"Jiang Yue, why are you here at this time?" Xu Fen came to open the door. When she saw that it was Jiang Yue standing at the door, she was surprised that it was so early in the morning and Jiang Yue looked so bad.

"Sister-in-law, is Brother Tang up yet?" Jiang Yue's eyes were dark. She hadn't been able to sleep since she had that dream last night. When she finally fell asleep, she was still half asleep and half awake, with her mind tense.

"Well, get up. Are you looking for him? I'll go call him!" Xu Fen saw that Jiang Yue's face was not good, and guessed that Jiang Yue must have something important to come here at this time.

"Brother Tang, do you have any news about Gu Ye?" Jiang Yue asked hurriedly when he saw Political Commissar Tang coming out of the bedroom.

Political Commissar Tang was very surprised. "No, Gu Ye is not allowed to contact the outside world when he is on a mission. What's wrong, sister-in-law? Is there something wrong at home?"

Jiang Yue bit her nails, lowered her eyes, and looked anxious. "He said he would be back in a month, but it's been a month and a half, and there's still no news. I'm a little worried!"

What Jiang Yue didn't say was that she was already worried for more than a little while. After having those two strange dreams in succession, she always felt uneasy in her heart because the dreams were too real.

"Don't worry, Gu Ye will be fine! He will be back after completing the mission!" Xu Fen saw that Jiang Yue's eyes were bloodshot and couldn't help but comfort her.

Political Commissar Tang also said: "No news, that means the mission has not been completed yet. Sometimes the estimated time is inaccurate, this situation also happens!"

"Okay!" Jiang Yue could see that Political Commissar Tang really didn't know about Gu Ye's recent situation. She forced a smile and said, "Sorry to come here so early to disturb you!"

"It's okay! Come over anytime if you need anything. If you need help, just ask someone to come over and tell me!"

Xu Fen sat next to Jiang Yue, patted Jiang Yue's hand, and asked, "Jiang Yue, there is something I have always wanted to ask you. I heard from our school's teacher Lu that the manual for the imported equipment at the machinery factory was translated by a family member of a soldier in our unit. He also said his last name was Jiang. Is it you?"

Jiang Yue was thinking about something, and she was a little slow to react after hearing what he said. She nodded, "Yes! I translated it!"

Xu Fen was very happy. "I guessed it was you! Jiang Yue, you don't know that Teacher Lu rarely praises people. He praised your excellent translation and asked me to help find out how you learned so well."

Jiang Yue smiled. Her grandmother was a professor of English at a university. She had been bilingual at home since she was a child, and could even communicate in multiple languages. During the holidays, her grandparents would take her to travel around the world. If she couldn't learn the language well, no one could learn it well.

But Jiang Yue naturally couldn't say these words, so she just said: "I was just quite interested, so I went to the library to find a book, read along, and memorize it. In fact, I was also nervous after I finished translating, worried that I would mess it up!"

"You are just too modest!" Xu Fen said with a smile: "I didn't know you were such a good student before!"

"My sister-in-law has this ability?" Political Commissar Tang was also surprised when he heard that Jiang Yue helped translate for the machinery factory.

After leaving Political Commissar Tang's house, Jiang Yue's uneasiness did not subside at all, but became even more worried.

However, Jiang Yue was worried but she couldn't do anything. Life had to go on. Marrying a soldier was like this. They could go to the battlefield at any time. The soldier's duty was to obey orders. The national interest was above all else!

On the second day of opening the store, just as Jiang Yue had expected, sales were not as hot as the first day, but it was still very good. A total of 123 tops, 56 bottoms, and 5 dresses were sold, for a total of 709 yuan.

Jiang Yue was still very satisfied.

The sales on the third day were 367.5 yuan. So the total sales for the first three days was 2,199.5 yuan, which is quite an astonishing number.

You know, this has been seven or eight years!

However, from the fourth day on, the turnover dropped drastically. Including pants, only about 20 pairs were sold a day. As for women's clothing, many people looked at it, but no one bought it. After all, it was 1977 or 1980, and the purchasing power of ordinary people was still limited.

On the fifth day, I sold ten pieces. On the sixth day, the number dropped to single digits. On the seventh day, the number recovered a little and I sold more than ten pieces, including two skirts.

"Jiang Yue, how about we have another discount promotion? There are people coming in these days, but they leave when they hear there is no discount." Lian Rongrong was very anxious as she saw the sales volume getting lower day by day.

"Don't be anxious! It's normal!" Jiang Yue was not anxious at all. This is how business is done. There won't be hot sales every day, and discounts can't be given every day, otherwise there will be no sense of anticipation.

She prepared more than 600 tops, 400 of which were made of the batch of white cotton cloth, and most of them were sold.

This batch of goods alone has made a huge profit, and even if no one buys later, there will be no loss.

Besides, there are less than 200 pieces left, and she has to keep them and sell them slowly. She wants to hold on until the next autumn collection.

Moreover, when we say that business has been bad in the past few days, that is only compared with the first three days of opening. Relatively speaking, as long as we can open every day and sell one piece, it is good.

That day, Su Xin from the supply and marketing cooperative came over. She had previously asked Jiang Yue to order T-shirts, but was rejected by Jiang Yue. Later she found out that Jiang Yue had opened a store selling clothes.

"I heard from my dad that there was a self-employed business owner opening a shop in our county, and I was wondering who was so brave. I didn't expect it to be you, Jiang Yue!" Although Su Xin has a good business sense, she still disagrees with Jiang Yue's behavior of challenging the public business model.

Her father told her privately that Jiang Yue's shop would not last long because no one could go against the government.

However, Su Xin came here today to buy clothes. She asked someone to bring the children's clothes made by Jiang Yue to her aunt who works in the supply and marketing cooperative in the provincial capital. Her aunt said that they were sold out as soon as they were put up, and she kept urging her to help with more stock. She has come here to get stock twice already.
