The house that my family lives in is a step-ladder house that is almost 20 years old, with a total height of seven floors.
My family lives on the fifth floor, and Xiao Liu lives on the sixth floor. The 701 family on the seventh floor on the top floor only knows their surname: Fang. We don’t usually interact with each other, so we are not very familiar with them.
702 is a newlywed couple. They may have dinner at their parents' house and then go home, so they rarely meet.
Xiao Liu from the 6th floor and I often met each other going up and downstairs because we both went out at the same time in the morning. In addition, we both like drinking, and eventually we gradually became good friends.
Xiao Liu and I both bought new houses and moved in more than ten years ago.
The old man in 701 on the seventh floor bought a second-hand house later and moved in a few years ago. The couple rarely come downstairs, and they are even less familiar with it.
Neighbors today are very indifferent to each other. Unlike the employee dormitories in the old communities where we lived in the past, they were all employees' families homes of the same unit. Neighbors could visit each other casually and freely every day.
You see now, when we meet each other when we go out, we nod to each other. Some people don’t even bother to nod, pretending not to know you. Sometimes you want to say hello to him, but he looks expressionless and looks away. Ignore.
As time went on, everyone was like a puppet, expressionlessly entering and exiting the building.
Ouch, I have been talking for a long time and I still haven’t gotten to the topic I want to talk about today -
When Xiao Liu and I first moved into the community, all the residents in the building could go up to the rooftop at will, for example: go to the top floor to exercise and sunbathe. The sun, or planting some flowers, etc. are all fine.
However, no one in our unit building has been up there, and no one has time to go up there. I only went up there twice in total.
The first time I went to the rooftop was when I first bought a house. I went up to the top floor to observe the surrounding environment.
went up for the second time because he wanted to install solar water heater .
Normally when nothing happens, no one goes to the top floor.
Due to the epidemic last year, Xiao Liu’s wife lost her job and returned home, sitting around at home with nothing to do. She just wanted to go up to the roof to plant some vegetables or raise some flowers, and find something to do, so as not to get into trouble sitting at home.
Xiao Liu's son will take the college entrance examination in two years, and the family also needs someone to cook. So Xiao Liu's wife took care of her son at home and found something to do to pass the time.
That day, Xiao Liu and his wife went up to the attic and found that an iron fence had been added to the original wooden door and locked.
Xiao Liu thought it was the door locked by the real estate agent, so he went downstairs to find the real estate agent to open the door.
The property management staff also said inexplicably: "All the rooftop doors in our community are unlocked."
Xiao Liu called the staff from the previous property management company and followed him up to the roof of our unit to take a look.
Everyone came to the top passage on the seventh floor and found that the door was still locked.
The property management staff said: "We did not lock this. It might have been locked by Lao Fang, the resident on the seventh floor."
So the staff knocked on the door of resident 701.
After knocking for a long time, an old man in his sixties or seventies opened the door.
"Who are you looking for? What's the matter?"
The property staff said with a smile: "Uncle Fang, is this passage door locked in your home?"
"I locked it, what happened?" "
" Oh, it was you who locked it, Uncle Fang. Can you open it? Because this is a public passage and everyone living in this building can go up. "
" Who said I can't lock it? ? I live on the top floor, and this roof belongs to my house. No one is allowed to come up." After that, Lao Fang closed the door.
It was originally a trivial matter, but what Lao Fang said aroused Xiao Liu's stubbornness.
Lao Fang refused to let him go up, so Xiao Liu decided to go up.
The property staff shook his head, spread his hands and said, "There's nothing I can do about it, he won't let anyone go up."
After speaking, the staff quickly slipped away.
When Xiao Liu and his wife returned home, the more they thought about it, the angrier they became. They thought that you, Mr. Fang, had only been living here for a few years, which was incredible. You were not an old resident, so you locked the public access door as soon as you came. Don't let others go up.
The next day, Xiao Liu went up to the top floor again and asked Lao Fang to open the door, but Lao Fang didn't even open the door to his house and ignored Xiao Liu.
Xiao Liu was so angry that he shouted at the door: "If you don't open the door, I'll call 110."
"You call me! I'm not afraid even if the King of Heaven comes." Lao Fang's voice came from the room.
"Okay, I'll be more serious."
Xiao Liu really dialed 110. Within 20 minutes, Officer Zou, a nearby community police officer , rushed over.
After Officer Zou asked clearly what happened, he started knocking on Lao Fang’s door.
Lao Fang quickly opened the door and said to the police: "What kind of crime did I commit and you came to arrest me?"
Officer Zou smiled and said to Lao Fang: "You didn't break any law, but if someone calls the police, I have to call the police." Come on, come on. You come out first, open the passage door, and then we go to the roof."
Lao Fang went back to the house to get the key and opened the iron door.
The three of them went to the rooftop together.
Ouch! The rooftop is full of things to see, including rows of vegetables grown in foam boxes, flowers raised, and several rabbits kept in a cage.
No wonder Lao Fang doesn’t let others go to the roof.
Officer Zou began to do ideological work for Lao Fang: "The rooftop is a public area for residents of the community and is also a fire escape. Residents of this building have the right to use it together. You cannot lock it privately."
Lao Fang said : "If I don't lock it, people will steal my food and my rabbits."
Officer Zou added: "You can lock it, but you have to get a few more keys and give them to the residents who want to come in. If you If your things are lost, you can find them.
Such a large public area has become your own vegetable garden, so it can’t be used by just your family, right?”
The policeman patted Lao Fang on the shoulder and said. How about it? Comrade Lao Fang! This is my solution. You can't cause disharmony among the neighbors! We all live upstairs and downstairs. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. An old man lives here. If anything happens and his children are far away, the young man living downstairs can help you, right?"
The old man was silent for a long time, and finally agreed: "Wait for me a moment. Give the key to Xiao Liu and let him match it himself. "
This stubborn old man finally understood the truth.
Generally speaking, the door from the stairwell to the rooftop does not need to be locked in a seven-story building with a height of 289 meters.
If it is necessary to lock the building for safety reasons, it must be approved by the building owner before it can be locked.
Property companies and individuals are not allowed to lock at will.
