After leaving the house, Jiang Yue first took Yao Hua to the gatehouse.
Because she had just been there not long ago, the young soldiers in the gatehouse all recognized Jiang Yue, and they immediately came out when they saw her arrive.
"Hello, sister-in-law."
"Hello, could you please tell Jingnian for me that Yaohua and I are going out for a while, so please don't bring me lunch or dinner. Tell him not to worry about me, I will take good care of myself."
Jiang Yue hadn't planned to go out today if Yao Hua hadn't come. But since Yao Hua was here, she decided to take her to buy some clothes, then go home to bring back groceries in the afternoon to cook something delicious for Lu Jingnian.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I promise to relay your words to Battalion Commander Lu without missing a single one," the young soldier said in a loud voice.
Thank you.
Jiang Yue waved to the other party and left with Yao Hua.
When Jiang Yue was on her way home, she met several military wives who were returning from buying groceries. Jiang Yue asked them where they bought their groceries, and the military wives warmly told her that if she went out of the east gate of the military family building and walked straight ahead for about half an hour, she would reach the town where the groceries were sold.
There's also a bus station in the town, with buses running to the city and county seat every 40 to 50 minutes. Their town isn't far from the city; it only takes half an hour by bus.
Jiang Yue led Yao Hua out of the east gate and walked with her to the station.
Yao Hua was chubby and got tired after walking for a short while, but Jiang Yue told her to lose weight, and Yueyue also walked with her. Yao Hua gritted her teeth and didn't say she was tired, but when they got to the station, Yao Hua was exhausted.
Jiang Yue bought the tickets and took her on the bus. The bus would not depart for another ten minutes. Jiang Yue saw that Yao Hua was tired and thirsty. She remembered that there was a vegetable vendor next to the station entrance when she boarded the bus. Jiang Yue got off the bus and bought a few cucumbers.
When she returned, she even borrowed water from the station to wash the cucumbers.
There is no running water in the town yet; they use a manual water pump. Jiang Yue used one of these when she was a child at the orphanage, and it was quite convenient for her to use.
By the time she returned after washing the cucumbers, it was just time for the bus to depart.
Jiang Yue returned carrying the washed cucumbers and saw Yao Hua anxiously looking for her.
"Yao Hua, I'm here. The bus is about to leave, let's get on quickly."
Where did you go just now?
Yao Hua was so anxious she almost cried when she couldn't find Jiang Yue.
"I saw you were thirsty, and since there was no water to buy here, I went and bought some cucumbers." Jiang Yue gave the washed cucumbers to Yao Hua, then took one for herself and took a bite. "Delicious."
Food from eighty years ago was grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, so it tastes really good.
Yao Hua looked at the cucumber in her arms, then at Jiang Yue, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Why are you crying?
Jiang Yue couldn't stand seeing others cry, and in a moment of panic, she frantically said, "Yao Hua, don't cry. I promise I'll come back earlier next time, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Hua immediately hugged Jiang Yue, "Yueyue, how could you be so good to me, sob sob..."
"Silly girl, why are you thanking me? You're my sister. If I'm not good to you, who else should I be good to?"
Jiang Yue had given the handkerchief to Lu Jingnian, so she could only use her sleeve to wipe Yao Hua's tears.
...
In the office.
Not long after Lu Jingnian returned, the young soldier arrived.
"Battalion Commander Lu, your sister-in-law said she took your younger sister out and told you not to have anyone bring her lunch or dinner. She also said she would take good care of herself and that you don't need to worry."
"knew."
Lu Jingnian nodded expressionlessly. The unease and frustration she felt since returning home intensified. She wasn't coming back for lunch, and she didn't need to bring her dinner. Was she not planning to come back tonight either?
I told him this morning that I would stay home obediently.
How is this well-behaved?
She wanted to stay out all night on the second day after her wedding.
After the young soldier left, Lu Jingnian took off his coat and walked outside.
Where are you going?
Political Commissar Yu, who had just returned, looked at Lu Jingnian's retreating figure and asked.
"Training ground."
Lu Jingnian answered without turning his head.
Political Commissar Yu: "..." He was fine this morning, why is he so angry after coming back from home?
...
More than half an hour later.
Jiang Yue pulled Yao Hua out of the car and headed straight for the department store.
It's open now, and some individual businesses have started doing business, but it's just getting started, and there aren't many shops yet. If you want to buy things, you still have to go to the department store.
Upon entering the department store, Jiang Yue led Yao Hua straight to the women's clothing section. It wasn't easy to find clothes that were both oversized and attractive. The two spent more than half an hour browsing before finally finding a set that was reasonably nice.
One set of clothes wasn't enough for Yao Hua, and Jiang Yue wanted to buy more, but Yao Hua quickly stopped her.
"This set of clothes is enough for me for now. If you really don't like me wearing my old clothes, then we can go and get some fabric and I can make two sets myself."
I made many of your clothes, and you often compliment them on how well they look.
Yao Hua used to work in a garment factory and learned how to make clothes. The first thing Yao Hua did after learning how to make clothes was to make an outfit for Jiang Yue.
The red shirt Jiang Yue is wearing now was made by Yao Hua.
The workmanship is exquisite, and the style is the most popular one right now.
However, just a week ago, Yao Hua's stepfather's sister's child wanted to work in the garment factory, so her mother forced her to give up her job to her stepfather's sister's child.
Yao Hua, who had lost her job, happened to receive a letter from her father saying that he was sick and wanted her to go back to see him, so Yao Hua went back.
After returning home for a week, Yao Hua was surprised to hear the news of Jiang Yue and Lu Jingnian's marriage. Knowing that Jiang Yue did not like Lu Jingnian and fearing that something might happen to her, she dropped her luggage and went to find Jiang Yue.
"Yes, you can sew clothes. I remember we had a sewing machine at home."
"How about this, Yao Hua? We'll buy some fabric, I'll design the clothes, and you can make them. Then we'll set up a stall outside and see if we can sell them. If we don't, it's okay; we can make a few pieces first so we can wear them ourselves later."
Jiang Yue first needed to find some work for Yao Hua, otherwise, based on her memory of Yao Hua's mother's temper, if Yao Hua didn't earn money at home, she would definitely beat and scold her again, and might even quickly find Yao Hua a random partner to marry her off.
That woman is absolutely capable of doing something like that.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Yao Hua was quite talented at making clothes. When Jiang Yue asked her to make clothes to sell, Yao Hua agreed without hesitation, regardless of whether she would lose money.
"The two of them went to the fabric section on the first floor and bought several pieces of fabric."
Since it was their first time making this, the two didn't buy too many. They made a few pieces to test the waters, and if they sold well, they would make more.
Jiang Yue is a very good artist. Although she is not a fashion designer, she has seen many fashion shows at home and abroad. She can easily draw dozens of beautiful clothes in the future.
After buying clothes, Jiang Yue bought a lot of things for her family because she wanted to go home to visit them.
After leaving the department store, Jiang Yue had only ten yuan left of the forty yuan she had spent on candy.
At this moment, Jiang Yue felt particularly distressed about her 30 million.
