There is always some laziness in the morning light in winter, and at 7:50 in the morning, it rises a little higher than the horizon unhurriedly, and there is a long queue in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, there are men and women, old and young, everyone is jumping in the courtyard to resist the cold wind in the north in winter, and the uncle of the Civil Affairs Bureau is in the heated office hall room through the glass door and looks at the jumping people with great interest, as if everyone who comes to do things is performing a funny pantomime. The staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau walked unhurriedly to their workbenches, some of them sat down in advance, and they all took out their dressing boxes, milk bread or something, touch-up makeup, and those who ate breakfast ate breakfast, and the rhythm was slow, as if this was a daily routine.

At 8:01, the janitor, who had seen enough pantomime, seemed to open the lock on the door in slow motion, and the crowd behind rushed in, and a woman in front of the team was squeezed and stumbled, and hit the janitor, and the janitor pushed the woman away, and roared in disgust, "What are you squeezing, don't you know in line, you bumped me into me, can you accompany me?" The women also hurriedly helped the janitor straighten his clothes and apologized repeatedly.

Bai Xiaobai slowly moved into the hall along the flow of people to get the number and queue up, looked around, the open hall covers an area of about 100 square meters, about 7-8 meters into the marble counter, a total of 7 windows in the business, looked at the number list with 12 written in his hand, Bai Xiaobai sat in the position of the hall propaganda policy column, and picked up a copy of the civil affairs hall to look at it.

"Please handle business at counters from the 12th to the 7th. ”

About an hour later, the electronic sound of the 12th business sounded on the radio. Bai Xiaobai stood up and tidied up his clothes, walked straight to window No. 7, and handed over the formalities

"What about being a soldier? After two years of being a worker, you have a job? Your life is really good, high Chinese, you can have an iron job in two years, I don't know what the country thinks, support you gang of idle food, wait." ”

After the staff at the counter muttered some inconsequential words, they left Bai Xiaobai and walked to the back room, Bai Xiaobai had the intention to defend himself, but looking at these women with heavy makeup and glamorous makeup, he couldn't see his real age, and swallowed back the words when they came to his mouth. After waiting for about half an hour, the woman returned to the counter step by step, holding a thick file in her hand, with Bai Xiaobai's name and the unit number he was familiar with written on the cover of the file bag.

"Yo, how can you be a soldier for 8 years? Be stupid, aren't you? Excellent soldier, party member, third-class merit? Oh yes? And second-class merit? Tut-tut~ I bought it, right? I have been doing civil affairs work for so many years, and the first time I saw the second-class merit, it was fake at first glance, young man, your army is very tough, and you actually bought a second-class merit and came back, and it didn't cost less, right? Superfluous, let me tell you, our city's second-class merit can't give you a cadre, at most you will be divided into a public institution, you guys who are soldiers don't know anything, and when the time comes, it's the end of driving a car or something. The woman with heavy makeup didn't look up at Bai Xiaobai, showing off her many years of business experience in civil affairs work, and at the same time, she didn't forget to teach him about her work experience.

"You are unmarried? You have to go to the marriage agency to issue me an unmarried certificate, and your ID card is not good, this is an ID card from 8 years ago, no, you have to go to the police station to issue a household registration certificate to prove that you are a resident of this community." The woman with heavy makeup, who had gone through all the formalities of Bai Xiaobai, threw back Bai Xiaobai's household registration book and ID card, and impatiently told Bai Xiaobai to open a certificate.

"My ID card and household registration book are all here, and my address and marriage status are written on it, why can't I prove my identity?" Bai Xiaobai couldn't bear to go back.

"Oh, you're not happy anymore? I'm not happy yet, who can guarantee it in this society now? If you have an ID card, it must be true? I know if your ID card was stolen? Besides, it's been 8 years, who knows if you still live in the same place? If you are asked to drive it, you can drive it, so much nonsense. When the woman with heavy makeup heard that Bai Xiaobai actually dared to fight back, she yelled at Bai Xiaobai as if it had suddenly exploded, and after shouting, she couldn't help but press the trumpeter

"Please ...... at counters 14 to 7"

Bai Xiaobai took the formalities and looked at the woman with heavy makeup, and after half the weather, she could only smile helplessly and walked out of the office hall of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"You can't demolish it, you can't demolish it, how can you police force it with these people. "At the demolition site of the drainage ditch along the river road, four or five excavators and three or four forklifts riveted as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, roaring and rushing to the small courtyards one after another, the sound of broken bricks and tiles was accompanied by the heart-rending shouts of the owners of the demolished households, a group of ruffians stopped the uneven people outside, cursed from time to time, waved the watermelon knife in their hands from time to time, and listened to a few police vans near the demolition site, and more than a dozen uniformed policemen were smoking cigarettes from east to west, pointing at the crowd and the demolition site。

"I said bald, you can hurry up, we came out this time in the name of patrolling, if you leak it for me, I can tell you, you kid can't give me food and go around." ”

The middle-aged man with the highest rank in the police said vaguely as he leaned over the cigarette from his mouth and lit it to the little flat head in a mink coat opposite.

"Jia Suo, you know, this gang of people really can't be rectified, you say this is in the way and eyesore, this is no longer ten minutes, and finally the old white head and his family pushed, everything will be fine, what does it matter to our buddies, you say yes? Besides, my boss is ready for Brother Jia, Brother Jia, you can wait for five minutes and take the brothers to evacuate, you work hard, you are tired. The bald man looked flattering, turned his head and waved at his little minions, and in the shouts of these little minions, all the forklifts and excavators turned around and rushed to Bai Xiaobai's house.

Five minutes later, there was no longer an alley along the river road drainage ditch in City C, it was full of rubble and rubble, and a group of policemen disappeared from the sight of the crowd in police cars.

"Boss, it's not good, the old white head has someone in their family, and the old white head and the old white lady are all buried under the stones. As soon as the police left, a little red-haired minion hurriedly ran up and whispered in the ear of the man called Bald.

"What the hell are you talking about? Didn't you say that everyone was cleared out here? What are the people doing now?" The bald man heard the little brother below say this, and waved his hand with a mouth to shake it first, and there was a crisp snap, and the red hair almost didn't turn in a circle.

"But I can choke, it takes at least an hour to dig it out, and the guy from the excavator just now saw it when he pushed the gable of the house, and it was too late to park. The red hair, which was beaten a little blindfolded, covered his face with five finger prints, as if he was quite aggrieved, and looked at his boss with tears in his eyes.

The bald man glanced at the people who were still talking around him, and then looked at the demolition site of the Bai family's old house, as if he had suddenly made a decision, spit out the cigarette in his mouth to the ground, and walked straight towards the nearest excavator, dragged the excavator driver down from the driver's seat, sat in the driver's seat in person, opened the excavator with one foot on the accelerator and directly ran the ruins of the Bai family's old house back and forth several times, and then operated the excavator to push all the surrounding bricks and tiles to the gable position of the collapsed Bai family's old house, and it took about an hour, at this time, the unknown onlookers slowly dispersed, the bald man also led the construction machinery and the little minions to escape from the scene.
