Chapter 139 Regularity
In the evening, when Song Jinglin was coming home from get off work, Liu Qingqing mentioned the two people who came during the day while they were having dinner and asked him if he knew them.
"I know Mrs. Guo. She's the lover of Yao Ranpeng, the deputy commander. I have a good relationship with Old Yao, and Mrs. Guo seems quite straightforward. As for the lover of Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, I don't know. Wang Lianlu and I are from the same regiment, and our relationship is average."
Song Jinglin was really not familiar with the people in the military family area. When the houses were allocated, he came here to clean them up and just nodded and said hello. He couldn't even match some of them.
Liu Qingqing nodded. It was normal that she couldn't get in touch with these people. She would just wait and see.
As for the relationship being average, it means that they are not that good.
Song Jinglin hooked her little finger and pinched it gently: "If you don't get along with me, just ignore me. It's okay."
Liu Qingqing smiled and rolled her eyes at him, then pulled her fingers out: "Don't be idle, get up and work."
The houses in the family quarters are neatly arranged and look like they were built in a unified manner.
Every family has a small front and back yard. The front yard is about ten square meters, and the back yard is bigger, about thirty or forty square meters. It should have been a vegetable garden in the past, but now there is a little weeds growing on it.
Two rows of bricks formed a small path to the north along one side of the vegetable garden. The toilet was built at the end of the path, in the corner of the vegetable garden.
Although the climate here is slightly hotter than Wuning.
But here, there is only one harvest a year. By the end of August, nothing can be grown, so Liu Qingqing no longer takes care of the vegetable garden.
Under her instructions, Song Jinglin cleaned up the front and back yards, mainly the toilet.
It gave people a shaky feeling, and she was worried that she would be buried in it when squatting in the toilet.
According to Liu Qingqing's idea, Song Jinglin rebuilt the toilet.
The next day, Yao Ranpeng heard the noise and came over to help.
After Guo Fengjuan finished cleaning up the dishes, she also brought a three-year-old girl over. Seeing that there was nothing for her to do, she started chatting with Liu Qingqing about family matters.
"You just moved in here, so I don't want to bother you all the time. I'm afraid you haven't cleaned up yet. Don't take what happened yesterday to heart."
Liu Qingqing smiled and waved her hand: "Sister-in-law, you worry too much. People have different personalities. I don't take it to heart."
Guo Fengjuan sent her little daughter aside to play, and briefly told Liu Qingqing about Qiu Xiaoshuang's situation, explaining it clearly as soon as possible so that no one would feel any uneasiness.
Liu Qingqing nodded slightly and passed the matter over. No matter what the reason was, it was better to stay away from such things.
From Guo Fengjuan, she also learned about the living conditions here.
The military service center next to the bathhouse in the compound is the supply and marketing cooperative here.
In addition to selling daily necessities and supplementary food, they also provide haircuts, clothing making, and photography.
The service is quite comprehensive.
Food quotas can also be collected there.
After Liu Qingqing joined the army, her household registration also followed her. The next day, she asked Song Jinglin to buy food for the two of them.
Guo Fengjuan looked at her belly and mentioned the nursery here, which can take children from as young as a few months old to as old as six or seven years old.
There is no tuition fee, just some food expenses every month.
Those who work in the nursery are all family members of military personnel, and their salaries are paid by the military.
In addition to working in nurseries, the military district also set up a textile factory to take care of the military families and specifically recruit these soldiers who come to accompany the troops.
Once the children are sent to the nursery, the adults can free up their hands to work in the factory and supplement the family income.
When they reach primary school age, they have to go to school in the city. Their place is remote and it takes more than two hours to go to the city, so the children of the army need to live in the school and can only come once a week.
Liu Qingqing frowned as she listened to this. This condition was really not acceptable. It sounded pitiful for a child to live in the school dormitory when he was so young.
Guo Fengjuan's eldest son is in elementary school. He sees his father once a week, and every time he gets on the bus, he wipes his tears.
Although I feel very sad, there is nothing I can do.
However, my little girl is still attending the nursery in the military area. I send her to school in the morning and pick her up in the evening, so I feel more at ease.
It was getting dark, and Song Jinglin and Yao Ranpeng also stopped what they were doing.
After seeing off the three members of the Yao family, the two went into the house to wash up and sleep.
After staying for a day, she moved up her bedtime. She had to go to bed earlier because the bugle call would sound outside before she even opened her eyes, and she couldn't stay in bed any longer.
