"Chinese New Year is in February, and it's freezing in the Great Northeast. Can we demolish or build then?"
Old Li pondered for a moment, "Isn't May Day too late then?"
"Not late at all!" Zhen Yu had calculated the timing before suggesting it, "The Demolition Office sets Chinese New Year as the relocation date, but you and I both know, there will definitely be holdouts who can't be negotiated with!"
"At the latest by Tomb-Sweeping Festival! We have to start construction by Tomb-Sweeping Festival! We must demolish then; otherwise, we won't finish building before winter comes!" In reality, Old Li knew that the Chinese New Year relocation date had room for delay.
Zhen Yu chuckled, "This time there's quite a bit to demolish and construct. My family's row of shops could be the last to go."
"That has to be decided based on the situation at that time. Right now, no one can be sure; I can't just agree to that!" Old Li said earnestly.
