Chapter 73 Waiting for what is about to happen
Hearing the sourness in Lai Yunlong's words, Lu Qinchuan stopped talking and asked him, "Since you have known Xiaohua for so long, when are you going to file for marriage registration?"
"Marry, huh." Lai Yunlong chuckled. "I don't have a house or a piece of land. If she marries me now, she will suffer."
"As long as you two are in love, I'll find a way to solve the house issue for you." Lu Qinchuan took a few deep puffs of the cigarette butt, threw it on the ground and stomped on it hard.
Perhaps this sentence stung Lai Yunlong's pride. His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "I will rely on my efforts to make Xiaohua live a good life. You don't have to worry about it."
Lai Yunlong was a writer. Lu Qinchuan had always mocked him for being sour all day long. He didn't expect that his well-intentioned words would really hurt him. He nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you. You are all my close friends. If there are any difficulties, we can solve them together."
This was considered a tactful way to resolve the awkwardness. The two of them smoked another cigarette each, and Lai Yunlong finally stood up. "There's a propaganda officer in the military region who is quite satisfied with the article I wrote. He wants to talk to me tomorrow. I'd like you to go with me to help keep things in good shape."
It went without saying that Lai Yunlong was paving the way for himself, so Lu Qinchuan agreed without a second thought: "Okay, you write well, and sooner or later someone will recognize your talent."
"Well, tomorrow at 11:00 am on the second floor of the State-owned Hotel, don't forget."
Lai Yunlong was annoyed by Zhou Ruoyu's presence, so he didn't even enter the house. He turned around and walked out.
Nothing happened that night. The next day, Lu Qinchuan went to work at the battalion headquarters as usual. Before leaving, he specifically said, "Don't bring me lunch today. I have something to do and I'm going out to eat."
"okay."
Zhou Ruoyu readily agreed and the two parted ways.
On the first day of school, Daya specially carried her new schoolbag and walked around her yard. After receiving praise from Zhou Ruoyu, she happily got on Captain Zhu's bicycle and went to school.
Looking at Daya's happy face, Zhou Ruoyu breathed a sigh of relief. She hoped that this time Daya's childhood would be long and filled with happiness and love.
As the weather turned colder, sales of dresses were limited, so she bent over the table and designed several straight-leg pants and tweed cropped tops.
Although it was a bit ahead of its time, based on her interactions with these military wives, she realized that they were all women, had the same understanding of beauty, and had long been tired of the uniform military green and blue attire. As time progressed, a pursuit of beauty was gradually emerging in them.
Li Ming had no doubt about Zhou Ruoyu's pursuit of clothing. He pointed to one of the straight-leg pants and said, "This type of straight-leg pants is quite popular in Beijing, and yours shows off your figure better. Once it goes on the market, it will definitely be a big hit.
I'm afraid that the abilities of those military wives won't be enough to meet my needs. Can you add more people?"
Zhou Ruoyu shook her head firmly. "Now that the policies are becoming more relaxed, more and more people will definitely join this industry. I want to firmly establish the military wife production model, ensure quality and quantity, and create a unique brand, rather than winning by quantity."
"Comrade Zhou, your ideas are quite advanced, but I also think there's a lot of room for improvement. Policies are indeed getting better and better, and I feel it won't be long before the country opens up these policies. Too many rules and regulations will actually restrict development."
In this regard, Zhou Ruoyu felt that she and Li Ming were a match made in heaven. Li Ming seemed to be born with a keen business sense, and his interpretation of policies was very much in line with the trend of the times. Therefore, it would be unjust if someone like him did not make money.
Li Ming smiled brightly. "Let's make this style of straight pants first. I'm going to Luancheng to buy the fabric now. You can come pick it up tomorrow."
It was impossible for him to appear openly in the military area. It would be too conspicuous and easy to cause trouble. Zhou Ruoyu herself was not afraid, but she was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble for Lu Qinchuan.
"No rush, I have something that needs your help right now." Zhou Yuruo said.
Li Ming looked at her with a questioning look, and Zhou Ruoyu smiled and said, "Don't think I'm asking you for help to investigate an affair. An old friend wants to see me, but because he's a man, in order to avoid causing trouble for my old man, Mr. Lu, I'm asking you two to help him go."
Gao Feng, who was standing guard at the door, laughed and said, "Comrade Zhou, you are also meeting two men now."
"Although we are both men, we are after different things. You are after money, but I don't know what he is after."
The two smiled at each other, understood, and agreed readily.
First, this lady didn't treat them as men, and second, she didn't treat them as enemies. That's good. If you want to cooperate, you must have a cooperative attitude!
The military guesthouse is only three alleys away from the supply and marketing cooperative, very close.
She first went to the front desk and found the waiter. She said, "I am the wife of Lu Qinchuan of the Independent Regiment. My last name is Zhou. There is a man named Gu from his hometown who lives here. I came to visit him on behalf of Comrade Lu Qinchuan."
Who doesn’t know Lu Qinchuan!
That was a well-known figure in the entire military region. Looking at the beautiful female comrade in front of him, the front desk clerk was convinced. At least this female comrade was worthy of Lu Qinchuan in terms of appearance.
"Oh, hello." Xiao Chen, the front desk clerk, greeted him hurriedly and warmly. "I wonder what the name of Captain Lu's guest is? I'll tell you the room number."
It is really useful to have Lu Qinchuan as a big supporter. At least I am highly respected here.
Zhou Ruoyu smiled politely and said, "Call Gu Changhong. You can ask him to come down. I'll be waiting for him in the lobby."
Another waiter immediately turned around and went upstairs to find Gu Changhong.
Gu Changhong asked someone to clean the room early in the morning, took a shower, changed into new clothes, and looked fresh and sunny.
When the waiter knocked on the door, his heart even trembled.
That was the little fish he thought about day and night. He didn't dare to ask for more, and he really just wanted to see her again, even if it was just to say goodbye.
With slightly sweaty palms, he opened the door, only to be greeted by a small waiter with a round face and freckles.
"Comrade Gu, the wife of Independent Battalion Commander Lu Qinchuan is here to see you. She's waiting for you in the lobby."
Lu Qinchuan's lover? This word was too hurtful. Gu Changhong instinctively frowned: "Lu Qinchuan's lover?"
The waiter blinked and looked at him as if he were a monster: "Yes, a very beautiful woman, her last name is Zhou."
Realizing that he had lost his composure, Gu Changhong quickly collected himself and regained his composure.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pack up and go down right away."
Then he put on his coat and prepared to leave the room. Since he expected to come back later, he did not take the key with him. Instead, he closed the door gently and followed the waiter downstairs.
The lobby of the guesthouse is spacious and bright, with a simple and elegant layout.
Zhou Ruoyu chose a large sofa in the corner and sat down. She ordered a few cups of tea. Li Ming and Gao Feng sat next to her.
The whole environment was quiet and peaceful, as if time had stopped and everyone was quietly waiting for what was about to happen.
