Sokov later stayed in Russia for more than ten years, and he can be regarded as a Russia expert. He clearly understood that Russians can freely choose the location to build their own houses in the suburbs. For example, in the forests outside Moscow, see
If you win the spot, you don’t need to seek approval from the relevant departments. You can directly cut down the trees in this area and dig the foundation here. After the foundation is dug, order a wooden structure house from the building materials company and transport it to the construction site.
After the house is installed on the lot, workers sent by the building materials company will assemble it. After the house is repaired, apply to the relevant departments and ask them to help you apply for the land use certificate and real estate certificate, and set up special power supply lines.
But what Sokov knew about the situation belonged to the regulations of later generations. He didn't know what the regulations were for building a house in this era. So he put down the tableware in his hand and asked Asiya curiously: "Asiya, your house
When building a house, do I need to seek approval from the relevant departments?”
"Go to the relevant departments for approval?!" When Asiya heard Sokov's question, a confused expression appeared on her face: "When building a house in the suburbs, aren't you free to choose the ideal location? I haven't heard of it.
Seek approval from relevant departments.”
As soon as Asiya finished speaking, Yakov said: "Only after the house is built, you need to go to the relevant departments to apply for the land use certificate and real estate certificate, and then let them help set up the power supply lines. In addition,
, when and where you repair the house has nothing to do with them."
After listening to what Asiya and Yakov said, Sokov felt much more at ease. It turns out that this rule has been around for a long time and is not a new rule added by later generations. It is estimated that from this era, these wooden houses built in the suburbs will
It was habitually called a villa. He then asked: "Asia, how long did it take for your family to repair the house?"
Asiya thought for a while and replied: "About three months. When leveling the land, it took a week just to cut down the trees in that area. Then when building the house, it took nearly two months.
time……"
Sokov thought to himself that in this era there are probably no wooden structures that can be assembled. They can only use rested logs to build them, which will definitely take a lot of time. I will have time to go to Asiya's villa another day.
Go take a look and see if that house is still there. If it was really blown up by German planes, it would be better to find a new place to build a new house.
Seeing that Sokov suddenly stopped talking and was staring at the plate in front of him as if thinking about something, Asiya asked curiously: "Misha, what are you thinking about?"
"I was wondering if I should take time to visit your villa in the next two days to see if the house is still there." Sokov looked up at Asiya and said: "If the house is bombed by a German plane,
Then I'm afraid we will have to consider finding a new place and build a new villa for your family." The reason he said this was because he remembered that in a post from later generations, Stalin said that in order to prevent the German army from using private houses on the outskirts of Moscow for heating, he
They ordered people to burn down most of the houses in the suburbs. I don't know if Asiya's villa was also burned down.
"If we can find the car, we can go take a look tomorrow." Asiya said: "I haven't been to the villa for several years, and I really miss it."
"How about we bring vegetable seeds over here." Yakov interrupted: "If your villa is still intact, then we will plant some vegetables in the yard and wait until September to harvest."
"This is a good idea." Asiya's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard what Yakov said: "The yard of my villa is three hundred square meters, and I can grow a lot of vegetables."
"Do you have any tools for growing vegetables at home?" Sokov asked: "If not, we still need to bring some from the sanatorium."
"Yes, there are." Asiya nodded and said, "Every household with a villa in the suburbs has tools for growing vegetables. Every year in mid-May, everyone will take a vacation and go to their villas in the suburbs to plant vegetables.
vegetables, and then wait until September to harvest.”
"How do you dispose of the harvested vegetables?" Yakov asked.
When Sokov heard what Yakov said, he couldn't help but feel a little more curious. You know, there were no refrigerators in this era, and some vegetables wouldn't last long even if they were thrown in the cellar. So he eagerly wanted to know,
How are these harvested vegetables disposed of?
"Potatoes, onions, carrots, these non-perishable vegetables are usually stored in cellars." Seeing Yakov's curiosity, Asiya patiently explained to him: "As for cucumbers, tomatoes, these vegetables are made into
Canned vegetables, wait until winter before eating them slowly."
"Are there any canned fruits?" Yakov continued to ask.
"Yes, Yasha." Asiya nodded and continued: "For example, we can can apples, pears, peaches and oranges, so that in the winter, we can have fruits to eat. Yes.
There are seven or eight apple trees outside my yard. Every late August, the ripe apples fall from the trees, and I will take a basket to pick up these apples and take them home to make cans."
Speaking of apple trees, Sokov secretly thought that the most numerous fruit trees on the streets of Moscow are apple trees. Every year until the end of August, the apple trees are full of green apples, but few passers-by pick them up.
These apples fall until they rot in the ground.
After dinner, Asya held Sokov's hand and walked with Yakov towards the building where he lived.
On the way, Yakov suddenly asked: "Asia, Misha now dreams of going to the Far East to fight the Kwantung Army. If the Supreme Command really appoints him as the commander of a certain group army, will you go with him?
?"
Asiya turned to look at Sokov and said with a smile: "I listen to Misha. If he asks me to go, I will go; if he doesn't let me go, I won't go."
After hearing this, Yakov couldn't help but dumbfounded: "Asia, so whether you go to the Far East in the future depends entirely on Misha's attitude?"
"Yes," Asiya nodded and said affirmatively: "In my family, my father has the final say on everything. Now in our family, Misha is the head of the family. Whatever he says, I will do it."
Obey."
When Sokov heard what Asiya said, he couldn't help but feel a little proud, so he stretched out his hand and patted twice the back of the other person's hand holding his arm.
The first person who came to Yakov's room was Yakov. He opened the door and said to the two of them: "Misha, Asya, you should go to bed early. Good night!" However, when he closed the door, while Asya was not paying attention, he
He made a cheering gesture towards Yakov and then closed the door.
Sokov and Asiya returned to the room. After closing the door, Asiya restrained the smile on her face. She asked seriously: "Misha, if you can really go to the Far East, will you and I
Want to go together?"
"Asia, the decision on this matter is yours." Sokov was thinking in his mind. Although the Far East campaign is one-sided, who can guarantee that there won't be any surprises. If nothing else, if Asya
If he went to the Far East, he would probably regret it if he had any shortcomings. Therefore, he decided to let Asia make the decision whether to follow him to the Far East: "If you are willing to go, I will naturally welcome you; if you are not willing, I will not
reluctantly."
But Asiya did not answer Sokov's question, but said calmly: "Misha, it seems a bit too early for us to discuss this matter now. You know, can you go to the Far East?
What’s unknown?”
"Asia, originally I was not sure whether I could go to the Far East." Sokov said: "But since I came here, I am sure that my superiors will definitely let me go to the Far East."
"Why?" Asiya asked curiously: "How did you judge it?"
"Before we went to dinner, both Bezikov and Gurchenko mentioned that the reason why we were placed in this sanatorium was because they didn't want anyone to discover us. Think about it, the superiors even kept our whereabouts secret.
It proves that there will definitely be important work arrangements for me and Yasha in the future." Sokov explained: "Apart from going to the Far East to fight the Kwantung Army, I can't think of any other task that is more important than this.
"
After Asiya listened, she nodded slowly and said, "What you said makes sense. I guess the exact news will come in two days." She looked up at the clock on the wall, "It's getting late.
Come on, go wash up quickly so we can rest early."
Early the next morning, Sokov was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. He quickly got out of bed, put on his pajamas, walked out of the bedroom, and closed the bedroom door. After doing all this, he came to the big room.
In front of the door, he reached out and opened the door, and saw Yakov standing at the door.
"Good morning, Yasha!" Sokov greeted him proactively: "You got up so early, why don't you sleep more?"
Yakov did not speak, but pushed Sokov into the room with his hand, and closed the door. After pulling Sokov to the sofa and sitting down, he said: "Misha, it's not good, we are under house arrest."
Already."
"Yasha, what are you talking about?" Sokov asked in confusion: "We are under house arrest, who said this?"
"No one said it. I analyzed it myself."
"Yasha, are you neurotic, that's why you have such hallucinations?" Sokov said jokingly after hearing Yakov's words: "Why are we under house arrest?"
"Misha, I'm not joking with you, it's all true."
Sokov stared at Yakov's eyes for a while. Seeing that Yakov never looked away, he felt certain that what he said must be true. He suppressed the smile on his face and asked tentatively: "Yakov
Sha, how did you know that we were under house arrest?"
"After I got up, I wanted to walk outside the nursing home and breathe some fresh air." Yakov said with a straight face: "Unexpectedly, when I walked to the gate, I was stopped by the sentry on duty. Although I identified myself,
But the sentry told me in a nonchalant manner that he had received an order not to allow anyone to leave the sanatorium, not even me."
"Well, we are not allowed to leave the sanatorium?" Sokov realized the seriousness of the problem. In addition to the three of himself, there are several attendants and a platoon of soldiers in the sanatorium. This arrangement is indeed somewhat similar.
It was to watch his posture. But in order to find out the truth of the matter, he decided to try again: "I will change my clothes now, and we will try again later to see if the sentry at the door will stop me. If it is really not allowed,
If we go out, we will be under house arrest."
Sokov got up and walked into the bedroom, took off his pajamas and began to change into his military uniform. Asya, who had just woken up, asked sleepily: "Misha, who is here? Is it Yasha?"
"Yes, Asya, it's Yasha who's here." Sokov did not hide the fact that Yakov had arrived, but he did not mention that he might be under house arrest. After all, there was no final confirmation yet, so there was no need to do anything about it.
Everyone was flustered: "He and I are going out to do some things and will be back soon. You can continue to sleep."
Sokov came out of the bedroom, closed the door and said to Yakov: "Yasha, let's go."
The two of them came out of the small building where they lived and walked towards the door of the nursing home.
Sure enough, when they approached the gate, a sentry came up to them and asked politely: "Comrade generals, where are you going?"
"Comrade soldier," Sokov said first, worried that Yakov might do something bad because of his excitement: "Let's go outside for a run first. Can you let us out?"
When the sentry heard Sokov's question, he showed a troubled expression on his face: "I'm sorry, Comrade General, I don't have the right to let you out."
Seeing the sentry's reaction, Sokov's heart sank. It seemed that Yakov was right. The three of them were indeed under house arrest and could not leave the confines of the sanatorium. However, facing the sentry blocking the way
, he still asked politely: "Comrade soldier, can you tell me why?"
The sentry replied nervously: "Comrade General, the order I received is to ensure your safety. You know, although the war is over, who can guarantee that there are no enemies lurking outside? What if they take advantage of you?
What should I do if I hide in a dark place and shoot you coldly when I go out?"
Faced with such a far-fetched explanation, Sokov just didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But he knew that the other party was just a soldier, and the order he received was that he was not allowed to go out, and he could not decide anything else. After being silent for a moment, he asked:
"Comrade soldier, can we move around in the yard?"
"Of course, of course." The sentry nodded vigorously and replied in a positive tone: "As long as you don't leave the confines of the sanatorium, you can do whatever you want, and no one will interfere with you."
After Sokov confirmed the fact that he and others could not leave the nursing home, he turned to Yakov and said, "Yasha, let's go back."
Seeing that Yakov seemed to be ready to teach the sentry a lesson, he quickly stepped forward and took Yakov's hand, saying in a low voice: "The sentry is also acting under orders, don't embarrass him."
Hearing what Sokov said, Yakov lowered his raised fist and could only follow Sokov back dejectedly.
After waiting some distance from the gate, Yakov stopped, looked at Sokov and asked: "Misha, tell me, what is going on, why are we under house arrest inexplicably? Are the two of us under house arrest?
