"Oh." Gu Qiming nodded his head to show that he understood, but soon he asked a new question.

"Mom, how do we go back to our hometown? What do we need to bring? And who are the people in our hometown? Should we prepare gifts?" After asking this, Gu Qiming looked at his mother with an expectant look.

"I will arrange all these. Just enjoy your meal." Lu Qingyan interrupted her son and told him to eat quickly and stop asking questions.

"Okay." Seeing his mother like this, Gu Qiming had no choice but to pout and stop asking. He picked up the chopsticks and skillfully picked up the food to eat.

After dinner, the family cleaned up and went out for a walk as usual.

"Teacher Lu, are you guys out for a walk again?" Qian Xiaomei used to call Lu Qingyan "big sister", but since Lu Qingyan became a teacher, she started calling her Teacher Lu.

"Sister-in-law also came out for a walk after dinner." Lu Qingyan nodded and greeted Qian Xiaomei with a smile.

"Well, this kid can't stay indoors after dinner, so I take him downstairs for a walk." Qian Xiaomei pointed at her little son who was playing in the mud not far away and said

Yes, Qian Xiaomei became pregnant the year after Lu Qingyan gave birth to her child, and also gave birth to a 15.8 catties son in the same winter.

Even Lin Chunhua was the same, giving birth to a son who was three months younger than Qian Xiaomei's youngest son.

Similarly, Zhou Xiaocao gave birth to another daughter, which made the woman, who already had a bad temper, even more irritable.

Whenever I talk to someone, I'm sure we'll end up arguing after just three sentences.

But she and Aunt Cao upstairs surprisingly get along well, and after all these years, they have never had a fight.

This also surprised Lu Qingyan.

"Teacher Lu, have you heard? There will be new people coming to our family building." Qian Xiaomei approached Lu Qingyan with a mysterious look on her face and whispered

"I know. They will arrive in the next two days." Lu Qingyan heard Gu Mingze say this a few days ago. However, it is normal for new people to come to the family building. After all, there are soldiers who are promoted every year. When they reach this position, of course there will be family members who come to accompany the army.

"Yes, they said they would arrive in the next few days." When Qian Xiaomei heard Teacher Lu say that she knew, she suddenly remembered that her husband was the deputy head of the group, so of course he knew it before her.

"Well, I don't know how many people will come this time, and whether this family building will be big enough to accommodate them." Lu Qingyan looked at the family building in front of her and said with a frown.

"Indeed, a lot of people came here in the past few years, and now new people are coming. I don't know if the remaining rooms are enough for them." Qian Xiaomei nodded in agreement when she heard Lu Qingyan's words.

"Whatever. Whether it's enough to live in or not is something that the higher-ups should worry about. Let's not think about it." Lu Qingyan shook her head and said with a soft smile.

"Yes." Qian Xiaomei didn't know what was wrong with her. Why did she get involved in these things? She shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

The two chatted for a while and then went home with their children.

"Oh, by the way, Mom and Dad, Xiaoyan, I forgot to tell you that the army is going to have new recruits, so we have to move and vacate the house." Gu Mingze returned home and suddenly seemed to remember something. He stood there, patting his head and saying

"Moving? Where are we moving to?" Lu Qingyan was stunned when she heard the news, and then asked hurriedly.

After all, even if the family building is not big enough, it shouldn’t be their turn to move!

Why did they suddenly have to move?

"Xiaoyan, don't worry. I got a promotion. Plus, they're worried that there won't be enough rooms for the new family members, so they decided to move us to the 4th floor. Then everyone else will move, so that we can have a smaller house." Seeing that she was worried, Gu Mingze hurriedly said to her to comfort her.

"Huh, you scared me. I thought the house was not big enough for the newcomers, so they wanted us to give them the house." Lu Qingyan was relieved after hearing what Gu Mingze said. As long as they didn't move to another place, it would be fine.

Mother Lu was not angry like her daughter. Instead, she asked in embarrassment: "Ah? Move to the 4th floor?"

"What's wrong, mom?" Gu Mingze asked with concern when he saw his mother-in-law like this.

"It's nothing, it's just that your father and I are getting older, and it's a bit difficult for us to climb the stairs. If we move to the 4th floor, you and I won't be able to go downstairs all day." Mother and father Lu were too tired in their early years, so their bodies are not so strong now. Living on the second floor, it's okay to climb the stairs back and forth, but if we move to the 4th floor, it will be really difficult.

"I really didn't think this through. How about this? I'll ask the regiment commander when I return to the camp tomorrow to see if we can move to the newly built small courtyard next door." After hearing what his mother-in-law said, Gu Mingze felt that he was indeed the one who thought about it first.

Then I thought of the small courtyard that was built some time ago. Because everyone was used to living in buildings, no one wanted to live in that courtyard, so it has remained empty.

Now that his mother-in-law has difficulty climbing the stairs, the family may apply to live in the small courtyard.

In that case, not only would you not have to climb stairs, but it would also be quieter and it would be a nice place.

"Can our family live in a small courtyard? Then why didn't you go home and tell us earlier?" When Lu Qingyan heard that her family could live in a small courtyard, her eyes lit up and she looked at Gu Mingze and questioned him.

"I just thought that everyone would like to live in a building and not move there, and I thought you wouldn't like to live there either, so I went home and didn't tell anyone." Gu Mingze touched his head and said in response to his wife's questioning.

"I love living here. If you had come back earlier, we would have moved in a long time ago." Lu Qingyan rolled her eyes when she heard the man's words and said unhappily, "Besides, besides me, my parents would also like to live in the small courtyard. Don't you think so, Mom and Dad?"

"Yes, yes, we all want to live in the small courtyard. We can grow some vegetables in the courtyard, and we can heat the kang and the stove in winter. Isn't this much better than living in this building?" When Lu's mother heard her daughter asking her, she nodded quickly, indicating that they were willing to live in the small courtyard.

"Since you are all willing to stay, I will go back to the camp tomorrow to report on the contract. It is expected that we can move in a few days." Gu Mingze heard his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law say so, so he let them stay at home for a few days and pack up their things.

After the report comes out, they can move to the small courtyard.

"Okay, you will be responsible for reporting to the camp, and my parents and I will be responsible for packing up at home." Lu Qingyan nodded with satisfaction when she heard the man's words.

"Okay." Gu Mingze nodded and agreed.

So they went back to the house to sleep. Gu Jingming and Gu Qiming returned to the house, looked at each other, kicked off their shoes, and threw themselves on his parents' bed without moving.

"You two should go back to your own place and stop hanging around in my place."
