Moving from a low brick house in the past to a spacious and bright building now, Liu Qiang's joy in his heart is self-evident.

As a person who has worked in a state-owned enterprise for one or two decades, and now he is a critical age group for the old and the young, the changes that have happened to him in the past two years make him feel emotional.

Liu Qiang's Tienan District Sewing Machine Factory was also well-known in northern Liaoning in the past, and in the early nineties, although the situation of the factory was unsatisfactory, it was able to barely survive.

With the deterioration of the overall economic situation in Chuncheng around 94 years, the Tienan District Sewing Machine Factory finally could not resist the tide of history and fell to the ground, and since then ordinary workers like Liu Qiang, who are honest and simple and have no skills, have become increasingly difficult.

Unlike those relatively large-scale state-owned enterprises, Liu Qiang's sewing machine factory has gradually run out of way out because of its low technical content and market space, and the workers after bankruptcy and reorganization have basically experienced a long period of low tide in their lives.

Liu Qiang was no exception, after surviving the tormented days of being laid off and unemployed at home, going to the street with his daughter-in-law to set up a stall and do business was his only way out of life at that time.

With his honest and trustworthy style of conduct and hard-working spirit, Liu Qiang's small business has gradually improved over the years.

Compared with those big households in Spring City, who are often hundreds of thousands or millions, Liu Qiang's business may be far inferior.

However, he can have an income of 180,000 yuan every year, compared with the previous self who worked hard in the factory and only earned a few hundred yuan, that day was already a heaven and an earth.

What surprised Liu Qiang the most was that he, who had been laid off and started his own business at home, also participated in the lottery of the first batch of affordable housing that had just been built in Spring City.

Originally, because the economic conditions have greatly improved and he is ready to buy a new house, Liu Qiang is simply satisfied with this happy day with many happy events.

Liu Qiang's situation is actually a lot in the current Spring City, which is also when people like them, who have now separated from state-owned enterprises and seek their own development, have a better living situation, and many people in Spring City, including the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, have different opinions on their ability to participate in the lottery for affordable housing.

More monks and less porridge is the top problem faced by the first phase of affordable housing in Chuncheng after the completion of the first phase.

There are nearly 500,000 families of state-owned enterprise workers in Spring City, and the total number of affordable housing units in the first phase is less than 100,000.

Although the second phase and even the third phase of affordable housing will be completed and put into use in a year's time, seeing such a beautiful new house in front of you, I am afraid that everyone who has been waiting for a long time is a little reluctant to continue to wait.

In this way, in order to fairly and reasonably meet the needs of countless workers who have been looking forward to it for many years, lottery has become a very acceptable method.

Laid-off workers like Liu Qiang, who are now bankrupt state-owned enterprises, have naturally become the target of crowd exclusion, and in the eyes of many, at least people like them, who have left the organization on their own initiative, will not be able to participate in the lottery for the first batch of affordable housing.

When he first heard such rumors, Liu Qiang's depression in his heart can be imagined, but when he saw the relevant departments of the municipal party committee and municipal government on TV explaining the allocation of affordable housing, a burst of ecstasy surged into his heart and made him extremely proud.

The targets of Chuncheng's affordable housing allocation include all state-owned enterprise workers before bankruptcy and reorganization, and Liu Qiang, who is now begging for his own livelihood, is also on the list.

Spring City attaches great importance to the lottery of the first batch of affordable housing, and the day of the official on-site lottery can be described as an empty alley, whether people who are eligible for the lottery or not are concerned in the live broadcast of the local TV station in Spring City.

Looking at the smiling people holding the keys to their own properties, almost all the citizens of Spring City have a kind of empathetic and beautiful feelings.

As a long-established industrial base, state-owned enterprise workers in Chuncheng account for almost half of the city's population.

To be able to make some basic compensation for these people who have made great contributions to the economy of Chuncheng and even China, this is also a must for the leaders of Chuncheng, including Chen Youwei.

Liu Qiang's luck was really good, he didn't have much hope, he really won the key to get the number, especially the more satisfactory floor, which also made him happy.

After a period of waiting, after getting the notice that they could officially move, Liu Qiang's family happily moved into a new and bright new home.

The two-bedroom and two-living room with a total area of less than 80 square meters is a very modern room design, which makes Liu Qiang, who has lived in a low-rise tile house for half his life, very forgetful.

Especially seeing that all the rooms were directly decorated, and the smooth and dazzling floor tiles almost didn't make Liu Qiang dare not enter the house, for fear of soiling the ground.

Liu Qiang's reaction did not cause laughter in the eyes of his family, for the beautiful life that they could only see on TV in the past, at that moment they were overjoyed and full of admiration and gratitude for the leaders of Chuncheng who created all this for them, especially the young municipal party secretary who completely changed their lives.

With a reassuring warm and comfortable nest, Liu Qiang invested all the funds in his hand that was originally going to buy a house into the business, deliberately selected a façade house with a good location, and said goodbye to the street stalls completely.

After many years of business, Liu Qiang's vision has obviously improved a few grades compared with the beginning, and he decisively changed careers while he now has some funds accumulated for many years in his hands.

Guarding a small and small façade, Liu Qiang directly started the mobile phone sales business, and soon made some names in this brand-new industry with his good reputation, and more prosperous days were waving to him.

Things in the business gradually stabilized, Liu Qiang did not stay in the store all the time as he did in the past, and hired a few clerks to be responsible for daily specific sales, and now he also looks like a small boss.

On this weekend, after Liu Qiang got up early as usual, he watered the potted flowers planted on the balcony of his home with great interest, and listened to the little songs played on the radio, which was very relaxed and comfortable.

In the past few years of exercising at street stalls, Liu Qiang, who used to be a little slow to accept new things, is now like being reborn.

If he stands in front of his former co-workers now, he will definitely be mistaken for a pampered office white-collar worker.

After a simple breakfast, Liu Qiang was just about to go out to the store when he heard his daughter-in-law suddenly shout in a fuss: "Lao Liu, come quickly, the bathroom is flooding!" ”

Liu Qiang felt strange in his heart, and hurriedly went over to check.

He thought it was a burst water pipe in his bathroom, but when he looked up and saw a trickle of water flowing down from the thin cracks in the wall of the upstairs bathroom, he was dumbfounded.

What's going on?

What happens to a building that has just been built and relocated?

"Lao Liu, what are you still standing stupidly for?" Liu Qiang's daughter-in-law urged in the back: "Yesterday, the water pipeline was maintained and the water was stopped, this must be that the people upstairs forgot to turn off the faucet!" ”

Liu Qiang shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know who this family upstairs is?" I usually can't even see a figure, how can I find someone at this time? ”

"I said Lao Liu, you are really an elm head, in this case, we can just dial 110, anyway, this is also to help them do a good deed. If it really keeps flooding like this, their house will definitely suffer! Liu Qiang's daughter-in-law is obviously much more resolute and decisive than himself.

Looking at the continuous flow of water above the bathroom, even if Liu Qiang had more concerns, his daughter-in-law's last sentence reminded him that if he really drowned like this, he was afraid that it would not only be the upstairs family that would suffer.

After a call to 110, a whizzing police car came very quickly.

Liu Qiang, who was standing downstairs, hurriedly greeted him, and said in a slightly anxious tone: "Comrade, there is no one in my upstairs household, but the water pipes in the bathroom are not turned off, and now my house is about to give a lot of water!" ”

The policeman who came asked very dryly, "How many floors?" ”

"My house is on the second floor, and that's on the third floor!" Liu Qiang took the initiative to go upstairs with two policemen in front.

After a careful look at Liu Qiang's house, the two policemen finally determined that the problem still needed to be solved from upstairs, and turned around and went upstairs.

Liu Qiang also followed, and after such a commotion, the surrounding residents were also alarmed and came to take a look.

When I came to the third floor, water began to flow out of the door of the living room of the resident's house, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the entire staircase will be flooded.

Heavily equipped police officers crouched down and quickly opened the locked door.

Walking to the bathroom, the police turned off the rushing water pipe, looked up and down the water-soaked bathroom and a small storage room next to the bathroom, and frowned slightly.

"Trouble a few masters to come in and help move his things here to a place where there is no standing water......" The policeman at the head shouted strangely as he looked at a brand-new TV box in the storage room.

Liu Qiang and the others responded to the call, looked at the TV packaging box placed on the ground of the storage room, shook their heads and sighed: "This is a big loss, this family is really strange, why is the newly bought TV set placed here?" ”

A few neighbors who are already very familiar with each other, naturally they will not easily stand by in the face of such a thing, Liu Qiang and others bent down and prepared to lift this seemingly very light box.

The bottom of the packing box has been soaked with stagnant water, and the most important thing is that the inside of the box seems to be very heavy, but it is not as heavy as Liu Qiang and others imagined.

A stumbling under the loss of strength almost made Liu Qiang and others fall to the ground.

The lower part of the box, which had been vigorously pulled, was not very strong under the soaking of stagnant water, and at this moment, it immediately fell apart with a bang.

The objects scattered all over the box not only made Liu Qiang and the others dumbfounded, but even the police next to them were dumbfounded.

The neat stack of hundred-yuan bills appeared in front of everyone like this, even if Liu Qiang was a person who had achieved a little success in business, he couldn't help but feel his blood gushing when he saw such a scene.

A box full of 100-dollar bills is at least millions, so who can have such a huge amount of wealth?

The two policemen looked at each other solemnly, and the first thing they thought of was that something had happened! Something is wrong!!
