When Yan Shun returned home, Xiao Liu from the cooking team was anxiously pacing outside, glancing inside from time to time.
It was obvious that the army wives hadn’t left yet.
Lin Fan displayed the clothes she had prepared in advance. “We have as many styles as there are items on display. You can choose whichever you like. The deposit is only 30 percent of the total price, selling at 10 yuan each. In other words, those who want to pre-order need to pay 3 yuan as a deposit first, and then write down your address, height, and weight… Once the clothes are ready, I will deliver them to your door!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd began discussing among themselves.
However, the most popular items were the ones in stock; they were quickly sold out within a few minutes. One person bought three pieces at once, which caught Lin Fan’s attention.
She recognized her as Tong Jing, the wife of Yu Nian, who was at the same rank as Yan Shun. Her family background was decent, so she certainly had the money to buy clothes.
However, what really caught Lin Fan’s attention was the three styles she bought. Two of them did not suit her body shape. Of course, it couldn’t be ruled out that Tong Jing couldn’t judge them properly herself, but… who would buy clothes that did not fit?
Lin Fan kept her suspicions to herself and calmly attended to other customers.
Soon, everyone formed a line, curling into a circle in the narrow space. Lin Fan and Ning Yan stood in the middle. The low-wattage light bulbs were still dim, but compared to the days when there was no electricity and they had to use candles, it was much better.
There was an upright sign on the table that read: Deposit, 3 yuan.
“Xiao Fang, height 160, weight 110…”
Ning Yan helped measure the customers’ three sizes, and the customers themselves stated their height, weight, and preferred style. Then they placed the money in a cardboard box on the table and left with smiles on their faces.
Some customers who came together were still discussing with smiles on their faces before leaving. “I feel like the first eight pieces were the most beautiful. It’s a pity we didn’t get them.”
“No problem, being able to buy clothes that are prettier and cheaper than the ones in the mall for 10 yuan is already great. Besides, the service here is good, and they even deliver to your door.”
“You’re right. I admit I raised my voice at her before, but from now on, if anyone says anything bad about Lin Fan, I’ll be the first to disagree!”
Their conversation fell into the ears of Yan Shun and Xiao Liu as they passed by.
Xiao Liu took a deep drag from his cigarette, smirking. “Captain, looks like Sister-in-law is quite popular.”
Popular enough that he had been squatting here for almost an hour, and only a dozen or so people had come out.
“That’s unexpected,” Yan Shun said, gazing at the moon in the sky, heaved a heavy sigh. It was the first time he could not enter his own home; he was probably the first person that had happened to.
Finally, when the last person came out, Yan Shun could not wait to go inside, and Xiao Liu quickly stubbed out his cigarette, stomping on it a couple of times before following suit.
Lin Fan rubbed his sore shoulders and immediately opened the cardboard box to count the money.
“Finally done. Lin Fan, I’m going back to rest. If you need help later, just find me.”
Although they were watching Lin Fan count the money they earned together, she did not feel a bit jealous. She said this and was about to leave.
“Wait, Sister Ning Yan!”
Lin Fan counted quickly, and by the time Ning Yan finished speaking, the money scattered in the box had turned into neat stacks.
She counted 27 yuan from it and walked up to Ning Yan. “Sister Ning Yan, thank you for helping me so late tonight. Take this money for now. I’ll explain why tomorrow. Go home and get some rest.”
“Huh?” Ning Yan was surprised, not understanding Lin Fan’s intentions. She would only find out the next day. Right away, she pushed the money back. “Let’s talk about this tomorrow. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease taking this money.”
After a moment of thought, Lin Fan agreed. “Alright!”
Yan Shun and Ning Yan happened to pass each other. He looked at the busy figure inside and said with concern, “You’ve worked hard all day. Let’s talk about whatever it is tomorrow.”
“Sister-in-law! I’m from the kitchen team… Mmm!”
Xiao Liu suddenly popped out from behind Yan Shun, his eyes shining. He was cut off mid-sentence when Yan Shun covered his mouth.
