Chapter 136 How many legs does it take?
136
Chang Yin and Master Kang both frowned slightly after hearing Tang Shengkai's unconscious question. Master Kang asked Chang Yin.
"Who arranged this? Wasn't it made clear?"
Chang Yin was about to mention Wang Ming when he suddenly remembered that day when Wang Ming sent Tang Shengkai and his family here. Chang Yin received the task and immediately sent someone to take Wang Ming away. According to the time, Wang Ming should only be able to reach this house.
It seems that Wang Ming did not mention this matter on the way.
Chang Yin directly expressed his guess, and now everyone in the room understood that this matter almost caused a misunderstanding.
Tang Shengkai still found it a little unbelievable. He really wanted to ask, how could an ordinary soldier like him deserve to live in a family compound? But looking at his daughter beside him, Tang Shengkai felt an immense sense of pride. Yes! Her father couldn't do it, but he could rely on his daughter.
This family compound wasn't specifically allocated to him, but to his daughter. His whole family benefited from his daughter's presence. Well, he had to be even nicer to his daughter from now on.
After Tang Yue confirmed this, she repeated what Aunt Kong had said in the staff quarters today in front of Commander Kang and Zeng Chen.
Commander Kang's face darkened visibly, "Let's go back and ask Sun Jiming who said those things.
Go back and talk to the men in those families, and then tell those nagging women that if they feel they can't stay in the family compound, they can go back to their hometown."
Chang Yin felt very sorry. If they hadn't made proper arrangements, Tang Yue's family wouldn't have been bullied here.
Zeng Chen's face was not looking good either. Although he knew very little about Tang Yue's family, and he had no idea that the little girl was so powerful, he was the one who brought this family here after all. Aren't these people's words just a slap in his face?
Zeng Chen thought secretly that he would have to go back and have a good talk with the superiors of those guys.
Tang Shengkai felt that Commander Kang's words were quite harsh, and he wanted to plead for those people. He thought that this was too harsh, thinking that they all lived in the same family compound and would see each other every day.
Just like when they live in a village, there are always a few gossipy people who can't stand other good people.
If they make enemies in the staff quarters as soon as they arrive, their lives will be difficult in the future.
But when he thought about it, he realized that those people were talking about his wife and children. If he asked for mercy, how could it be fair to them? He couldn't bring himself to say it.
Seeing that it was getting late outside, Tang Yue took out a blueprint from her pocket. It happened to be the one she had drawn directly after repairing the black box. Before she could take it out when she went to Mayor Kang's place, Commander Kang hurriedly drove them out.
"What is this?" Commander Kang asked in confusion.
"After I repaired the black box, I drew out the structure inside. This is the structural diagram. I changed some parts that I felt were unreasonable."
"Has it been changed?" Mayor Kang asked with certainty.
Tang Yue nodded. "Well, take the black box back with you. I've modified quite a few things. If it doesn't work, try installing it again and see if it works better than before."
The silence was deafening. Put it back? Try? How? Where?
They freed that thing from a US warship, but the warship sank.
That was developed using the latest technology from the United States. They don't have that thing in China at all.
Seeing that no one said anything, Tang Yue was a little confused and handed the paper forward. Commander Kang quickly came back to his senses and reached out to take the drawing drawn by Tang Yue.
Tang Yue didn't know why everyone was silent, but she still explained, "This thing should still be able to receive signals."
Hearing this, several people who were emotionally stable couldn't help but swallow silently.
Commander Kang couldn't sit still again, "Well, that's it for today. I'll go back first. If you have any problems in the future, just go to Chang Yin directly."
Tang Yue had no objection. After sending a few people out, Tang Shengkai and Tang Yue returned to the house together.
He hugged Tang Yue into his arms and said, "My daughter, you really make your father proud."
Tang Yue smiled happily.
Now that it was confirmed that this was their own house and no one in the family compound knew their exact details, Tang Yue felt that she finally had a place to spend money.
Chang Yin was asked to find a skilled craftsman in the border town to make a complete set of furniture. The house was made entirely of brick walls, with the exposed surface. Tang Yue thought it looked ugly, so Old Li plastered the walls with mud.
After smoothing it out, I found some white lime and water and applied a few more layers on the mud. When it dried, the whole house was white and bright, and I felt a lot more open and bright when I was inside.
In the past few days, many neighbors have passed by my house. Some came in to say hello, and some just asked a few questions at the door.
At first, Tang Yue didn't understand what was going on. It wasn't until Xu Zhenfei brought his mother over that she realized Aunt Kong's husband had been called in by the military for questioning. He'd been given a serious warning for not managing his household properly.
Aunt Kong was also criticized throughout the entire family compound for her gossip. A list of people criticized for lax thinking and conduct was posted at the compound's gate. Aunt Kong's name was first on the list.
She was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to leave the house these days. She also had several big arguments with her at home because her husband was given a serious warning. Her husband even threatened her directly that if she didn't behave herself, he would send her back to the countryside.
The atmosphere in the family compound has completely changed these days. Even when people chat together, they no longer gossip about other people's affairs. What they say is all positive.
Although it is not so lifelike, Tang Yue thinks it is good.
Xu Zhenfei's mother was very talkative and had often come to chat with Lin Cuicui in recent days. Lin Cuicui finally felt a sense of belonging here.
When Chang Yin asked someone to deliver furniture to Tang Yue's family, it almost caused a sensation in the entire family compound.
The two truckloads of stuff shocked many of the sisters-in-law. How many legs does that have? What's the origin of this family? They look so impressive. If Aunt Kong hadn't been criticized a few days ago, they would have wondered if this was a bit too capitalistic.
However, something had just happened with Mrs. Kong, so no one dared to rush into the situation. They just stared at each other, their minds tacitly understanding each other. They were determined not to speak out about these things first.
The furniture was all made of solid wood, with every detail polished to a smooth finish and coated with pine varnish. There was a light, refreshing fragrance that Tang Yue found quite pleasant.
Their house was quite large, and each room was quite spacious. They had five beds, all double.
Tang Yue had one for herself, Lin Cuicui and Tang Shengkai had one, Old Li had one, and the three Tangbei brothers shared two. When they put them together, it was bigger than the kang they used to sleep on in the village.
There was nothing in the house, such as tables and wardrobes. The ones we used before were all simply nailed together by Tang Shengkai, and they were not presentable.
This time, Tang Yue had all the wardrobes, desks, and benches in every room, as well as the small table and dining table in the main room.
Sofas weren't popular back then, and Tang Yue had no idea what they were. But she knew about the kind of chairs that could seat several people in a row. She drew a blueprint herself, and Chang Yin gave it to the craftsman over there.
This time, Chang Yin also brought back three row of chairs that could seat four people for her.
Tang Yue was quite satisfied with these items. The furniture in her home was now complete. On the way here, Tang Yue had heard a lot of news.
At least she was interested in both the sewing machine and the bicycle.
She remembered that there were tickets for these two items in her space. They should have been used by the spies to bribe people, but now they are all hers.
Tang Yue thought that she would have to discuss it with Lin Cuicui another day and buy these two things back.
However, she thought about her mother's ability to make a living, so it would be a bit difficult to ask her to pay for these two things.
Tang Yue suddenly felt a little regretful for giving all the money to Lin Cuicui.
Although the money is now in her space, her mother will always feel bad if she spends it without her mother's consent.
Tang Yue sighed. Forget it. She'd better see if she could negotiate a deal with the army soon. How about selling the drug she used to knock out those spies last time? Even if it wasn't often used, there was always a chance it might be useful.
