Jiang Yue didn't know that several people in the Jiang family had already arranged Gu Ye's salary for next year.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather gradually became hotter. Jiang Yue bought groceries and cooked every day. In her spare time, she made various delicacies, read books, painted, and designed clothes. Her life was quite fulfilling.
But when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she always felt uneasy and would subconsciously wonder where Gu Ye was and what he was doing.
During the day, Jiang Yue would find things to do to keep herself busy so that she wouldn't think about Gu Ye.
If there is anything big that Jiang Yue has done recently, it is that she bought a batch of bricks and cement, and built a bathroom in the yard. She hung a custom-made iron bathtub on the wall, and water flowed out from a simple shower head, making it convenient to wash her hair and take a bath.
It was just that Jiang Yue wasn't strong enough. She couldn't even lift the tin bucket full of water, let alone hang it on the wall.
So Jiang Yue built a few steps in the bathroom, so that people wouldn't have to take down the tin bucket every time. They could just pick up the kettle and walk up the steps to fill it with water.
This is much more convenient, and you can also put things on the steps, killing two birds with one stone.
Jiang Yue didn't buy any tiles, so she only used cement to cover the walls and floor of the bathroom, which looked very simple and gray.
On the day the bathroom was completed, Mrs. Zhao brought Zhao Cui and Zhao Yuanqi to visit, and Zhao Yuanqi insisted on going home to build one too.
"It's so convenient to take a shower here. The water comes out from this shower head. It feels itchy and comfortable." Sister Zhao was also tempted.
"Sister-in-law, has Rongrong rented a house?" Jiang Yue lifted the bamboo curtain of the bathroom to ventilate the inside, while asking about Lian Rongrong's recent situation.
Lian Rongrong came to Jiang Yue before, wanting Gu Ye to help her get a back door from the division commander to let her join the army. However, before Jiang Yue had the chance to ask Gu Ye, Gu Ye went out on a mission.
Later, the logistics department urged Lian Rongrong to vacate the room several times, but Lian Rongrong didn't want to move and cried to Mrs. Zhao and Jiang Yue every day.
This was the military regulation, and Jiang Yue and Mrs. Zhao had no choice. In the end, it was Captain Zhao who made the call and asked them to wait until after the Dragon Boat Festival.
Just before the Dragon Boat Festival, Lian Rongrong and Wang Weixu went to the town to rent a house, but they were not satisfied after looking at many houses.
So Jiang Yue suggested that Lian Rongrong just rent a house in the county town. The distance between the army and the town is about the same as that to the county town, and the county town is better than the town anyway.
"Well, I saw her just now. She said she has rented a house near the vegetable market with a small yard. The rent is not cheap, however. It's three dollars and fifty cents a month." Mrs. Zhao said.
"Live here first, and then change when I find a suitable and cheap one!" Jiang Yue has also been looking for a house recently, but she is not going to live there, but rent one to open a store.
Just the day before yesterday, He Jingxuan once again brought good news to Jiang Yue that she could apply for a business license.
This morning, Jiang Yue and He Jingxuan went to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to inquire about the required procedures. Since the Bureau had not issued such a business license for many years, the staff were not very clear about it. They said they had to ask their superiors and asked Jiang Yue to go back and wait for news.
"It's okay, just wait, good things come to those who wait!" This is what Jiang Yue said to He Jingxuan at that time.
Since He Jingxuan was transferred to the Commerce Bureau, his work has been much busier than when he was at the Cultural Center. However, he is very concerned about Jiang Yue's affairs. When Jiang Yue wanted to open a store, he ran around to help her.
Another half month passed and it was the end of June.
Jiang Yue goes to the Industry and Commerce Bureau every two days. When he went again today, the staff said that they were already going through the procedures and the business license should be issued soon.
The address for the store had already been found. It was just across the street from the department store, with two storefronts facing the street. The monthly rent was six yuan. Jiang Yue paid three months' rent, wrote a contract with the landlord, and signed and put his fingerprints on it.
During this period, Lian Rongrong and Mrs. Zhao worked overtime to help make clothes, and the defective cotton cloth that Jiang Yue bought at a very low price has all been made into children's clothing.
"Jiang Yue, can you really sell all the clothes you make?" In the evening, Mrs. Zhao came over and watched Jiang Yue pull open the curtain in the corner. She had built a rack there to hang clothes, and it was already full.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law! I know what's going on!"
This batch of cotton cloth was picked up at a very low price. Apart from the one dollar wage for hiring Mrs. Zhao and Lian Rongrong to make the clothes, there was almost no cost. As long as Jiang Yue could sell the clothes, he would make a profit.
Of course Jiang Yue was prepared for failure, but it didn’t matter, everything had just begun and there were still many opportunities to try and fail.
Mrs. Zhao knew that Jiang Yue was a person with her own ideas, so she didn't say anything more. She naturally hoped that Jiang Yue could succeed, but she had also thought that if Jiang Yue couldn't sell this batch of clothes, she would return the wages to Jiang Yue and regard it as voluntary help.
Jiang Yue didn't know that Sister Zhao was more worried about her business failure than she was.
It has been almost a month since Gu Ye left, and there has been no news so far. Jiang Yue is busy every day and doesn't think about it, but she starts to feel anxious as soon as she has free time.
"Sister-in-law, does Captain Zhao have any news about Gu Ye?"
"I haven't heard him talk about it. I'll go back and ask him." Seeing Jiang Yue's worried expression, Zhao's wife patted Jiang Yue's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, Lao Zhao said Gu Ye is very capable, he will definitely come back safely!"
"Yeah!" Jiang Yue was still very confident in Gu Ye. After all, he was the male lead and he had the aura of the male lead.
After seeing Mrs. Zhao off, Jiang Yue read for a while. Ningning took a bath and fell asleep on the bed soon.
Although the weather was hot, the room was not hot because of the osmanthus tree in the front yard and the bamboo outside the back window. When sleeping at night, Jiang Yue opened the front and back windows to let in the cool breeze, without turning on the electric fan.
This old-style tiled house is warm in winter and cool in summer, making it very comfortable to live in.
For some reason, Jiang Yue felt a little uneasy tonight. She read for a long time without turning the pages, and her eyelids became heavier and heavier.
Suddenly, Jiang Yue saw a familiar figure wearing a combat helmet and a green military uniform that almost blended into the dense forest.
It’s Gu Ye!
Jiang Yue saw Gu Ye as agile as a cheetah. He was walking through the dense forest with a gun in his hand, his eyes alert, as if he was surveying the terrain.
Suddenly, Jiang Yue's heart tightened. She looked up and saw a black muzzle of a gun sticking out from the woods not far away, aiming at Gu Ye.
"Gu Ye, be careful!" Jiang Yue was nervous and shouted subconsciously, then the world spun in front of her eyes and she woke up suddenly.
She covered her chest and felt her heart beating like a drum, her throat was blocked, and her temples were throbbing violently.
What's going on?
Jiang Yue's eyes were bloodshot. She looked around. It was still the familiar environment of her bedroom. There were frog sounds and insect chirping outside the window. It was quiet and safe. It was not the dangerous dense forest she had just seen.
Jiang Yue lowered her head and found that the pages of the book were wrinkled. So, she just fell asleep on the table and had a dream?
But why was this dream so real? It was as if she had really seen Gu Ye, and was also in that dense forest, and her heartbeat had not yet calmed down.
At that time, in a dense forest on the border of Southern Province, Gu Ye was leading a small team of soldiers on a mission.
