She didn't need to worry about anything else. After hearing the simple promises and knowing that life would be better after moving, the family members were all in high spirits. Their previous worries disappeared, and their hearts were full of anticipation for the new life.
So they really spared no effort in promoting it.
Of course, not everyone believes it. Some people, after the initial excitement, start to think more deeply. The main issue is that construction has just begun. Not to mention anything else, even moving will take at least a year. And even if you want to see results, it's not something that can be done immediately.
No matter how much they think, people nowadays are pragmatic, and this matter concerns the military region. Regardless of their thoughts, most of them believe it deep down.
Simple doesn't expect to increase the population much through this public opinion; it's just doing its best.
The family compound now houses a portion of the actual military dependents, who are the families of soldiers serving on the border. Because the area was sparsely populated when the land was being reclaimed and developed, there were no restrictions on military dependents. At that time, there were some military dependents, but not many.
It was only after the land reclamation in this area yielded results that the amount of land gradually increased.
Most of them were veterans who were recalled from all over the country later, along with their families.
The follow-up visits to veterans have been ongoing since the beginning, and even now, there are still dedicated personnel conducting follow-up visits based on the list of veterans from previous years. Those who are dissatisfied with their current situation or intend to return are investigated and found to have credible backgrounds. Regardless of whether they were veterans from this unit or from other military regions, they are all accepted.
In addition, this year, some of the troops stationed here have a need to retire for various reasons, while others have chosen to stay on the land where they have served for several years, ten years, or even more than ten years.
Veterans already make up a large portion of the population.
Perhaps for this reason, everyone has some connection with them, but after all, this is a military region, and there are military regulations to govern it. Everyone is here for a better life and they all care about their reputation, so it's easier to get along with them. There are almost no cases of petty theft like in the village.
At most, it's like the previous situation of favoring sons over daughters, which is a relatively common phenomenon in this era. It can only be said that it is impossible to completely eliminate it. However, ideological and political classes are almost always chanting slogans about gender equality. There is even a political commissar named Qin Qinghuai setting an example. The old man of the Qin family would parade around with his granddaughter every day. The attitude was self-evident, and many people paid more attention to and valued the girls in their families.
In addition, the previous two incidents have shown everyone the leaders' attitude: even if they don't like girls, they don't dare to go too far openly.
Leaving aside others, it's simple: whenever there's a family committee event, if it involves discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, family conflicts, disrespect towards parents-in-law, unkindness towards daughters-in-law, cold words and arbitrary beatings towards grandchildren, or even domestic violence against wives by men, in other words, they will not be friendly in their demeanor or even in their eyes.
Once or twice, some people even said things like, "Does the political commissar's family look down on them, the rural folks?" After all, Jian Dan has a temper. In the beginning, a platoon leader's sister came to live with the army, but she bullied her pregnant sister-in-law and even came to her to act pitiful. As a result, Jian Dan was so angry that she fainted. That time, she said herself, "Let's get to the point. I have a bad temper and I can't stand that nonsense. I came to live with the army, not to put on an act."
At that time, there were few family members, which shocked everyone. Since then, more and more people have come, and there are not many opportunities for her to make a move. However, she never hides her temper, which is well-known. Every move she makes leaves a deep impression.
Later, everyone realized that every time she got angry, it was because of those trivial things that they thought were normal, things that were bad for the elderly or children. As word spread, no one dared to go against her anymore.
To be fair, the current atmosphere in the family compound owes a small part to this.
The expansion here has been greatly boosted by the enthusiastic promotion from the families. However, it is not as simple as building a house. These civil engineering projects alone have taken several months to build until they can be roughly seen. Not to mention those who did the work themselves, even those who supervised the construction felt a great sense of accomplishment.
However, there is still a troublesome child. Despite being a political commissar's family member, he is frequently called in by his parents. Jian Dan is probably the person on site who can multitask the most.
Sure enough, before she even finished work, someone came to call her. It was Qin Jing, who was on patrol with her today.
"Third Aunt, go and see, my sister is fighting with someone."
My first instinct was to cover my head!
My second reaction was, "That brat is bullying me again!"
"What happened today? Whose things did you steal this time?"
"No, not exactly. It seems like some child snatched something from her. I overheard the teacher mention it, but I didn't understand, so she told me to come find you right away."
Although she was furious, she simply hurried off to take care of her son.
In the office, the two children were fighting like bulls, comparing whose eyes were bigger.
The little one's clothes were disheveled, his little topknot was loose and about to come undone, there was something on his face, he was holding a black plush animal in his arms, one hand on his hip, his expression was so fierce, and the flesh on his little face was trembling.
The guy opposite her was a head taller than her, a tall and thin man with two scratches on his face. His eyes were fixed on the furry thing in her hand, as if he was afraid that she might kill him if she was in a bad mood.
