Chapter 26

Afterwards, Gu Zhenxi thought about Bai Ruanruan again. She must have gone to the Youth League Office to cross out her name this time, and she couldn’t help but feel very sorry.

She couldn’t help but think in her heart, if she exposed Bai Ruanruan’s true face at Bai Ruanruan’s wedding and let Bai Ruanruan’s husband know that she had been having an affair with another man behind his back, would that make that man divorce Bai Ruanruan?

After all, although a military marriage is difficult to divorce, it is not impossible to divorce.

If Bai Ruanruan is the party at fault, the other party can divorce her, and if they divorce because of such a thing, Bai Ruanruan’s reputation will be completely ruined.

Nowadays, no one would want a woman who is a slut, whether it is getting married or looking for a job.

If you have problems with your personal conduct, people will criticize you no matter where you go!

By that time, when Bai Ruanruan is abandoned by her man and stays at home waiting for the next batch of educated youth to go to the countryside, she will find an opportunity to sign up for Bai Ruanruan, and Bai Ruanruan will still have to go to the countryside!

By then, those soft white jewelry suitable for young girls will still belong to you!

Thinking of this, Gu Zhenxi was extremely happy.

At this moment, Bai Ruanruan, who had just returned home, was already planning her next work in her mind.

The military wife’s work was not restricted. She had thought before that since there had been no reform and opening up, she could not open her own shop and do business, and the fruits in the space would be difficult to sell.

But then I suddenly remembered that the military compound allows military wives to run their own small businesses there. After all, the compound is mostly self-sufficient.

It could ask Zhou Hongyu to help it find a way to open a fruit stand. Those who could live in the military compound were all soldiers of relatively high positions, and their salaries were generally decent in that era.

As long as there are not too many children at home, they should all be able to afford fruit.

Moreover, the fruits she grows in the space have very low cost, grow quickly, taste good, and are cheap, so they should be able to be sold.

We can save some money this year, and when the reform and opening up comes, we can let my mother quit her job in the state-owned restaurant and open a shop or a restaurant on her own.

After having this idea in mind, Bai Ruanruan entered the space, checked the other seeds in the mobile farm, wrote down all the planting cycles of the seeds on paper, compared them with the time when these fruits mature in reality, and prepared to sell the fruits when they are ripe in the future.

When the seeds were turned over, Bai Ruanruan discovered that there were vegetable seeds underneath. In that time, she could not only sell fruits, but also vegetables.

The sales of vegetables should be better than those of fruits, after all, they are necessary for daily meals.

After calculating everything, she took out a watermelon from the space. It was almost time for her parents to get home from get off work, so Bai Ruanruan took out the ingredients from the refrigerator and started cooking in the kitchen.

She had just finished cooking when her parents came home from get off work. After the family of three had dinner, Bai Ruanruan took out a watermelon from the refrigerator, cut it into small pieces, and put it in a bowl for her parents to eat.

After eating it, Bai Gaohan was a little surprised. Thinking of the watermelon he had eaten before, he couldn’t help asking, “Ruanruan, where did you buy this watermelon? It’s almost October, how come there are still such sweet watermelons?”

Fu Shiting was also surprised after eating it. “Yes, the watermelon you bought last time was very sweet. I forgot to ask you where you bought it. It’s almost October now, and there are still such delicious watermelons?”

Usually the watermelons at this time are the leftovers from the summer, and are either too old or not sweet. When the couple first saw Bai Ruanruan take out this watermelon, they thought she had bought some cheap fruit, but they didn’t expect it to be so delicious.

Bai Ruanruan’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly made an excuse: “I bought this watermelon when I went out today. I saw an old man selling watermelons at a stall, so I bought one to try at home. The old man said his watermelons were sweet, but I didn’t believe him. I just couldn’t bear to see him selling them alone, so I bought one so he could sell them and go home earlier. Who knew it was so sweet.”

My parents didn’t doubt his statement.

Fu Shiting said, “Go out tomorrow. If you still see that old man selling watermelons, buy a few more. Keep one at home and give the rest to Xiao Zhou. After all, they are in-laws. You can also give some to your mother-in-law and father-in-law.”

Bai Ruanruan thought it made sense. There were so many watermelons in the space anyway, and she would set up a fruit stall after she joined the army, which would be either the end of October or the beginning of November. It would be difficult to sell the watermelons at that time because people would think that the watermelons were not tasty and would not buy them. This batch of watermelons in the space would probably have to wait until next year to be sold, so it would be better to give some away for others to eat.

She agreed immediately, “Okay, Mom.”

The next night, Bai Ruanruan called Zhou Hongyu during dinner time. The first person to answer the phone was Zhou Hongyu’s mother. When she found out it was her, she let Zhou Hongyu answer the phone.

“I bought a few watermelons here, but there are too few people at home and we can’t finish them. Why don’t you take two back?”

Zhou Hongyu was puzzled. “Watermelon? Is anyone still selling watermelons now?”

Bai Ruanruan felt a little guilty and said, “Yes, and it tastes pretty good. My parents and I tried it and thought it was delicious, so we wanted to take it away for you and let your uncle and aunt try it. Are you free to come and get it?”

“Yes, I’ll go now.”

The phone bill was very expensive at that time, so the two of them didn’t dare to talk on the phone for too long and soon hung up.

Zhou Hongyu drove here directly. Bai Ruanruan thought it was a waste of fuel and said, “I’m only giving you two watermelons, and you drove here directly? How wasteful is that?”

“It’s not easy to ride a bicycle.” Zhou Hongyu said.

Bai Ruanruan felt a little regretful. She should have moved a dozen watermelons out of the space so as not to trouble him to drive over.

Zhou Hongyu followed Bai Ruanruan into her house, and when he saw Bai Gaohan and Fu Shiting, he smiled and greeted them, “Dad, Mom, good evening.”

Although the two have not held their wedding yet, they have already obtained their marriage certificate, and Zhou Hongyu followed Bai Ruanruan in calling out.

“Hey! Xiao Zhou, come and get the watermelons. They’re over in the kitchen. The two watermelons are big and heavy, and they’re too soft to carry. You have to take them down yourself.”

“Okay.” Zhou Hongyu responded, a little confused about how big and heavy it was.

Logically speaking, even if the watermelon at this time is delicious, it shouldn’t be very big, right?

However, when he followed Bai Ruanruan into the kitchen and saw the two big melons on the kitchen table, there was a moment of silence.

This watermelon is bigger than any he has ever seen before!

Large watermelons can easily grow into an oval shape, but this one is large and round.

With his wife’s small body, she definitely can’t lift it!

Zhou Hongyu stepped forward consciously, taking a melon in each hand. Bai Ruanruan followed behind him and asked, “How about I help you get one?”

“No need. It’s too heavy and you definitely can’t lift it. I can do it myself.” With that, Zhou Hongyu walked downstairs.

Bai Ruanruan followed him downstairs and saw him put the watermelon on the back seat of the car and take out a bag from the back seat.

Bai Ruanruan looked down and saw a big bag of pears. “I almost forgot. We have to send this to our parents. I will take you upstairs as well.”

“I can take it myself.” Bai Ruanruan took the bag of pears and thought to herself that she still had many pear trees planted in her space. This husband-in-law sent her another bag of pears, which was too much.

Zhou Hongyu looked at her in her home clothes, and he was a little eager to do something. He said, “Wife, I’m off this Sunday. Can we go to a movie?”

Bai Ruanruan raised an eyebrow, “Watch a movie? What movie?”
