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

She didn't feel that way when she was making dresses before, but after taking over the processing of pants, it was not the first time that Zhou Shufen told Zhou Ruoyu that there was a shortage of manpower. Pants have a relatively complex structure and require different details. Just making the pockets of the pants may take a person a whole day.

Hearing Zhou Ruoyu's reminder, Zhou Shufen's eyes lit up: "You mean she also wants to be a seamstress?"

The corners of her lips curled up, and Zhou Ruoyu's eyes sparkled: "Of course, there is no other possibility for me to come to your door today."

While the two were talking, Li Guihua had already lifted the door curtain to reveal a face full of smiles: "Oh, sister-in-law Shufen is at home. My sister-in-law is here too..."

Without waiting for the host to let her in, she squeezed in and took out the can of food she had been tucked under her arm and placed it on the table: "Sister Shufen, the pregnancy is stable now, right? I see your belly is growing forward, so it looks like you should be having a little boy. Here, eat more to replenish your body."

Zhou Shufen was not happy to hear this: "In our family, we never force the birth of a boy or a girl. A girl is even better because she knows how to love her parents."

Because she gave birth to Daya and Erya, she was ordered around by her mother-in-law and looked down upon many times in her rural hometown. Fortunately, Old Zhu was not a stupid person. She was not obsessed with giving birth to a son and loved her two daughters very much.

Li Guihua, who had nothing to do with it, came to meddle in her affairs, and Zhou Shufen became furious.

In the past, Li Guihua would never give in and would show off her two sons even more.

But she was clear about her purpose. When asking for favors, she had to be polite. She slapped her lips with a wry smile and said, "Look at my mouth, all that nonsense. I also think my daughter is good. My two idiots drive me crazy all day long, and they still eat and drink, draining our family's savings."

When Zhou Ruoyu saw that she was about to get to the point, she gave Zhou Shufen a look.

Zhou Shufen understood what Li Guihua meant and took the can of fruit she had placed on the table. She looked at it from left to right and said, "Li Guihua, it's not a festival, why are you taking things from me?"

"Oh, sister-in-law, look at what you said. What does it matter if it's not a festival? We are all military wives, so we should get along well with each other, don't you think, sister?"

Li Guihua's face was about to split open with laughter, and she looked at Zhou Ruoyu for help.

"Yes, Sister Zhou, Sister Guihua is right."

Zhou Ruoyu responded casually and continued to work on the drawings in her hands.

"Then I'll accept it. I'll just assume that you don't have anything to ask of me." Zhou Shufen looked at her and pretended to put the can into the cupboard.

Li Guihua smacked her lips dryly and couldn't help but said, "Well, sister-in-law, are you still short of seamstresses? I have a sewing machine at home..."

"Can you use a sewing machine? Your two children have grown up so much, and when their clothes get torn, they just wrinkle and get sewed carelessly. I suspect that your sewing machine has become a desk for them."

Zhou Shufen refused bluntly and turned around to stuff the can back into her arms.

Li Guihua was anxious and stretched out her hand to push him back: "Sister-in-law, aren't you insulting me, Li Guihua? Even if I'm not a human being, I can't take back what I gave away. Besides, I don't know how to do it, but I can learn. For the sake of my two disappointing sons, I have to find a way to earn money to support them, don't you agree, sister-in-law..."

He blurted out the real reason for coming here all at once.

Seeing Zhou Shufen and Zhou Ruoyu both looking at her, Li Guihua finally lowered her head in embarrassment. "There aren't many idle wives of soldiers in the compound anymore. They've all started earning money to support their families. I'm not even thirty yet, and I have two grown boys who are always begging for food and drink. My husband always looks at me with disdain when he comes home..."

When she said this, she pursed her lips. It was common for her man to beat people. Even Zhou Ruoyu had heard it once.

While neither Zhou Shufen nor Zhou Ruoyu were saints, they were truly short of manpower. Zhou Shufen bluntly stated, "Your gossipy nature is not what we want. We need to meet deadlines and ensure quality. If you sit here at the door with a few people nagging us, we'll be fined if we don't complete the task."

"I won't, never again!" Li Guihua held up a few fingers and swore, "I, Li Guihua, will definitely change my ways and stop biting other people's tongues. As long as I can make money, I'm willing to do anything!"

"Sister Guihua," Zhou Ruoyu said softly, "Since you said so, we have reached an agreement. We all want to make money and live a good life."

"There were rumors before that you wanted to report us for speculation and profiteering. I wonder if you found a way to do that?"

When Li Guihua heard this, her legs almost went weak. "Sister, it wasn't me. It was Su Hongmei and your sister-in-law who said it when they were walking by. I...I just heard it and told others about it. I, I will definitely keep my mouth shut from now on!"

Oh, it’s Su Hongmei again…

At that time, she felt that this woman would not give up easily. It turned out that unrequited love could easily drive a woman crazy.

She said to Li Guihua with a serious face, "If you want to make money, put away those cunning schemes. Let's be frank. We have to sign an agreement. If I suffer losses, you won't make any money. So, I advise you not to do things that will benefit everyone."

Li Guihua patted her chest three times and said, "Don't worry, sister. I know. If I hear any news that's bad for us again, I know what to do!"

She was very smart. When Zhou Ruoyu used the word "we", she knew that the matter was almost settled. She took a step forward with a happy face and said, "There are several military wives with me. Sister, do you think it's possible..."

"You're just like them, with a weaker foundation. You'll start by making some trouser pockets and other things. You won't earn as much as those experienced hands. Are you willing?"

"Yes, of course I do. After we finish this batch, we can go to Sister Shufen and learn some sewing. If everyone can do it well, we can do it too. Don't worry, sister."

Zhou Ruoyu likes to hear such words of determination. Having managed so many employees before, the ones with such determination usually end up being the best.

She nodded. "Then you will be responsible for the quality of the parts processing. You will be the one to gather the personnel and be responsible for any problems. We must ensure both quality and quantity. If we do something, we must do it to the best of our ability!"

Finally, she called several military wives who were chatting with her and learned the key points and basic sewing knowledge from Zhou Shufen humbly and seriously for half a day. Then she took the cut trouser pockets and happily went back to process them.

Zhou Ruoyu hugged her shoulders and looked at the receding figure: "See, we have to make them wholeheartedly become one of us, then we can do better!"
