Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant Chapter 943 - 945: You Are Absolutely Right
Yunyi asked Sister-in-law Lü to find a basin, add fresh water, and soak the chopped salted fish in it. To help draw out the salty flavor, she added a pinch of salt to the water.
After that, the two began chatting as they wrapped dumplings.
Sister-in-law Lü was responsible for rolling the dough, while Yunyi was in charge of filling them.
Yunyi placed the finished dumplings on a nearby tray: "Sister-in-law, I’m new here, and I don’t really know much about the situation in the family pound. Why don’t you share some of your experience?"
Sister-in-law Lü liked Yunyi’s straightforward nature; she wasn’t the pretentious type: "Our family pound is quite large, you know. Our section is all posed of camp-level, deputy regiment level, and regiment level personnel, and the housing structure is the same for all of us.
Over there, it’s occupied by pany-level and platoon-level personnel, and their houses are one room less than ours, but otherwise the same.
The newly built apartments on the west side are in quite a mess; there are some with three rooms, some with two, and some with just one, and they’re allocated based on rank.
Actually, in my opinion, living in an apartment might be cleaner, but it’s not as fortable as living in this pound, at least the space is more generous."
After saying that, she looked up and asked: "As you applied for housing later on, why did you also choose a single-story house?"
Yunyi smiled and said: "I’m like you; I prefer the spaciousness of single-story houses. Besides, nowadays the apartments don’t have good soundproofing; to be blunt, you can even hear a sneeze from next door. There’s absolutely no privacy."
Sister-in-law Lü didn’t expect Yunyi to say that and laughed outright: "You’re absolutely right, sister.
Initially, I also thought about moving into an apartment, but I couldn’t bear to leave the pound, afraid that there wouldn’t be a place to keep the chickens we have at home. Looking back now, I’m glad I didn’t apply to move; otherwise I’d probably regret it terribly.
Previously, it was Deputy Regimental mander Zhang from the Second Group who lived in the backyard. I got along well with Sister-in-law Shi from Deputy Regimental mander Zhang’s family; she was among the first to apply for a housing change. She later told me that we were wise not to apply for a housing change, as her next-door neighbors often quarreled or fought every few days, which was a real nuisance to them.
The military did try to mediate, but after a few days, it was back to the same old, which was really frustrating for them."
Upon hearing this, Yunyi asked: "Jingrui mentioned there were still vacant houses in this pound. If they’re bothered by the noise, why don’t they apply to move back here?"
Sister-in-law Lü sighed: "She wanted to, but Deputy Regimental mander Zhang didn’t agree, saying this isn’t a vegetable market. They just moved into an apartment not long ago and now want to move back to a single-story house; it wouldn’t look good to the leaders.
So she can only endure it for now."
It’s true, if everyone frequently applied for housing changes like this, it would cause chaos.
Then, the conversation shifted to mander Gong’s family from the Fourth Group: "Sister-in-law, mander Gong’s wife has given birth a few days ago, what’s up with her family?"
Sister-in-law Lü sighed: "mander Gong’s wife, Chen Lili, is really unlucky. Not only was she accidentally bumped by mander Qiao’s son and had a premature delivery, but her in-laws said that her young brother-in-law is getting engaged soon, so they can’t e for now.
As for her family, her eldest sister-in-law’s mother is ill and in the hospital, and there’s no one to look after the children, so mander Gong’s mother-in-law is at home watching the grandchildren. Everything just happened at once.
A few military wives that we’re quite good with talked it over and decided to take turns looking after her, one day at a time, until everyone has had their turn. By then, her in-laws will hopefully be able to e."
Speaking of this, Sister-in-law Lü felt heartfelt: "Being a military wife isn’t easy, and even more so for those who acpany their husbands on assignments. It’s not unmon to go months without seeing them, let alone the families who haven’t followed them, sometimes years go by without seeing their men."
