Section 52

"What are you doing so early in the morning, grandpa and grandma?" Guo Yan was thinking whether to continue living there or move back to the first floor. As soon as she went downstairs, she saw the two old people coming back from a distance, so she stood there and greeted them.

"Since the weather is good, why don't we go to the fields and see if we can plant something?" Mother Lu asked the old man to go home first, and she stood there chatting with Guo Yan.

"That's right. I've been so busy these past few days that I forgot to go to the field to check on my land." When Guo Yan heard what Lu's mother said, she suddenly remembered her own land. She said a few words to Lu's mother and then hurried to the field.

"Auntie, I just heard you and sister-in-law talking about something. What was that?" Zhou Xiaocao was leaning on the railing to eavesdrop on their conversation, but before she could hear anything, Guo Yan ran away. She could only wait until Mother Lu came upstairs before she asked with a smile on her face.

"Every family has a piece of land." Mother Lu got angry when she saw Zhou Xiaocao, and she said something casually and went back to the house.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Xiaocao waited until everyone entered the house before she quietly spit. Then she twisted her waist and went to the third floor. She came to the door of a house and stood there and said, "Auntie Cao, are you busy?"

"Hey, Xiaocao is here, come in and sit down for a while?" Aunt Cao was sitting in the house taking a rest. When she saw Zhou Xiaocao coming, she called her in and said,

Zhou Xiaocao glanced at the room, shook her head and said, "No need, Auntie, the sun is shining brightly. Stand here and bask in the sun."

Aunt Cao curled her lips when she saw her like this, then walked out and said, "Why do you have time to come to my place today?"

"Aunt Cao, I just heard Captain Gu's mother-in-law and Guo Yan's wife talking about land at the doorstep, so I asked Aunt Lu about it, and she said that each of our families has a piece of land." Zhou Xiaocao looked around like a thief, then leaned over to Aunt Cao's ear and said

"Really?" Aunt Cao shouted as soon as she heard that her family could get some land.

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down. I'm just telling you this because we're good friends. Don't tell anyone else." Seeing her like this, Zhou Xiaocao quickly covered her mouth to stop her from shouting.

"Hmm." Aunt Cao's mouth was covered and she couldn't speak. She could only nod repeatedly to show that she heard

"I think since we know it first, we will definitely get a good piece of land. If others know it, then who knows who will get the good piece first." After Zhou Xiaocao said this, she thought of the people who came before them, and said with a pout, "It's better to come first, because they will definitely take all the good things."

"No, this is the military, you think this is your home, you can choose whichever you want to go to?" Aunt Cao didn't believe what she said and rolled her eyes.

"Okay, now that you know about this, I'll leave first." Before leaving, Liu Xiaocao glanced at the room, which was about the same size as her own. There were six people crammed inside, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

"Slow down." After Aunt Cao shouted, she went back to her house happily.

"Mom, Zhou Xiaocao doesn't look like a good person. You should avoid associating with her in the future." Fat Cao Meizhu sat in the bed and said unhappily when she saw her mother coming back.

"Hey, there are good people who are not good people. We live upstairs and downstairs, so we have to treat each other well. What if we need help in the future?" After Aunt Cao said this, she looked at her daughter-in-law who was hiding on the side and said, "When Dahai comes back in the evening, ask him if we can all get a piece of land when we come."

"Mom, how did you know? Could it be that Zhou Xiaocao lied to you?" Chen Zhaodi, who had delicate features but was timid, whispered to herself when she heard what her mother-in-law said.

"Just ask me if I ask you. Why do you talk so much in a day? This room is a mess. I can't clean it up."

Aunt Cao was angry when she saw her daughter-in-law like this, and she was even more angry when she saw the two money-losing guys hiding on the side:

"You are such a lazy fellow, leading two money-losing guys. It makes me depressed just looking at you guys all day long."

Lu Qingyan listened to the upstairs scolding again, and sighed and said: "You said that our families were the only ones who were quiet before, but now there are so many people, and they are noisy every day. It's annoying to listen to them."

"That's right. It's been noisy all day, and it's such a small house. It's hard for a family of three to move around, let alone six people. How are they going to sleep at night?" Mother Lu heard her daughter say, and she also said

"You said that you came to the army with your parents, wife, and children, which is normal, but bringing your sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and elder brother-in-law, what a big deal." Lu Qingyan was shocked when she thought about the crowds of people on the third floor when she went downstairs for a stroll two days ago.

He shouted to his mother who was standing nearby and asked what was going on.

Her mother said at the time that these people were new military dependents from every household on the third floor.

Then he said that several families had the same room as Qian Xiaomei's, and there were five or six people living in each room, or seven or eight people.

When she heard this, a picture instantly appeared in her head, and she was so scared that she shook her head quickly.

Fortunately, the original owner did not marry into such a family, otherwise she would not be able to survive a day and would have divorced directly.

"What people like this do is wrong, but isn't it the same in rural areas? If there is a promising person in the family, he or she has to support the whole family. Otherwise, outsiders will say you are an ungrateful person and will poke your spine when you return to your hometown." Mother Lu sat at the door with a small stool, cutting potatoes and chatting with her daughter.

"That's right, auntie, what you said makes sense. Look at my family. Even though I'm with the army now, my son Tielin has to send half of his monthly allowance back home." Lin Chunhua heard this in the house and came out to chat.

"If you send half of this back, will it be enough for you to spend every month?" Lu Qingyan heard someone coming out to chat, so she walked to the door and asked curiously.

"Not only is it enough for me to spend, I can also save a lot." Lin Chunhua looked at the fair-skinned and beautiful Lu Qingyan in front of her, and couldn't help but show a hint of envy in her eyes.

"You can still save half of this allowance?" Hearing this, Lu Qingyan widened her eyes in disbelief and asked: "What do you eat every month? Don't you give your children some meat?"

"Hey, look at what you said. We rural people only need to eat meat once a month or two. How can we eat it every day?" Lin Chunhua knew that the person in front of her had no worries about food and drink, but she still couldn't help but say: "You don't know, I have to save this money, otherwise if something happens at home, or the children get sick or there is a disaster, I won't be able to take out the money."

"But children nowadays don't eat well. If you don't give them some meat, they won't get enough nutrition, which will lead to poor physical development." Seeing her like this, Lu Qingyan glanced at the short and thin child in the room and said

"What do you mean by poor development? Isn't that how all rural children grow up?" Lin Chunhua didn't understand what the person in front of her was saying. She just looked at Lu's mother and said

"My daughter graduated from high school, so what she said is definitely true..."
