The morning light gently and deftly shakes the night down, and the sprinkled light reflects the Xishan Community in the center of Yinan County, and the scene in front of it is a beautiful large-scale freehand painting in anyone's eyes. Zhang Ziheng stood on the spacious balcony on the 13th floor, looking at the scenery in the community, and forgot himself for a while.
Zhang Ziheng has the habit of morning exercise, and before returning to the Xishan community, the morning exercise is basically in Wolongshan Park. On the first morning of moving back to Xishan Community, Zhang Ziheng got up according to the rules of the biological clock and prepared to go to the park to play tai chi several times. Downstairs, the wide square already has some neighbors playing their favorite sports. Zhang Ziheng's heart lit up, the elegant and quiet environment in the community is not much inferior to the park, why bother to go to the park for morning exercise.
Playing tai chi requires a relatively quiet venue to achieve the realm of forgetting both things and forgetting. A pavilion surrounded by green bamboo, alone in a corner, outside the green bamboo is a green grassy lawn, between the lawns growing leafy trees, there are birds with gentle voices singing among the branches and leaves. Zhang Ziheng forgot the purpose of coming here, and only enjoyed the scenery in front of him.
After several trips to Taijiquan, Zhang Ziheng, who was full of Tai, did not rush back upstairs, and he scattered along the road in the community. The road is lined with neatly trimmed flowers, butterflies dancing in full bloom, and bees kissing on fragrant scents. Zhang Ziheng's heart was full of the feeling of swimming in the middle of the painting.
The tentacles of memory quietly climbed up the wall of the heart, and the dirty and messy Xishan community three years ago suddenly appeared in front of the eyes.
The two main streets in the north and south are not wide, and the streets are crowded with private shops, vehicles are parked in an orderly manner, small traders and vendors set up stalls at will, and commuting time is chaotic into a pot of porridge. There used to be a garden in the community, which used to be green and red. In his spare time, Zhang Zi often went to the small garden to take a look around. I don't know when, gradually the small garden was reclaimed by some residents into a small vegetable garden. Nowhere can you find a place to relax in the large community.
Along the mottled walls along the street can be seen everywhere casually posted small advertisements, small advertisements all the way from the street to the corridor of each building, from the first floor to the fourth floor, climbing a staircase of one step and one step, the eye is a variety of advertisements, there are posted on the wall, there are directly in ink with ugly handwriting on the wall, you want to avoid it. Zhang Ziheng's heart every day is like a clump of hay.
Nearly 2,000 households, the garbage generated every day on the side of the street of their respective buildings, at the end of the day is a large pile, flies flocks, bed bugs piled up, pedestrians are all covering their noses and rushing by. The most feared rainy season, a heavy rain, rainwater mixed with the sewage gushing up the sewers.
At that time, the Xishan community was not just a "dirty" word, for a while, Zhang Ziheng would suddenly wake up every night. He was heartbroken by the storage room below. One dawn the other day, Zhang Ziheng went downstairs to the storage room as usual, the door of the storage room was half open and half hidden, his heart "clucked" a little, and his intuition made him feel that something would happen. Sure enough, the newly purchased electric bicycle parked in the storage room disappeared.
Capable neighbors have gradually moved away from the Xishan community, and Zhang Ziheng is also looking forward to one day leaving the Xishan community, which has been regarded as a "slum" by the outside world. In the spring of 2018, Zhang Ziheng looked forward to the spring news of the transformation of the shantytown in Xishan Community, and like most residents, Zhang Ziheng was excited. Under the inspiration of the party's policies, the vast number of residents of Xishan Community actively cooperated with the shed reform.
In just 8 months, the Xishan community of 1,900 residents has successfully completed the demolition, creating an impressive "Xishan speed". Zhang Ziheng understood in his heart that all these achievements were inseparable from the feelings of the county people's government for the people.
Back upstairs, Zhang Ziheng's mood is still difficult to calm, the brick and concrete floor structure of the tube building where he used to live, a family of 4 nests in a bucket room of less than 60 square meters, because it is a prefabricated floor slab, there is a crack in the joint of the floor slab for a long time. One time at work, there was water running upstairs, and his house became a "water curtain hole", and the covers on the bed were soaked. Cool sunshine can not solve the problem, had to replace the new. Due to the inability to centrally heat the children, the hands of the children in the cold winter are frostbitten. Zhang Ziheng also can't forget the briquette stove used for cooking on the fire, and the soot and oil smoke are mixed together, and the throat and eyes will smoke. That wasn't all that, the tired, almost collapsed feeling of basket after basket of briquettes moving up to the fourth floor made him shudder when he thought about it.
The current new home has been uniformly installed with heating and gas facilities before the delivery of the relocated households, and the winter will become a beautiful April day on earth, and cooking will become a new life experience.
Now the three-bedroom, two-living and two-bathroom house, the family has a separate bedroom. In the past, there were two narrow bedrooms, two of them, one for the daughter, and one for the son. In the past, when I got up in the morning and went to the bathroom, I urged each other. Zhang Ziheng's biggest headache is this level every day, he suffers from constipation, the toilet time is long, and he is most afraid of being disturbed in the middle, in order to avoid embarrassment, he gets up an hour early to go to the toilet. Now there are two bathrooms, which suddenly solves the problem that could not be solved before.
Thinking back to the hardships of the past, looking at the comfort in front of him, Zhang Ziheng's heart was hot, the spring tide of joy surged through, and his eyes were suddenly moist.
