weird

The demolition of Osmanthus Alley was not decided overnight. In fact, the government sent people to visit each house about two years ago, and the result at that time was half and half.

The government wanted to demolish it, and some people coveted the huge demolition fee, some took the opportunity to bond with people sent by the government, and some people missed the old days and were reluctant to move after living for too many years.

At that time, the final instructions from above had not yet come down, and the people in the government were mainly willing to investigate. This matter was settled after half a month. Now that the project has been stalled for so long, it has finally been dragged to the surface.

Osmanthus Alley is located in the outskirts of the city. This piece of land is old and remote, but it is a good place with convenient transportation. The government has made up its mind this time, and the documents have been approved by the local department. National Highway.

The policy above is basically mandatory, and no one can stop the people, and the temporary settlement of the demolished households has been determined early.This time, relatively half of the objections were raised, and some of them even packed up their things and prepared to move.

The few nail households who are unwilling to move have not been idle. Almost every day, a government employee visits the door. Although the progress of the Huairou policy has been slow, it is not ineffective. After a week, about four-fifths of the households agreed with the government. An agreement was signed.

The orphanage is one of the remaining one-fifth. Lin Ruoping has lived in Guihua Lane for nearly 30 years, and her reluctance is part of it. Another reason is that the government allocated her a place of residence for four people. There were only five of them, including her and Chu Chen, a total of seven people. Two bedrooms and one living room were a bit crowded, not to mention that the house was still a ten-storey high-rise, and the oldest of these children was only seven years old, which was too dangerous.

Chu Chen has always been silent about this matter, Zhuang Yan guessed in his heart that he should be reluctant, after all, where are the memories of so many years.But the orders from above have all come down, and their resistance is pointless to put it bluntly, and it will be a matter of time before they sign it.

These days Chu Chen's mood was visibly sluggish, and Zhuang Yan could only watch helplessly. The other party was already reticent, but now it became more and more serious, and even he began to feel lonely.

"I heard that there is a demolition fee for moving? Aunt Lin can use the money to find a new place to live. Just find a place similar to the one in Osmanthus Lane. It doesn't matter at all." Zhuang Yan comforted in vain.

After he finished speaking, he regretted it immediately. As an outsider, he is really not qualified to make suggestions on this matter.For Chu Chen and Lin Ruoping, Osmanthus Lane was their home and destination for more than ten or twenty years. How could he say such words lightly.

Zhuang Yan thought wildly for a long time, and couldn't help patting his mouth.

"What are you doing?" Chu Chen shifted his questioning eyes to him.

"I'm sorry." Zhuang Yan admitted his mistake in a second, "What I said just now was so stupid, you can pretend you didn't hear it."

Chu Chen tilted his head, and looked at him in a daze.

Solemnly looked away, "You should be reluctant to move away, right?"

He said this carefully, but Chu Chen said indifferently: "Where do you see that I don't want to give up? Actually, I don't care where I live. Osmanthus Lane has been around for many years, and this day will come sooner or later."

He has been living on campus since junior high school. He was small when he was in elementary school, and he was adopted for half a year later. In this way, he has never lived in Osmanthus Alley for a long time. The longest stay there was probably in the first year of senior high school. Years, when Lin Ruoping was hospitalized.

Besides, he's not that hypocritical.He grew up so big that he was taken away twice and sent back again. He has been floating around all the time. He has never felt a sense of belonging to any place, and he has long since lost his expectation of where he lives.

Zhuang Yan was taken aback by his indifferent attitude, and after recovering, he involuntarily gave Chu Chen a thumbs up, "Your mentality is really awesome, but let's go, I accompanied Aunt Lin to see the place you are going to move to that day. , the floor is too high and inconvenient. Otherwise, I’ll go to my dad. He’s quite generous. I’ll ask him to arrange a place for you to live in? If not, I can live there. My sister and I are the only two people in my house. You can have more fun when you come."

Zhuang Yan said it easily, with a trace of innocent innocence. Chu Chen didn't respond to him directly, but slightly raised the corners of his lips, raised his hand to press on his head, and rumpled his hair.

……

As expected, within two days after this conversation, Lin Ruoping compromised and signed her name and fingerprint on the relocation agreement.However, she did not accept the temporary accommodation arranged by the government, and she only took tens of thousands of extra yuan in demolition fees in private.

The official start of the demolition team is in June, and the demolition fee will be paid at the same time.

Before that, they still had more than a month to find a new residence. They thought that the matter would be settled, but they never thought that something would happen when it came to the end.

The temperature in late April tends to rise gradually, and the clouds are starting to thin these days. As soon as the morning dew disappears, the sun hangs unceremoniously high in the sky.

Just after ten o'clock that day, just after breakfast in the streets and alleys, there was a sudden noise at the entrance of the alley.

There were three or four circles of people inside and outside the intersection, both old and young. Everyone was sweating under the sun. Their complexions were extremely bad. The tall man standing in the middle was especially ferocious, chatting with the people around him from time to time.

The man at the head looked about 50 to [-] years old, relying on his tall and strong stature, he squeezed into the crowd of screaming people and yelled nonsense: "I warn you, Lin Ruoping, if I am not satisfied with the money from the government, you will never take it away." one cent!"

As they talked, they kept criticizing the red-faced woman opposite the man, with aggressive words and arrogant tone.

Faced with the unreasonable accusations from everyone, Lin Ruoping was speechless. She rejected the government's house, and got tens of thousands of extra money by relying on the special treatment of the orphanage and five children. Outsiders shouldn't know about this, but For some reason, the news leaked out. This morning, this wave of people suddenly rushed into the house, scolding her for not cooperating with the government's work, and scolding her for being selfish. Later, more people participated in the scolding war, and the focus was off.

Some people began to call the government to make trouble, saying that they would not move, and they wanted the government to promise that after the demolition funds arrived, they would allocate an additional tens of thousands of yuan for resettlement expenses.

Most of the people in Osmanthus Alley are illiterate peasants who are used to vulgarity, and when they really get into trouble, whether you are the national government or not, the laws and regulations are all bullshit!

Of course the other side is not happy. Originally, you have signed the agreement, and the house is almost arranged. If you can’t say it, you can’t. Isn’t it just adding to the workload for others? There was a quarrel.

There must be others like Lin Ruoping who don't live in housing and take more money, but she was exposed. The so-called shooting the first bird, the person who took the lead in making troubles could not get any benefits from the government, so the anger naturally began to burn on Lin Ruoping.

"You can't behave like this. Tell me, your yard usually receives less help from the community, right? The benefits of festivals and festivals are not less, right? You don't want to live in the house that is allocated to you, and you have to take more in private. Qian, you are still silent, everyone is kept in the dark by you, what a shame!"

"You see how sick she is, I'm afraid you can't tell."

"I'm afraid of her?"

"..."

Once something has something to do with money, no matter how good-tempered a person is, he can break it up.

Lin Ruoping is gentle by nature, and has been honest for most of her life. At this time, Chu Chen is at school again, and there is no help around her. Xia Tian is screaming outside, but it is small at this time, no one takes it seriously, she is alone, not this gang challenger's opponent.

Her hair was squeezed to the point that it would not be scattered, and her rebuttal was completely suppressed by the insulting words of these people, and she could hardly hear it.

The crowd was so stuffy that it made people panic, and all the voices in her ears were like a sharp knife. She was breathing more and more quickly, and couldn't help coughing, but this group of people had no intention of stopping at all, there was no way , she had no choice but to try to push the person away, and this push made things worse.

"Hey, you still dare to push me?!" Someone yelled.

Then there were back and forth pushing each other, Lin Ruoping couldn't bear it any longer, her cough became worse and worse, when she bent down and squatted down, a mouthful of bright red blood suddenly spit out from her mouth.

The crowd panicked immediately, and there were screams of horror immediately. She was tottering in the midst of it, and she lost consciousness after a while.

……

Chu Chen rushed to the hospital non-stop after receiving the call from the street office. Zhuang Yan didn't understand what was going on, so he ran after seeing him running. Zhou Dize wrote the leave note for them.

After two o'clock in the afternoon, just after the meal time, people came and went in the lobby on the first floor of the Municipal People's Hospital, and the air was filled with various mixed smells of disinfectant, food, and medicine.

Lin Ruoping slept on a single bed outside the corridor on the sixth floor of the inpatient department. There were about a dozen patients and their accompanying family members lying in the entire corridor, and nurses and doctors hurriedly came and went.

As soon as they arrived, a nurse came over, "Who is Lin Ruoping's family?"

Zhuang Yan and Chu Chen looked at each other, and the latter nodded at the female nurse.

The female nurse looked at him, "Why is he a student, what about the adults at home?"

"I am." Chu Chen said firmly.

"Okay." The female nurse looked at him suspiciously again, then flipped through the medical records, "Then come with me."

"Is there any problem?" Zhuang Yan glanced at the pale Lin Ruoping.

The female nurse smiled, "Go to the first floor to pay the fee."

Chu Chen frowned imperceptibly when he heard the words.

Zhuang Yan immediately patted him, and said with a smile: "Hey, otherwise I'll go, you see, I don't know how to take care of others, and I don't know what to do when Aunt Lin wakes up."

Having no money is embarrassing, but reality often fails to take care of human face.The fist hanging between the seams of his trousers tightened and tightened, and finally Chu Chen nodded.

He was panicked and stood in front of the hospital bed until his legs were sore and numb. Lin Ruoping did not wake up from the beginning to the end. About half an hour later, Zhuang Yan came back with several nurses pushing the transfer bed.

Seeing a few nurses start to move people without saying much, Chu Chen finally regained his senses, and turned to look at Zhuang Yan suspiciously.

"I changed Aunt Lin's ward." Zhuang Yan blinked, afraid that Chu Chen would blame him for making his own decisions, and hurriedly said, "I can't let Aunt Lin sleep in the corridor all the time, it's too noisy outside."

"You don't need it." Chu Chen rubbed his eyebrows, "It's too expensive."

This is a city hospital, and the medical expenses alone are enough, and the hospitalization fee is by no means a small sum. How can he afford so much money now.But it would be absolutely unacceptable for him to spend solemn money with peace of mind.

"I am willing." Zhuang Yan looked directly at him, "Don't worry about it, the doctor just said that he has something to do with his family members, and it is on the fifth floor. You should go and see."

Chu Chen hesitated for a moment, but the nurse at the side didn't care about the matter between the two of them, and only urged to leave.

Lin Ruoping's complexion was extremely bad, and she kept coughing even in her sleep. There was a long gully between her brows, and the corner of her mouth was faintly soaked with blood that hadn't been wiped off.

Chu Chen gradually calmed down, leaned over and hugged Zhuang Yan into his arms and patted gently, "Thank you."
