Maizi walked back to the yard with a gloomy face and found that there were many neighbors gathered downstairs in the unit.

"Yo, the wheat is back!"

When the neighbors saw the wheat, they all gathered around excitedly.

Maizi was confused: "Aunt Wang, Aunt Li, what's wrong?" ”

Aunt Wang pulled Maizi and asked, "Maizi, do you know the developer who took our land?" ”

must have been seen by the neighbors while pulling with Ye Zifan.

The neighbors all looked at him expectantly, and Maizi didn't know how to explain the relationship between the two to them for a while.

Maizi's silence attracted the dissatisfaction of Aunt Li upstairs: "I said Maizi, since you know the developer, why didn't you say it earlier?" I knew the head of the developer, what kind of road are we going to do, what roads are we blocking? ”

Other neighbors chimed in: "Yes! Maizi, can you go and talk to him about relaxing the compensation clause a little more? ”

The neighbors' requests made Mai Zi very embarrassed, and he had just broken up with Ye Zifan, and Mai Zi really didn't want to lower his head to find him again.

He said with some guilt: "Aunt Li, I only learned that he was the developer who collected our house when I went to the parade today. We haven't been in touch for a long time, and we were just nodding friends, and we haven't seen each other for so long, I'm afraid ......"

Aunt Li was not happy when she heard this, she hung her wrinkled face, opened her throat and said, "Maizi, don't make excuses, I think you are unwilling to help everyone with this!" ”

Maizi saw that Aunt Li had completely misunderstood, and hurriedly defended: "Aunt Li, no, there is no such thing!"

"Don't admit it, how did I hear that he prepared a house for you?"

"Aunt Li, you misunderstood, things are not what you imagined."

Mai Zi's face was flushed anxiously, but Aunt Li obviously didn't believe it, and still didn't follow her duties Mai Zi: "Maizi, you can't be so selfish. At that time, Mai Bao was still young, you don't know how to bring it yourself, it is not all with everyone's help, can you successfully raise Mai Bao without us? Now if you ask us to do us a little favor, you will push back, you are too unconscionable! ”

The neighbors also nodded their heads in agreement, and you condemned the wheat word by word.

"That's right, you can't be so selfish wheat! Even if you don't know this real estate developer well, at least you can talk to him in front of him, and if we know him, we don't need to ask you!"

"Everyone is a neighbor, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors! If we hadn't really had a problem, we wouldn't have opened this mouth to you. ”

Although the neighbors pretended to be polite on the surface, the complaints in their words were unmistakable. Maizi bit her lower lip and clutched her pants tightly with her hands.

His father died of illness that year, and Mai Bao had just recovered from his illness and was discharged from the hospital. Maizi embraced the tender little life, and his dazed and helpless instantly submerged his little strength. He didn't know if he was capable of taking care of Mai Bao, and his impulsiveness and stubbornness were also rendered into deep remorse by responsibility. But the warmth in his arms reminded him to be strong and not to fall.

But how to raise children, Maizi doesn't know anything. After becoming a father, Maizi really understood what it meant to raise a child and know the kindness of his parents. When the neighbors saw that he was alone with a child, it was not easy, and they would enthusiastically help him.

Mai Bao's cotton clothes in winter are all made by Aunt Li, and when she comes back late from overtime, her neighbor Sister Zhao helps pick up Mai Bao. Maizi took advantage of so much kindness from his neighbors that he really couldn't say no.

But the thought of confronting the man again, and speaking to him with a word of pleading, for him to give him a gift, made Maizi feel uncomfortable. When he left him, he swore that even if he had a hard time in the future, he would not let him give him a penny.

The wheat was also in great difficulty for a while.

Aunt Wang saw Maizi's face full of sadness, and she didn't know what to do, and she also felt that everyone was too strong. Maizi's personality knows best, and if she can really talk to the developer, he can't help everyone.

Aunt Wang took Maizi's hand and said with relief: "Maizi, don't be embarrassed, if you really think this thing is difficult, just treat it as if you haven't said it." ”

Aunt Wang's tone was sincere, her face was full of kind smiles, and there was no hint of reproach, and Maizi suddenly felt extremely guilty. Aunt Wang's wife is sick in bed all the year round, and the monthly medicine bill is a large expense. The son, daughter-in-law and grandson, a family of five are crammed into this small house. This demolition is bound to make the family even worse, which is not wealthy.

Thinking of the poor family situation of the neighbors, the suffering of being homeless. The little insistence in Maizi's heart also completely collapsed.

"Aunt Wang, I really don't know the real estate developer very well. I'm doing my best to see if he can give us another relaxation of the compensation clause, and I really can't guarantee whether it will be successful or not!"

The neighbors immediately smiled when they saw Maizi say this: "It's okay, it's okay, you just have to say!" Even if it doesn't work out, we won't blame you!"

Aunt Wang was a little reluctant: "Maizi, if you are embarrassed, forget it!"

Aunt Li glared at Aunt Wang unhappily, took Maizi's hand enthusiastically, and smiled all over her face: "Maizi, just now Aunt Li spoke a little rushed, don't take it to heart!" You know I can't sleep every night because I'm worried about the house! Maizi withdrew his hand and said, "Aunt Li, I know!"

Aunt Li said eagerly: "Then when are you going!" Aren't you not at work in the afternoon? ”

Maizi was difficult to ride a tiger, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go in the afternoon!" ”
