Chapter 323 Hao Hao's Howling
Gu Yihan smiled and said, "There's no need to go to the office. The shirt factory comes once a week to revise the design drafts."
Upon hearing this, Lu Huailin looked at his wife in surprise.
He gave a thumbs-up and praised loudly, "Wife, you're amazing! You found a job as soon as you arrived."
"Such an amazing person is actually my wife."
"How come I have such good taste? The wife I found is beautiful, gentle, and capable."
Gu Yihan rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "What, are you being all sweet-talking today?"
Lu Huailin chuckled as he got into bed and embraced Gu Yihan, whispering in her ear, "I'll apply it, you can try it."
After saying that, taking advantage of Hao Hao's inattention, he gently pecked his wife's fragrant lips.
...
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
From early summer to the depths of winter.
Aside from going to the service station to buy some daily necessities, Gu Yihan has spent the rest of her time at home these past few months.
As a result, very few people have ever seen Gu Yihan, and the military wives in the family compound are becoming increasingly curious about her.
Gu Jia
Fu Ling sat on the sofa, staring at Gu Yihan with shining eyes.
She exclaimed excitedly, "Xiao Han, do you know what? Our factory's orders for underwear and pajamas have caught up with our main export, shirts!"
"You're amazing."
As she said this, her cheeks flushed slightly, because the fabric could only cover the vital parts.
I don't know why those blue-eyed, white-skinned people across the way are so crazy about these shameless clothes.
Gu Yihan didn't think much of it and said with a smile, "Sister Ling, you're exaggerating. I'm not as amazing as you say."
Fu Ling shook her head, and couldn't help but admire, "You're really smart."
"Otherwise, how would you have thought of making the most money with the least amount of fabric?"
Upon hearing Fu Ling's words, Gu Yihan turned her head and awkwardly touched her nose. It was not something she could have imagined—making the most money with the least amount of fabric.
Rather, it was because she was too poor before, so poor that she was covered in polyester fiber from head to toe, with only the palm-sized crotch area of her underwear being pure cotton.
Therefore, they pay special attention to beautiful clothes, especially those made of silk and real silk fabrics that they cannot afford.
When I see beautiful, sexy lingerie and pajamas, I can't help but glance at them a few more times.
It got into my head without me even realizing it.
Fu Ling suddenly remembered her task for the day, and quickly took out 200 yuan from her handbag and stuffed it into Gu Yihan's hand.
"Xiao Han, this 200 yuan is a reward that the factory leaders unanimously decided to give you."
Gu Yihan didn't refuse and placed it on the table to the side with a smile.
Fu Ling was worried that Gu Yihan would think the reward was too small.
He reached out and took her hand, patted it gently, and explained in a soft voice, "Xiao Han, don't think it's too little. This is the highest reward the factory leaders could apply for for you."
"As you know, what's being emphasized now is collective interests, not individual interests. If we apply for too many things for you, the higher-ups will think we're profiting for personal gain."
Gu Yihan smiled and shook her head, saying, "Sister Ling, you're overthinking it."
She didn't care about such petty gains; what she cared about was the opportunity to do business and cooperate with shirt factories during the reform and opening up period.
Upon hearing this, Fu Ling felt relieved, realizing that she genuinely wanted to befriend Gu Yihan.
Putting aside Lu Huailin's background, Gu Yihan alone, with her long-term vision and composure, deserves her sincere treatment.
Family compound entrance
When Gu Yihan returned after dropping Fu Ling off, she noticed that there seemed to be many more people coming and going from the service station.
Everyone was well-dressed and had a beaming smile on their face.
Gu Yihan observed them, and they also observed Gu Yihan. When they saw the unfamiliar faces, they couldn't help but take a second look.
At that moment, a female colleague walked towards Gu Yihan with a smile.
He took the initiative to greet her: "Sister-in-law Gu".
Gu Yihan looked up at the fair-skinned, short-haired woman in a black wool coat and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
"Hello, Sister Gu. My name is Luo Bi, and my mother-in-law is Zhang Mei. We are neighbors."
Knowing that the other person was Zhang Mei's daughter-in-law, Gu Yihan felt a bit more favorably toward her.
After all, she had a good impression of Zhang Mei, and asked with a smile, "Are you going to buy something?"
Luo Bi shook her head and said, "My mother-in-law has already bought the things and gone back."
The two walked and talked, and people around them noticed that Luo Bi knew this woman.
He muttered to himself, "Is the woman chatting with Comrade Luo new?"
"I don't know her, but you see how well Political Commissar Shi's daughter-in-law treats her, she must be someone special."
This made the people around Gu Yihan think more highly of her, regardless of Luo Bi's identity as Zhao Xu's daughter-in-law.
She herself is a reporter for the Guangming Daily in the city, a well-known highly educated person.
The person who could make her take the initiative to talk to must have some kind of background or identity, and they immediately became curious about Gu Yihan's identity.
Many people speculated, "Could she be Commander Lu's wife?"
"That can't be right. Commander Lu's wife has been here for half a year, and I haven't seen her come out more than a few times."
"I guess he's too ugly to show his face in public."
Upon hearing this, Wu Meili, who was standing behind them, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her mouth. See, she's not the only one who likes to gossip about people behind their backs.
Others like it too, but she was just unlucky; she got caught while cricketing.
Luo Bi remembered Zhang Mei saying that Gu Yihan rarely went out, and then she thought about today's day.
He kindly reminded her, "Sister-in-law, today is the Winter Solstice. Have you bought meat to make dumplings?"
"winter solstice?"
"Yes, our custom for the Winter Solstice is to eat dumplings."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan nodded and said, "We have enough meat at home to make dumplings."
She knew it! There were so many people today; it turns out it's the Winter Solstice.
Back home
Gu Yihan quickly chopped the meat and kneaded the dough.
...
Wearing thick cotton pants, Hao Hao ran briskly along the road in the family compound, shouting "Ah ah..." incessantly.
Lu Huailin took a small twig and rhythmically whipped Hao Hao's buttocks with it, making "bang, bang" sounds.
Hao Hao quickly dodged with his short legs, letting out screams as he did so.
He Shengli almost couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. He was wearing thick cotton pants, so Lu Huailin didn't use much force when he hit him.
It doesn't hurt at all.
At this moment, Hao Hao was screaming and howling like a banshee; he felt that his buttocks must be swollen.
"Mommy, Mommy."
Hao Hao, like a little cannon, pounced on Gu Yihan and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Mom, Dad hit me!"
"I can't take it anymore, my butt hurts so much."
Gu Yihan caught Hao Hao, looked up at Lu Huailin who had a cold face, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"This kid's asking for trouble. He's so young, yet he dares to play with firecrackers!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan was startled and quickly asked, "Are you alright?"
After checking him thoroughly inside and out and finding no wounds, he asked in confusion, "Who gave you the firecrackers?"
Hao Hao sobbed and wiped away his tears: "It's Brother Zhao Hu."
Lu Huailin tightened his grip on the twig, gritting his teeth as he said, "Who told you to blow up the latrine!"
