After several years of development, the family compound is now quite large, with about a hundred households.
In order to facilitate management, a new four-story building was built in the family compound with collective heating, which makes it especially warm in winter.
As the small building was built bit by bit, the family members went from being indifferent at first to being full of anticipation.
The fight over the qualification to live in the small building was a huge one.
The original quietness is gone forever.
As the wife of the group leader, Song Shuqian also has a certain say. Even if she usually doesn't want to take care of the affairs of the staff quarters, she can't escape at this time.
Everyone is particularly sensitive about this matter.
Recently, there has been an endless stream of people giving gifts to Song Shuxi, which has made her very annoyed. I can't do anything every day and just play Tai Chi with them.
Song Shuqian didn't understand their behavior. What was so good about living in that shabby little house? One room was only about 60 square meters. How could a whole family fit in it?
Moreover, the houses are next to each other, and everything done by the neighbors can be heard, so there is no privacy at all.
The newly built house is a tube-shaped building with 10 households on each floor. There is a bathroom and a washroom on each floor, which is very cramped.
Song Shuqian told everyone, "How the house is divided specifically depends on the actual situation of each family, and on the merits of the men in each family. These things are open and transparent, so how can I say anything about it?"
Sisters-in-law, go back and wait for notification. The logistics department will post the news as soon as it is available. "
After that, she added, "The organization didn't expect everyone to like this house so much, so it was decided that leaders above the regiment level will not participate in the competition this time. Everyone go back and wait for news."
She has said everything she can say, and whether they listen or not is their business.
Song Shuqian closed the door and declined the visitor.
Leaders at the regimental level and above will not participate in the competition. This is a decision made after the hostesses of each family discussed it together, and it has not been told to the men in the families yet.
They think that now that the size of the family compound is larger, the diversity of species is also reflected. Simply put, there are all kinds of people.
If they live there, if there is a quarrel in a family that needs mediation, they will be the first to look for them; if there is a family in trouble and needs help, they will be the first to look for them to borrow money.
By then, there will definitely be endless troubles.
It’s better to stay away from it. The leaders live here and generally no one comes to disturb us.
Everyone keep a safe distance.
Not to mention the distant past, just look at the present. Since the news was released, there has been an endless stream of people giving gifts to the leaders' families.
They all have these things, and they won't give themselves any room for criticism, nor will they become a stumbling block for men.
I don’t know about other families, but for Song Shuqian, no matter who sends her anything, she refuses them all, treating everyone equally.
But there were some people who seemed not to understand what was being said and just dropped their things and ran away.
Song Shuqian was so confused that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was worried to death.
I could only take Aunt Fu with me to deliver the things to the families one by one.
I don’t know whether these people are smart or stupid, but the things they sent were very well-deserved, including vegetables grown at home, bacon pickled at home, and some snacks that they made themselves.
It would neither let Song Shuxi make mistakes nor express their feelings.
After a few days of this, Song Shuqian was tired.
At night, she let the two children sleep with Aunt Fu. She wanted to have a good talk with Wei Jianguo. She couldn't go on like this.
So when Wei Jianguo got home, he found a listless wife. She lay listlessly on the recliner, swaying from time to time.
"Honey, you're back. I waited for you specially. I have something to tell you."
Wei Jianguo could roughly guess what happened, so he squatted in front of her and asked, "What's wrong? Who made our Xixi unhappy?"
"It's still the small building in the family compound. Why are you guys making such a fuss? Recently, people have been giving me gifts every day, and I can't leave the house.
They seemed not to understand what I said and continued to do as they pleased no matter what I said. "
Wei Jianguo looked at her angry face and wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare.
He solemnly promised, "I will go to the military district tomorrow and urge them to speed up and solve the problem as soon as possible. Wife, do you want to stay?"
"No, not at all. That little house is too small. I feel cramped just looking at it. I still like the house we live in now, with a yard where I can grow vegetables and warm myself by the fire."
After hearing this, Song Shuqian understood why they robbed it. In addition to the filter that the small building came with, it was also because of the collective heating.
The winters here are extremely cold, and a lot of coal is needed throughout the winter.
Last year, Song Shuxi's family bought 3 tons of coal. The price of coal was 20 yuan per ton, so they spent 60 yuan on it.
For a frugal family, 60 yuan is several months' living expenses.
Wei Jianguo also supported her choice. "Indeed, we have four children in our family. When they grow up a little bit, Yueyue will have to live separately from them. The tube-shaped building is indeed a bit small. What kind of house do you like, wife?"
Speaking of the house, Song Shuxi became very excited. She has been thinking about this issue recently.
"I like the Siheyuan in the old city. When we have the chance in the future, we will buy a Siheyuan with three entrances. Each person in our family should have a small courtyard.
I want to have a big study, a piano room, and an embroidery building. "
Song Shuxi wanted a small courtyard like the one she had in her previous life.
Listening to her chattering about her future plans, Wei Jianguo gently hugged her and did not disturb her.
He just treated her as a daughter-in-law and didn't know that houses cannot be bought and sold.
How could he know that Song Shuxi heard from Tiantian that housing prices were rising very fast and changing every day. I have decided to buy more houses so that each child will have a yard as a guarantee for them.

Then I will use the money I have to make some investments, and when the children grow up, I will give each of them some start-up capital and let them work hard on their own.
After imagining the future, Wei Jianguo brought everyone back to reality. The problem of Song Shuxi being chased by her family members every day had not been solved.
There was really no other way, so Wei Jianguo came up with a bad idea, "Wife, why don't you go out and hide? Didn't you say you wanted to see the volcano before? You and Comrade Tian take An An Le Le and Si Hu away.
The children at home were left to me and Liu Xinguo, and we took them to the military area during the day. They were all very well behaved, and we just put them on the mat and let them crawl. I know how to change diapers and feed.
Besides, there is Aunt Fu. "
After saying this, Wei Jianguo nodded seriously, feeling that he had come up with a good idea.
Song Shuqian rolled her eyes at this unreliable man. Although he often helped take care of the children, he had no idea how troublesome children of this age could be. Besides, who would bring a child with them to training? He has set the precedent, and if everyone follows suit, that would be disastrous.
But hiding away is a good idea.
After rejecting the proposal to see the volcano, Song Shuxi planned to go to Daqing Mountain and visit Cuiyuan City.
She has lived here for two years and has only been active in the old town of Cuiyuan City.
I'll have to take a good look at this chance.
As for the children, compared to Wei Jianguo who simply gave them a mat and let them crawl on it, she trusted Aunt Fu more.
Once you figure it out, you won’t be bothered anymore.
"Honey, carry me to the kang. I'm sleepy." Wei Jianguo obediently carried her to the kang, but Song Shuqian was destined not to be able to go to bed early.
The man seemed to have taken stimulants, tossing and turning all night.
After being married for so many years, he never gets tired of doing this kind of thing.
