1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 555 Unexpectedly, the two of them fell in love at first sight.
As Chu Xue put things down, she retorted, "Do you know something?"

Ji Kunlan beckoned to her: "My brother-in-law came back to visit his family. Yesterday, the two families went to a state-run restaurant together for dinner. Unexpectedly, we ran into Rui Rui, so we invited her to join us."

She paused deliberately, wanting to pique Chuxue's curiosity.

Chu Xue said, "Then you became the matchmaker and tied her up with a red thread."

Ji Kunlan sat up straight abruptly: "You ran into them when you came back?"

Chu Xue picked up her thermos and poured some water into the basin, then wet a towel and wiped her face: "Well, as soon as I got off the bus, I saw Rui Rui from afar, but there was a man standing next to her, so I didn't go up to bother her."

Ji Kunlan perked up: "That man is my second sister-in-law's youngest brother, named Xiao Wanpeng. He works at the Municipal Grain Bureau. I originally wanted to match them up, but I didn't expect that they would fall in love at first sight."

Chu Xue looked on in surprise: "Really?"

Ji Kunlan got out of bed and looked downstairs: "That's right, look how long it's been, and they still haven't come up."

Chu Xue laughed: "Since you've fallen in love at first sight, who knows, it might not be long before something good happens."

Ji Kunlan nodded: "Very likely. After all, my second sister-in-law's mother has been looking for a lot of matchmakers recently, hoping to get her youngest son married as soon as possible. But before she could even get any news, Xiao Wanpeng found someone on his own."

Chu Xue didn't say anything more. After all, she didn't know anything about the Xiao family or Xiao Wanpeng. However, she just hoped that Duan Ruirui was doing well.

After finishing talking about Duan Ruirui, Ji Kunlan suddenly remembered: "Oh right, didn't you go to the army to find your fiancé?"

“He didn’t have a day off today. After lunch, he helped me get familiar with the military base. I returned early in the afternoon so that he wouldn’t have to take care of me, which would affect his work.”

Ji Kunlan gave Chu Xue a thumbs up: "Being a military wife is really not easy. My second sister-in-law has been taking care of the children alone at home for the past few years. If it weren't for her mother looking after the children, she wouldn't even be able to go to work." As the two were talking, Duan Ruirui hurriedly pushed open the door, but she didn't expect Chu Xue to be back as well: "Sigh, I've been at the factory gate the whole time. Why didn't I see you come back?"

Chu Xue teased, "Now, do you even care about me anymore?"

Duan Ruirui immediately understood and reached out to tickle Chu Xue.

Chu Xue is quite skilled, but her weakness is that she has a lot of ticklish spots.

The dormitory was filled with laughter and chatter for a moment.

After they calmed down, Ji Kunlan said, "When I came back, I ran into Zhao Lulu. She committed such a serious crime, how come she was released so quickly?"

Upon hearing that it was about Zhao Lulu, Chu Xue perked up her ears. Thinking that the girl was very likely her cousin, she couldn't help but worry about her.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Duan Ruirui stood up and asked, "Who is it?"

Before she even reached the door, it was pushed open, and Ning Xiaoyu poked her head in: "I'm back."

Duan Ruirui waved to her: "Come in quickly."

Ning Xiaoyu was still carrying some things in her hands: "Wait a moment, I'll put my things back in the dorm first. Rui Rui, can you open the door for me? I left my key in the dorm."

Duan Ruirui quickened her pace, but her words were still sharp: "How old are you? You're still so forgetful. Why didn't you leave yourself at home? Luckily I came back. What would you have done tonight if something had happened at home and I didn't get back until tomorrow morning?"
