Jiang Mengxue didn't have any other thoughts, but she might have been used to being cautious.
Sometimes when I see someone’s expression is not right, I want to explain it.
Especially now that I live in the staff housing complex, I am even more worried about accidentally causing trouble for Gu Qingbei.
And there are some things in their house whose origins are impossible to trace.
It’s just that most of the things are mixed together after I come back from shopping, so they can be considered as bought, and outsiders don’t know about it.
What's more, the military leaders should be clear about what her life is like in the countryside.
When two people get married, they have to go through a political review. I guess several generations of their family have been investigated thoroughly, so there is nothing to worry about.
Chen Lanying nodded. When she was in the countryside, she also had to work in the production team, and her family's food for the whole year depended on work points.
Her family lives a better life than others because of Zhang Liming's service in the army.
"Your place is really good. In our hometown, we only get 300 kilograms of grain a year with full work points. A strong male laborer gets 10 full work points, while a female comrade only gets 7.
Later, our women comrades worked together to fight for it, and after discussion within the brigade, it was changed to eight.
The people with the highest work points in our brigade are the brigade leader and the branch secretary, who earn 18 work points a day. However, since we don’t have a clinic in our brigade, I don’t know how many work points the doctors can get.”
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Mengxue with curiosity.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the conditions in Brigade Commander Gu's hometown were really good. There was even a clinic in the brigade, while in her hometown there was only a clinic in the commune.
In the countryside, if you have any illness, you can consult a local doctor, but at most he can prescribe some herbs to dispel the cold. If you have any problem, you still have to go to the commune.
"We only had a health center last year. A regular doctor gets 20 work points, and an assistant gets 12."
Gu Yuyan only got 12 work points, but this was much better than the exhausting work they did in the team.
However, although everyone was envious, they also knew the benefits of the team having its own clinic, and no one felt that the work points given were too much.
They only have to deduct work points for medical treatment, which is much better than spending real money in the commune.
Everyone is in the same team, and Jiang Mengxue won't remember any small things as long as they don't involve taking medicine.
Even if they need to get medicine, the members can use herbs they picked from the mountains to make up for it. In short, they try not to spend money if they can.
"Wow, we can't earn so many work points in two days. My sister-in-law is really capable."
In fact, their family compound often calls people without considering their age.
For example, Gu Qingbei had a higher rank than all the military officers present, so they all called her sister-in-law, which was just a respectful title.
So Chen Lanying had thought of it before coming, but when she saw Jiang Mengxue, she couldn't bring herself to call out.
It would be fine if they were of similar age, or just of the same age, but this was too much of a resemblance. She really couldn't bring herself to call her sister-in-law.
But it’s not that particular. If I really call Jiang Mengxue sister-in-law, she would probably be the one who can’t stand it the most.
"By the way, I haven't introduced them to you yet." As she said this, she introduced the women sitting next to her one by one.
"This is the second regiment commander's wife, Dong Guizhi; the third regiment commander's wife, Liu Shuxia; and the third regiment's first battalion commander's wife, Liu Qiuxia. They are sisters.
There is also Tang Qianqian, the wife of the commander of the third battalion of the first regiment, and Wang Yuzhen, the wife of the commander of the third battalion of the second regiment.
We just happened to come here together. Many family members haven't come to join the troops yet and may not come until after the autumn harvest in the second half of the year."
Most of the soldiers came from the countryside to join the army, leaving their wives and children behind in the countryside.
What's more, some of them have never married at all. They stay in the army all day long, facing a bunch of rough old men. Where can they find wives?
There weren't many people there, so Jiang Mengxue could remember them roughly, but if she hadn't seen them for a few days, she might not be able to recognize them.
Liu Shuxia envied Jiang Mengxue, not to mention anything else, but just the fact that Gu Qingbei was young and held a high position, and his subordinates were older than him.
Although she married the regimental commander, whose status was not low, compared with Gu Qingbei, who became a brigade commander at a young age, the third regimental commander was already in his forties and was a second marriage.
I have a wife at home and three children.
She was so young and married to become someone's stepmother, which made her feel uncomfortable.
"I heard from my husband that we, the military's families, will also be given jobs. I wonder what the military's plan is?"
Generally, those who have jobs are considered to be transferred and should be assigned work as soon as they arrive.
Others will be assigned work within their capabilities as much as possible.
If they don't find jobs quickly while there are fewer family members now, who knows if there will be another chance when there are more family members in the future?
They came to visit today, firstly to get to know Jiang Mengxue, and secondly for this matter.
There’s no way Gu Qingbei doesn’t know about this. How could he not tell his wife when he gets back?
Jiang Mengxue frowned. She really didn't know much about this matter. She only heard Lu Zhengming mention it once last time, and Hou Min didn't take it seriously. Anyway, she didn't want to go to work.
"I'm not really clear on this matter. I'm taking care of my children and don't have time to work, nor do I plan to work for the time being. So my husband hasn't asked about it. Besides, there's someone specifically responsible for this matter, so they should notify me when there's any news."
After hearing this, several people didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.
It’s a good thing for them that Jiang Mengxue doesn’t want to work. One less person means less competitiveness.
But this matter has not yet come to a conclusion, and they are getting anxious.
It is not easy for a man to support the family alone. Every family has children, and those who have relatives in the countryside have to send money home every month.
There are always one or two times a year when there is something happening at home and I will write a letter to tell me, which is another expense.
When I was in the countryside, I had to exchange food for work points from the team.
But after joining the army, although I was supplied with food without having to do hard labor, I still had to buy the food with money.
The money spent on buying food for a family every month is a considerable expense.
They also knew that they couldn't get anything out of this matter, so Chen Lanying calmly changed the subject.
"Don't you grow some vegetables in your yard? It's not easy for us to buy some vegetables. The variety of vegetables delivered by the canteen's logistics department is not very wide. If we want to improve our diet, we have to go to the market run by the fellow villagers nearby."
"I was planning to plant some too. I was going to ask fellow villagers to exchange some seedlings for me next time I went to market, but I've been too busy lately and haven't had time to do so."
The yard that Jiang Mengxue and her family were allocated was not small, and the vegetables they grew were more than enough for the family of three to eat.
"You've been here for so many days, and you haven't cleaned up the house yet?"
"Sister-in-law, are you and Mobao at home?"
Jiang Mengxue was about to answer when Han Siyue's voice was heard from next door.
Han Siyue had been taking a nap at noon these days under the care of Jiang Mengxue. Perhaps she heard someone talking next door, so she called out across the yard.
