There were sycamore trees planted on both sides of the courtyard. Their leaves were all yellow and withered. When the wind blew, they fell down. An An stood under the sycamore tree. A cool breeze blew over, making her pores shudder. Teacher Sun saw it and scolded her, "Child, I asked you to put on a thick cotton-padded jacket when you went out, but you didn't want to. It's cold now, isn't it?"
The weather in November was already a little chilly, but when An An and her friends went out, the sun was shining brightly on their bodies, making them feel warm and comfortable. So she only wore a thin coat.
An An jumped on the ground and felt a little warmer. "It's okay! It's just cold when the wind blows, but not when the wind does
n't." "Silly girl, can you control yourself from being so windy?" Teacher Sun said, and took off his coat and put it on An An. "Put it on to keep warm for
a while!" An An was startled by the sudden warmth on her shoulders. "What about you? Don't catch a cold." She raised her hand to take off her clothes, but was held down by Teacher Sun. Teacher Sun pointed to the box facing Gu Weiqiang and said, "I'll go and get busy for a while. I'll make sure you're warm." Although they had asked people to help, they were busy as always. They, the hosts, couldn't just sit there and watch and direct others. What kind of thing would that be?
An An, "I'll go with you!"
"Don't worry, just stand here and watch, don't move, I'll do it!" After saying that, Teacher Sun looked around, "Why don't I see Dong Dong and Jiang Jiang?"
"They went to play with Ding Junbai!" An An was right. Dong Dong and Jiang Jiang went straight to Secretary Ding's house as soon as they got off the car. Ding Junbai had a set of jigsaw puzzles brought back from abroad, which were super large and had a lot of pieces. If these three children were together, they would take out the box of jigsaw puzzles, stick their butts out, and play for a whole morning. They were basically nowhere to be found.
Just make sure that the children are safe.
Teacher Sun went to the front, and An An was looking at the things in the big car from the back. She put on Teacher Sun's thick coat and tightened it. When she was about to look for the figure, she unexpectedly saw a large group of people coming.
The leader was an old lady, and there were many people behind her. An An guessed that it was her son and daughter-in-law! After all, some of the men looked quite similar to the old lady. When she was wondering, the old lady with her bound feet ran to the front, in front of Gu Wei Qiang, and slammed her headscarf on Gu Wei Qiang's face, cursing, "You bastard, you robbed our house for nothing! Everyone, come and judge, is this world going to allow people to live?"
This scene stunned the people who were unloading around, and even Gu Wei Qiang didn't come back to his senses. He pulled off the scarf that was covering his face in a daze, his face fell, and he said in a deep voice, "You old lady, if you have something to say, just talk nicely. Why do you scold and beat people right away?"
The old lady's surname was Wu, and she had a son named Wu Yougen, who was a colleague of Gu Weiqiang. However, Wu Yougen had indeed lived in this compound for many years, and on the ground floor for many years. The family of several people finally waited for the news of the distribution of houses, and according to Wu Yougen's gossip, he could be allocated a large three-bedroom apartment this time! Thinking about how he had worked so hard on the ground floor for so many years, he finally had a goal.
He really went back to his hometown happily, and he also told this big talk, saying that he would bring the old lady in the family to live in the bright and spacious house in the compound, and enjoy the level of an official's wife.
When Wu Yougen went back and said this, it was a great joy to the old Wu family! The old lady was bragging. Her son had been in the county for so many years. Although he was an official before, he was a minor official. He was assigned a large room of about 40 square meters. Every time they came to the county, they found a roof and slept on the floor. Now her son is going to be assigned a big house. This is a very promising thing in their village!
The old lady told people everywhere that her son was going to take her to the county to be an official's wife. However, she had said this for several months, but there was no movement in the city. In addition, she heard rumors, so the old lady couldn't help it and went to the door to inquire.
After questioning for a long time, his son hesitated and refused to explain clearly. In the end, he was forced to no end and finally confessed that the house that he planned to give to them was snatched away by someone.
This made Mrs. Wu furious. Her life in the city was gone, and she could not be a government official's wife. How could she survive there! Her beautiful dream was shattered. Mrs. Wu could not swallow this breath. She simply stayed in the compound and asked around. She found out that the three-bedroom apartment was given to Gu Weiqiang and his family.
Knowing the opponent, Mrs. Wu naturally went home to ask for help. What did she come for? Of course, she came to steal the house!
After An An and Gu Wei Qiang heard what the person next to them said, they were a little bit unbelievable. Gu Wei Qiang spoke first, "Who said that this house was allocated to Wu Yougen?" Although Wu Yougen was his colleague, he was in a position that was neither light nor important. In all these years, he had never moved. Moreover, when Wu Yougen was in the office, he never took the initiative to take on tasks. On the contrary, if there was a task, he would shrink back. After
all these years, not only did he not have advanced political achievements, but he was also not an advanced worker!
Old lady Wu stiffened her neck and said confidently, "My son said that this house was allocated to him, and it was taken away by you bad guys."
An An carefully looked at the old lady, and she quietly retreated to Gu Weiqiang's side. If the old lady had any unusual moves, she would be the first to block them.
But An An was indeed overthinking. Such an old lady in her sixties or seventies should think twice before bullying Gu Weiqiang.
Gu Wei Qiang finally understood what Mrs. Wu meant. He murmured, "In our unit, housing is allocated based on seniority, or in other words, based on who has done the most advanced work." He paused, "Are you Wu Youxu's parents?"
Mrs. Wu had no idea what Gu Wei Qiang was up to, but she nodded anyway.
Gu Weiqiang continued, "Do you know how senior Wu Yougen is in the company? Do you know anyone with better political achievements than Wu Yougen? Has Wu Yougen ever been elected as an advanced cadre for three consecutive years?" Three questions in a row made Mrs. Wu a little confused. How could she, an old lady from the countryside, know these things? She insisted, "Anyway...anyway, this house belongs to our Wu family. If you have, give it back to us!"
Gu Weiqiang didn't care. He said calmly, "You don't know! Let me tell you, there are eight people in our unit who have more experience than Wu Yougen, five of them have outstanding political achievements, and two of them are advanced cadres. Wu Yougen is the only one not among them. Tell me, why should this house be given to Wu Yougen when he has no experience, no political achievements, and is not an advanced cadre?"
"If you still don't understand, I'll explain it in a simpler way. Take the work points earned in your village as an example. Wu Yougen doesn't have the longest tenure, and his work is not outstanding, so he can't even be called an excellent farmer. If you were an old leader, would you give the house to Wu Yougen, who has accomplished nothing?"
Old Mrs. Wu was a little short of breath after hearing this, but every son is the best in the eyes of a mother. She argued with wrinkles on her face, "That's because you didn't give our Yougen a chance, otherwise he would definitely do better than any of you!" Then she changed the subject, "I don't care. Since you promised to give our family Yougen this house, you must vacate it now, otherwise I will sue you in Beijing to get to the bottom of it."
It is said that when a scholar meets a soldier, he cannot explain his reason clearly. Gu Weiqiang is just like that now! The brothers who came with him to help move were stopped by Gu Weiqiang. If the old lady is not handled well today, this family will not be able to move anymore.
He raised his hand and rubbed his brows, throwing the difficult question to everyone, "Old lady, we know that Wu Yougen is the best in your heart, but you come and ask everyone, was this house ever allocated to Wu Yougen?"
People who live in this compound have basically been here for many years. Today, the new county magistrate just moved to this government compound, and some people came to make trouble. Some people were happy to watch the excitement, while others thought about getting along better in the future, so they said, "We are all from the same compound, and we have never heard that this house will be allocated to Wu Yougen?"
"What's more, Wu Yougen likes to be sneaky and everyone can see it. Even if this house is allocated to anyone, it will not be Wu Yougen's!"
"That's right! Old lady, who has deceived you? You are here to make trouble today. The owner of this house has been decided long ago. We all have sharp eyes. If it was really given to Wu Yougen, how could we not know? You, old lady, don't have to come to us. We will naturally seek justice for Wu Yougen."
Old lady Wu was skeptical, "Are you serious?" "
Of course it's true. How can we, outsiders, deceive you? It's not in any good for us!"
Finally someone spoke fairly, and Gu Wei Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.
But when old lady Wu looked at the crowd, the man with a mustache shook his head at her. Her attitude, which had softened a little, immediately changed, "No! You are all in cahoots with the new county governor, trying to deceive an old lady like me! Stop talking nonsense, I just want to ask you whether you will give us the house today or not?"
I don't know if others noticed the interaction between old lady Wu and the man with a mustache in the crowd, but An An saw it clearly. She sneaked away from Gu Weiqiang and walked in front of the man with a mustache.
She firmly grasped the wrist of the mustache man, and heard a "click". The mustache man howled like a pig being slaughtered, and was about to run away, but was kicked on the knee by An An, and suddenly half-knelt on the ground. With a "bang", the attention of all the people around him was drawn to him.
