Xu Wen looked at his second brother and said, "Second brother, just like Manman said, if we take back those houses, can we also ask Comrade Xiao Jin to help us?"
"Of course, it's possible, but we still have to sort out the housing issue here first. It's too early to talk about this now."
Xu Gang looked at Xu Manman and said, "Nannan, you must thank Comrade Xiao Jin when you go back this time. He was really thoughtful and even sent the photos over. As for the reward and expenses, I think we should add a little more."
"I gave it to him before I came back. Comrade Jin Zichu's bill was very detailed, and I paid for the design fees separately."
She really gave it to Xiao Jin. Now Xiao Jin has some social connections and personal relationships outside, and she let him keep the hard-earned money he earned in this world as his own private money.
(Xiao Jin: Xiao Jin never needs any private money. He immediately hands over any money he has. In other words, his host doesn't check his points or balance now, so he hasn't noticed anything.)
"Okay, in Hai City, you can first mention this to Comrade Jin Zichu. However, we are not in a hurry to move in since the house has not been taken back yet. Let's wait until we are sure about it."
"Okay, Dad."
After everyone has finished looking at the photos, Xu Gang collected them and will then send them to his elder brother Xu Lei.
After dinner, everyone gathered on the sofa to drink tea and digest their food. Chen Meiyu looked at Xu Jianbing and said, "Jianbing, you're going to Hunan Province this time. I heard it's very cold there in the winter. Did you bring enough winter clothes?"
Before Xu Jianbing could say anything, his aunt Lu Meihua said, "He definitely didn't bring anything. The kid only brought two bags, and you can tell by the looks of it that they can't hold any winter clothes. Not to mention Jianbing, Jianjun's luggage is also very small."
"We have to prepare early. My colleagues in Hunan Province said that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, we need to put on more clothes. It will snow heavily in winter. Nanshi is close to us, so the climate there is similar.
So, Meihua, please save some cotton for me during this time. I also have some work cloth here. I can make two sets of cotton clothes for the children when the time comes."
Xu Jianbing quickly waved his hand, "No need, Auntie. We have military coats. Our school is very strict, so we usually only wear uniforms. We can't wear other clothes even if we bring them."
Chen Meiyu had never been to a military academy, so naturally she didn't know the rules and regulations. "Really? Even if I make the cotton-padded jacket, I can't wear it?"
Xu Jianjun beside him also nodded, "It's true, Second Aunt, Little Aunt, you guys don't have to bother with it. We only brought our military uniforms this time. We didn't dare bring any other clothes except for what we'll wear these past two days."
Lu Meihua asked, "You can't just wear the outer cotton coat casually, but you can always wear the sweater and trousers inside, right?"
Chen Meihua's brows relaxed when she heard that. "Yes, then Meihua, please leave me some wool so I can knit two sets of sweaters and trousers." Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her two children and her husband. "Forget it, please leave me more. I'm afraid I can't finish it by myself. I'll ask Aunt Ju for help when the time comes."
Ye Rong next to her also said she wanted one. Their sweaters were knitted by Manman when she went to the countryside two years ago and sent back to her. Even though they were well-dressed, they had become old after two or three years.
This kind of thing is a trivial matter for my uncle and his wife who work in a department store.
In addition to the care from their aunts, their uncles are more concerned about their status in the army, their majors, and their future development directions.
The people in the room chatted until after eleven o'clock before they dispersed.
The next day, Xu Gang and Chen Meiyu took a day off and took their children for a tour around Hai City. They also went to the department store where their uncle worked to do some big shopping. They mainly bought some daily necessities and Hai City specialties for Xu Jianbing, Xu Jianjun, Xu Manman and Chen Ming, the four children who were studying in other places.
The most common items Xu Manman bought were dry goods and ingredients. She found a lot of fried pork skins at the grocery counter, which are best used to make soup.
As for my eldest and second brothers, many of their things were unusable, so I bought some underwear, socks, and some daily necessities, and of course, a lot of snacks, dried meat, and the like.
These things were not urgently needed, so after leaving the department store, I went directly to the post office to pack and send them away.
By the way, she got the ticket for tomorrow from her uncle. The yard in Beijing City has been prepared, so she has to go there in advance to clean it up. So she and Chen Ming will also leave with her eldest brother tomorrow, but they will take a different train.
As for the second brother Xu Jianjun, he arrived on the same day he left, so his departure time was two days later than theirs.
