"By the way, do you want to live in a bungalow or an apartment building?" Gu Mingjing suddenly thought of something and asked this question.
Jianshu was surprised, "What?"
The topic jumped so quickly that she didn't react for a moment.
"I called and asked a couple of days ago. There are not many vacant houses in the family compound now, and there are not many choices. What's left are only the first and second floors of two buildings. There are more bungalows left, and there are still a few." Gu Mingjing explained.
Jianshu suddenly realized that the housing in the staff housing complex could actually be chosen. She had thought it was just a direct allocation.
If Gu Mingjing knew what she was thinking, he would just smile and say nothing.
Jianshu was rubbing her hands in excitement. Although the ownership of the house did not belong to her, she would have to live in it for several years at least. Unless Gu Mingjing was transferred midway, she would not leave until the college entrance examination was resumed.
In this case, of course you have to choose one carefully so that you can live more comfortably.
After considering the pros and cons of bungalows and buildings, Jianshu quickly made up his mind.
However, she still asked one more question, "Tell me about both types of houses." When it comes to her quality of life in the next few years, she still has to be cautious.
Gu Mingjing explained in detail, "The areas of the two houses are similar, but the bungalow has a small courtyard where you can grow vegetables, making it look more spacious."
"There is no yard on this side of the building, so where do the vegetables, fruits and melons come from?" Jianshu asked.
Are they all bought with money? Then wouldn't most people be scrambling to live in bungalows? Back then, they could grow vegetables, which would save them a lot of money over the year.
Gu Mingjing shook his head. "That's not the case. We have a spacious place there. In order to meet the daily needs of military families, we have reserved a piece of land near the family compound for the wives of soldiers to cultivate themselves. However, there is also a supply and marketing cooperative in the base. There are not many things, but they have everything you need for daily life. If you don't want to grow vegetables, you can buy them."
After all, there are quite a few military wives coming from the city, and they are not very good at working in the fields.
As far as he knew, many military wives either left their land vacant or asked others to help them farm and they themselves got a share of the harvest.
Some military wives, facing financial hardship, choose to plant sweet potatoes to save money. However, this leaves them with no land for growing vegetables and fruits, so they are happy to have an extra harvest.
Isn't it just more work? It doesn't matter. Filling their stomachs is the most important thing. They are not afraid of working, but they are afraid of having no work.
So the two parties hit it off, each getting what they wanted, and it was a mutually agreeable deal.
Although this is against the rules, many people do this, and they are ostensibly helping, so both parties are happy to do it.
Secondly, some family members' families are really in financial difficulty and the army cannot provide subsidies. After all, this loophole cannot be opened, so they find ways to solve the problem themselves, and the leaders turn a blind eye.
The army is different from the outside world. It is more closed and peaceful. We are all comrades-in-arms. There is no need to say that you don't help others and block their way.
Even if there really are such people, they will think carefully about whether it is really worth it before doing things that harm others and themselves.
After all, once the matter is exposed, other people may not dare to say anything on the surface, but they will always grumble in their hearts and stay away from it.
No one can completely ignore the opinions of others. What's more, for soldiers, the most important thing is unity. Isolated people cannot go far.
Jianshu didn’t know there were so many things going on here, but even if he knew, he wouldn’t feel anything.
After all, this matter had little to do with her. First, she couldn't give the land to others to farm; second, she couldn't farm other people's land. As for those military wives whose families were in financial difficulty, she couldn't help them much either.
It's impossible to ask her to be a philanthropist and give money to help people solve their family difficulties. She is not that selfless.
After listening to Gu Mingjing's explanation, she suddenly understood.
It turns out that buildings also have land for farming, no wonder there are more crops left in bungalows with yards. For people today, buildings are of course much more fragrant than bungalows.
When the housing area is similar and there is also a piece of land for growing vegetables, who would want to live in a bungalow? Of course, they would live in an apartment building. Apartment buildings are so rare.
People nowadays don’t care about things like lack of privacy.
"What about other aspects? Are there any differences? For example, water and electricity?" Jianshu asked.
"Both the bungalows and the buildings have electricity, there is no difference. But the water is different. The buildings have running water, but the bungalows don't, so they all use well water." Gu Mingjing said.
This is also the reason why most people like buildings, it’s convenient.
Jian Shu didn't really care about this, as she mostly used the spring water from her space anyway. Well water was just a little more troublesome, but it was just as clean as tap water.
After thinking about it for a while, Jian Shu came up with a plan in his mind. He looked up at Gu Mingjing and said, "Let's choose a bungalow, preferably one that's a little out of the way. I like quiet places, and it's better if I can stay away from other people."
The privacy of the building is too poor. The neighbors next door might be able to hear clearly when the couple is talking on the phone. If there are neighbors upstairs and downstairs, or neighbors with many children or family problems, it will be a disaster.
Others are interested in apartment buildings, but she is not interested at all. In her opinion, a single-family house with its own door is much more attractive than an apartment building that shares a wall with neighbors.
When the conditions were similar, she eliminated it first.
As for bungalows, there are also differences depending on the geographical location.
Given the choice, Jianshu would definitely choose a quieter, more secluded place. She didn't want her home cooking to be known to everyone in no time. She also didn't want people visiting her every now and then; she preferred quiet and peaceful.
As for safety issues, there is even less need to worry about them. If any safety issues arise in the military family compound, it would be a huge joke.
Gu Mingjing had expected Jianshu to choose a bungalow, but he was a little confused about the specific requirements.
"Why should it be so remote? There is a distance between the bungalows. Once the gate is closed, it will not affect the quietness. I am also worried about you being alone at home." Gu Mingjing said.
Jian Shu rolled his eyes at him. "What are you worried about? Could anything happen to me in the family compound?"
"No." Gu Mingjing shook his head. If there was any problem with the family compound, they would have no business hanging around there and would be laughed to death by others.
"That's it, isn't it?" Jian Shu spread his hands.
"But..." Gu Mingjing still had some concerns.
