In the north at the beginning of May, the weather is sunny and the temperature is moderate, making it a very comfortable time of the year.

In this season, people have long stripped off heavy clothes and put on thin shirts, young people are even skirts, half-sleeves, etc., but there are also older people who still wear sweaters. It's also a season of messy dressing, with most people dressing from spring to summer, and a few people already moving into summer early.

In such a season, outdoor activities are indispensable, and outings, outdoor exercises, and gossip are common. However, people often have to avoid these activities at noon, and it is generally not too late, after all, the temperature during these two periods is relatively unsuitable.

But in the original north district of Woyuan City, in the north area of the city, it was past nine o'clock in the evening, and there were not only a lot of people on the street, but also a lot more. There are retired elderly people who spend their days relaxing, young men who work during the day, women who have done housework, and children who have completed their homework. In short, there are all ages. These people sit on the side of the street and gossip, play chess, cards, or play by the lights.

This is not a night market, a food stall, not a stage, a square, it seems that the temperature is not very high, at least the thin lining is a little cold, the air is not very good, from time to time there will be a puff of dust or unpleasant smell. Despite all the discomforts, many people are reluctant to go back to the house, as if they want to challenge the environment.

This is a large area of old houses, most of which were built in the 80s of the last century, and it has been more than 30 years since now, some of them are even more than 10 years earlier, and some of the new ones are about 20 years old. The building materials and craftsmanship of these houses have long been outdated, especially the layout and facilities are not suitable for modern life, and all aspects are not very convenient.

The streets and alleys here are too narrow, parking private cars is a big problem, vehicles can't be parked in front of the house at all, and it is not safe to put them on the side, and it also affects traffic. Roofs, courtyards, alleys can be seen everywhere dilapidated wires, dense, dilapidated, I am afraid that the wires will catch fire that day, it is not easy to run, and it will take a lot of time for the fire truck to be in place. There are also dirty grounds, muddy sewage ditches, stinky garbage heaps, and messy private buildings, this is a standard shanty town.

In fact, it is not that people are willing to eat soil, nor are they willing to blow cold, nor are they willing to feel the smell, but that they are reluctant and nostalgic to let people stay outdoors for a long time. It will be demolished and rebuilt, and people will soon leave for a new and unfamiliar environment, and this familiar place will soon be in ruins. After many years, this place may be renewed, but it will also be new and unfamiliar, and the new will not have the taste of the past.

Here, the most eye-catching thing is the word "demolition" with a red circle on the outer wall of the house, and there is more than one on many walls, with different shades of color and different font shapes.

In the whole area, most of the houses are still standing and inhabited by people. But some of the houses have long been empty, the window panes are so broken that there is no piece, and some only the broken half of the courtyard wall remains. It is precisely because the upright house will also be this fate, and it is precisely because the home with many thoughts is about to cease to exist, that people are more nostalgic for this place and more willing to feel the life here.

Of course, not everyone is nostalgic for this place, at least most young people have long wanted to leave this ghost place, and have long been looking forward to changing the hut to a high-rise building, and some have moved away for several years. Rao is these people, most of them have recently lived here, or often go to these places, and pay attention to the demolition situation here.

On the side of the front row of houses, there is a group of people, in the crowd, two elderly men playing chess, surrounded by sitting and standing onlookers.

"Will. The old man picked up the "horse" and put it in a new position with a "snap".

"Will ...... I can't stop the horse's legs, and the generals can't come out, and the 'cannon' on the front side is still holding on here, and it's dead?" the white-haired old man muttered, picked up the other party's "horse" and put it back in place, "Take a step, slow down." ”

"How many times have you slowed down?" the old man laid the horse down to the edge of the trough again.

The white-haired old man wanted to take the "horse" again: "Slow down again, just once, I didn't see it just now, so the light shadow blocked it." ”

"You always have to say, put it down. Xie Ding, the old man pressed the chess piece.

Just when the two old men were arguing about the chess game, someone on the side also chattered:

"Just don't eat him, you can still go one step forward. ”

"It's okay not to eat? ”

"At that time, the veteran should be the first, and his horse will not dare to lie in the trough. ”

"If you want me to see, the first cannon should not be lost, since the cannon is gone, the son has been eaten one by one. ”

"The pawn crossed the top of the river and half a car, passed two at once, and they all arrived at ......"

"You're going to come, and it's all your foolishness. The white-haired old man couldn't go back to the "horse", and he became angry at the people who were talking.

Seeing the old man making fun of people, most of them shut up, or showed embarrassment, or showed contempt.

However, there are also people who don't know the fire: "If you want me to go like that, I will scrap this horse early, and there will be nothing." ”

Immediately, someone picked up: "Exchange a car for a horse, and a cannon, and lose faster." ”

"Just know the blind **. The white-haired old man drew the chess pieces with both hands and stood up, "Don't play, trouble." ”

"If you are angry at home, you are crazy about others. An elderly man in a checkered blouse muttered.

He had already taken a step forward, and when he heard this voice, the white-haired old man turned around again: "Who said it, who said it?"

The old man in the checkered clothes sighed: "Who said that it is also the case." ”

"Jiao Laosan, what do you mean?" the white-haired old man pointed at the voicer, "What am I angry about?

"Everyone knows that if you promise to give you more money in the soup, you have nowhere to get fire. The old man in the checkered robe responded.

"Fart? Who said you gave me more? That should have been given, and I spent ...... on that coal bunker."

"That's not a house either, why should people give you money?"

"Fei Ji*, I paid for it, why don't you give it?"

"It's okay to spend money to build it, then you don't have a book. ”

"If you don't have a book, it doesn't count? Jiao Laosan, don't talk about cool things, you want money for that toilet, why don't I give it to the coal bunker?"

"Who said that my toilet costs money? I spent 3,000 yuan on the toilet alone, and I had to divert water from there, which totaled more than 5,000 yuan, which I just got the year before last. There are also heating hoods, vegetable cellars, and wall fences, all of which cost money. ”

"If you are so reluctant, then you can dismantle it yourself. ”

"Nonsense, can it still be used if you dismantle it? Say you coal bunker, why do you say that my house has been renovated. ”

"My coal bunker is your business, and you don't have to worry about salty radishes. ”

"You're the egg. ”

"Coax", the onlookers laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Damn, it's cheap. ”

The old man in the checkered clothes and the white-haired old man were unanimous to the outside world.

The old man Xie Ding waved his hands together: "Don't make noise, just play chess, it's useless to say anything else." Besides, if you want to talk about the main thing first, how much money can you have for a coal bunker or toilet that is always noisy? ”

After Xie Ding's prompt, the white-haired old man and the old man in checkered clothes looked at each other and nodded: "Yes, the house is the big one." ”

Others followed this line and discussed:

"Demolition is a good thing, but the compensation standard for this house is a bit low. ”

"Yanyun City compensates 16,000 for one square meter, and we ...... it"

"That's the provincial capital, can it be compared? Why don't you compare it with the capital? The capital is 40,000 or 50,000 flat. ”

"Forty or fifty thousand can't be stopped, I heard that it's almost 100,000. ”

"100,000 or 200,000 people, what does it have to do with you, what does it have to do with us, let's talk about Woyuan City. ”

"It's not the same in the city of Woyuan. The white-haired old man raised his voice, "It seems that we are the lowest in the north of the country." ”

"Not really. Hua Geyi answered, "Just compensate for the money now, our family can't live at all, we can still live in a bungalow, we can't live upstairs and still be together, it's a daughter-in-law and a son-in-law." ”

The white-haired old man immediately choked back: "Jiao Laosan, as far as your fart is bigger, shouldn't you let people give you three sets of buildings, even your son and daughter? Besides, your daughter seems to have a house in the unit." ”

"Anyway, I can't live in it, and the public can't lose me, otherwise I won't move. The checkered coat stalked his neck.

"If you're dragging ourselves down like this, we don't want to live in a new building. The old man snorted, "We can't be insatiable when the public house is demolished." ”

"Even if it's not as insatiable as Jiao Laosan, it's about the same, the compensation given now is low, let's calculate, the bungalow is ...... square meter" The white-haired old man raised his fingers and muttered.

These people only cared about the heated discussion, but they didn't know that there were three men standing outside them, listening to them discuss the demolition and relocation throughout the whole process, these three people were Chu Tianqi, Li Ziteng, and Yue Jixian. In fact, the three of them have been in this area for a while, but they were just wandering around elsewhere, and they happened to be here when they were discussing demolition.

"It's useless for you to calculate, it depends on how much people give you. The checkered shirt tugged at the sleeves of the white-haired old man.

The white-haired old man shook his arm: "Why is it useless? By the way, I heard that the price in the original southern area is higher than ours. ”

"It's a lot higher. When the old man Xie Ding said this, he changed the topic again, "But I heard that the demolition people over there are also very powerful, often cutting off water and electricity, or throwing bricks in the middle of the night." ”

"yes, yes, I've heard that, too. Someone immediately answered, "And, also, I heard that the original north demolished that piece a few days ago, and there was a big-bellied girl who was scared and miscarried." ”

"Really, then, what can we do?" said a worried voice from the crowd.

"I don't care about that, anyway, if I don't have enough money, I won't sign it, let alone move out. Can they still tear down my old bones?" the white-haired old man still raised his voice.

"Keep your voice down, be careful to let people take you under the knife. The old man Xie Ding persuaded, "In the past few days, there have always been strange little offspring wandering around, looking like that person." ”

"Yes. ”

"yes, I've seen it too. ”

People agreed, subconsciously turned their heads to look, and noticed three people wearing hats not far behind them, and immediately went silent.

Noticing people's gazes, Chu Tianqi turned around and left.

Li Ziteng and Yue Jixian also hurriedly followed.
