Chapter 124 High Forest



A few days later, a young man dressed very fashionably, with a few pictures tucked under his arm and a bucket of paste in his hand, walked into the dormitory area of ​​the tape recorder factory.

Soon, some beautifully printed pictures were pasted on the entrance to the tape recorder factory dormitory and on the big locust trees.

These pictures show several residential buildings with novel designs. The colors of the walls of these residential buildings are also very beautiful, and they are no longer the gray exterior walls that are common in this city.

What is even more surprising is that these large locust trees are also in the picture. Someone who looked carefully at their location found that these large locust trees are still in their original positions.

"Huai Xiang Garden, this place will be called Huai Xiang Garden from now on." The man shouted, pointing to a line of words on the picture.

People became excited instantly, laughing and dancing, as if they were going to live in the house in the picture tomorrow.

However, they then saw the man who posted the picture posted another notice on the big locust tree.

The notice stated that because a household within this courtyard strongly opposed the dormitory renovation, and their location in the center of the courtyard made redevelopment impossible, the future plans for Huaixiang Garden could only be kept for public viewing. This is now officially notified to all households: this dormitory area will not be renovated or rebuilt. Everyone, disperse!

People were stunned for a moment. After reading it several times, they still didn't quite believe what was written on the notice.

At this time, someone said: "Quickly ask the person who posted this thing what is going on."

When I looked again, there was no trace of that person.

The tall Gao Shulin suddenly said, "Don't bother looking. This notice has the Lejia Supermarket seal on it. Have you all forgotten? We are already Lejia Supermarket employees now."

After he said this, these people understood that this was a notice posted by people sent by their own unit.

Now that it was confirmed that there would be no more renovation and reconstruction, these people felt like they had fallen into hell and each of them looked like an idiot.

Suddenly someone shouted, "My new house, my Huaixiang Garden..."

Some people also shouted heartbreakingly, "That damn bastard! You ran away on your own, why did you still want to cause trouble for us..."

"Alas! I have been happy for such a long time, but in the end I still have to live in... Alas! Let me stop talking. I am not blessed!" An old worker who has retired a long time ago shook his head and sighed.

Oddly enough, the sky was gloomy early in the morning, and suddenly it started to rain. This made people even more angry, thinking that their homes would be even more damp and there would be more mosquitoes.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. These people didn't go home, but stood under the big locust tree to protect the pictures and notices, fearing that the rain would get them wet.

"I say, this won't work. We finally found a factory director who's willing to care about us. We can't let one person ruin our plans. How about we select a few representatives and go meet Director Li. I heard he's a very nice guy, and he'll definitely meet us."

Gao Shulin's words immediately sparked a wave of reactions. One worker, a woman in her thirties, said, "Director Li is absolutely a good man. Remember when he came to visit us, he stood under this tree and listened attentively to our conversation? At that time, I knew he would definitely build us a house..."

Before she could finish, someone responded with a "yes, yes." Then, someone else said, "How about this? You and Gao Shulin go find our factory director, Li, and see if he really doesn't want to build a house for us anymore."

But then someone else said, "Are you confused or stupid? It's not that Director Li doesn't want to build us a house, but that family in our yard doesn't want us to live in a new house. Didn't you see it all? Director Li even had the house design posted. The notice says..."

Before he could finish, Gao Shulin said, "I think we don't need to go to Director Li. We can go to that family and ask them to agree to renovate and rebuild. Only then will Director Li build us a house."

When these people heard what Gao Shulin said, they realized that as long as the family agreed, the house could be built, right?

So, regardless of the incessant rain, these people took down the pictures and notices from the locust tree and, led by Gao Shulin, headed towards the house...

When they arrived at the gate of the house, they saw that it was closed and locked. They didn't know what to do and looked at Gao Shulin.

Gao Shulin patted the gate, then he looked into the yard with his legs crossed, shook his head and said, "It seems he hasn't been back for a few days."

Gao Shulin was a neighbor of this family, so people naturally believed what he said. So someone asked Gao Shulin what to do.

Gao Shulin had no other options, so he thought for a moment and said, "I'll just have to go to his workplace to look for him."

It seemed like there was no other way. The rain was getting heavier, water was starting to accumulate underfoot, and people were planning to go home.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from a distance: "Hurry up! My father-in-law has fainted..."

When Gao Shulin heard the voice of Master Yang's lover, he immediately ran over there...

After Master Yang passed away, his father's condition had been fluctuating, and Gao Shulin had often come to help. But this time, when he entered Master Yang's house, Gao Shulin almost slipped and fell to the ground.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Master Yang's wife was only concerned about the patient and forgot to block the gutter under the courtyard wall when it rained. The rainwater outside flowed into the yard and then into the house.

There was no time to care about these things at the moment. Gao Shulin called for someone to ride a tricycle while he picked up the patient and was about to go out.

"Master Gao, do you think we should notify the children to come back?" Master Yang's wife said crying.

Gao Shulin didn't know whether he should call the child back, so he said, "I'll take the old man to the hospital first. It's up to you whether to call the child back or not."

At this time, someone had already ridden a tricycle over. Gao Shulin and his fellow workers put the patient on the tricycle, and then he pedaled the tricycle hard and walked away in the heavy rain.

The trip lasted until after ten o'clock in the evening, and Gao Shulin finally returned home.

By this time he was already exhausted physically and mentally, and extremely hungry and thirsty. But when he opened the door and entered the yard, he saw the yard was full of water, and when he entered the house, there was also water.

This time Gao Shulin completely collapsed and punched the wall with all his might.

With a "dong" sound, the whole wall seemed to move. Gao Shulin was startled. He looked at the wall and thought to himself, "Is it going to collapse?"

At this moment, probably due to aging electrical wires and a leak in the electricity, sparks appeared on the wall and the lights in the room went out.

Gao Shulin was stunned for a while, then he took out a lighter from his pocket in the dark and lit it with a crackling sound.

In the firelight, Yang Shulin's face was a little distorted, but upon closer inspection, he had a strange smile on his face.
