Chapter 617 4 Courtyard Demolition



Chapter 617 4 Courtyard Demolition

After chatting with Yan Fugui for a while, Wang Jianjun went to the backyard to do some simple work on his two old houses.

The tables, chairs, beds and other furniture inside were directly put away and stored in the space. After all, they had been used for more than ten years and I had developed feelings for them.

Perhaps because he is old and nostalgic, Wang Jianjun himself is reluctant to tear down these two old houses.

After returning to Sijiucheng, Wang Jianjun made a special visit to He Daqing.

He Daqing was very excited to see Wang Jianjun coming. He specifically asked Sha Zhu to prepare a table of his specialty dishes to entertain Wang Jianjun.

He Daqing is now officially retired and no longer works at the stove. He usually stays at home and enjoys his retirement.

At the table, He Daqing, Sha Zhu and his wife, and He Yushui were eating with Wang Jianjun.

After knowing that Wang Jianjun came to see He Daqing, He Yushui took a special leave to meet him.

At this moment, He Yushui is already an old lady who is almost fifty years old.

Qin Huairu, who was once the leading actress in Siheyuan and the most beautiful actress in the drama, is now an old lady.

Of course Shazhu is older now.

The few of them talked about the past, and He Daqing also lamented the changes that had taken place in the city over the years.

In the past, being able to buy a bicycle in a courtyard house was considered a big deal.

Now He Yuzhu drives a car.

Everything that happened in the past seems to have happened just yesterday.

The only thing that makes He Daqing sad is that many people of his generation are no longer with us.

"I'm getting old. I don't know how long I can live at this age."

As He Daqing drank, he began to sigh.

He Yushui on the side couldn't help but poke it with his hand.

"What nonsense are you talking about? May you live a long and peaceful life."

Wang Jianjun smiled and comforted him, telling him to take good care of himself and look forward to meeting his great-grandson one day.

"Haha, I'm thanking you for your good wishes. When that day comes, remember to come and have the full moon banquet."

"Okay! It's a deal!"

After reminiscing about the past with He Daqing and hearing from He Yuzhu that the leader was in poor health, Wang Jianjun specially found time to visit him.

The fact that he has been able to do business so smoothly in the inland in the years since the reform and opening up is thanks to the care of this old leader.

The senior leaders have been in poor health as they have aged, and most of them are now bedridden.

He was also very happy to see Wang Jianjun.

I specifically pulled him aside and talked to him a lot.

After so many years of friendship, Wang Jianjun didn't want his old leader to have such a hard time in his later years.

So he was given two primary genetic medicines simulated by Wang Yifei in the laboratory.

And ask the top leaders to keep their mouths shut and not reveal the existence of this medicine.

The senior leader, who had personally experienced the magic of the medicine, understood it and said he would keep it a secret.

During the period, the leader also asked about the situation of old man Chen.

He felt relieved knowing that he was fine.

The year before last, under Shen Chuxia's persuasion, Old Man Chen finally agreed to go to Hong Kong to retire.

Now I'm traveling around Hong Kong and living a very comfortable life.

A few days later, the compensation for Wang Jianjun's two houses was negotiated.

The total loss for his two rooms was 90,000 yuan.

Ninety thousand yuan may seem like a lot in this day and age, but it is actually too little when you really calculate it.

Wang Jianjun came from later generations and naturally knew how expensive it would be to demolish a courtyard house in later generations.

He was too lazy to care about so many things.

Now he earns more than this amount in a day.

Liu Haizhong, who lived in the same backyard with him, paid more than him.

But Liu Haizhong was not happy at all.

I'm almost dead, what's the point of having more money?

Lao Liu is also a tough guy.

If you say you won’t give the money to your son, then you won’t give it.

After receiving the demolition compensation, he directly contacted the nursing home and applied for himself and his wife to live there.

Jia Zhang from the Intermediate Court was also taken away by Banggeng and his wife.

In the front yard, Yan Fugui moved to Yan Jiecheng's new home.

These days, people are carrying large and small bags and moving luggage out of the compound at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang every day.

After everyone left, the construction team drove an excavator over and demolished the courtyard.

In the future, high-rise buildings will be built here.

And everything about this courtyard will become a thing of the past.

Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The second year after the courtyard was demolished.

Wang Jianjun received a call from Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng told him on the phone that Yan Fugui had passed away.

Upon hearing the news, Wang Jianjun went back to the courtyard to see him off.

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang did not show up at Yan Fugui's funeral.

It was Yan Jiecheng who took care of the funeral and was responsible for breaking the basin for Yan Fugui.

Old Yan passed away at the age of over 90, so it was considered a happy funeral.

So there's no need to be too sad.

Perhaps it was because his father left him a large inheritance.

Or maybe the father and son truly reached a reconciliation in their final days.

Yan Jiecheng was rarely generous and held the funeral in a very grand manner.

It can be said that Old Yan left in a dignified manner.

During the chat, Wang Jianjun and Yan Jiecheng learned that Liu Haizhong died the year before Old Yan passed away.

Compared with Yan Fugui, Lao Liu is not so lucky.

Nursing homes in this era are no different from those in later generations, and are even worse than those in later generations.

The caregiver can only ensure that you don’t starve to death, and he won’t care about other things at all.

The old couple were in poor health to begin with, and Old Liu even had a lame leg.

Especially when there are a group of elderly people waiting to die around me.

In such a depressing environment, Liu Haizhong and his wife lost hope of living.

After enduring this for more than a year, Mr. and Mrs. Liu finally couldn't bear it anymore and passed away one after another.

The first to leave was Lao Liu’s wife Li Xianglan.

Less than a month after his daughter-in-law left, Liu Haizhong also followed.

He was still dead and was discovered by a nurse the next day.

At that time, Lao Liu still had a lot of money in his bank card.

When the three brothers of the Liu family received the news of their father's death, they rushed to the nursing home and were eager to take their father's body back to deal with the funeral arrangements.

The three of them could not reach an agreement and finally decided to handle Liu Haizhong's funeral together.

As for the remaining money, they will share it together.

After the three brothers brought Liu Haizhong's body back, they went to the bank with the death certificate to withdraw money.

When I got to the bank, I was dumbfounded.

It turned out that when Old Liu was about to die, he tricked the three brothers into dying.

He made a will directly, stating that his money would be donated to the country when he died.

The three brothers Liu Guangqi worked hard but ended up working for nothing.

The three unwilling people clamored to get their money back, but were finally kicked out by the bank staff.

After returning, the three of them started arguing again.

Because now Lao Liu’s body has been brought back by them.

We have no choice but to arrange his funeral now.

But none of the three brothers wanted to spend more money.

After arguing so much, the three of them simply contacted the crematorium and took Lao Liu to the crematorium to be cremated. They then left the ashes at the cemetery and left them there alone.

And one year after Yan Fugui's death.

He Yushui also called Wang Jianjun.

He Daqing also left.

Old He eventually passed away before his great-grandson was born.

But He Daqing was lucky.

He once abandoned his family and children and left the city with a widow.

Now that I am old, I can live out my days in peace in this city.

He was accompanied by his children and grandchildren before his death.

Compared with people of the same generation, I am lucky.
