However, as of the end of the physical examination, Chu Lan's remorse is still only her own business, as Jiang Yizhen, who has already fulfilled her guardian mission, even when she was worried about her niece, she did not think of the harm she might suffer.

In her opinion, Chu Lan is a good child like Jia Ling, she was just dizzy some time ago, as for whether she has other problems, especially in terms of male and female style, there is no need to worry.

The children of the Jiang family, because of the ears of their elders, always value chastity the most. It's just that she didn't expect that many things in this world are not transferred by the will of the people involved. This is just like the Yahou Street in Hao Zhiguo's eyes.

Early in the morning, suffering from a severe nervous breakdown, he was woken up by a sound similar to the sound of carrying debris, and the unloading site was in his yard.

When is it? Hao Zhiguo looked at the watch on his wrist in the bed, and the beating hands told him that it was 6:40 at this time.

What's going on, still don't let people sleep? Hao Zhiguo was a little irritable. He didn't have to guess to know that the incident was the work of the newly moved tenant Li Jinqiu, and not long ago he had an unpleasant quarrel with this person for changing the structure of the house without authorization.

Hao Zhiguo lived in a small and exquisite courtyard, where two families originally lived. Ever since the house on the other side of the door went to the countryside, it has been empty. This is okay, looking at the courtyard that has become much quieter all of a sudden, although Hao Zhiguo regrets that he has lost his good neighbor who has been with him for more than 20 years, he feels that it may not be a good thing for him who has not slept well.

But what he didn't expect was that within a month of the old neighbor's front foot moving out, the new resident moved in on the back foot. This is nothing, after all, the half of the house is not their own, and there is no reason for people to move in, who admits that the other party has not entered the house, so they have started an axe and saw on the house, hired a group of craftsmen, and demolished it with a dingdong dong.

"What are you doing here?" Looking at the other party's situation, how did Hao Zhiguo Ren warn himself that it was still an extraordinary period and not to cause trouble easily, but as a professional who had been immersed in the cultural relics industry for more than ten years, he still couldn't help but ask the other party questions. In his opinion, not to mention that this courtyard was left over from the early Qing Dynasty and could not be easily damaged, even if it was an ordinary house built after liberation, it could not be done as much as you wanted.

"What are you doing?" Listening to Hao Zhiguo's question, Li Jinqiu, a new resident, felt strange, "Build an attic." ”

Building an attic? A resident casually demolished and built a rented house, Hao Zhiguo felt that it was really incredible. So he asked, "Do you know it's an ancient building?"

"What's wrong with the old building? I didn't tear it down. Looking at Hao Zhiguo's serious appearance, Li Jinqiu was a little surprised, "I have a lot of things in my house, how can I put it if I don't build an attic?" Besides, this house is high and open, and it is a waste not to separate a floor. ”

"It's convenient for you, but what about the country's house?" Hao Zhiguo felt that this person was really ridiculous, and he even found so many crooked reasons for his misdeeds, "It's all like you, is there still a complete ancient building in the back street of Yahou? We can't just damage the state's property for our own convenience!"

"How did I damage the country's property?" Hearing this, Li Jinqiu was very unhappy, and his face immediately collapsed.

"Just make holes in the original pillars and erect beams and floor slabs, isn't it damaged?" Hao Zhiguo didn't care if his face was good-looking, and pointed to the construction site and the materials in the house.

"I'll make a hole and install it, what's wrong with you?" Facing Hao Zhiguo's questioning, Li Jinqiu couldn't argue, and couldn't help but become angry, "If you have the ability to sue, I'll continue to sue wherever you go." ”

Seeing the arrogant appearance of the other party, Hao Zhiguo really didn't say anything for a while. He thought that this was none of his business, and that he would have to live with this neighbor for a long time in the future, but as soon as he thought about it, he was a student of cultural relics, and he would let him damage ancient buildings like this, wouldn't that be too unprofessional and too cowardly? Thinking of this, he decided to go to the people of the housing management committee, hoping that they would take a look.

"What are you talking about?" He was greeted by Qiao Daxing, who is now the deputy director of the town housing management committee, and before he finished listening, he put up his head: "Not only you, but in the entire Yahou Street, there have been four or five cases of original residents coming to report this kind of thing. After a pause, he said: "Li Jinqiu, who lives there, is still Sven, there is a man named Long Xianqi, I heard that the feng shui of Yahou Street is good, and without permission, he moved into the house vacated after Li Xiaobai left, and even if he bullied Grandma Ruan, he wanted to rob the utility room that she had used for many years. ”

"What are you going to do?" Hao Zhiguo was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

"What should I do? So many people moved in at once, some of them were unruly, and my head was big. After the original residents complained, we followed and went to check and asked the owner to stop the construction, but they just didn't listen. Qiao Daxing sighed, "You know, I'm talking about management here, but in fact, I'm only responsible for leasing and repairing, and I can't cure these people at all." ”

"Then let them do whatever they want?" Hearing Qiao Daxing say this, Hao Zhiguo couldn't believe his ears, "Can't you report to the County Cultural Relics Bureau and ask them to come forward to stop it?"

"I said, brother, didn't you just come back from Guangzhou, how can there be any cultural relics bureau now? The temple has already been demolished, and the monks and nuns inside have all rushed to the Wuqi cadre school. Hearing this, Qiao Daxing was like listening to a book from heaven.

"Why?" Hao Zhiguo couldn't understand. "That's—you can also report it to the police station. Hao Zhiguo thought for a while and said.

"Police station?" Qiao Daxing shook his head, "Now that I'm busy all day long, I can't win, how can I have the energy to care about this." Besides, this is not a criminal offense, and the second is not a civil dispute. ”

"What should I do then?" Hao Zhiguo felt that the matter was really serious this time.

"I don't know. Qiao Daxing said helplessly.

There was silence in the room.

After a while, Qiao Daxingfang said to Hao Zhiguo: "Let me tell you, even if there is a unit in charge of this matter, it will not be able to manage it." You think, the inhabitants here have changed a lot. I've seen it, and in comparison, it's still the old residents' rules!" After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk about it, although their composition is a little higher, they are highly educated, understand the rules, and will not do those unreasonable things, at least they know that the house they live in is expensive and cannot be moved." It's all like these newly moved in, can this Yahou Street still be the original Yahou Street, and can it continue the cultural context and retain the blessings?"

Hearing Qiao Daxing say this, Hao Zhiguo felt that he was in the right direction, but he felt that what he said was too straightforward, and it was heard by people with ulterior motives, and he made a small report to the top, which was not too big or too small, and it was a trouble, so he couldn't help but glance out the door.

"Don't worry, I'm just a few co-workers, and no one usually comes. Qiao Daxing knew what he was worried about and comforted him. Then he said: "Actually, although your yard is also an ancient house, after all, it is not too big, what I am really worried about is that the courtyard where Principal Cen and the others live is not only in the best condition, but also large enough. ”

Hearing this, Hao Zhiguo remembered that the most important thing to protect in Yahou Street was the courtyard where the Cen family lived, in addition to the former residence of Jiang Lixiong, the founder of the Xinhai Revolution. Jiang Lixiong's former residence is said to be converted into a memorial hall, and it is estimated that no one will move in at once, but what about the courtyard where the Cen family lives?

……

Thinking about this, and listening to the noise outside the house getting louder and louder, Hao Zhiguo couldn't lie down anymore. He hurriedly dressed and walked out of the house with his shoes on. But this time I didn't care, I raised my eyes and was startled: the small open space in front of the house was already full of bricks, sand, cement and wood, and outside the courtyard gate, there were workers who were constantly bringing in these building materials.

"Sorry to disturb your good dreams. Seeing Hao Zhiguo's surprised appearance, Li Jinqiu, who was directing his co-workers, turned around and greeted him. Because he already knew that Hao Zhiguo was a cultural relics expert who came back from Guangzhou to cultivate, and he had a brother who had practiced martial arts since he was a child and was born with a strong martial arts, he was much more polite this time. It's just that, although I took the initiative to say hello, the look was clearly that I was like this, you can do it.

"You are—" Hao Zhiguo looked at him, and then at the building materials piled up all over the courtyard, his heart full of doubts.

"Oh, there's not enough house, build a kitchen in this yard. ”

"Isn't there a kitchen in the back of the house you live in?"

"I'm going to convert it into a bedroom for the kids. ”

"How can this work?" Hearing this, Hao Zhiguo's head became bigger. He couldn't believe that the other party didn't even let go of the small yard in order to live comfortably. Look at the patio, corridors, bonsai, flowers, etc. in the courtyard, all of which are unrecognizable.

"What's not going to work?" Hearing this, Li Jinqiu was very unhappy, "I only occupy my own side of the territory, and it doesn't hinder you." You really can't see it, so you close your eyes, and when I don't build it, okay. After a pause, he said, "Didn't you say that I can't build it privately? But I didn't see anyone do anything to me after I built it?" I don't think you should be nosy. As long as you don't care about me, we might be good neighbors. ”

Hearing this, Hao Zhiguo was really speechless.

"Rest. Looking at Hao Zhiguo's helpless appearance, Li Jinqiu was a little proud. He pretended to be polite, greeted him, turned around and shouted to the craftsmen, asking them to hurry up the construction.

Looking at the other party's virtue, Hao Zhiguo was very angry. After two rounds, he already knew that the other party was not a reasonable master, but he was holding back in his heart, and it was really uncomfortable, so he had to go out of the yard to breathe. Looking at the alleyway outside the courtyard, he was depressed. It was also at this time that he thought of the compound where Qiao Daxing said that the Cen family lived.

yes, just go there. Thinking of this, he put on the clothes he was wearing and walked towards the Cen family, who happened to live opposite to him.

Although there is a distance between the hospitalized son of the Cen family and the Hao family, it will only take a while. Before entering the courtyard, Hao Zhiguo smelled a familiar smell.

"It smells so good!" he couldn't help but shrug his nose. When I entered the courtyard, I found that it was Zheng Wenshu drying the pickled plum vegetables. In Yahou Street, Zheng Wenshu's plum dried dishes can be called a must, not only delicious, but also good-looking, because Zheng Wenshu is warm and kind, many neighbors have accepted this kind of gift of light and affectionate, including the Yang Qionghua who turned his face faster than turning a book.

"Governing the country is coming?"

Realizing that someone had entered the courtyard, Jung Wen-sook turned around and greeted him when she found that the person who had come was Hye-min's childhood classmate.

"Yes, it's me. Looking at the plum vegetables that shone golden in the rising sun, George sighed in a low voice, although he found it pleasing to the eye.

"What's wrong?" asked Zheng Wenshu with concern, holding the dried plum vegetables that had not yet been hung on the bamboo poles.

"Annoyed. George Guo looked up to the sky and let out a long breath.

"To govern the family?" Zheng Wenshu knew that Hao Zhiguo would not be bothered by his wife, because she was a very virtuous woman, even if she was alone in Guangzhou with her children, since he returned to Yahou Street, he had to come two or three times a year, but he was the ruler of the family, because he had no father early, and he was always taken care of by his eldest brother.

"It's not. Hao Zhiguo replied in a low voice.

"Then why?" Zheng Wenshu was a little strange.

"Why, for the sake of random demolition and construction. Hao Zhiguo said depressedly.

Hearing this, Zheng Wenshu was stunned for a moment, and then understood. In the past six months, many new residents have moved into Yahou Street. I thought that the most they had to do was to clean the houses they were allotted and make some small decorations, but many of them actually built a lot of buildings in order to live in a spacious and comfortable place, so that the whole residence was changed, and in some places it was even unrecognizable.

Thinking of this, Zheng Wenshu suddenly understood why Hao Zhiguo was so upset. She had heard Cen Huanian say a long time ago that the reason why this Yahou Street is valued by the people of the county is that in addition to the fact that people often say that the context is, there is another reason, that is, most of the houses here are old, and some are still buildings in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the one who understands their value best is Hao Zhiguo. His family is an old resident here, and he himself is a scholar of literature.

"Don't bother," Zheng Wenshu comforted Hao Zhiguo, "I know you feel sorry for those houses that have been demolished and built indiscriminately, but it's useless to be annoying, you can't stop them!"

"I know, but I just can't stand it. Hao Zhiguo knew that what Zheng Wenshu said was reasonable, but he just couldn't calm down.

This situation is like watching a layman's deputy curator of the museum think that the bronzes in the museum are rusty, and hire a lot of people to polish them with sandpaper to make them shiny. It has been six or seven years since I went home to recuperate due to a nervous breakdown, and although I am not as nervous as I was when I was working at the workplace, I am not much better at witnessing the changes in the environment.

He thinks that in Yahou Street, except for Cen Huanian, Vice Chairman Shang, who returned to his hometown, and Aunt Ma's son who had an accident a few years ago, I am afraid that there is no one who understands the value of this residential area like him. This is not only because he has lived in this place since he was a child, but also because he studied literature and museums, and he has been immersed in the profession for a long time, so he will have feelings for things such as ruins and cultural relics, especially when some people want to get their pulse on Yahou Street and don't take it seriously, they feel unbearable.

Think about it, too, in the face of a simple and clean neighborhood with pure folk customs, a place that has lasted for many generations, it was stirred up in a moment, and the newly relocated people did not understand its value, and built it indiscriminately, how could it not make people feel heartache and annoyance?

Seeing Hao Zhiguo sitting on the stone bench without saying a word, Zheng Wenshu was afraid that he was suffering from a severe neurasthenia, and it was difficult to talk about it further, so he could only work alone beside him.

Hao Zhiguo sat for a while, and saw that Zheng Wenshu was struggling to hang dried plum vegetables on the penny, so he stood up and helped. Because his mother is good with her, he and Situ Huimin, his brother Hao Zhijia and Cen Xinrui are classmates, so he has always felt that he and the Cen family are the best to talk to each other. He then asked, "Aunt Zheng, how are the new residents of your yard moving in?"

"Yes," replied Zheng Wenshu in a low voice, "there is no random demolition and construction as you said." After a pause, he said: "Both of them are state cadres, and their consciousness is naturally much higher." ”

"That's good. Hao Zhiguo nodded. He had already heard that the newly moved residents of the Cen family's hospitalized children were very promising, not only was the hostess the only daughter of the old Red Army, but her husband was the new director of the Revolutionary Committee of the County People's Bank. At this moment, he suddenly remembered something mentioned in his wife's letter not long ago:

"Aunt Zheng, do you know? ”

"Really?" Zheng Wenshu was very surprised when she heard such news, and then thought of her youngest son, Xinrui.

"Peking University and Tsinghua University have piloted first, and now Guangdong has also started to act," Hao Zhiguo knew what she wanted, "but this time it was not selected through examinations, but 'voluntary registration.'" Recommended by the masses, approved by the leaders, and reviewed by the school', as for the targets, they are workers, peasants and soldiers with a junior high school education or above and excellent performance. ”

"Is it okay for educated youth?" Zheng Wenshu is most concerned about this.

"Yes, but you have to go to the countryside for more than two years. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Wenshu was happy at first, but then she became worried: junior high school education or above, going to the countryside for more than two years, and performing well, these conditions are all available, but can the leader approve him?

In the past four years, many of his classmates who went down to Balinghu Commune with him have been recruited and left, leaving only him, Que Rendong, and Ma Ping still stranded there. Why can't they leave? Clear-sighted people can see at a glance that they can't recruit workers, and they can still go to university?

Thinking of this, Zheng Wenshu was very gloomy. What Zheng Wenshu thinks, Hao Zhiguo doesn't know? But he doesn't know how to comfort the other party.

As a neighbor who is close to the Cen family, he knows that Cen Xinrui is very smart, and he also knows that Cen Huanian and Zheng Wenshu have great hopes for this young son, but he also knows that with the situation of the Cen family, Cen Xinrui wants to go to college, and it is basically useless.

Thinking of this, Hao Zhiguo was very upset for Cen Xinrui, and he was also very sad for Zheng Wenshu, but what was the use of him being an ordinary person's grievances and sadness?

After being silent for a while, George Guo said to Zheng Wenshu: "I can't recommend going to university, and recruiting workers is also a way." It's just that this is also going through the back door. After a pause, he said: "If Huimin has a way, he should still help Xinrui think of a way, see that Xinrui and his family have been going down for almost four years, and they will eventually become old and spend in the countryside, and nothing will be accomplished." ”

"Huimin, a very ordinary little cadre, what can he do?" Zheng Wenshu felt that although what he said was reasonable, it could not be implemented.

Also, hearing Zheng Wenshu say this, Hao Zhiguo found that what he said was complete nonsense. After standing for a moment, he walked out of the courtyard quietly, just as he had just walked quietly.

Looking at his thin back as he staggered away, Zheng Wenshu held the dried plum vegetables that had not yet been hung on the bamboo pole and sighed softly.

Coincidentally, just as Zheng Wenshu was thinking, Feng Shuhua pushed open the door and walked out. When Hao Zhiguo entered the hospital, she had already woken up and clearly heard the conversation between him and Zheng Wenshu. Seeing Zheng Wenshu stunned there, he asked Zheng Wenshu who got up.

When she learned about his situation from Zheng Wenshu, she couldn't help but sigh again: This Yahou Street is really a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, and if you bump into one of them, you are all a cultural person. It seems that in the future, I will urge my son to pay attention to his life and study hard, so as to be a resident here in vain.
