Jiang Shiyue first went home and found the key hidden by the original owner at the bottom of the wooden box to open the door.

Chen Shanhe put his work clothes outside, found a broom and started cleaning.

This house is not far from the public toilet and its layout is similar to the one they live in now, with one bedroom and one living room.

Because the owner changed several times, the room was not dirty, with only a thin layer of dirt.

Jiang Shiyue took a rag and wiped the tables and chairs.

"Why did you buy so many work clothes?" Chen Shanhe asked.

"I didn't buy it." Jiang Shiyue shook her head, her hands moving non-stop, "I used it to pay off a debt."

I briefly talked about my connection with the garment factory.

Chen Shanhe's first words after hearing this were, "Don't go to that black market anymore." He paused and added, "If you absolutely must go, call me. That Fourth Master Qiao you mentioned is no pushover."

"Do you know him?"

Chen Shanhe shook his head. "I don't know him, but I've heard of him. What are you going to do with all those work clothes? I can help you find someone if you need me."

Jiang Shiyue was surprised, "You know someone who buys work clothes?"

"There are many comrades. They work in all kinds of fields after retiring from the army." Chen Shanhe said lightly.

Jiang Shiyue silently raised his thumb and suddenly remembered a sentence.

The two strongest relationships in the world: carrying guns together and experiencing youth together.

I'm really envious, these are all connections!

No matter what era, doing business is inseparable from connections.

Although she was envious, Jiang Shiyue rejected Chen Shanhe's kindness without hesitation, "Thank you! But I don't need it for now."

joke!

This was her first pot of gold.

How can I sell it at a low price?

Unless these clothes double in value in her hands, she is not a qualified investor.

Chen Shanhe didn't know much about business, but he knew that individuals were not allowed to run businesses these days. These work clothes were actually a hot potato.

But Jiang Shiyue didn't seem to think so.

"Then what do you plan to do?" Chen Shanhe asked.

Jiang Shiyue looked at Chen Shanhe in confusion, "When did you start caring about me so much?"

Not like Chen Shanhe's style.

Chen Shanhe pursed his lips and said nothing.

Jiang Shiyue found the answer herself: "Oh, are you afraid that I will violate the rules and implicate you? Don't worry, who would want to cross a narrow-plank bridge when they can take the broad road? I will definitely abide by the rules."

Certain existing economic-related rules are excluded.

Chen Shanhe opened his mouth.

Jiang Shiyue, who was bending over to wipe the table, didn't notice and continued, "I plan to do some good deeds and earn some pocket money with my sisters-in-law."

The compound is located in a remote area and is difficult to enter and exit. The sisters-in-law who come to join the army basically stay at home full-time to take care of their husbands and children.

It’s okay for those with younger children. Three or five military wives get together, take their kids for a walk in the yard, and chat, so time passes faster.

For sisters-in-law like Wang Hong who don't have children yet, or whose children have grown up and no longer need close care, life in the staff quarters is both beautiful and difficult.

The beauty lies in having nothing to do all day. If I'm happy, I cook a meal; if I'm not, I eat in the cafeteria. If I have a minor illness or disaster, there's a clinic in the compound where you can get medical treatment and medicine for free.

When I have nothing to do, I visit and chat.

A leisurely life is better than that of most poor people.

But the family compound is so small, and there are only about a dozen or so permanent sisters-in-law.

Occasionally, a sister-in-law who comes to visit will immediately attract onlookers like a rare animal in a zoo.

Everyone likes to chat with the sister-in-law who comes to visit and ask about the outside world.

It may not sound nice to say that you are looking at the world from a narrow perspective, but after staying in the family compound for a long time, you do feel a bit isolated from the world.

Every day from the moment they open their eyes to the moment they close them, the sisters-in-law see the same few people over and over again, and they talk about trivial things that only you, I, and everyone know.

Sisters-in-law who don’t have children are even more miserable. Not only can they not talk about children, they can’t even talk about men either.

Their men's jobs are special and often involve confidentiality, so a few words of conversation will lead to a dead end.

In the past, the biggest fun for the sisters-in-law every day was watching Jiang Shiyue and Zhang Sufen having fun.

No matter how annoying it is, life is never boring.

With Jiang Shiyue, a "conceited hottie", around, at least the sisters-in-law can know exactly what styles of clothes and what kind of fabrics are popular outside.

However, for more than two months, Jiang Shiyue went to the city to make a living.

There was a big fuss as soon as he came back.

They watched the fun and ate the meat, but everyone also noticed that Jiang Shiyue was getting further and further away from them.

They are not on the same path at all.

It’s like all the students in the same class hate a naughty student, but suddenly one day, this student stops being naughty.

Before anyone could react, they discovered that this poor student had become the number one student in the school and was more than 100 points behind the second place.

Zhang Sufen was the only one left in the family compound. Because of Zhang Cui's matter, she was severely criticized by her husband and sent back to her hometown.

And there are sisters Zhang Yan.

Zhang Cui was fired and sent back home, and the grocery store was replaced by a disabled veteran.

Zhang Yan had a fight with her husband over this and went back to her parents' home in anger and hasn't returned yet.

The sisters-in-law's lives became increasingly dull.

Gradually, the friction between them began to increase.

No one is perfect, and no gold is pure.

In the past, Jiang Shiyue and Zhang Sufen attracted the attention, and everyone was united against the outside world.

Now we can only consume internal energy.

Even though the two public hazards in the compound were corrected and everyone returned home and left, the atmosphere in the family compound did not become harmonious but rather a little subtle.

The sisters-in-law were unhappy in the family compound, and when they saw their husbands, they either took their anger out on them or complained.

This makes the man feel depressed after working all day.

The sisters-in-law have little affection for each other, but the men are friends who are willing to die for each other.

They won't go to each other's men to complain about their friction.

But after a while, comrades who are together every day will feel a little embarrassed because of conflicts with their wives.

Chen Shanhe and Xu Rushan had been worried about this recently. When they heard Jiang Shiyue's words, they stopped sweeping the floor and said on the spot: "What do you want to do? I will definitely support you."

It doesn’t matter whether you make money or not, as long as my sisters-in-law have something to do and don’t have to mess around in the family compound.

Jiang Shiyue shrugged, "I didn't do anything, I just asked them to help me alter my clothes."

Chen Shanhe's eyes fell on the bundles of clothes outside the door. "How long will it take to alter more than 800 sets of clothes?"

"Then it depends on their efficiency." Jiang Shiyue spread her hands and looked back at Chen Shanhe in confusion, "Why are you suddenly concerned about this?"

Chen Shanhe is not the kind of person who pays New Year's greetings to chickens, but he definitely has other intentions.

Chen Shanhe clenched his fist to his lips and coughed lightly a few times, then turned his head uncomfortably to avoid Jiang Shiyue's sight.

"Come to think of it, there's something I need your help with." Jiang Shiyue suddenly remembered something and asked Chen Shanhe, "Last time we switched rooms, I accidentally saw your notebook. Can you draw a design?"

Chen Shanhe: “…”

He broke Jiang Shiyue's fantasy, no, delusion, with an expressionless face, "I can't draw clothing designs."

Jiang Shiyue waved her hand. "Almost. They are all design drawings."
