The life in the Ninth District is like a stagnant pond; it was like this decades ago, and it's still like this decades later, without any change.
Sometimes, after hearing news about someone getting rich overnight by winning the lottery, people would all buy some lottery tickets, then continue living their unchanged lives.
It seems life itself is just this stagnant.
Thus, the changes in the Pigeon Cage Building appear particularly novel.
In the morning, the plumbing repair vehicles arrived, and brought two whole trucks of pipes and tools for clearing the drain.
The residents near the Pigeon Cage curiously observed the building.
They gathered around Zhang Qinghuan and asked, "What are you bringing these things for?"
Zhang Qinghuan smiled and explained, "The drains in this Pigeon Cage have been clogged for a long time. Once cleared, everyone can use the toilets at home and won't have to live like animals."
