Two generations of military wives compete for time

Boss Shi said: "The procedures for returning the property should not be very complicated, but the difficulty is that it may be difficult for the residents to move out in a short time. Housing in Beijing is very tight now. I estimate that there are about 20 households living in this yard. Can it be vacated in one year or three years? It's hard to judge. We will take it one step at a time and see."

Mrs. Shi said, "Back then, it took nearly three years for our Shi Mansion to be vacant."

At noon, Boss Shi and his wife hosted a warm banquet at the Shi Mansion for Grandpa Kuang, Taoist Priest Yuan Yanqin, Qian Yizheng, driver Xiao Sun, Cui Qingquan and their group.

Boss Shi's son and daughter-in-law went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up and came home. Boss Shi's wife introduced their son and daughter-in-law to the guests who had come from a faraway northern provincial capital. After getting to know each other and exchanging greetings, everyone sat down together to have lunch.

Grandpa Kuang signaled to Cui Qingquan to open a bottle of Kuangfu family wine that he had collected for many years, and let Boss Shi taste his family's ancestral wine.

Boss Shi asked in surprise: "Mr. Kuang, is the Kuangfu family wine passed down from your family? I must try it. It will definitely be a different and wonderful feeling to taste my own ancestral wine with the descendants of the ancestral wine. I am so lucky, hehe."

Mrs. Shi said, "Old Shi, you should drink less. Too much alcohol will damage your liver."

Grandpa Kuang said: "One or two ounces of strong liquor every day can relax the muscles and activate blood circulation, which is good for the body. We should drink less. As the saying goes, good things should not be used too much, hahaha."

Qian Yizhen asked Boss Shi's daughter-in-law, "Sister, when is the due date? Have you found a confinement nanny? I'm an expert in finding confinement nannies."

Boss Shi's daughter-in-law said shyly, "I'm only four months pregnant. I haven't considered hiring a confinement nanny yet. I'll let my mother make all the arrangements."

Mrs. Shi said, "Daughter-in-law, I am investigating which confinement center or confinement nanny has better service, but the good confinement nannies have been booked by other families. I want to learn more about a few more to see if there are better confinement nannies. Don't worry, I promise to arrange the confinement center and confinement nanny before my eldest grandson is born."

Qian Yizhen said, "Mrs. Shi, I run a cleaning, confinement nanny, and elderly care service company in the northern provincial capital. If you need anything, just let me know. Our confinement nanny service is first-class."

Mrs. Shi said, "That's great. A confinement nanny recommended by an acquaintance is more reassuring. I'll be very grateful to you when the time comes."

Taoist Priest Yuan Yanqin said: "My grandson is five months old and now lives in Beijing. He is being looked after by the confinement nannies sent by Minzhen Qizhi Company. They are all professionally trained.

The work is done well in all aspects, and the parents are very relieved and satisfied. You can visit Jingfu and learn about the confinement nanny's care for the baby. "

Boss Shi said with a smile: "More friends, more paths. Let's see, let's see, the matter of the confinement nanny has been sorted out. Come on, let's raise a toast and welcome friends who have come from afar."

Grandpa Kuang raised his glass and took a sip of Kuangfujia wine and said, "Boss Shi, how many years have you lived in this old alley in Beijing? Are there any inconveniences in your life?"

Boss Shi said: "Shi Mansion is our ancestral home. During the war, our ancestors left Beijing to escape the war. I was born in the south. When I was a teenager, my father moved back to the old house in Beijing. I have lived here for nearly 50 years. Now I am used to it and don't feel any inconvenience."

Qian Yizhen asked: "Boss Shi, can you tell us about the Beijing Hutongs?"

Boss Shi said, "It is said that there are more than 3,200 alleys and lanes in Beijing. The most famous alleys include Nanluoguxiang, Yandaixie Street, Dongxicha Hutong at Gongmenkou, Maoer Hutong, Guozijian Street, Jinyu Hutong, Juer Hutong, Liulichang, Xijiaominxiang, etc.

These hutongs not only have a profound historical and cultural heritage, but also retain many ancient buildings and former residences of celebrities, making them an excellent place for tourists to experience the customs of old Beijing. ”.......

After lunch, Qian Yizhen, Grandpa Kuang and his party bid farewell to Boss Shi and his family, returned to the capital and took a short rest. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Qian Yizhen called Ming Yuanhui's comrade-in-arms who worked in the Beijing Housing Management Department to explain the situation.

Ming Yuanhui's comrade Hou Jianguo said: "Sister-in-law, tell me the address and I will pick you up tomorrow. First, go to the housing authority in the area where the property is located to consult. According to the specific situation, we will go through the procedures step by step. We can't be impatient when handling the return of the property. We need to take our time."

Qian Yizhen said, "Director Hou, hello, you don't have to come to pick us up, we have a car, just tell us a time and place, and we'll come to find you, thank you."

The next morning, after breakfast, driver Xiao Sun started the business car and took Grandpa Kuang, Qian Yizheng, and Cui Qingquan to the designated location on time. Director Hou Jianguo was already waiting outside the gate of the housing management department.

After getting to know each other and exchanging pleasantries, Director Hou Jianguo took the land deed and house deed handed over by Grandpa Kuang, looked at them carefully for a while, and then handed them back to Grandpa Kuang and said, "Grandpa, please take them and keep them safe. Come with me, let's go to XXX's office first to ask and see what they say."

Director Hou Jianguo led Grandpa Kuang, Qian Yizhen, and Cui Qingquan to shuttle back and forth between offices with different names such as the housing management department and the land management department. The answer they received was that after all the information was collected, it would be submitted to the relevant departments and wait for review, meeting, resolution, and approval.

After several days of running around, we finally got a clear result. The house deed and land deed left by Grandma Huang are real and valid. The next step is to go through the property return procedures according to law. After submitting the information, we need to wait patiently for the approval of various departments such as housing management and land management before it can be successfully completed.

Qian Yizhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. His trip to Beijing was not in vain. Director Hou Jianguo said, "At noon, I will invite you to have a big meal at the Donglaishun Hotel. I will be the host. Please come and enjoy the meal."

Grandpa Kuang enthusiastically took Director Hou Jianguo's hand and invited him to visit Jingfu. Director Hou Jianguo said, "Ming Yuanhui and I are comrades-in-arms, and it is my duty to help. Grandpa, you are welcome. Wait until the weekend. I will go to Jingfu with my wife to visit you specially on the weekend."

Qian Yizhen said, "Director Hou, how can we let you spend money? You have been running around with us these days and helping us find people to do things. I will treat you. I sincerely thank you."

Qian Yizhen and his group finished lunch at Donglaishun Restaurant, said goodbye to Director Hou Jianguo, and returned to Jingfu happily. Qian Yizhen said, "Grandpa Kuang, we have been busy with house deeds and land deeds these days. Do you want to contact Aunt Kuang Yu and ask her to come to Jingfu so that you two can meet?"

Grandpa Kuang said: "Since Kuang Yu joined the Red Guards in high school, she decided to get married and have a child in Beijing. She basically didn't contact her parents. After the divorce, she raised the child by herself without telling us.

Even though I bought her a house in Beijing, she rarely contacts her parents who are far away in Kuang Mansion. Since her mother Huang Wanying passed away, she has not contacted me anymore. Sigh... I am too old to care about the children's affairs. Let them be."

Qian Yizhen asked: "Grandpa Kuang, what are your plans after returning the ancestral home of Grandma Huang?"
