Chapter 52 Not enough spots for the top ten?
When An Songyu and his group finally got home.
The demolition office staff had already ordered their food.
Accompanying them were three people responsible for the neighboring Lin Village.
While waiting for the food to be served, the director of the demolition office in charge of Lin Village spoke first:
"Old Wang, what's the situation on your end?"
As he spoke, he made a slight gesture to the surveying team beside him.
Director Wang carefully rinsed the chopsticks, dried them, and arranged them neatly.
He then asked slowly, "What's going on?"
"What do you think?" Director Su rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Is this kid trying to fool him?
Thinking about the progress of the demolition in Lin Village these past two days gave him a terrible headache.
When the leader assigned work to the two of them.
They said he had already been in charge of Lin Village and was familiar with it, so they assigned him the position directly.
He didn't think much of it at the time, but little did he know...
"Didn't you announce that the first ten people who registered for the prize had won one?" Director Wang asked, somewhat puzzled by his expression.
"Of course there is!" Director Su shrugged helplessly.
The other two people in his group next to him also looked rather unwell.
One of them let out a long, helpless sigh before explaining:
“The villagers of Lin Village understand this policy better than we do.”
"We didn't even need to announce it; people just asked us directly."
"At the time, we were actually happy."
"But later..."
Thinking of the conditions that the people from Lin Village had offered them, the three of them couldn't help but feel a headache coming on again.
Feeling extremely irritated, he picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
But they found that the hot water could not quell the fire in their hearts.
They quickly called the waiter to bring over a large bottle of iced cola.
Director Wang twitched his lips helplessly, but still did not stop the three of them.
Only after the three of them had each downed a whole glass of iced cola did he leisurely say, "Jiangcun, well, there has been some progress."
"To say there's been no progress..." Thinking about how they'd spent half the day sitting on the sidelines, Director Wang couldn't help but sigh.
Then he concluded, "Indeed, there hasn't been much progress."
Director Su was completely confused.
He subconsciously glanced at the two people who had gone to Jiangcun with Director Wang.
Being stared at like that by one of the leaders.
Even though they are not a team now.
Neither of them dared to remain silent.
So, they gave a brief explanation of the current situation:
“At the beginning of this year, a family from Jiangcun came back to the village to contract mulberry-dike farmland and develop silkworm and fish farming.”
"Incidentally, they also contracted several hundred acres of orchards."
"His three other brothers were also involved in the contract."
"I heard that it's because their youngest brother got a stall in the newly built fruit wholesale market in Liangdi this year, which makes it convenient for his brothers to ship their fruit from their orchards."
"Over the course of this year, the brothers should have made a considerable profit."
"So not long ago, not only their family and their brother's family, but even the two married sisters returned to the village to continue contracting some orchards."
"Isn't the village suddenly going to be demolished?"
"Some people are not happy about the sisters returning to their parents' home to contract an orchard."
"So when we announced that the first ten people to register and sign the compensation agreement would receive a reward of 10,000 yuan, their whole family immediately divided it up."
"It's not even enough for their whole family to share!"
"In addition, the village committee and several other organizations also provided support immediately."
"So, although the demolition work in Jiangcun is not progressing particularly fast, it has made significant progress."
"Even the top ten spots aren't enough for them?" Director Su and the others were extremely surprised.
"The family that came back from the city to develop their careers, I heard, was motivated by the fact that they couldn't afford the wedding house for their eldest son's wedding."
"His family has three children. His second child just graduated from university this year and has a boyfriend."
“Xi Mei is a vocational school graduate and has been working for more than a year, almost two years.”
"So when they moved back to the village, they simply divided the family among the children."
"Judging from their appearance, they're probably planning to give Jiangcun's assets directly to them!"
Director Su nodded in agreement, but he still felt something was off.
He couldn't help but glance at Director Wang beside him.
Director Wang shook his head almost imperceptibly.
The reason why these people knew so much about An Songyu's family was because...
It was indeed quite a coincidence that they returned to the village at that time.
But after hearing about these circumstances from the village committee, I realized they were overthinking it.
After all, An Songlin's wedding in May was already arranged last year.
Although Anjia had not yet announced it to the village at that time.
But whether it was Grandpa An, Grandma An, or the other uncles and aunts, they were all making preparations for this matter.
As for not having enough money to buy a house...
Jiangcun is known to many people.
Even the brigade leader has tried to persuade them on the phone more than once!
As for what happened later, it was indeed a bit too coincidental.
The houses they built were all constructed in a way that was most advantageous for them during the demolition process.
But this matter is not inexplicable.
The number of visitors to Jiangcun this summer.
The fact that there are still elderly people living in Jiangcun today makes it impossible for them to think of anything else.
Director Su temporarily set aside his doubts and said with a hint of envy:
"You guys are really lucky."
"So-so!" Director Wang accepted the praise without hesitation.
At the same time, he asked the surveying team next to him, "Are we continuing to measure the houses this afternoon?"
"No need!" The surveying team shook their heads immediately.
"According to regulations, we are required to measure orchards, mulberry-fish ponds, and the like first."
"This will be the second wave of compensation for the village."
"A second wave? How is the order of compensation arranged this time?"
"Our initial compensation will be the cost per person, plus resettlement fees."
"Then comes commercial premises, cash crops, and then housing, farmland, etc."
"There's no designated temporary resettlement area in Jiangcun?" Director Su asked, somewhat surprised.
Director Wang shook his head slightly:
“Jiangcun is a rather special case. The entire village has only 29 households, but they have three different surnames.”
"Among them, the Zhu family is the only one, while the Jiang family, which has the largest number of people, has only nine households."
"The An surname, which accounts for less than a quarter of the total population, makes up a full nineteen households in the village."
"Therefore, families with two different surnames present two completely different extreme situations."
"It's not uncommon for many families with the surname Jiang to have four generations living under one roof."
"As for the An family, several households are headed by independent heads of households."
"The most outrageous one is someone who just reached the age to apply for an ID card!"
"Therefore, the allocation of these resettlement houses has become a major problem!"
The three of them, including Director Su, couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement as they listened.
Logically speaking, they really don't need to consider this kind of thing.
But think carefully about the situation in Jiangcun.
Let's allocate temporary housing on a household-by-household basis!
Even the largest area is not enough for families with many members.
If we don't allocate by household, what other allocation method would be suitable?
"Doesn't that mean Jiangcun will receive its first compensation payment soon?" After doing this calculation, Director Su wasn't so nervous anymore.
After all, the demolition of the two villages follows the same plan.
If they are too backward on this side...
Even if Lin Village now has more households than Jiang Village, it won't look good for their group!
Director Wang smiled but didn't say anything.
After all, you have to sign a demolition agreement before you can get compensation!
