Chapter 416: Sudden
"No way, our place is going to be demolished too?"
Early in the morning, Diao Yulian's hoarse screams were heard in the courtyard.
Jin Qiaofeng stopped abruptly as she was about to go out, turned a corner and headed towards the backyard.
"What? Who told you that?"
Diao Yulian pointed at Zhang Dazui who was standing there: "You ask her."
Zhang Dazui leaned against the pillar of the west porch and said, "I went out to buy vegetables this morning and heard several people talking about it at the market. They had all sorts of details."
At this time, Gao Xiulan was smiling from ear to ear and came in from the front yard holding Lin Xiaotong's arm.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were carrying large and small bags in their hands. Diao Yulian looked at Gao Xiulan with sharp eyes and saw that her fingers were red from being strangled.
Zhang Dazui jokingly said, "Hey, Xiulan, why are you so happy today?"
When Gao Xiulan heard this, she smiled reservedly and raised the spoils in her hand.
"Isn't it my birthday today? Xiaotong drove me to the mall and bought some things."
Lin Xiaotong, who was standing next to her, knew that her mother was starting to show off secretly. She just had to keep smiling to cooperate with her parents.
"You call that a little? I'm afraid all the shelves in the mall will be emptied!"
Jin Qiaofeng was shouting and Ernengzi, who was sleeping in the room, was woken up by his mother's words.
He turned over, rolled up the quilt and went to sleep next to his wife.
Even if the sky falls, it can't disturb his lazy sleep.
Diao Yulian rubbed her ears and said, "Can you please be quieter? My head is buzzing."
Jin Qiaofeng came over to take a look and said, "Oh, you bought lipstick? It's a foreign brand, not cheap.
Last time, my daughter Cuicui also brought me one. It was so bright red that I was too embarrassed to put it on.
Zhang Dazui sat at the door with a small stool in his hand: "What's there to be embarrassed about?
Don’t they say it in the movies? Big waves go with a flaming red lip.”
Diao Yulian felt sad because her daughter-in-law didn't buy it for her.
He quickly interrupted, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about the demolition, shall we?"
Yang Shujuan had just taken the washed clothes out of the washing machine and came over after wiping her hands.
"Every year they talk about demolition, but there's a lot of talk and little action. In the end, nothing happens."
Jin Qiaofeng smacked her lips and patted her thigh. "Last year, Yu'er Hutong was demolished, and the compensation per square meter was nearly ten thousand!"
When she heard this number, Diao Yulian's breathing quickened and her eyes flashed.
I started calculating in my mind how much money I could get for her small three-room house.
Zhang Dazui was not very happy: "Can't we just not move? We're used to living here, why do we have to move?"
Yu Afen also felt bad: "You have to agree, but the residents of the Lin family compound didn't want it demolished. They fought a lawsuit for a year, but in the end, most of it was demolished, didn't they?"
To be honest, she didn't think the money was too little, she just didn't want to move.
After all, if her house really needs to be demolished, the three main rooms in her house are quite large, and the compensation would probably be hundreds of thousands.
Lao Qian’s small restaurant near Shichahai was not demolished, but several teahouses next door began to be renovated and bars were opened.
At night, the place is full of lights and partying, and there are many young people, who sometimes visit small restaurants.
Now the small restaurant at home has gradually been handed over to the apprentice, and she and Lao Qian just go to the store to work every week.
Lao Qian will only cook for himself if the guest is a very close acquaintance, such as Manager Cai.
Gao Xiulan also heard about this matter. It was reported in the newspapers and a lawsuit was filed. It has been a hot topic since 2005.
His eyebrows began to knot, but soon relaxed again: "The demolition permit hasn't come down yet, and the notice hasn't been posted yet. It's useless to say more now."
Lin Xiaotong also thought so. When she went to collect rent last month, several tenants asked her when the house would be demolished.
If the house is really demolished, they have to rent a house in advance so that they can vacate their things in time.
She told them to live there peacefully for the time being and wait until the official demolition notice came down, as there was still enough time to vacate the house.
Yang Shujuan wanted to ask so she could have a clearer idea: "By the way, when the time comes, do you want money or a house?"
Ever since she and Lao Xia moved here from Shanghai, they have lived in the compound for a long time and have developed feelings for everyone.
I still hope to move with the main force when the time comes.
Diao Yulian crossed her arms and curled her lips: "Didn't they say that the houses demolished in Yu'er Hutong were moved outside the Fifth Ring Road?
I don't want to go that far, it's too far away."
In her opinion, only those living within the second ring road can be considered to be living in the city, and anything beyond that is just suburbs.
Guan Lamei also had something to say: "Houses within the Second Ring Road are now selling for 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per square meter, and the money from the demolition can barely fill the hole.
I don’t want to live in an apartment building where I have to run up and down just to dry my quilt.”
The house that Donggua and Qianyu, a young couple, were allocated by their company a few years ago was sold last year for 10,000 yuan, and someone was really willing to buy it.
Jin Qiaofeng regretted it so much that the corner of her clothes was almost torn. "I don't understand why the price of this house has skyrocketed. In the past, not many people bought it at only 2,000 or 3,000 yuan per square meter."
Ernengzi caught the last wave of housing distribution and got a one-bedroom apartment. However, he thought the place was too small and rented it out directly.
Since the cancellation of welfare housing distribution in June 1998, the commercial housing market has gradually matured and housing prices have been rising year by year.
In 2002, this guy didn't know where he learned the competitive mentality from, but he insisted that she buy him a house.
She only has this one son in the family, and the second son is so diligent and dedicated. How can she bear it?
In the end, she chose a small three-bedroom apartment in the North Fourth Ring Road, which cost her 280,000 yuan!
Her heart was bleeding when she paid the money, and when she came back she deducted her son's pocket money for three months.
Even though house prices have risen a lot now, she still regrets not buying a few more houses.
Lin Xiaotong didn't dare to speak. Could she say that she bought the commercial housing when it was sold in Fangzhuang Asian Games Village in 1989?
Not only did I buy one, I bought several sets.
In 1988, when the three members of the Wei family came home to have the New Year's Eve dinner together, my aunt Jing Qian went to the inner room and quietly slipped her a few gold bars.
She said that this was left to her mother by her grandmother. When the movement just started, her uncle saw that something was wrong and buried it overnight. It was only dug out now.
It was agreed that each sister would get one.
When she was born, her mother had agreed that if anything happened to them in the future, Jing Qian would keep the gold bars and take them out when the time came.
In 1989, Fangzhuang and Asian Games Village began selling commercial housing, with an average price of 1,750 yuan per square meter.
She thought the location was good, between the South Second Ring Road and the North Fourth Ring Road.
Gao Xiulan was also discussing the matter, and finally she and her aunt bought several houses in a community in the Asian Games Village.
Beijing commercial housing prices in 1989
Because these were investment properties, and considering the convenience of selling them later, we bought three one-bedroom units of about 50 square meters and two two-bedroom units of about 70 square meters.
Fangzhuang and Asian Games Village were relatively famous wealthy areas in Beijing in the 1990s, and the living facilities in the communities have gradually matured.
When the bid for the Olympic Games was successful in 2001, the value of the Asian Games Village soared again, and the housing prices increased faster than Xie Yi's pocket money.
A few years ago, Jing Qian sold a one-bedroom apartment and added some money to buy a small three-bedroom apartment for Doudou near the hospital.
Xie Yi looked at Xiaotong's real estate certificate, and Xie Da Jiao looked at Xiulan's real estate certificate.
Both of them would wake up laughing at night.
One day, Chengzi told her that her father and grandfather talked in their sleep at night and laughed in a scary way.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were both at a loss for words.
Diao Yulian was almost biting her teeth: "Why doesn't the company allocate housing?"
Although her Jiabao moved to Beijing, he did not have enough years of service to catch up with the last wave of housing distribution.
Now the family of five is still squeezed into the compound, and living in a very tight situation.
He stamped his feet and made up his mind: "If I get assigned to a house outside the Fifth Ring Road, I will have to pay for a new one."
…
On May 20, 2006, Ernengzi went to the toilet early in the morning with one eye open.
He rushed out of the yard and was about to run towards the toilet, but his slippers flew away and he tripped and stopped abruptly.
A demolition notice was posted on the outer wall of the compound next to the small moving advertisement.
He rubbed his eyes and looked closer in disbelief for several times.
"Oh my god, this is terrible—"
Aunts, something big has happened——"
