National Tide 1980

Ning Weimin's trip to No. 5 Courtyard of Dongsi Si Tiao was really worthwhile.

With the enthusiastic support and active cooperation of each household, the survey work was carried out very effectively.

Not only did he look at the three families living in the north, east and west of the second courtyard, he looked inside and outside carefully.

I roughly counted the residential area and population of these households, and learned about the basic demands of each of them.

When he went to see the house in Sanjin Hospital again, he even resolved a neighbor conflict that the police station couldn't solve, and quelled a bloodshed that almost came true in time.

The housing conditions in Qingqing's third hospital were much tighter than those in the second hospital.

After all, the earliest owner of this courtyard was just an ordinary idle clan, not a prince, a prince, a beizi, or a beile.

Therefore, his third courtyard is completely incomparable with the real three courtyards of the Prince's Palace and Baylor's Palace. It is just a small backyard.

Since the building could not be built, a row of seven north rooms with the same width as the front yard were built. As the residence of the female family members, the technical term is "back room".

As a result, the east and west rows of wing rooms are missing.

Although the population of the three families living here is similar to that of the second courtyard, the orientation of the house is also good.

But the housing area is much more crowded, almost as difficult as Courtyard No. 2 of Shan'er Hutong.

Moreover, there is no way for these three households to distribute the seven rooms equally.

The Liu family and the Ma family came a step late, and both only got two rooms.

Only the family named Hao came early and requested three rooms from the housing management office.

However, the Liu family and the Ma family both have a lot of children, one has three sons, the other has two sons and two daughters.

The Hao family has the smallest population, with only one pair of children.

All this has laid hidden dangers for future neighborhood conflicts.

Anyone who has experienced that era should know that 1976 is an unforgettable and critical year for Beijing residents who live in bungalows.

Because of the earthquake and the fact that fresh graduates no longer go to the countryside.

In almost all hutongs in the capital, self-built houses began to be built this year.

The neighbors of No. 5 Courtyard in Dongsisi Tiao are certainly no exception.

For residents in the first and second courtyards, because their houses are large, they only need to build utility sheds and small kitchens.

The Liu family and the Ma family, who entered the hospital for the third time, had to rack their brains to collect materials and occupy space to find housing for their grown-up children.

The Hao family is the only exception in this courtyard.

This year, the Hao family's daughter got married and left, and my uncle's family was not short of housing.

The Hao family's parents feel that even if their son gets older or marries another wife in the future, the house will be enough to live in.

So there is no racing to enclose the land like the Liu family and the Ma family.

In fact, it couldn't be more convenient for them to build a self-built house. In front of their house is a flower pond in the backyard.

This area is enough to build two self-built houses of more than ten square meters.

But the Hao family still wants to preserve this place and add a leisurely flavor to life.

Plant flowers and plants here, and build a grape trellis for shade in the summer.

Unexpectedly, the Liu family and the Ma family in the same hospital even built small houses because they had so many children.

As the educated youth began to return to the city in large numbers, they still felt more and more that there was not enough housing.

In this way, both the Liu family and the Ma family were thinking about the land in front of the Hao family and wanted to build their own houses here.

After the Spring Festival this year, let’s greet the Hao family together.

This certainly sounds unreasonable.

There are many unwritten rules of conduct in the large courtyards in the capital.

The most important thing is not to benefit yourself at the expense of others or cause trouble to your neighbors.

Although it is each family's own business to build a small house, they can only build it in front of their own house, behind their own house, inside and outside the walls, and they cannot block the sunshine of their neighbors.

Don’t hinder people in the yard from walking around, don’t get too close to other people’s windows, and don’t hinder people in the yard from getting water from public water pipes or doing laundry.

Of course the Hao family firmly disagreed.

But the Liu family and the Ma family really had no choice, so they had to join forces to coerce the Hao family into agreeing.

The three families quarreled and even got into a fight and went to the police station.

It is natural for the police to criticize and educate.

But then again, it is difficult for an upright official to stop family affairs.

What's more, even the housing management office can't handle the matter of self-built houses.

Due to the objective reality, in order for everyone to have a home, even if they know that the self-built house is an illegal construction, the housing management office can only adopt a laissez-faire attitude.

So the police station visited once and found that there was really no room in Sanjin Courtyard except for the flower pond.

They had no good solution to the housing dispute in Courtyard No. 5, so they could only work with the neighborhood committee to mediate separately.

This matter has been going on for at least two months. It happened several times and the police and the neighborhood committee made countless trips.

In the end, he managed to get through the Hao family's work in a harmonious way.

He agreed that each of the three families in Huachizi would occupy one-third.

The conflict seemed to have been resolved, but because the three neighbors got into a fight over this matter, which damaged the foundation of harmony, they stopped talking.

This lack of necessary communication made things worse.

Because the Liu family and the Ma family were anxious, they were holding back on dividing the land and were anxious to build their houses first.

The two families didn't discuss it. Anyway, you were on the left and I was on the right. In the first two days, we pulled bricks and built the house.

Well, the little space left for the Hao family can be enough to build a shack.

What's more important is that both of them started working while the Hao family and his son were at work.

When the Hao family and his son came back, they saw that both houses were half built.

Moreover, the wall of the house these two families built was extremely tight, just over one meter away from the Hao family's window. Not even a tricycle could be pushed in.

Can the Hao family and his son not be angry?

They immediately went to the police station and said that the Liu family and the Ma family were too bullying and no one else could do things like this.

Unexpectedly, the police were already annoyed and didn't bother to get involved in the matter anymore.

He actually turned a blind eye and said, "Since the wall has been raised, let's leave it like that. Your house is not lacking anyway, so stop fighting."

The Hao family's father and son returned home, very angry.

The father and son decided to work together to find someone to help demolish their house on Sunday.

Just like that, it's not even Sunday yet. The father and son really gathered three or five men and started demolishing the house with sticks.

The Liu family and the Ma family have just built a small house, and the mud has not yet dried. If you push the drum, it can easily turn into a pile of bricks.

So the Liu family and the Ma family were also anxious, and they all picked up kitchen knives to defend the small house.

Fortunately, when they started yelling and cursing in the backyard, they happened to catch up with Ning Weimin and Director Lu in the front yard.

Otherwise, if it hadn't been such a coincidence, they wouldn't have heard it and stopped it in time.

If these three families really take action, they will undoubtedly regret it.

Needless to say, the relocation plan that Ning Weimin could provide made the conflicts between the three families meaningless.

It can be said that this matter can be solved easily, and there is no need for conflict anymore.

As a result, the three people who wanted to use swords and guns were stunned on the spot, and they didn't wake up for a long time.

People looked at each other, not knowing whether they should cry or laugh.

But despite this, the grudges and grudges between each other are difficult to eliminate.

The son of the Hao family didn't curse a few words, but suddenly said harsh words as if he couldn't understand his hatred.

"Those surnamed Liu and those surnamed Ma, you can go and have fun. If the landlord hadn't happened to come today, we would have had to demolish your house! Even if you escaped today, you will be beaten!"

The other two families were not to be outdone. The son of the Liu family shouted, "You are so brave. If you have the ability, try it and see if I kill you alive!"

The son of the Ma family was also unconvinced, "Don't rely on the large number of people. If you really take action, let's see who is the coward!"

Director Lu was so angry that he loudly reprimanded him on the spot.

"Shut up! What on earth do you want to do? Do you want to go to a labor camp for those who want to be beaten and killed?"

"I'll beat you up if you want. It's better to beat people's brains into dog brains! It's just that I don't have to find a house for you. I'll hand you all over to the Public Security Bureau."

"We are all neighbors, why is this so? In the final analysis, it is a contradiction among the people. Everyone, calm down and don't argue with each other from now on. When you move away in the future, no one will be able to see each other. Already..."

Everything Director Lu said was true.

For this reason, the seemingly unsolvable dispute between the three neighbors about self-built houses finally came to an end.

It can be said that Ning Weimin did a good deed unintentionally and accumulated great virtue for himself.

You know, this conflict is not an extreme case these days.

These days, fights and quarrels over the construction of self-built houses are not uncommon in the living environment of ordinary people, and they occur in many places.

It's just that some are serious and hurt someone with their hands, and some are not so serious that they don't involve fists and kicks.

It can be said that self-built houses are the biggest and most important cause of neighborhood disputes in courtyard houses.

The fundamental reason for this contradiction is that self-built houses have subverted people's long-term psychological balance.

Originally, everyone lived together and had equal rights and obligations. No one had more or less than anyone else.

But self-built houses disrupted this balance, causing neighbors who had good relations to turn against each other.

This is especially true for residents who build their own houses on horseback, without any discipline or policy constraints. They can build whatever they want.

This will inevitably lead to irreconcilable conflicts and protracted long-term confrontation.

Without a buyer like Ning Weimin, I'm afraid none of these people would be able to get it.
