The tone of her voice was obviously different from usual, and it seemed like she had a surprise for her.
Seeing this, Jiang Si didn't ask any more questions.
After getting on the bus, it headed west.
Just when Jiang Si thought he was going to take her to Xishan Compound to cross the human world, she didn't expect the car to make many turns and finally stop at the gate of another quiet compound.
The license plate number had been registered early in the morning, and the guard at the door saluted and let him go after seeing it.
Looking at the neatly arranged buildings passing by outside the window, Jiang Si seemed to have a feeling, "Have the houses in the family compound been completed?"
"Yeah." As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Tingzhou had already parked the car steadily in front of a one-story building with gray bricks and red tiles.
He turned off the engine and pulled a brass key from his pocket.
The house had been completed a few days ago, and as soon as it was packed, he couldn't wait to take her to see his new home.
Jiang Si had known for a long time that the Air Force's welfare benefits were notoriously good, but when she saw the magnificent small building in front of her, she couldn't help but be surprised.
Judging from the appearance, this house seems to be bigger than the one in Xishan Courtyard.
It's either the same size or bigger.
The houses in Xishan Courtyard were built in the early days of the People's Republic of China, when the economic conditions were far worse than they are today.
Huo Tingzhou is currently at the deputy army level, which corresponds to the Class A, Type 2 housing for cadres at the division level and above.
So the house I bought was a small brick-concrete building with a small courtyard of about 25 square meters in front.
The total area is 150 square meters, and it is a house with six bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom.
Huo Tingzhou took her on a brief tour upstairs and downstairs.
There is no such thing as a public area in this era. To be honest, a 150-square-meter house is already very large.
There is a 30-square-meter suite upstairs, which is the master bedroom for the couple, with a small bathroom.
The two little ones' room is also on the first floor.
One per person, all with the same area.
There is an empty sunny room between the master bedroom and the two little ones' rooms.
Huo Tingzhou has already planned it, and this will be used as Jiang Si's study.
The two rooms downstairs are used as guest rooms, making it convenient for other people to stay for a short time.
The water, electricity, heating and telephone in the house have been installed in advance and can be used directly.
A few days ago, Huo Tingzhou brought his orderly to move the matching furniture back.
The furniture is basically new and well maintained.
The most eye-catching thing is the army green cowhide sofa in the living room. This style is very comfortable to sit on.
Of course, because the house is quite large, all these furniture are far from enough.
"Wife," Huo Tingzhou said, pulling Jiang Si to sit down after they had finished looking at the house. "I have to go back to Qiongzhou Island in a few days. I have some work to hand over there, so I won't be back until the end of October."
When he returned to Beijing, he received a last-minute notice and left in a hurry, without having time to pack up his house properly.
Jiang Si's clothes and painting supplies were left over there.
There are also Third Uncle and Uncle Zhong, they also left a lot of things on the island.
"I'll pack up the clothes and other things and send them back via the post office."
"Large pieces of furniture, like beds, wardrobes, and tables, can only be shipped by freight, which may take a long time." Huo Tingzhou stated his plans one by one.
"Isn't it too much trouble?" Jiang Si had never sent such a large item, and Qiongzhou Island was so far away from Beijing, the shipping fee would probably be quite high.
She thought that if it was too troublesome, she could just sell the furniture at a low price and buy whatever was needed here.
"No trouble." He and his wife picked out these furniture together, and they have different meanings.
Huo Tingzhou said, "Old Xiao and the others went back early, and all the things have been packed and sent to Beijing. I asked, and the price is still good."
From Qiongzhou Island to Beijing, the bulk of the route is from Guangzhou to Beijing. The freight is 0.074 yuan per kilogram per kilometer.
Then there are some wooden box packaging and transportation costs.
Old Xiao's family had a lot more stuff than they did. All in all, the shipping cost was nearly a thousand yuan.
Huo Tingzhou estimated that their family would only need about five or six yuan.
Moreover, the army has a policy that for cadres transferred across military regions, the transportation fee can be reduced by 30%.
Jiang Si thought about it and agreed. In addition to needing furniture tickets, the price of each piece of new furniture was not cheap.
A double-door wardrobe costs about 60 or 70 yuan, and with the receipt, it's almost 80 yuan each.
She has a lot of clothes and needs a lot of furniture.
Since it can be shipped back, it would be more appropriate to ship it back.
Speaking of Captain Xiao, Jiang Si casually asked, "Did Brother Xiao and Deputy Captain Lei get promoted this time?"
Huo Tingzhou nodded. "Old Xiao was promoted two levels and is now a division commander. Those things about Old Lei's family did affect him a little, but he was promoted this time and is now a regimental commander."
Upon hearing that they had been promoted, Jiang Si was very happy for her two sisters-in-law.
However, this is not what makes her happiest.
Huo Tingzhou continued, "Old Xiao has been promoted two levels, so his rank is high enough, so he has also been transferred to the Air Force General Compound this time."
Although they were separated by two or three rows of houses, Jiang Si felt a little more excited about her future life when she thought that they would be able to live in the same compound in the future.
