Chapter 76 I’m afraid I’ll be back soon
In the morning, it was drizzling in Gubei Town. The rainwater slid down the grooves of the steel structure roofs on the roofs of the houses, and there was a gap between the sky and the earth. Intermittent dotted lines are drawn in between.
Most of the houses in Gubei Town were built by the townspeople. The red bricks were exposed due to the peeling wall skin. However, the steel structure awning at the top of the old stairs was newly built, showing a subtle It feels inconsistent, like a twilight old man wearing a brand new baseball cap.
Ning Zhe drove through the alley where the rain was pouring, and the crisp raindrops crackled on both sides of the road.
These steel structure ceilings have only become popular in Gubei Town in the past two years.
Qinzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and Taoyuan City is also in the south of Qinzhou. It is surrounded by hills and filled with water vapor. The air humidity is high, humid, and rainy all year round. The same building waterproof coating may last ten or twenty years in Yongzhou, Yunzhou and other places in the north, but it may start to fall off in five years in the rainy Taoyuan City of Qinzhou Prefecture.
With the year-round humid environment and the climate that rains frequently, the residents of Gubei Town have been suffering from leaking houses and peeling off walls for decades, resulting in reduced insulation performance. Rheumatism is the most common here. of geriatric diseases. However, the solution to this problem is also very simple - build a steel structure rain shelter on the roof to prevent rainwater from directly reaching the building.
In this way, the life of the exterior decoration of the building can be greatly extended, and the problem of water leakage in the house has also been completely eliminated.
The steel structure awning is not a large and expensive project. Ordinary townspeople can afford it. The construction period is not long and it is not troublesome. Why has such a simple and practical method only begun to be used in ancient monuments in the past two years? Popular in town?
Because it’s unexpected.
The young people in Gubei Town have all gone out to work in other prefectures. They cannot return home a few times throughout the year. When they return home, they don't live there for a short time, so they don't realize the various construction problems caused by the humid air. The highest level of education for the elderly who live in the town is technical secondary school, and most of them are illiterate.
Young people are building other people’s hometowns, while old people have no education to improve their own hometowns. It’s that simple.
It’s so simple that the residents of the town have been tortured by a small problem for decades.
"After the scenic spot is built, life in the town may be better..."
Ning Zhe parked the car back to the hotel where Zhang Yangxu was staying, and used his identity to follow The assistant chatted for a while, and an hour later, he returned to his old home with a contract.
Because of the rain, grandpa did not go out to go fishing. He was suffering from rheumatism and was sitting on a wicker chair in the lobby baking his knees with a pot of charcoal fire. Grandma had just come out of Ning Zhe's room. , I don’t know what I’m mumbling.
Ning Zhe leaned the umbrella against the wall, walked into the room and sat next to the fire: "It's so hot, why not warm up by the fire."
Grandpa's vest was soaked with sweat. .
"There's nothing you can do about it. My legs hurt when it rains. No plaster is of any use. Only fire can relieve the pain." Grandpa shook his head and said, "Where have you been these two days? ? The teacher called to say you are not at school and I don’t see you at home.”
“I’ll follow you. The real estate developer has negotiated a contract." Ning Zhe lied without blinking and handed a paper contract to his grandfather: "Our house is in a good location, and the conditions offered by the real estate developer seem fair, but in fact they are not. I was at a loss, so I went to negotiate with them for two days and asked for the price again.”
Grandpa hummed and nodded, and pretended to read the contract. His education level was actually only the second grade of elementary school. Before he finished reading, he only knew the word "contract" on the contract. "You and grandma sign in the blank space at the bottom of the last page, or you can fingerprint it. It will take a week to go through the process, and the demolition money will be credited to your card." Ning Zhe turned to the last page of the contract. Explained: "The demolition money I got for you is more than four times that of others with the same area. I also brought an entire floor of Jiangcheng Junjing with me. Please pay more attention to grandma and don't let her talk nonsense everywhere. ”
Grandpa's eyes suddenly widened: "You mean Jiangcheng Junjing? The one in the city?"
Grandma who was standing aside and listening was also shocked. Jiangcheng Junjing can be said to be the most beautiful place in Taoyuan City. It's a good community for the rich. The housing prices there have always been high. The son of the old Wu family in the town did business in Yanzhou last year. He made a fortune in the wake of the trade turmoil. He bought a 180-square-meter commercial house in Junjing, Jiangcheng. You still have to take out a loan.
But Ning Zhe actually negotiated with the developer for the property rights of an entire floor, and also brought four times the demolition compensation. The windfall that fell from the sky made the two old people a little confused.
"The developer's people will send you the real estate certificate next month. You and grandma will go to the police station to go through the formalities first, and then you can move in together. The humidity in high-rise buildings is not that heavy, and you can live on that leg." "I can feel better."
Ning Zhe said lightly. Dan wrote: "During this period, please pack up the things in the old house. Don't bring anything you shouldn't bring. Our family doesn't lack that little money now."
Grandpa and grandma said to each other. Looking at each other, the tacit understanding between the old couple makes it unnecessary for them to say anything.
Grandma sat down next to Ning Zhe, put her hands on his thighs, and said, "Forget it, Azhe, your grandpa and I can't live in such a high building until it is demolished. When the money arrives, you can take us both to find a quieter ordinary community and buy a smaller house to live in. "
"Jiangcheng Junjing's house is very rare. Girls like us old guys have lived in it, so we want to keep it for you and use it as a wedding house after graduation." Grandma made rough arrangements. His palms gently rubbed Ning Zhe's knees, and the orange fire shone on her face, making her shadowy.
Grandpa took out a cigarette from his arms, lit it against the fire, took a deep puff, and then said: "Your grandma and I are old and don't have many years to live. Save some money on the demolition compensation." It’s not much, but I’ll leave it to you in the end.”
“It’s not necessary, just go and live in it. The properties in the good community are also better. You will know by then.” Ning Zhe shook his head. , say nothing more.
Grandpa and grandma looked at each other and sighed.
Ning Zhe is a child who is good at everything, whether it is study, health, or life. He has never let them worry about it since he was a child. He has never complained about his family being poor, and he has never envied other families. Rich, I have never coveted other children's toys and snacks, and I have never been bullied or suffered a disadvantage. Apart from reading books and animations, he rarely has any other entertainment.
Ning Zhe has been like this since he was a child, and he doesn't look like a rebellious child at all.
It doesn't even look like a living person.
Ning Zhe's feelings were so dull that his grandfather was overjoyed when he saw Bai Zhi guarding his bedside that day, thinking that he had finally enlightened and realized that he wanted a rare girl. As a result, the girl has never been seen again to this day. appeared.
After settling things at home, Ning Zhe returned to school and asked his class teacher for a long vacation, and left his hometown lightly.
