The roads are even more dilapidated.
Qiao Xiazhi and his friends walked around several alleys and found that there were very few people living here. There were only a few families living on one street.
Most of them are elderly people and children. Maybe it’s because today is not the weekend, so the young people have gone to work in the nearby factories.
"Move, move, move, move! We have lived here all our lives. Now you want us to move. Where should we move to?"
When Qiao Xiazhi and his friends were passing another alley, they suddenly heard a noise.
Qiao Xiazhi patted Jiang Yunchen, signaling Jiang Yunchen to ride slower and listen to what was happening.
Then I heard a young man say to the old man: "Uncle, we have made it very clear that we will arrange a place for you to live. The government is preparing to take back this place now."
The old man didn't believe him and angrily said, "Why should we believe what you say? What if we move away and you take our house away? Where will our family live?"
Another female comrade nearby replied: "If you don't believe me, you can go with us to our new residence and take a look. Once you have taken a look, you will know whether we are lying to you or not."
Although the old man believed the woman's words a little, he still refused to give in: "That won't work either. This is our root. We can't move away."
Seeing that the old man refused to give in, the female comrade changed her negotiation style and said, "Uncle, you can not think about yourself, but you should also think about your children and grandchildren, right?"
"There is a school next to the place we arranged for you, so it will be very convenient for your children to go to school in the future."
"Compared to the place you live now, the environment is much, much better."
The man agreed: "Yes, yes, and the sooner you agree to sign, the more opportunities you will have to choose a house. Otherwise, a good house will be easily chosen by someone else."
The female comrade nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes."
The old man was a little tempted by this and asked, "Can you give us a house of the same size as our current one? How can we live in a small house with so many people?"
"Where is the other house? Is it far from here? The young people in the family are working in the factory. We are not happy if they move away and it is inconvenient for them to go to work."
The two comrades were suddenly stumped by the old man's question. They really couldn't decide the size of the house.
The current decision only says that a place to stay can be arranged for you, which will definitely be a little further away than the current place.
But the environment there is much better than here.
When the old man saw that the two young comrades stopped talking, he became dissatisfied again just as he was about to relax.
"You don't even know how big a house to give me when I ask you. What if I listen to you and sign the agreement? You only give me a small house. What then? Are you going to make seven or eight of us squeeze into one small house?"
"If that's the case, the house we live in now, although the environment is a bit worse, is still comfortable to live in. So why should we move?"
"Go, go, go, hurry up and don't wait for me to chase you away."
"Uncle, you can go with us to see the new residence first, it's not too late to make a decision later." The man wanted to fight for it again.
The next second, the old man picked up the broom and prepared to chase people away.
The two young staff members quickly withdrew.
In the end, the negotiations failed and they were almost kicked out. Both of them were very aggrieved.
They had finally secured this job this year, but they didn't expect that they would be responsible for negotiations.
Their feet were blistered from walking and their lips were worn out from talking. It has been a week now, and they have not made any successful negotiations on the street they were assigned.
The two men sat on the side of the road in frustration, waiting for other colleagues to join them and see the results of their negotiations.
Seeing this, Qiao Xiazhi ran to buy two ice creams and handed them over.
The two comrades looked at Qiao Xiazhi and did not take the ice cream she handed over.
Qiao Xiazhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just passed by here. I saw that you two should have just started working and were so hard-working. I thought of myself, so I didn't mean any other thing."
After hearing what Qiao Xiazhi said, the two comrades accepted the ice cream she handed over.
"Thanks."
"Do you live here too?" the female comrade asked Qiao Xiazhi while eating ice cream.
Qiao Xiazhi shook his head: "I don't live here, I'm here to visit relatives."
"From what I heard from your conversation just now, is the government here planning to take it back?"
As for Qiao Xiazhi's problem, it was no longer a secret, so the two did not hide it.
The man replied: "Yes, many houses in the old city are uninhabitable. When it rains heavily, the houses are very dangerous, so the government wants to renovate this area."
