"Boss, didn't you borrow the food?" Liu Xiaocao frowned and asked when she saw the man coming back with a small bowl of corn porridge.

"What food do you want to borrow? If you want to borrow food, it's good enough to have something to eat." Gu Minghe angrily put the basin on the table and shouted after hearing what his wife said.

"Why are you yelling at me? We have no food at home, and I'm not going to eat it myself." Liu Xiaocao said this without interrupting his actions. He sat down on the kang, picked up a large bowl, reached out to take a spoon and scooped a bowl of dry corn porridge from the basin.

"Hey, you stinky woman, you took away all the food here, what are we going to eat next time?" Gu Minghe saw his wife's things and hurried forward to grab the rice spoon.

"We still have some left. We can add some sweet potatoes to it and eat it the same way at the next meal." Liu Xiaocao curled her lips. No matter what the man said, she pretended not to hear him and lowered her head to shovel the corn porridge into her mouth.

"The soup is so diluted, you added sweet potatoes to it? What were you thinking?" Gu Minghe was shocked when he heard Liu Xiaocao's words. He had never heard of adding sweet potatoes to corn porridge soup when eating at anyone's house.

"It's just right to save water." Liu Xiaocao said indifferently, and after eating, he went downstairs to pick up the table.

After hearing this, Gu Minghe had no choice but to drive the children away, lie down on the kang, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

By the way, after Lu Qingyan finished her lunch, she quickly opened the door to get rid of the smell in the house. Then the three of them sat in the main room and chatted for a while before going back to their own rooms.

"Boom, boom, boom."

"I'm coming, I'm coming." Mother Lu heard the knock on the door and hurried downstairs to open it.

"Auntie, I've bought everything for you. It has everything. This is the account I kept. You can check it yourself. The downstairs is busy, so I'll go down first." The guy from the logistics department led a few people to put the things in the house, and then ran out.

Before Mother Lu could even say a word, she saw the man running away, so she had no choice but to call the old man out and help her divide the things.

Lu Qingyan also came out at this time. She was surprised to see the potatoes, sweet potatoes, coarse cornmeal, dried sweet potatoes, corn bran, and a bag of dried vegetables, vermicelli, mushrooms, etc. on the ground.

She didn't expect that twenty yuan could buy so many things at this time. It was really cheap.

"This amount of food will be enough for us to eat for a while." Mother Lu looked at the food with a smile on her face.

She was really happy that there was no shortage of food, water or firewood on such a rainy day.

The family was happy, but when a group of people downstairs got off the car in the heavy rain, some of them looked calm, some looked gloomy, and some were very excited when they looked at the building in front of them.

"Sisters-in-law, hurry up and take your things with me, or they will get wet." A group of people from the logistics department shouted while helping to carry things down.

An old lady who looked to be in her sixties and wearing a raincoat got out of the car and called her grandson who was almost asleep: "Xiao Wen, hurry up and go up with grandma. You can sleep after the house is cleaned up."

"Okay." The child agreed softly, and with the help of his grandmother, he got out of the car. Then the two of them ran upstairs carrying their backpacks.

"Comrade, don't tell us that this room is for us to live in?" After seeing the room they were assigned, the few people who had just arrived on the second floor hurriedly stopped the people who were about to leave and asked

"Sisters-in-law, the rooms below the company level are arranged in this way. The toilet and the water room are at the end of the west side. There are taps in your room. If you don't want to go to the water room, you can stay at home." The logistics department looked at the dissatisfied sisters-in-law and patiently explained:

"I have a lot of things to do, so you guys should make your own arrangements first. If there are any problems, wait until your eldest brother returns from his mission and have them report to the higher-ups."

"Comrade, can I go in and clean up now? The child is very cold outside." A tall woman with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing patched clothes, led a child of four or five years old, and asked hurriedly after hearing what the person opposite said.

"Okay, okay, sisters-in-law, please go into the house and pack up. It's time for me to leave too." The guy from the logistics department ran downstairs without waiting for the group to ask any more questions.

"How can we live in such a small house?" Several sisters-in-law grumbled and complained, but no matter how much they complained, they still had to clean up.

They brought their children here. The third floor is not so spacious as several families have children with them.

It was easier for the two families whose sons were battalion commanders, as they were given the same house as Gu Mingze's family.

But it is not the same for company commanders or platoon leaders, as they all have rooms like Qian Xiaomei’s.

There are four or five people of all ages, some even seven or eight, so this small room is no longer habitable.

"Comrade, there are so many of us, this room can't accommodate us. You have to change the room for us." A short old lady reached out and grabbed the person who was about to leave, asking him to change the room for them quickly, otherwise she would not let him leave.

"Auntie, the company commander and platoon leader all arranged this kind of room. If you are not satisfied, just wait for your son to come back and report it. I have something else to do, so I will leave first. You guys should pack up quickly." After the young man from the logistics department finished speaking, he pulled back his hand and ran away.

I thought to myself, no wonder the director asked them to go back immediately after sending the person off. Given the situation, if they don’t go back, they might never be able to return.

"Mom, it's raining heavily, why don't you go back to the house first?" A thin woman with delicate features walked up and whispered

"I don't know how to go back to the house? Hurry up and clean up the house for me, don't let your little sister get cold again." The old lady waited for her daughter-in-law to finish yelling, then she reached out and helped the fat girl with a round face into the house.

Chang Xia was sleeping in the room. After being woken up, she put on some clothes and opened the door.

But when he saw the crowd outside, his eyes widened.

She knew that a group of military dependents would come today, but she didn't expect so many people would come.

So she counted at the door to see how many families had come to their floor.

Finally, after realizing that there were only four families among these people, they hurried back to the house and closed the door.

He kept muttering: "This is terrible. Where can so many people live?"

But there was no point in muttering to himself, so he told the two children to stay at home and not open the door for anyone who came, and went downstairs to chat with Guo Yan.

The fourth floor is different from the second and third floors, which are bustling now, and is very quiet at this moment.

"Auntie, this is your home, the leader is busy now and can't come back.

If you need anything, you can go to the second floor east end and borrow it. His family is Captain Gu Mingze, a soldier under the regiment commander. A young man in military uniform went back and forth several times, brought all the things into the house, and then said respectfully to his family's regiment commander's mother next to him.

"Okay, I understand. Go get busy." The old lady, Qin Sumei, waved her hand. After the people left, she took off her raincoat and looked around the room.

Then he looked at his grandson who was packing up and said, "Should we clean the house first and then pack up?"

"Oh well……"
