Chapter 91: Didn’t Hold My Feng Shuo Back

Zhu Yunyao is craving for shrimp.

After Xiao Zhang made shrimp fried rice, she couldn't stop thinking about it and wanted to find a chance to ask him where he got such delicious shrimps.

Unfortunately, Feng Shuo was always finding fault with the orderly. Sometimes he complained that he was fat, and sometimes he thought he didn't have the energy to clean the yard...

Comrade Zhang Qiangqiang was directly sent to the company to strengthen his physical training, and he will also have to conduct field training in half a month.

Xiao Zhang was as tired as a mule every day. He took his last breath to write a report and apply to live in the company!

I don’t dare to go back to the courtyard.

Feng Shuo said coldly that if his training results were not good enough, he should not come back.

Xiao Zhang accepted the order with a heavy heart, carried his small package with a heavy heart, and left with a heavy heart.

On the day of leaving, Zhu Yunying went to the art troupe to look for Aunt Qin again, but missed her.

I listened to Zou Mei's vivid description, her eyebrows raised high, and she was convinced of her own judgment:

"Sister-in-law! Captain Feng is definitely jealous! He must be upset because Xiao Zhang cooked for you that day and you praised his cooking skills."

Zhu Yunying did not comment on Feng Shuo's jealousy.

If Feng Shuo was interested in me at all, he wouldn't have agreed to a marriage agreement so readily. He would have set some rules.

It should just be a training arrangement.

Looking at his cold face that even a knife couldn't cut through, his soldiers must have suffered.

But then again, there is no warmth on the battlefield. It would be the greatest irresponsibility not to sharpen yourself into a knife or a sword.

In this regard, it is a good thing that Feng Shuo is strict in military discipline.

Zhu Yunyao chuckled and responded with a laugh:

"That Captain Feng's level of jealousy needs to improve! If he hasn't grasped the main contradiction, what's the point of driving Xiao Zhang away? He needs to go find some fresh prawns and take credit for it!"

Zou Mei scratched her head, not understanding what Zhu Yunying meant.

Sister-in-law means that she wants Captain Feng to catch shrimp for her?

Should she ask Yang He to remind Captain Feng?

After all, Captain Feng is good to my sister-in-law, and they love each other, so my sister-in-law has been staying in the compound.

Thinking of this, Zou Mei made a silent note in her heart!

…

In the dance studio of the art troupe.

Aunt Qin and choreographer Zheng Hongmei were whispering to each other.

"Aunt Qin, aren't the costumes ready yet? Isn't Captain Zhao very satisfied with the design you drew? Such an honorable opportunity, why not use it?"

Zheng Hongmei waited for several days, but Aunt Qin didn't bring any clothes for her to try on, so she felt unhappy.

Aunt Qin is also anxious!

"You think I won't make it? Such a beautiful skirt, but Captain Zhao said it can only be made of Vermeil plain weave. How can it be so beautiful? I'm still looking for nice fabric. I can't let it go to waste!"

"If your skills can catch the eye of the team from Beijing, it's not impossible for Director Qin to be transferred to Beijing in the future!"

Zheng Hongmei gave her a hug when she heard that.

Generally speaking, there are regulations for the costumes required for art troupes. However, to meet the needs of future international exchanges, various regions have recently been working tirelessly, pooling their resources to design new repertoires, choreograph dances, and create new costumes, hoping to be selected and secure opportunities to travel abroad.

If you can really be selected, it will be a great thing to bring honor to your family!

"Or... ask that capitalist's daughter. Did she bring any dowry with her when she joined the army? She might even have some cloth!"

"No... not really."

Aunt Qin dodged her gaze for a moment, wanting to refuse.

Zheng Hongmei didn't care: "Didn't you want to call someone to help before? Why are you silent again? Aunt Qin, are you hiding something from me?"

"No, no! I have nothing to tell you! Don't try to frame me. If you have any material to recommend, just tell me. If not, I'll just use Verding to make it first!"

Aunt Qin seemed to be dissatisfied with Zheng Hongmei's inability to help and her blind instructions, so she turned around and left angrily.

Zheng Hongmei rolled her eyes in annoyance.

I cursed in my heart: This guy must have done something bad again.

At this time, Zhu Yunying, who was lying on the window sill and heard the conversation, began to murmur.

She turned around and asked Zou Mei, "Didn't you say Aunt Qin came to me specifically to ask me to work on the costumes? Why are you changing your mind now?"

Zou Mei was also puzzled: "Yeah! She was so proud that day!"

Zhu Yunying felt that there must be something fishy going on, so she stood up and dusted off her hands.

"I'll go see what she's afraid of!"

"Aunt Qin went that way!"

Zou Mei kindly pointed to the path to the north, which led to the family compound.

But Zhu Yunying shook her head: "You stay here for me, I'll go find Captain Zhao!"

"Captain Zhao's office is on the second floor. I'll be guarding the stairs! No one will dare go up there!"

When Zou Mei heard this, she became excited and pushed Zhu Yunying upstairs.

…

Office on the second floor.

Zhao Chunlan, the head of the art troupe, was worrying about the performance costumes when he heard a knock on the door.

When she opened the door, she didn't expect it was Zhu Yunying. When she first saw her face, she was stunned for a while.

"Captain Zhao, I am Comrade Feng Shuo's wife, Zhu Yunyao."

Zhu Yunying had given Political Commissar Zhang a small white melon last time. Standing at the door, she glanced into the house. The furnishings were simple, without a single unnecessary thing. She knew that both the husband and wife attached great importance to discipline.

Since she had just arrived, she came to visit the family and brought gifts with her for a reason.

But this time, in order to fight for a job opportunity, he deliberately came empty-handed so as not to make things difficult for the other party.

Sure enough, Zhu Yunyao greeted Zhao Chunlan with a smile, her eyebrows curved, but she still noticed that Zhao Chunlan's gaze quietly moved down and glanced at her hand.

Seeing that she was not holding anything, she responded to him with a smile.

"It's Comrade Xiao Zhu! What a rare guest! Come on, come in and have a seat. How are you? Are you adjusting to life in the compound? You helped our old Zhang a lot a while ago, and I haven't had time to thank you yet!"

Zhao Chunlan welcomed the person in.

Zhu Yunying and Political Commissar Zhang did not have much interaction. Apart from Feng Shuo, the only thing they had in common was the organization and archiving of books in the library.

She said frankly, "When I was in Haicheng, I was in charge of the library. I'm very happy to be able to help here. At least, I didn't hold our Feng Shuo back."

"What a pity, your identity is really special. Otherwise, arranging a job in the library would also be a good idea."

Zhao Chunlan is indeed a cultured person.

Use the opponent's force to counter attack.

He first affirmed Zhu Yunying's ability by using the work in the library, and then used the composition to put pressure on her and give her a timely warning.

There is no such thing as a job in the library, and no formal position in the art troupe.

Zhu Yunying has known this for a long time, and she is not looking for a long-term job, but wants to test the depth of performance costumes.

"Feng Shuo and I just got married, and we want to have a child soon while we're still young. It takes a year to get pregnant, and several more to raise a child. I'm really... a little hesitant to take on a formal job, leaving early and coming back late."

Zhu Yunying said this, her cheeks flushed, her brows drooping with shame: "Captain Zhao, please don't think I'm low-minded. I just want to give Feng Shuo a child as soon as possible..."

The sound became smaller and smaller.

Zhao Chunlan was stunned at first. He thought that this young lady would be spoiled, but he didn't expect that she would value family so much. Then he changed his mind and thought that this was indeed a good roundabout way.

Marriage means having children.

In recent years, the situation has become increasingly tense, and even the red capitalists are dancing in shackles and having a hard time.

It would be better to focus on taking care of your husband and children, and then seize the opportunity when the time is right.

Be prudent and protect yourself, and bide your time.

A smart one.

Zhao Chunlan's original doubts also disappeared.

At this moment, she was quite respectful and enthusiastic towards Zhu Yunwei in front of her, and admired her very much.

"It wouldn't hurt to find some odd jobs now and then and talk to other people."

Zhao Chunlan smiled.

Zhu Yunying nodded obediently, resting her fingers on her knees. She twisted her body awkwardly and smiled, "Actually, I came here today to ask Captain Zhao for help..."

"I can't promise you directly. Tell me about it first." Zhao Chunlan had already made up his mind that he would help if he could, but he didn't dare to make a promise on his face.

Zhu Yunying smiled shyly, "A few days ago, Aunt Qin came to see me and asked me to help make the costumes for the consolation performance. But I happened to be away from home and missed it. After several coincidences, I still haven't run into Aunt Qin."

"So... you want me to help build a bridge between you and Aunt Qin? To prevent her from misunderstanding you and ruining the relationship?"

"I wanted to see if Aunt Qin could be of any help since she's been so busy lately. If I could, it would be more meaningful than a verbal apology."

Zhu Yunwei's eyes were burning and sincere.

Zhao Chunlan nodded, stood up and took a design draft of the performance costumes from the table.

"Aunt Qin has a strong background in art and is in charge of the compound's propaganda posters. She's politically conscious and progressive, and the costumes she designed are truly stunning. It's just that she's a little worried about finding the right fabric..."

Zhu Yunyao looked down, and her eyebrows couldn't help but raise, and she sneered in her heart:

No wonder he was avoiding her!

The performance costume designed by Aunt Qin was actually picked out from Zhu Yunying's wardrobe!
