Chapter 204 Why should I give you separate rooms?
Zhao Yue raised the key and said, "The report has been approved, and we have a house. I'll take you to see it now."
"We have a house?" Su Jinxia didn't expect that they would have a house so soon.
Looking at the key in her hand, I felt a little excited about the new house.
Wu Guixiang rushed out of the toilet, "What were you talking about just now, you have a house!
Why? I’ve been waiting for months.”
Thinking about the fact that this man had been in the army for so many years and had not been given a house.
Zhao Yue is obviously a few years younger than her husband, but she was allocated a house because of her high position.
Looking at the person who suddenly appeared.
Su Jinxia took the key and said, "What do you care?" Then she pulled Zhao Yue's arm and said, "Let's go and see the new house!"
This woman must be upset again, so don't disturb her mood for house viewing.
Zhao Yue thought the same thing in his heart, so he turned around and left.
Seeing the two of them leave, Wu Guixiang slapped her thigh and followed them.
For fear of being discovered, they kept some distance.
Su Jinxia noticed that she was following him, "This woman is really sick. She can't stand seeing others live a good life."
"Don't pay attention to her. If her husband doesn't go wrong this year, he will be on the discharge list. You won't see them next time you come."
"Because of age?"
"In every aspect! His physical strength and brain are no longer good. It would be better for him to retire and find a job to spend the rest of his life in peace.
The current policy is okay. After returning, he can become a public security officer or work in the government. It is actually much better than being on the island."
"That's true. Life here is hard."
Walking forward along the path, Su Jinxia realized that there were quite a few houses behind, with several families living next to each other.
Some of them seem to share a yard, with perhaps dozens of households living in them.
Zhao Yue pointed to the left and said, "The foundation over there has been laid. We are waiting for funding from above. If the money can be approved this year, the building over here will be built. Then the wives of soldiers who want to follow the army can come and live here."
"The building is nice, but I still prefer the yard."
"Old Xiao's house is an independent courtyard. It was previously occupied by the leader, and he moved in after he left. The house is well preserved and is right in front."
"Then we are really lucky to have arrived."
After turning a corner, I saw the house. It was not very big and there were no residents next to the independent door.
After pushing the door open, I saw that the yard was quite large, but there wasn't much planted there, just a row of green onions.
The door is locked.
After using the key to open the door, I saw the scene inside.
The outer room is the kitchen, and on the left and right are the living rooms.
There were simple cupboards inside, and the walls were covered with newspapers. Everything looked spotlessly clean.
We cleaned the room before leaving. The kang is very big and can easily accommodate four or five people.
"Really nice." Su Jinxia thought the size was just right. There's a saying that goes, "Although the sparrow is small, it has everything," and that's exactly what this house is like.
It was so convenient to think that there was a well in the yard, which meant I didn’t have to go out to fetch water.
“Do I need to decorate the house before getting married?”
"It can only be arranged simply." Zhao Yue put his arm around Su Jinxia, "It's really too hasty. I'm sorry to have wronged you. Otherwise, we can postpone the wedding until next time we come back."
"No need, it's fine here." Su Jinxia pondered the things in the space. "The clothes I wear are here, and there are new beddings. Now all that's missing is to put up wedding characters in the yard and on the walls. As for daily necessities, we can add them later."
"Are we settled then? We'll have the wedding banquet tomorrow." Zhao Yue was so happy when he thought that he had finally married the person he loved.
"Okay! I'm willing to marry you." Su Jinxia put her arm around the man's waist. They had done a lot of intimate things recently.
It's just one step away from completion. It can be done tomorrow night, and this guy won't be able to get away anymore.
Wu Guixiang stood at the door and looked inside. She was almost going crazy. How could it be like this?
They just divided the houses, and the best one was given to them.
Some time ago, she heard from others that a senior leader of the army was going to be transferred to another place, which meant that his house would be vacant.
She didn't intend to live in this house, hoping that someone else would move in and then the house would be vacant, and maybe it would be his family's turn to have a house.
Her husband has been in the army for so many years, and in her mind he deserves to be allocated a house.
As long as she has a house, she will have roots on the island, and then no one will dare to look down on her.
Now I tell her clearly that her dream has been realized easily.
Just because that man is a big leader, on what basis?
Thinking of this, she left angrily. She wanted to go back and tell everyone that they protected each other and gave each other backdoors.
Su Jinxia saw the people leave and said, "Wu Guixiang is going to make trouble again."
"If she makes trouble, she will ruin her man's future. There is a difference between a legitimate discharge and a forced discharge."
"How is it different?"
"The local authorities are not stupid. The handover time for retired soldiers is different. If you don't return to your hometown at a proper time, it means you have committed some crime here. How can you possibly arrange a good job for them?
The reason why jobs are arranged for discharge is because the military is a place with a lot of personal connections. If the assignment is not done properly, a phone call will be made to the higher-ups and the place will be dealt with.
If it is forced discharge, then it is different. The higher-ups will not protect it, and the local authorities will not be able to manipulate it!"
"That makes sense." Su Jinxia checked her watch. "Then shall we take a bus and go shopping now?"
"Let's go find Lao Yuan first. According to military regulations, if we want to host a banquet, we have to pay for it ourselves."
"Is 500 enough?"
"It won't cost that much. Two hundred yuan is enough. Buy some meat and bones."
"If you're going to do it, do it well. Besides, we've separated into different rooms. As the saying goes, you should be grateful to your friends. Those people are also your brothers. There's nothing wrong with eating well."
"Then I'll listen to you. Let's make the wedding banquet a good one so that everyone can have a good meal."
After they had discussed it, they locked the door and went to the cafeteria first.
It was already past dinner time and several people were cleaning.
They went straight to the back kitchen door and found Lao Yuan peeling potatoes.
Seeing them coming, Lao Yuan wiped his hands on his apron.
"How did you get here?"
"It's like this, the house has been approved, thanks to you for reminding me." Zhao Yue sat on a bench beside him, and naturally picked up a peeling knife and started to beat the potatoes.
Su Jinxia looked at the bowls in the cafeteria. Besides potatoes, there was also fish. To the left, she saw a large bowl of Chinese cabbage.
"Is there cabbage soup for lunch today?"
