Hu Meili introduced the situation of the village in one breath, and then smiled.
"The army canteen purchases two or three batches of seafood from them every week. I have had several interactions with the village cadres, and they are very easy to talk to."
"Come on, I'll take you to the captain's house." As she spoke, Hu Meili knocked on the door of a house.
After a while, a voice came from inside, "Who is it?"
The door opened and a kind-looking lady came in.
The man smiled when he saw Hu Meili, "Hey, Deputy Director Hu, why are you here? Come in."
Hu Meili waved her hand, "Auntie, I've told you so many times, just call me Meili."
She just loves to hear the word beautiful.
The old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes. "Come in, Meili."
Not only did she smile, her attitude was also extremely warm.
As soon as he entered the house, he poured out a few cups of sugar water and said, "Hurry up and drink some water to moisten your throat."
After saying that, the old lady moved a small stool and sat opposite the few people.
"My old man Meng has gone to the seafood processing factory. Please wait a moment. I will send someone to call him over."
"Auntie, there's no need to call my uncle over. I came here today to look for you."
"Looking for me?" The old lady was stunned.
Hu Meili nodded without beating around the bush.
She pointed at Jiang Si and said, "Auntie, this is my sister. Her husband is the head of the Flying Soldier Group. Her family is coming to the island to follow the army, and they want to rent a house near the army."
"I just wonder if there is anyone suitable in our village?"
This one sentence not only revealed the relationship between the two, but also revealed Jiang Si's identity as a military dependent.
Finally, the purpose of this action was made clear.
When she heard that Jiang Si was a military dependent, the smile on the old lady's face became even more enthusiastic.
I can’t say anything else, but there are plenty of houses in their village.
The main reason is that it happened at a good time. Since the village had its own state-owned factory, the villagers' pockets have become fatter and the number of outside population has increased.
Just a few years ago, every household in the village changed their boat-shaped thatched houses into coral houses.
The old lady smiled and looked at Jiang Si, "I'll take care of the house, but I don't know how big a house you want to rent?"
Jiang Si knew that housing was in short supply these days, so she didn't have any other requirements.
"Auntie, everything else is easy to discuss, except that we want to rent a house with a private entrance and yard."
Hearing the words "independent house and courtyard", the old lady paused and said, "Wait a minute, let me think about it."
After about five or six minutes, the old lady patted her thigh and said, "There really is one. Come on, I'll take you to have a look."
Jiang Si nodded, "Thank you, Auntie."
The old lady waved her hand and said, "The military and the people are relatives, it's too formal to say this."
To be honest, there were so many fishing villages competing for the factory site, and in the end they chose Yuqidao Village because there were troops stationed nearby.
On the way there, the old lady gave a brief account of the landlord's situation.
Originally, this house was built for his two sons to get married.
However, both of their sons are promising, and one was recruited to work in the provincial capital.
The other one has gone to the army and is currently serving in a certain unit and will not be able to return in the short term.
The old lady said: "It's not a good idea for the house to be empty all the time, so the old couple moved into the new house, and now the old house is empty."
Fearing that Jiang Si might dislike it, the old lady added, "Although the house is old, it was renovated a few years ago, so it won't be a problem to live here for another decade."
As they were talking, they soon arrived at the gate of a small coral courtyard.
The old lady went in and told the landlord her purpose.
A few minutes later, a round-faced auntie came out with the old lady.
As soon as she saw the aunt's face, Jiang Si knew that she was easy to talk to.
