As he said this, he was about to take the two of them out. After taking two steps, he stopped and cried out "Ouch", then slapped his forehead in annoyance.
Chu Min and Chu Tian, who were following behind him, looked at each other in confusion.
Captain Sun turned around in frustration and ran to the table. He took out two letters from the drawer and handed them to Chu Tian, apologetically explaining, "On my way back from the meeting at the regiment yesterday, I met the postman. Because he knew I was the captain of our brigade, he gave me all the letters from our brigade. Two of them were for you. I was busy yesterday and forgot to give them to you..."
Chu Tian was stunned for a moment and pointed at himself, "Is this for me?"
Captain Sun nodded and said, "The postman said that these letters actually arrived five days ago, but he was sick some time ago, so he held them back and didn't deliver them..."
Chu Tian took the letter blankly and put it in his pocket. He didn't think of who would send him a letter for a while, and now was not the time to read it. He should wait until he chose a house and went home to read it!
The residential plots available in the brigade are all on the edge. Chu Tian took a fancy to the outermost plot, close to the western road, while Chu Min took a fancy to the plot close to the eastern canal.
Chu Tian was delighted when he saw this, and thought to himself, great! He chose the westernmost plot of land, and Chu Min chose the easternmost one. They happened to be one east and one west, and if you didn't look for them intentionally, you wouldn't be able to see them!
But the next second, Chu Tian's good mood disappeared instantly because Chu Min said something to the captain.
"Captain, then I want this piece of land next to my little brother's!"
Chu Tian looked at Chu Min in disbelief, "You, you, aren't you interested in the land in the east?"
Chu Min smiled slightly, "But brother would rather be neighbors with his younger brother..."
“···”
Chu Tian was so angry that his nose was crooked! Was this still the Chu Min he remembered? Why did he feel so different from his impression? Was this a butterfly effect? Because he had changed, the personalities of those around him had also changed?
Captain Sun saw that Chu Tian and Chu Min had such a good relationship and praised them, "As they should be. Even though they have separated, they are still brothers. They should take care of each other and support each other!"
Chu Min smiled and nodded, "Captain is right, as an older brother, I should take care of my youngest brother more!"
“····”
Chu Tianxin said, no, no, he doesn’t want it, and he doesn’t need your care. He just wants to stay away from the old Chu family and live a simple and stable life with his wife and daughter, and wait until the spring breeze of reform blows in the 1980s to make a fortune!
I don't know what the regulations were in rural areas back then, but the companies in the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps all followed the one-household-one-household rule. What does "one-household-one-household" mean? It means that a single household can be registered and the team leader can apply for a piece of residential land in the company. However, only members of the production team can apply for a residential land within the production team; outsiders are not allowed to apply. Also, as long as the land does not exceed the local residential land area of one and a half mu, there is no need to pay any residential land fees.
(Don’t think that one and a half mu of residential land is an exaggeration. This is too little. Now many families in southern and northern Xinjiang have yards of two or three mu. However, those were demarcated long ago. It seems that starting from 2020 or some other year, a family’s residential land is not allowed to exceed 800 square meters...)
Captain Sun patted Chu Min's shoulder in appreciation and said, "You and Chu Tian are the only good ones in your family. Your eldest brother is actually not bad either, but he has a bad personality... As for your third brother... well..."
Chu Min smiled and said, "It's okay. When we split up in the future, whatever Third Brother wants will have nothing to do with us!"
Speaking of the four brothers of the Chu family, the one who hated the third oldest brother Chu Wen the most was Chu Tian, and the second one he hated the most was Chu Min. He was not like Chu Tian who always endured everything. He had been fighting with Chu Wen since he was a child. Whenever he saw Chu Wen, he would feel uncomfortable all over if he didn't stab him a few times!
But every time he finished tattooing, he would be scolded by his mother Liu Zhaodi. He would listen and apologize when she scolded him, but the next time he saw her, she would do the same thing! In the end, Liu Zhaodi just didn't care anymore...
Chu Tian and Chu Min sent the team leader to the door of the team headquarters and left. They just needed to find a good place and think about how to build a house, but the team leader still had to quickly write an application and take their household registration certificates to the company for stamping!
Otherwise, if someone from the company checks in the future and finds that the approval stamp is not stamped, it will be troublesome! Although there has been no inspection in the past ten years, it is better to be safe than sorry!
Fortunately, after he separated Chu Tian's household registration, he also separated the household registration of Chu Min's family, the second oldest son of Chu. Otherwise, he would have to make another trip to the production team.
Chu Min walked beside Chu Tian in a good mood, "Little brother, when are you going to start the construction?"
Chu Tian rolled his eyes and said, "I want to start construction now. Do you think it's possible?"
Normally, others would have shut up after hearing Chu Tian's answer, but Chu Min was different. He replied in a very serious tone, "I don't think we can dig the foundation now, but we can prepare the things needed to build the house in advance!"
Chu Tian stopped and looked at Chu Min who was always smiling. He felt that he was right. Although he couldn't dig the foundation now, he could make other preparations, right?
Chu Min asked happily, "How is it? What do you want to prepare first?"
Chu Tian looked at Chu Min's consistent smile and felt unhappy. He frowned and said, "Why do you always ask your younger brother? Shouldn't you set a good example for your younger brother?"
Chu Min laughed out loud. Seeing Chu Tian's face getting darker and darker, his mood became better. When he saw him turning around and about to leave, he hurriedly grabbed his arm and his expression returned to normal.
"Okay, okay, let's talk it out. I won't laugh anymore."
He coughed twice and continued, "I don't want to build an adobe house anymore. Although adobe houses are cheap, the walls will fall off easily..."
Chu Tian looked at him expressionlessly.
Chu Min didn't mind and continued, "I inquired about it last year. Although our regiment doesn't have a brick factory, there is a brick kiln in the commune not far from our brigade. Although it's not as large as the brick factory, it doesn't require any approval, unlike the brick factory in the Changsheng Corps, which needs an approval before ordering bricks..."
Chu Tian raised his eyebrows, thinking, isn't this nonsense? If everyone has the money to buy bricks and tiles and build a brick house, who would want to live in a house with adobe walls and a reed roof? I'm not a masochist...
Seeing that Chu Tian still didn't speak and there was no smile on his face, but his facial expression was relaxed, Chu Min knew that he had listened to what he said. He smiled slightly and continued.
"Little brother, it seems that their brick kiln has a rule for ordering bricks and tiles. It seems that if the quantity is too small, they won't fire it. I'm not sure if they are willing to fire the bricks and tiles I ordered for five rooms. So, if you also want to build a brick house, let's go and order it together!"
