half-baked life

Chapter 53
The community where Liang Zhenying lives is less than 3 kilometers away from Lihuang Community. However, because it is in the inner ring road, there are many one-way roads along the way, and it is due to the renovation of the old community, so Jiang He spent half an hour in traffic jams before arriving.

However, it was difficult to find a parking space. She drove all the way from the street to the end of the street, but could not find a space. She had to park on Lanling Road next door, and then trotted all the way to the office of Lihuang Community. She ran so hard that her head was covered. Fortunately, I was not late.

The community office was unusually busy. The phones were ringing one after another. Many community residents were reporting the situation to the grid workers. Some people thought that stray cats and dogs were overpopulating the community. Some people were asking about how to purchase flexible employment social security. There were also criminal cases. Fully released personnel are being registered.

The most outrageous thing was the quarreling mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. They were crying and wiping away their tears, waiting for the grid officer to comment. The little girl who looked like she was only born in 00 stood between them with a dull expression on her face and she was about to cry without tears. .

"...How come the electrical rectification has fallen on our community again? This is not a waste... How can it be so easy to urge the landlord to rectify it? With your words, our subordinates will really lose their legs... Okay, I Got it, let’s wait until the documents are downloaded, my old editor is already so busy that I’m hitting the back of my head.”

A 35-year-old woman wearing transparent plate glasses and dressed very smartly walked out of the office quickly.

When passing by the quarreling mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she paused, "The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not good because the man does not play a good lubricating role in the middle. Xiao Li, please call Hu Haizhen over quickly. This mother My wife and I are almost beaten to a pulp, but how can I still think about going to work? I’m so generous!"

She cut the knot quickly with a few words, and the mother-in-law immediately gave up her intention of bullying her daughter-in-law, "Hey, Director Pan, you made a mistake... No, it has nothing to do with my son... Xiao Li, please don't call Haizhen, I It’s not really a big deal between the two of us, really.”

"Jiang He, right? Hello, I'm Pan Ke from Lihuang Community. Are you in a hurry? I'm sorry. You saw it too. We are so busy here every day that we don't even have time to drink water."

"No, no, I just arrived." Jiang He quickly held Pan Ke's hand.

"Then let's talk while walking. The office is too noisy, so I just want to take some time off."

The two of them walked side by side towards the Hualin Community where the bathing partner was located. Pan Ke briefly talked about his situation along the way.

"This person's name is Sun Qian. He is male. He is 69 years old. He suffers from Alzheimer's disease and high blood pressure. However, the problems are not serious. He has been taking medicine and has been able to control it."

"Uncle Sun is a lonely old man, right?"

Before Pan Ke could answer, Jiang He had already made a note on his pad. It was such an obvious thing, otherwise the community wouldn't have paid for him to buy bathing services.

"It's really not." Pan Ke's answer surprised Jiang He.

"Uncle Sun's situation, he is a bit special. He actually has a son, a daughter, and a wife. No one cares about him. In fact, I don't know much about the specific situation. I was just transferred here a few years ago, so it should be I thought he was confused and a burden, so I kicked him out and didn't pay him a penny in alimony. Now he's in a lawsuit!"

Jiang He's shocked expression amused Pan Ke, "This kind of thing happens a lot. If you worked in the community, you would be used to it."

"Then how will Uncle Sun live now? Is the pension enough?"

"When he was in business when he was young, he didn't have any pension. He just collected some paper boxes and plastic bottles and sold them to make a living. Then he got some help from our community and the help from his neighbors. Anyway, Life is not easy.”

Pan Ke obviously sympathized with Sun Qian, "Hey, we're here. This is Hualin Community. Uncle Sun lives in Building 3, 102."

"102? Is this floor the basement?" Jiang He's first reaction was that Pan Ke had made a mistake.

Hualin Community was one of the first batch of commercial housing built in the 80s. The first floor is a semi-basement, with only a small half of the windows exposed above the ground. Most people use this place as a warehouse to pile up sundries and so on. Very few people live there. Inside. "Yeah, there's nothing we can do about it. It's better to have a shelter from the wind and rain than to sleep on a bridge." Pan Ke said.

Jiang He was a little startled. Before she followed Pan Ke into the doorway of Building 3, she smelled a faint rotten smell. The further in, the stronger the smell became.

When she stood at the door of 102, the stench made her stomach churn. Jiang He unconsciously raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, but felt that it was not good, so he quickly put it down.

"Uncle Sun? Is Uncle Sun at home?" Pan Ke knocked hard on the liver-colored security door, but there was no movement at all. On the contrary, the neighbors upstairs heard it, and several of them came down with a huff. When Pan Ke saw , and immediately gathered around.

"Director Pan, you're here! Tell me about Uncle Sun. He just cleaned up this community a year ago. It's only been a month, and the garbage in the house has piled up again!"

"Huh? It's piled up again?" Panko was obviously shocked.

"That's right! Picking it up every day is just like that mouse moving... Look, if it doesn't drag the garbage back and come back, there's no way you can stop it!"

The aunt who spoke had a bright red gauze tied around her neck. She was so distressed that she stamped her feet, and the gauze was flying like a small flag to cheer her up.

Jiang He heard the grunting sound, which was the sound of dry wheels crushing the ground. She looked over and saw a skinny old man with dirty clothes holding his hands behind his back, dragging a trailer towards here. The truck was full of piles. There were large and small paper boxes, plus half a bag of plastic bottles, and seven or eight dirty empty oil bottles strung together. In addition, the old man was holding a half-man tall man in his arms who was so dirty that his true colors could not be seen. plush doll.

This person was obviously Sun Qian. As soon as he saw Pan Ke, he felt guilty and wanted to hide, but the aisle was so narrow and there was no shelter, so there was no way to hide.

"Director Pan, you are here."

Sun Qi'an faced everyone's disgusted, disgusted, and sympathetic eyes and dragged the trailer all the way to the door. He put down the rope, smiled cautiously, and tremblingly took out the key from his pocket and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Jiang He was shocked.

It was a large room that you could see all the way to the end. It was only 30 square meters at most. On the left was the kitchen and the toilet. The gas stove and the cooking pot on top looked like they were dug out of the garbage. There was a small half pot of noodles in the pot. At least it was from yesterday, it was already soaked.

There is a single bed at the end of the room, by the window. The quilt is quite new. At the end of the bed is an old wooden wardrobe. Next to it is a dining table for at least four people. Someone must have eliminated it and let him Picked it up.

Other than that, paper boxes and empty plastic bottles were piled everywhere, leaving only a narrow aisle for people to barely pass through.

"Director Pan, you see we are not talking nonsense, are we? If Uncle Sun does this again, he will definitely not be able to live here anymore. It's not that we have no sympathy, it's just that we are really scared."

"I understand, but this house belongs to Uncle Sun after all. No matter what happens, we can't let him live there!" Pan Ke still faced Sun Qian in the end.

"Then we can't let him ruin the whole pot of soup in our community with such a rat turd, right?"

The aunt in the ginger down jacket was obviously very angry, "I was thinking about replacing it last year. Because of him, the house price in our community is [-] yuan cheaper than the one next door!"
