Chapter 703: Abandoned Factory

The abandoned factory in the old district of Rongcheng was, to put it bluntly, a factory that existed before liberation. In the early 1960s, no one was managing it.

This factory used to make clothes, a garment factory, and the boss never seemed to come back. Some people speculated that something might have happened to the boss a long time ago.

The factory is located in the center of the shantytown. To put it simply, it actually has a history of many years. Not only does the shantytown have many years of history, the government is also preparing reform measures recently, and there are also developers who have taken a fancy to this land. He said that he could have a reasonable negotiation with the residents of the shanty town and that the hard days would be over soon.

…

Parked the car on the outskirts of the shantytown. In fact, most of the shantytowns in this era have been reformed, but not all of them. The living conditions here are poor. It’s not that the residents here want to be like this, because the people living here Most of the people are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the environment in the commercial street in the new district is simply the same as the sky and the earth.

They are also diligently looking for jobs to support themselves, but most of them are women, the elderly and children, so no matter how hard they try to find jobs, some people can't find any jobs at all, because some of them don't even have identity cards. They didn’t have any certificates. They came from various provinces and cities. They were originally going to seek refuge with someone. However, the development of Rongcheng has changed too much. Some people have been searching for three to five years but have not been able to find their relatives. In the end, they have There was no money left, so he had to settle in a shanty town.

The streets are very clean, but the houses in this shantytown can only barely protect against wind and rain, and even the bricks and tiles on them are incomplete.

Although these old houses are better than the shantytowns before liberation, compared with the houses in the city, they are like heaven and earth.

There were some old men wearing thin, patched clothes, sitting in the doorway to bask in the sun. They were all skinny. Seeing this scene, Suo Longqi frowned and asked:

“Are there no welfare homes or nursing homes in the city?

What is this thing called? "

Zhang Jiacheng and Li Hai from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau looked at each other, and Li Hai said helplessly:

"Welfare homes and nursing homes also have certain limits on the number of people they can accommodate. I can't blame them for this. After all, there are so many elderly people and children here, and they have families. Their families may not necessarily be willing to send them to nursing homes!"

Although Suolongqi understood this truth, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Jiacheng sighed and said in a deep voice:

"The government is already working on a solution. The first thing is to register the identity information, and then let the developer record it. After the house is built, everyone here will probably be able to get one!"

“Who else but the government will provide money to help these people these days?

But fortunately, every elderly person, over sixty years old, can get fifty yuan a month. "

After hearing this, Suo Longqi's expression softened a little. Everyone can get fifty yuan. Although their life is still not very good, it is enough to live on.

Sighing slightly, Suolongqi said in a deep voice:

"Let's go and see that factory."

The old couple, one named Zhang Mei and the other named Zhang Guo, are both from other places, but they have been in Rongcheng for thirty years. They have been making a living by mending clothes for people, but they are the ones who sew clothes for them. , are also residents of shantytowns. After so many years, they have actually not been able to save much money.

I heard that the old couple seemed to have a son, and they came to Rongcheng just to find his son. However, there has been no news of their son for thirty years, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to find him.

After learning this fact, Suolongqi was also filled with sadness.

No one's life is easy, at least in Suolongqi's opinion, the life of this old couple is hard enough.

The three people walked along the path and walked into the shantytown. They also had a lot of feelings. If they didn't walk here once, they really wouldn't know that there are still people living like this in Rongcheng. They can only barely feed themselves. Zhang Jiacheng has recorded all this. After coming down, I planned to go back and mention it to the above. Although the effect was minimal, it was better than not saying anything at all.

Suo Longqi didn't say anything, just like what Li Yi said, there are too many people in need of help in this world, and what we can do is really limited, but if we encounter them, we can help them, which is also a good relationship. After all, if we fall to this level in the future, we will also hope that someone will lend a hand to help.

Some things have to be said before they are done, and some things have to be done before they are discussed. Suolongqi decided to discuss it with Li Yi when he went back. This matter must be handled properly.

Several people quickly arrived near the factory. There was a rusty fence outside the factory, and a large part of the words on the sign on it had fallen off. Now only the words "Garment Factory" are left, and it was still in the 1950s and 1960s. What remains.

It stands to reason that this is actually a building that will be demolished soon.

But when they entered the factory, they discovered that things were not as simple as they thought.

There are many children here chasing each other and playing, and some children are flying kites. It sounds like a happy scene, but it looks completely different.

The clothes these children were wearing were very old and washed white, and the kites could barely fly, but the smiles on the children's faces were dazzling and dazzling at the same time.

When Suolongqi saw this scene, he didn't say anything. He just took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket for the first time, took out one and lit it. He had never smoked before, so he brought this box back with him. I bought two full ones for Qin Li. The owner of the cigarette shop gave me an extra box, so he kept one box for himself.

After taking a puff, it didn't reach his lungs, so he just blew it out again.

"Let's go and find out where the old couple are!"

After Zhang Jiacheng said something to Li Hai, he walked directly into the factory.

The scene inside the factory was very lively. A dozen people gathered around and were looking at some pictures. When he looked closer, Suolongqi immediately recognized that these were the best-selling clothes in the clothing store. Design drawing?

But it was obvious that someone had done this. It was impossible to draw such a picture just by relying on the old couple!

There is someone else behind them!

What is this person’s intention?

Zhang Jiacheng had already walked up and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, let me ask, who knows where Zhang Mei and Zhang Guo are?

We have something to do with them! "

The dozen or so people turned around. They were all from shantytowns, mostly women, and there were a few men.
