My little country wife whom I haven't seen for eight years has come to join the army

Her heart sank. Why was Lu Qinchuan here? Was she delirious from the fever and seeing things?

Just as she was hesitating, Lu Xiaohua, who was sitting next to her, nudged her with his elbow and whispered, "Do you think that man is my fourth brother?"

It turned out that she had seen it too, but she didn't dare to confirm it.

The man standing at the corner of the stairs was wearing a half-new military uniform with some dust on it, and he looked exhausted.

He had an unlit cigarette in his mouth and was looking at something that looked like a checklist in his hand, not noticing that there were two pairs of puzzled eyes looking at him among the people in the hall.

"It's him!" Zhou Ruoyu responded to Lu Xiaohua in a low voice.

After receiving the affirmation, Lu Xiaohua immediately wanted to stand up and call him, but Zhou Ruoyu grabbed him and said, "What are you doing? Didn't you say you were on a mission? How could you be here?"

Lu Xiaohua blinked, sat back down, and said in a muffled voice, "He's lying, in order not to go home? Then, is he—"

Zhou Ruoyu rolled her eyes, waiting for her to finish her sentence. Lu Xiaohua swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth: "Do you have a terminal illness that you don't want you to know about?"

……

It was very sudden, because this was Lu Qinchuan's biological sister.

"Let's observe first, shhh..." She made a gesture to silence, and Lu Xiaohua shut up and carefully observed Lu Qinchuan's actions.

Lu Qinchuan looked at the list for a long time, then looked around, and put the list back into his military uniform pocket as if he had been discovered.

He was about to leave when the door of his nearest clinic opened. Captain Zhu came out with a red face, patted Lu Qinchuan on the shoulder and left together.

The aunt and sister-in-law looked at each other, and saw confusion in each other's eyes. What was going on?

"Xiao Lin, have my fourth brother and the others come to the hospital recently?"

Nurse Xiaolin and Director Wang are old acquaintances of Lu Qinchuan, and he must visit them when he comes to the hospital.

"How is that possible? Captain Lu is currently on a field mission and can't even see your family. How can we possibly see them?"

Then her eyebrows raised high: "You are hoping for something bad, who would come to the hospital for no reason? Get out of here!"

Lu Xiaohua did as she was told. She glanced at Zhou Ruoyu and gave her a look that said, "This is the man you are worried about." She sighed and sat back in her original seat.

The IV drip was quickly finished. Director Wang touched her forehead and prescribed some anti-inflammatory medicine for her: "Take it if you have a fever again tonight. If you don't have a fever tomorrow morning, you don't have to come to the hospital. Just take the medicine as scheduled."

Zhou Ruoyu was very grateful to God for allowing her to travel to this era with Western medicine. Although it was not well developed, at least she didn't have to endure the same hardships as in ancient times.

After the IV drip, my legs and feet felt lighter, and my hands and feet were no longer sore. Although I was still very tired, I felt much better than I had been this morning.

Lu Xiaohua accompanied her to the garment factory. Zhou Shufen, with her bulging belly, shuttled between the various machines. From the initial resistance to the current love, Zhou Shufen also found her self-worth and quickly immersed herself in the enthusiasm for work.

She patiently guided the wives of soldiers who worked on any machine and they quickly mastered the techniques. The working atmosphere was very enthusiastic.

Li Ming came early and was sitting in the office reading a fashion magazine. Seeing Zhou Ruoyu come in, he was a little surprised: "You don't look well, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just a cold. How are you today?"

She asked Li Ming to collect some information about Liang Meimei, a star who is not very popular at present. Li Ming is now traveling between Luancheng and Beijing. Relying on his original and later established network of contacts, he is stepping up efforts to collect information about Liang Meimei.

"Are you sure you want to find her? She's caught in a public opinion storm right now. If she can't recover, you'll lose the gamble if you find her." Li Ming pushed the newly bought fashion magazine in front of Zhou Ruoyu's eyes. "Look, this news should be from a week ago. She's been suspended from work now."

Zhou Ruoyu picked up a fashion magazine. The cover still featured Liang Meimei’s beautiful photo, but underneath it was a very topical title written in a very eye-catching font: Big star Liang Meimei’s performance boycott continues, and fans are demanding a refund!

Liang Meimei was really beautiful during this period, with a very plastic face. Even in the era when silicone faces were rampant decades later, this face still had a unique brightness and charm.

"Do you know why we're on strike?" Zhou Ruoyu thought for a moment and looked up at Li Ming.

Li Ming was a little confused and asked, "Do you mean you still want her to advertise our clothing? Celebrities surrounded by negative news are easily abandoned by the public, which means we will lose money."

"Um,"

Zhou Ruoyu's eyes were determined. "While she's at her lowest point, we shouldn't give up on her. We should lend a helping hand. Since I want to work with her long-term, I must show my sincerity. Only those who stick with her are true partners. What do you think?"

"It's all gossip. It's said that she had a disagreement with the director and would rather cancel the contract than act. I haven't found out what the specific conflict was with the director."

"If it doesn't involve politics, I would like to meet her at this low point in her life."

"Politics is not involved. If you have any ideas, I do have a way to ask her out. The location can be Luancheng, because she has plans to sign books in Luancheng soon."

Seeing that she really wanted to see Liang Meimei, Li Ming told her everything he knew. He said that what he couldn't do in Beijing could be done in Luancheng.

Zhou Ruoyu gave him an approving look: "Okay, then I'll wait for your news, and you can tell her my sincerity in advance."

Through the transparent glass window, you can see the bustling and crowded scene in the workshop.

Zhou Shufen was the busiest among them. She and Ding Peipei were meticulously checking the quality of each product. Those that passed inspection were handed over to Li Guihua and a few other wives of military officers, whose skills were less mature, to meticulously fold and bag them for safekeeping.

"This is the processing fee for this batch,"

Li Ming gently pushed a thick stack of banknotes in front of her. Since the largest denomination of currency in circulation at that time was only ten yuan, the stack of money looked particularly thick.

"Director Zhang has clearly stated that as long as the order can be successfully completed, he will immediately pay the corresponding processing fees."

Li Ming's gaze fell on her again, and he continued, "However, I'm afraid you won't be able to relax for too long, because we need to start processing the next batch of orders tomorrow. The number this time is still quite large, about a hundred or so."

This is undoubtedly good news. After all, who would easily give up such a rare opportunity to make money?

But Zhou Ruoyu still has to wait for the meeting with Liang Meimei. Her ambition is not in Luancheng. What she wants to do is to at least become a fashion trendsetter in the region.

It’s an exciting moment for the military wives: the salary has been paid.

Wang Suqin and several other military wives who signed up later were so excited that they hugged each other and jumped up and down with the dozens of dollars they had just received. In their minds, it was impossible for women to earn money and they had to rely on their men to support them.

Now that I have earned my first pot of gold with my own ability, how can I remain calm?

Looking at the smiling military wives, Zhou Ruoyu raised the corners of her mouth: This is just the beginning, sooner or later I will let you show off your fat every day!
