The next morning, He Dongchuan went out before dawn as expected.
Su Ting slept until half past six when she was woken up by the alarm clock. It was still dark and the sky was gray. The temperature seemed to have dropped again. After putting on a sweater, she stood there thinking for a while and took out a thick woolen coat from her luggage.
After getting dressed neatly, Su Ting went to the second bedroom and called the brother and sister to get up.
The two children still refused to get up, but Su Ting still maintained a tough attitude. She first picked up Manman and dressed her. Hearing her sister crying, He Yan couldn't sleep even if he wanted to.
After taking her time to wash up, it was almost seven o'clock. Because He Yan had to go to school, Su Ting didn't delay any longer. She took the money and ticket and took the child to have breakfast.
Because they didn't want to get up, the two children were a little depressed when the cold wind blew after they went out. However, this state did not last long. When they entered the cafeteria and smelled the aroma of food, the brother and sister raised their heads and looked forward to it.
Today, both the brother and sister wanted to eat foot wraps, so Su Ting ordered one and bought each of them a cup of soy milk. She took a bite of the big pancake and ate it with tofu pudding. It tasted very good.
After breakfast, Su Ting returned to the guesthouse to put away her things and took her two children to school.
The military district primary school is outside the family compound and covers a large area. It has an L-shaped teaching building with three floors on both sides. The ground is paved with flooring, the outer walls are plastered with lime, and the bottom is painted with half-person-high green paint, which is quite similar to the classroom in Su Ting's memory.
In addition to ordinary classrooms, the teaching building also has music and dance classrooms. The former has a piano, and the latter has mirrors covering the front wall. Just looking at these, the military elementary school here is much better than the one on Pingchuan Island.
The teachers' offices are in the short building. There are two on the first floor. There are ten teachers in each office. There are about twenty teachers and staff in the school in total.
Su Ting came here yesterday and knew which class He Yan would be assigned to. After arriving, she went straight into the second office and found a teacher named Li Yuezhen.
Like the Hepingchuandao Military District Primary School, the military district primary school in the Shanghai base also gave priority to military wives when recruiting teachers. However, because the requirements were relatively high and a high school degree or above was required, the teaching team included not only military wives, but also local people who had attended high school and educated youth who came here to work in the countryside.
Li Yuezhen was an educated youth who went to the countryside. However, she was not from another place. Her family lived in the city. Because she was a daughter of a noble family, her family was reluctant to let her go far away, so they used their connections to bring her here. Firstly, this place was close to home, and secondly, there were troops stationed nearby, so there was no need to worry about the daughter of a noble family being bullied.
Li Yuezhen is not very old, she just turned 20 this year. She went to the countryside after graduating from high school two years ago.
She was also lucky. When she went to the countryside, there was a shortage of teachers in the military primary school. She had sufficient education and had always been at the top of her class, so she passed the recruitment exam very smoothly and became a teacher in the military primary school.
Before going to the countryside, Li Yuezhen had never thought about becoming a teacher, but after she became a teacher, she realized how lucky she was when she saw the educated youth who had gone to the countryside with her working hard every day.
Therefore, she is very grateful for this job and treats the students in her class very attentively.
Su Ting asked the staff at the guesthouse before asking the principal to arrange He Yan to Class 2, Grade 4.
After the transfer was agreed yesterday, the principal arranged for Li Yuezhen to meet with them, so when she looked up and saw Su Ting appear outside, she came out and asked, "Comrade Su, classmate He Yan, you are here?"
"Hello, teacher." He Yan greeted.
Slowly follow and learn: "Hello, teacher."
"Hello, classmate He Yan," Li Yuezhen replied, and then said to Su Ting, "Man Man is really well behaved. How old is she?"
Su Ting said: "One and a half years old."
Li Yuezhen asked: "You can speak so clearly at the age of one and a half?"
"She likes to learn whatever anyone says." Su Ting said with a smile. Because she has the nature of a parrot, her speaking skills have improved very quickly.
Li Yuezhen praised: "This child is smart."
Su Ting thanked her. Knowing that she was busy as a teacher, she did not stay long. After a few pleasantries, she said, "Then Xiaoyan, please help me, Teacher Li?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of He Yan." Li Yuezhen said with a smile, lowered her head and let He Yan say goodbye to Su Ting and slowly.
He Yan waved his hand and said, "Goodbye, Mom, and goodbye, sister!"
Man Man, who was sitting in Su Ting's arms, twisted her body and waved goodbye to her brother, and added a sentence: "See you at dinner~" "Dan Fan" means lunch.
Li Yuezhen burst out laughing when she heard this. She waited until Su Ting walked away with the child in her arms before she lowered her head and said to He Yan, "I'll get you your textbook."
The textbooks used in Fujian and Shanghai are different, so after transferring here, He Yan’s previous textbooks could no longer be used and had to be purchased again, which was also the main reason for paying tuition again.
Leadership textbook, Li Yuezhen took He Yan to class.
It was morning reading time, and as they passed by, the classroom was filled with the sound of reading, until Li Yuezhen walked into the classroom, clapped her hands and said, "Everyone stop, I have something to announce."
After hearing her words, the students shut up from front to back.
When the classroom quieted down, Li Yuezhen said, "We have a new student transferred to our class. I hope you can take care of him, get along well with him, and help him adapt to our group as soon as possible. Can you do this?"
"Yes!" the students below answered in unison.
Li Yuezhen nodded with satisfaction, turned around and waved to He Yan who was standing outside the classroom door, motioning him to come in: "Student He Yan, please introduce yourself."
He Yan stood on the podium and looked down.
The classrooms at Hushi Jiji Primary School were about the same size as those on Pingchuan Island, but the number of students in the class was half that of the others, only about 30. At this moment, they all looked up at him, their eyes full of curiosity.
He Yan's heart gradually calmed down, and he said, "Hello everyone, my name is He Yan."
Li Yuezhen waited for half a minute, but didn't hear anything else, so she asked, "Why don't you introduce yourself to others, what are your specialties and hobbies?"
He Yan said "oh", thought for a moment and said, "I know martial arts, and I can knock down a kid who is half a head taller than me."
The smile on Li Yuezhen's face broke, and she said with a dry laugh: "Haha, classmate He Yan is really good at joking. Learning military boxing is good for keeping fit, but we don't advocate fighting. Do you have any other specialties?"
In the past, He Yan thought he knew a lot, but thinking back it seemed like nothing. He could sing OK, and he had acted in plays, but he only rehearsed for a while before the performances. Besides, there were so many people who could sing, so it didn't seem like a remarkable skill.
After thinking about it, He Yan asked uncertainly: "Does climbing a tree count?"
"We don't encourage students to climb trees." Li Yuezhen said softly. She seemed to have understood. The child looked well-behaved and his grades were good before he transferred to the school, but he was definitely not an honest child. She didn't dare to ask about his specialties. "Then, classmate He Yan, do you have any hobbies? For example, singing, dancing, etc." Don't tell her that her hobby is climbing trees.
He Yan understood what the teacher meant and said, "It's all OK."
"It seems that He Yan has a wide range of interests," Li Yuezhen concluded with a smile. She measured He Yan's height and asked, "By the way, are you nearsighted?"
“Not nearsighted.”
"Then I'll arrange for you to sit at the back of the classroom, is that okay?" Li Yuezhen asked. After getting a positive answer from He Yan, she pointed to the empty seats in the back row of the classroom and asked, "There are two empty seats left. You can sit wherever you want."
There are a total of thirty-five seats in the classroom, divided into five columns and seven rows in total. The two empty seats are both in the last row, but one is in the second row and the other is in the fifth row, right next to the window.
He Yan responded, picked up the book on the podium, walked to the last row and sat down by the window.
After settling the new students, Li Yuezhen stopped wasting time and let the children continue their morning reading. She walked to the boy in front of He Yan, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Student Zhu Binbin, the teacher has given you a task. Remember to communicate more with He Yan and try to help him adapt to our class as soon as possible. Can you do it?"
"Yes!" Zhu Binbin said loudly.
Li Yuezhen turned to He Yan and said, "You should communicate more with Zhu Binbin. You can ask him any questions you have. Of course, you can also come to the teacher directly. Don't be shy, okay?"
"I know." He Yan replied.
Li Yuezhen was satisfied, stood up and said, "The teacher is gone, Zhu Binbin, please take good care of the new students."
Zhu Binbin agreed immediately, and when Li Yuezhen left, he turned around, sat facing He Yan, and introduced himself, "My name is Zhu Binbin. Zhu is the Zhu of Zhu Yuanzhang, and Bin is the Bin of politeness."
It was the first time that He Yan heard someone introduce himself in this way. He hesitated for a moment and said, "My name is He Yan. He is... He in He Zhizhang, and Yan is Sanhuo Yan."
Zhu Binbin asked: "Who is He Zhizhang? How do you write the character yan in the Chinese character for three fires?"
He Yan was silent for a moment, took out a pen filled with ink, opened the textbook, wrote his name, and turned to Zhu Binbin to show him.
Zhu Binbin suddenly realized and asked, "Do you know how to write my name?"
"Didn't you already say that?" He Yan asked doubtfully.
"I did say that, but many people don't know what the Bin in politeness is."
He Yan was even more confused: "Since others don't know, why do you introduce yourself like this?"
Zhu Binbin said: "Because it sounds like this, people will think I am very smart."
He Yan thought that there was no point in introducing himself to show off his intelligence, as he would be exposed once they started talking. Just like now, he not only did not think Zhu Binbin was smart, but also thought he was a little silly.
…
While He Yan was chatting happily with his new friend, Su Ting took him to the Military Dependents Placement Office.
The military dependents resettlement office at the Shanghai base is larger than that on Pingchuan Island, with seven or eight offices on the first floor, more staff, and more complicated procedures.
光一個落戶手續，除了領導辦公室和會議室，其他辦公室她基本跑遍了，有的辦公室還不止去一次。
由此可見，人員多并不是什麽好事，明明一個人能解決的問題，非得要五六個人來辦，讓事情變得更加複雜的同時，也降低了工作效率。
本來蘇婷打算得好好的，把資料交上去後，就讓軍屬安置辦的工作人員帶她去看房子，要是合适，争取上午把房子定下來，下午她可以過去打掃，争取在行李寄到前，把房子收拾出來早日搬進去。
結果這一上午，她一直在忙活随軍落戶的資料，等資料真正交上去，也到中午下班時間了。
軍屬安置辦的人不可能為了她加班，看房子這事就被拖到了下午，以至于回招待所的路上，蘇婷一直情緒不佳。
直到跟賀焱彙合，從他口中得知上午認識了好幾個新朋友，蘇婷心情才漸漸好轉。
雖然軍屬安置辦的工作效率差了點，但至少資料順利提交了上去，快的話兩三天，慢的話七八天……
好吧，以軍屬安置辦那些人的工作效率，蘇婷覺得他們這戶口，大概率要一周左右才能落下來。
但不管早晚，戶口能落下來就行，而且賀焱在新環境裏适應良好，才一個上午時間，就認識了好幾個新朋友……所以，事情也算順利吧。
為了讓事情更順利，吃完飯把兩個孩子送回套房後，蘇婷沒有去睡覺，而是下到一樓大廳，找守在前臺的軍嫂聊天。
軍嫂叫張豔萍，性格跟餘小芳有點像，都很熱情，偏自來熟，之前就是她幫忙從廚房拿到的蔥姜，這兩天蘇婷他們吃的葷菜票，也都是跟她換的。
因為這些來往，兩人已經很熟悉，所以到樓下找到張豔萍後，蘇婷沒有拐彎抹角，直接說起那兩套房子：“都是三居室，房子裏面環境應該差不多，而且這兩天我在咱們大院裏轉了幾圈，覺得環境都挺好的。”
雖然大院裏的房子不是張豔萍的，但她随軍在這裏住了好幾年，早把這當成了自己家。聽蘇婷誇大院環境好，她心裏很驕傲，說：“那可不，我們大院是統一規劃蓋起來的，一水的樓房，就是領導們住的獨棟，也是照樓房蓋的，房屋裏面規劃得好好的，而且這些房子蓋起來沒幾年，房屋都新着呢。”
“我在外面看着也覺得房屋挺新，”蘇婷附和說，“就是不知道裏面寬不寬敞。”
“你們家不總共才兩個孩子？既然分到的是三居，你們住着肯定寬敞。”張豔萍忍不住感慨起來，“要說還是賀同志有本事，他今年不到三十吧？就已是副團了，級別高，所以你們分到的房子也好。”
樓房有三種戶型，兩居、三居和四居，房子剛蓋起來那會，随軍的人少，三居沒那麽稀罕，大家盯着的都是四居室。
但随着時間的推移，大院裏住的人越來越多，房子漸漸變得緊張起來，三居也就變得稀罕起來了。到現在，雖然沒有明文規定，但三居基本只分給副團及以上級別的幹部。
不過張豔萍家住的也是三居，所以她只是感慨，語氣裏并無羨慕和嫉妒。
蘇婷像是被點醒：“你說的有道理，我們家才四口人，怎麽住都夠，只是不知道這兩套房子上下的住戶好不好相處。”
“這個啊……”張豔萍陷入沉思。
蘇婷見她不說話，心思微動：“張姐，您也知道我們家是初來乍到，大院裏這些人，我們夫妻就認識您，我們也相信您，所以才想跟您打聽打聽這兩套房子裏的住戶性格。其實我也沒別的想法，就是擔心遇到特別不好相處的，以後三天兩頭吵架。”
“理解，這一棟樓住着，每天擡頭不見低頭見，碰上個性格不好的，确實糟心。”張豔萍說着思考起來，良久才遲疑道，“九棟和十棟裏的住戶吧，大部分都行。”
“那少部分呢？”
“少部分……其實就一個人，住九棟三零二的，脾氣不太好，隔三差五跟人吵架，十棟嘛，二零一性格也不太好，聽說是滬市本地人，市區的，學歷也高，人比較傲氣，不太搭理人。”
這一個三零二，一個二零一，可不都跟那兩套房子對門嗎？他們這是什麽運氣？僅剩兩套三居室，鄰居還都不太好相處。
蘇婷想了想繼續問：“那您知道，住九棟三零二的都是為什麽事跟人吵架嗎？”
“哎呦吵架原因可就多了，孩子打架啊，說話一言不合啊，她還總往樓下倒水，為這事，沒少跟樓下兩戶吵，關系僵着呢。”張豔萍說着反應過來問，“對了，你剛才說的六套那房子是不是三零一？”
“是。”
“我覺得啊，你選十棟那套房子吧，住到九棟去，以後肯定沒個消停時候，十棟這個吧傲氣看不起人是真的，但也可能因為不太願意搭理我們，沒跟人吵過架。”
說白了，九棟三零二就是火1藥桶，一點就炸，十棟對門鄰居雖然性格不太好，但住過去後頂多是互不來往，至少安靜。
蘇婷沒想過跟鄰居處成親人，前世她搬進自己的房子前，在公司附近一個小區住了三年，認識的人一個巴掌都能數的過來，其中還不包括對門的。
因此，蘇婷心裏也更傾向于十棟，九棟三零二的軍嫂，一聽就知道跟徐芬是一類人。
徐芬這人雖煩，至少住的離她家挺遠，要是住到九棟後沒跟人搞好關系，每天還要擡頭不見低頭見，想想就憋屈。
跟張豔萍打聽過後，蘇婷心裏就有數了。
雖然具體定哪套，還要看過房子，等晚上賀東川回來，跟他商量過後再做決定，但如果兩個房子差距不是特別大，他們大概率會選擇十棟二零二。
軍區小學下午也是兩點鐘上課，等賀焱去學校，蘇婷就帶着慢慢去了軍屬安置辦，找人帶她去看房子。
但找到相應的工作人員後，對方什麽都不說，只讓她在一邊等着。
剛開始蘇婷以為她有事，就真的在一邊等着，結果等了半天，也沒看到那人幹活，反而跟同事們聊得很起勁。
等了半個多小時，蘇婷忍不住了，走上去問：“同志，請問你現在能帶我去看房子了嗎？”
對方語氣冷淡：“我忙完了會叫你。”
“那請問你在忙什麽？聊天嗎？”
對方臉色冷下來：“我忙什麽跟你有關系嗎？都說了讓你在旁邊等着，你等着就是了，不樂意等回去也行，我不攔着你。”
“那你把鑰匙給我，我自己去看房子。”
“嗬！你口氣挺大啊！”對方挑眉，身子往左轉動座椅，仰頭看着蘇婷，“上頭規定了，手續齊全前不能給房子，我現在把鑰匙給你，你回頭不還我怎麽辦？還有，你一個人去看房子，萬一裏面哪磕了碰了，我跟誰說理去？”
蘇婷氣笑了：“所以你的意思是，我必須在這裏等着，聽你跟同事聊夠了，心情愉快了，才願意帶我去看房子，是吧？”
對方前面短發的軍嫂聽兩人要吵起來，出聲打圓場說：“同志你誤會了，小宋是真有事要忙，這樣吧，你先出去，我跟她好好說說，看看她工作能不能往後延，抽出時間早點帶你去看房，你看……”
短發軍嫂話還沒說完，就被小宋打斷了：“吳姐你跟她說那麽多幹什麽？我這都是按規矩辦事，她能接受就去外面等着，不能接受就回去，慣的她！真以為自己丈夫級別高，就能為所欲為了？”
“原來你們軍屬安置辦的規矩，就是把要辦事的軍嫂晾在一邊瞎聊，”蘇婷冷笑，“行，我也不跟你多說了，我找你們領導去。”
說完，抱起慢慢轉身就走。
吳姐臉色一變，忙起身喊：“同志，同志……”
喊了好幾聲，也沒把人叫住，轉身對小宋說：“你看看，事情搞大了吧。”
本來小宋心裏有點慌，聽了這話反而不肯認慫，撇嘴說：“讓她告狀去，反正我問心無悔，她什麽都不懂，就說我們瞎聊，待會你們可得給我作證啊。”
吳姐心想，她們剛才可不就是在瞎聊嗎？
但這證必須得做，一來她們都是同事，說實話以後不好相處，二來讓主任知道她們上班一直在閑聊，對她們個人也不好。
其他人跟吳姐想法差不多，于是辦公室裏響起含糊的應答聲。
聽到大家的回答，小吳臉上露出滿意的笑容，她就不信了，自己還搞不過一個新來的軍嫂，等着蘇婷帶着主任來找茬。
……
軍屬安置辦主任的辦公室在最裏面，外面沒人守着，只是大門緊閉，看不出裏面有沒有人。
蘇婷帶着慢慢直接過去敲門，沒一會，裏面傳出聲音：“進來。”
蘇婷推門進去，沖裏面的人喊道：“王主任。”
Director Wang looked up and saw a stranger. He was slightly surprised and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"
"I'm a new military wife, my name is Su Ting, and my husband is He Dongchuan, who was just transferred here." Su Ting introduced herself as she walked inside, and she also introduced the child in her arms, "This is my daughter, her name is Man Man."
Although Director Wang did not know Su Ting, he had heard of He Dongchuan's name. He stood up and walked out from behind his desk, shook her hand and said, "It's Comrade Su. When did you arrive?"
"I arrived the night before yesterday." Su Ting replied.
Director Wang motioned for Su Ting to sit on the sofa, walked to the cupboard against the wall, took out a cup, poured a few leaves of tea into it, and asked while pouring hot water into it: "What do you want to drink?"
Su Ting quickly said, "Don't bother, Man Man and I will just have a cup of tea."
"That's fine." Director Wang placed the enamel cup in front of Su Ting, sat down and asked, "Are you staying in the guesthouse these two days?"
"right."
"How is the environment in the guesthouse? Are you used to it?"
"The environment is good and Sister Zhang is a very nice person."
Director Wang knew all the military wives in the compound. After a brief thought, he asked, "Comrade Zhang Yanping, right?"
"It was her. On the first day we moved into the guesthouse, my brother had a runny nose. Thanks to Sister Zhang, she borrowed ginger and a coal stove from the canteen. Otherwise, the child might have caught a cold in the next two days."
Director Wang nodded: "Comrade Zhang Yanping is good."
"Yes, but we booked a suite in order to have more space. It has two rooms, a living room and a balcony. The environment is almost the same as my own home," Su Ting said with an embarrassed smile, "but the room rate is a bit expensive."
"Well, suites are more expensive than single rooms."
"It's just a few days, it's not that we can't afford it, we're just worried it might take too long."
Although He Dongchuan's absence was reported by the Military Dependents Placement Office, the transfer of military officers and the placement of military dependents are closely related, so as soon as he completed the procedures, Director Wang received the news.
In addition, the maintenance of vacant houses in the compound is under the management of the logistics department, so the keys to the vacant houses are in their hands, and the allocation of houses is also under their management. The Military Dependents Placement Office provides auxiliary work, such as taking new military wives to see houses, collecting excess keys after the house is confirmed, and completing the procedures required for moving in. These are all their jobs.
Although Director Wang had a lot of things to take care of, she didn't need to do these trivial tasks, but she was aware of the progress of the matter. She asked in confusion: "Hasn't Comrade He completed the registration procedures? The houses have been delivered. You can decide which one to choose and get the key after completing the move-in procedures."
"That's what I said, but I came here at two o'clock, and no one has taken me to see the house yet," Su Ting said cryptically, "I came to you just to ask, after going through this set of procedures, how long will it take for me to get the key?"
Director Wang looked down at his watch. It was already past five minutes past three. He understood what Su Ting meant.
To put it bluntly, the Military Family Settlement Office is there to serve the wives of military personnel. It is understandable that the process is slow for complicated procedures like settling down, but there are no procedures for viewing houses. Basically, the wives of military personnel can just show up and the staff will take the key and go.
After you finish looking at the house and the military wife decides on it, you can get the key after signing and completing the formalities.
As long as the military wife decides to do it quickly, the whole process will not take more than an hour. If she decides to do it slowly, it is hard to say, three to five days is common, but it depends on the military wife herself.
After considering it, Director Wang said, "How about this? You sit here for a while and I'll go ask what's going on. What do you think?"
Su Ting agreed immediately: "Okay."
After the agreement was reached, Director Wang left the office and went to the second office at the entrance to ask, "Who has the key to Comrade Su's house?"
Xiao Song stood up quickly: "It's in my hand."
Director Wang asked, "I heard from Comrade Su that she came at two o'clock. How come it's already three o'clock and you haven't taken her to see the house yet?"
When Xiao Song heard this, he complained immediately, "Director Wang, this is really not my fault. It's the end of the month, isn't it? I have a lot of work to do, and I just wanted to finish what I was doing and asked her to wait for me for a while, but she didn't want to. I just asked everyone a few questions, and she kept pestering me, saying that I was just chatting with everyone and wanted to complain to you."
At first glance, there was nothing wrong with what she said, but Director Wang was not a rookie who had just started working, so there was no way he would be fooled by her.
It was already past two fifty when Su Ting went to her office. If she went there after the quarrel, then she waited for Xiao Song for at least forty to fifty minutes before the quarrel.
What kind of work can take so long that it would make people wait for forty or fifty minutes?
Besides, she always stressed that they should consider the wives of soldiers more when doing things. How much time would it take her to look at a house? At most an hour, how much time would it waste?
But now was not the time to talk about that. Director Wang asked, "Where is the key?"
"In my drawer."
"Give it to me."
Xiao Song took out the key and asked hesitantly, "May I ask what you need the key for?"
"Besides showing Comrade Su the house, what can I do with the key?"
When Xiao Song heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "It's such a small matter, why bother you? I can just take Comrade Su to look at the house."
"Work done?"
"There's still a little left. I can come back and continue."
Director Wang chuckled, "Since you can come back to make up for it? Then why did you make Comrade Su wait so long? I have always told you that the purpose of our Military Family Placement Office is to serve military wives. Our working principle is to facilitate military wives. But look at what you did today. Tell me yourself, is this putting the cart before the horse?"
Xiao Song was scolded so much that he dared not raise his head, but he could not help but defend himself by saying, "I didn't mean to make Comrade Su wait so long."
"Then tell me, why did you let her wait so long?" Director Wang asked, and before Xiao Song could answer, he said, "Don't say you are busy with work. Others don't know what your work is, but how could I not know? I know that you just feel unbalanced because you feel that Comrade Su has taken your house."
Xiao Song raised his head hurriedly: "Director Wang, I..."
"You don't need to explain. I know exactly what you're thinking. You have many children, and a two-bedroom apartment is not enough. You want to move to a bigger house, right? But you have to understand one thing. There are rules for allocating houses. It doesn't mean that you can live in a big house just because you have many children. Your man is not of high enough rank. Even if Deputy Head He hadn't been transferred here, this house would not have been allocated to you."
"Besides, even if Comrade Su has reserved a house, there is still a three-bedroom apartment left, which will not hinder you from changing houses. Why are you trying to set a trap for him?"
At this point, Director Wang's face darkened: "How can I trust you in the future if you abuse your power for personal gain? How can I dare to give you a job?"
Xiao Song's expression suddenly changed: "Director Wang, I was wrong..."
"You are wrong. I won't bother with you this time, but I hope you can remember your job responsibilities. Otherwise, if something like this happens again, I can only tell you that our Military Dependents Placement Office does not need people who cannot distinguish between public and private affairs."
After Director Wang finished speaking, he took the key and went out.
She was very stern in front of Xiao Song, but in front of Su Ting, her expression returned to a gentle state, and she said, "I just asked, it's our comrade who is wrong, I just criticized her harshly, I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused to you."
Su Ting waved her hand and said, "Although I waited for a while, it didn't cause me any inconvenience. You are very polite."
"Thank you for your understanding," Director Wang said, taking out the key. "Is it convenient for you now? If you have time, I can take you to see the house."
"You take me there?" Su Ting asked in surprise, "Will this interfere with your work?"
"Work can be done at any time," Director Wang said with a smile, "Shall we go over now?"
Su Ting hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
…
The house layouts of buildings nine and ten are the same, and the furnishings inside are similar. There are beds in the three rooms, a wardrobe in the master bedroom, and a dining table and stools in the living room. The only differences are that the legs of one bed are shorter and that wardrobe has a hole.
If I move in, these furniture will definitely need to be repaired, or even bought again, and some new things will be added.
So Su Ting didn't pay much attention to these things, and paid special attention to the neighbors opposite. Unfortunately, she came at the wrong time, and the neighbors opposite Building 10 were not at home. However, there was someone in Building 9, Room 302, who spoke to them for a few words, but they didn't talk much, so she couldn't tell what kind of people they were.
After discussing with He Dongchuan in the evening, they decided to trust Zhang Yanping and chose Room 202 in Building 10.
So the next morning after breakfast, Su Ting took Manman to the Military Dependents Resettlement Office again. This time she was not troubled and got the key very smoothly after completing the procedures.
Looking at the small silver key in her hand, the corners of Su Ting's lips curled up slightly.
Although the property rights do not belong to them, they may live here for several years or even more than ten years in the future. Rounding it off, this house can be considered their home.
