A few days later, there were still two days before the start of school, and many students had returned to school early. Yanyuan, which had been quiet for half a summer, became lively again.

Today is the last weekend of summer vacation. The yard in Mianmian Hutong has not been properly cleaned up since it was repaired. Tao Yushu plans to clean up the yard.

When the couple came to Mianmian Hutong, they saw that the courtyard door was inserted from the inside, and they knew that Du Feng was here.

After knocking on the courtyard door, it took several minutes for someone to open the door. Du Feng looked a little panicked when he saw the two of them.

"Sister, brother-in-law, why are you here?"

"I can't come to my house anymore?"

Seeing his sneaky appearance, Tao Yushu had a bad feeling in her heart. When she walked into the courtyard, she took a special look at the west wing.

"Did you sleep here last night?"

"yes."

It was just eight o'clock at this time, and Du Feng looked worried. He couldn't believe Tao Yushu who said he didn't live here.

"Did you bring someone here?"

"No, no." Du Feng hurriedly denied, a hint of guilt flashed across his expression, and he kept winking at Lin Chaoyang.

"Yushu, let's go to the main house to take a look first. There are so many rooms, and we may not be able to finish them in a long time, so we have to hurry up."

After understanding his brother-in-law's plea for help, Lin Chaoyang spoke up.

Tao Yushu didn't say anything and went to the main room with Lin Chaoyang.

After entering the door, she did not pack her things, but stood in front of the window. She saw Du Feng entering the west wing, and then soon a figure emerged from inside, hunched over for fear of being seen by others, swinging two big pigtails.

He quickly walked out of the yard.

She turned around, Lin Chaoyang looked embarrassed.

"Okay, you are now very skilled in cooperating." Tao Yushu said sarcastically.

"Hey! I didn't expect the style of their art troupe to be so... open. This guy is so outrageous!"

Lin Chaoyang pretended to be angry, but Tao Yushu exposed his hypocrisy, "Come on, stop acting. Sometimes I really doubt that he is your biological brother."

Lin Chaoyang said with a smile: "We are a family."

Tao Yushu said helplessly: "Our yard will soon be able to buy it for him."

"He will calm down when his parents come."

Tao Yushu shook his head, "I'm afraid that my parents will cause trouble before they come."

"What happened is that your uncle is happy to be a father, so he might be happy about it."

"What are you happy about?"

"It's time for Du Feng to get married. Isn't it nice to be able to feel at ease after getting married?"

Tao Yushu rolled her eyes at him, "Full of fallacies."

The couple chatted for a while and started cleaning. Du Feng, who had "covered" his girlfriend over there, returned to the yard.

"Sister, you don't have to be busy. I usually clean when I have nothing to do. The house is clean."

"You come very often!"

Du Feng noticed the insinuations in Tao Yushu's words and said vaguely: "Well... I'll just come when I have a weekend break and go to the city to play."

Tao Yushu was too lazy to expose his lies and spent a long time cleaning up the yard. He was exhausted and covered with sweat.

At noon, Lin Chaoyang went out to have some food, but Du Feng said: "Brother-in-law, let's eat at home, I'll go buy groceries."

As he was talking, he was about to buy groceries. Lin Chaoyang stopped him, "What do you have at home? Do you have the ingredients for fried noodles?"

"There are noodles and cucumbers, but no sauce."

As soon as Du Feng said this, he noticed something was wrong. The food was so well prepared, it was not like coming once a week. He smiled at Tao Yushu in a flattering way.

"I'm going to buy some sauce." After saying that, he ran out.

Tao Yushu shook his head, "You still know how to be ashamed."

"It's not necessarily because I feel ashamed. Maybe I'm afraid that you will complain to my uncle?" Lin Chaoyang joked.

Tao Yushu couldn't help but laugh.

At noon, Lin Chaoyang made some fried noodles.

There is a pressurized water well in the courtyard of Mianmian Hutong. The cooked noodles came out of the pot and the hot air hit them. Du Feng took an aluminum basin to the courtyard and took a basin of cold water. He passed the noodles through the water, alternating with hot and cold water.

The texture of the noodles becomes firm and elastic.

Then add the dish code and mix it with the fried Laoyanjing fried sauce. After stirring, the aroma will be fragrant.

"Hmm~ My brother-in-law's cooking is delicious!"

Du Feng started to praise the noodles after taking one bite. After two bites, he felt that it was not enough, so he went to the kitchen and got two cloves of raw garlic, one bite of noodles, one bite of garlic, and it tasted delicious.

"Who did you learn this from?" Tao Yushu asked him.

"Comrades in the army, as they say, if you eat noodles without garlic, the taste will be half as bad." Du Feng said with a smile.

Tao Yushu leaned away a little in disgust, "You stay away from me."

After chatting and laughing, Du Feng suddenly approached Lin Chaoyang and asked, "Brother-in-law, let me ask you something."

"What's the matter?"

"What do you think if I retire from the army?"

Du Feng asked such a question out of the blue, and Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but wonder, "You have been in the army well, why are you thinking of retiring?"

"I just feel like I have no future in the army."

Listening to his words, Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but think of the back figure who secretly ran out in the morning.

Du Feng's character was not that of a playboy, but Lin Chaoyang had known him for such a long time and really didn't see any ambition in him.

Of course, we can't blame him. If Lin Chaoyang had a father like Du Ruolin, he might not have any ambition.

How long have we been in love now, and we are already thinking about retiring from the army? Is this the magic of love?

"What do you want to do after you retire?" Lin Chaoyang asked.

Du Feng did not answer his question, but ran into the room in the west wing. When he came back, he had a pair of toad mirrors in his hand.

"Hey, it's quite fashionable!" Lin Chaoyang joked.

In 1980, a foreign TV series "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic" was broadcast on Chinese television screens. The protagonist in it, Mike Harris, often wore a pair of toad glasses during the day.

With the popularity of the TV series, Mike's image has been enthusiastically sought after by many young people. The popular toad mirror in the TV series has also become a fashionable item that young people are flocking to.

In the past year, you can always see people wearing these when walking in the streets. Regardless of whether it is cloudy or sunny, even if you enter a movie theater, you must wear these toad glasses.

Moreover, when wearing it, you can show the purity of the quality without tearing off the label, because the labels often have words like "Hong Kong" and "Guangzhou" written on them. In people's initial impression, this kind of product from the south has become

High-end goods.

Du Feng did not respond to Lin Chaoyang's teasing, but said seriously: "I bought this pair of toad mirrors for twenty yuan. How much do you think the purchase price was?"

Lin Chaoyang chuckled: "Two or three yuan."

Du Feng was slightly surprised, "Brother-in-law, have you studied it?"

"I haven't researched it. A writer friend went to Shenzhen to do research and bought this thing. He said he bought it for 3.6 yuan."

"I see." Du Feng nodded and asked, "Did he really say he bought it for three six dollars?"

"yes."

Du Feng looked strange, and Lin Chaoyang asked: "What's wrong?"

"My friend told me that this thing cost five yuan."

Lin Chaoyang almost couldn't hold it back, "This friend of yours is planning to make a fortune from you!"

Du Feng smiled awkwardly, "Thank you for asking my brother-in-law, otherwise I would have almost suffered a loss and been deceived."

"You can't say that." Lin Chaoyang waved his hand and asked, "What do you mean, do you plan to start a business after you retire from the army?"

Du Feng nodded and said: "The job assigned by the retired soldiers only costs a few dozen yuan a month. I want to try my hand at doing business."

"How?"

"Goods from Xiangjiang and Guangzhou are very popular now. I plan to do business with someone in partnership. He will be responsible for purchasing the goods and I will be responsible for selling. We will make half the profit."

Lin Chaoyang shook his head silently after listening to his words. Du Feng saw this and asked, "Brother-in-law, isn't this idea okay?"

"The person you want to partner with is the same person who told you the purchase price of Toad Mirror is five yuan?"

"Then Thief Sun must not be found. He wants to trick me even before we form a partnership. If we really do form a partnership, he won't trick me to death? I can find someone else." Du Feng said angrily.

Lin Chaoyang shook his head again, "It's not a question of whether to change people, but your concept."

Du Feng looked doubtful.

Lin Chaoyang continued: "In this business, to put it bluntly, you are a second-rate dealer. You must be in control of both buying and selling. Otherwise, you will make some quick money, and you will be eliminated after a while."
