As they chatted and talked about their daily lives, twenty minutes passed unknowingly.
"Chen 'zi, do you have any ideas about your work arrangements?”
Putting aside the fact that Yang Chen's parents were martyrs and heroes, the government would not ignore his retired military status.
"Auntie Yang, I want to work at the Public Security Bureau. What do you think?”
Without waiting for Yang Chen's voice to fade, Yang Min had already said with a serious expression,"No, I have to change."
"What? Can't you do that?"
"Chen 'zi, I know that you were unwilling when you retired, but the war is already over. Now is the time of peace. If anything happens to you, how can I face your parents' souls in heaven? So Chen, let's pick a job that's easy and leisurely. What do you think?”
Just as they were talking, someone came to visit again.
"Please come in…"
After a while, the street office director, Aunt Wang, came to the courtyard with two street officers.
"Oh? Director Yang, you're here too?"
Yang Min's current position was the district director. Her main job was to coordinate the various subdistrict offices in the district.
To put it bluntly, Yang Min was Aunt Wang's superior.
"Chief Wang, what are you doing?"
"Well, Chen said that his house is a three-way house. He usually lives alone and there's a shortage of houses in our city, so Chen took the initiative to look for me. He said that he wanted to rent out the houses in the front and back yards at a fair price.”
This courtyard house was one of the legacies left behind by Yang Chen's deceased grandfather.
With Yang Chen's status and the protection of Luo Chang Qing and Yang Min, even if others were jealous, no one would dare to lay their hands on this courtyard house.
The reason why Yang Chen decided to rent out the courtyard house was because he felt that it was too deserted and he wanted to take this opportunity to collect some rent to improve his quality of life.
"Chen 'zi, don't be afraid. Tell Auntie Yang that you really think so?”
"Aunty Yang, I'm renting it out. The courtyard is still mine after all. Also, the middle court is enough for me to live in. What do you think?”
After Yang Chen personally confirmed it, Yang Min felt a little more at ease.
"Director Wang, the courtyard can be rented out to the public, but the tenant must be careful. My Chen Zi is a heroic family. If some dirty hands or wolves in sheep's clothing sneak in, I won't be able to get through.”
"Director Yang, don't worry. I promise that there won't be any trouble. There are quite a number of people outside. I've brought their information over. Director Yang, do you have a look?”
After receiving the information, Yang Min said,""Bring her in first. I'll take the time to look at this information.”
According to Yang Min's instructions, Aunt Wang and the others immediately went out to fetch the people.
Since there were no outsiders present, Yang Min also whispered,""Chen Zi, tell Aunt Yang the truth. Are you more or less forced by the situation to do this?”
"Auntie Yang, an arm can't twist a thigh. There are far more people than houses in the city now, and my courtyard is too conspicuous.”
"Hmm? That's true, but you have such awareness. I, Auntie Yang, see you in a different light.”
After talking about this topic, Yang Min immediately focused on browsing through the information.
About two minutes later, Aunt Wang and two street officers returned to the courtyard with a group of men and women.
"Platoon leader, is that you?"
"Wang Dahu, Hu Zi?"
"Platoon leader, it's me, it's me…"
As he spoke, a burly young man limped towards Yang Chen.
At the same time, Yang Chen also stood up and gave the person a bear hug.
Because he was a little excited, Yang Chen accidentally touched his wound.
"Ah?"
"Platoon leader, are you injured?"
Before Yang Chen could say anything, Yang Min had already separated the two of them anxiously.
"Hu Zi, right? Your platoon leader, my Chenzi's gunshot wound hasn't recovered yet, so I think you two should catch up later.”
"Alright, alright. I'm retired now anyway. I have plenty of time in the future.”
After confirming that Yang Chen was fine, Yang Min turned her attention to the others.
"Young and old men, this courtyard was passed down by my Chen's ancestors. Considering the lack of housing in our city, my Chen's son took it out to rent at a low price.”
After some opening remarks, Yang Min once again focused on the main topic,"Next, let's invite the retired soldiers and their families to step forward.”
Hearing this, more than 30 men, women, and children walked out of the crowd.
"Alright, the rest of you can go back."
As soon as Yang Min finished speaking, another old woman walked out of the crowd.
Seeing the old woman, Yang Chen couldn't help but ask in surprise,""D * mn, isn't this the deaf old lady from the Qin Man courtyard house?”
What was worth mentioning was that Yang Chen's house and Qin Man's courtyard house happened to be opposite each other.
However, the current Qin Man Siheyuan was still Chairman Lou Zhenhua's private residence.
During this period of time, Yang Chen had seen many beasts that filled the courtyard house, such as Silly Zhu and his father, He Daqing, Jia Zhangshi and her husband, Jia Laodian, and Xu Damao's father, Xu Fugui, and so on.
"Old man, is there anything else?”
"Leader, this is what happened. My husband and several sons died on the battlefield. When I was young, I also gave us straw sandals. Now, I'm the only old woman left.”
As the Deaf Old Lady spoke, Yang Min once again found her relevant information.
"But old man, why is there no record of what you said just now?”
"Eh? Every year we fight, every year we flee from famine, and this old woman is illiterate. Who cares about us?”
Hearing this, Yang Chen thought of the doubts about the Deaf Old Lady in his memory. He took the initiative to say,"Old man, don't worry. As long as we have the names of your husband and son, we can find the army they belong to. As long as we confirm this, the government will definitely not ignore you.”
At this moment, Yang Min also echoed,"Old man, if your husband and sons are martyrs and heroes who sacrificed for the country, then don't worry. The government will take care of you when you die.”
When Yang Chen and Yang Min said this, the Deaf Old Lady's eyes clearly became flustered.
Coincidentally, all of this did not escape Yang Chen's eyes.
"Um, how many years ago was this? Can you still find out?"
"Elder, you might not know this, but I'm now the director of our district. At the same time, my husband is also working in the military. Today, I promise you in public that I'll give you an explanation before the end of the year.”
Yang Min's promise did not make the deaf old lady feel at ease. Instead, it made her even more uncomfortable, so much so that her body could not help but tremble.
At this point, Yang Chen could be generally certain of one thing: "The deaf old lady is lying because she is not a family member of a martyr.”
Originally, the Deaf Old Lady had found out the true identities of Yang Chen and Yang Min from Aunt Wang.
Therefore, the Deaf Old Lady secretly planned,""She'll live in the courtyard as a family member of a martyr. In the future, we'll think of a way to let Yang Chen take care of her in her old age.”
In the end, the Deaf Old Lady did not expect Yang Chen and Yang Min to take her identity as a family member of a martyr so seriously.
In other words, the Deaf Old Lady had shot herself in the foot.
"Eh? He was gone, so what if he found out? Forget it, I don't want anything now. I just want a place to shelter from the wind and rain.”
"Director Wang, how about this? For the time being, your street office will be in charge of settling the old lady's life. Is there a problem?”
"Don't worry, Director Yang. We'll definitely take good care of the old lady.”
The old lady's words did make Yang Min respect her, but out of selfishness, she did not arrange for the deaf old lady to stay at Yang Chen's house.
At the same time, the Deaf Old Lady, who could not rest in peace, did not continue to say anything.
