Chapter 312 On-site inspection
As soon as A Ling got the consent of the elders here, she directly informed An Songyu.
So, early the next morning, the original team went to A Ling's homestead of three acres.
The homestead is located in Rongdi, and it only takes An Songyu half an hour to get there from Xingfu Garden.
But it is indeed the same as the news we originally knew.
Forget about getting a car in here.
As one of the oldest urban areas in the area, the streets here were originally designed only for pedestrians and bicycles.
Walking in the alley that is no more than two meters wide, on the bluestone road that has been worn down and is not very flat, the shops on both sides are still very busy.
There were just a lot of people in the alley, and from time to time there were bicycles and motorcycles slowly sliding past.
Walk along this main street which has lost its former glory but still retains a certain prosperity.
They turned two more alleys before reaching their destination.
"You said this is an old house that can't be lived in?" An Songyu stared blankly at the neatly built two-story tiled houses in front of him, and asked in disbelief.
She has seen countless self-built houses recently.
Apart from being a brick-concrete structure built in an early period, An Songyu didn't think it would be much better than the house in front of him.
"Of course!" A Ling searched for a while in a bunch of keys before finding the corresponding key.
After opening the lock which was quite difficult due to rust, the group entered the house.
The house does look old.
The paint on the wall was falling off in pieces here and there.
Some have fallen off and you can see the bricks and sand inside.
Some of them still had old, moldy, and yellowed newspapers barely attached to them.
In some cases, you can see the original material of the wall.
The house occupies a fairly large area, and the ladder in the corner that leads directly upstairs looks quite sturdy.
There were not many pieces of furniture in the room, and some of them were obviously rotten.
Some of them still retain some of their original appearance.
But because it hasn't been cleaned for a long time, not much can be seen.
A few of them went to take a quick look in several rooms on the first floor.
Apart from the kitchen where the stove was collapsed and looked the messiest, the other rooms were still acceptable because there were not many pieces of furniture.
But it’s not easy to get started.
There was some wall plaster that had fallen off the roof on the ground.
Some rooms also had obvious leaking windows.
After looking around, An Songyu had to admit that it was A Ling's old house.
"Can I go upstairs?" An Songyu asked after testing the sturdiness of the stairs.
A Ling was a little hesitant.
She hasn't been here for a long time.
I didn't even grow up here when I was a child.
So I don’t have much impression or curiosity about this place.
In addition, no one has lived in this house for a long time, and she was not very comfortable with people climbing the stairs again.
An Jianmin came over wearing work gloves and motioned for the others to step back.
Then he grasped the steps of the stairs and checked their firmness one by one, and then said, "The material of this ladder is good, and people can climb up."
"But be careful, no one knows what's going on upstairs."
After all, the water and electricity in this house had been cut off long ago.
Although they brought flashlights, this was a house that had not been lived in for a long time, and they didn't know if snakes, rats or the like would make their home there!
Because of everyone's serious attitude, An Songyu was a little hesitant.
But after A Ling nodded in agreement and An Jianmin climbed up the ladder to take a look, several people went up the ladder one by one.
The height of the second floor is naturally not particularly high.
The natural light coming through the lattice windows is not very bright.
But it can be seen that this upstairs was probably where their family stored things in the past.
There are still many jars, cans, cabinets and boxes.
Moreover, compared to the separate rooms on the first floor, the entire second floor is completely connected.
It looks particularly wide.
Except for the highest point of the roof, other places, especially those near the windows, are almost not suitable for tall people to move around.
"This house must have been very nice back then." An Songyu sighed as he went downstairs.
After all, there are old houses like this around.
But there are really not many companies that can reach this level.
However, the newly built two-story or two-and-a-half-story buildings seem to be slightly better than it.
This was the first time that A Ling took a close look at her old house.
After following a few people to look at several houses in a circle, I couldn't help but nod.
My grandfather and his family really put a lot of thought into building this house.
It looks more solid and spacious than the surrounding houses of the same age.
After the group walked around carefully, A Ling began to understand why the old people wanted to rebuild here.
I guess it’s just like her current home, she has too many memories of it.
But now the family members are not even comfortable letting them come back to check on this house.
So what else can be done besides rebuilding?
"Ayu, can you give me a copy of the photos you took?" A Ling asked solemnly before leaving here.
She had already noticed that the two men who came with her never put down their cameras from beginning to end.
Sometimes I take pictures of the original house, and sometimes I take pictures of some traces on the original house.
Those places that she had not noticed before were noticed by Ayu and his group.
Even when they reached the open space behind the houses, they would take pictures of the existing pond and big trees.
A Ling didn't know whether such original information could be used.
But the moment she discovered it, she wanted to keep a copy of these things.
Or you can give it to your grandpa when you go to chat with them.
An Songyu first looked at Jian Ziyu and the others, and after getting their approval, he said:
"It's not a problem to give you a copy of the photo, but it may need to be sorted out first."
Wang Henian obviously understood Ah Ling's idea of getting along with others, so he took the initiative to say:
"In the next two days, I will come here to record some original data."
“We’ll take some more photos when the time comes.”
"Once everything is sorted, we'll send it to you, how about that?"
"Okay!" A Ling nodded immediately.
Sure enough, for the next few days, Wang Henian either alone, or with An Songyu, or when Jian Ziyu was free, recorded all the original information of the three acres of land in detail bit by bit.
When An Songyu got the things that could be given to A Ling, he realized how carefully he had organized them.
"Are these actually arranged one by one according to the original houses?" An Songyu asked as he opened the photo album that was obviously specially printed.
Wang Henian nodded proudly.
Then he pointed at the first photo that An Songyu had just opened and said, "Look at this part of the house. What does it look like?"
An Songyu looked carefully for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
Wang Henian couldn't help but feel disgusted.
But he still quickly turned two pages and let An Songyu see the close-up photos taken at that location.
