Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 1429

Chapter 1429: Chapter 1430: The House Doesn’t Belong to Us

The list for the old replacement with the new is set, and then comes the handling of retirement procedures. Some people have already started to look for jobs, and the military compound is bustling with activity, often seeing large bags and packages of furniture placed in the courtyard, ready for moving.

Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo learned about the military policy regarding spouses accompanying them, requiring Third-Class Sergeant Major or higher ranked officers to take family with them, with different conditions in different regions. Of course, all this is based on personal preference; some people just don’t want to follow, especially if there’s no one to care for the home, and the husband’s station is in a remote and harsh area.

Furthermore, the houses for family members traveling with the military are only arranged by the army, and only above regiment level do they get allocated houses; the level determines the size of the house, and this depends on the arrangements by the army.

Thus, when veterans retire, the allocated houses should naturally be vacated for new accompanying family members to live, otherwise if everyone stays, where would there be so many dormitory buildings for family members accompanying the military?

This is also the reason why some people, especially those not yet at retirement age, are unwilling to retire. They endure, still having a chance to move up the ranks so that when they’re older, they can get a position and eventually get a house.

Even in this retirement occasion, didn’t a few old-company-level personnel directly get promoted to the regiment leader level upon retirement, then waited for a house allocation?

"What, so you’re saying, our house isn’t ours now?" Cheng Su looked at Hualing as if dumbfounded.

"Of course not, Qi Taiguo has only been deputy regiment leader for a year, hasn’t had his turn yet." Hualing said, "You mean you didn’t know? This is a military apartment, considered dormitory, merely allocated for military family members to live in. With retirement, they naturally have to be given back!"

"But Old Zhou’s family, when they retired back then, they still kept the house, only company-level." Cheng Su mentioned.

It’s really a bolt from the blue; after living for several years, she didn’t know the house wasn’t theirs but belonged to the military, they were merely borrowing a dormitory!

Hualing shrugged, "That I don’t know, perhaps there’s some major meritorious service, sometimes there’s extra rewards."
