The driver was very good at chatting and said with the flow: "That's right! Such a good house, how can I buy it! The location is good, there are markets, squares and parks nearby, and I can't find such a good place even with lanterns."

Dad Xue echoed: "Yes! I don't need to stay or keep it, I can't bear to sell it."

The driver was afraid of the cold, so he quickly asked again: "Old man, are you going to 'Laoyuan Road'? You should be a local from the imperial capital, right?"

"Yes." Dad Xue said: "The local old man in the old imperial capital."

The driver laughed and said, "I really envy you locals! Old man, do you have an old house on 'Laoyuan Road'? I heard that a small dilapidated house can be sold for millions now! In just a few years, one million is stacked up, and it is rising almost every month. Especially after the villa area and several courtyards were built, the entire imperial capital was crazy about it! The old dilapidated houses that were not popular before were all the highest demolition households in the imperial capital in a blink of an eye, and any one of them came out casually were millionaires!"

"Oh." Dad Xue pretended to be stupid and asked, "That's great? The place used to be very old and the roads were small. Except for a few courtyards outside, it was barely beautiful. The others were dilapidated low houses, and young people didn't even look at them!"

The driver sighed several times, saying, "If I had known this, I would have bought two dilapidated houses for the 100,000 yuan I had saved a few years ago. Now I am a few millionaire!"

Dad Xue laughed and said, "I am not a prophet, how can I imagine the future? A few years ago, it is okay to buy a dilapidated house for about 100,000 yuan. The courtyard outside has a large area, so I can't buy it."

"One room is OK!" The driver said bitterly: "I deposited all my money in the bank, but nothing was useless except for a little extra interest that was not enough to eat. The money depreciated in the bank year by year, but the house prices kept soaring. It was okay if I didn't deposit the bank, but the more I deposited it, the more I couldn't afford a house."

Dad Xue said "Oh" twice, and told the truth: "The imperial capital has developed too fast in the past twenty years. Our old imperial capital is locals and has a little advantage. After all, we own real estate and land here in advance. Successful people from abroad have a lot of money, so they naturally don't care how high the housing prices are. Anyway, they can afford it. It is indeed not easy for workers to live and support their families. After all, it costs money to make money. The speed of making money is far less than the speed of soaring housing prices, so it's quite difficult."

"Old man, your words have reached my heart." The driver sighed and whispered: "It's really not easy to rent a house and support a family. Birds need a nest, otherwise there will be no female birds willing to lay eggs for them to live. The same goes for people. If you don't have a nest, you will always feel uneasy. Every time you are busy going back to your hometown during the Chinese New Year, you are most afraid of receiving calls from your landlord, either chasing you or raising housing prices. You have to be frightened during the Chinese New Year!"

Dad Xue laughed and whispered: "It's not easy, it's not easy."

The driver stopped waiting for the red light and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "When I returned to my hometown, I told my father and mother that the old city in the imperial capital was being demolished, and every family was at least a millionaire. A small dilapidated house could be sold for more than one million yuan. My father and mother didn't believe it at all, and I couldn't believe it no matter how hard I said it, I could only smile helplessly."

Dad Xue thought for a while and said, "If it were twenty years ago, I wouldn't believe it."

The driver stepped on the accelerator and asked, "Old man, then you must have an old house in the imperial capital, right? The place you lived in when you were young is now an old house. It is not within the scope of demolition? I heard that the old district has been included in the demolition area, which has been included in the demolition area for several years, sooner or later. Even if you are not a millionaire now, you will definitely be there in the future."

Xue, who was already a millionaire many years ago, was not happy at all and sighed: "This is the general trend and cannot be changed. My old house was later changed into a family ancestral hall. The ancestral hall was indeed included in the demolition area, and my cousin and my relatives were very sad."

This was a notice more than two months ago that the ancestral hall will be demolished at the latest in the spring next year.

"Isn't it good to change the old house to a brand new and bright suite?" The driver was envious and said, "If it was changed to a luxury suite, it wouldn't be too good!"

But Xue's father was frowning and explained: "That is the ancestral hall of our entire family, belonging to our descendants, a total of twenty-three households. According to the arrangement of the neighborhood committee, it is said that some compensation will be made based on the construction area. I am the oldest old man in our family, and I will receive it at that time, and it will be divided into twenty-three shares on average, and each household will get one. If the ancestral hall is gone, I will feel empty and very uncomfortable."

The driver couldn't help but comfort him: "Old man, it's wrong for you to think so! Society is constantly developing, and there are too few new urban areas, so you can only renovate the old urban area. This is the trend of development, and you can't stop it, and you can't make trouble... I guess others will not compromise, after all, what a good thing this is!"

"This is the general trend, and it's useless to make trouble, but it's certain to make trouble." Xue's father whispered: "I'll ask my daughter to think of a solution and see if she can fight for it."

After hearing the news, everyone in the Xue family gathered together to discuss what to do.

Of course, everyone is reluctant to give up on the old ancestral hall, but many young people are even more reluctant to give up on the huge demolition money. Based on the spacious area of ​​the old ancestral hall, it can be divided into about 10 million yuan. In addition, there are second-floor lofts in some places, so it can be calculated to make up about 20 million yuan.

If you divide it carefully, a family can earn about one million. For many people, this is a huge sum of money, so most of the descendants of the Xue family agreed to follow the trend of demolition.

Even though the older generation is reluctant to give up, they are not willing to go against the trend. Even if they are reluctant to give up, they can only endure the younger generation.

Xue’s father knew that his daughter had close contacts with other real estate developers in the imperial capital, so he asked her to find a way to see if she could try to leave a small courtyard house to worship the spiritual seats of the ancestors of the Xue family.

Xue Ling agreed without saying a word, saying that she would do her best to find a way.

He believed in his daughter's ability the most. Although there is no definite answer yet, he believed that Xue Ling would not disappoint him.

The driver pointed to the front and explained: "Old man, there is still a short section of 'Laoyuan Road' you are going to. Bypass this street, just ahead."

"Oh." Dad Xue said softly: "Don't hurry, just drive slowly."

The driver giggled and asked, "Uncle, you should have heard of the 'Sanxin Garden' over there, right? Recently, a very popular program on TV specially filmed the yard - it can't be too beautiful! The newspaper on the day before yesterday also specifically reported the garden, saying that it is the largest courtyard building in the imperial capital, and it also added some garden designs from the water town of Jiangnan, works by international master architects, first-class design and first-class work, and it is a priceless architectural masterpiece!"

"Oh." Dad Xue said, "I just want to go to this yard."

"Haha!" The driver couldn't help laughing and said, "Many people like to look inside when they pass by, but they are private residences and do not open to the outside world at will. I heard that the owner of the garden is the big boss of Ronghua Mall. I heard that if the designer had not wanted to shoot his own works to participate in the competition, the owner would not have agreed! The newspaper only took some corners and could not take pictures of the entire garden. Even if you are interested, you can't go in and see it. At most, you can only take a few glances outside."
