Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Chapter 49: To the New Home

The journey was smooth, and Cheng Su followed Qi Taiguo off the bus and arrived at the military residential compound he had described. She didn’t forget to quietly take in the surroundings and the traffic, as from today, she would be living in this city.

Just as Qi Taiguo had described, the military residential compound was a typical official compound named Goodwill Place No. 6 Courtyard. It was a square complex, with three-story buildings all around. There was a large courtyard in the middle with many bamboo poles and ropes attached, intended for the residents to hang laundry and enjoy the cool air, as the houses were built without balconies and only had small windowsills, which were inconvenient for drying clothes.

It was five o’clock in the evening when the two of them entered the courtyard and saw aunties and daughters-in-law looking over. They greeted Qi Taiguo warmly and naturally turned their attention to Cheng Su.

"This is my wife; she came over today," Qi Taiguo said with a smile as he introduced her.

Cheng Su matched his enthusiasm, smiling and waving to everyone, "Hello, everyone, my name is Cheng Su. Please take good care of me in the future!"

Her warmth was met with an equally warm response, as it was their first meeting. Everyone greeted her, affectionately calling her Sister-in-law Qi and even complimenting her with sweet words.

After the pleasantries, Qi Taiguo led her up the stairs.

Cheng Su’s home was at the Southwest Ladder. Since Qi Taiguo held a higher position, they were allotted a separate two-bedroom, one-living-room unit of about fifty square meters. Most importantly, instead of sharing just one large room or a bedroom and a living room with others, and having communal kitchens, toilets, and shower rooms, their home had a private bathroom. However, the kitchen was still shared with everyone else.

Still, Cheng Su was very satisfied, especially when she saw the bathroom inside the house; she was so pleased she practically jumped for joy, glad to no longer endure the misery of pit latrines.

Moreover, she was well aware of the living conditions of the era; not having to share a bathroom with others was a blessing in itself.
