Chapter 231 Concern
Before calling the military, Xu Sui picked up Du Mei and her two children from the guesthouse and found a guesthouse near Guihua Hutong for them to stay at.
Although the Ma family had been driven out, the house only contained some basic furniture and nothing else, especially no beds or blankets, so it was uninhabitable for the time being.
And the bed in the master bedroom is the bed that Zhang Xiaoling and Ma Fenggang used when they were newlyweds.
To be honest, it's better not to know, because knowing it makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.
Xu Sui didn't really want to sleep in that bed, so it definitely had to be changed. It was getting late, and she couldn't deal with those things right now, so she had to wait until tomorrow.
The military side.
Qin Yunzhou had been waiting for Xu Sui's call since he returned from his mission this morning.
The train is a mixed bag; all sorts of people are on board, and anything can happen.
Xu Sui's group consisted of the elderly, the young, and two young women. If anything were to happen, none of them would be able to fight back.
Especially in places like train stations, there are many people who abduct children.
"Political Commissar Qin, the phone's ringing. Your wife is calling."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yunzhou could no longer hold back and hurried over.
The soldier who ran over to call for help smiled when he saw him like this, then turned and went to talk to someone.
"It's true that getting married makes all the difference. Now, when our political commissar has free time, he's either looking at photos of his wife and children or waiting for her call."
"Others write letters because they think phone calls are too expensive, but they keep writing letters and making phone calls every month. I bet this call will last for more than ten minutes."
Making phone calls is expensive. At this rate, with two people so far apart, each call will cost at least several dollars.
That's enough to buy three or four pounds of meat; most people wouldn't be willing to part with that.
It's just that their family's political commissar allowance is high, so they don't care about this little bit of money.
At this moment, someone spoke up, "I feel like the political commissar has become a different person since he came back from recuperating in his hometown. I remember someone introduced him to a girl who was very pretty and worked as a nurse at our military hospital, but our political commissar refused."
"She also said she has no plans to get married."
"Look at him now, only a year or two has passed, and he's like a completely different person."
Someone chuckled, "You just don't understand. A wife, kids, and a warm bed—of course you won't get addicted until you've experienced it. But once you've tasted it, hehehe, isn't that just like our political commissar, thinking about it every day?"
Their political commissar had only been married for a little over a year, so he was still considered newlywed. His wife and children hadn't come to join him at the military base, so of course he missed them terribly.
……
Qin Yunzhou had already received the call, but he had no idea that someone was talking about him behind his back.
A familiar woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello, it's me."
"Are you alright over there?" Qin Yunzhou asked as soon as he answered the phone.
Xu Sui nodded. "Yeah, it's okay."
"We arrived in Beijing safely and found your house there, but when we found it, a family was still living there."
"Their surname is Ma. Was the previous owner of this house also surnamed Ma?"
After driving those people out.
It was getting dark, and she was busy picking up her child and calling Qin Yunzhou from the post office, so she didn't have time to figure out what had happened.
But judging from the family's behavior, they'll probably cause trouble again after they get out of the police station.
Sometimes, she was quite glad that she had brought the old lady along; otherwise, if anything happened, Xiaomei, a young girl of sixteen or seventeen, wouldn't have been able to handle it at school or at home.
Qin Yunzhou frowned, his eyes darkening. "Someone moved in early?"
"Did nothing serious happen?"
Xu Sui shook her head. "Nothing happened. I have the property certificate you gave me. That family has been taken away by the police, but I'm afraid that after I go back to school in a few days, they will come looking for me after they get out of the police station."
She observed today that none of the people seemed to know that the house had been sold.
Nine times out of ten, they were scammed.
Qin Yunzhou thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "That is possible."
"I'll make a call later. I have a childhood friend who's a captain in the police force. I'll ask him to help me find out more about this and help me resolve this issue."
"Don't worry, we won't let them cause any more trouble in front of you."
Beijing is the capital city with good public security, so ordinary people really don't dare to do anything reckless, because if they do, they will be arrested.
Xu Sui breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."
"By the way, how have you been doing in the army lately? Are you alright?"
She actually wanted to advise him not to work so hard, but then she remembered that she had already advised him before she left her hometown.
Now, if we try to persuade them too much, we might end up having the opposite effect.
Qin Yunzhou's voice softened slightly.
"I'm fine."
Suddenly, he remembered something else and paused.
"There's something I forgot to tell you. The house we were allocated is going to be taken back."
"There are quite a few family members who want to come and accompany the military, and housing is in short supply. There are many people waiting in line for housing. But don't worry, after you finish university and come with your child, you will definitely be able to get housing again."
Xu Sui wasn't too surprised. Fortunately, the house hadn't been decorated much when she was still in the army, so she wasn't too heartbroken about losing it.
"It's alright, there's still plenty of time."
"Just remember to take the pots and pans we left there; we don't need anything else."
In that room, only the big iron pot and the kitchen knife were expensive; they had spent a lot of industrial ration coupons to buy those things when they got married. The rest of the items weren't worth much.
Qin Yunzhou nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I've already moved all the things we bought for our wedding to the dorm that I could carry."
He wasn't short of money, but he hadn't forgotten that when he was injured and had to return to his hometown, quite a few people had their eyes on their big iron pot and kitchen knife.
Because of this incident, Xu Sui got into an argument with someone in the corridor of the tenement building that night.
At the time, he was unable to move around easily because he had just been discharged from the hospital, and he happened to be inside the house listening to the whole process.
To be honest, he was a little surprised at that time.
Xu Sui smiled and said, "I've always trusted you to handle things."
"By the way, I'll be starting school in five days. I plan to clean and decorate the house again in the next few days, since I'll be living here for four years."
"We still need to put some thought into it."
Especially in her room, everything else can remain the same, but the bed must be replaced.
Qin Yunzhou thought for a moment, "Okay, I know someone who can help me..."
"No, there's no need to trouble others with such a small matter. I can handle it myself. If you ask someone for help, you'll end up owing them a favor. Let's forget about it for something so trivial."
