Chapter 277 Entering the Courtyard
If it weren’t for a job change, Shen Zhiyou actually doesn’t like moving. She likes a familiar environment and a stable life.
So does Gu Ye.
The two have lived together for so many years, and many of their habits have influenced each other.
Or you can adapt to each other, adapt to each other's habits. After a long time, it becomes your own habit, engraved in your bones, and becomes a part of your life or even your life.
With the experience of moving last time, this move was a piece of cake.
Shen Guowang and Fan Yingnan stayed in the provincial capital. Fan Yingnan was pregnant, so she came to help them pack.
When packing up, Fan Yingnan and Shen Guowang were both reluctant to leave.
They used to live in the same compound, and during festivals, they would either go back to Fan Yingnan's parents' home for dinner, or come to Shen Zhiyou's home for dinner.
If Shen Zhiyou and Gu Ye need anything, they can just say hello and send the child over.
During the Chinese New Year, the two families can go home together.
Now that Gu Ye and his family have moved to the capital, it will probably be difficult for us to see each other except when they go home for the Chinese New Year.
However, Shen Guowang was also a generous person. After he was sad, he smiled and said, "There is no direct train from the provincial capital to our place. When we have to go back, you two can rest here first, and we can go together the next day."
"OK."
"When you have time, come visit the capital. I'll write to you when you get there. Mom and Dad also want to go to the capital, so we'll go together then."
"Okay then."
Shen Guowang grinned.
After Gu Ye's transfer order came down, they sent part of the things over first, carried part of them themselves, and there was still some left, so Shen Guowang would help them send it over after they left.
"We now have buses that go to the provincial capital. I'm familiar with the people in their fleet. When the time comes, I'll just ask them to take us there. It'll be quick this way."
"Write to us when you get there."
Shen Zhiyou nodded and looked at Fan Yingnan's belly with a smile on her face: "Aunt is leaving and won't be able to see the baby being born."
Fan Yingnan lowered her head, her eyes full of tenderness: "When the time comes, we will take him to my aunt's house in the capital."
While packing their luggage, Shen Guowang was still smiling as if nothing had happened.
When he arrived at the train station and saw Shen Zhiyou and the others sitting in the carriage waving at him, he couldn't help but seethe with tears in his eyes.
On the way back in the car, he hugged his wife's arm and cried silently.
Fan Yingnan looked helpless and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, go back and cry later."
Shen Guowang nodded with red eyes. If Chen Cuijuan saw it, she would definitely scold him, just like his father Shen Dahe!
The family has taken the train to the capital countless times.
Don't be too familiar.
And after Gu Ye was promoted this time, the supporting facilities are also different from before.
The tickets purchased were all high-end soft sleeper tickets, which Gu Ye had not been able to buy before.
The premium soft sleeper is much more comfortable than the ordinary soft sleeper. There are only two to four people in one carriage and it is close to the dining car and everything.
As soon as the train arrived at the station, they saw a soldier standing at the door of their carriage.
"Hello, Chief Gu! I am your bodyguard Gao Wu!"
"Hello."
As far as Tuantuan and Yuanyuan can remember, their father has had a bodyguard, so the children didn't think it was strange and followed Gao Wu out.
As I exited the train station, I saw a green jeep.
Gao Wu helped them put their luggage into the trunk, started the car, and headed for the Capital Military Region Cadre Compound.
The capital is developing faster and faster every year. Every time they come, Shen Zhiyou and his friends can't help but sigh that the capital has changed so much.
The new cadre compound is very close to the train station, only twenty minutes’ drive away.
When they were almost there, they discovered that the road was lined with various "cadre compounds".
They are all from different units, the municipal government, various bureaus, and various departments are all on this line.
Including Capital Television, where Shen Zhiyou is about to join, are all on this line.
According to Gao Wu, this row of cadre compounds are all extended along the mansion of a prince in the past.
A series of cultural and sports institutions, including Capital University and Capital Sports Training Center, are also nearby.
Shen Zhiyou listened to Gao Wu's introduction and said happily, "Then Tuan Tuan will be closer to school, and Man Man will also be closer to training."
Manman won the gold medal in last year's National Women's Rhythmic Gymnastics Competition and was officially selected for the Beijing team. Even her former coach Feng Qin was transferred over.
Once we are settled, we will resume training and start preparing for the adult competitions.
After passing about three courtyards with sentries standing guard, they finally arrived at the courtyard of Gu Ye's unit.
The process is the same as before, get off the vehicle and register, the sentry comes over to check the people and belongings in the vehicle and then salutes and lets you go.
They have been living in the cadre compound over the years, but this time, it somehow felt different and more solemn.
Its structure is the same as that of the cadre compound in the provincial capital, with rows of five-story tube buildings, then apartment houses, and finally rows of small stand-alone buildings.
Their car stopped in front of a small building located further away.
The house here is more spacious than the one they live in the provincial capital. It still has six rooms, but the difference is that there are bathrooms on the first and second floors.
The things that happened afterwards were all very familiar. The house was cleaned, furniture was collected, and things were put away.
The next day, Gu Ye went to report, and Shen Zhiyou arranged for the children to transfer to another school.
I went directly to the corresponding schools for the compound, Yucai Junior High School and Yucai Senior High School. Because of my father's work relationship, the transfer process went smoothly.
The children had good grades, special talents and good personalities, and they quickly integrated into the new class.
Shen Zhiyou adapted to her new job quickly.
The TV station is very close to the cadre compound and there is a direct bus. Gu Ye bought her a ladies' bicycle. It is three bus stops away and ten minutes by bike, which is closer than the provincial capital before.
But in order to familiarize herself with the surrounding environment, she would take a walk around after get off work every day.
The geographical location here seems to be very neat, with the roads spreading out in a circular shape around the central point, so you don't have to worry about not knowing the way.
In addition to getting familiar with the environment, Shen Zhiyou has another purpose for taking a walk around every day, which is to see what the surrounding houses are like, whether there are any suitable houses for sale, and to inquire about the market conditions.
Buying and selling houses in the capital is no longer a rare thing now, and there are already several commercial housing communities in the capital.
But they have a large family and the commercial housing is not enough.
Moreover, Shen Zhiyou and Gu Ye both come from rural areas, and they prefer bungalows to those high-rise buildings.
Therefore, Shen Zhiyou's first choice was some courtyards near the cadre compound.
After working in the unit for a while, Shen Zhiyou had a deeper understanding of the capital and learned that there was a type of people here called house bugs, namely the real estate agents in the port city.
Shen Zhiyou and Gu Ye discussed it and asked someone to introduce a house bug who was very famous in their area.
As soon as the other party heard their needs, they immediately found a house that met their requirements.
"This is it. The courtyard as you enter, the main house, the east and west wing rooms add up to five rooms, and there is also an annex. The rooms are very spacious, and there is enough space for the six people in your family!"
