Ye Cheng

Soon, the demolition documents came down, and I learned from those who came to repair shoes that most of them were actually unwilling to move out.After all, the location here is good. It is very convenient for children to go to school or adults to go to work in the city. There is a bus stop at the intersection, and many buses pass by. It is said that the subway will be repaired soon, and there is also a subway station nearby.

Because there are relatively few shops in this area, and there are several stops away from the vegetable market, there is a section of their alley dedicated to selling vegetables. It has been in existence for decades, and now it has a growing trend.In the past two years, several new residential areas have been built nearby. People in the community like to come to this old area to buy vegetables and daily necessities, mainly for the convenience and convenience.

Ye Cheng's alley also opened a few new shops, selling stationery and children's clothes. Although it is not a big business, it is still a livelihood for the people here.I have to move away all at once, but I have a place to live, but to do business, I have to find a new store. Stores in the city are not cheap. How can it be like my own home, where I have to pay some water and electricity bills all month long.

Knowing that no one wanted to move, Ye Cheng felt at ease. The pace of demolition has slowed down in the past two years, and many forced demolition has been criticized by the society. As long as the residents here do not leave, no one can do anything to them.

He contacted a few people who were determined to resist the demolition, including old people and young people, and they began to collect public opinions through the streets, and those who disagreed with the demolition signed the protest letter, and this information would be useful at that time.Gradually, people who opposed the demolition gathered. Slogans resisting demolition were posted everywhere in the old streets and alleys. The attitude is not very sure.

Ye Cheng and the others meant that the demolition documents were issued by the City Planning Bureau, and they first went to the Planning Bureau with the protest letter, but the relevant personnel said that although they issued the documents, the decision-making was not made by the Planning Bureau , As for who to contact for this matter, they did not say clearly.

It's like punching cotton. You want to resist, but you can't find someone to resist. Parade?That's against the law. Whoever takes the lead? Although the law does not punish the public, there is a saying that shoots the head.But Ye Cheng still stood up, and there were many people who stood up with him. There were many people who were reluctant to part with this old area, not just one or two.

They first put up banners and wrote big characters in the community, and then gradually took to the streets. They wandered for two hours every morning. If the person in charge didn't come out, they continued to march.At the beginning, there were very few people participating in the parade, but after seeing that they were all fine, more and more people joined in.It is illegal to parade without approval, and they have written applications, but those applications have disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea, without any news.

Later, the parade brought people in the entire residential area together, and gradually formed a tacit understanding, which strengthened their determination to resist demolition.

Their parade quickly attracted the attention of the society, and people from all walks of life expressed their views on the demolition documents. After all, the area to be demolished is all old houses, many of which were left over from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.Some scholars even organized negotiations with the construction department through the city's cultural department, expressing their desire to preserve this old residential area.

There are photographers on the city forum who have uploaded dozens of photos of this old street and alley. The cultural atmosphere is very strong. Gradually, the voice of preserving this residential area is getting louder and louder.

People from the Planning Bureau came to measure with instruments, but the car was stopped by the residents outside the residential area. The demolition work could not be carried out, and some people from the street office came out to mobilize the work, but no matter how nice the words were, it couldn’t change everyone’s attitude after the demolition. The fact that originally cheap houses and shops will be lost.

Half a month later, the Planning Bureau issued another document, notifying that the demolition operation will not be carried out for the time being, and the relevant departments will communicate and negotiate with the local residents before making a decision.

Then Ye Cheng and other activists who organized the parade were taken away to the police station in their area because they obstructed public order.As for why the comrades in the police station are so aware of the leaders of the recent demonstrations, everyone knows that their groups are not as united as they appear on the surface.

The comrades at the police station were quite kind, and politely took notes for them. In the end, Ye Cheng and the others were detained for [-] days, and they were quickly transferred to the detention center.The environment in the detention center was not very good, but it wasn't too bad. A young couple, three middle-aged men and an old man came in with Ye Cheng, a total of seven people.

They all have families and relatives. After they came in, the family members brought over daily necessities. Although Ye Cheng was a bachelor, Mr. Zhong also came over and stuffed a few hundred dollars for him to stay inside with good food and drink. with.The detention center is not like a prison cell. Being locked up here is similar to outside except that you cannot get out. You can buy things if you have money, although there are fewer choices.

"Hey, brother, why did you come in?" A young boy came over to talk to Ye Cheng.

"Obstructing social order." Ye Cheng smiled. He really never thought that he would be caught in trouble one day.

"What's the matter, you guys?"

"I took to the streets to parade, but the application was not approved, and the people in the street office tried to dissuade me, but I didn't respond." There is no work here, and there is a lot of idleness all day long, and everyone just chats when they have nothing to do.

"That's much more handsome than me, hehe."

"How did you get in?" Ye Cheng followed his words and asked.

"Drunken driving, the people here are almost the same, as for the administrative detention, the most people are rescued."

"..."

Ye Cheng didn't care about being detained or something while the two of them were chatting together, as he just took it as an experience of life.

"Ye Cheng, someone is looking for you." Ye Cheng is under administrative detention rather than criminal detention, and visits are allowed, but Mr. Zhong has also been here, who else will come to see him now?Ye Ping and the others probably don't know about this, right?

"I don't even know, so you can make troubles like this, and you can get yourself into trouble." When Lu Mingyuan heard that Ye Cheng had committed a crime, he was also taken aback, and hurried along the way restlessly. Come here, I wanted to talk to you in a friendly manner, and then try to find a way to get him out, but when I opened my mouth, my tone was wrong again.

"What are you doing here? I'll be out in a few days." Ye Cheng also frowned, wasn't he just detained for a few days, as if he had committed a serious crime.

"Hmph, you can take it easy!" Lu Mingyuan was worried all the way, but he was dissatisfied with Ye Cheng's attitude.

After that, the two of them were a little silent. After being separated for more than ten years, they finally met again, but they never had a good conversation.As long as he thinks of Lanmu, Lu Mingyuan feels awkward in his heart. He obviously wants to get closer, but he can't help but say things that make them more distant.

"Go to grandpa's cemetery." Lu Mingyuan wasn't there when old man Wu left. Now that he's back, he should go and have a look. Then Ye Cheng told Lu Mingyuan the address of old man Wu's cemetery.

"En." Speaking of old man Wu, Lu Mingyuan also felt very disappointed.

"That house is under my name now. When he left, he told me to remember to give you half of it." Although the old man Wu said that Lu Mingyuan was not doing well, he would give him half of the house, but Ye Cheng knew that the old man really wanted to Leave something for Lu Mingyuan, no matter whether he is doing well or not.

"!" Lu Mingyuan's eyes widened suddenly, the dark pupils flickered, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile: "Then when will I add my name?"

"Let's talk about it after I go out." Ye Cheng turned his face to the side.

"Ye Cheng." Lu Mingyuan leaned his body in front of the table.

"Ok?"

"In a few days, you and I will go to grandpa's cemetery."

"Row."

"Tell you something." Lu Mingyuan was obviously in a good mood now.

"what's up?"

"Lu Zhennan is dying. He has had cancer for many years, and it has gotten worse in the past two years." Lu Mingyuan tried hard to control the curvature of the corners of his mouth, asking if his father should not be too happy when he was about to pass away. ?

"Cancer?" Ye Cheng was a little shocked. He thought that a strong man like Lu Zhennan would survive for a thousand years, but he didn't expect it so soon...

"Well, and, well, I'm going to be a father soon."

This time Ye Cheng didn't speak. He looked at Lu Mingyuan, as if he was asking why this person told him about it.

"It's a surrogate." Lu Mingyuan didn't dare to make such a joke with Ye Cheng. If this person gets angry, he can usually stay angry for a long time.

"Oh." Ye Cheng had no expression on his face, and after thinking about it, he added: "Congratulations."

"That, Ye Cheng..."

"what?"

"It's nothing, I mean, the demolition is the demolition, you don't want to make trouble anymore." Lu Mingyuan didn't want Ye Cheng to cause trouble anymore. Although he also wanted to keep their common house, he wanted Ye Cheng to be safe and sound. Yes, stay away from these right and wrong.

After Lu Mingyuan left, Ye Cheng's original calm was also disturbed. The other party's hint was obvious that Lu Zhennan was dying. Instead of marrying a woman, he chose a surrogate, which meant that he would find a man to live with.

Could it be me?Ye Cheng didn't know if he could keep some expectations in his heart. After all, they had been separated for so many years, and they were no longer as certain of each other's hearts as before. He was the one who let Lu Mingyuan go. When he left, did he also keep some expectations in his heart? With resentment, Ye Cheng had no way of knowing.

But, is it possible to just do nothing and watch others walk into Lu Mingyuan's life?No, Ye Cheng didn't want things to become like that.
