Becoming a stepmother in the 80th courtyard

Chapter 50 "Story of the Compound"

Seeing Xiao Zhan staring at her clothes in a daze, An Qiyue thought he was despising her, and said angrily, "Why, I haven't seen a patch before."

Really, isn't it just a beggar's costume? As for looking stupid, she is begging for food from the God of Wealth - pretending to be poor, do you understand?

Xiao Zhan quickly came back to his senses, "No, I was thinking, if the distribution ticket is issued next month, you can make a new dress." Then find someone else to collect enough money to make one.

"Well, you are sensible." An Qiyue was immediately happy, no matter if it was true or false, at least it would be good to say it nicely.

"Heh~ let's go then." The young daughter-in-law's arrogant look is also pretty.

It was only when An Qiyue followed Xiao Zhan to the gate of the military compound that she realized that this was different from what she had imagined.

Walking all the way, I felt that the whole road was quiet and mysterious, but when I walked to the door, I realized that the inside is so big!

How old is it?It's the kind that feels like you can't go all the way from east to west, north to south, but it's as big as you can see with the naked eye.

And there are sentries guarding the door, because the green wooden watchtower behind the sentries is very conspicuous.

As soon as the sentry saw Xiao Zhan, he immediately saluted and greeted, "Hello, chief!" (Don't get me wrong, the sentry called all the soldiers in the compound this way.)
In short, I just know each other, otherwise I wouldn't let you in.

Following Xiao Zhan all the way in, An Qiyue discovered that everything from barber shops to canteens, from canteens to clinics, from kindergartens to elementary schools and even junior high schools, was all there.

There are also many playgrounds.

That's right, don't those cadres and soldiers have to do exercises in the morning.

According to Xiao Zhan's explanation, there is an auditorium behind.

And the children and parents in this compound are from all corners of the country, and they all speak different accents, don't you understand?It doesn't matter, the children will play together all at once.

It's fun and familiar, if you don't come next time, other children will go to your gate and shout, I heard that the battle is like marching and fighting.

It wasn't until it was time to play and the parents of each family called for dinner, everyone went home, and even invited each other to ask for a time and place to play together next time.

The residences in the compound have their own life siege and their own system, and they are all code-named by the compound number. If anyone asks, they will say that they live in a certain courtyard.

Of course, the children in the compound are born with a sense of superiority. After all, they live in a house allocated by the army. They have a military line phone at home. They have played with guns since they were young. Of course, they like to wear military uniforms wherever they go, especially in winter. The military coat is worn with suede military hooks.

When there were no cars on the street, there were Hongqi, Volga, and (old) Mercedes-Benz in the compound. So where do you think these children’s sense of superiority comes from?

What's even more superior is that there are special offerings in the compound, such as white rabbit toffee, chocolate, compressed biscuits, whole baskets of fruits, various canned food for war preparations, and some alcohol and tobacco that cannot be bought outside.

However, the people in the big courtyard are also very "xenophobic", that is, they form a circle of their own, and generally do not associate with people outside the courtyard easily.

Also, these children have known since they were young which family has a higher level and which family has a phone and TV. Children with lower levels are basically unable to get in the conversation and are even often teased. (What he didn't say is that his family Xiao Jianmin was like this before.)
However, Xiao Zhan said that this has both advantages and disadvantages, and this group of children is also bad. Once he saw children carrying baskets picking up excrement outside the courtyard wall, but the group of children in the compound lay on the wall when they saw them coming. Throw stones at people, and say: "Beat the soil turtle" while hitting people.

There is a story about the compound:
Two children had a dispute over an event, and a child whose father was the chief of staff came over to mediate:

——What level is your dad?
—Colonel.

——What level is your dad?
——Lieutenant.

The chief of staff's son said decisively: "Listen to the colonel."

Of course, this is just a joke among children. Of course, the adults didn't take it seriously, but even so, it spread.

In fact, the truth is not always the case. How did these children know this when they first started, but no matter whether your father is a bureau chief, division chief, or deputy minister, whoever can play and who can play will be awesome!
Who is the "Kid King" and "leader" of their group of children.

When they heard this story, they said that it was a country idea.

The children in the courtyard also have their own identity marks.

For example, the kids in the navy wear blue and white socks, their sneakers are polished white, and their bicycles are also very particular. The back seat is removed, and the companion sits on the front beam;
The children of the Air Force have an army upper body and a navy lower body, that is, the upper body is green and the lower body is blue, and the flight jacket is very showy;
The children of the army are more awesome in green, with the bicycle seat pulled up to the highest, with one in front and one in the back, roaring past.

When they get older, they drive around in military vehicles. Children in the army compound can't tolerate their friends wearing army underwear and socks. If they wear double army rubber shoes, they will be despised like turkeys.

(The above are all exaggerated by Xiao Zhan for some of his own welfare when Xiao Zhan and his son Xiao Jianmin had a "father-son war". Xiao Zhan summarized it.)
In fact, big boys generally have a romantic aura about them. Those who can play airsoft or carry a guitar and can sing a couple of songs are extremely talented people.

The size of the army yards is different. The smaller the yard, the fewer people there are, the more united they are.

Whether there is war or peace between the courtyards, it all depends on the personal relationship of the "possible" kid king in each courtyard. The children around them all followed suit.

I also learn to wear "loop clothes" in military uniforms, and the shoes are "three joints". I shaved school boots or paratrooper boots with flat or short cuts, and ended up fighting countless "battles".

If the two children are classmates or buddies, the children in the two houses may get along well with each other. If there are "things" outside, they may also "help" each other.

If there is discord between the kid kings, then the two courtyards will be sworn enemies!There were endless calls of "Bie Beier", so much so that the children in the courtyard did not dare to go out alone.

The children in these courtyards can search every corner of the courtyard when they are free, hide during the day, and squat in a corner at night to scare their companions.

The children in the courtyard have been in this "small society" since they were young. They have similar hobbies and interests, and naturally share a common childhood...

The compound where Xiao Zhan lives is not all high-ranking cadres, there are also some soldier cadres who guard the logistics.

Depending on their rank, age and marital status, these people live in different areas of the dormitory building.

But basically the door at home is never locked, just close the door when you go out, and you won’t lose anything anyway, it’s just that safe.
