Crossing 1992: Contracting a barren mountain and becoming a huge demolition household

When Ye Ke and Ye Anan came to watch the fun again the next day, they saw that the young man from yesterday had also moved a small stool and sat in the seat where Ye Ke had sat yesterday. When he saw Ye Ke, he waved to her, and then moved the small stool to the side, leaving two seats for Ye Ke.

So you're here to help reserve a seat?

Ye Ke and Ye Anan hurried over and put down the small stool. After seeing them sit down, the young man took out a few oranges from his pocket and handed them to Ye Ke.

Ye Keli Shang fed him a few more packets of snacks. The young man asked, "Sister, do you come here every day?"

Ye Ke nodded, "If nothing unexpected happens, yes."

The young man said politely, "Then I'll help you guys save seats from now on, okay?"

He pointed to an old house across the street and said, "That's my house."

It’s less than fifty meters away, no wonder he could come so early?

Ye Ke stuffed another bottle of soda into his hand and accepted it with a clear conscience.

The next few days were still a tug-of-war between the demolition office and the residents being relocated.

The only thing that changes every day is that the residents take turns to take the stage, one after another, working together to fight the demolition office in a round-the-clock battle.

But it's the elderly who are making trouble.

Ye Ke whispered to Ye Anan, "You guys have a strategy, right?"

Ye Anan waved her hand, "I'm not among 'you', no one notified me."

It can't be said to be xenophobic, but Ye Anan, a young man who just moved here not long ago, really has no chance to integrate into the group here.

A young man nearby heard the two of them talking and explained, "It was a pre-planned discussion. The ones arguing with the demolition office now are all retired senior citizens."

Since I'm retired, I don't have to worry about whether it will affect my work. And for the elderly, sometimes being old and in poor health can be an advantage.

At least the demolition office across the street was so upset that it lost its temper.

What can you do? If you speak a little louder, the old man and woman across the street will clutch their chests and gasp for breath.

However, the demolition office has a soft attitude and has not given up on its bottom line. After so many days, these old men and women have not been able to negotiate any conditions.

The two sides fell into a stalemate.

Ye Ke held his chin in his hand: "Alas, it's still because of poverty."

Because I am afraid of being poor, I want to seize this opportunity.

The area compensation given by the demolition office is actually similar to that of Yejia Village. In fact, because Wanhe Street is in a prime location in the main urban area, the unit price is even higher.

However, no matter how high the unit price is, the total price is still very little in the end.

Because the area of ​​each house is too small.

Almost 80 percent of families have only one house of 50 to 60 square meters, where six to seven people, or even more, live together.

And each family has nothing else to compensate except that small room.

Unlike Yejia Village, not only are the houses themselves large, but every household also has a yard, private plots, and allocated fields, and all crops on the ground will be compensated.

Some diligent families also develop other businesses, such as the Ye family's orchard, the village chief's fish pond, and Ye Guangming's lotus pond...

Only by combining all these things can the demolition payment be increased.

Even so, many families in Yejia Village are reluctant to spend the money they received. After all, for many elderly people who are in charge of their own homes, although they received a large sum of money for demolition and relocation, they paid for it with their entire family property.

As they enter old age, having lost the land they rely on for survival and a place to put down roots, many people feel adrift. This panic forces them to hold on to their money tightly.

If the times had not developed so fast, if prices had not skyrocketed, if money had not depreciated, their conservative approach would actually be nothing wrong.

No one can predict the future, let alone this group of elderly people who have been trapped in the small space of Yejia Village since childhood.
