Reckless Youth of Delinquency - Text Chapter 880, House to be demolished
It was getting late at this time, and everyone had had enough fun, so they fell asleep one after another. This was the first time I slept in the same bed as Brick, and I was awakened in the middle of the night by his loud snoring and teeth grinding. I was shocked and wondered how the roommate who slept with him tolerated this guy surviving. I kicked his feet to let him calm down temporarily, and I took this opportunity to sleep quickly. But not long after, his voice rang again, and I kicked him again. I spent the whole night half asleep.
The next morning, Brick got up early. Exercise every morning was a required course for him. After Brick left, I was finally able to sleep soundly and enjoy this sunny morning. Not long after I fell asleep, I was woken up again. When I opened my eyes, I saw Xia Xue, Tao Zi, and Bai Qing gathered around the bed, pointing at me and laughing “giggling”. I didn’t know why they were laughing, so I could only look at them in confusion. Tao Zi was still kind to me and showed me a mirror. Only then did I realize that there was a mouse painted on my face. Brick is too boring to be able to do this. But seeing them happy made me laugh too.
At this moment, Xia Xue’s mother passed by the door and said with a straight face: “What are you doing? He hasn’t gotten up yet. You should respect yourselves!”
Xia Xue and the others were so frightened that they ran out quickly. My heart was pounding and I quickly put on my clothes. After going out, Xia Xue’s mother had already gone downstairs. Xia Xue and the others were still laughing at the door. I stood in the corridor, breathing the fresh air, and thousands of golden lights shone across the world. Brick also came back from outside, his naked upper body soaked with sweat, and a towel hanging around his neck. We were standing on the second floor and had a fairly wide view, at least we could see the surrounding area. Then I discovered that the surrounding area was much emptier than the last time I came here. Many places were covered with ruins, and many forklifts were rumbling in and out.
“what’s up?”
“Demolition.” Xia Xue said: “This area is close to the city center and should have been demolished a long time ago. Recently, conditions have been gradually negotiated and construction has started. In the future, large and high-rise buildings will be built here, and every household will have one.” Not bad compensation.”
Only then did I remember that when I came here with Ye Zhan last time, every house had the word “demolished” on the wall, so I joked: “Your family is so big, you must be able to get good compensation, right? Little rich woman , please support me!”
Unexpectedly, when talking about this, Xia Xue’s eyes dimmed and she said softly: “This courtyard is my grandfather’s hard work. He spent a lot of effort to build it back then, and it is something he has been proud of all his life. Things. Now that he is older, this is his final destination. Although it is outdated and dilapidated, he is unwilling to demolish it no matter what, no matter how much money is given!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the side room below suddenly opened, and an old man with gray hair slowly walked out on crutches. The skin on his face was like a dried rock wall. It was obvious that he was very, very old. Xia Xue shouted: “Grandpa!”
The old man raised his head, looked carefully, and finally recognized Xia Xue, his wrinkled face stretched into a smile.
“When did you come?”
“Last night.” Xia Xue said as she walked downstairs, and the rest of us quickly followed behind.
He went downstairs and came to Grandpa Xia Xue. Seeing this old man, I couldn’t help but feel awe, maybe because of his temperament. I concluded that this old man must be a cultural master who is knowledgeable about the past and the present. Xia Xue introduced us to his grandfather one by one. When she introduced me, she held my arm with pride and said with a smile: “Grandpa, this is my boyfriend Wang Hao!”
Grandpa Xia Xue looked at me, smiled again, nodded and said, “Okay, you are such a talented person, when will we get married?”
Xia Xue blushed and said, “Why are you so anxious? I haven’t graduated from college yet.”
Grandpa Xia Xue chatted with us for a few words, then staggered towards another room. Through the window, I vaguely saw that there were several large bookcases inside, which were naturally filled with all kinds of books, which confirmed my previous guess. However, I didn’t expect that Grandpa Xia Xue would still maintain the same bookcase even at such an old age. My daily reading habit really makes me feel ashamed.
Continue the topic just now. I asked: “Your grandpa doesn’t agree to the demolition, but what about the others?”
Xia Xue said: “Our whole family is dominated by my grandfather. As long as he doesn’t want to, we will follow suit. Therefore, my family has not signed a contract until now, but other people around me have signed one after another. As a result, my house has become a thorn in the side, and some unexplained people come to harass me in the middle of the night, throwing rocks, pretending to be ghosts, and so on.”
I was furious when I heard this, and said angrily: “Is there such a thing?! Leave it to me and Brick, we can’t kill them!”
Brick was still washing, and when he heard this, he jumped out immediately, his hair was still wet, and he also shouted: “Kill who, kill who?!”
Xia Xue chuckled and said, “No need, that was in the past. Ever since I raised those two wolf dogs, no one has dared to come and harass me. After all, this is a society ruled by law, and they don’t dare to be too arrogant. The house It belongs to our family and we won’t demolish it if we don’t want to!”
I looked back at the dog cage in the corner. The two black beetles seemed to have regarded us as their own, so they didn’t scream anymore. It turned out that this was the purpose of Xia Xue’s grandma’s family raising dogs. When I look at this antique blue brick courtyard, I just feel that it is as beautiful as a fairyland. If I were the owner of this courtyard, I would be reluctant to have it demolished.
After all, I have also been involved in gangs, and I know that the real estate business is often done by black and white collusion, and when the underworld does certain things, it will not care about your rule of law, and the methods used can be as despicable as possible. So I said: “If you are determined not to dismantle it, then ask your family to be careful. If anything happens, call me immediately. Don’t fight with those people.”
Seeing the seriousness of what I said, Xia Xue nodded to show that she understood. After dinner, we discussed where to go. After thinking about it, there was no fun place, so everyone decided to go back to the house and play cards. There are five people in total, what if there is one more? Simple, just kick Brick out. This proposal was agreed by everyone, because playing cards with him is so sad!
Brick’s objections and strong objections were ineffective, and we finally kicked him out. Brick said angrily that he wanted to go and play with his master, Iron Block. After Brick left, we started playing cards. This time we didn’t play Ermao, we played upgrading. This kind of game emphasizes coordination and lasts a long time. Tao Zi and I faced each other, while Xia Xue and Bai Qing faced each other. We just fought like this all morning. Brick didn’t come back at noon. After calling him, he said he would eat at Ye’s house, so we ignored him. In the afternoon, I wanted to play cards, but they stopped playing and said they had to do homework. Yes, there are homework assignments in college, although I never write them.
So they were studying and I was sleeping, and they didn’t care about me, knowing that my mind was not on it. I stayed at Xia Xue’s house like this for two days, and no one came to harass me. By Sunday night, Brick also came back. After spending the last night, we returned to school together the next morning. The first thing I did when I got to school was to ask Li Na for my MP3!
It’s not that I’m stingy, it’s that I’m unhappy with Li Na! If it were Yu Qiang and the others, they could borrow it for as long as they wanted, or not pay it back. But Li Na can’t do it. Borrowing it for one more day makes me feel uncomfortable. Yu Qiang was still sitting with Li Na, so I wrote a note, of course to Yu Qiang, asking him to help me ask Li Na if she had brought my MP3 player. After a while, Yu Qiang replied to the note and said he would bring it over in the afternoon. Hey, this made me depressed again. After lunch and returning to the dormitory, I asked Yu Qiang: “What happened to Li Na? Did she not plan to give it to me?” Yu Qiang said: “How can I? How much should I give her for something that costs more than 800 yuan?” You don’t even have the courage to do so. Don’t worry, I’m here and I will definitely help you get it back.”
In the afternoon, Yu Qiang and I came to the classroom and waited for Li Na together. Li Na came, put the MP3 directly into my hand, muttered: “Stingy.” Then she returned to her seat very proudly. Your mother, I almost exploded, but later I thought it was not worth it. I was angry for her, and I thought the price was too low. Yu Qiang patted my shoulder and said with a smile, “Is this okay?”
I nodded and returned to my seat without saying much. Yu Qiang also returned to sit next to Li Na. Although the seats in the university are all randomly occupied, if you sit in one seat for a long time, no one will come to compete with you. I still sat with Zheng Fei and Roudan. These two are really good friends and are basically tied together. I plugged in my headphones and turned on the phone skillfully.
Power on. Power on. Power on. Power on. I turned it on several times, but MP3 showed no response at all. I thought it was because the battery was out, and I thought it was normal for Li Na to hear that the battery was out after listening to it for so long. I thought about it and decided to go back and get the charger, because there was still some time before class started, and being late in college is not a big deal, as long as you don’t miss roll call. Without MP3, I would have been bored this afternoon. When I returned to the dormitory, I took the charger and returned to the classroom. The class had not started yet. I found a charging corner and sat down. After connecting the charger to the MP3, I found that the screen was still dark.
At this time, I finally couldn’t help it anymore. The MP3 was obviously broken. No wonder Li Na refused to give it to me for so long! I didn’t care whether the price was reduced or not. I unplugged the charger, took the MP3 and came to Li Na’s desk. Yu Qiang and Li Na were chatting happily, but they were shocked when they saw me appearing. Yu Qiang asked me: “Mouse, what’s going on?”
I ignored Yu Qiang, put the MP3 player on the table, looked at Li Na and asked, “Can you explain it?”
