The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 271: The House Where No One Collects Rent

As soon as Liang Xinyue heard it, she knew that Captain Liu had received instructions from his superiors.

Xiaoxiao said:

"No, the county hasn't notified the start date yet, so I can't make the decision on how to arrange it now. Captain Liu, I came to see you today for something personal."

Captain Liu still said with a smile:

"Then you tell me. I will definitely help you if I can."

Liang Xinyue said:

"I want to ask if there are any empty houses in your brigade. My family may come over to live here for a while, and I want to rent a house for them."

Captain Liu scratched his head and said:

"Comrade Liang, there are definitely houses. One is the former educated youth center of the brigade headquarters, but now the county has transferred all the educated youth away. This side is empty. There are four rooms, but they are all separate and individual."

"There is also a family in our team. There were only two people in the family. They went to the provincial capital and said they were making revolution. But I heard that they did something wrong and were locked up. I am in charge of the house and they can live there."

"In addition, there is a big landlord's house and two courtyards. The others were divided up, but no one wanted these two courtyards. I heard that the landlord beat a farmhand to death in them. Now a family has some firewood stored in these two courtyards."

"As for the best houses, I think the two courtyards of the landlord are the best. There are wells in them, so they are warm in winter and cool in summer. Then there are the houses in the educated youth camps. You can take a look at them first. You can choose any one you want. It doesn't matter whether you rent it or not. When your family comes, they become our family. Just live there."

"No, you still have to pay when you are due."

Liang Xinyue said.

Captain Liu deliberately frowned and said:

"Who do you want to pay to? The housing at the youth education center is originally owned by the government. The government will never rent out housing. It's all arranged by the government. Now I can arrange for you to live there."

"I am the one taking care of the house of that person from our village, but if it were not there, would I still charge you rent? Isn't that a joke? I am not the owner."

"And the landlord's house. The landlord was knocked down a long time ago, but the house survived because it was well-repaired. Who did you rent it from?"

Liang Xinyue was unable to refute this logic for a moment!

"Come on, come on. I'll show you the houses first. See that row over there? There were originally five houses, but now one is used as a storage room. There are four left. That's where the educated youth used to live. It's a little far to get water because this was the brigade headquarters and there was no one to cook. So we had to go to the well at the entrance of the village."

Then he led Liang Xinyue to the other side. Then he pointed to a house behind a small forest and said:

"This yard belongs to the two people I mentioned, and that yard over there is my home, so the key to the house of this family over here was given to me, and I am taking care of it."

Then, opposite the house he mentioned, there were paddy fields all around, with an island-like area in the middle and some trees on it. He brought Liang Xinyue over:

"To be honest, the landlord will choose a good place. This place is quiet and comfortable for building a house. This landlord has a big yard. He used to be a big landlord here."

Liang Xinyue came closer and saw that it was indeed a large courtyard. There were two large stone lions at the entrance, but they were covered with moss. When the door was opened, there was also a screen wall.

"There is another courtyard next to this main courtyard. No one lives in these two courtyards. There were several courtyards behind them, which were divided among several poor farmers. They come in and out from that side. There is almost no one here."

He took Liang Xinyue to look at the small courtyard. It was actually not small, and there was a small back door:

"Mr. Xiao Sanye's family next door has put some firewood here. If you want to live here, I'll ask them to move out. You see, there are beds here. Someone wants this bed, but it hasn't been moved. It's nailed to the stone."

Liang Xinyue also looked at each room. There were some tables and chairs, but they were covered with dust and cobwebs, and it looked like no one had lived there for a long time.

The large yard outside is not small either. Liang Xinyue is quite fond of it. It seems that this landlord is not just a landlord, but also a cultured landlord. The structure of this house is indeed a little different.

Liang Xinyue's heart moved:

"It is indeed more convenient here, because my brother's leg is broken and he may need to recover for a long time. If there is a well here, I can use it."

Captain Liu slapped his thigh and said:

"Oh, then you really need to take care of it, but it's really much more convenient to live here. If you decide to live here, I'll ask a few people to clean up this place tomorrow. Your family came from a faraway place, so they must have only brought some soft things. So, there are still some tables and beds at the educated youth camp over there, I'll move them over for you."

Captain Liu was notified to go to the commune and met the deputy county magistrate. The deputy county magistrate talked to him personally and talked about the idea of ​​setting up a greenhouse pilot project in their village.

He didn't know much about greenhouses, but when he saw the small greenhouse at Uncle Liu's house, he knew that although it was not much, there were indeed green vegetables growing in it.

Moreover, I heard from several brothers of the Liu family that they saw with their own eyes when they went to help Comrade Liang farm that Comrade Liang was able to grow vegetables in winter, and his rice has now grown so much that it has covered the forest.

(Sealed forest: refers to the rice seedlings growing so lushly that you can’t see the paddy fields in the gaps, only the seedlings.)

Therefore, as long as Comrade Liang wanted to come and give them guidance, he would be very welcome. Anyway, the deputy county chief said that they should completely listen to Comrade Liang.

I was planning to find an opportunity to ask my uncle to take me to meet Comrade Liang in the next two days, but I didn't expect Comrade Liang to come to me suddenly, and the favor was very simple. Just helping him could solve Comrade Liang's big problem.

Captain Liu said this, Liang Xinyue thought for a moment and said:

"That might work. I can even bring my kids here to live. You don't need to help with the cleaning. I'll get a few people to do it for a day."

Captain Liu was so anxious that he jumped up and down:

"Comrade Liang, you don't treat us as your family. Let me tell you, there are a lot of us who are idle right now. If I ask people to come and do some work for a day, I guarantee everyone will want to come."

Uncle Liu also said:

"Comrade Liang, leave this matter to us. We will make sure it is handled properly."

Liang Xinyue seemed to have heard some hidden meaning. She guessed that they wanted to give some work points to the villagers?

Liang Xinyue thought for a moment and said:

"Okay, thank you very much. We don't need the back door here. If there are bricks, we will seal it up because our two nephews are very naughty and we are afraid they will run out."

She didn't mention Zhou Xiaoying's matter, not because she was afraid of embarrassment, but it was better not to talk about such things in advance.
