"Hey Wei Hong, you're early enough today. Are you back from shopping for groceries?"

"Then don't go as early as possible. The vegetable market will be crowded soon. This farmer's market is messy and airtight. When there are many people, it makes me panic. My heart can't bear the smell. There are so many people.

You'll faint after two sniffs."

At the gate of Nashasha community in District S of the Third Ring Road of the capital, just after eight o'clock in the morning, two old aunts, who looked to be in their fifties and almost sixty, were walking towards each other, one to the left and the other to the right. They met at the intersection entering and exiting the community.

He was also carrying a vegetable basket, both of which were filled to the brim. At a glance, they were all green, healthy and light, with limited oil and water.

Quickly glancing at each other, the two people immediately looked away. After confirming that the food quality at each other's homes today was as good as ever, whether you are a poor neighbor or the poor neighbor yesterday, you did not eat any better just because today is Sunday.

Finally, the two of them smiled at each other in a tacit understanding, and then just like an old tree taking root, they chatted on the spot...

"The group of migrant workers the day before yesterday scared me to death. I thought there was going to be a group fight, so I called the police!"

"Did you call the police? Why did the police come so quickly?"

"Fortunately, my son works at the police station..."

"Working at the police station is dangerous. There were so many people yesterday. I was worried that something might happen to the policeman. I wonder if my son came here on his own?"

"What you are saying is that in broad daylight and with everything clear, who dares to do something to my son? At the emperor's feet, beating the police and letting them go is rebellion. What age is it now? Who has the guts to rebel against my son? You haven't even seen it.

"When my son arrived at the scene the day before yesterday, he was all dressed up in that outfit. He was so frightened that everyone shrank like a quail."

"Wei Hong, you're pretty good at boasting. I heard someone say later that the group of migrant workers just passed by. They were originally going to move to the community next door, but when Rao came into our community, the leader couldn't find the way.

Yes. I even saw the leading man. He looks like the domineering one in the TV series. His temperament is upright and he doesn’t look like a bad guy at all."

"What! Your news is out of date a long time ago. In fact, it's..." Wei Hong lowered her voice, leaned forward, and whispered in the other party's ear, "There are several houses here. I heard they were out of date."

What's the problem? The group of migrant workers the day before yesterday came to survey the foundation and so on. I could tell at a glance that that man was a small leader. Can ordinary people have that kind of temperament?"

"What house?"

"Just those buildings over there..." Wei Hong pointed to a few old buildings not far away and whispered, "I passed by those buildings last night, and there were two young people secretly talking there.

, As they talked, they started arguing again. One person said that the house was not of much concern, so he should hide it for now and wait until after the Olympics. Otherwise, if he demolished it and rebuilt it now, people in this area might jump out and demand demolition. Do you think?

Ah, if two or three buildings have foundation problems and have to be demolished and rebuilt, wouldn't the neighboring buildings also be affected?

Taking advantage of the fact that the Olympics are about to be held the year after next, let's all join together to make a fuss. Maybe the relevant units will not be able to withstand it, and for the sake of the harmony of the Olympics, they will simply demolish the whole area. Can't we all do it?

Moved to a new house? How nice are those new houses now? They even have elevators up and down the stairs. Who has an elderly person at home who doesn’t want to live in a house with an elevator? Climbing stairs is so tiring, isn’t it? Especially those who live on the fourth or fifth floor.

, like my house, I have to go up and down from the fourth floor every day, and I would like to demolish it..."

"Is it true?" The other party suddenly became excited and excited, "Why haven't I heard about this?"

"Nonsense, can we talk about this openly?" Wei Hongyan analyzed with certainty, "Yesterday I happened to hear that the two young men, probably from the Geological Bureau, Survey Bureau or something like that, almost had an argument.

Woke up.

One said that if there is a problem with the house, it must be reported. The other said that if there is a problem, it may not collapse in a short time. Normally, it will be more than enough to last for another three to five years. But if it is reported to the government now, that's it.

At this point in time, the government may be willing to spend more money in order to calm the trouble. Once this money is spent, the problem that could be solved by demolishing three buildings may become the need to demolish 30 buildings. Tell me.

, who will pay for this money?

If he doesn't pay, the news comes out again. Those three or five buildings with problems can be easily demolished, but there are dozens of other buildings in the community left. Can those residents agree? Being unreasonable can cause trouble!

This needs to be demolished. The foundation is connected underground, and other homes will be affected too. Shouldn't it be demolished together? Don't you want to live in an elevator room?"

"It's bad, it's too bad. Isn't this causing trouble to the country..." Old Aunt No. 2 shook her head repeatedly.

Aunt Wei Hong said: "Don't think so, what if it really collapses? What if it really collapses during the Olympics? Can the people of our capital afford to be embarrassed like this? Can more than a billion people in China afford to be embarrassed?

Really? All in all, I think it would be better to dismantle it."

"Oh, which buildings are they..."

"That's it, that's it!"

Wei Hong pointed blindly to the side and in front, and the two of them finally moved and walked slowly inside.

At the same time, on the other side of the community, Chen Geng was walking into the community with two walk-ins. As he walked, he gave instructions: "Just chat, and walk around the community while chatting. The content is what I said in the text message."

As I told you, the key is that when you pass some old men and women, you have to stop for a moment and let them hear what you are saying. Our camera crew may be hiding here. What we want is this kind of specialness

Natural shooting effect.”

"Okay, buddy, Lao Wang and I know how to do open performances."

"Director, don't worry, although we are not from a professional background, we are still experienced in acting. For just five hundred yuan, which is so easy to make, Xiao Xiao and I will definitely give you a good performance. I believe in our level, okay?

"

Looking at the two "professional actors" he hired at a high price in front of him, Chen Geng had no choice at all. He could only nod and said: "Let's act well. The opportunity is not easy, so I'll leave first. I can't be photographed."

Get into the camera.”

"Okay." Xiao Xiao, a big-faced man, lifted his chin and pulled Lao Wang away coolly.

Chen Geng stood there and watched the old gangsters, who claimed to be a so-and-so brother group, slowly walk away.

The two actors moved further and further apart and soon began their performance.

"Lao Wang, you think this community is quite old, isn't it?"

"Yes, from the looks of it, they should be one of the earlier batch of tube buildings in the capital. They must be from the 1970s and 1980s."

"It must have been... thirty or forty years?"

"Roughly the same."

"Thirty or forty years, that's really a bit old. No wonder there are problems..."

"Shh!" The two of them passed by a place where old men gathered to play chess. Lao Wang looked horrified and quickly grabbed the big-faced Xiao Xiao. After spreading the rumor, he hurried away nervously.

There were seven or eight old men playing chess left behind, looking at each other.

"Did you hear what those two people just said?"

"What's wrong with the house...?"

"What's our house here?"

"Is there something wrong with our house here?"

"Hey! Don't tell me, I heard just last night that a survey team came to our place to have a look a few days ago. You said, if there is nothing wrong, then why did the survey team come?"

"That's not true. If something is really wrong, why don't you tell us first?"

"How can I tell you so casually? We are a small community with dozens of buildings and more than a thousand households. If the news spreads, so many people will be furious and go to the government to ask for an explanation.

Isn’t this going to be a mess?”

"That is, after the New Year, the capital will be sprinting to host the Olympics. At this critical moment, one more thing is definitely better than one less thing. Even if there is something, it will have to wait until after the Olympics?"

"Hey, I don't like hearing what you say! What do you mean by waiting for the Olympics? What if something really happens to our house here? The Olympics won't start for more than a year! No, I have to go back and take a look at my house.

House, I don’t want to be crushed to death when I fall asleep one night.” Seeing that he was about to lose, the old man on the chair put down a few chess pieces in his hand, got up and ran away.

"Hey, you're done!" The old man, who was about to win, shouted loudly at his escaping back.

But the other party was very agile, his legs were old, and he ran away in the blink of an eye.

"This old Li Tou..."

The old man who was about to win smiled bitterly and lost interest in continuing. He stood up half-heartedly and muttered suspiciously: "This old boy has made me panic. What's going to happen to our house?"

What's the matter?"

"That is to say, which house is at fault?"

"Isn't there something wrong with the entire community?"

A group of people were muttering, their hearts beating slightly.

After a while, they all dispersed into a group and went back to their respective houses, looking for any clues that there was something wrong with the house.

The instigator, the "Laobangcai Brothers", went around the community twice with great dedication and spread the news to at least three Sunset Red interest groups before leaving the community.

Under the rising sun, the two even exchanged their thoughts on today's performance.

"Old Wang, do you think our performance just now was a bit deliberate?"

"I think it's okay."

"Did you see the camera?"

"No."

"I didn't see it either."

"It's okay if you haven't seen it. It was secretly filmed and must not be exposed."

"This is called professionalism! Then... let's work together again if we have a chance next time?"

"Okay, I have a great understanding of working with you."

The two people shook hands tightly at the gate of the community, and then waved goodbye.

When the two people walked away, Chen Geng emerged from a corner.
