Early summer, Baicheng.
A black car drove into the urban area, turned a corner, and went straight to Fenghuangji in the west. The car had a government license plate and was unremarkable in appearance, but the driver was kind-hearted. It was the liaison officer Zhang Hongru.
And the one in the back seat is naturally Gu Yu.
It is said that he went to Tianzhu Mountain in mid-April and returned at the end of May, a full 40 days. Zhang Hongru has always been considerate in handling things, not to mention hearing about his achievements in Tianzhu Mountain, he dared not neglect him, so he personally picked up the plane.
The car drove through the old city, passed dusty and decaying buildings, and people struggling to become numb and peaceful in their daily lives.
"Huh?"
Gu Yu looked out the window, his eyes flickering. The place I passed just now is called Hongmei Street, and after passing Hongmei Street is Fenghuangji. Between the two areas, there is a large piece of bare open space.
This vacant land has been around for a long time, involving multiple developers and the mess of the former leaders. No one dared to clean up, so it has been left there.
But now, the place has been cleaned up, and simple houses have been built one after another. White walls and blue roofs are neatly arranged, and there are about a hundred households, forming a small village.
Some doors are closed tightly, as if the owner is not there. Some doors were left open, and the old man was basking in the sun at the door while the sun was shining. There is also a young woman sitting in front of the house, holding a large basin to wash clothes. Three or four-year-old children were crying and screaming nearby, but the woman didn't care at all, she just scrubbed mechanically.
"Stop!" Gu Yu suddenly said.
"..."
Zhang Hongru didn't know why, so he slowly leaned the car against the side of the road.
"Are they the townspeople of Caohekou?" Gu Yu asked.
"Well, there are only a few hundred people resettled here, and the large forces are in the north and south, as well as the villages and towns below. The Shengtian government has made plans to build several communities similar to resettlement houses. Caohekou has a total of more than 60,000 people. The house, land and headcount are counted, and each household will be paid a resettlement fee. Buying a house at a low price in the future is equivalent to demolition.”
"What about employment?" He asked again.
"Employment..."
Zhang Hongru shook his head and said sadly: "Now college students can't find a job, and even the country is a headache. Baicheng is so small, how can there be so many job opportunities, young and strong go out to work, and the elderly and children stay at home, what else can I do? ?”
"..."
Gu Yu was silent for a moment, and reminded: "Although the miasma of peach blossoms is a phenomenon brought about by the recovery of spiritual energy, it may appear again in the future. It's okay in the natural area. If it is close to the residential area, similar things will definitely happen."
"We have all considered it, but there is really no way at this stage."
Zhang Hongru also looked out of the window and sighed: "We can't predict its movement, so we can only deal with it passively. This time it's peach blossom miasma, but next time it may become something else. To be honest, the higher-ups once thought of burning that island." , but we can't guarantee whether it will cause follow-up problems, and even if the island is burned, they will still have to leave their homes."
The two of them were speechless for a while, both of them felt a little complicated.
In a society, different groups can be divided according to different criteria. And these groups are all produced under specific backgrounds.
For example, left-behind children, the number of left-behind children in the country exceeds 61 million. 79.7% of the children were raised by grandparents or maternal grandparents, 13% were entrusted to relatives and friends, and 7.3% were uncertain or unattended.
The economic development of different regions is very unbalanced, the conflict between people and land in rural areas is sharp, and a large number of surplus laborers go out to work, and because of the point-based enrollment policy, household registration system and other reasons, they cannot bring their children with them, which leads to the problem of left-behind children.
It is the same today, if there are more and more such things, a new group will definitely be formed: vision immigrants.
"Little bastard, where are you going? You didn't learn well at a young age, and you really didn't have parents and mothers!"
"Woooo... I didn't steal anything, I didn't steal anything... woo..."
At this moment, there was a sudden noise on the street, Gu Yu turned his head to look, but it was a little girl running from a convenience store on Hongmei Street, with a man chasing after her.
The girl looked like six or seven years old, her face turned pale with fright, and she ran to the laundry woman while crying.
"Xiaohe, what's the matter with you?" The woman finally moved a little bit and raised her head to ask.
"Auntie, I, I didn't steal anything... woo woo woo..."
The little girl was crying and scared, and she didn't quite understand. And the man chased after him and shouted: "You are her parent, right? How did you teach the child? You can learn to steal at such an age!"
"Brother, I'm not her parent, I'm her neighbor. Her grandfather asked me to take care of it." The woman became anxious immediately.
"I don't care who you are, she stole from me anyway, you must give an explanation today, or I will call the police!"
"Brother, I, I'm really not her parent!" When the woman heard the alarm, she waved her hands in panic.
At this moment, the neighbors around also came over and whispered:
"Xiaohe is a good boy, how could he steal something?"
"That's right, I'm afraid he didn't watch it himself, so it's up to other people's children."
"The same is true for her grandfather. There is a granddaughter who doesn't care, so she insists on looking for trouble."
Everyone is talking about it, but no one dares to come forward to make a theory. The young and old are not there, only a group of young and old, lonely and widowed, and more importantly: they always have a mentality of bowing their heads under the fence, and the other party is a local.
Seeing this, the man became even more arrogant, cursing: "I don't care who is the parent, you must accompany the money today, or I will report it immediately..."
"Then call the police!"
Before he could finish speaking, someone interrupted. Everyone looked together and saw two young people walking over.
One of them said: "Brother, I see that there are surveillance cameras outside your store, so it's very easy to handle. The police will know as soon as they call, so there's no need to shout here."
"You, who are you?"
When the man saw this manly style and the car parked not far away, his aura weakened a bit.
"You don't care who I am, if you don't report, I will report for you."
As he spoke, Zhang Hongru took out his mobile phone and dialed as if. The man hesitated for a second, and hurriedly said: "Don't mind! Maybe I was wrong, please trouble the police, I'll go back and order, go back and order."
"you sure?"
"Sure, sure! Don't trouble others."
That buddy didn't even say a harsh word, just wiped himself away.
Gu Yu watched from behind, only to feel that at this moment, the three classes were clearly defined.
The little girl is a low-level population from outside, and the man is a local self-employed businessman. As soon as Zhang Hongru appeared, he was a powerful and successful person.
The so-called big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimps, could not be more appropriate.
The matter was resolved, and the people who ate melons dispersed one after another. The little girl was still crying, Gu Yu knelt down and wiped away her tears, revealing a dirty face.
Yo!
He paused immediately, he had seen this girl before, she was the little kid who almost ran into peach blossom miasma after chasing a cat that day.
Zhang Hongru also recognized it, and felt very destined, so he asked with a smile: "Little sister, what's your name?"
"My name is He He."
"What about your grandfather?"
"Grandpa has gone out, let me stay at my aunt's house."
"When does he come back?"
"have no idea."
"Then have you eaten?"
"No, I, I really didn't steal anything, I just looked outside."
Seeing that the two were close, He He slowly stopped crying, but firmly denied the stealing. The two wanted to understand the situation, so they simply took her to a nearby dumpling restaurant for a meal.
The little girl was really hungry. She killed a catty of dumplings by herself, and she was embarrassed to have a swollen belly.
The three of them waited at her house until the evening when grandpa came back.
After telling the story, the old man quickly thanked him, and then Zhang Hongru asked again: "Old man, why did you leave your granddaughter alone?"
"I'm going to the city hall!"
Um
Zhang Hongru was taken aback, and asked, "What are you doing at the city hall?"
It's okay if you don't mention it, but when you mention it, the old man will get angry and say, "I'll ask them to reason! I live a good life on the island, why did you bring me here?"
"That, didn't it mean that there is poisonous gas? That thing is very dangerous, and it is also for safety." Zhang Hongru pretended to be passerby.
"Yes, I understand this! But it's been more than a month, and there is no movement at all. When can I move back?"
The old man became more and more angry, and said: "I waited for a whole day today, but no one saw me. If I was in a hurry, a small official came to fool me. I just want to know what that thing is. Such a big government will solve it." no?"
Tsk!
Zhang Hongru paused, and continued to pretend to be a passer-by: "Old man, don't you not like to listen to what I say. I heard that the government has given you a lot of resettlement fees. When you buy a house in the city in the future, your sons and daughters will be filial, and your granddaughter will be able Isn't it good to go to school?"
"Fart's resettlement fee, fart's filial piety!"
The old man became emotional suddenly, and his face was flushed red: "Her father has been divorced a long time ago and has been working outside. I raised the child by myself. I wrote to him a while ago, and I just came back. See you when I come back Money, just talk about doing business, you want the principal... I don't have this son!"
The old man couldn't go on, but after thinking about it, he knew that he must be extremely sad. And when he changed his voice, he suddenly started crying again, and the wrinkles on his face were crowded together, like a piece of shriveled and dead bark:
"I don't ask for anything now. If it weren't for this child, I would jump into the river and die at the mouth of the river!"
