Aunt Cuilan pointed to the other two rows of houses and said, "Those two rows are basically all occupied. Usually, when people want to buy something, they all go in groups.
When they get married, we can invite them along.
You see, in our front yard, there are some girls who have a good sense of style and like decoration, so they planted trees, flowers and plants there.
But most of them froze to death in winter, so they are of no use.
People of our age basically grow some vegetables.
Some people even dug a cellar in the yard, so that radishes and cabbages can be stored for a longer period of time.”
Aunt Zhao looked in the direction of her finger and discovered that each courtyard was quite large.
Some people put a lounge chair in the yard. While the sun is out, they lie there, eating melon seeds and basking in the warm sun. It's so comfortable.
After passing the first row of houses, Aunt Zhao also saw the small courtyards at the back, which were mostly planted with vegetables.
Aunt Zhao hesitated for a while before asking in a low voice, "So how do you usually use water?"
Cuilan's smile widened, and she pointed to the edge of each row: "There is a manhole in each row, not far away.
When the men in the family come back at night, they will fill up the water tank.
If you find it troublesome to wash clothes or do other things, you can go to the well to wash them. Several masters have built several pools there together. "
When she said this, Aunt Cuilan's face showed a bit of pride, obviously among the gentlemen she was talking about, there were people from her family.
The further they went, the bigger the yard and the house became, and a look of envy appeared on Aunt Cuilan's face.
She put one hand to her mouth and whispered to Aunt Zhao, "Although we don't pay attention to those twists and turns in our army, we still have to please those who should be pleased.
Look at the rows at the back, they are all high-ranking military officers, and even when meeting their family members, they have to show courtesy to them.”
Aunt Zhao nodded repeatedly. No matter which unit it was, it was a small society when taken out alone.
The practices used in official circles are basically applicable to every unit.
Zhao Yingying, who was walking in front, had a look of excitement on her face. The yard of this place was exactly what she wanted.
She and Ningxia were chattering non-stop in the front. Aunt Zhao looked at this scene and lowered her eyes silently.
Suddenly, the sound of a child crying was heard not far away.
Aunt Zhao was startled by the noise and she looked up quickly.
"What's going on?"
She didn't wait for the answer from the people around her. She turned around and saw Cuilan rushing forward.
She raised her hands to protect the child behind her, and another aunt who heard the noise snatched the ruler from the woman's hand.
Aunt Cuilan said quickly, "Big sister, look at what you are doing? Why are you beating Zhuangzhuang?"
The woman had neat short hair and was wearing washed-out clothes. She said with shaking hands in anger, "Ask him what he did?
He actually learned to fight with others. Is this what I taught him?
I said a few words to him and he talked back, do you think I should hit him?"
Wen Shize and Ningxia also hurried over. When Zhuangzhuang saw Wen Shize, he let out a "woop" and pounced on him.
"Brother Shi Ze, there is a reason why I fought with someone. That person scolded me and said that I was a fatherless bastard..."
Zhuangzhuang roared and cried at the same time, which made everyone's face change.
Before, Zhuangzhuang was afraid of making his mother sad, so he kept silent, so his mother didn’t know why he fought with others.
Now, hearing this reason suddenly, he stood there in a daze with a stiff expression.
The next moment, her eyes were red. She turned her back and wiped her tears. Just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by Aunt Cuilan's angry shout.
"Who? Which bastard? If you can't help me, I'll beat him to death!"
The other aunts all rolled up their sleeves and ran back home to get feather dusters.
"Zhuangzhuang, come on, who said that? Auntie will take you to the door."
The women were quick and swift in their movements and spoke harshly, which gave Zhuangzhuang full confidence.
He stood up straight and said, "It's a person who went to school with me nearby. They live in the forest farm next door."
A group of women were about to move forward in a hurry. Aunt Cuilan walked to Aunt Zhao's side embarrassedly and said to her, "I'm going to take care of some household matters first. Sister, we can talk later if we have anything to say."
Aunt Zhao nodded repeatedly and watched them go away.
Wen Shize was about to follow, but was stopped by the short-haired woman: "Xiao Wen, this is your wife, I heard that you are here to visit the family compound, go quickly.
We can handle the situation, and if that doesn’t work, we still have the leaders.”
Zhuangzhuang's mother said this hurriedly and left quickly.
Aunt Zhao was truly shocked by the scene before her.
Wen Shize knew that the aunts could handle the matter, so he didn't bother with it anymore.
He loosened his clenched fists, and Huanhuan said to Aunt Zhao, "Aunt, the yard we are assigned is just in front, let's go over and take a look."
Aunt Zhao nodded absentmindedly, and when she was almost at the yard, she suddenly stopped.
She looked at Wen Shize cautiously: "Xiao Wen, may I ask you something? What happened just now?"
This was not a big secret. Wen Shize briefly explained the matter: "His father was the commander of the third battalion. He died heroically during a mission."
"So they will live in the staff quarters in the future? Is this allowed?"
Aunt Zhao's voice was a little anxious. Realizing that what she said was a little inappropriate, she adjusted the hair beside her ears and said embarrassedly, "I'm just a little curious."
Wen Shize smiled and said, "Of course it is allowed. Apart from not being allowed to divide the house, the children and spouse can continue to live in it if they do not have other housing conditions.
In addition, there will be certain subsidies for both education and medical conditions.
It is impossible to say that there is no intrigue in the yard.
But the children were raised by their aunts, and if any of their families were bullied by outsiders, the aunts would come to their doorstep.
That's why Aunt Cuilan and the others rushed out in a hurry just now."
Aunt Zhao was about to open her mouth to ask something, when suddenly Ningxia's voice came from the other side: "Aunt, come quickly."
In this regard, Aunt Zhao could only suppress her excitement and walked quickly towards the two little girls.
The big red flower on the door was specially hung by Wen Shize in the morning.
Zhao Yingying stood aside and joked, "Oh, I didn't expect Captain Wen to be capable of this."
Ningxia blushed and spat at her: "You are so poor!"
