"They're not suitable to live with Comrade Wang and the others in this state." Yan Rushan said, without giving the old man a chance to respond, "My wife took them upstairs to sleep last night and asked Goudan to watch them."
The old man frowned and stared at his great-grandchildren for a while. He saw that they were having fun; it was no different from usual, and he couldn't tell how much their IQ had grown.
"If that's the case, it's really not suitable for them to live with a nanny anymore. They need to be given separate rooms. However, if they live in a room alone, there will be no one to look after them." After all, they are too young to take care of themselves.
"So, I want to discuss with you that the house allocated to you can be exchanged with that of our neighbor, okay?" Yan Rushan pointed to the house outside.
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, I have no objection. Will they be willing?"
"I can only ask first, and the main thing is that you have to agree. If they don't want to, then forget it. My wife will ask Xi Nian to reallocate the house." Thanks to his wife's contribution, reallocating a house wouldn't be difficult. "But, I don't know if there will be a suitable house available by then. My wife said that if it really doesn't work out, we'll ask Xi Nian. She'd rather pay a little more rent every year."
They have to pay rent for the house they live in now, and it is not free.
When the person to whom the house was allocated dies, if there is no one among the younger generations to take over, the house will be taken back.
Yan Guofeng scoffed, "Stop trying to stop your little tricks. Retreat to advance. Do you think your grandfather has lived in vain at this age?"
"Grandpa can't hide anything." Yan Rushan's handsome face froze, and he subconsciously raised his hand to rub his brow. "Our house is really not big enough. When they are young, three of them can sleep in one room. When they grow up, they will have to prepare a room for each of them."
There's clearly not enough room in this compound.
"I remember there are several large houses in the compound, two of which are still vacant. Many families with large families have tried several times but failed. You can ask Yuxiu to ask Xi Nian to bring one over." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Those two houses are spacious and have a large area. There are seven or eight rooms in total on the upper and lower floors, not counting the bathroom, kitchen, living room, etc."
It should be more than enough to accommodate all of them. "If it really doesn't work out, I'll just hand in the apartment I was assigned and exchange it for a bigger one; it'll be more convenient to live in and we don't have to split it into two."
The son and daughter-in-law can live there comfortably when they come back, but the little grandson can no longer live in the compound after he gets married; after all, it is no longer under his name, and it doesn't make sense for his elder brother and sister-in-law to support his younger brother and his wife.
"Oh, right, we need to set up Yuxiu's lab too. Once we leave, the lab here won't be usable. If someone moves in, the lab will definitely be discovered." This was his first consideration. "We have to move the things out, but the furnishings inside also need to be changed. It would be best if it could be turned into a study. Having a study next to the residence in the same building makes sense."
Yan Rushan nodded, "Let's talk about it after it's confirmed."
"Okay." Yan Guofeng felt that for his granddaughter-in-law who had made outstanding contributions, this was just a matter of words; if he didn't even do this, it would be unreasonable.
According to his thinking as a superior, if someone who has made great contributions makes such a small request, he will definitely meet it.
Hello, I'm fine, everyone is fine!
During breakfast, without Yan Rushan saying anything, Yan Guofeng told Zhong Yuxiu what they had discussed.
"Yuxiu! Living separately is so inconvenient. It's more convenient to live together. Comrade Wang and Comrade Gong won't have to run back and forth. If we live in two separate houses, their comings and goings will always attract attention."
Zhong Yuxiu nodded softly after hearing this, "Grandpa, I thought so too. It would be best if we could get a house. This is to try not to trouble the higher-ups!"
"These are just small matters, not a big deal." Yan Guofeng waved his hand, "If you ask, you will definitely get the job done."
"Okay, I'll call Xi Nian later."
"Okay, let's eat."
The group sat at the table and slowly ate breakfast. After filling her stomach, Zhong Yuxiu went to the telephone desk and dialed Xi Nian's number. After being transferred, the call was connected to Xi Nian's office.
"Hello, Comrade Xi Nian, how are you?"
"Good morning, Comrade Zhong. You're up so early. Don't you want to take a break during your vacation?"
Zhong Yuxiu chuckled, "There's always time to rest."
"That's right. You can rest at home anytime you want." Xi Nian laughed. "I wonder what's the matter with you calling me now?"
"Yes, there is something."
"Please speak." Xi Nian spoke with great respect.
Zhong Yuxiu felt a little embarrassed in her heart, "It's like this, my family plans to live in the compound for a long time."
"That's a good thing! But it won't be so convenient for you to go to work."
"Yes, but for the sake of the children, it's not unacceptable. I plan to hire a teacher to start their education." Zhong Yuxiu finished speaking, and Xi Nian was stunned. "They are only a little over one year old, right? They're hiring a teacher so early?"
Zhong Yuxiu nodded and said, "Yes, let's start teaching them as soon as possible."
"Okay." Unaware of the situation, he didn't comment. "Then, do you need me to find a teacher?"
"How could I trouble you with finding a teacher?" Zhong Yuxiu considered her words for a moment before saying, "My three children have special circumstances, and we need to arrange for them to live separately. However, our house is completely empty, and we've run out of rooms. Could you offer me some new accommodation?"
Xi Nian suddenly realized that it was because of this matter; her three children would indeed have to sleep separately sooner or later. Apart from other things, it was necessary for each of them to have a room.
"You're right, I wasn't thoughtful enough. With Comrade Gu and Comrade Fang living in your house, along with two nannies, there's a shortage of rooms." Besides, she was cooking with the man's grandfather. "Let me ask about the compound and see if there's one we can arrange for you. Is that okay? If there isn't one, we can make arrangements for you."
Zhong Yuxiu breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, thank you for your help."
"It's not a bother. It's what we should do. You're very polite."
After hanging up, Xi Nian immediately called his superiors and explained Zhong Yuxiu's situation. They had no objection; it was just a bigger house! Arrangements!
It just so happened that there were vacant large houses with many rooms in the compound; however, considering the number of people living in the compound, military merits and population issues, only two large houses had been given away so far, and there were two left.
After getting the OK, Xi Nian called the logistics department at the compound to explain that the higher-ups had agreed to provide a house; once the house was arranged, the one Zhong Yuxiu was currently living in would be handed over.
