Chapter 7 Old House Demolition

The train pulled the flute and drove slowly into the Pengcheng platform with a shocking roar. As soon as he walked out of the door, a cold snowflake fell on Zhuang Rui's neck. The piercing north wind made Zhuang Rui wrap his clothes tightly and walked out of the station with his luggage and his mother.

Pengcheng Railway Station is a relatively large transit station in the country. It goes south to Shanghai, north to the capital, west to Xi'an, and almost has to transfer from here. Although it is already past 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, there are still many people waiting for the arrival of the train in the parking lot of the wide station square. There are still more than ten days before the Spring Festival. Although the cold wind is piercing, it is about to return home to meet relatives, which makes people's faces full of happy smiles.

Zhuang Rui's family has two properties in this ancient city. One is the old house of the family, located at the foot of Yunlong Mountain with beautiful scenery. It is the ancestral house of the family. It was once requisitioned during the ten years of turmoil and returned it later. However, Zhuang Rui only spent his childhood there. When he was about ten years I live in a place.

The other residence was allocated by my mother's previous school. A few years ago, the country implemented real estate reform. The originally allocated house had to be converted into cash according to the length of service. This house is next to Zhuang's mother's previous school. The area is not large. The two bedrooms and one living room are only 72 square meters, but the It is also equipped with heating, and it is very convenient for shopping and travel. Zhuang Rui lived here until he graduated from high school. Last year, he spent more than 30,000 yuan to buy it. A few days ago, when Zhuang Rui heard his mother talk about it, he knew that he had got the property certificate last month.

Zhuang Rui stopped a taxi and came home at the starting price. After going up to the second floor, when he saw that the lights at home were on, he knew that his sister Zhuang Min lived here today. He opened the door, and the heat in the room came to his face. A two- or three-year-old girl was hiding behind her sister, secretly looking

"This girl shouted for a day to see her uncle, and she didn't go to bed so late. Now her uncle comes and recognizes her life. Girl, hurry up and call her uncle..." Zhuang Min said with a smile.

Looking at the two bowls of steaming noodles on the table with a poached egg spread on it, a warm current suddenly rose in Zhuang Rui's heart. This is his home. He has been living and working in Zhonghai for more than a year. When he was sick, he huddled in the rental house and no one cares about it. When Zhuang Rui couldn't help but shed tears. At this moment, he had an impulse to quit his job in Shanghai and return here.

"Mom, my uncle cried, and my uncle is not crying now. My uncle is not ashamed..." The childish voice sounded, but it made everyone in the room laugh.

Zhuang Rui raised the girl high, which scared the little girl to scream. As soon as she put it down, she hid in her grandmother's arms and no longer dared to get close to her uncle. It was not until Zhuang Rui took out the white rabbit milk candy of Zhonghai specialty after dinner that the little girl and her uncle became intimate.

After dinner, it was already past 12 o'clock at night. Zhuang Rui washed and returned to his room. Just like a year ago, there was no change. He lay ** and looked at the familiar room. After a long time, Zhuang Rui fell asleep.

The next day, Zhuang Rui took his nephew to the park for a day. He sat on all the seaplane and the merry-go-round, and immediately upgraded himself to the closest person in the little nephew's heart.

Today is Friday. In the evening, my brother-in-law also came home after work and brought a lot of New Year's goods. Only then did Zhuang Rui remember to buy New Year's goods, but now he usually goes to the supermarket for New Year's shopping, which is also convenient.

"Bro-in-law, how is the efficiency of your factory now?"

After dinner, the family sat on the sofa and watched the TV and chatted. The little one crawled around on the crowd. After being stared at by Zhuang Min, she hid in Zhuang Rui's arms.

"It's the same as usual, there is no good news after the restructuring. The salary is 1,000 yuan a month, and I can't starve to death. I just let your sister suffer with me..."

Zhuang Rui's brother-in-law, Zhao Guodong, is a kind person. He works in a subordinate enterprise of the railway. Although he has excellent car repair technology, in state-owned enterprises, he can't slip away, so he can only get a dead salary. These days, those who have the ability, money or related to go to the sea to It was particularly prominent at the beginning of the century.

"Say nonsense again, and I'm not afraid to let my brother laugh," Zhuang Min interrupted her husband's words, and Zhao Guodong smiled and stopped talking. Looking at this, Zhuang Min is good at her husband.

"Yes, Mom, last time I heard you say, is Aunt Xie's house next door going to be sold? Let's buy it. It's not bad to keep it for my sister or rent it out..."

Zhuang Rui suddenly remembered the topic he talked about when chatting with his mother a few days ago. He knew that house prices soared in the past two years. Last year, the house price was still more than 3,000 yuan per square meter. This year has approached the 6,000 mark. I heard that it will rise after the Spring Festival. Although Pengcheng is located in northern Jiangsu, If you buy a few houses now, it will definitely keep its value.

Zhuang Rui wants to buy this house for his sister. His brother-in-law has many brothers, and the house is very crowded. The little sister is very good to Zhuang Rui. He wants to buy it and let his sister's family move here, and Zhuang's mother is also old, and it will be much more convenient for his sister to live and take care

"It cost more than 30,000 yuan to buy this house, and I have tossed up all my savings. How can I have money to buy a house? Let's talk about it after you get married. When the time, I will sell the house and change some more money for a bigger one."

Although Zhuang's mother is old, she is not conservative. After retirement, she danced with a group of old ladies in the square next to her home when she had nothing to do, and the information was also well-informed. The last time she talked about this topic, Zhuang Rui proposed to buy the house. She was also a little moved. The house next door My colleague still has real estate in other places, so she wants to sell this house. The house type is the same as her own. The price is only 10,000 yuan more than her house price, and it is appropriate to buy it.

"I have 100,000 yuan, Mom, you can ask tomorrow. If it's appropriate, we can buy it. Anyway, the money is also for nothing. If you buy the house, it will be given to my sister. When I give my daughter's dowry, haha..." Zhuang Rui encouraged.

"Ouncle, what is the dowry?" The little guy bit his finger and lay in Zhuang Rui's arms and asked puzzledly.

"Such a big man, there is still no correct speech. The money can't be moved. That's what you got in exchange for your life and left it for your daughter-in-law..." Zhuang Min took his daughter over and refused.

"You don't want that house, but you have to buy it. Just take it as an investment. Sister, you don't have to worry about it. I'll discuss it with my mother..."

When Zhuang Rui was in Zhonghai, he made up his mind to leave the 100,000 yuan to his family. He saved more than 20,000 yuan in his salary last year. Even if he returned to Shanghai after the Spring Festival, it would be enough to rent a better house. After all, after becoming the manager of the pawnshop, the salary and welfare benefits will be higher than A lot.

"I think it's time to buy it. Guodong is not much different from me and my own son, and it's okay to give you a house. Besides, Xiaomin, you didn't have much dowry when you got married, so I think of it as a make-up dowry for you."

After thinking about it for a while, Zhuang's mother made up her mind. Over the years, Zhuang Rui has been studying and working in other places. The son-in-law is working hard for everything in the family. Naturally, she will not object when she sees that her son has a heart.

"Okay, there's no need to say any more. By the way, Guodong, you can go to the old house with Xiao Rui tomorrow. It's about to be demolished. At that time, we won't have another house. I have to take some things back. I've packed them up. You can rent a car and pull it back

Seeing that her son-in-law seemed to refuse, Zhuang's mother changed the topic.

"The old house is going to be demolished?"

It was the first time for Zhuang Rui to hear his mother talk about this. For a moment, he seemed to have overturned the five-flavor bottle in his heart, and the joys and sorrows surged into his heart.
