The next morning, before Wen Qiao even got up, she heard several voices coming from the courtyard.
Wen Qiao came out of the house and looked at the few people standing in the yard. She didn't recognize any of them, but they were wearing military uniforms, so they must be from the military.
Shen Jichuan noticed that everyone was looking towards the entrance of the main room. He was talking to everyone and had his back to the entrance, and the distance was a bit far, so he naturally didn't hear Wen Qiao's voice when she came out.
Seeing everyone's reaction, he turned around to look.
"Everyone, please wait a moment."
After finishing his sentence, Shen Jichuan walked towards Wen Qiao.
"Why are you up so early? Is it the noise outside that's bothering you?"
Wen Qiao glanced at the people in the courtyard and asked, "Why are there so many people? What do you want?"
There wouldn't be so many people if there wasn't something going on.
Shen Jichuan said, "I want to have the interior renovated so that you can use it comfortably in both winter and summer, and you won't have to go outside."
Wen Qiao did not object.
Actually, she didn't care, since the environment in her hometown was even worse than it is now.
The Northwest is indeed harsh and cold, but she is warmly dressed, well-fed, and has Shen Jichuan's care, so relatively speaking, it's much better than before.
But Shen Jichuan is different. He is a cadre in Beicheng, and the second floor of his house has a flush toilet.
“Sure, there are plenty of rooms, we can’t possibly stay them all.”
Have you decided which room you want to convert into a bathroom?
Shen Jichuan said, "The innermost room has an open space outside where we can dig a septic tank. The location doesn't conflict with the direction of the neighbor's house, so it's a pretty good spot."
"Or do you want to be closer?"
Wen Qiao immediately said, "No need, it's all indoors, which is already very convenient. You know more about the construction than I do, and your arrangements are more reasonable, so just listen to you."
The two chatted briefly, and Shen Jichuan said he would ask them to come in and help clean up the clutter, and that he might have to smash some things.
Wen Qiao said it was okay.
She turned and went out to prepare hot water.
She told Shen Jichuan that they should eat breakfast at home too.
Shen Jichuan said it wasn't necessary; he just called a few soldiers from the army to help with the work, and told them to go back and eat when it was time to go.
Wen Qiao, however, felt that it wasn't quite right.
"That would be so embarrassing."
Shen Jichuan could tell that Wen Qiao was genuinely embarrassed, so he said, "Then think about buying something and having it delivered to the mess hall to improve everyone's meals."
"That's a good idea, let's buy some meat."
Wen Qiao thought about buying some meat and having it delivered directly to the mess hall, which would be really convenient. Given her current situation, cooking would definitely be inconvenient, considering there were so many people.
It was sent to the mess hall so everyone could eat it and improve their meals.
Shen Jichuan's idea was that he was willing to spend money to get his wife to do things for him, so that he could gain a good reputation here.
After Shen Jichuan went out, he called five or six soldiers, one of whom was a tall and thin squad leader. He led the other five into the house.
These young soldiers are highly efficient and have strong execution capabilities.
The items in the storage room were cleared out in less than half an hour.
Shen Jichuan gave a brief explanation: this area needed to be demolished, and that area needed to be repainted. Squad Leader Sun responded accordingly.
"Rest assured, sir, it must be completed within three days."
"It's freezing cold, so take it easy. Your sister-in-law said she'll get you something nice to treat you to after this is all over."
Squad Leader Sun chuckled.
"Sister-in-law, you're too kind. There's no need for that."
