Chapter 126 -126 Demolition is Coming

About half an hour later, Mengmeng and the others got off the station.

What met their eyes was the azure sky, motionless white clouds, red brick tile houses, quaint siheyuans, and the small alleys filled with climbing roses.

“What a beautiful place.” Tong Mo, unable to help herself, jumped up and tugged at the rose vines on the wall as she walked.

“No matter how beautiful, it’s pointless. I heard from my dad that this area is about to be demolished. See those siheyuans over there? Aren’t they all torn down?” Lu Zichen threw cold water on the idea and pointed towards a place several hundred meters away, gesturing for her to look.

Turning her head to look, Tong Mo saw that indeed, the houses in the distance had all been knocked down, and the walls that hadn’t been demolished were also marked with large “Demolish” characters.

“Then Mengmeng, will your and Gu Zhihan’s homes also be torn down?” Tong Mo, turning her head back, hurriedly asked Luo Mengmeng with concern.

...

Luo Mengmeng blinked her eyes and shook her head, “I don’t know, my parents haven’t mentioned it. Let’s not worry about that for now. We should go pick some jujubes to eat.”

“Right, let’s go eat first.”

Tong Mo also cast the problem aside.

The jujube tree was now over two meters high, with lush branches.

“It’s so tall, how are we supposed to pick any?” Seeing that the jujube tree was so high, Tong Mo immediately fretted.

“Yeah.” Mengmeng also noticed this practical issue and was just about to suggest getting a ladder when Lu Zichen volunteered, “What’s so difficult about that? You two just stand here and wait to eat. I’ll climb up the tree and pick them for you!”

As he spoke, Lu Zichen slapped his chest and then turned around, agilely climbing the tree like a monkey.

“But isn’t that too dangerous?” Mengmeng couldn’t help but worry as she watched him hopping up and down the tree.

“Mengmeng, you’re actually concerned about me, I’m really touched,” Lu Zichen said, tears welling in his eyes.

“That’s not what I mean.” Seeing that he misunderstood, Mengmeng quickly explained, “I’m just worried you might accidentally fall, and my family would get stuck with the blame…”

Lu Zichen’s heart shattered in an instant.

“When there’s such a simple way, why use such a dumb method?”

At that moment, an indifferent voice came over.

Gu Zhihan had somehow appeared with a long stick in hand, and then he raised his arms to tap gently on the branches laden with jujubes, causing the ripe, red fruits to fall “rat-a-tat” to the ground.

Compared to Lu Zichen’s jumping and scurrying up the tree to pick the jujubes, Gu Zhihan’s method was truly simple and convenient.

Lu Zichen immediately felt dejected, sensing his IQ being suppressed again!!!

“Quick, pick them up—”

Mengmeng and Tong Mo quickly dashed forward, bowing their heads to pick up jujubes on the ground and stuff them in their pockets.

Rains of jujubes poured down as the young boy kept tapping the jujube tree, while the young girls gathered the fruit below.

This scene was too beautiful for words. Even though many years later this place would no longer exist, including the jujube tree itself, the memory deeply engraved itself in Mengmeng and the others’ minds.

Yes.

Mengmeng’s and Gu Zhihan’s homes were about to be demolished.

One afternoon, a month later, Luo Mengmeng and Gu Zhihan had just gotten off the bus when they saw several luxury cars parked at the entrance to the alley leading to their homes.

Many neighbors had gathered around to watch as well.

In an era where private cars were still not widespread, luxury cars were something that most people had never seen, inevitably causing a sense of wonder.

“Why are there so many cars?” While everyone else was amazed by the luxury cars, Mengmeng remained nonchalant, for she had already seen countless luxury cars on TV dramas.

(Mengmeng: I’m so cool it’s off the charts, hand on hip)
