When people are lucky, they can't stop it.

The real culprit of the "2.07 Sucheng 2.07 large-scale robbery and murder case" was arrested, and the leaders of Sucheng City and the central cadres all paid attention to this small fan factory dormitory building again. After thinking about it, the leaders of the factory simply stopped the demolition for the time being, and immediately moved the demolition time to September.

Lian Xi's demolition payment came down in July.

Waking up early in the morning, Lian Xi turned on his phone while brushing his teeth, and suddenly, a bank transfer text message popped up—

[ICBC] Your account with last number 8816 received RMB 1,363,000.00 from ICBC at 08:32 on July 17, with a balance of RMB 1,381,534.00. Summary: Compensation for demolition of Kangping Community, Wunan District, Suzhou City.

"!!!"

I see through! ! !

"Cough cough cough..." The surprise was too much, a violent cough, and even Xi almost choked on the toothpaste foam.

As soon as the demolition payment arrived on the card, half an hour later, Lian Xi received a call from the neighborhood committee.

"Hey, Lianxi of 2 Buildings 302, right? The demolition payment has already been received."

"Yes, I got it."

"Okay, we also received a feedback form from the bank here. You can come to the neighborhood committee in the afternoon and sign again to confirm that you have received the demolition payment."

Lian Xi agreed: "Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, I didn't remember what time I would go in the afternoon. But he didn't call to ask again, just in time for him to go back to the old house and pack up.

At noon, Lian Xi took the bus and came to Kangping Community.

Kangping Community is an old community in the 1980s. It is located in the remote Wunan District, with a bus station around it. It takes 20 minutes to walk from the bus station to the community.

As soon as Lian Xi got off the bus, a spirited voice came from behind him: "Xiao Lian?!"

He looked back: "Uncle Li!"

I saw Uncle Li carrying two snakeskin bags and got off the bus behind.

Uncle Li came up and said with a smile, "You still know how to come back?"

Lian Xi nodded with a smile, but didn't know what to say.

After my grandfather passed away these years, there are no relatives in the family, only Uncle Li occasionally visits him at the orphanage. Uncle Li has two sons to support at home, and it is impossible to really take care of one of his neighbors. But his intention was even accepted by Xi, even though he hadn't seen him for a long time, even Xi was not good at words, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Uncle Li glanced at him up and down: "Like when I was a child, I don't like talking! It looks like your mother. Come on, let's go back to our house and see."

Entering the Kangping community, you can see the trucks of the moving company everywhere.

By this time, half of the owners have moved away, and the remaining half will move out in a few days.

There are a lot of waste collectors in the community. They sit by the flower beds with shrewd eyes, staring around at business. As soon as someone shouted "Trash collector", they swarmed up.

The favorite to collect waste is this demolition community.

Just received a large demolition fee and became rich overnight. Everyone stepped on the cloud, erratic, and their faces were full of joy. Moving will definitely produce waste, especially old furniture. If you don't have money, it's not pleasing to the eye. At this time, they called them to collect the waste, and they only said enviously, "Oh, you are lucky, how much is the demolition!", they can usually get a blood price.

If you encounter more generous, it is possible to give them old furniture and old electrical appliances directly!

The two were walking when one of the waste collectors approached: "Little handsome guy, Gong Xi Fa Cai. Do you want to collect waste at home?"

Uncle Li: "It's all over, it's gone!"

The garbage collector walked away disappointed.

Uncle Li said to Lian Xi: "Don't pay attention to them, their prices are always low. I know a friend. I will call him later and ask him to help you collect the waste. Ah yes, I haven't asked yet, Xiao Lian, Do you still have the old furniture in your house?"

Lian Xi: "No, thank you Uncle Li."

"Damn, they are all old neighbors, thank you."

back home.

As soon as the door was opened, the smell of dust that had not been ventilated for a long time rushed into the nostrils.

Lian Xi coughed twice and looked at the old furniture that had been wrapped in white cloth for a long time.

Uncle Li has the key to Lian Xi's house and occasionally helps with cleaning, but since the community was determined to be demolished, he has been too busy with his own family affairs, let alone helping Lian Xi's house. After two months, a lot of dust has accumulated on the ground.

Lian Xi opened the doors and windows to ventilate.

He packs up in the house.

Old furniture and old electrical appliances are definitely not needed. He picked out a few old books and took them away.

He asked Uncle Li just now, and he went to the neighborhood committee to sign at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still an hour left. Uncle Li has almost cleaned up, so he doesn't need Lian Xi's help at all. Bored, after playing with the phone for a while, Lian Xi opened an old book and casually read it.

This is an 82 edition of "Dream of Red Mansions".

Lian Xi remembered that Grandpa always liked to sit on the balcony, wearing reading glasses, and flipping through the book over and over again.

He turned the book with a calm expression, turned to the middle page, and suddenly, a photo fell out.

It's a wedding photo.

The man with short hair wears a brown suit, and the beautiful woman with the most fashionable long curly hair of the moment wears a red cheongsam. The two happily looked at the camera with happy smiles.

... is his parents' wedding photos.

I didn't expect to find this photo here, and Lian Xi picked it up and looked at it for a long time.

"Do I look like my mother?"

Not at all like it!

Just thinking about it, suddenly, two slow footsteps came from the stairs outside the door.

Lian Xi sat by the door and flipped through the books. The smell of dust in the room was too strong. He could feel more comfortable sitting at the door.

Hearing footsteps, he raised his head and saw a middle-aged woman and a young pregnant woman.

The pregnant woman waved a small fan with an advertisement printed on it and complained, "Mom, why are we coming? It's killing me. Let Zhang Hao come over to sign, you have to let me come over."

Middle-aged woman: "Bullshit! What do you know! This is our house. If you ask Zhang Hao to sign, the house is yours or his?"

"Isn't the money already on my bank card?"

"Then you have to sign it! Otherwise, the bank will say later that Zhang Hao's signature is Zhang Hao's. What should I do?"

"Mom!" The pregnant woman rolled her eyes at the mother who was supporting her. She was speechless. When she looked up, her eyes happened to meet Lian Xi.

The pregnant woman was stunned and stopped.

The middle-aged woman on the side followed her line of sight: "You are... 302, are you Lian Xi?"

After a moment of silence, Lian Xi nodded.

The middle-aged woman's face suddenly turned blue and white, and her tone was displeased: "Are you back?"

The pregnant woman looked at Lian Xi curiously and asked, "Mom, who is this little brother, do you know him?"

The middle-aged woman leaned into her ear: "It's Laolian's house downstairs, their grandson. You played with him when you were young."

"True or false? I don't have any impression at all."

"His parents were killed by him, and later Laolian was killed by him. All the family members died, so he was sent to the orphanage. You are still young, you can't remember!"

The pregnant woman muttered: "That must be because he was not good-looking when he was a child. I can definitely remember how he looks like now."

The voices of the two of them were not too small or too small, and Lian Xi probably heard half of them in his ears.

Although I didn't hear it all, I wanted to know what the middle-aged woman said.

The middle-aged woman stretched her arms to block the pregnant woman's belly, preventing her from going. She pulled out a smile and said falsely, "Lian Xi, why don't you sit in and sit outside?"

Lian Xi looked up at the door frame and said lightly, "I'm sitting inside the door."

"Sit back in there."

"… "

Pulling up the small bench, Lian Xi sat directly at the entrance of the stairs, in front of his house, without expression.

The middle-aged woman immediately exploded: "Your brain is broken? My girl just got pregnant. Are you blocking my way here to kill my dear grandson?"

Uncle Li hurried out when he heard the shouting: "What's the matter? Isn't this Aunt Wang, and Xiao Li. What's the matter with you?"

Aunt Wang rolled her sharp little eyes: "Oh, what's the matter, look at this mourning star. Block us from going upstairs!"

Lian Xi's voice was quiet: "I didn't block the stairs, I just sat at the door of my house."

Aunt Wang: "Hey, does it make sense for you to occupy the public space?"

The pregnant woman on the side thought she was ashamed and held her back: "Okay, mom, what are you doing, they didn't get in the way, let's go up."

Aunt Wang: "He killed the whole family, are you not afraid that he will kill your son?"

"Can you stop being so superstitious!"

"You know what! Little Chi, get out of the way and go back to your house!"

Lian Xi glanced at her and continued to look down at the book.

Aunt Wang was extremely angry and scolded again.

Uncle Li has one big head and two big ones, and doesn't know how to pull the frame.

Seeing that Aunt Wang's scolding was about to call other neighbors over, her daughter couldn't hold it any longer.

"You are not ashamed!"

As he spoke, he took his mother's arm and dragged her upstairs. When they walked to Lian Xi's side, Lian Xi looked up at them, suddenly pulled the small bench silently, and sat in the door. This time, he even sat further back than before, far away from the two of them.

Aunt Wang and her daughter were quarreling and complaining with each other and didn't notice his actions.

When they left, Uncle Li came over and said helplessly, "Xiaolian, why did you sit back again?"

Lian Xi closed the book "A Dream of Red Mansions".

He didn't look at it at all, and kept flipping through the first time, revealing that line of words—

"The paper is full of absurd words, and a handful of bitter tears. 』

Lian Xi: "Nothing, I'm afraid to kill them."

Uncle Li: "Hey! You, what are you talking about?"

Lian Xi smiled: "No, I'm serious."

Uncle Li looked at the young man's bright and clear eyes, opened his lips, and finally sighed heavily.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lian Xi and Uncle Li went to the neighborhood committee to line up to sign, and ran into the mother and daughter again. The two seemed to have stopped quarreling. The pregnant woman was wearing sunglasses and fanning herself irritably. Aunt Wang handed her water.

One looked up and found that Lian Xi and Uncle Li were looking at him.

Aunt Wang sneered and muttered, "Little Chi!"

However, she didn't realize that what Lian Xi was actually looking at was not her, but the daughter beside her.

Or rather, her daughter's slightly bulging belly.

Uncle Li: "Xiaolian, what are you looking at?"

Lian Xi came back to his senses: "Uncle Li, do you know how long Aunt Wang's daughter is pregnant?"

Uncle Li: "I think about it... It seems like two or three months? I can't remember, but it was before the demolition."

Two or three months...

Even Xi pondered for a while. He took out his mobile phone and searched for the time when pregnant women were prone to slippage.

"The first three months are a dangerous period. 』

He raised his head and looked at the pregnant woman's belly.

Lian Xi looked at the trace of black air that seemed to be entangled in her stomach, thoughtful.

When the mother and daughter went upstairs just now, Aunt Wang had been protecting her daughter, not letting Lian Xi approach, let alone seeing her belly. He also doesn't know whether this trace of black qi was there from the beginning or just now.

This kind of black gas is rare, and even Xi has only seen it in pregnant women with slippage and stillbirth.

Without exception, the children of these pregnant women must have been lost.

If it's just now...

Perhaps as Aunt Wang said, he is really a death star.

"2 buildings! The owners of 2 buildings came to line up to sign!"

A group of people rushed over.

***

After signing, Lian Xi and Uncle Li walked to the bus stop together.

"Xiaolian, what are you going to use the demolition funds for?"

"I haven't figured it out yet, what about you?"

"Haha, I've already thought about it. My two sons are doing well in the city. They take care of each other, so I don't need to worry about it. I'll take the money back to my hometown and build a three-story villa! Uncle has to advise you. , more than one million seems to be a lot, you can't buy any good houses in our Su City, don't you really think that you are rich and spend it randomly, do you know?"

"I know, thank you Uncle Li."

"Okay, then I'll go first."

When I walked to the bus stop, the bus happened to be coming. Uncle Li walked up and said, "We will keep in touch in the future!"

Lian Xi waved his hand: "Yeah!"

Of course, Lian Xi never thought about buying a house.

The housing prices in Sioux City are getting higher and higher every day, and real estate agents in Sioux City are saying every day, "Hurry up and buy a house, it will go up tomorrow!"

This said, who can buy a house who doesn't want to buy a house, the problem is to afford it!

For more than one million, the most you can buy in Sioux City is a commercial and residential apartment, the one with more than 20 families on one floor, the seller has to pay 40% of the tax, or commercial water and electricity.

He had already found the house on the rental app.

Still a haunted house!

Early the next day, Lian Xi contacted the moving company, worked all day, and finally cleaned up.

The real estate agent who rented the house, wearing a small suit, also helped to pack up for a long time.

Lian Xi brought her a bottle of water: "Do you all work as real estate agents to help people move?"

This real estate agent is a young girl who just came out to work, her name is Xiao Liu, she took the water and thanked her, a little embarrassed: "That, no. My colleague has never helped tenants move, and I have never done this before. But you..." She stammered for a long time before continuing: "Do you really want to rent this house?" After speaking, she laughed to herself: "No, the house has moved, and it must be rented. That's the one The brokerage fee…”

Lian Xi thought for a while: "Are you helping me move for the agency fee?"

Xiao Liu was not polite, scratched his short hair, and said directly: "Rent out this kind of house, ask for peace of mind, and I will help you move a house. Otherwise, I am charged for this agency fee, and I am not at ease! But this time the agency It's enough for you to give five hundred, just five hundred."

Lian Xi: "The rent is one thousand and sixteen. According to the rules, half of it should be charged, eight hundred."

Xiao Liu: "It's alright, apart from you, this house has been rented for two years, and no one has even looked at it! Just five hundred."

Lian Xi looked at her hair that was wet with sweat and stuck to her forehead. She didn't speak, and turned five hundred silently.

After the little girl left, he pressed Alipay to call three hundred again.

Xiao Liu immediately called back: "I can't accept these three hundred!"

"It's okay, this is the rule of your real estate agent. I have rented a house before, I know."

"Ah, you, I really can't accept it."

"I have something to do, hang up first."

"Mr. Lian, you..."

Lian Xi quickly hung up the phone.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really hard to communicate with people!

Lian Xizheng felt that he had escaped, but suddenly, the phone rang again, and he looked down, it was still Xiao Liu!

Hang up now!

After hanging up three calls in a row, Xiao Liu kept calling. Even Xi felt his scalp tingling, and finally answered the fourth call: "It's only three hundred yuan, it really doesn't matter, it's really hard for you to help me move, I don't think it's alright. Stop calling, I'm hanging up! "

"and many more!"

A light and refreshing male voice came from the phone, and the hand that even hung up the phone stopped abruptly.

He looked at the phone screen.

Unfamiliar phone

The man on the phone laughed and said, "Is this the anchor of the Douya live broadcast platform 'Liancheng'? Hello, I'm the super manager of the Gem Guild, and my ID is Wandering. You can now log in to Douya Live to watch it. Come on, I just sent you a private message with a super tube number. I'm not a liar."
