Luck is also part of strength. Liang Jian admitted this.

However, if the achievements in life are attributed to luck, it is inevitable that there will be some discomfort in the heart. Liang Jian thought that I don't know how many people in the unit now will attribute his current ability to sit in the position of secretary general to his luck. He's lucky, he's got a good father, he's lucky, he's got a good father, he's lucky......

"Xiao Liang, people can't do without luck in this life. The old man said suddenly. He looked at Liang Jian, and there was a burning light in his eyes, as if he could see through what Liang Jian was thinking.

"Let's use an analogy, let's talk about the moat out there. In this river, there are more or less one or two people jumping every year. As soon as someone fell into the water, he was rescued by a passerby. Some people fell into the water at noon during the day, but no one passed by to see it, and their lives were gone. You say that there is no such thing as luck, how can someone live and someone will be gone. So, I think that luck, like talent, is with you, and it is destined. You can't get rid of it, you can't change it, all you can do is accept it calmly. In the past, when I was young, some people always said that I was lucky, and some people even said that the reason why I was able to become the leader of this district at that time was because of luck. At that time, I was quite angry when I heard these words, and I felt that when others questioned me, they were not sure of my ability. However, now that I'm older, when I think about it, I feel that I couldn't be angry at that time. Why do others question me, it's because they envy me, even jealous of me. So, you don't need to care too much about what others say, whether it's luck or ability, it's all your own business. Others, but they just can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, and their eyes are hot. If it's really going to be put on them, it will be another statement soon. The old man's words, at first glance, seemed to be discussing luck, but after thinking about it carefully, he could be so citrus that he was comforting Liang Jian, not to take what others think of him too seriously.

Liang Jian felt a sense of embarrassment that he was seen through, smiled a lot of meaningfully, and said, "The old man is right. ”

The old man looked at him and smiled, and said, "Actually, the first time I saw you, I thought you were a bit similar to me when I was young." It's a pity, you already have a family, otherwise, you are a good match for my good granddaughter. ”

The old man mentioned this stubble again, if Min'er was here, he would probably have to blush again when he heard this. Liang Jian was also a little embarrassed, and said, "Don't make fun of me, Miss Min'er has a good personality and looks beautiful, are you still worried that you won't be able to pick one that you are satisfied with?"

The old man grinned and said proudly: "That's right, with our family's Min'er's personality and appearance, plus I will check for her, it will be no problem to choose a good husband." ”

"Exactly. Liang Jian echoed with a smile.

Then, the old man changed his words and suddenly said to Liang Jian: "Xiao Liang, since you are the secretary general of the municipal party committee, I want to ask you for something." ”

Liang Jian was stunned: "You say." ”

The old man raised his chin towards the door and said, "This is where I live." ”

"What's going on here?" asked Liang Jian as he spoke.

The old man said: "Some time ago, news came out that the government planned to renovate the old city here. Our courtyard here is estimated to be demolished. ”

When Liang Jian heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He knew about the renovation of the old city. With the development of the economy, the process of urbanization will only get faster and faster, when there are more and more high-rise buildings around, in the whole area of modern design, leaving a few old towns, dilapidated old buildings, narrow streets, always seem so out of place. And the impact of the old town is not only this, but also the worrying health and security problems. Therefore, in the footsteps of social development, the transformation of these old towns is only a matter of time.

The old man used to be a leading cadre, and it was impossible for him not to understand this truth. So what did he want Liang Jian to do when he mentioned this matter to Liang Jian now?

This is obviously impossible. Liang Jian's strength alone can't stop it at all, because this social environment is like this. Even if Liang Jian stops it today, he may still be demolished tomorrow. Moreover, Liang Jian will leave Huajing not long after.

Liang Jian thought about it while remaining silent, and continued to listen to the old man say: "Actually, to be honest, I am really a little reluctant to demolish this place. I've lived here for nearly half my life, and the environment here is good, and more importantly, this neighborhood has been developed by me with my own eyes, just like my own children. It's really reluctant to leave here now. However, I also understand that as a communist, as a former leading cadre, I cannot do anything that drags the organization back. It's a good place, but it's also a lot of problems. I've seen it all, too. During this time, people from the streets came here every day to do mobilization work, and most of the people here have agreed. However, there are still some people who refuse to let go for the time being. The thing I want to ask you for today is related to these people. ”

Liang Jian listened to what he meant, not to let him stop the reconstruction here, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it doesn't stop the renovation work here, the other problems shouldn't be a big deal. Liang Jian thought about it, and said, "Do you have any conditions for this part of the people?"

The old man nodded lightly and said, "Most of these people are lonely old people, either their children have gone abroad and have not returned, or their children have passed away unexpectedly at an early age." You said, these people are helpless in Huajing, but it's okay here, there is a neighbor to talk to and take care of each other on weekdays. However, if this place is demolished, where can they go? Although everyone has a relative to some extent, most of them are also people in their seventies and eighties, not their own blood relatives, and which relative is willing to have an old man to take care of for no reason? Even if the relatives are willing, the old man himself will not be willing, and at this age, no one can say how long he will live, just like me, maybe I will sleep tonight and not wake up tomorrow morning. When people are old, they don't want to cause trouble to others. ”

Liang Jian nodded, the old man was quite right. When people are old, they are not their blood relatives, and they are generally not willing to take care of them, and no one is willing to take on this responsibility, not to mention that life is hard now. Moreover, the old man is not willing to be disliked.

"Then what are their conditions?" Liang Jian asked the old man.

The old man replied: "Actually, this is not their condition, it is a solution that I came up with after talking to them." I think that the government can arrange these lonely elderly people to a certain nursing home, and their pension expenses will be paid from their compensation. ”

Liang Jian thought to himself, the old man's method is really good, but there must have been relevant responsible persons who have communicated with them before, didn't the old man mention this plan? Even if he didn't mention it, for these lonely and widowed old people, is there no similar plan proposed by the relevant person in charge? Such a plan has not appeared in the national demolition and resettlement plan.

Liang Jian was puzzled and asked the old man: "Your idea is very good." How many lonely old people are there?"

"About 50 people. The old man said.

When Liang Jian heard this number, he couldn't help but be stunned. With so many people, no matter which nursing home they are assigned to at once, it is a heavy burden for the nursing home.

Moreover, some small and medium-sized nursing homes simply cannot accept so many people at once.

Liang Jian suddenly understood why the old man came to Liang Jian for this plan. However, this old man didn't know his identity before, and when he came out about this matter, he should have suddenly remembered it after knowing his identity just now. He's really out of sight!

Liang Jian secretly smiled bitterly, and then said: "Old man, there are so many people, I am afraid it will be difficult to arrange them in one nursing home." Otherwise, you see, can we spread this group into four or five nursing homes?"

The old man smiled helplessly at Liang Jian and said, "I won't tell you what you said just now, in fact, those cadres who came to do the mobilization work had already mentioned it to them. They all said no. They said that they had nothing left in their lives, only a few old neighbors, and now one foot was in the coffin, and the government wanted them to move from here. It's okay to move out, but they're still going to stay with their old neighbors. When people are old, their thoughts are stubborn, and it is useless for anyone to persuade them. A few days ago, an old man in the east, because the people in the street office were pressing, was about to jump into the river in a fit of anger, but fortunately he was stopped, otherwise there would be another unjust soul in this moat!"

When Liang Jian heard this, he frowned slightly. When people get old, they are stubborn, and there is some truth in this. As the saying goes, an old man is like a child. Children are often difficult to reason, they like to follow their own joys, sorrows and sorrows, although the elderly have experienced a lifetime, but sometimes, they will be the same as children.

"So, I was wondering, can you figure it out. These people are already pitiful. If you can satisfy them, try to satisfy them. Of course, if you're embarrassed, then I'm not saying it. The old man looked at Liang Jian and said.

Liang Jian smiled helplessly and said, "You said it all, and I listened to it, how can you assume that you didn't say it." I am also the secretary general of the municipal party committee, and the affairs of the people of Huajing City are my affairs. ”

"Okay!" the old man slapped his thigh and shouted happily: "Then I will ask you for this matter!"

Liang Jian saw that he was happy, and felt that he was tricked by him. The feelings he just said were just to retreat into advance, and to be polite in front of him.

However, Liang Jian was not angry, seeing that he was as happy as a child, Liang Jian was in a good mood. This old man didn't know his identity before, so he was able to invite him to dinner, which shows that the old man himself is still a good person.

Therefore, what Liang Jian said just now was also from his heart. Since the old man told him about this, he can't pretend that he didn't hear it, right? Besides, since the old man is a good person, and this matter is not for the old man himself, Liang Jian can help him.

However, although he knew about this, he couldn't go directly to the relevant person in charge to make conditions, he had to understand the specific situation here first. Just listening to the old man alone, it is not enough, it is inevitable that there will be bias.
