This day came obviously with great joy, but I didn’t know that looking at the dilapidated house for a long time would easily make me sad.
Kang Shude almost fell to the ground and burst into tears, which spilled down his clothes.
This really made Ning Weimin feel a little uncomfortable.
Although there was still a yard that had just been vacated on the street that he had yet to look at, he no longer dared to let the old man stay to continue looking at the house.
I'm afraid that if he sees something or thinks of something again, the old man won't be able to bear the stimulation and ends up losing his life here, which would be a big sin for him.
So when Kang Shude felt better, he urged his master to leave.
"Old man, we have taken back these houses anyway. Do you want to take a look at it anytime? I think you are tired today. It is almost noon. Why don't you stay here now and stay in the south one?
We'll see you next time. Let's go first. We're celebrating the festival today, so how about I treat you to a restaurant? We'll go to the Senlong restaurant on Dongsi North Street to taste Zhenjiang Restaurant.
After you finish eating and drinking, I will take you to take a bath, and we will go home comfortably in the afternoon..."
Kang Shude can naturally appreciate his apprentice's good intentions.
He was not stubborn, he just sat by the shadow pool for a while and looked at it reluctantly for a while.
He nodded and accepted Ning Weimin's suggestion, got up and left with him.
Unfortunately for the clinker, they wanted to leave but they still couldn't.
Because the two of them had just walked out of Yingchi's yard, they saw Director Wei from the Jingshan Subdistrict Office and the director of the neighborhood committee walking towards the yard over there from the accounting room.
They also made trumpets with their hands and shouted "Manager Ning" at the top of their lungs.
Ning Weimin was curious about their purpose, so he quickly agreed and went to greet them.
Unexpectedly, Director Wei actually came to give him the good news and the key to the last house in Ma's Garden.
I have a pity for the old editor who used to live here but is now deceased. His only living relative is the son who got married and started a career in Jinling.
I have been in contact with Jingshan Street about the relocation through long-distance calls.
Taking advantage of the fact that Tuesday is the May Day public holiday, this person applied for a few more days of saved and reverse leave, plus a week of rest days. Finally, he pieced together enough time to get over there.
I arrived in Beijing by train yesterday morning, and went directly to Jingshan Street Office with my luggage on my back.
After arriving at the place, the man happily signed and handed over the key.
Then he counted the money, took the money and left impatiently.
As for today being a holiday, why did Director Wei show up?
That's because Tianjingshan Park is destined to be overcrowded on May Day.
As the person in charge of the nearby streets, Director Wei must of course bear this special responsibility and be personally responsible for the security work.
Just when he was doing the inspection work, he passed by Ma's Garden and saw Ning Weimin's car.
So I simply showed my favor and took the initiative to send the key to the last house to Ning Weimin.
It should be said that this is a good thing for Ning Weimin, and he is indeed very happy that the relocation of all residents has been completed.
While he was happy, he also couldn't believe the way the editor's son handled his father's belongings.
"What? Director Wei? You said...he...he doesn't want all his things? Let us deal with it as we like?"
Director Wei nodded in agreement with a logical attitude.
"Yes, that's right, that's what he said. The boy said that he took away everything that was valuable and easy to carry, such as bankbooks, cash, radios, watches, etc., after his father passed away. Then
All that's left in the house are some broken tables, rotten chairs, pots and pans, and some books. He has limited time on his return and can't stay in Jingduo. He might as well just have a good time and let us sell it if we want.
Throw it away if you want."
"But...but I see that the walls in that room are still full of photos, certificates, and probably some things that his father uses daily, and he doesn't want them anymore?"
Ning Weimin reminded Director Wei that some things are not measured by economic value.
But Director Wei is still determined.
"No. Manager Ning, let me put it this way. In the early years, the editor became an 'old right' in the first wave. During the 'movement', of course his son ate his melon and was sent to
He went to the south. I'm afraid he always hates his father in his heart. Why don't he stay here for two days when he comes back? I'd rather spend money to stay in a hotel. I think this kid really has no feelings for his father.
.The remaining things are naturally junk to him."
Thinking from this perspective, Ning Weimin somewhat understood, but still couldn't help but shake his head.
"Ah? Then why is he going all the way! Is it just to get money? I told you earlier! I told you we wouldn't be able to finish sending him the money and documents! Is it necessary to go through all this trouble? It's wasting so many days in vain
!”
Director Wei told the truth.
"Hey, it's really just to get money. That kid didn't believe in such a good thing from the beginning, and he finally believed it. He was also afraid that there would be problems with remitting such a large sum of money. He had to come and get it in person. Not to mention this kid
He came here with a purchasing task given by his wife. After he took the money, he asked me about the purchase of home appliances in the department store. After leaving the house, he probably went to Wangfujing again. From what I saw, he probably planned to get a color TV back home...
"
After Director Wei finished explaining, he saw that Ning Weimin was completely speechless, thinking that he was unhappy.
I blinked a few times and tried to sell it smartly.
"Do you think it's troublesome to deal with these things? It doesn't matter. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will bring a few people to do it, okay? It's just one room. I promise it will be empty in half a day..."
However, his good intentions were destined to be in vain.
Without even allowing Ning Weimin to speak, Kang Shude directly refused.
"Ah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No need to trouble the streets! Thank you for your kindness, let us do it ourselves. This house used to be lived in by an editor, right? That's great, I love reading books the most.
See if there are any books I can use..."
"you are?"
Only then did Director Wei notice Kang Shude who suddenly interrupted.
He looked at Ning Weimin and couldn't help but look curious.
Ning Weimin took the opportunity to introduce the two of them.
"This is Director Wei from our street. He has helped us a lot."
"This is my uncle. He is the real owner of these houses. His name is on the property deeds."
So Kang Shu Debian said, "I have admired him for a long time, and I hope you will take care of me in the future."
Director Wei also showed a look of surprise and said, "Old sir, there is no need to be polite. If you need anything, just ask."
Just like that, after being polite, Director Wei left with the people and continued to do his work.
It can also be seen from this that Ning Weimin has really become a man now, and there is no shortage of people to take the initiative to fawn over him.
Anyone like Director Wei would be willing to serve him.
Kang Shude was naturally happy for his apprentice, but his words were ridiculing.
"Hey, you are very happy now. A dignified state cadre can be so polite to me, an old man who is a mess, all because of your face. Old gentleman? Oh, next to you I am an old gentleman. Without you
, I will become a veteran..."
Ning Weimin was angry and funny, feeling that the old man looked like a child sometimes.
"I said, Master, why are you so idle? Are you happy if I don't do well? Are you happy only if people don't care about us? Okay, look at this hour, it's time to eat.
Come on. Let’s leave quickly, I’ll take you to dinner..."
Little did he know that Kang Shude's head was shaking like a rattle, and his mind had changed.
"Let's go? What are we going to do? Go! Take the key they just gave you, open the locked room and let me take a look!"
Now Ning Weimin was a little confused.
"Ah?? Didn't we agree to come back another day? Aren't you hungry? You still have to look at other people's houses?"
Kang Shude smiled and showed interest.
"Another day? Then where can I wait? You haven't forgotten what your master used to do for a living, right? I play the snare drum."
"What is this that Director Wei has sent you today? This is not a key. In the past, this was called 'trading goods'. It was an objective situation that forced people to confiscate their own homes. It was almost like giving away everything."
"In this case, it is an intellectual's property, and there is a good chance that you can find something good. I have been feeling uncomfortable for a long time just now, why don't you just have fun and find something interesting to do? This is called
It is better to arrive early than to arrive early, God's will..."
Then his expression became serious and he completely took on the master's attitude.
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up. I'm not talking about you, I'm just listening to you bragging about how many good things that silly boy Sun Wufu helped you collect. Today, today I should test your eyesight."
That being the case, what else could Ning Weimin say?
