Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Pipa of the Garden
The main purpose of Yi Shuihan's visit to the urban village today is to inspect the specific local situation on the spot, to know himself and his opponent, so that he can survive a hundred battles.
Since he has taken over this business, whether it is forced or deliberately done by others, it is natural to do it properly and beautifully, which is also Yi Shuihan's consistent style of doing things.
Of course, the most important thing is to let the Wang family father and son understand that they have enough strength to be their pawns, and also to impress those Guanghao Group executives who disdain him, so that he can really sit on the big ship of the Wang family.
To put it bluntly, this river and lake is a river and lake where people eat people and black eats black, and there are countless intrigues and intrigues, only relying on the bottom characters who have been crawling in small places for half of their lives to make trouble, and I don't know when and when I will be able to ascend to the hall of elegance.
The ancients often said: A gentleman is not different, and he is good at things. Only people who are good at improving themselves with the help of external forces can succeed at the fastest speed, Yi Shuihan thinks so.
If it weren't for climbing the line of the Wang family father and son, he didn't know how many years he would have to struggle to squeeze into the circle of the Wang family's father and son temples and those shopping mall executives, although most of them now have a cold wait-and-see attitude, but at least they have half a foot in it.
The information that can be collected and the pattern that can be appreciated by the different circles are naturally very different, as if you are messing around with some scoundrels all day long, how big is the vision of the pattern? Do you want to go there to find two young and inexpensive hair salon ladies, or do you want to peek at the handsome widow taking a bath? Or maybe you want to grab a bite to eat at a new supermarket?
The pattern is too small, and the volume is naturally not high, which is why those local tyrants who got rich overnight, no matter how expensive Armani or Pierre Cardin are, they feel like they are bought for ten or twenty yuan on a stall. lacks the corresponding background and pattern, no matter how rich the family is, it is inevitable to have a rather ironic title of local tyrant, which is also one of the kind of people Yi Shuihan does not want to become.
Because the streets of the urban village were too narrow, there was really no way for the obscene uncle's shabby Skoda to drive in, so the two simply got out of the car and walked on foot.
According to the information given to him by Qian Qiang, Yi Shuihan is going to go to a house called Uncle Gu to have a look, according to the information, this Uncle Gu is over the age of six, his wife died of illness decades ago, and there is only one son under his knees, but his son has a stubborn and idle personality since he was a child, and was sentenced to one year in prison for burglary.
Uncle Gu has spent most of his life in this urban village, so when he heard that the government was going to demolish his house, he was the first to disagree, this house was the only thought left to him by his wife, and now he has half of his body in the ground, and she will never allow his only spiritual sustenance to be demolished, even if he dies, he plans to die with this old house.
In addition to Uncle Gu's simple reluctance to live in his old home, there are also a considerable number of people who just want to sit on the ground and raise the price, trying to get a higher demolition payment, these various reasons have made the demolition progress of Guanghao Group stagnant for a long time, Yi Shuihan has to find a way to solve these problems one by one, so that the project can be started as soon as possible.
After turning a few street corners, Yi Shuihan and the lewd uncle came to a rather quiet and elegant courtyard, the courtyard is a typical product of the last century, the outer wall is a fence made of bamboo, and the small bungalow on the first floor and one bottom is also built of red bricks, which were particularly popular at the end of the last century. The area around the courtyard is very clean and refreshing, which makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally, and it seems incompatible with the filth of other places in the urban village.
In the yard is planted an old pipa tree, which is rich and dense, strong and powerful. The canopy of the tree is like a cover, covering the entire courtyard, which is quite a bit of a quiet artistic conception hidden in the city. The occasional fallen leaves under the trees, lying on the spotless concrete floor, not only did not make the whole yard look cluttered, but had a somewhat different meaning.
Yi Shuihan stood at the door, knocked softly a few times on the wooden door that was estimated to be a few years old, the courtyard was quiet for a long time, and after about half a minute, the wooden door was opened by an old man on crutches.
The old man has gray hair, wears an ordinary white old man's shirt, wears a pair of reading glasses, and has peaceful eyes, which is the same as most old people of this age.
"Uncle Fan, please forgive me for disturbing your leisure."
Yi Shuihan was apologetic and bowed slightly.
"Well, I know what you're here for, come in and sit down, you're a polite young man compared to the other people who just push the door and break in. Those people are not exquisite. ”
The uncle shook his head, and led the way alone on crutches, while Yi Shuihan and the obscene uncle followed.
Passing by the pipa tree, a wooden chessboard is placed on a Ming-style girdle table, there is a chess box in black and white at each end, and the black and white flags on the chessboard are criss-crossed.
The lewd uncle followed, staring at the chessboard with a slight frown, and rarely put away his hippie smile that had not changed for thousands of years, thinking thoughtfully about something.
"Uncle, do you like to play Go very much?"
Yi Shuihan looked at Uncle Fan, who was leading the way in front, and said.
"It's too boring to be alone, so when you're fine, you can talk to yourself."
The uncle, who was on crutches and slightly hunched on his back, did not look back, and his voice was a little lonely.
Walking into the bungalow, the uncle poured a cup of tea for Yi Shuihan and the obscene uncle, the tea was planted by himself in the yard, not to mention how shocking, but the victory is in the long and mellow aftertaste, small mouth and throat, lips and teeth are fragrant, the more intriguing the taste.
The obscene uncle couldn't drink tea, and he didn't know how to taste tea, so he raised his head and poured down a cup of tea, and seemed to feel a little thirsty after drinking, so he poured a cup of cow to drink, and Yi Shuihan had to smile helplessly.
"Uncle, are you alone at home?"
Yi Shuihan asked knowingly, wanting to break this slightly subtle atmosphere. I came to the door to demolish someone else's house, but this house is very important to the uncle, even if both sides did not pick it out, but the atmosphere is still a little dull.
The uncle sat on a wooden chair at the door, put the cane in his hand horizontally in his arms, and his tone was as calm as ever.
"My wife has been gone for decades, and my son's whereabouts are unknown, so I am the only one left living here all these years."
Yi Shuihan sighed secretly, how can such a lonely old man open his mouth, as soon as he gets older, he becomes more and more nostalgic for some old things, this peaceful and calm uncle makes him unconsciously think of his grandfather in the countryside, the same peace and quiet, the same old dragon clock, so Yi Shuihan just sat aside silently, and did not mention the demolition and relocation.
"Let's talk about it."
The old man smiled peacefully, he knew the purpose of Yi Shuihan and the two of them, and there were not a few people who came with this purpose in mind these days.
"Let's not talk about this today, Uncle Fan, today we only talk about family affairs and don't talk about business."
Yi Shuihan smiled slightly, looked at the ordinary old man in front of him and said softly.
"The young man is indeed different from the group of people who came before."
The old man paused and continued.
"Okay, then we'll just do it today."
……
Two hours later, Yi Shuihan and Uncle Lewd left from Uncle Fan's courtyard, and when they left, Uncle Fan sent the two to the gate of the courtyard.
"Xiao Yi, come over to play next time you have time."
"Hmm."
Yi Shuihan nodded and promised, and waved his hand to signal that the uncle didn't need to send it anymore.
Seeing Yi Shuihan gradually drift away, Uncle Fan slowly returned to his courtyard on crutches, leaned on his deck chair made of bamboo, and muttered to himself.
"Interesting and interesting, this gentle river and lake is finally going to have a little anger."
