47. Land changes
Hui Lan: Look, that puppy is so cute. Our family will buy one and keep it.
Jin Yu: Are you well-fed or arty? Our family does not have the conditions to raise a dog.
Hui Lan: Are there any conditions for raising a dog? Aren’t there many people in our community raising dogs?
Jin Yu: Don’t exaggerate, speak truthfully. In our community, there are more than 500 households, and less than one in 50 is tied to pets. How can this be called a lot?
Hui Lan: I'm just talking casually.
Jin Yu: It’s not good to talk nonsense. Our community is really nice. There are only a few families who keep pets, so they won’t scare the children.
Huilan: Why can’t our family have one?
Jinyu: There are many reasons, mainly two. First, you are busy with official duties during the day and dancing in the square at night. You are neither alone nor lonely. How can you have time to walk your dog? Secondly, although I don’t have as many friends as you, I
He is extremely independent. He can travel to the ends of the earth by himself and does not want to be tied down by pets.
Hui Lan: I just said it casually, do you still believe it?
Jinyu: Again, I’m just talking casually. You can’t talk nonsense.
Hui Lan: It’s really a bad thing, and I’m not just talking about it this time. The parking lot outside the community wall no longer allows people to park. The cars are parked on the side of the road, and some are parked on the sidewalk.
Jin Yu: This situation is really not wonderful. People and cars are starting to mix up again. Do we still need people to walk?
Hui Lan: What can we do? The land has been expropriated.
Jinyu: Did you say what the conscription is for?
Hui Lan: The "warm reminder" did not mention the name of the expropriation project, nor did it indicate which unit it was expropriated by.
Jin Yu: If it were built into an ecological park, it would be extremely beautiful. There are seven or eight residential communities within a few miles, and a leisure square is urgently needed. The leisure square in Shengtang Community is very good.
Hui Lan: It's a nice thought, but it's unlikely in reality. Urban land is expensive, so who would buy it at a loss?
Jin Yu: Imagination is always beautiful, and it would be even better if it comes true. If dreams come true, the surrounding residents will be blessed. The elderly and children can come here to take a leisurely stroll and exercise.
Hui Lan: Don’t think too wildly, but be realistic. If half of the project is built as a parking lot and the other half is built as an ecological park, that will be good news for more people.
Jin Yu: Before the answer to the mystery is revealed, it’s not a bad idea to have a dream.
Hui Lan: Over the past ten years, this piece of idle land has really changed a lot. First it was used for planting vegetables, and then it was all leveled. Later, half of it was hardened and half was left idle.
Jin Yu: The hardened land has attracted surrounding residents. There are many people who come here to stroll, play, play ball and chat.
Hui Lan: Later, it became a paid parking lot. The charging period was less than a year or two, and then it became a free parking lot. Time passed by for more than ten years, until April 20, 2020, I don’t know who took it back and erected it.
The iron fence has become what it is today.
Jin Yu: This piece of land has come to an end, and we still don’t know what it will be used for. Let’s wait and see.
Hui Lan: I hope it will get better and better and meet the needs of residents.
