Before going to Qiongzhou Island, Jiang Si said that she would bring her third uncle and uncle Zhong over once she was settled there.

It's not a short stay or a visit to relatives, but to provide for their retirement in the future.

Jiang Si said seriously, "After the banquet, you and Uncle Zhong can come back to Qiongzhou Island with us. We have already arranged a house in Azhou."

Seeing that Third Uncle was a little hesitant, Jiang Si added something in a low voice.

"Don't worry about the things in the secret passage. The tenants he found are all his old comrades."

"They just registered the house in their name and would come over to help us clean it when they were free, but they would not live there for a long time."

Uncle San is not worried about this.

In fact, during the past few months when Jiang Si was away, the Red Committee came to visit almost every half a month.

To put it bluntly, this group of people just short of digging up the Jiang family.

They had been searching for such a long time but still couldn't find the entrance to the secret passage, so Third Uncle naturally had nothing to worry about.

However, he asked someone some time ago and found out that not everyone in the army could join the army.

Even in places like islands where conditions are harsh, one has to be a cadre at the deputy battalion level or above or have more than 12 years of military service.

And the only people who can accompany the troops are spouses or adult children.

Even their parents were not included in the army, let alone those of them who had no blood relationship.

It was a pity that he couldn't join the army, and his uncle was afraid that it would affect them.

Since Third Uncle could think of the situation, Jiang Si naturally thought of it as well.

Under normal circumstances, people like Uncle San do not meet the requirements for accompanying the army, but there are always exceptions.

Because rank and military service only apply to command-level officers, officers in technical positions are not actually subject to these restrictions.

Huo Tingzhou was promoted to the seventh level of technical officer some time ago because he participated in all the plans before the test flight of the H-6.

In addition to receiving a special monthly subsidy, personnel at this level also had their files reviewed directly under the jurisdiction of the military, and local Red Committees had no right to review them.

When Jiang Si heard this, she didn't quite understand it until Huo Tingzhou said something.

"This is equivalent to being on the military's key protection list. Even if something happens, you can still enjoy political immunity."

"If I get promoted one more level, I'll be able to enjoy a special allowance from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Jiang Si then realized how valuable the seventh-level technical officer rank was.

Huo Tingzhou could not say too much about the military situation, and only now that the news of the successful test flight of the H-6 has been officially released did he choose to talk about some of the things he could say.

Generally speaking, the threshold for technical-level officers in terms of family members accompanying the army can be said to be quite low.

During special periods, some family members are forced to accompany the troops.

According to the current military report and situation report, Huo Tingzhou has been promoted to the division political department.

They were all very busy these days so they didn't call to ask, but Huo Tingzhou didn't think it was a big problem.

If there really was a problem, given Director Cao's personality, he would have called us a long time ago.

Jiang Si was not too worried about this, as she had already made preparations for both scenarios.

If the higher-ups didn't approve her, she would just spend some money to build a house in a small fishing village near the staff quarters.

There are many rules and restrictions in the family compound. Based on her understanding of her uncle, he might feel more comfortable living outside.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Uncle San was no longer in a hurry to eat.

"There's a small fishing village next to their troops?"

"Yes, there are several."

Although Jiang Si hasn't been there yet, Mrs. Hu often talks about this.

"This small fishing village is actually not small. There are hundreds of households in it, and there is a pier next to the fishing village."

"A few hundred households, that's not small."

After thinking for a while, he asked again, "How far is it from the small fishing village to your family compound? Can you get there in half an hour by bike?"

"No, it's only half an hour to walk there, and about ten minutes by bike."

After listening to this, Uncle San seemed to be thinking about it. Ten minutes can be said to be quite close.

If that's the case, he would rather live outside.

Usually he and A Zhong could just stroll there.

By the way, he has to buy a small fishing boat, so he can go fishing at sea.

When Si Yatou has children in the future, they can help raise the children step by step.

The more Uncle San thought about it, the more excited he became. Isn't this the day he had always dreamed of?

"Ah Zhong, what do you think?"

Uncle Zhong smiled and said, "It's up to you to decide. I'll follow you wherever you go."

Uncle San laughed and said, "Okay, let's go to Qiongzhou Island together!"

This matter was decided happily, and after the meal, Uncle San brought another passbook.

"This is?"
