They made a lot of money from their vegetable business.

Because you only need to produce seeds and then don't have to worry about them after planting. Just wait to harvest, batch after batch. As long as you don't take up space, they can stay fresh.

No need for fertilizer or manpower.

This is simply a lucrative business!

However, before the reform and opening up, individual businesses were not allowed. If one wanted to sell, one could only take it to the black market for the time being.

In the original book, Lu Yifan initially told Zhou Xiaohui not to sell it, but to exchange it for something else.

At first, Zhou Xiaohui did as Lu Yifan said and exchanged them for meat coupons and grain coupons.

After all, these tickets are very scarce in this era. Even if Lu Yifan is the battalion commander and has a lot of allowances and can get a lot of tickets every month, it is not enough, not to mention Lu Yifan and Zhou Xiaohui's families, there are two big families, those meat tickets are simply not enough, even if you have money you can't buy meat.

So at the beginning, Zhou Xiaohui used the high-quality vegetables grown in the space to exchange for tickets and got a lot of meat tickets in return.

Gradually, she began to feel dissatisfied, and went to the black market secretly without telling Lu Yifan. Of course, she didn't go there often, as it would be easy to be discovered. She usually went there at one time and brought a lot of vegetables, and asked someone to transport them. These vegetables would be transported to some nearby cities to be sold, and sales were very good.

Later, I even reached a long-term business cooperation agreement with a businessman.

Zhou Xiaohui not only wanted tickets, but also money. This was considered speculation and was not allowed in that era. However, perhaps because of the heroine's halo, no one discovered it, not even Lu Yifan knew about it.

She made money privately but didn't make it public. The food at home was better, and she sent a lot of meat to the elders and families on both sides. The gifts she gave to relatives during the New Year and other festivals were also very decent. As a result, the young couple had a very good reputation outside, and both families lived a happy life.

Lu Yifan treated all of this as if his wife had exchanged vegetables for meat tickets, or even directly for meat.

Later, when Zhou Xiaohui had more money, she started to dress up and often bought new clothes. When Lu Yifan asked her about it, she said that she bought relatively new second-hand clothes at the second-hand market, and sold them when she got tired of wearing them. A piece of clothing did not cost much money, so Lu Yifan believed it.

It was not until the formal reform and opening up that allowed individual businesses to do business that Zhou Xiaohui told Lu Yifan about this. Although Lu Yifan was annoyed that she did not comply with national regulations, he was a soldier after all and would not allow such a thing to happen. However, since reform and opening up had already begun and she was his wife, and she had taken the risk of trading on the black market and the money she earned improved the lives of both families, he did not blame her.

After that, the couple started a large-scale vegetable business, became rich and made a lot of money. They found that the housing prices had risen a lot in a few years, and the money was still depreciating. They could not spend the money they earned on their daily life, and were worried that the money would depreciate. So they simply bought a house to preserve the value of the money.

Unexpectedly, because of this action, he would become a wealthy man in the imperial capital in the future.

Thinking of this, Shen Youran decided to imitate Zhou Xiaohui's way of making money.

And the other side.

Because they had successfully divorced, Lu Yifan invited Zhou Xiaohui and his parents to his home that night to talk about their marriage.

The whole family sat together, with two or three main dishes and other food on the table.

Zhou Xiaohui's parents both felt that Lu Yifan's family was quite reasonable.

At first, they were quite bothered by the fact that Lu Yifan was divorced, as they felt that it would give him a bad reputation.

But Zhou Xiaohui has said several times that although Lu Yifan and Shen Youran have been married for several years, they have never been husband and wife, and they have no feelings for each other.

More importantly, if she missed Lu Yifan, it would be difficult to find such a man in the future.

It is not difficult to find an ordinary soldier to marry, but it is not easy to find a young one who has a high position and a high allowance.

In the end, Zhou's father and mother were successfully brainwashed by Zhou Xiaohui.

"Since everyone is here, I want to express my feelings to you all." Lu Yifan smiled and looked at Zhou Xiaohui tenderly, "Shen Zhaodi and I have divorced, and I want to marry Xiaohui. I asked you all to get together today just to talk about marriage."

Father Zhou and Lu Zhengyi drank some wine and asked under the influence of alcohol: "So what are your plans for the wedding? When will it be held?"

Zhou Xiaohui lowered her head and sat quietly beside him, looking well-behaved.

Lu Yifan thought about it and replied to Zhou's father, "It must be done well, but I think it will take some time before we can get the certificate and hold the wedding."

What?

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaohui looked up in disbelief, "Brother Yifan, why does it take so long?"

She deliberately mixed her voice, "I have waited for this day for a long time, why does it take so long, don't you want to be with me?"

When Lu Yifan saw her aggrieved look, he quickly came over to coax her, "Of course I want to be with you, but I'm also thinking about you. If I were to be with you right after my divorce, they would definitely point fingers at you."

"Why don't we set the time for three or four months later, so that it will be natural for us to be together, and other people won't say anything more. This is to protect your reputation." Lu Yifan also knew the destructive power of public opinion on a person, so this was the result of his consideration.

Zhou Xiaohui was quite anxious at first, but after hearing what Lu Yifan said, she suddenly fell silent.

That's right!

If she married him right after Lu Yifan's divorce, everyone would think that she was most likely a mistress, and her reputation would not be good if it got out.

She held Lu Yifan's hand in return, "Brother Yifan, you are very thoughtful. I will listen to you."

With Lu Yifan's words in front of them, the subsequent discussions went more smoothly.

After agreeing on the bride price and some specific details, both families talked calmly and nothing unusual happened.

Finally, we chose a good day four months later to get the marriage certificate and then hold the wedding.

When Zhou Xiaohui heard that the date for her and Lu Yifan's wedding had been set, she felt relieved and an expression of unstoppable joy hung on her face.

Yang Ju sat aside, glanced at Zhou Xiaohui, and a gleam of light appeared on her face.

She has her own plans.

After the discussion, both families were very happy. They stayed at Lu Zhengyi's house for a while before Zhou's father and mother took Zhou Xiaohui away.

Lu Yifan went out to see him off.

Zhou's father and mother left first, and Lu Yifan and Zhou Xiaohui followed behind, holding hands and looking very affectionate.

"Xiaohui," Lu Yifan suddenly stopped walking under the street light, turned around and looked at Zhou Xiaohui, holding her hands on his shoulders, her eyes full of affection, "Wait another four months, and we will be able to get married smoothly, and we will be able to live together. How can we have our own home and our own children?"

I like to be with the army, but I don't care about it. I don't care about it. I don't care about it.
