Si Lu smiled, revealing his big white teeth. "What do you think of the vacant land in front of the youth education center? It's not a big place, but it can be used to build a small courtyard. It's square."
Jiang Yan walked that road every day. As soon as Si Lu mentioned it, a picture automatically appeared in her mind.
"Sure, sure." The location is good, the size is suitable, and most importantly, I have known the neighbors around here before, and they are not the kind of people who are difficult to get along with.
Grandma Zhang lives in the front yard, and next to her lives Xiao Shitou's family. Then there is the yard of the educated youth's site.
It is quiet in a busy city and not far from the educated youth site, so we can take care of each other if anything happens.
"Great! Let's choose this place!"
"I have already made an appointment with the team leader. He will arrange for us to buy adobe bricks and build a house. If we build an adobe house, it will take about half a month. As for the fence, it may be more time-consuming and material-intensive. The best way is to use a wooden fence first and then rebuild the fence in the spring."
Jiang Yan nodded continuously, "It will take half a month to finish building it, so how long will it take before we can move in?"
"I asked, and it takes about a week to dry in the sun." This is also the reason why Si Lu did not insist on building a brick house for her. A brick house is more time-consuming.
"Then I'll move in at the beginning of November?"
"Well, it might snow. But you must not move out too early. The house won't be fully aired out and will be damp, which is bad for your health. Anyway, you and your roommates get along well, so it's okay to stay until spring."
Jiang Yan nodded, as if to say, I'll listen to you.
Anyway, Si Lu will be back in the army by then, and she can move in and live in the space without anyone knowing.
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a commotion outside the yard, as if many people had entered the yard together.
Si Lu stood up and saw that it was Bao Zhiguo and Accountant Ma who had returned, followed by a few people. They entered the yard talking and laughing.
Jiang Yan put the lunch box on the windowsill and the office door was pushed open.
Bao Zhiguo was stunned for a moment when he walked in, but when he saw Si Lu sitting at the desk and Xiao Jiang standing by the windowsill, he felt relieved.
These are two good kids, they both know their limits, what can they do?
He was just being too worried! There was a fire in the room. If the door was not closed, wouldn't the heat escape?
Bao Zhiguo entered the room, "Captain Si, this is the educated youth named Xiao Jiang."
The others followed him into the house and greeted him as well.
"Have they started pumping the water?" Jiang Yan was a careful person. He noticed that there was mud and water on their shoes and trouser legs, so he thought that they had already started pumping the water.
"Well, we've been pumping all morning, and two-thirds of the water has gone down. But the pump is burning up pretty badly, so we're taking a break and letting the machine rest."
Everyone sat around the stove, warming themselves by the fire to keep away the cold.
"Captain, there are fish in the swamp."
"It doesn't look too big." Someone stretched out his hand and gestured, "It's about this long."
Wild crucian carp is the size of a palm, which is not small.
"Captain, can we eat that fish?"
"It should be edible, but there aren't many in total. We'll see when the time comes."
“Will someone steal the fish?”
Bao Zhiguo smiled, "Look at how promising you all are. The deputy captain is watching over there. Who dares?"
Li Changsheng's fighting power and prestige are still very reliable, and no one in the village dares to provoke him openly.
"Besides, even if we catch these fish and share them, we should thank the educated youth Xiao Jiang. If we didn't build the fish pond and pump the water, it would be very difficult for us to eat fish, and it might even be dangerous."
People have drowned in puddles before. During the difficult years, some people tried to catch fish to satisfy their hunger, but ended up drowning.
"Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Jiang."
"Xiao Jiang, can we really build our fish pond?"
"Yes!" Jiang Yan said, "I will build a small fish pond first, and we can all gain experience while exploring. If we can get through this winter smoothly, the spring will be the harvest season. We can expand the scale and make Shengli Brigade's breeding industry a famous brand."
Everyone was excited after hearing her words.
The beginning of spring is a time when there is a shortage of food and crops, and almost every household has to tighten their belts to make ends meet. At this time, there is almost no income, and people have to rely on picking wild vegetables to make a living, which can be said to be extremely miserable.
If the fish pond has a harvest, at least some money can be sold for food to get through the most difficult spring.
"Great!"
"Yes!"
"I'm not sure if we can raise fish in winter."
"Aren't the fish in the lake alive and well in the winter?"
"Makes sense."
The atmosphere in the office was good. Bao Zhiguo was adding coal to the stove when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the yard again.
It seemed like some people were arguing and coming to the production yard.
what happened?
He handed the work in his hands to the person next to him, bent over and looked outside, and saw an extraordinary person.
Su Yun.
Su Yun did not come alone. Li Caiying was arguing with her. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who once loved each other, were now arguing fiercely. There were many people watching behind them, and they followed them into the yard.
Bao Zhiguo frowned, put on his coat, pushed the door and walked out, "What's going on?" His eyes fell on Su Yun, his expression was very displeased.
He didn't close the door when he came out. Su Yun looked behind him and vaguely saw Si Lu's figure. He was immediately happy.
It's easier as long as people are around.
Although Jiang Yan was some distance away from Su Yun, she could tell what she meant at a glance. She hadn't given up yet and was trying to scam her again.
"I just came to ask why I can't see Xiaobao. Although Bao Shengli and I are divorced, I am Xiaobao's mother." Su Yun's tone softened, as if she was crying, "Captain, after all, we were once a family. It's not fair for you to do this!"
The members all started talking in low voices. Some thought that there was something fishy about the divorce. It was Bao Shengli who had problems. He must have made a mistake, otherwise why would he be kicked out of the house with nothing?
The Bao family kept silent about the reason for their divorce. It must have been the man's fault. If there was something wrong with Su Yun, they would have made it public.
Before Bao Zhiguo could speak, Li Caiying came to Su Yun. She was very angry and looked very unhappy.
"Su Yun, ask yourself with your conscience, how has our Bao family treated you during all these years of marriage to Shengli? I dare not say that I am a very good mother-in-law, but since the day you came into the family, have I ever treated you harshly? Have I ever set rules for you? I don't say that I treat you as my own daughter, but that's almost the same! Whatever I buy for Bao Fang, you will never be left out. You and Shengli are divorcing because your fate has come to an end. Isn't it good not to bother each other? You said you wanted to see Xiaobao. If you really had feelings for Xiaobao, you would not choose the property over Xiaobao when you divorced! You know exactly why you divorced. In front of all the young and old men in the village, do you dare to tell Shengli why he divorced you?"
Su Yun's face suddenly turned pale!
