Re: Ji'nan's "city village": the embarrassment of "sandwich zone"
27 days late at about 7, the night falls, Shuanglong Zhuang's only less than 500 meters of the main road to change the quiet day, began to bustle up, the restaurant along the street, from the city back to the village of tenants quickly sit, a few days ago in the side of the malignant cases, become the evening table. One of the things to talk about. One day after a busy day on a site near the South Road,
, 42 year old Zhou Baoqing, riding a muddy electric car, returned to the village.
westward along the main road, it becomes quieter and quieter, and people are getting less and less. The buildings built by the villagers were uneven, blocking the bright lights from the main road, and the village was plunged into darkness. 6 months after the arrival of
, the middle-aged man from Heze has gradually adapted to the strange surroundings and relatively inhabited environment.
before, Zhou Baoqing sold the building materials for 10 years in the rural home, almost forty thousand or fifty thousand of the income per year, but until now, he estimated that at least about 100000 yuan of debt did not come up, "all are acquaintances, embarrassed to open the mouth." After the birth of second boys in
, Zhou Baoqing felt a growing economic pressure. Finally, after the Spring Festival this year, under the agitation of the brother-in-law, he left his wife and children and came to Ji'nan to do the decoration.
the choice to live in Shuanglong Zhuang, is recommended by another relative. Besides the most important price, there is one reason that there is a large labor market nearby and convenient to live.
at first it wasn't every day. When he didn't work, he had to stay in a rental house. In order to kill time, he spent very little money on a 17 inch color TV set from the second hand market.
that is when he watched TV 26 evenings, he learned the vicious case that happened around him. Zhou Baoqing was not sure whether he had seen him in the TV screen with the mosaic suspect. But he did not greet him, let alone know.
here, even neighbors, everyone is just out of polite "nodding acquaintance", and most tenants come and go in a short time. He said goodbye to acquaintances society and came to "strangers society". He was very uncomfortable, but to his delight, he came to "save a lot of money".
red brick buildings like "sky prison"
in Shuanglong Zhuang for more than half a year, in addition to the 230 yuan per month rent and the good owner is more satisfied, Zhou Qing Qing does not really like here.
this 5 storey red brick building, like a four square wooden box, hollow, is decorated to prevent accidental wire mesh, each layer of more than 10 rooms tightly encircled together, a little bit loud, the next door can be heard clear, "some time in the evening, you can hear a few people snoring."
is in the bottom of the "wooden box", surrounded by rooms, or bright or dark. The rooms are tearing with interlaced clotheslines. Every day they are filled with shirts, socks and even underwear. Because the sun is unable to shine in, it gives out the heavy tide for years. "Clothes are going to dry for a few days."
if you look up from the bottom of the wooden box, you can only see a rectangular sky, which is really like "Heaven prison".
, sometimes, Zhou Baoqing will go up the stairs to the roof of the 5 floor, and look, "there are small windows around it," and every window is living with his almost plight.
the reason why he went to the roof is also very simple.
Zhou Baoqing's room is very small, only about 10 square meters, less than 2.6 meters of room height, making the room look smaller and smaller.
the room has a bed, a long table and a short table, a long table for TV sets, a short table for dinner, and no other decent furniture, and "no need". He didn't seem to be a family, in his eyes, it was just a part-time dorm, and that's why he didn't ask the landlord to repair the windows that had no burglar reinforcement.
about 10 days ago, it was heard from the landlord that a rape occurred on the two floor on the opposite side of the house. Apart from a few words of condemning the perpetrator, he had no more fear because "he was a man"; after seeing another malignant case on television, he still recognized "it was safe here."
his son went back to
return to the rental house, and before he could recharge the electric car, the 3 year old son came up and had a strong quarrel to eat.
27 days, Zhou Baoqing's dinner was not a usual cooking noodle. He bought a stir fry cabbage in a small restaurant near Shuanglong Zhuang, plus a piece of boiled peanuts, in order to "improve the food" because "the son came."
in July, after school summer vacation, the wife came here with two children. Half a year, see two sons, Zhou Baoqing is particularly happy, but two children are not so happy, the first time in the city for the summer, they feel "live no home good."
then, without waiting for school, the 13 year old son returned to his home in Heze, and told his classmates what he would say when he spent his first summer vacation in the city.
wife is also very uncomfortable, during the day Zhou Baoqing went to the construction site, she did not know where to go, only around. When she first arrived, she led two children to a nearby mall.
