Chapter 108 It feels good to spend money, but you regret it now, right?
Chen Tang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Sister Tian doesn't give Xiao Jiangnan food to eat?"
She helped deliver the letter to Captain Jiang to bring Xiao Jiangnan.
She likes this child very much. If Sister Tian doesn't give little Jiangnan food just because Captain Jiang is on a mission, that would be too much!
Lin Xiao knew that Chen Tang had a good relationship with Captain Jiang's son, so he comforted him softly, "Don't worry, I think the child is quite smart. Sister Tian would at most starve him for two meals. He fainted on the side of the road and let everyone see him, which shows that he has some brains.
After your aunt went over and told Sister Tian, Sister Tian didn't dare to starve him anymore and just waited for Captain Jiang to come back."
Chen Tang also knew that the six-year-old Jiangnan was very cunning, but she felt that if a six-year-old child needed to be cunning in order to live a good life, it was not his fault, but the fault of the adults like them.
If you don't have the ability to give your child a good life, why do you insist on giving birth to a child and letting him suffer?
"No matter how Sister Tian treats me, if it was her child who attacked Xiao Jiangnan first and she chose not to distinguish right from wrong, then I don't want to associate with such a person."
Lin Xiao and Li Hong looked at each other, smiled and nodded.
Chen Tang: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Captain Hao is going to be promoted. Congratulations."
It's time for Hao Yun to be promoted, both in terms of age and merit. He made contributions again a few days ago, so he should be promoted to the position of deputy battalion commander.
Lin Xiao smiled. She was naturally bright and beautiful, and now she was even more beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
"Your Captain He has also made great contributions. If he had not been promoted to the position of battalion commander only last year, he should have been promoted to deputy regiment commander by now with his merits."
Chen Tang thought about the danger of this mission and hoped that it would not happen again a second time.
A few days later, Hao Yun was promoted to deputy battalion commander. Good things come in pairs, and Lin Xiao found out that she was pregnant.
The house they originally applied for was only a single room. After knowing that Lin Xiao was pregnant, Hao Yun applied for a house in the staff quarters.
Nowadays, every family has many children, and most of the houses in the staff quarters have one or two bedrooms and a living room. Even three bedrooms and a living room are rare. Basically, only leaders above the rank of regiment commander can live there. Therefore, on weekdays, the family lives in a very crowded environment. As long as there is a better house, almost everyone will scramble to move in.
For example, the three rooms in Chen Tang's house were actually the large room converted into two small rooms, and the remaining room, which was neither too big nor too small, was made into their master bedroom.
There are more and more people in the army, and fewer and fewer vacant houses. Two or three rooms in a house can no longer meet the needs of a family with five or six children.
After the troops learned of this situation, they began to build buildings, but they are not yet complete.
Originally, Hao Yun planned to apply after the building was completed. However, Lin Xiao became pregnant, and he had to ask his mother to come and take care of her. He was afraid that he would have no place to live, so he thought about applying for a two-bedroom, one-living-room house.
It just so happened that when Captain Wu retired, the three-bedroom, one-living-room house he left behind became a hot commodity among everyone in the family compound.
He didn't expect to be able to apply for a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, as long as he could switch to a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.
Because of Captain Wu's family compound, the originally peaceful family compound became hostile to each other, and one could even see two families fighting each other.
Zhou Ling's house was blocked every day.
Someone from Chen Tang's family came to ask about the situation.
That day, Tian Xiaotian brought Xiao Jiangnan to her house, carrying some vegetables that had just been picked from the fields.
Seeing the baby in the crib, she smiled and praised: "I said that you and Captain He's son must be good-looking. Look at his eyes, so beautiful, just like you."
Xiao Jiangnan also curiously went over to take a look, and secretly touched Xiaobao's hand. It was so soft and fun.
Seeing that he and Xiaobao were having fun, Chen Tang did not stop them. He tilted his head and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you want to talk to me about something?"
It has been almost a month since she came back to the family compound, and only Zhou Qiaolan from the Propaganda Department came to talk to her for a while, but Tian Xiaotian has never come once.
Now everyone in the family compound was staring at the yard opposite them, and it was inevitable that people would think too much when Mrs. Tian came over at this time.
Tian Xiaotian smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. Isn't Captain He at home?"
Chen Tang: "I went to my aunt's house to get some pickled cabbage."
Recently she has been fond of eating pickled fish, but there is no pickled fish at home. When her aunt heard this, she asked He Xu to go and get it.
Just at this time Tian Xiaotian came over.
Tian Xiaotian nodded casually: "Isn't the house across from you empty? I heard someone has applied for it, so I wanted to ask if you have any news?"
She took a special look at Jiangnan: "You know, my family has many children, and I turned the two bedrooms into four rooms. I also separated a single room in the living room so that Jiangnan could live there. The family is so crowded, and my old Zhao is not ambitious. He has been working as a deputy battalion commander for so many years, and he can't even apply for a yard with three bedrooms and a living room.
This time I finally got the chance, and I couldn't help wanting to change it."
Xiao Jiangnan paused while teasing the child, then bit her lower lip with her long eyelashes drooping.
Chen Tang looked embarrassed: "Sister-in-law, although my aunt is the director of the Women's Federation, she doesn't care about the house. If you ask me, I'm still in confinement, and I really have no news."
It's not that there is no news at all. Her aunt told her that whoever gave the house opposite to them would cause resentment among the others, so it's better not to give it to them. Anyway, after Captain Wu leaves, there will be a new captain coming, and adjustments can be made then.
Even if Tian Xiaotian didn't use Xiao Jiangnan as a scapegoat today, she would not tell her the news.
Tian Xiaotian is not a person who doesn't see things clearly: "Indeed, I am too anxious about this matter. Hey, when do you think the building over there will be completed? I manage this family every day, and I can't even turn around to cook. If I had known earlier, I would rather stay in my hometown.
I really envy you. Although your mother-in-law didn't come, your mother found a relative to take care of you. You don't have to worry about anything during the confinement period. It's really relaxing."
Shen Tang was puzzled: "Your mother-in-law came to the military area, but she won't help you take care of the children?"
Tian Xiaotian's face froze for a moment: "Of course I brought it, but there are many contradictions."
Chen Tang knew that she had to be low-key. She continued Tian Xiaotian's words and said, "Every family has its own difficulties. Don't think that I am so relaxed just hugging my child every day. I spent a lot of money recently. Now my family is in financial difficulty. I want to finish my maternity leave as soon as possible so that I can go back to work."
When Tian Xiaotian heard her say this, she felt relieved.
There are many children in her family. If Jiangnan hadn't lived in her house, they wouldn't have been able to eat meat once a month. Although her family is frugal, they have a lot of savings every month.
Unlike Chen Tang, a woman who can't even cook, she eats in the cafeteria every day, and when summer comes, she spends so much money to buy two electric fans, saying that she invited a relative to take care of her, but isn't it just a nanny? All these cost money.
It is estimated that He Xu's savings were all gone to Chen Tanghua.
She talks about gender equality and that women hold up half the sky, but she knows in her heart that it is good enough for the girl's family to keep some of the betrothal gift for her to take to her husband's home, and it is impossible for them to give her any more money.
Chen Tang has only worked in the art troupe for a year, and the monthly salary is enough to support her. To spend that money on things, it must be from He Xu's savings.
Yes, young people don’t care about things and spend money for a moment, but now they regret it, right?
