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

The person who called her was one of the young men who had sold her the dress in the alley before. He looked anxious, and although it was early autumn, his forehead was covered with sweat.

"You are in your twenties now, who are you calling 'big sister'?" Zhou Ruoyu glared at him with a flushed face.

She was only eighteen, as beautiful as a flower, but she was actually called "big sister". In modern society, that is a taboo.

The young man was stunned by Zhou Ruoyu's shouting, and said dryly, "Comrade... Comrade Lu asked me to come over and ask you to go to the alley."

Comrade Lu is Lu Qinchuan.

Seeing that the young man still had a timid expression, she felt she had nothing to fear. So she glared at him again and said, "Lead the way!"

He appeared calm on the surface, but his mind was actually in a mess. Although he knew that it was broad daylight and the place was under the jurisdiction of the army and there would be no danger, who knew whether these two young men would get themselves into trouble because of speculation.

After winding around and turning into the same alley, the young man knocked on the iron door three times as before.

The door opened, and Zhou Ruoyu followed the young man into the yard, still the west wing. Lu Qinchuan was already standing at the door waiting, with a righteous look on his face. Although he was still leaning on a crutch, his aura suppressed the other young man next to him so much that he couldn't raise his head.

"Lu, Comrade Lu, the female, female comrade is here."

The young man who came with Zhou Ruoyu didn't dare to look Lu Qinchuan in the eye and stammered in his response.

"The two of them are suspected of speculation and profiteering. I've been keeping an eye on them for so long and finally caught them in the act." Lu Qinchuan had a righteous look on his face, but when he looked at Zhou Ruoyu, he blinked slightly.

"Comrade Lu, we are definitely first-time offenders. We both come from very poor families."

One of the young men immediately argued, "My father is dead, and my mother ran away, leaving me with four brothers and sisters under the age of ten. There are so many mouths to feed now, and I can't just watch them starve to death. I beg the government to give me a chance."

It's obvious at first glance that he's been testing the edge of the red line for a long time. It's impossible that he's been in and out only once or twice, and he keeps telling lies.

"Very good. The government will help you take care of your brother and sister-in-law. You two are familiar with that place, so this time won't be a big deal."

Zhou Ruoyu feigned indifference, looking at the two men with a gloomy expression. "Right now, the authorities are hunting down overseas spies lurking among the people. Since they can lurk among the people, they can't be monsters with three heads and six arms. It's very likely that they are using tricks like having a father and mother who have lost their parents and married, leaving behind underage siblings, etc. to deceive the government..."

The two young men looked at each other, pursed their lips and smiled: "We don't know what spies are, don't use this to scare us.

Besides, there are dozens of families living in this alley alone, and we don’t have any words on our faces, so why would we be spies? "

"Let me tell you why I suspect you two!" Lu Qinchuan said in a deep, bone-chilling tone, "Because this is a garrison, and the people living here are all natives or military dependents. As for this alley, you two are the only ones who've moved in less than a month!"

The three people, including Zhou Ruoyu, were shocked when these words came out. Lu Qinchuan obviously didn't want to give them a break. "The ultimate goal of spies is to steal our military information. Not only are your whereabouts strange, but your behavior is also sneaky. Tell me! What are you trying to cover up? If you don't tell me now, I'll let you talk later! Go!"

"No, no, no... Big brother, big sister, my name is Gao Feng, his name is Wang Ming. We have been through thick and thin together, taking risks to do business just to make a living. It really has nothing to do with spies."

Gao Feng's face turned green. They were not stupid. During this sensitive period, if they were labeled as spies, it would not be easy to get out before the facts were investigated.

"How much did you make from speculating on the dress you sold me last time? Where did you get it from? Was it from overseas?"

"Sister, can you not mention overseas? It really has nothing to do with it. I didn't ask for the cloth coupons for those two skirts of yours. I made a total of five dollars from you. I have a clear conscience. I bought the goods from a man named Zhen Youcai, he is from Beijing."

Zhou Ruoyu stamped her foot in anger, frightening Gao Feng so much that he almost bit his tongue. "Every word I said was the truth. I even gave away my next door neighbor, and you two still don't believe me!"

"I'll say it again, don't call me big sister! Call me comrade!" Her eyebrows were almost wrinkled into a ball. Girls in later generations really care about this, especially girls like her who are so pretentious.

Gao Feng nodded repeatedly: "Comrade, I will pay you back double the money I earned from you..."

"I don't want your money, but you have to cooperate with me."

Being straightforward is an extremely effective strategy in business negotiations, and Zhou Ruoyu has tried it time and time again.

"Cooperation?" Gao Feng and Li Ming looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

"Take some of the goods from me."

Zhou Ruoyu pointed at the white shirt dress on her body, tilted her head and looked at them, giving them a look that asked what the dress looked like.

After doing this kind of business for a long time, they naturally have an idea of ​​what styles of clothes will be popular.

At first they didn't care because they were being held hostage by Lu Qinchuan and were only nervous. Now the two of them began to look Zhou Ruoyu up and down.

"Have you seen enough? Can you please give me some advice?"

Lu Qinchuan's voice came coldly. The two men in their twenties looked their newlywed wives up and down. No man could bear it.

After hearing Lu Qinchuan's words, the two of them couldn't help but shudder.

"The skirt is beautiful, the workmanship and style are also good, but we can't just buy one or two..."

Although she was afraid of Lu Qinchuan's eyes, as a businessman, taking such a big risk is not for fun. It is always about profit. Even if the craftsmanship is good, why would she talk about cooperation over one or two skirts? It's really a woman's view.

"You can have as much as you want!" Zhou Ruoyu smiled and turned around, looking very beautiful.

"Really? But a single style won't work either." Gao Feng raised his eyebrows.

Lu Qinchuan took out a few manuscripts drawn by Zhou Ruoyu in the morning from his pocket and spread them in front of the two of them.

Gao Feng and Li Ming huddled together, looking at a few drafts and nodding repeatedly: "Yes, the designs are quite novel, we can consider them. Can we make them just by drawing them?"

"Okay," Zhou Ruoyu paused, "but you have to give me some time. To show my sincerity, I'll bring these ready-made clothes over by this time next week. How do you think?"

"Okay! It's a deal!" Although Li Ming doesn't talk much, he is obviously a man who can make the final decision. He agreed directly.

After Lu Qinchuan and Zhou Ruoyu left, Gao Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead, patted his chest, and asked Li Mingdao: "Can we still stay here? Or should we leave?"

"Leave? If you leave, you'd be a fool!"
