Chapter 41 Your village is going to be demolished!
An Jianping, who had been notified, surprisingly did not rush to come.
He had An Jianmin switch with An Songyu on the phone, and then said:
"Ayu, regardless of the reason you have, from today onwards, without definite news, our family will know nothing."
"So, it's just a village committee meeting, you can go and attend without worry!"
If their guess is correct, then today's notification will simply be sent to everyone.
Whether he goes or not, it won't make much difference.
Even if he really did rush there so hastily.
It's bad enough that everyone is already shocked by the news of demolition and relocation.
It wasn't until they realized what was happening, especially after discovering the enormous amount of compensation his family received for the demolition, that they understood.
There are probably all sorts of speculations.
By then, even if they don't have a source of information here, it will seem like they do!
An Songyu understood the meaning behind An Jianping's unfinished words.
She took a deep breath to calm herself down before listening carefully to her father's words.
The landline phone that An Songyu used in the Shuncheng Silk Weaving Factory was transferred to the finance office extension via the main switchboard.
There are many things that are not convenient to say clearly over the phone.
Fortunately, the father and daughter were on the same page and understood that today's village committee meeting was probably just a way to convey information, so there was no need to rush.
After An Songyu hung up the phone, An Jianmin, who had been listening nearby, quickly asked, "Songyu, what did your dad say?"
"Uncle, my dad said he doesn't need to come back, and that I can just go to the meeting." An Songyu honestly relayed An Jianping's decision.
An Jianmin was stunned for a moment.
But after realizing what he meant, he understood what his third brother meant.
Indeed, he is someone who has managed to establish himself in the city at such a young age.
He was more composed and thought more deeply than him.
With this in mind, An Jianmin tried his best to calm down.
He took two deep breaths before saying, "Alright then, this afternoon, it'll be just the two of us!"
After thinking it over, An Jianmin decided not to stay at home anymore.
After greeting An Songyu, the uncle and nephew simply left the house.
Today, he happened to be the only one at home.
Jiang Shanshan went to her sister's house with her family from the same village.
Jiang Shanshan's older sister married someone from a neighboring village.
In the past two years, unlike Jiangcun, I haven't taken advantage of my location to start a farm stay business.
However, it is not far from Rongdi.
Whether they go to the city to find a job or develop something else in their own hometown, they can live a good life.
But once life gets better, don't the troubles begin?
Today, Jiang Shanshan went with her family to witness the division of the family property with her older sister.
The uncle and nephew strolled around the village and overheard many people discussing the village meeting that afternoon.
Many people are speculating about the content of this conference.
Thinking back to the last time we gathered everyone together about contracting and dividing mulberry-fishpond systems.
Everyone felt that the village committee might not be willing to give up.
No one is actually speculating that it will lead to demolition.
That makes sense, as Jiangcun is surrounded by other villages on all sides.
It doesn't look like it could be easily demolished and relocated.
Thinking about it this way, the uncle and nephew felt a little more relaxed.
But at the same time, new troubles also arise!
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, An Jianmin couldn't help but whisper to his niece:
"Ayu, will they really announce the demolition news at the meeting this afternoon?"
An Songyu turned to look at An Jianmin, hesitated for a moment, but still did not nod directly.
According to her memory, the demolition of Jiangcun was indeed finalized before National Day in October.
It's already September 20th.
No matter how you look at it, this village meeting is most likely to announce this matter.
But An Songyu is currently staying in Jiangcun and has no other channels of communication.
If she answered with such certainty, it would be difficult to explain her source of information.
An Songyu's idea hadn't even settled down yet.
Suddenly, a young man rushed over from a distance.
When he saw An Jianmin from afar, he immediately waved and called out, "Uncle, Uncle."
"Hey, Hongcai, what brings you here? Isn't your family very busy today?" An Jianmin quickly went up to greet him after recognizing him.
Dong Hongcai stopped abruptly when he reached An Jianmin's face.
With his hands on his knees, still breathless, he wanted to speak:
"Uncle, listen to me..."
"Hongcai, what do you want to say? Don't rush, catch your breath first!" An Jianmin quickly comforted his nephew.
This child is usually so calm and collected, what's wrong with him today?
"Uncle, this matter... this matter can't be delayed!" Dong Hongcai was finally able to speak fluently.
He didn't give them time to react and said directly, "Uncle, do you know?"
"Your village is going to be demolished!"
"What?" An Jianmin and An Songyu both exclaimed in surprise.
Although they already had some suspicions in their hearts.
The two of them were even discussing it just now.
However, when they heard the news from other people, they were still greatly shocked.
“Really, Uncle!” Dong Hongcai nodded affirmatively: “Some women from our village married into the village next to yours, and they just went home to help move in.”
"The next village?" An Jianmin's joy seemed to be extinguished by cold water.
On the contrary, An Songyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She remembered very clearly that the logistics transfer center was built on the site of the remaining third of the village after Jiangcun and Lincun were demolished.
Dong Hongcai didn't notice anything unusual; he was still filled with excitement.
Waving his hands around, he gestured as he spoke:
"Yes, I heard from villagers in the next village that the demolition notice was delivered in person by government officials."
"Both of your villages have them! The village committees are required to cooperate!"
"But Uncle, why is your village so quiet?" Dong Hongcai asked, puzzled at the end.
He rushed over to inform his aunt's husband.
Even when getting off the bus at the village entrance, they didn't forget to glance at the neighboring village a couple more times.
But the liveliness over there is incomparable to the tranquility here.
"Because we haven't heard the news yet! But this afternoon, our village called a meeting," An Songyu quickly explained.
"Ah...no wonder!" Dong Hongcai nodded in understanding, then quickly urged:
"Uncle, let's call my aunt right away and tell her she doesn't need to rush back."
An Jianmin readily accepted the advice and led the two home, but couldn't help asking:
"Then why didn't you just call?"
"Of course they called, but no one's home." Dong Hongcai said helplessly, "And your uncle, is that brand-new phone you bought just to be stored away?"
"How is that possible?" An Jianmin said, while touching his body.
It wasn't in the pockets of my clothes, and it wasn't in the pockets of my pants either!
Wait, where's his phone?
Such a big new phone?
"Uncle, did you forget to bring it when we left home?" An Songyu quickly reminded him.
If she remembers correctly.
Just now, the two of them were only focused on going out of their house to gather information and observe the villagers' reactions.
It's as if they didn't bring anything out of the house at all!
Wait a minute, did her uncle forget to bring the keys?
An Jianmin suddenly realized, and he shook his head with a laugh: "It must have been charged last night, and I forgot to unplug it today!"
Come to think of it, An Jianmin is usually not this forgetful.
But my niece's guess today was truly astonishing.
When An Jianmin left home, he didn't take anything with him.
When the three returned home, they discovered that they hadn't even locked the door when they left.
An Songyu looked at the courtyard gate, which wasn't even fully closed.
For a moment, they couldn't bear to look at An Jianmin's expression.
Fortunately, before An Jianmin could react.
Dong Hongcai pushed open the courtyard door, continuing to describe what he had seen along the way.
After the three entered the house, An Jianmin asked the two to sit down for a while, and then quickly went to the bedroom to find his phone.
The phone number on the document not only includes that of his nephew, but also that of his wife, sister-in-law, brothers-in-law, and so on.
He quickly dialed his wife's number first.
The phone was answered before it had even rung three times.
After briefly explaining the situation, An Jianmin heard a lot of noise coming from the other side.
There were also some unpleasant comments.
An Jianmin pretended not to hear and continued communicating with his wife.
Hearing that not only Jiang Shanshan, but also everyone from the Jiang family who rushed to her sister's house, including her sister and her husband, were also on their way, An Jianmin felt somewhat helpless.
Their village hasn't announced any demolition plans yet!
You can't exactly bring your whole family and relatives to a meeting in the village, can you?
