Chapter 30 Moving
The police officers who came were very diligent. After they visited Tan Kuan's house, they checked upstairs and downstairs and found several more cracks.
It would be very dangerous if people continued to live in this place.
But the police were not professional construction professionals, so they did not dare to say when the building would collapse. So they helped contact professionals to take a look and also contacted government departments.
After He Shu returned home , he began to worry. If he couldn't live here anymore, where should he move to?
Looking at the home where he grew up, He Shu felt reluctant to leave. This is where all his memories of him and his mother are…
Testing and subsequent arrangements cannot be completed in a day or two.
He Shu still has to go to school and can't stay at home waiting for the results.
But he was also afraid that if the building collapsed during the few days he was at school, what would happen if his mother was buried? ...
After much thought, He Shu did not go to the car wash on Saturday. He took the card he didn't want to touch and took his mother's urn to the funeral home where he went last time.
The owner of the funeral home still remembered He Shu. When he saw him coming with the urn and wanting to see the cemetery, he immediately agreed.
"Which one do you want to see? The one from Shi Qingshan?"
He Shu shook his head: "No, let's go see the newly developed area."
If you're going to buy something, buy a good one. Since you can't wait for him to save money slowly and have to use the money in the card, just buy the best one.
He will slowly save money and put it into the card later.
I originally thought that I could take it slow and spend more time with my mother, but now ... there's nothing I can do about it.
…
The driving time to Paradise Garden is much shorter, and it only takes less than 20 minutes to get there once you leave the city.
The gate of the cemetery can be seen from a distance. It is built as magnificently as an ancient building.
From the roadside to the cemetery, the asphalt road is wide and flat, with lush green plants on both sides. The environment is really great.
He Shu chose a sunny slope, a single grave in the middle, and the total cost, including the tombstone, was 36,800 yuan. If no ceremony was held, the cemetery would help with the burial.
He Shu didn't understand what the ceremony was about. His mother had passed away four years ago, so there was no need to hold any ceremony.
He did not continue to choose a date and buried his mother on that day.
It took some time to carve the tombstone. After completing the formalities and paying the money, He Shu did not let the owner of the funeral home wait for him because he wanted to stay a little longer.
Flowers for memorial services are also sold at the cemetery. After the tombstone was erected, He Shu bought a bouquet for his mother and then sat next to the tombstone for the entire afternoon.
"Mom, I will come to see you often in the future."
After burying his mother, He Shu returned to his previous life until half a month later, when he came back from school and found a notice posted on the door.
This building is going to be demolished, and He Shu has to find a place to live within two months.
There is also the issue of demolition compensation later, and a phone number is left on the form for consultation.
Seeing this, He Shu knew he had to move.
He looked back and saw that the door of Tan Kuan 's house was closed and there was no movement at all. He wondered if the final assessment would show that the old building was in danger of collapse because he had smashed the load-bearing wall.
If that's the case, then I'm afraid his family has to bear a great responsibility.
After taking down the notice, He Shu went into the house and started to pack up the household items.
He wanted to take away everything he could.
After checking the time, He Shu took out his cell phone and called Uncle Zhao. Whether it was about renting a house or demolition, He Shu didn't know anything, so he decided to ask Uncle Zhao.
When Zhao Qishui heard that He Shu was going to rent a house, he asked him to wait at home.
Less than half an hour later, Zhao Qishui arrived. When he entered the room, he first looked at the notice, and then looked at the large and small bags that He Shu had sorted out.
"Are you going to take all these?" Not to mention the clothes and bedding, there are even pots and pans.
Zhao Qishui was a little amused: "You don't have to rent a house. It's dangerous for you to live alone in an unfamiliar place. I have a place to live. You can just move to my house."
"That won't work."
"Why not? I live alone, and the place is big enough. Besides, you only stay two days a week, why would you rent a house? Are you so rich?"
"But..." He Shu still felt embarrassed because he had so many things.
"Stop talking so much. I think what's written here is pretty dangerous. Let's just move it tonight."
With that said, Zhao Qishui asked He Shu to continue packing and take away everything that needed to be taken away. He first carried a few bags of things downstairs to deliver them back.
There are too many things to move in one or two trips.
Zhao Qishui didn't give He Shu a chance to refuse, so He Shu had to continue packing his things obediently.
In fact, he doesn't even know where Uncle Zhao's house is.
After a while, Uncle Zhao came back and brought Brother Dong with him. The two of them moved things downstairs together. It took them nearly half an hour to come back.
The house is almost cleaned up. It seems like there is nothing there, but after I finished cleaning, I found that the house is obviously much more empty.
He Shu looked at every corner again and again with reluctance, he really didn't want to leave.
There are also some furniture that cannot be taken away, such as this big round table that has been there since He Shu was born, and the legs are so rusty that they cannot be put away.
The paint on the table has all fallen off, but He Shu has eaten and done his homework here over the years, and his mother's ashes have been placed here for several years.
When Zhao Qishui and Xiao Dong came back again, He Shu had already carried the last things.
"Yeah? You're leaking horse pee." Xiao Dong pointed at He Shu's red eyes and laughed, and was kicked by Zhao Qishui.
"Come on, He Shu, let's go home."
After closing the door and locking it carefully, He Shu looked back several times before going downstairs with Uncle Zhao and Brother Dong.
In this building, He Shu might be the last one to receive the notice, but he was the first to move out.
Uncle Zhao didn't ask He Shu to drive today, but asked Xiao Dong to drive. He sat in the passenger seat and looked back at He Shu in the back seat.
"If the old doesn't go, the new won't come. In fact, you know that this day will come sooner or later. Even if there is nothing wrong with this building, you will leave sooner or later in the future."
"It's good to leave and change the environment. You are still young, how can you always live in the past? Young people should be energetic and always look forward..."
Zhao Qishui said a lot, and it was not known whether He Shu had listened to him or not, but Xiao Dong nodded very considerately, saying that the master was right.
This earned him a lot of eye rolls from Zhao Qishui... This little Dong is just looking too far ahead, and has no foresight at all.
The car quickly drove into a residential area not far from the car wash. This residential area was almost ten years old.
Zhao Qishui took He Shu into a building and climbed to the sixth floor, panting from exhaustion.
"Here we are... Oh, I should have bought a lower floor. I am too old to climb now."
After opening the door, Zhao Qishui went in first and turned on the light. There was a large living room inside, and the floor was filled with large and small bags moved from He Shu's house.
Xiao Dong comes here often. As soon as he enters the door, he goes to the kitchen to get some water to drink. He climbed several times today and was very tired.
Zhao Qishui ignored him and took He Shu to visit his house. His house was about 100 square meters, with three rooms, and the decoration did not look new.
One room is where Zhao Qishui lives temporarily, and the smell of cigarette smoke can be smelled when you open the door.
The other room was locked and left for his son Zhao Yan. Zhao Qishui did not show it to He Shu. There was another empty room, so he prepared to give it to He Shu.
