"I asked you, little girl, how come you don't know how to be humble at all, and you can't listen to criticism. If you were in our time..."
An aunt became angry, and Manshu interrupted her: "This is no longer your era. Every era has its own characteristics. Our generation will soon be adults. Just watch!"
In every era, there will be people who shoulder the heavy responsibilities and move forward. This does not mean that we can make life better just by relying on the construction of the older generation.
Manshu has witnessed the rapid changes in the motherland in the past few years, so he naturally has more say.
People say that their generation is squeamish, but it is undeniable that they will grow up too.
Those old men still wanted to teach them, but one of them, who was sitting under a tree playing chess, dropped a chess piece: "Check!"
Immediately afterwards, Manshu heard him say: "Okay, Liu Laosan, who doesn't know that your eldest grandson stopped studying before graduating from junior high school, and works every ten days and a half, and is afraid of hardship and tiredness?"
"And Grandma Wang, your granddaughter got pregnant out of wedlock when she was only 18 years old. She found a forty-year-old man in order not to go out to work. How dare you accuse this little girl?"
"Xiao Li..."
This Xiao Li was the aunt who first wanted to join the crew with Man Shu. After being named by the old man, her expression changed drastically.
He hurriedly interrupted the old man: "Uncle Hu, please don't talk nonsense. My son is studying in college outside. He is hardworking and filial. He is different from them!"
The old man sneered: "Isn't it right? Going to college will suck your parents dry, just like a locust, calling you back from the sky to ask for money!"
The eyes of the people around him widened. This Xiao Li's son was one of the few college students in their area. How come he didn't know how to be considerate of his parents?
Manshu really didn't know that this old man kept the situation of every household very clear.
Others chirped: "No wonder Xiao Li wants to be an extra in some kind of extravaganza. Is it because her son spends too much money?"
"Actually, I heard something. Her son got pregnant at school..."
Aunt Li seemed to have triggered a certain nerve. She screamed and rushed to the person who just spoke: "Wang Yanping, what nonsense are you talking about? Labor and management will tear your mouth apart, you little whore..."
Come on, the two aunts were fighting. The neighbors seemed to be used to it. They casually tried to persuade each other without moving their feet. Some people even called me excitedly: "Then Xiao Wang on the fourth floor, and the one on the second floor?"
Xiao Li started fighting again, come and watch!"
Manshu: "!!!" was speechless.
Life in the emotional city village is so lively.
Manshu was not in a hurry and went in. She walked under the old banyan tree and looked at the uncle playing chess: "Uncle, have you heard that this place is going to be demolished? Are you willing to demolish it?"
It has been demolished and people live in high-rise buildings. However, it is impossible to keep such a smokey atmosphere.
The old neighbors who have lived here for decades obviously know each other. They usually have a lot of conflicts and help each other a lot.
In fact, there are still people who really don’t want money and just want to live in their old houses, right?
Manshu was still sighing, and the old man looked at her: "What kind of question are you asking, girl? Who doesn't want to pay more for the demolition and change to a better house? The water pipe upstairs in my house is leaking, and we have to quarrel every three days."
One of them, I wanted to move it away a long time ago."
Another old man also echoed: "Isn't that right? My daughter-in-law and my old lady have been at odds with each other for decades. After the demolition, they can finally no longer live together."
…
Manshu: This seems different from what she thought.
