Reborn as a widow in the 70s

This is a family compound close to the camp.

If you look down from a high altitude, apart from the military camp and the family compound, there are no villages around.

The nearest village is the forest farm a few kilometers north of the military camp.

There is a large forest there, so most of the people living in the village are forest farm employees and their families.

Next to the military camp there is a large river that runs through many areas.

There are mountains, forests and rivers here, and the natural environment is really good. The only drawback is that the surroundings are too desolate and uninhabited.

But there's nothing we can do about it. Who made this a military camp? It can't be placed in a downtown area!

The gate to the family compound is two large iron gates, which are open during the day and locked after nine o'clock in the evening.

There are sentries standing guard here 24 hours a day, and people who are not members of the family home need to register information to enter and leave here.

Entering the compound, there are rows of blue brick bungalows.

They are all separated by short walls. The walls are not high, probably less than two meters.

The courtyard doors are all made of wood.

The courtyard is surrounded by walls made of stone and cement.

At the root of the wall is each family's vegetable plot, which is simply separated by bamboo fences. Although it is not much, it is only a few acres, but it is enough for the family to use vegetables for a whole summer.

In the middle of the compound, there is a large auditorium, where major festivals or performances are usually held.

There is a large open space outside the auditorium, where outdoor movies are occasionally shown, but more often than not it is occupied by children from family homes.

There are basketball courts, table tennis tables, and some simple fitness equipment, such as horizontal and parallel bars.

"It feels so big here, like our village!"

Song Xiuxiu felt that she hadn't arrived home after walking for a long time, so she couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Aiguo knew that she was tired, so he took Yaya over and said softly: "There are less than 1000 people in our village, but there are more than 3000 people here!"

"So many!" Song Xiuxiu asked in surprise.

Lu Aiguo nodded affirmatively.

Song Xiuxiu looked at the surrounding environment. Except for the occasional woman holding a child, she rarely saw other people.

So she asked curiously: "But where have all these people gone? Why didn't I see a few of them?"

Lu Aiguo: "It's working time now, and the weather is hot, so naturally you won't see many people!"

"Working? This is a military camp, can family members also go to work?" Song Xiuxiu asked.

Lu Aiguo: "Of course you can go to work, otherwise it would be a mess if so many family members stayed at home instead of going to work!"

Then he pointed to the south of the compound and said: "There is a logistics quilt factory over there, which is specially used to supply clothes and bedding to the troops, and also to solve the employment problem of family members."

Song Xiuxiu: "Your leaders are so considerate!"

Lu Aiguo: "Since there is a system of accompanying the army, other supporting facilities will naturally be fully equipped."

Then Lu Aiguo began to introduce Xiuxiu one by one.

There is a health center here, which can diagnose and treat any disease as long as it is not a serious disease.

There is also a nursery where all children from a few months old to preschool can be sent there, and all are free, just for the convenience of soldiers and their families.

There is also a primary school here with a total of ten classes, two classes per grade. Although it is not free, it is not expensive.

The tuition fee is [-] cents, and the total cost of books, tuition and miscellaneous fees is less than one yuan.Two dollars is enough for the entire semester.

But if the children go to middle school, they have to go to the city, which is very inconvenient.

In addition, there is a service center here, and basically everything you need can be purchased at the service center.

There are also public baths, barber shops, canteens and more!

This is simply a small society where all your life, old age, illness, death, food, clothing, housing and transportation problems can be solved without leaving the compound!

Lu Aiguofen's house was located relatively close to the compound. The reason why Captain Xu's lover chose that location was mainly because it was quieter.

When she arrived at her door, Song Xiuxiu was surprised to find that there were two roses planted on both sides of her door. They must have been very old. The spreading vines covered the walls on both sides of the door, and they were densely in bloom. The pale pink roses form a waterfall of flowers, which is simply breathtaking!

As Song Xiuxiu came closer, the rich fragrance of flowers hit her nostrils, making her feel refreshed!

Seeing that his wife was stunned, Lu Aiguo quietly approached her and asked softly in her ear: "Do you like it?"

Song Xiuxiu's lips were filled with a smile, she turned to look at him and said happily: "I like it, I really like it!"

Lu Aiguo said mysteriously: "Then see if you like it in the yard!"

After saying that, he pushed open the courtyard door. This time not only Song Xiuxiu was surprised, but even Yaya exclaimed!

Although the yard is not very big, there are all kinds of flowers planted there, and it’s like entering a garden described in a fairy tale book!

There was a pomegranate tree in the courtyard, and another tree that she didn't know what it was. Song Xiuxiu didn't recognize it.

At this time, Lu Aiguo had already put Yaya down, letting her and Zhao Xuewen get familiar with the environment at home. Then he walked to Song Xiuxiu and began to explain to her carefully.

"This one is a lilac. It's past its flowering period now. It's said to bloom in spring. The flowers are purple. When they bloom, the whole yard is filled with a rich fragrance."

Later, Lu Aiguo pointed to other flowers and introduced: "This is peony, that is chrysanthemum, over there is winter jasmine, these two pots are clivia, and the two pots over there are jasmine..."

Song Xiuxiu asked in surprise: "Did you plant all this!"

Lu Aiguo touched his head and said with a smile: "How can I have such great ability? This is all done by Captain Xu's lover."

"Their family used to live here. His wife is a music teacher. She likes to play with flowers and plants when she has nothing to do. She has high requirements for the quality of life."

Song Xiuxiu: "Did their family move away?"

Lu Aiguo: "Captain Xu was transferred, and his wife was also leaving with him. Although he was very reluctant to let her raise these flowers, Captain Xu was transferred to the southeastern region. The journey was too far. These flowers and plants were really... If we can’t move, we will have no choice but to take advantage of us!”

After saying that, the man started laughing!

Song Xiuxiu was also very happy because her life in her last life was too hard and rough.In her next life, she also wanted to live a more refined life and cultivate some interests and hobbies of her own. Unexpectedly, God was so kind that he gave her a big garden.

What makes her most happy is that there are jasmine and clivia. These two were her favorite flowers when she was wandering in her previous life. She has always dreamed of raising them, and now her dream has come true!

Just when Song Xiuxiu was overjoyed, Lu Aiguo hugged her shoulders and said, "I'm so happy, there's a surprise over there!"

As he said that, he pointed to the southeast corner of the yard...
