Jiang Si looked at him curiously, "Why?"
"Because you don't meet the age requirement." Huo Tingzhou said.
He is currently a regimental-level cadre. If he wants to be promoted further, he can only move up to deputy division commander.
The average age for promotion to deputy division commander is around 35 years old, so even if he has accumulated enough military merit, he will not be promoted again in the next year.
"So that's how it is."
At this moment, Huo Tingzhou suddenly straightened his body and looked at her seriously.
He used to call her Miss Si, and later called her Comrade Jiang. He had never called her by her nickname in front of her.
So much so that when he called out the name Si Si, his voice was trembling a little.
"Si Si, once the marriage report is submitted, there will be no room for regret. Have you thought about it?"
Jiang Si understood what he meant, and she also knew that the targets of military marriage protection had never been lesbians.
But she is a person who always does things as she pleases.
It’s normal if the final result is still unsatisfactory.
Anyway, the result... is the same, she is willing to accept the defeat!
The process of waiting is always tormenting. Although Jiang Si only thought for less than ten seconds, Huo Tingzhou felt as if every second was a year.
He saw Jiang Si nodded and said she had made up her mind.
Huo Tingzhou finally felt relieved.
"Then I'll file a marriage report as soon as possible. When I get back, I'll take you to see the family compound and you can pick the one you like."
Jiang Si didn't have any special requirements, as long as it wasn't a tube-shaped building.
Thinking that she has space, where she grows so many fruits and vegetables, and raises so many chickens, ducks, fish and crabs.
Jiang Si said, "It's up to you. It's best to choose a bungalow with a small yard in front."
Huo Tingzhou was silent for a while, "Does it have to be a bungalow with a yard?"
Jiang Si was a little confused, "Is it difficult to apply for a bungalow?"
It’s strange. Isn’t it said that people of this era like to live in high-rise buildings? Isn’t it the same here on Qiongzhou Island?
"That's not the case. It's just that there are no bungalows in our military district's family compound."
Huo Tingzhou explained to her that there was actually a saying circulating in their army.
"The Navy's big temple, the Air Force's building, and the auditorium of the General Logistics Department are first-rate."
As can be seen from the literal meaning, when it comes to air force housing configuration, most of them are buildings.
In addition, Qiongzhou Island has several months of returning southerly winds in late winter and early spring every year, which makes the bungalows prone to dampness and water accumulation.
Typhoons occur frequently in summer, so the military’s family quarters are all built with uniform two-story buildings.
There are 1 family on each floor, each with two rooms, and the toilet and bathroom are shared.
This is the dormitory for officers below the battalion level.
Cadres at the regimental level and above also live in buildings, but they are all single-family houses, and the overall layout is actually very similar to that of a bungalow.
The foundation is just a little higher and there is a small attic on top compared to a bungalow.
There is no yard in front, but I can build one myself, so it’s not a big problem.
Jiang Si's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this. This was really beyond her expectations.
The matter of the house was thus happily settled.
It was already late, Huo Tingzhou said, "Go to bed early tonight. I have already checked the furniture and large items in advance today."
"I'll take you to take a look tomorrow. If there's no problem, then it's settled."
Jiang Si nodded and was about to say yes when the voice of guard He Ping suddenly came in.
"Comrade Su, why are you here——"
