The demolition office finally arrived.

Early in the morning, Wang Weiguo brought a group of people into the village and notified the village chief to call a meeting with representatives from each family. At the meeting, it was announced that they agreed to compensate for the labor and material costs of building additional houses.

The people in Yejia Village were almost in despair. In the past two days, everyone was frightened by the rumors outside. Now they suddenly heard from the demolition office that not only would the house be demolished, but they would also be compensated for the cost of adding another building.

They immediately stopped while they were ahead, not daring to make any more noise or even say a word, for fear that the demolition office would be so angry that they would go and demolish other villages.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the village committee was harmonious, and both sides put on decent smiles, and there was no sign of the fierce conflict last time.

"The surveying work starts today. Those who get surveyed early can choose their homes early. Are there any of you who would like to volunteer?"

"Me! Me! Me!" The group of people were as quiet as a chicken, which made Ye Ke's voice seem particularly loud.

Wang Weiguo looked down and saw, oh, it's this fool again!

However, this time he was smart.

Seeing Ye Ke raise his hand, his uncles hesitated for a moment and then raised their hands.

The other villagers remained silent. They were rather conservative, hesitant to venture into unfamiliar territory. They feared the first survey would be botched by the demolition office, so they secretly breathed a sigh of relief when Ye Ke stepped forward.

Ye Ke is a good child, she is kind.

Ye Ke raised his hand because he had his own little idea. If he measured early, he could choose a house early and get the money early. He could do everything faster than others.

This time, the orchard was demolished ahead of schedule, so there wouldn't be any accidents like in the previous life. But who could guarantee that the Liu family wouldn't do something else? Ye Ke still felt that it would be more reassuring to take the money and leave as soon as possible, and stay away from this group of people.

The elder and younger uncles followed suit and raised their hands purely because they trusted Ye Ke and didn't want anyone to stand out too much.

Wang Weiguo waited a few seconds to see that no one raised their hands again, so he didn't force it. He then added, "Okay, the three families who raised their hands will start measuring in a moment. The village chief will make arrangements for the rest of the people and draw lots to determine the order."

After Wang Weiguo finished speaking, he walked up to Ye Ke and said, "Lead the way, little comrade, let's measure your house first."

Ye Ke and his uncles were walking home with a few staff members from the demolition office. The crowd was getting bigger and bigger as they walked.

The villagers were curious! A group of them quickly drew lots, and after they did, they didn't even look at their numbers before running after Ye Ke, completely ignoring the village chief's calls from behind! There was still time to register later, but now they had to go to Ye Ke's house to see if the demolition office was cheating them.

Ye Ke brought her family and the relocation office into the house, leaving the gate wide open. Onlookers stood at the gate, looking in. Those who arrived late, seeing they couldn't squeeze in, leaned against the wall.

Ye Wenhui handed over the property certificate, household registration book and other documents to Wang Weiguo.

"Ye Wenhui, Ye Ke, right?"

The mother and daughter had never felt that their names could be called so beautifully, and they nodded quickly.

After Wang Weiguo confirmed the two people's information was correct, he told the staff to begin, first the house, then the yard. One person measured and reported the data, while another verified and registered it. Ye Ke's eyes lit up as he listened.

What a shrewd gentleman! Many of the house data are rounded up or down!

When recording, the staff will try to round the length as much as possible. For example, a room in the house that was added last month was only 4.7 meters long, but the staff registered it as 5 meters.

Ye Ke nodded confidently. Yes, her house was 5 meters long!

"Okay, take a look at the document. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Once you confirm everything is correct, you can sign."

Ye Wenhui took the document and analyzed it word by word with Ye Ke. She would point out any areas she didn't understand to the staff.

The staff member was just being polite, but he didn't expect the two of them to ask questions one by one. His mouth was almost dry from explaining.

Ye Wenbo saw the staff member licking his lips and handed him a bottle of mineral water with a tactful look: "You must be thirsty. Drink some water to calm yourself down."

Ye Ke looked at his uncle with a smile, he is indeed a civil servant!

The staff member took the water and poured it into his mouth. But after just one sip, half the bottle of water was gone.

Ye Wenbo took the opportunity to speak: "Thank you for taking the trouble to explain it to us. We villagers don't understand demolition, so we are counting on you. But you only need to explain it once to the three families, and we will listen together. When it comes to my family and my brother's family's turn, you don't need to explain it again."

Eat people with short mouths, and take people softly.

The staff, having drunk the water, were noticeably more patient, even speaking much more slowly. After understanding every detail of the document, Ye Wenhui solemnly signed and stamped her fingerprints.

Ye Ke felt like crying when she saw her mother's overjoyed yet forced calm expression.

Finally, the dust has settled. It is completely different from what Ye Ke remembered. She still remembers how her mother looked when she signed in her previous life.

At that time, something had already happened in the orchard. Ye Wenhui was exhausted and looked haggard. When she came to sign, she had no joy in her heart, only despair.

Yes, to Ye Wenhui, the demolition documents at that time were like a death warrant, meaning that she would soon be left with nothing.

There is no new life, and there is no old home.

After the staff collected the pile of documents, they gave Ye Wenhui a copy and carefully reminded her, "The demolition payment will arrive within five working days. Remember to check it promptly. You can now go and select your resettlement housing. Once you have chosen one, you must move out within a week."

After listening to this, Ye Wenhui nodded and bowed, thanking him repeatedly: "Thank you! Thank you!"

"You're welcome. This is what I should do." The staff member dodged to the side and turned to look at the two brothers of the Ye family: "Which of you two families will go first?"

My uncle humbly gave way and said, "My brother goes first. His house is nearby, just next door."

The uncle nodded, turned around and led the staff back to his home. A group of people outside the yard also followed to change the battlefield. Ye Wenhui, mother and daughter did not follow, and sat in the yard to calm down.

Ye Ke tried to calm down again and again, but found that he couldn't calm down at all.

He looked at Ye Wenhui with a smile, his legs jumping with joy: "Mom, our family has demolished much more than I expected!"

According to statistics and calculations by the demolition office, Ye Ke's homestead can be exchanged for a house of nearly 400 square meters. After all the houses are exchanged, they can still receive a compensation of 45 yuan. When the miscellaneous compensation such as moving expenses, resettlement fees, and bonus fees are added, the total amount is more than 57 yuan.

Hundreds of thousands more than in my previous life! Hundreds of thousands in 92! Isn't this like giving away several houses for free?!

Think again about the money from the orchards and barren hills.

From today on, her family will have a 400-square-meter house and more than 500 million in savings!

Ye Ke didn't want to work hard anymore! She wanted to lie down!

"Get up, is the ground dirty?"

Ye Wenhui was also happy, but she would not lie on the ground like Ye Ke.

Ye Wenhui let out a long sigh, relaxed her body and leaned back in the chair. The heavy pressure that had been on her shoulders for many years gradually dissipated with this action.

We are about to move out!

She was happy but also a little reluctant to leave, as this place held so many emotions for her, some sweet, some painful, all still fresh in her memory.

This house was the product of twenty years of hard work and dedication. They had laid the first brick together, and even scoured for used bricks for the fence.

The two supported each other during the difficult years, but when it was time to enjoy happiness, Liu Mingjun was gone. Fortunately, he left behind two caring daughters, so she will not be too lonely in the future.

"what!!!"

Suddenly, a terrible howl was heard, followed by a fierce quarrel.
