Gu Hanchuan's safe return finally brought a sigh of relief to both Ye Nuan and Song Huili.

Gu Hanchuan's profession is indeed something that makes people worry too much.

After listening to what Song Huili said, Gu Hanchuan nodded slightly, his expression somewhat serious: "You don't need to worry about this matter. I'll take you all back in a couple of days to get all the necessary paperwork done. Do your parents know about your job situation?"

"understood."

Gu Hanchuan was not clear about the specific situation in Anshi, so it would be better to call and confirm it later.

The situation is unclear now, and all sorts of shady and despicable people dare to jump out and cause trouble.

The next day, Gu Hanchuan returned to the army and drafted new training plans and goals in his office. He wanted to finish these as soon as possible and then marry Ye Nuan.

He could tell that Ye Nuan's feelings for him were much more obvious now, and they even had a house, so getting married as soon as possible was the right thing to do.

Gu Hanchuan had just started to speak when the knocking on the door interrupted his train of thought, and he immediately said with displeasure, "Come in."

As the door was pushed open, Gu Hanchuan looked over and saw Wang Jianming, the regimental commander.

"Oh, it's Wang Tuan. What's up?"

Gu Hanchuan stood up and walked out. There was a sofa in the office, so he planned to sit down and chat with him.

Wang Jianming's expression was somewhat unnatural as he stopped Gu Hanchuan, who was about to pour him some water.

"Brother, I've run into some trouble and have no choice but to come to you for help."

Gu Hanchuan asked, puzzled, "What?"

Wang Jianming really didn't know how to bring it up; it was too embarrassing.

But if I don't tell her, my wife at home will make a scene when I get back, which is a real headache.

"Well, I'm a bit older than you, and I have four children. My eldest is getting married soon, but we just can't fit them all in this house. Your family got two more rooms than mine, so I wanted to talk to you about whether we could switch."

Gu Hanchuan's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes had clearly become colder: "Commander Wang, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that this house was allocated by the higher-ups, and I accepted it according to the organization's wishes. Besides, I remember that although your family doesn't have many rooms, the yard is quite large, so you can add another room yourself."

How could Wang Jianming not know this?

The two houses actually occupy the same area, but Wang Jianming's house does not have an east wing. If he wants to build one himself, wouldn't that cost money?

Moreover, this is a family compound, and if you want to build a house here, you have to apply for permission. Not just anyone can come and move around freely.

Actually, the house that Gu Hanchuan was allocated didn't originally have an east wing. It was built by the previous owner who lived there, and it just so happened that the previous owner was transferred, so the house ended up with the new owner, Gu Hanchuan.

At first glance, there seem to be quite a few rooms: three main rooms, four more rooms in the east and west wings, making a total of seven rooms. How many people could possibly live there!

But in reality?

The southernmost room in the west wing is the toilet, which was renovated a few years ago and still has a flush system. Next to the west wing is a storage room.

There is a kitchen and a woodshed in the east wing.

Although they have coal briquettes available, the supply is limited, so most families need to burn firewood. Some families will go to the forests or mountains to collect or cut firewood, while others will pay for it or exchange it for other things.

Suddenly, all four side rooms were uninhabitable.

Of course, the room next to the toilet, if tidied up, would be barely habitable.

Gu Hanchuan mainly felt that what Wang Jianming did was unethical.

Didn't he see me fiddling around and painting the walls before?

If you really wanted to move, why didn't you bring it up then?

Now that I've solved all these problems and they've moved in, they're asking me to switch rooms?

Anyway, I feel a bit uncomfortable.

“Xiao Gu, don’t take it personally. I’m not like you. My family is poor, and I have parents to support. There are so many mouths to feed in the family, and we’re relying on my salary alone. To be honest, if we have to spend money to build a house, I really can’t afford it.”

Gu Hanchuan didn't believe that.

After all, Wang Jianming is a regimental commander, and his current salary is over 140 yuan. He can afford to feed two more people.

"Commander Wang, it's not that I'm not giving you face, it's just that we've already renovated the house, and it's intended to be our new home. My daughter Nuannuan has even changed the curtains and everything, so this really isn't appropriate. Why don't you go talk to the leaders again and see if you can come up with a solution?"

The person who allocated the house to you was from above, not him. Why should he give the house to you?

Gu Hanchuan had already given up his housing allocation twice, but now that he was getting married, he absolutely couldn't give it up again.

Although it was a house swap, just thinking about the slovenly appearance of the Wang family's children made him feel that the house was uninhabitable.

Seeing that Gu Hanchuan wouldn't budge, and since he was in the wrong to begin with, Wang Jianming didn't press the matter further and got up to leave.

Unbeknownst to both of them, Ye Nuan was cornered by Tian Guihua as soon as she got off work today.

"Sister Tian, ​​is there anything I can help you with?"

When Ye Nuan got off work, she decided to buy some groceries on her way home. Although she had plenty of ingredients in her storage space, she couldn't just keep eating without buying anything, lest she attract unwanted attention.

Unlike last time, Tian Guihua didn't have a stern face this time. Instead, she smiled very kindly: "Xiao Ye, it's nothing. I just wanted to ask when you're moving so we can hurry up and pack our things."

Ye Nuan was stunned by these words: "Move what?"

When Tian Guihua saw her like this, she was slightly taken aback: "Oh, I'm sorry for being so talkative. I guess Xiao Gu hasn't told you yet? Well, our family has a lot of people but not many houses, while your family has a lot of people but many houses, so we were thinking of exchanging houses. Anyway, we're not far apart, so moving will be convenient."

Ye Nuan was genuinely confused by these words: "Moving? What house? I don't know anything about that."

Ye Nuan said that she wanted to go back and figure out what was going on herself.

But Tian Guihua wasn't willing to give way, and she blocked the person's path again with her leg.

"Xiao Ye, I'm not trying to criticize you, but your mindset isn't good enough! You need to learn from Xiao Gu. Look at Xiao Gu, he became a deputy regimental commander at such a young age. He certainly can't be like you, only thinking about himself. Besides, Xiao Gu agreed to the house swap, after all, it was allocated to him. You're not even married to him yet, you can't expect to be the man in charge, can you?"

That's infuriating!

Ye Nuan said coldly, "I don't know if you can make decisions for your man, but I can make decisions about my family matters with Gu Hanchuan! You keep talking about changing houses, but who agreed to that? Did the leaders agree? You said Gu Hanchuan agreed, but he didn't tell me, so he didn't agree! Please move aside and don't block the way!"
