his coat and said, "It's Saturday today, so I came back early since I had nothing to do. What dish did you make that smells so good?"

"We have your favorite braised fish and lamb stewed with radish. Wash your face and get ready to eat!" Liu Huilan said and continued to cook.

After a while, a mutton hotpot and three other dishes were placed on the table.

"time to eat!"

At Liu Huilan's invitation, Zhang Yunhe, who had been sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, put the newspaper on the coffee table, stood up, and sat down at the dining table. Seeing his wife bring a bottle of red wine and two tall glasses, he couldn't help but smile and said, "We live a pretty bourgeois life. It's really not easy to have a quiet meal like this these days!"

"What day is it today? Why is it so grand?"

Liu Huilan opened the red wine with a corkscrew and poured some into two tall glasses, one for each of them. She pretended to be angry and said, "You actually forgot such an important day. It seems that you don't care about me at all!"

Zhang Yunhe quickly used his brain to try to recall the past, and this memory actually reminded him that today was the first anniversary of his and Liu Huilan’s marriage.

"I remember now, today is our first wedding anniversary. It's my fault!"

After saying that, he reached into his pocket, took out an exquisite jewelry box from his backpack, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Liu Huilan, saying with a smile, "This is for you!"

This is a Western ladies' watch that Chen Yucai gave to his wife as a thank you when they met yesterday afternoon. This means that this watch was originally given to Liu Huilan.

Liu Huilan didn't expect that Zhang Yunhe actually prepared a gift. It turned out that Zhang Yunhe seemed to have forgotten their first wedding anniversary, but he was actually pretending.

When I opened the jewelry box, I found a very valuable and exquisite women's watch inside. I was very excited.

“Wow, what a beautiful watch!”

"Do you like it?" Zhang Yunhe asked with a smile.

"I like it. Thank you, Mr. Zhang!" Liu Huilan was extremely happy. After kissing Zhang Yunhe, she put the watch on her wrist and looked at it left and right, her face full of joy.

"Come, let's celebrate for our husband and wife having gone through the difficult yet happy past year together! Huilan, I wish you eternal youth, constant laughter, and continued beauty. Cheers!"

"cheers!"

The couple clinked their glasses warmly and enjoyed a pleasant dinner together.

After dinner, Liu Huilan cleared the dishes. Zhang Yunhe sat on the sofa, reading the newspaper and said to her, "By the way, I have to go out around eight o'clock. I have a batch of goods to ship out!"

Liu Huilan frowned upon hearing this and asked, "What kind of goods are you shipping at night? Can't you ship them during the day?"

Zhang Yunhe said, "It's because we can't sell it during the day, so we have to trade it at night. That thing can't be traded openly!"

"Could it be sulfa? I heard that the Japanese are conducting strict inspections in the Chinese area. All major hospitals, pharmacies and Chinese medicine shops are under strict inspection and are not allowed to sell anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics!" Liu Huilan asked.

"No, it's a batch of arms!" Zhang Yunhe said after taking a sip of hot tea.

"What? Arms? Oh my God, if we get caught buying or selling this stuff, we'll lose our heads!" Liu Huilan was so scared that her face turned pale and she almost dropped the dishes and chopsticks in her hands.

Zhang Yunhe hurriedly said, "Oh my lady, could you please be quiet? You're so startled. Don't you know that walls have ears? If someone hears, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Do you think if I don't do this business, no one else will? Although these days are not peaceful, dangers often bring opportunities. Besides, I have a pass given by the French, so if the transaction volume is not large, I generally won't get into trouble!"

"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone about this! Hey, I shouldn't have told you this. You women can't keep secrets!"

The weather outside was cold, and while it was still early, after Liu Huilan had cleaned up, the young couple went into the bedroom and spent some time together. In order to have a baby, they did not waste a single day.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhang Yunhe, shirtless, threw off the quilt and stood up to put on his clothes: "I have to go!"

Liu Huilan hugged his waist from behind and whispered, "Be careful and be smart. If you find anything wrong, get out of here immediately. It doesn't matter if the goods are lost, we can earn the money again. Don't put yourself in danger!"

Feeling the softness and smoothness on his back, and listening to his wife's gentle words, Zhang Yunhe felt his heart filled with happiness!

"Okay, I understand!" Zhang Yunhe agreed.

Liu Huilan continued, "There's a female colleague at our school whose husband is also in the foreign goods business. I heard you're a comprador for Yihua Foreign Trade Company and have a source of goods. That female colleague and her husband would like to invite you to meet for dinner. I guess they want to get some goods from you!"

Zhang Yunhe said, "Since he's the husband of your school colleague, I must give you face. Please discuss the time with that colleague!"

The wife turned Zhang Yunhe's head with both hands and kissed him, "Thank you!"

"I haven't had enough yet, wait until I come back!"

Liu Huilan blushed shyly and agreed: "Yes!"

After leaving home, Zhang Yunhe found a public telephone booth and called the local tyrant Fan Biao.

"Hey?"

"Boss Fan, it's me, Zhang Yunhe! I have a batch of goods to ship tonight, and I need to borrow twenty of your men. Let everyone bring their equipment. It's still the same old rule, ten dollars per man!"

"Hahaha, no problem. You bastard, if you don't want to make money, where will the brothers find you?"

"We'll still have to go to the Dafeng Warehouse. Just have them arrive within half an hour!"

"no problem!"

Zhang Yunhe asked Fan Biao to borrow people not because he was worried that Chen Yu would do something unscrupulous, nor was he worried that he would default on his debts. He just wanted to use these borrowed people to boost his momentum and make the transaction go smoothly. If he went alone to trade such a large batch of arms, it would inevitably give people the impression that he was alone and powerless.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yunhe walked into an alley, took out a car from his backpack, and drove straight to Dafeng Warehouse.

After arriving at Dafeng Warehouse, he rented a warehouse from the owner, and then took out all the weapons, equipment and ammunition of a reorganized division from the backpack space and piled them in the warehouse.

Not long after, Fan Biao actually came in person with people.

"Hey, why did Boss Fan bring people here personally this time?"

Fan Biao took off his hat, touched his bald head, and said with a smile, "Brother, you've borrowed so many people at once this time. It must be a big deal. I'm worried about something going wrong, so I came here to keep an eye on it in case some ignorant people break the rules!"
