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

"Gu Changhong?" Lai Yunlong's eyes widened, stunned for a moment. The dandy boy who had nearly gotten himself into an affair with Zhou Ruoyu. He knew exactly what Su Hongmei was up to, and he wanted to reject her suggestion. But when he met her intense gaze, the words on his lips dissolved into saliva and he swallowed them back.

"Yes, the sooner the better."

Su Hongmei was very anxious. When she thought of Zhou Ruoyu, wearing a well-fitting and beautiful dress, fluttering in front of Lu Qinchuan like a butterfly, her heart was in a knot.

Lai Yunlong made up his mind and just listened to Su Hongmei! His future was in the hands of Su Hongmei, and he couldn't afford to ruin it for Zhou Ruoyu.

As it was getting dark, two more people came to Lu Qinchuan's ward. They were Captain Zhu and Zhou Shufen. He had been present when Captain Chen had ordered that no outsiders should enter Lu Qinchuan's ward.

He tactfully peered through the window from outside the door, then turned back to Zhou Shufen, pouted, and whispered to Nurse Xiaolin, "Hey, Xiaolin, I'll have to trouble you to call Captain Lu's family out. I'm their neighbor, and I was in a hurry to get out this morning, so my wife insisted on sending some things over."

After a day of contact, Nurse Kobayashi and Zhou Ruoyu got along very well.

In the morning, she saw with her own eyes that it was Captain Zhu who brought Zhou Ruoyu in, and she also heard that it was Captain Lu’s neighbor. The couple was not as shameless as Su Hongmei and Lai Yunlong before, who entered the ward without permission.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll call her out."

In the hospital room, Zhou Ruoyu and Lu Qinchuan sat staring at each other. They hadn't seen each other for eight years. The boy from back then had become a young military officer and a husband she didn't know. She racked her memory to find some common topics, but Zhou Ruoyu tragically discovered that there were none.

She was only ten years old when Lu Qinchuan left home, and for a long time before that, Lu Qinchuan had deliberately avoided Zhou Ruoyu because he was afraid of being laughed at by his friends for having a young wife following him.

She feigned concern, repeating the same few words, "Are you in pain?", "Are you hungry?", "Are you thirsty?", and then sat there in silence. At this moment, she really wanted someone to open the door and come in, even if it was... the annoying Su Hongmei and Lai Yunlong who came to argue.

As the door opened, Nurse Xiao Lin poked her round little head in. "Mrs. Zhou, Captain Zhu and his wife, who brought you here this morning, are here with some things. Please come out for a moment."

She was truly a living Bodhisattva who saved people from danger. Zhou Ruoyu bowed three times to Nurse Xiaolin in her heart. As she turned to leave, she did not forget to comfort the person on the bed with kind words: "Sister Zhou is here. I'll go see her. I'll also ask Captain Zhu to come in and chat with you."

The person on the hospital bed was also very embarrassed. When he heard this, his eyes lit up. He didn't want to expose his worst side to others all the time, especially in front of Zhou Ruoyu.

After quietly closing the ward door, I saw Zhou Shufen coming up with a bundle in her hand. "Sister, what's wrong?"

"They're all external injuries. The doctor said normal anti-inflammatory treatment and rest will be enough. Look, Sister Zhou, you've troubled me to make this trip."

The first person she met in the military compound was Zhou Shufen. Based on her many years of experience in judging people through the ups and downs of the business world, she knew that Zhou Shufen was someone she could get along with.

Zhou Ruoyu nodded to Captain Zhu and said, "Brother Zhu, please go in and chat with Old Lu. It's a good opportunity for me to talk to Sister Zhou as well."

Captain Zhu smiled and nodded, then told his wife, "This is a hospital. Be careful with your words. Don't act like you're at home."

"I know. You treat me like a three-year-old."

Zhou Shufen smiled and gave him a blank look, then stuffed the bag in her hand into Zhou Ruoyu's hand.

"Our Lao Zhu sent you here this morning, and after he got home, he blamed himself for not reminding you to bring some personal belongings. So I quickly made one for you, so please don't be disgusted."

Zhou Ruoyu smiled and untied the bundle herself as she spoke: "Sister Zhou, you made a dress so quickly?"

"I don't have any other skills. You are taller and thinner than me, so I roughly followed this size. It will definitely fit you." Zhou Shufen laughed and watched her expectantly as she opened the bundle and took out a neatly folded white round-neck sleeveless vest made of Dacron and a pair of dark blue trousers made of the same Dacron material.

Nurse Xiaolin exclaimed in surprise: "Sister-in-law, you actually made this by hand? Oh my god, it looks just like the ones you bought."

Zhou Ruoyu also looked at Zhou Shufen with surprise, which made her feel very proud, but also a little shy.

"I don't have the energy to farm, cooking at home is tasteless, and talking to men is uninteresting. This is the only skill passed down from my ancestors that I can use."

"Sister Zhou," Zhou Ruoyu opened it and measured it on herself, "This fits perfectly! Oh my god, how did you do it? You didn't even use a ruler."

Zhou Shufen felt a little proud as her presence was fully displayed. "My skills are nothing compared to others. My mother didn't even need a ruler to make cheongsams for the daughters of wealthy families."

Nurse Xiaolin coughed. This was an era when people were quite sensitive about class background. Working as a servant in the home of a capitalist or landlord was also a label that could be attached to someone. After Nurse Xiaolin's kind reminder, Zhou Shufen finally realized that she had said something wrong and her face turned pale.

Zhou Ruoyu, whose soul came from a distant era, didn't care about any of this. All she cared about was Zhou Shufen's craftsmanship: "Sister Zhou, can you make this dress of mine?"

As she spoke, she twisted her waist and turned around in front of the two men.

"Yes," Zhou Shufen said firmly. "This dress actually takes less time than these vest and pants. Uh... just give me half a day and I can make it."

After hearing what she said, it was now Nurse Xiaolin who was surprised: "Sister-in-law, are you telling the truth?"

Zhou Shufen puffed out her chest and said proudly, "Of course."

"Wow, I really like this dress, Mrs. Zhou. I saw it at the supply and marketing cooperative last time, but they only had one size, and I'm too fat to wear it..."

Nurse Xiaolin pouted, her unrequited love evident in her words, and then she looked at Zhou Shufen with shining eyes: "Sister-in-law, can you make one for me?"

"Of course, you can buy the fabric you like, and I can make it for you in any shape you want."

Zhou Shufen came from the countryside and was known for her roughness in the military family compound. No one expected that she had such exquisite skills, which made Zhou Ruoyu look at her with admiration.

Zhou Ruoyu left in a hurry this morning and didn't have time to change out of her dress. She was there to take care of a patient, and wearing a dress would not only be inconvenient, but would also make people feel she was frivolous.

She went into the bathroom and changed into the vest and trousers that Zhou Shufen had tailored for her. When she appeared in front of the two of them again, looking refreshed, Nurse Xiaolin's eyes widened: "Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are amazing."
