Now that the new military district has been built, all the dry toilets have septic tanks, and they can't freely draw fertilizer like this outhouse. So the sisters-in-law didn't fill in the old outhouses, otherwise it would be inconvenient to draw fertilizer in the future. Men can't compete with women in these trivial matters of life. Anyway, it's dispensable and casual, so they just keep the old pit.
Who would have thought that someone would actually fall into the pit toilet? I'm not kidding, he really fell into the pit toilet. So many kids saw it. This was the first time since the establishment of the army. It refreshed everyone's concept and made everyone realize that people could really fall into the pit toilet. Therefore, when it comes to safety issues, the army will not sit idly by. The sisters-in-law will worry that their children will fall into it with the example of donkey eggs in front of them, so there will be basically no resistance to filling the pit toilet.
Since the pit toilet could be filled, Jiang Shuyao no longer worried about the iron pillars and tree roots falling down. She put this issue aside. She heard other information from Hao Yuanchao's words, "Can the family members get a share of the land? What about our family?"
Hao Yuanchao really liked her saying the words 'our family'; it made him feel satisfied, and his eyes and eyebrows couldn't help but soften. He leaned in front of her and quickly kissed her cheek before saying, "The matter of the land hasn't been settled yet. When the land was first reclaimed, the army was small, and each family could get one or two acres. Now that the new military region has been established, the population has increased by more than half, and there are many family members accompanying the troops. They see that the original troops have their own land, and they also want it. But the family members in front are not happy about it. They don't want to take back what they have been allocated. They say that they reclaimed the land together and it should belong to them. It doesn't make sense to let the later ones reap the benefits.
However, those lands were almost the amount that the military region could reclaim, and the environment was special at the time, so no one would say anything about reclaiming them. Now it may not be so easy to reclaim them, and there is not so much land to reclaim. So those who came later were not happy about it and made a lot of noise. The commander and the political commissar were very troubled, but they still couldn't come to a conclusion.
But don't worry, this area belongs to the military district and it has the authority to handle it. There's no use arguing about small matters, but it's useless for big matters. They're still making a fuss because they're condoned by the higher-ups. The integration of old and new troops will always bring about various conflicts. If we deal with it too quickly, neither side will be happy. Only by letting them argue and then dealing with it when it's almost over can we win over the people's hearts, and I think that will be done soon."
Those who can lead troops to fight are not really ignorant and rough guys. There is no real fool who can sit in that high position. They are not pushovers. Therefore, Hao Yuanchao is not worried at all about not getting any land. The gap in the number of people between the new and old troops is so big. In the end, the minority must obey the majority. The current commotion is just to shift the focus of contradictions. The people in power always want to secure their positions first and then slowly adjust. There will be no chaos in the nest. After all, this is an army, not a political field.
"Okay, let's wait for the result." Jiang Shuyao didn't bother with this matter. Hao Yuanchao had explained everything in detail, so she had nothing to worry about.
"Don't sleep at noon, go get some mud and bricks. It's best to repair your own toilet today. I can't stand the smell of dry toilets." Dry toilets are not flush toilets like those in later generations. They are cleaned by hand with water. If they are not cleaned frequently, they will easily become smelly. Jiang Shuyao felt nauseous just thinking about it, and she avoided all yellow food at lunch.
"Okay, I'll do it right away. If you're in a hurry, you can go to the space secretly and get the materials ready at noon. I'll find a few people to help finish it quickly after work in the evening. Just repair it in that corner, okay?" Hao Yuanchao pointed to the corner at the entrance of the yard. The gate was not centered but slightly to the left. The position Hao Yuanchao pointed to was also farther away from the gate, so the toilet was not right there as soon as he entered the yard, and it was also far from the house. Fortunately, the yard was big enough.
Jiang Shuyao nodded and said that it could only be built there, but it needed to be renovated and must not be as smelly as the public toilets in the military area.
Hao Yuanchao nodded to show that he understood and that he was capable of doing this job.
"Let's dig a well in the yard so that we can have water more conveniently." She and Hao Yuanchao both came from the future. They had to take a bath every day even in winter. They also had to mop the floor and wash things, which were places where water was used a lot. It would be too troublesome to carry water from the bamboo forest every day.
Hao Yuanchao had no objection to this. Jiang Shuyao felt sorry for him. "I'll find someone who can dig a well and see if this place is suitable. If it is, I'll dig one."
With the two major issues of toilets and water solved, the only thing left was eating, which was a simpler task. The stove had already been built, and a large cooking pot would be enough. However, Jiang Shuyao felt that using a large cooking pot to boil water for bathing was inconvenient, so she wanted to build a smaller stove to use for boiling water, one of those cylindrical deep pots she had seen in rural areas when she traveled to more remote areas. She wondered if they were available here. If not, she would see if she could find someone to build one or find another alternative. She wasn't sure, so she would go to the supply and marketing cooperative later.
As for other trivial matters, make a list so that you can see at a glance what is missing.
He did what he said. At noon, after Hao Yuanchao came back from the canteen with his family, he went to find his comrades to see where he could get materials for building a toilet, as well as issues such as digging a groundwater well. If he could finish the job sooner, maybe he could even take credit for it in front of Jiang Shuyao, and then she would be willing to consummate her marriage with him.
This feeling of being able to see and kiss something but not being able to eat it is really torturous!
Hao Yuanchao went to find Zhan Hongjun first. They were the most familiar with the unit, and since he had arrived earlier than Hao, he knew more information, so it would be the quickest and easiest way to get information. And since the donkey egg fell into the pit, Zhan Hongjun might also be interested in building a toilet.
Of course, he definitely didn't come here to laugh at the joke, but he sincerely wanted his old comrades to have a more convenient and comfortable life. He could raise two fingers to swear!
Zhan Hongjun: I would never trust you!
The friendship between plastic comrades can be broken off at any time.
