Chapter 670 New Home
Huo Yiting was the first to laugh and patted Huo Yisheng on the shoulder: "Of course! Even though you were exiled, it didn't affect your work at all!"
Huo Yisheng shrugged his hand off: "That's all thanks to my wife. The twins, a boy and a girl, were just born and are still very small."
Tang Jiaying immediately said, "It's okay, I can help take care of it when I get over there!"
Huo Yiting: "Well, things are quite chaotic here. I'm afraid the women won't be able to find work before the New Year. It's a good opportunity for me to stay home and take care of the children and get familiar with the environment."
Huo Yisheng had guessed it long ago: "Don't worry, take your time!"
He looked around and found that the front yard was larger and had more rooms, while the back yard was smaller and had only five rooms.
He pointed to the three large rooms in the front yard and a small room on the side and asked, "Can I choose these?"
Huo Yiting: "You can live wherever you want."
Huo Yisheng pointed to the three rooms on the east side and the three rooms on the back, and said, "Leave these rooms for me for the time being."
It is reserved for Lao Ren and Lao Zhou, but it depends on whether they are willing.
Logically speaking, Huo Yisheng and Huo Yiting can get four rooms, and Lao Ren and Lao Zhou can get three rooms.
However, this only works if there are sufficient houses available, after all, there are still many officers and soldiers who need housing.
If there are not enough houses, each family can only get one or two rooms.
But Huo Yiting said: "I can still make the decisions about the affairs of this courtyard."
After all, they are brothers. As soon as he said this, Huo Yisheng understood that Huo Yiting was deliberately being so high-profile!
In other words, they wanted to use the issue of distributing houses to see how many people would come forward.
They had just arrived and wanted to tidy up the place, but it would be difficult to do so in a stagnant pool, so they had to stir up some waves!
Tang Jiaying said, "Then I'll clean the room for you first, and the furniture will also need to be put away."
Huo Yisheng entered the main house and looked around the four rooms. He felt that it was not suitable. "It's too cold here in the winter. We can't do without a kang. We can't stand it at night. We need to build a kang."
His wife was terribly cold and couldn't live without a kang.
Huo Yiting and his family used to live in the south. Although they knew that the climate in the Ebony District would be cold, they had never experienced it firsthand.
Hearing what he said, Mrs. Tang couldn't help but worry. It was okay for adults, but children couldn't stand the cold!
Huo Yiting said, "How do we build it? I'll build it at home too."
Huo Yisheng didn't bother to be polite. He took out a pen and paper and drew a blueprint for him: "Choose two or three people who are quick and skillful. It can be completed in a day or two."
Huo Yiting immediately arranged for the guards to buy materials and start building the kang.
Huo Yisheng pointed to the other houses in the front yard and said, "Since we've already started, let's just do it together."
After the small matter was settled, Huo Yiting ordered a team to follow Huo Yisheng and Lao Ren to Baoshan Village that day.
On the way, Huo Yisheng told him in detail about the situation in Baoshan Village, and then asked him: "What are you going to do?"
Huo Yiting pondered for a moment and said, "So, almost everyone in Baoshan Village is guilty. If that's the case, we should arrest the main culprits and execute them, and then convict the accomplices one by one."
Huo Yisheng: "My wall can't hold so many people."
Huo Yiting: "Then let's just turn Baoshan Village into a prison. There's land there too, which is perfect for producing enough food to meet the mandate."
"All others who have not committed any crime should be relocated and dispersed to labor factories."
Huo Yisheng felt that there was no better way than this, so he remained silent.
After all, if an entire village commits evil and no punishment is given, it is a contempt of the law!
They went to Baoshan Village first. After the two sides completed the handover, Huo Yisheng specifically instructed Huo Yiting: "Zhang Jinshu must be kept under strict custody. She must not be allowed to come into contact with anyone! She has a serious case!"
As he said that, he gave him the files of the investigation into Zhang Jinshu so far.
Huo Yiting took it: "Don't worry."
It is impossible to make mistakes when someone falls into his hands.
With him around, Huo Yisheng could indeed feel at ease.
So he took his men back to the camp.
Ye Shu was so happy when she heard the good news he brought back: "Can we have four rooms in our house?"
Huo Yisheng: "Yes, one small room and three large rooms. The small one is the side room next to the main room."
He was very familiar with the layout of this type of courtyard house, and fearing that Ye Shu didn't know what was going on, he explained it to her in detail.
Because the courtyards in the capital have been renovated, the side rooms are not much smaller than the main rooms.
However, Wumu Town has not been rebuilt much and still retains some of its original flavor.
Ye Shu was still very happy: "This is great, we can separate the kitchen and the bedroom! When the children grow up, they can have their own rooms!"
Having said this, she couldn't help but glance at him sideways.
Sometimes he made so much noise that she couldn't bear it, and she was afraid that the children who slept in the same room with them would hear it.
Besides, as the children grow older and sleep in the same room, she really doesn't dare to do that with him anymore.
Huo Yisheng: "Yes, the one who worked with me to clean up the Ebony District was my eldest brother. My eldest sister-in-law is here too. We will live in the same yard from now on."
This surprised Ye Shu, but then he was delighted: "It's so rare for the whole family to get together at a time like this!"
Huo Yisheng: "Yes."
Ye Shu thought for a moment and asked, "Is it still not possible to write to the capital?"
Huo Yisheng: "No."
Ye Shu sighed inwardly, but didn't show it on his face. He said, "Then I'll tell Sister Jin and the others to load some things into the car and send it over first, shall we?"
Huo Yisheng: "Well, the transport team will leave tomorrow."
Mrs. Jin and Zhuang Jingjing were very happy to learn that they were each assigned three rooms, and then they started to clean up quickly.
Because when they knew that Huo Yisheng's elder brother and his wife had also come to Wumu District, and that Huo's elder brother was Huo Yisheng's official leader, they immediately said:
"Let's pack up some first, then we'll go to the mountains to pick some wild vegetables and mushrooms. The vegetables in the fields are ripe, so let's collect some first and store them in the cellar in town for the winter!"
Once you get busy, time flies.
The weather was getting colder, and finally, on October 1st, they got on a bus to leave the camp.
Because it was cold, everyone wore thick military coats, hats, scarves, and gloves, and held bottles of hot saline in their arms.
The adults wrapped the children, and several adults huddled together to keep each other warm.
Because Sisi and Xiaowu were only two months old and could not afford to be exposed to the cold and wind, Huo Yisheng drove a jeep and let Ye Shu sit in the back seat with the children.
She spread thick blankets on the back seat and wrapped the children in them, which at least blocked some of the cold wind and made it less cold.
Moreover, in the car, if the bottle of hot salt water used to keep the children warm gets cold, she can immediately take out a hot one from the space bag.
Their team arrived at the garrison area of Wumu Town. When Ye Shu and the others finally got home, heavy snow finally began to fall from the sky that had been dark for two days.
