Chapter 575: The Sister-in-law Bought the Yard
Ever since Lin Qingqing said that they could live outside the army, the sisters-in-law have had no appetite for food.
He only picks up a piece of food with chopsticks after saying four or five sentences.
Everyone is discussing how to decorate the yard after buying it.
Seeing that Lin Qingqing's yard was beautifully decorated, they also wanted to spruce up their own yard.
This yard is different from the house allocated by the army. It is their own house, so the thought and effort put into it is different.
Xiaomei's yard has not been renovated yet. Seeing that her sisters-in-law have so many ideas, she also joined the discussion.
The hall suddenly became lively.
Zhang Xiaoli said with a smile: "I also want to make a small garden in my yard. Seeing flowers every day will make me feel good. I will keep the land behind the yard for growing vegetables."
Honghua, who knows how to live, said, "I want to build a set of furniture. Let's go and ask for the price together when we have time. The price of building one set will definitely be different from building eight sets."
Xiuhong agreed: "I have to build a pavilion in the yard too. It would be so comfortable to sit in the pavilion and feel the breeze in the summer."
“…”
Everyone was thinking about how to decorate the house, while Lin Qingqing was thinking about having a small meeting with the Sky Eagle Guards later. They would have to pay for the purchase of the yard themselves, and whether to move out or not had to be decided by the whole family after discussion.
Some team members have parents who come to accompany the army, so the sisters-in-law cannot make the decision on their own.
Avoid causing family conflicts.
After the sisters-in-law have confirmed it with their families, they will discuss it with the local commune.
With so many people moving in, they have settled down in the village. How should the public grain be calculated?
The commune paid public grain according to the population.
But in the future, she wants to arrange for these sisters-in-law to work in the pharmaceutical factory, so they definitely won’t have time to go to the fields. This must be made clear to the team.
Later, Song Yiyuan was asked to go to the commune to discuss these matters.
"Qingqing, you said we should buy eight courtyards at once. Are the courtyards in this village enough?" Chen Qiuchan thought of this and turned to ask Lin Qingqing.
Lin Qingqing nodded without hesitation. "Many families in this village have moved to Kyoto City, leaving many courtyards empty. The villagers are worried about finding suitable buyers. There are definitely eight courtyards, but they are not concentrated."
When she bought the house, Grandpa Song told her about the situation in the village.
Wu Aizhu, who had been silent for a while, whispered, "Should we go home and discuss this with our husbands?"
Lin Qingqing smiled. Finally someone thought of this.
Xiuhong frowned and said, "Aizhu, can't you be a good person at home? In my family, everyone listens to me. I can make all the decisions myself."
Zhang Xiaoli also said proudly: "I am also the one who makes the cake in our family."
Needless to say, Chen Qiuchan, it was not easy for her to get pregnant, and now everything in the family depends on her.
Lin Qingqing clapped her hands to bring the sisters-in-law back to their senses.
"Sisters-in-law, if you really want to buy a house in this village, wait until the men outside have finished their meal and we can have a small meeting to discuss this matter. After all, buying a house will cost several hundred yuan. This is entirely voluntary on each family's part. If you still think it's better to stay in the army, I won't have any objections."
Everyone took these words to heart and thought about it again. It was true. They were all so happy just now that they were dizzy.
For something as big as buying a yard, I definitely have to go home and discuss it with my man.
Xiuhong stood up and saw that the two large tables outside were still eating enthusiastically, so she sat down and continued chatting with everyone.
Chen Qiuchan said that he was definitely going to buy a house, and Xiuhong and Honghua immediately expressed their opinions.
Lin Qingqing nodded and said, "After you and your family have confirmed it, I will find the team leader here and talk to the villagers about buying the yard. I'll try to buy two or three houses together so that they can look after each other and you don't have to run around the village trying to sell yards to other families."
"That's a great feeling." Honghua said with a smile.
Lin Qingqing suddenly thought of something and said, "You should buy a yard first. When you move out of the army, the houses there will be distributed to other people, so it won't take up resources."
All the sisters-in-law nodded.
They have all been released from the army. If they still occupy the house, there will definitely be people gossiping behind their backs.
After more than half an hour, the man outside was almost drunk.
Seeing this, Lin Qingqing walked out and greeted everyone again.
Seeing Commander Ma's face flushed red from being drunk, he could hardly speak, which was completely different from his usual serious and dignified appearance.
She glared at Song Yiyuan: "Why drink so much? You still have to work tomorrow."
Song Yiyuan looked at Zhang Liang with an unhappy expression and said, "You guys have no sense of propriety when it comes to drinking."
Zhang Liang immediately took the pot.
"Major General, we are greedy for wine. If there were only two bottles of wine, we definitely wouldn't drink like this."
Zhou Lie and Li Aiguo nodded repeatedly.
Xiuhong followed Zhang Liang out and gave him a sidelong glance: "Since you've all drunk so much today, don't drink at home for the next three months."
Zhang Liang immediately looked at Song Yiyuan with a bitter face, but dared not say anything.
It was clearly their captain who was forcing people to drink.
"Have you finished eating? I have a small meeting to hold. Those who have families can come to the living room with my sister-in-law. Those who don't have families can go back to the army first." Lin Qingqing said to everyone.
After saying that, she told Commander Ma's guard to drive Commander Ma back to the army first.
"Zhou Lie, it's getting late. You should take Xiaomei and Commander Ma back to Tang." She instructed Zhou Lie again.
Zhou Lie looked bewildered: "Am I not also from the Yu family?"
Lin Qingqing stood there without saying a word, staring at him blankly.
Zhou Lie felt uneasy when Lin Qingqing stared at him like this. Doesn't he have a family?
His heart was pounding when Xiaomei came over with a bulging belly and started pulling him out.
"It has nothing to do with us. It's the sisters-in-law who want to buy the yard in this village. I need to have a meeting with the people in the team to discuss it."
Lin Qingqing sent Commander Ma and the other members of the Sky Eagle Guard to the door before returning to the hall.
The hall was full of people sitting there, while Lin's mother and Grandma Honghua were taking care of the children in the room.
The meeting was hosted by Lin Qingqing and Song Yiyuan.
Zhang Liang and others had already heard about buying the yard from their respective spouses.
They did not immediately comment.
First of all, their first identity is a soldier, and what they do in the army is to defend the country.
If they bought the yard to protect Lin Qingqing, they naturally had no objection.
But apart from that, they had more to consider and were not as excited as the sisters-in-law.
While serving in the army, there has never been a precedent of moving outside the army to live, which involves a series of issues.
Lin Qingqing sat down and glanced at everyone, but didn't see anyone who looked drunk.
She began to speak, "I've kept you here because I have something to tell you. I'm living in a yard outside the military base. I bought it myself. One yard cost about 700 yuan, and the smaller one cost 500 yuan."
"Just now, while we were having dinner, one of my sisters-in-law mentioned wanting to buy a yard to live in the village. This brings us to the issue of soldiers having to live in the military. As a soldier, everyone has the obligation to be ready for deployment at any time, which is why serving soldiers must live in the military. I've already thought of a solution to this problem."
"Actually, your being able to live in the village is an added measure of protection for me. So, whether you're moving out of the unit to protect me or to find a better living environment, you'll have to go through multiple procedures and notify everyone before you can move out."
Song Yiyuan also spoke up: "There is no military order for this matter. It is entirely voluntary. However, the army will subsidize you 100 yuan. After all, the army is obligated to arrange accommodation for you."
Zhang Liang glanced at everyone's reactions and was the first to speak out: "I want to move out."
His wife has already discussed this with him and has set her eyes on the yard in my village.
After buying the yard, he can also bring his mother from his hometown to take care of her. Previously, the house in the tube-shaped building was too small to accommodate anyone.
Others who have similar thoughts include Chen Yudong, Zhu Haijun, and Zhuang Zongyong.
Their annual mission load is twice as much as that of ordinary soldiers. They don't have much rest time in the army, let alone going back home to visit their parents.
If they had a big yard, they could bring their parents over to take care of them, and they would have one less thing to worry about.
Chen Qiuchan's husband, Chen Yudong, immediately said, "I want to move out too."
The red flower man, Li Zhiming, also said, "Add me in."
Lin Qingqing waved her hand: "You don't need to express your opinions now. Let's go back and discuss it. Those of you who have families at home can live together and discuss it first."
"If you move out, the housing originally allocated by the military will be reclaimed. We cannot waste military resources. When that happens, both you and I will tell the public that you are being transferred here to protect me and my family. The military will also issue you special passes, which will only be used by soldiers and their families moving out."
"You guys should discuss it over the next two days and decide on the number of people who will be moving out. I'll try to communicate with the captain here and arrange for your yards to surround mine. It will be easier for everyone to look after each other when we're together."
"Okay." Zhang Liang, as the deputy captain, responded on behalf of the rest of the team.
It was already late after the meeting, so Lin Qingqing asked Jiang Haixia to drive Honghua Po Po, Xiuhong, Honghua and Chen Qiuchan back to the army, and the others could go back as they came.
Song Yiyuan dismantled the round table in the yard and placed it against the wall. Someone will come and take it away tomorrow.
While the children were not making any noise, Lin's father watched the children in the room, Lin's mother and Jiang Haixia washed the dishes, and Lin Qingqing and Song Yiyuan were responsible for cleaning the kitchen and the living room.
While busying himself, Song Yiyuan asked Lin Qingqing, "Did the sisters-in-law bring up the idea of buying a yard today?"
Lin Qingqing replied, "It was Sister Xiuhong who asked. Anyway, if they move out, it will do more good than harm, both for me and for them."
Song Yiyuan also admitted it, but he was afraid that if this precedent was broken, other people in the army would have other ideas.
…
On the afternoon of the third day, Lin Qingqing received the exact news about the Sky Eagle Guards' plan to move out.
She was reading in the pavilion when Zhang Xiaoli and Wei Yinghong came out of the army.
"Qingqing, you really love studying and never miss a chance." Zhang Xiaoli said with a smile.
Wei Yinghong was impatient and immediately stated her purpose.
"Qingqing, we have made up our minds. We want to buy a yard and live in the village."
After that, she added somewhat sullenly, "Aizhu and Cuifang won't move out for the time being. Aizhu's mother-in-law doesn't want to spend money to buy a yard, and Cuifang and she have a good relationship and don't want to live apart."
In fact, it was Grandma Aizhu who felt that she was unwilling to spend money to protect the country's leaders and ask them to buy a house with their own money.
