Liu Weicheng had no choice but to push the car to the edge of the alley to ensure that it would not block the entrance and exit, and then he chose to get out of the car to check.
There was constant discussion around them, and the chatter was mixed together, but no one could make out what was going on.
Push through the crowd.
After finally squeezing into a seat near the front, I saw a small piece of open space where the landlord and a few people in suits and ties were facing the crowd.
He held the paper in his hand high and shouted that he would be waiting in line to sign.
Liu Weicheng didn't know the specific situation. With the rapid development of society, the old urban areas in this city were also being renovated. Demolition and reconstruction were only a matter of time. What he didn't expect was that it would be his turn so soon.
In addition, most of the residents living in this residential building are migrant workers. They have certain weaknesses in their assets. They finally found a low-priced residence, but now they have to face the problem of moving out.
Reality.
Of course, the impact on Liu Weicheng was not too great, but when the landlord called, the figures of Zhao Xuanying, his grandmother, and his grandson immediately appeared in his mind.
Compared with my own, their family's conditions are relatively difficult. If they were looking for another place to live, it would be difficult to find such an affordable place.
He looked to both sides, looking for familiar faces in the crowd.
Lin Nianwei, who was going with him, finally squeezed in from the crowd. Before she could catch Liu Weicheng in front of him, the next second he squeezed towards the right side as if he saw an acquaintance.
The hand he stretched out was empty, and in front of him was the landlord and his party.
The leader who was preparing for the signing happened to notice this scene and looked at Lin Nianwei in front of him.
After a few seconds, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Lin Nianwei also had the same expression.
Seeing the other person pointing at him, without waiting for the other person to say anything, he immediately raised his hand to cover his face, turned around and squeezed back through the crowd he came from.
He disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye, and what he just saw seemed like an illusion.
Liu Weicheng on the other side saw the figure of Grandma Zhao Xuanying, and only after he got to Zhang Cuilan's side did he ask.
"Grandma, what happened?"
When she heard someone talking to her, Zhang Cuilan also recovered from her daze.
She actually didn't know much about it, so she could only repeat what Liu Weicheng said before he arrived.
The demolition happened to happen from the streets in the north, and the residential area behind the alley was not greatly affected.
It looks like a shopping mall will be built.
Economic development in recent years has led to the construction of many areas, and it seems that this area has the same fate.
The location itself is not too far from the city center, and the location is excellent. If a shopping mall can be built, the surrounding economy will also be significantly improved.
It may be a good thing in the eyes of others, but for ordinary people like Zhang Cuilan, it is not something worth being happy about.
Demolition means no place to live.
Although the rent paid initially will be fully refunded, the whereabouts of these residents will become a problem later.
Two options.
One, accept the landlord's additional compensation of 200 yuan per household and then find a new place to live.
Second, follow the arrangements to live in a suburban area in the south of the city. In this case, the rent will not change much and the accommodation environment will be improved to a certain extent.
The only disadvantage is that it is close to the suburbs, which not only affects travel, but also most of the residents in this building run individual businesses nearby.
The nearby vegetable market is their main work place.
If you go south, your livelihood will be affected.
From this point of view, the gains outweigh the losses.
Of course, compared with the various problems that often broke out in later generations, the actions of the demolition party and the landlord can be called responsible.
The compensation of 200 yuan per family was originally paid by the landlord at nothing.
After all, the users who have lived here have been here for a long time. Two people like Zhang Cuilan and Zhao Xuanying have lived here for six years.
It was out of good intentions that we provided additional compensation. Of course, the result after the demolition would mean that the landlord and his family would have a worry-free life in the future.
If Liu Weicheng had demolished a residential building like this... he would probably wake up from his dream with a smile.
The more I think about it, the more envious I become!
Liu Weicheng hurriedly took a few deep breaths to get rid of the envious emotions in his mind. After his emotions calmed down a little, he looked at the frowning Zhang Cuilan.
Time has left very obvious traces on her body.
The wrinkles on the face, the curved back, and the gray temples.
I have a granddaughter who is still in school, and my finances are already tight. For the sake of my granddaughter’s academic problems, I have to consider livelihood issues at an age when I should be enjoying myself.
When renting a market stall, I have to go to work at a housekeeping company when I have time, and I have to carry sacks to scavenge at night...
Not to mention she is an old man, even if she were a strong young man like Liu Weicheng, she might not be able to persist in such a high-intensity work for too long.
And the other party has been doing it for who knows how many years.
Liu Weicheng admired Zhang Cuilan very much.
It was clear that Zhao Xuanying had no blood relationship with her, but they fought so hard for each other.
Looking at the old woman beside him, Liu Weicheng pretended to be relaxed and said to her.
"Grandma, I will help solve the problem of your and Yingying's accommodation."
The crowd dispersed.
Although the incident happened suddenly, for the surrounding residents, livelihood is a more important issue.
After everything was over, they all left.
The place that was blocked just now became empty in an instant.
Liu Weicheng looked around. Zhang Cuilan beside him did not leave with the large army. The stalls in the vegetable market also asked someone to help take care of them when they came.
I won't be in a hurry to leave for a while.
Standing silently, Zhang Cuilan seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, she looked at Liu Weicheng beside her.
Just like when he told Zhao Xuanying's origins in the hospital, a pair of not-so-translucent eyes stared at him.
I don't know how long it took before Liu Weicheng was called upstairs.
As if I had something to say to him.
Liu Weicheng was surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. He looked at Zhang Cuilan's back walking upstairs and was about to take a step forward to follow her.
After taking two steps, he stopped where he was.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt like something was missing around him.
Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at the empty scene behind him, and finally fixed his gaze on the direction of the van.
Looking in the direction of the passenger, the half-open window...
Memories emerge.
It seems like he didn’t come back alone!
"Grandma, you go upstairs first, I'll be there later."
He turned around and shouted to Zhang Cuilan. After getting a response from the other party, Liu Weicheng quickly ran towards where the car was parked.
The incident happened suddenly, and after squeezing in from the surrounding crowd, Liu Weicheng completely forgot about Lin Nianwei's existence.
At that time, my mind was full of the question of where to live next. Who would have thought that there would be someone following me when I came out of school.
I ran to the car and walked around the back of the car, but I didn't find Lin Nianwei.
He leaned close to the passenger window and looked in through the half-open window.
In the back seat of the car, I saw Lin Nianwei, who seemed to be playing a hide-and-seek game, shrinking down as much as possible to hide herself.
"..."
"..."
The two people's eyes collided with each other, and they suddenly fell into an atmosphere of silence.

Cyndi Wang is very popular recently, and listening to her songs reminds me of memories from my youth.
It was still the era of the Walkman, and my sister loved their songs back then. I can’t forget it now...
I picked out the tape from my Walkman and played around with it, and was chased by my sister for three streets...
