Chapter 613

Guo Suhua and Su Xingyun each held a receipt. At this moment, their hearts were much more at ease. This was a family business. With this, they would have nothing to fear in the future.

After going out, Su Xinghui said, "Mom, sister, brother-in-law, you go home first. I have something to do."

Everyone nodded, and Su Xinghui headed straight for the Post and Telecommunications Bureau. To go to the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, he was, of course, still looking for Hou Dali.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, Su Xinghui saw Hou Dali. He was still sitting on a small stool, reading a book, looking self-contented.

This character of Hou Dali was something Su Xinghui admired. He was different from those profit-seeking unscrupulous merchants. Perhaps it was this character that allowed him not to suffer such great losses in this wave of low market conditions.

Su Xinghui called out, "Uncle Hou."

Hou Dali looked up and said with a smile, "It's Little Su. Why, are you here to buy things again today?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes. Do you have any good things during this time?"

Hou Dali nodded and said, "Of course I do. Come, I'll close the stall now, and you come with me to my house."

Hou Dali quickly closed the stall and returned home with Su Xinghui.

On their way to Zhuangyuan Lane, they passed Nanmen Street. Su Xinghui saw that the residents of Nanmen Street were all gathered on the street, discussing something. It seemed they were talking about the demolition, and everyone was happy.

Seeing Su Xinghui's curious gaze, Hou Dali said, "The street has been promoting for the past few days, saying that the county will start the demolition and development of Nanmen Street after the New Year, asking the residents here to be prepared."

Su Xinghui said, "I see that the residents here are in quite good spirits."

Hou Dali said, "That's for sure. Nanmen Street is an old street of several decades. There are many people to begin with. Over so many years, everyone has given birth to children, and the whole family lives in such small houses. They can't live in them, so they can only build some sheds to live in. Not to mention the poor housing conditions, it's also dangerous. Who doesn't want to move into a new house? After this demolition and development, everyone here can move into resettlement housing. How can everyone not be happy?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "The Zhuangyuan Lane where you live won't be demolished, right?"

Hou Dali shook his head and said, "It won't be."

Su Xinghui asked, "Are you happy or unhappy that Zhuangyuan Lane won't be demolished?"

Hou Dali said, "Of course I'm happy. Zhuangyuan Lane is the foundation left by my ancestors. Even though most of the courtyards no longer belong to our Hou family, it was ultimately left by the Hou family's ancestors. I also hope it can remain forever. Otherwise, I won't have the face to see my ancestors after I die."

Su Xinghui nodded. He could, of course, understand Hou Dali's mood.

The two walked into Zhuangyuan Lane. Hou Dali said, "However, there are still some families in the lane who have opinions. They hope that Zhuangyuan Lane will also be demolished. Their housing conditions are too poor and cannot compare with my family's."

Hou Dali's house was returned to them after the implementation of the policy. Before the turmoil, this large courtyard was lived in by their whole family. Later, many people ran overseas, and now only Hou Dali's family lived there. His family's housing conditions were, of course, very spacious.

But the residents in other courtyards were different. They couldn't have a whole family live in one courtyard. They generally had three or four families living in one courtyard, and it was good if a family could have two rooms. With the birth of children, they also began to build illegal structures in the courtyard. With poor housing conditions, of course, they wanted demolition.
