my gilded age

Chapter 6 The Subtle Connection Between Demolition and the College Entrance Examination
It must be said that the two requests Bai Shiqiu made at this time are really strange, especially since there is basically no connection between the two things.

However, Bai Shiqiu knew very well that these two things were closely related to him!
But it’s hard for others to understand, even relatives...

My mother felt very strange when she heard it, "Xiaoqiu, what do you child care about this matter? Just study hard."

"Yes, Qiu, this...yours...this...haha..." Grandpa was very embarrassed. It was all caused by his own children. His old face was already full of wrinkles, and he could only smile awkwardly at this time. , the ravine became deeper.

However, Bai Shiqiu had already thought about it.

He said very seriously: "This house is a big deal. I, a junior, shouldn't have to deal with it, but just give me a way out. If I fail to pass the college entrance examination, I will rent out multiple houses in the future. No." Can I still live a good life? It can solve my psychological worries and it will be of great help to me when I get into college. In addition, if I really don’t get into college, then I can save the tuition fees and move back to my hometown. I've paid the money. Of course, these are all bad consequences. Let's not talk about it for now. If I get admitted to a university in Beijing, wouldn't there be a free room in our house? Grandpa and grandma can If you come and live there, you don’t have to rent outside even if it’s being demolished.”

Listen to this, what a filial child.

However, there is a key point in this statement, which is to mechanically connect the two things of demolition and college entrance examination.

Bai Shiqiu, he did it on purpose.

Bai Shiqiu's memory of the demolition of Shatukeng was too deep.

It was almost at the same time as Bai Shiqiu's college entrance examination. After all, it was long-awaited, and many people reacted to the problem of the corrupt building. Although it didn't matter in the end, at least this was a factor.

It is undeniable that the place name of Shatu Keng is very unfashionable, but if you really think about it, this place is less than two kilometers away from Northeast First Street, the most prosperous place in the provincial capital.

If demolition happens again ten years from now, regardless of whether these are shantytowns, a large number of second-generation demolitions will definitely be born.

At this time, most people in the provincial capital did not have this sense. Now people think that it is appropriate to exchange bungalows for buildings. The conditions of the bungalows are so bad. Several houses have one well and they can only use public dry toilets. The buildings are so good. Therefore, when I move back, I have to pay more to go upstairs, but later on, I won't leave until I get dozens or hundreds of people.

If you want a house, you have to move back to the same place. This is the choice of most adults in the province at this time. However, Lao Bai's family did not ask for a house when they were demolished. They asked for money and left.

What else could it be?
Make a fuss!

The second aunt's house is very close, and we come here to make trouble every day. You two old guys favor the boss. Our family wants a big house, so we can't take advantage of the boss!
Bai Shiqiu also has two aunts, both of whom are married and have children, but they know that the demolition will also come back to cause trouble this time, so they can't let the boss take them all!
With such a fuss, the faces of the Lao Bai family have been lost to no one knows where on earth.

So, my grandparents discussed with my parents and decided to simply demolish the house and separate the families!

I received compensation money for the demolition. Is this fair to be divided among the four children?No favoritism, right?
After that, my grandparents came to live with us, and the other three families were happy.

Originally, this solved the problem they were having, but...

Losing big!
If my grandparents’ house is demolished and they don’t have a house anymore, they will come to live with us. It’s okay, of course, but they have to have a place.So, my parents didn't ask for a house. They took the demolition money and used the demolition money to sell the original building. In this way, they could buy a big house with three bedrooms and one living room, which was enough to live in.

And you know, the house in Sha Tu Keng is only two kilometers away from the bustling city. Grandpa and grandma also have a small courtyard. Later, let alone the place, even the houses near the First Ring Road cost hundreds of thousands.

But if you change a house like this, the compensation will be very small, so you can only change to a house far away.

The difference between going out and coming in is at least hundreds of thousands. What is it if it's not a big loss?
Bai Shiqiu may not want his grandparents’ house, but what about his parents’ house?
He doesn't have to, but his parents have an extra house in their later years, and it's still a house in such a good location. Isn't it possible to live a more comfortable life these days?

Since he wants to change the fate of himself and this family, there is a key point in front of him, how can Bai Shiqiu not copy it mechanically? !
In fact, Bai Shiqiu himself knew that the connection between demolition and the college entrance examination was not so blunt, and he was quite clever.

The last time Bai Shiqiu failed in the high school entrance examination, the whole family summed up the experience. The main reason was excessive psychological pressure. The most important task at the moment, the highest priority was to get into college.

Bai Shiqiu said that if this can solve his worries and reduce his psychological pressure, can he still agree?
"Okay! Qiu'a, I'll do whatever you want." Grandma agreed directly!

"Then we've settled it!" Bai Shiqiu was very happy.

Although Bai Shiqiu is more scheming about this matter, his starting point is really good.

After experiencing the demolition, Bai Shiqiu grew up a lot, especially in terms of emotional intelligence, because he really saw too many things, including ugly ones, stupid ones, kind ones, and filial ones.

The second uncle, the second aunt, and the two aunts, the troubles and things they did were beyond words.

In fact, if the three families can endure it, when the house comes down, the grandparents will die one after another in a few years, and the three families will not be divided into hundreds of thousands?

In the end, he split a few thousand yuan and walked away happily thinking that he had taken advantage.

The most special thing is his second uncle and second aunt. Because they wanted to take advantage of it, they had a fake divorce. As a result, the fake divorce came true, and the second aunt ran away with the money.

After all, are grandparents really partial?
In fact, a lot of things have been kept for them, and in the end it is not a fair division of the family, but they don't know it, because they usually don't come to see it, even the second uncle's family who are very close to each other.Bai Shiqiu has seen a truly partial old man. The old man would not go to the home of his doting children to take care of themselves, because they knew that they would cause trouble to their children when they grow old.

The grandparents were really heartbroken and did not want to see the other three children.

Why do they think their parents favor the eldest son?
It's very simple. When my parents first moved from this shanty town to the building, it was a renovated house in my mother's factory. It cost nearly [-] yuan. The other three families felt that their grandparents must have helped with this money, not to mention. The whole thing is also a big part of it.

Otherwise, how come you, boss, can live in a new building immediately after renovating one room? ,

In fact, housing reform is a matter of luck. A factory with more than 1 people is really like buying a lottery ticket, and you need to be rich.

Bai Shiqiu can be sure that the money to buy a house is the hard-earned money of his parents, which is why he refused to pay [-] yuan for the option.

But once the three of them have that idea, it may be just a very small seed at first, but it will grow in the future, and eventually bear vicious fruits, which not only harm themselves, but also harm others.

But, is this really a solution?
Will my grandparents, parents, and parents really listen to me?
Will you really choose to move back to the same place?
Bai Shiqiu is no longer a child now. He knows that this matter is not over yet, or in other words, it has just begun.

I returned to my own home from my grandparents' house, a building outside the Second Ring Road. It was good to be able to live upstairs at this time, but it was indeed a bit remote.

"Xiaoqiu, why do you want to become an art student?"

"Mom, it's because I want to enter an art school."

"Why do you want to go to art school all of a sudden?"

"Mom, don't you think your son is very handsome, and it would be a pity not to become a big star?"

Although he said he was supportive, as soon as he got home, he had to have a heart-to-heart talk with his son without even changing his clothes.

However, when Bai Shiqiu threw out a reason like 'I am so handsome, it would be a pity not to be a star'...

My mother was speechless for a moment.

That's right, in the eyes of the mother, her son is the most handsome, the cutest and the most beautiful when he was a child. He even competed with others in the factory for photos of his children and always looked down on the other girls. There was nothing he could do about it. Taken out, that's simply:
Relying on the sky to slay the dragon, who will fight for the front.

Those big eyes, double eyelids, pink little mouth, and even one year when she got mumps, a little girl saw it and said it was so cute, and even asked to take a photo with her... Mumps, I don't have enough skills. Normally half of the time, you would have sunk in, hum!

He became even more handsome when he grew up, and his mother often said that the stars on TV were not as good as her own son.

So, how do you argue with being a mother?

However, Bai Shiqiu knew very well that handsome, this was just a small reason, the really big one was something else, and at this time, he still had to talk about it.

"Mom, Dad, let me analyze it carefully for you."

"Okay." They said in unison and sat down on the sofa.

Bai Shiqiu did not waste any time, "The current situation is extremely dangerous. My grades are at the bottom, and there is only more than a year left. I am not a fool who doesn't know the reality. So how to solve the grade problem? One year's time Do I have enough time to surpass most of the candidates? The possibility is extremely low. This is not because I belittle myself, but because I have a clear understanding. Then, I can only find another way."

"Oh, I understand." Mom is a sensible person after all, "Art candidates have lower requirements for cultural courses!"

Bai Shiqiu continued: "For the art exam, I prepared in two directions, one is acting and the other is drama. These two can form a high-level match and give full play to my advantages."

Bai Shiqiu also had the experience of drifting to the north and abroad, and later wrote scripts. Therefore, these two directions are definitely his advantages, but he cannot say this.

But my mother understood immediately, "Xiaoqiu is still smart!"

Taking advantage of one's own advantages is one aspect, but on the other hand, Bai Shiqiu has other means...
