Chapter 204: Old Uncle Liang borrowed money
However, a few days have passed, and no one has come to interfere with the construction, and those honest villagers will no longer come after receiving the compensation. Those not very honest villagers also did not act for the time being, presumably depending on the direction of the wind.
There are no outsiders to disturb, the preparation work on the construction site is carried out quickly, three or four days, the workers' dormitories, canteens and other facilities have also been completed, the construction site of East Building Materials has come to an end, leaving seven or eight workers to clean up slowly, the remaining workers need to move to this new construction site to live, and the excess temporary houses must be demolished.
Because it was a big move, Su Rui came over to ask Qingfeng if he wanted to go, Qingfeng thought that he had lived there when he first entered the modern society, and he was bored in the past two days, so it was better to go with the car to see. I heard that Shilipu Village next to East Building Materials is going to be demolished, and I guess I won't have time to go again in the future, so I can also take a look at Aunt Zhang who helped me by the way.
I haven't seen it for more than half a month, and the construction site of East Building Materials has changed again, and the rest of the work has been basically done, leaving seven or eight workers to just do some tinkering work, and the other is to clean up the site, and then tear down the previous temporary building, and restore the occupied site.
Naturally, Su Rui and Lao Zhu led the workers to do the moving work, Qingfeng didn't need to do it, he turned around twice in the original place, and slowly went out of the East Building Materials.
The outside is as lively as ever, and on both sides of the road, people who buy and sell things, pull goods, work hard, and even some small businesses in the surrounding area occupy almost all the open space on the roadside. The big stone bridge is not far away, and the cars on the bridge are coming and going, and under the bridge are the same as a few months ago, standing or sitting dozens of migrant workers who have sold their labor to make a living, chatting and keeping an eye on the surrounding movements, waiting for the employer to come to the door.
Further away, next to a community, is the urban village of Shilipu Village, which looks chaotic from the outside, and is more lively than the East Building Materials. I heard that the date of demolition has been set for Shilipu, so there are many fewer mobile people inside than usual.
It is reasonable to say that it is a good thing to tear down the dirty and messy village and build it into a beautiful community, the city is beautiful and looks high-grade. But for ordinary workers, it is more difficult to rent a house, although the urban village is dirty, but it is cheap to live, two or three hundred yuan can rent a standard room, there is a small bathroom in it, the balcony can also be used as a kitchen, there is no shortage of water and electricity networks, and a lot of money can be saved every month. But where will I live after the demolition? A random house is renting two or three thousand a month, and even if two or three people share a house, the cost will be quite a lot. Therefore, no one can say whether this demolition of urban villages is a good thing or a bad thing.
I remember that when I came to modern society, the first bowl of rice I ate was at the Zhang Ji Noodle Restaurant in Shilipu, and Aunt Zhang took good care of herself at that time. This place is about to be demolished, and it is estimated that their noodle restaurant will not be opened, and I don't know if we can meet again in the future, so let's go and say hello.
Qingfeng walked quickly to Shilipu, and found Zhang Ji Noodle Restaurant along the street, it was still early at noon, the noodle restaurant had just opened, and there was no customer, only Aunt Zhang was sitting at the door bored. As soon as Qingfeng arrived at the door, Aunt Zhang recognized him at a glance and said with a smile: "It's Xiaofeng, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I haven't gone to work today?" I heard Brother Liang say, you have become a foreman on the construction site, or you young people have a future." ”
Qingfeng said: "I'm not busy today, just come out and take a walk." How's business going?"
"It's still like that, you can't make a fortune, and it's still okay to support your family. Aunt Zhang said.
"No one is coming to the store to make trouble anymore, is it?" asked Qingfeng.
Aunt Zhang said: "No, no, the last time it was an accident, don't look at the dirty mess of Shilipu, but the security is okay, and nothing evil has happened." There will be occasional petty theft, fights and brawls, as long as you take care of your own things, you will generally not be affected. ”
In a place where so many outsiders live, it is not uncommon for fights and brawls to occur, and it is normal for there to be many thieves, who in the city has not lost two or three cars? Qingfeng said: "I heard that this place is going to be demolished, so I came to take a look, do you need help?" ”
Aunt Zhang said: "There are still two months before the date of demolition, but my son and daughter-in-law have already discussed, and after this month, they will pack up and go home, ready to rent a shop in our county and continue to work." The granddaughter of the family is old and is about to go to school in the county seat, so she can take care of it by opening a store in the county. We don't have anything valuable in this small store, and we don't want to deal with it on the spot, so we go back to the county seat and buy it, and the rest of the things are pulled away in a car, without your help. ”
The breeze is just polite, and the mind is there. didn't sit for long, Aunt Zhang's son and daughter-in-law came back from grocery shopping, and chatted with them a few more words, Qingfeng was about to get up to say goodbye, and as soon as he stood up, he saw Uncle Liang coming over in a hurry.
Uncle Liang's face was very ugly, and he looked worried, he was going to talk to Aunt Zhang first, but when he saw that Qingfeng was also there, he hesitated a little, and then said: "Xiaofeng is also there, then I'll tell you." ”
"What's the matter?" Qingfeng was stunned.
Old Uncle Liang suddenly blushed, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind and said, "Can you lend me 10,000 yuan first?"
Just now, Qingfeng also saw Uncle Liang working the construction site to demolish the temporary house, and now he came out to borrow money, it is estimated that the family has something to do and urgently needs money, otherwise it would not be a preoccupied look. Uncle Liang originally came to Zhang Ji Noodle Restaurant to borrow money, but he should have changed his mind when he saw Qingfeng, knowing that Qingfeng's salary is high, and he usually doesn't spend much money.
Old Uncle Liang used to take good care of Qingfeng, and he must help with this favor. Qingfeng said: "I have the money now, is 10,000 yuan enough?"
"Enough, enough, I have saved more than 10,000 yuan myself, which must be enough. Uncle Liang said.
"Look at you coming here in a hurry, did you encounter something?" asked Aunt Zhang beside her.
Uncle Liang sighed and said, "Just now, my youngest son called, saying that there was a car accident in Nangui Province and he needed 20,000 yuan for surgery, so I asked him to call the money immediately." Alas, I finally saved enough money for my mother's surgery, and now it's in the soup again. ”
Aunt Zhang asked, "Brother Liang, didn't you hear you say that you have an eldest daughter before?
Uncle Liang said: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and my eldest daughter is also very filial, but the conditions of her son-in-law's family are not good, and her mother-in-law's family watches it closely and never lets her manage money." The daughter who got married spilled the water, the eldest daughter is powerless, and it will be bad if she knows, I can't make their in-laws restless because of this matter. (To be continued.) )
