After getting off the train, Xu Jianguo looked around and soon saw Chen Jin in the crowd. He then smiled and walked towards him with Wen Sitian and the child.
Because of Xu Jianguo's height and the fact that he was wearing a military uniform, he was particularly eye-catching in the bustling crowd. Chen Jin saw Xu Jianguo walking towards him at a glance.
Chen Jin smiled and shouted, "Jianguo!", then quickly walked up to him.
Two young men in Zhongshan suits came with him. Xu Jianguo only needed to take a glance at them to confirm their identities. They must be guards from the Central Security Bureau.
"Uncle Chen!" Xu Jianguo came to Chen Jin and shouted with a smile.
"Hello Uncle Chen, hello Grandpa Chen..." Except for Lele who was sleeping soundly on Xu Jianguo's shoulder, Wen Sitian and the four little ones also greeted Chen Jin politely.
"Well, well, welcome to Jingzhou!" Chen Jin said with a smile, and then waved to the two guards behind him. Seeing this, the two hurried forward and took the luggage carried by Xu Jianguo and his family.
"Let's go, the car is outside. Let's take you to your residence first, and then we can talk on the way!"
"good!"
The group did not follow the crowd towards the exit, but followed Chen Jin into a two-story building next to the platform, then went out from another door and came to the parking lot.
At this time, there were three jeeps with military license plates parked there. Next to each jeep, there was a soldier in military uniform showing off his pistol.
"Hello, Chief!" When the three soldiers saw Chen Jin and Xu Jianguo and their group coming out of the small building, they quickly raised their hands to salute them.
Upon seeing this, Xu Jianguo quickly moved his daughter to his left hand and raised his right arm to return the military salute.
Because Chen Jin was wearing casual clothes, he just nodded slightly at them.
After putting all the luggage into the trunk of the car, Xu Jianguo handed Lele to Wen Sitian, and then followed Chen Jin into the first jeep.
Wen Sitian held Lele and led Wenwen to the second car, while Daya and the other two got into the last car.
After the train arrived at the station, Fu Bo and Du Yu returned to the space on their own.
After everyone got on the bus, the three cars slowly drove away from Jingzhou Railway Station and headed towards the red-walled courtyard.
"How was your vacation?" Chen Jin asked with a smile.
"Not bad. The village has changed a lot. It is much better than a few years ago. At least no one is hungry now." Xu Jianguo said.
"Haha, the leader will definitely like what you said. This just shows that our country is developing positively."
"How are the old men? Is Grandpa Zhou healthy?"
"Everything is fine. I remind them to drink the medicinal wine on time every day, and all three of them are in good spirits every day!"
"That's good! Uncle Chen, don't just remind them, remember to drink too!"
"Don't worry, I've remembered everything!"
"Where is my new home arranged? Have all the luggage from Davari been sent over?"
"The luggage has arrived a long time ago! As for your new home, there were two options before. One was a small building in the military compound of the Guard Bureau, and the other was a courtyard house outside the imperial city. The small building is not large, but it is safe. The courtyard house is large enough, but it is an open area. Originally, the chief wanted to wait for you to come and let you choose it yourself, but in the end it was Grandpa Su who made the final decision. Do you want to guess which one he chose for you?" Chen Jin asked Xu Jianguo with a smile.
Xu Jianguo thought about it, then grinned and said, "Is there any need to think about this? With Grandpa Su's personality, he will definitely choose the military compound!"
Chen Jin gave Xu Jianguo a thumbs-up and said, "Great! How did you know that?"
"Grandpa Su and Grandpa Wu both live in the compound, right?"
"right!"
"That's fine. From what I know about them, those two old men would love to live with the kids. How could they possibly let me go?"
"That's exactly what happened! Actually, the commanders initially chose a two-story house in Chizi Hutong, near the Forbidden City, considering your family's size. However, Commanders Su and Wu felt it wasn't safe for you to live outside given your current status. Furthermore, although you're planning to work at the Longke Academy, your relationship is still with the military, and the Security Bureau compound is very close to where you work. So, after several days of deliberation, the commanders decided it would be best for you to live in the military compound."
“Is there a kindergarten or school in the compound?”
"In addition to high school, there are schools from kindergarten to junior high school. The children's enrollment and admission procedures have been completed, so they can go anytime."
Xu Jianguo nodded, very satisfied with this arrangement. However, he still needed to ask about Daya's future high school education. If the situation improved and high school classes resumed, the girl would definitely be very happy.
After thinking for a moment, he continued, "You just said that the small building is small? How small can it be exactly?"
"The first floor is a study, living room, kitchen, dining room and bathroom. The second floor has only three bedrooms besides a bathroom and storage room, so the children may need to squeeze in."
Xu Jianguo sketched out the floor plan in his mind according to Chen Jin's description. He had to admit that it was indeed a bit small, but there was nothing he could do about it. He could only wait until he got there before making plans.
Fortunately, he has a system space. At worst, he can let the children sleep in the space at night, or directly convert the study on the first floor into a bedroom.
