Indecent and affectionate

Chapter 36

Seeing the woman by the door, one of them, a slightly bald old man with white hair, got up first and greeted her:

"Huh? Xiao Le is back."

Yu Zhile recognized him, Yuan Qiangyi, her elementary school teacher.When she was in her first year of high school, he was also promoted to be the principal of Chenfang Primary School.

When teaching her more than ten years ago, Principal Yuan's hair was not so thin, but his lean figure and big eyes that were not cloudy made him look hale and hearty even after he was over [-] years old.

Now that he has retired, the townspeople still respectfully call him Teacher Yuan or Principal Yuan.

Yu Zhile called out politely: "Teacher Yuan."

"Hey." The old man smiled and agreed.

Beside Yuan Qiangyi was her father, she could feel her father looking at her, but her eyes passed directly, as if he hadn't seen him.

Principal Yuan sat back, while Xu Zhen patted the empty seat beside him, and asked her to sit first with a kind face.

If she was really waiting for her, Yu Zhile walked over and took a seat.

It took a few seconds to analyze, and she found that all the people who came were elders who were quite famous and had the right to speak in the town.We all know each other, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Yu Zhi'an also followed her sister step by step, but was scared away by Yu's father saying "what are you doing here?"

Watching his son go back to the room, Father Yu glanced at Yu Zhile from the corner of his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "You still know how to come back."

Mayor Xu didn't understand, and asked, "Where did Xiao Yu go?"

Father Yu snorted softly, "Who knows."

After a conversation, Yu Zhile never looked at her father, she stared straight ahead with no emotion on her face.

Probably aware of the conflict between the Yu family's father and daughter, Teacher Yuan returned to the topic: "Xiao Le, you just came back, and we were talking about you."

He picked up a pack of soft drinks at hand, took a root and handed it to Yu Zhile.

Yu Zhile shook his head: "Thank you, no smoking."

"Stop doing?"

"No, this will not be smoked."

Smoking is a bad habit. Few women in the town like it. Yu Zhile is a special case, and everyone is not surprised.

Teacher Yuan didn't force it, and put a cigarette in his mouth, and then put the cigarette case back to its original place.

An old man next to him borrowed the fire, and he also lit his own by the way.

Mayor Xu looked at Yu Zhile and her father: "I already told your dad just now, but he asked us to tell you in person, so I opened the door. For our side, let's not care about what the young people think, but stick to it." No demolition. We don’t know why we don’t want to demolish it.”

The old man was laughing at himself: "Just treat yourself like a group of old people. You can't get over this hurdle in your heart. The older you get, the more stubborn you become. I can't bear to see this place go ahead of us."

"Mr. Jing came to me again before the Spring Festival, and he has already issued an ultimatum." Having said this, Xu Zhen said sadly: "Threat me, say that he will not take care of this matter in the next year, bother me, he will either put it down." The burden is on the government, or the demolition company is responsible, and if there is something wrong with the violent demolition later, don’t blame him.”

Yu Zhile: "..."

Xu Zhen continued slowly: "We know that you and Mr. Jing have a good relationship, and we want you to tell him again. There is no rush for the demolition. More discussions are better than hasty decisions."

Yu Zhile did not deny it, but asked: "I have a good relationship with Mr. Jing, who did you listen to?"

"Can't you see it?" Zhang Sitian's father added to the topic: "Tiantian will let her mother say that you are lucky, and there are tall, rich and handsome people who will pursue you."

Yu Zhile bent her lips, her eyes were open: "Is it related to his pursuit of me and my persuading him not to tear it apart?"

Teacher Yuan shook the ashes: "Don't think too much, Xiao Le, we're not here to force you, but you are the owner of the house we're sitting in, so you just have the heart to demolish it?"

Father Yu said contemptuously, and said that his daughter had ulterior motives: "You asked her to persuade the demolition agent? Before the old woman died, she couldn't figure out that she had to give the house to her. She wished that it would be demolished as soon as possible. After getting the money, she ran out to live a happy life. Unfilial daughter, You wanted to leave us and run away a few years ago, don't think your mother and I don't know."

In the end, the middle-aged man stared at her, very angrily.Yu Zhile laughed when he heard that, but didn't say a word.

After all, he is an intellectual, and Teacher Yuan was quite disgusted when he heard it: "Zhong Hai, why do you say that about your daughter? Your family has been thanks to Xiao Le for the past few years, and everyone is aware of it. Zhi'an is now a sophomore, and without Xiao Le, he Can't get into college."

Yes, for a while, echoes sounded.

"Yes, yes, she is amazing," Yu's father was full of sarcasm: "I have not been at home for several years, and she has come over me long ago."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Mayor Xu hurriedly came to the center and said slowly, "We are all a family, so what are you talking about?" He smiled kindly at Zhile: "Younger, I just want to ask, do you want to tear it apart in your heart? "

Yu Zhile remained silent.

Yu Qing, she didn't want to live up to her grandma's ten thousand orders;
Yu Li, it is the easiest and most appropriate to dismantle Chen Fang;
The curling smoke filled Zhile's nostrils. Many people hated the smell of second-hand smoke, but Yu Zhile got used to it. Instead, she found a little abnormal calm and sobriety in the overwhelming tobacco smell.

She began to sort out her thoughts, the black threads in her mind were still extremely messy, but there was only one that was different, it was white, suddenly rippling out of the turbidity, emitting a faint glow.

Yu Zhile opened his lips slightly, and asked back: "Sitting here, it will be useful to find me? You overestimate me."

Sensing that the girl was going to refuse, Teacher Yuan replied: "It's not that I overestimate you, we will try any method. It is also an opportunity for you to get closer to that side now."

Yu Zhile smiled subtly: "Then you are going to ask me to intercede now? Let Chen Fang give Chen Fang a second?" She paused for a few seconds and integrated her words: "The following words are not disrespectful to you Meaning, Mayor Xu also approached me once before, and I told Jing Sheng that he insisted on his opinion, and there was nothing more to say after that. I thought this matter would never come to me again, but what I didn’t expect was that it still happened today. coming."

"On the first day of the new year, you, the most respected and respected people in this town, came to my house together just to bet all the treasure on me, a junior?"

She was methodical: "I think you are wrong."

"You shouldn't be doing this."

An old man sitting opposite was very anxious: "Then tell me! What should we do! What else can we do!"

"We have all lived in Chenfang for so many years. I have 20 years, you have 50 years, 60 years. You who know everything about this place and are full of affection, but you have to put all your eggs in one basket and pin all your hopes on the enemy." She said The clang was powerful and woke everyone up almost instantly.

Teacher Yuan is a smart person, he already understood what she meant, and then gave his own opinion: "But we are old, we don't have the body and strength to fight, young people are not at home, even if we are, we may not be able to get a piece .”

Mouth was inexplicably dry, and Yu Zhile swallowed: "You come to me to intercede, what's the difference from begging the other side not to open it? Others are smashing at the door of the house, and you still have to kneel and kowtow and hug his legs beg for mercy?"

Yu Zhonghai couldn't listen anymore, and reprimanded: "What's your attitude when you talk to the elders?"

The old man beside him raised his hand: "Let your girl finish, she is right."

"My grandma said that Chen Fang was built by you and my great-grandfather's generation with hard work, sweat and blood..." As she spoke, she was a little blunt. I don't know if it came from her heart or her eyes: "I don't want to Rely on your own strength to protect it, but wait for the other party's soft-hearted charity, even if it can be delayed for a while, Chen Fang's fate of being demolished sooner or later will never change."

Xu Zhen was startled when he heard the words, he was speechless for a while, and then sighed for a few seconds: "What can we do? Just like what Lao Yuan said, everyone is getting old, what can we do? The era is no longer ours."

"The time is not yours, but the home is yours, the memory is yours, and the feelings are yours. Why do you love this place so much? Because it is our hometown, if you want to keep your home, don't you have to rely on yourself?" Yu Zhi Le kept her face calm. Regarding the sudden flash of light in her heart a few minutes ago, she actually didn't have much confidence, but she still decided to say it: "You are too old to be tough with them, but we still Can fight."

Teacher Yuan is now very convinced of the active minds of these young people and their thinking that keeps pace with the times.

His eyes lit up: "Say, what's your suggestion?"

The living room was bone-chillingly quiet, and someone stubbed out the cigarette, as if it could make a sound.

Yu Zhile glanced at everyone, several pairs of sharp eyes that had experienced vicissitudes and were full of expectations at this moment were all placed here with her.

She took a deep breath and slowly spit out her thoughts:

"I'm wondering if we can... apply for the World Heritage of our Chen Fang."

As soon as the voice fell, the room was silent, and then whispered.

A small town that looks insignificant to outsiders needs such a strange and grand appeal and retention, which makes everyone present dare not even think about it.

"It will be very troublesome." Someone raised an objection.

Yu Zhile replied: "How do you know if you don't try? The alleys of Chenfang are very distinctive, but judging by Beijing Hutongs, the possibility of applying for material cultural heritage is extremely small. But we don't have to apply for material cultural heritage. I remember Shanghai has a similar We have successfully applied for the national intangible cultural heritage. We can also try this, not only the architecture, but also the unique customs and customs here, the inheritance of crafts, our noodle, brocade skills, lacquerware crafts...you can try it all. .”

Teacher Yuan was quite surprised: "Did you just think of it?"

Yu Zhile looked forward to going back: "Yes, I went to Shanghai for a few days the year before last and visited Tianzifang. The alleys there are similar to ours, but the houses in Shanghai alleys are more western style, and we tend to be more Chinese style."

Speaking of this, the corners of the woman's lips curled slightly, and a particularly bright and confident look suddenly flashed in her eyes: "Did you find out, Chen Fang has so much capital, why is he not worthy of living? Isn’t it the best way to let us protect or protect us?”

What he said made Teacher Yuan's hair stand on end, but at the same time he was full of energy. He asked urgently: "Have you checked the process of applying for the World Heritage? Do you want to apply to the government? Now the government and business are very good, and I'm afraid it will be difficult."

This life-saving straw made Mayor Xu on the edge of the cliff finally regain his energy: "No matter how difficult the road is, you have to walk it. What if you get out?"

Yu Zhile took out her mobile phone to check, and people from both sides leaned forward to look at it. At the end, she replied: "Cultural department, the Cultural Department of the Cultural Bureau."

"Cultural Hall?" Teacher Yuan suddenly laughed, both cleverly and fortunately.

Next to him, Xu Zhen also thought: "Your family, Muran, works in the Provincial Department of Culture, right?"

Teacher Yuan excitedly took out his mobile phone, squinted his eyes and dialed: "Yes, what a coincidence! What a coincidence, I'll call him over now!"
