MDMP Chapter 75.1

When Zhao Suisui entered the third year of junior high school, it was almost the 1980s.

After entering the third year of junior high school, in addition to the increasingly tight schoolwork due to the preparation for entering high school, the biggest change was the increasing number of small vendors outside.

Because of the relaxation of policies, such activities as speculation and profiteering were no longer severely punished.

People who sensed this change began to boldly start some small businesses.

For example, they began to set up small stalls selling boxed lunches and various kinds of food in places with high traffic such as bus stations, outside factories, and schools.

Zhao Suisui’s school was no exception.

Every time after class or after school, the school gate always became very lively.

Many students with money were gathered in front of each small stall. They were so anxious to squeeze forward, fearing that they would not be able to buy delicious food.

Lin Juan was one of these small stalls.

Lin Juan had been looking forward to reform and opening up for a long time.

Ever since the policy of reform and opening up was published in the newspaper, Lin Juan had been going to the city more and more frequently. She had asked for leave for no reason several times, which had caused some dissatisfaction in the canteen.

However, Lin Juan didn’t care about these.

She was only thinking about doing big business in the city, so she didn’t care about this small job in the canteen of the family compound!

But, Lin Juan didn’t dare to be too aggressive and ran to the city in a hurry.

After all, the policy was still unclear. She remembered that some people who stood out at the beginning were arrested.

When Lin Juan saw other people in the city pushing carts to do business and no one was paying attention to them, she knew that the time had come.

She immediately quit her canteen job in the family compound and prepared to go to the city to do a big job.

After all, Lin Juan was a family member of a martyr. She had been able to live in the family compound all these years because of the care of the army.

Now that she suddenly resigned and went to the city, the army would inevitably care about her.

Lin Juan told the outside world that Zhang Panpan was going to take the high school entrance exam in the third year of junior high school, so she had to take care of her in this last semester.

The military wives in the family compound were shocked to hear Lin Juan’s words. They didn’t understand Lin Juan’s behavior and asked her what to do with her job.

In the eyes of these military wives, Lin Juan’s job in the canteen was very good. They couldn’t even get in if they wanted to!

Moreover, if she quit this job, how would she support her two children in the future?

Although she received a subsidy from the martyr’s family every month, there were many places to spend money when the children grew up, so the military wives were really worried about Lin Juan.

Of course, Lin Juan couldn’t tell them that she was going to do business.

Nowadays, most people still think that doing business is speculation and profiteering, which is what capitalism does and should be cut off!

If she dared to say here that she was going to do business, these military wives would definitely give her a good lesson.

When the military wives saw that Lin Juan had no plans, they could not help but persuade her not to quit her job in the canteen.

Weren’t other children in the family compound also studying? There were not many people who took care of them carefully.

Oh, except for Zhao Suisui’s family…

But Zhao Suisui was still young at that time, so it was normal for Feng He to worry about her. Of course, many people privately complained about how carefully the Zhao family raised their children.

Lin Juan laughed and fooled them away.

She just couldn’t listen to these words. She just felt that these ignorant women were blocking her from making money!

If she didn’t want to break off her relationship with the army, she wouldn’t bother to explain to these people!

Anyway, Lin Juan was determined to leave. She thought that when she made a big career in the city, these people would be so envious of her.

Lin Juan already saved a lot of money in the army over the years.

The main reason was that in the army, she didn’t have to spend money on food, accommodation, and shelter. She also got subsidies and wages for martyrs’ families every month.

Over the past few years, money has only come in and not gone out.

This money also allowed Lin Juan to easily rent a house in the city.

However, Lin Juan had no idea what kind of business to do.
