Xiaobao blinked his eyes and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Big brother, what does demolition mean?"
"Let me explain," Lu Ziyi chuckled. "Xiaobao, this is actually very easy to understand. The general idea is to demolish the old houses here and move everyone to live somewhere else."
Xiaobao tilted his head and thought about it, and for a moment he was even more confused: "But we live well, why do you want to tear down our house?"
Lu Ziyi raised his hand and touched his head, and continued to explain to him patiently: "The houses here are very old. It can be said that this is the area with the longest history in Ningyang City."
"Xiaobao, you should be able to see it, right? Except for our house and Grandpa Li's, almost every house in this area is a bit dilapidated. In a few years, it may be difficult to live in it."
"Yeah, that's true," Xiaobao nodded in agreement. "Compared to that, our house and Grandpa Li's are relatively good. Even Brother Feng added some new bricks and tiles before moving in."
"That's right," Lu Ziyi said, "So, for such an old house, demolition is a matter of time. And generally speaking, when the demolition unit issues a notice of demolition, it basically means that the city has new plans and they are probably going to occupy this land, right, brother?"
Lu Zixiao hummed, "I heard that a larger shopping mall will be built here in the future, covering a large area."
"After the demolition, where will the people here live?" Xiaobao looked at him eagerly. "What about Grandpa Li and Grandma Li?"
He may not care about the other neighbors, but he still cares very much about Grandpa Li and Grandma Li.
"It's okay, Xiaobao." Li Mingyang squeezed his hand under the table. "We also received a notice saying that we will be given houses after the demolition, so we won't be left without a place to live."
"Where did we get our share?" Xiao Bao was filled with curiosity. "Will we get a house too? Then can we still be neighbors with Grandpa Li and the others?"
The little guy's head is full of question marks now. His big eyes are shining. He holds his chin with both hands and looks left and right, looking forward to his brothers' answers.
"Have you heard of Jinxiu Huafu?" Lu Zixiao smiled and pursed his lips. "It's a residential complex that was completed at the beginning of this year."
Lu Jiaming was the first to react, his eyes lighting up. "I know! It's that special-looking residential complex where every building is six stories high, and yet it looks different at first glance. It feels beautiful and luxurious."
"Yes, that's it," Lu Zixiao said, "If nothing unexpected happens, everyone here should move to Jinxiu Huafu."
"Holy crap... this is incredible," Lu Yuxuan couldn't help but sigh. "I've heard of demolitions, but I remember they usually don't get any really good houses. Some don't even get houses, they just give money. How come we're even given a high-end residential complex?"
"Of course not, normally." Lu Zixiao hesitated, then told the truth. "Jinxiu Huafu was mainly invested and built by the Gu Group, and we have had close contact with the Gu family over the years. Wanyi Group also has a lot of business dealings with the Gu family."
"So when I heard about the demolition, I discussed it with Gu Xi, the president of Gu Group, and he agreed to vacate some of the houses for our people to move in."
"This..." Lu Ziyi frowned slightly, "Mr. Gu agreed so easily? Big brother, tell me the truth, did you give a lot of money?"
"That's not true," Lu Zixiao smiled. "Boss Gu is a man of great righteousness. Wanyi and I have also discussed and decided to change the profit split of our long-term cooperation project from 50-50 to 40-60. Although the Gu Group doesn't need this little money, it represents our thoughts and is also a small reward."
Lu Jiaming snorted softly and muttered, "Those neighbors are really lucky to have us, otherwise they might never have been able to live in such a nice house in their lifetime."
"It's mainly for Grandpa and Grandma Li's consideration," Lu Zixiao said. "They're old, and housing prices are so high right now. If they get a less-than-perfect house, will they have to buy another one?"
"Yeah, big brother is right," Lu Ziyi agreed, "It's not about the amount of money. That would be too much trouble."
Li Mingyang stood up, faced Lu Zixiao, and bowed to him sincerely: "Brother Zixiao, I thank you on behalf of my grandparents. This really saved us a lot of trouble. Thank you very much."
"We're all family, what's there to thank me for?" Lu Zixiao waved his hand. "Mingyang, I'm your substitute guardian, which means I'm also your eldest brother. Grandpa Li and Grandma Li are my biological grandparents. It's my duty to work for my family."
"Wait!" Lu Yuxuan suddenly shouted, "I have another question!"
"You ask"
"Since we've all been allocated houses, why did you buy a villa, brother? Do you have too much money and nowhere to spend it?"
Lu Jiaming tutted his words and slapped Lu Zixiao in the face before he could say anything. "Are you stupid? No matter how good the house we're allocated is, it's just an ordinary apartment. The largest one has three bedrooms and a living room. How are we going to accommodate so many people in our family?"
"Uh..." Lu Yuxuan said blankly, "It seems so."
Lu Zixiao glanced at him and said calmly, "Please decide on the bedroom decoration style as soon as possible in the next two days. I need to contact the decoration team and move in as soon as possible."
"Okay, big brother," Lu Yuxuan rubbed his hands excitedly, "I have an idea now, I'll tell you tomorrow."
Li Mingyang looked at him and asked, "Are you going to put up a whole room of Ultraman again?"
"The era of Ultraman is over, brother," Lu Yuxuan said with his neck stiff, groaning, "I want to put on Sailor Moon this time!"
