Chapter 9

After nearly an hour of bumping on the tricycle, we finally arrived at the destination, the [-]th Company.

The bungalows there are row by row, and the housing buildings are arranged in an orderly manner.This place is a bit different from the rural areas in the interior. There are no mountains, no rivers and streams here.The trees are planted by the residents themselves, most of which are willows, because willows are easy to survive.

The people here eat the snow water flowing down from the Tianshan Mountains. The snow water from the Tianshan Mountains flows into this place through thousands of miles of canals, and is not sterilized by the water plant. It is directly used by the residents here to drink.

The groundwater in Xinjiang is not drinkable, because the alkali is too heavy and it is not suitable for human consumption.

Wang Lihua thought that only one family lived in that row of houses, but her younger brother Wang Tai told her that there were thirteen families living in that row of thirteen rooms.

Wang Lihua almost fainted. How crowded is it that one family lives in such a narrow house?When she arrived at her younger brother Wang Tai's house, she breathed a sigh of relief.Although the younger brother Wang Tai's family lived in a brick bungalow, it still had a yard, a living room, three bedrooms, and a kitchen.

There are chickens and ducks in the yard, and there are chicken droppings all over the ground.

Wang Lihua walked carefully on tiptoe, for fear of getting her boots dirty, she really regretted it, she should have worn those sneakers.

Su Yuan followed behind her mother very calmly. She remembered that she was much more exaggerated in her previous life than Wang Lihua is now.When she first arrived at her uncle in her previous life, she saw the dirty and smelly yard of his uncle's house, and refused to go in.

In the end, it was her uncle Wang Tai who carried her in.

After entering the house, Wang Lihua finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she asked, "A Tai, which room should Yuanyuan and I sleep in?"

"This is Yuanyuan, isn't it?" At this time, a woman came out of the inner bedroom with a little girl about two years old in her arms.

This woman is none other than Su Yuan's aunt, Chen Ying.

When Wang Lihua saw Chen Ying, she smiled warmly at her, and reached out to hug her little niece.Unexpectedly, this little niece was afraid of strangers, so she threw the crushed biscuit on Wang Lihua's face.

Chen Ying said to their mother and son: "Come with me, I just made a bed for you."

Wang Lihua wiped her face in embarrassment, responded, pulled Su Yuan and followed Chen Ying with her luggage.

Chen Ying led them into the kitchen. The kitchen was dark and dark, and there was a layer of black and greasy things on the stove, which made Wang Lihua's skin crawl.

Wang Lihua thought that the beds that Chen Ying made for them were in the kitchen, but Chen Ying pointed to the beds behind the stove, separated by a black and greasy curtain, and said, "Sister, you can sleep here tonight."

Wang Lihua frowned, and lifted the greasy cloth curtain. The bedding inside was also pitch black, dark and damp.Not to mention Wang Lihua, even Su Yuan was extremely restless at the moment.

She felt that she lay down, and when she got up again, her body would be covered with oil.

Before Wang Lihua could speak, Chen Ying said, "By the way, sister, Artest helped you find a house. Artest has a good relationship with the company commander, and I asked you for a cheap house. One thousand and two."

"One thousand and two?" Wang Lihua was a little embarrassed. She originally planned to live with her younger brother for a while, settle down, earn some money, and then move out with her daughter.

But she didn't expect that the sister-in-law would "drive" them away just after they arrived.

At this time, Wang Tai also came in, and said to him, "Yes, sister, the company's house was originally tight. The company commander said that it was only allocated to those who farmed at home. There are no farmers like you who are outsiders. , I wouldn’t give you a house to live in.”

Aunt Chen Ying's "company commander" is equivalent to the village head, who manages the entire company of farmers and migrant workers.

Chen Ying said with a look of embarrassment: "Sister, you don't know that Artest ran to the company commander's house every night in order to fight for a house for you, and brought a few bottles of good wine to the house. A lot of money."

Their tone, what is it if they don't drive them away?What the brother and sister-in-law did made Wang Lihua feel sad for a while.

She took a deep breath, and it took a long time before she said: "A Tai, do you have a place here that accepts gold jewelry? After I sell the jewelry and get some money, I will rent a house."

Chen Ying's eyes lit up when she heard the jewelry, "Is it gold?"

"Yes." Wang Lihua said as she knelt down to open the suitcase and took out the jewelry together.She wrapped the gold ornaments in satin cloth, took out the jade bracelet and put it back on her wrist.

Chen Ying looked at the gold jewelry and the shiny jade bracelet on her hand, her eyeballs almost fell out.

Wang Tai said: "There is none in the company, only in the regiment headquarters. Why didn't you tell me when you got off the car just now? I sold the gold jewelry at the regiment headquarters by the way, and now I have to make another trip."

Wang Lihua was also a little embarrassed. When she was in the regiment headquarters, how did she know that her brother and sister-in-law would "drive" her away so quickly?
