A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 57 The back garden is a good place

Under the guidance of Section Chief Quan, Lin Sanqi finally saw his future "home".

When looking at it from a distance, Lin Sanqi was extremely satisfied with the water pavilion. Under the lush trees, there was an ancient water pavilion. How beautiful was the atmosphere?

But when you get closer and take a look, even a fool would know why no one chose this house.

One is being too lonely.

The back garden of the Gege Mansion is quite large, and there is just one lonely house. There are no street lights in the middle of the night, and it is dark and windy. Living here is like living in Lanruo Temple. You can definitely shoot a movie like "A Chinese Ghost Story" here.

The second is that the environment is relatively poor.

Originally, the back garden should be filled with the singing of birds, the fragrance of flowers, and the scent of lotus in the breeze.

But now is a period of natural disasters. I don’t know if it’s due to drought or the waterway being blocked, but there is almost no water in the pond behind the Princess’s Mansion, and no lotus flowers can be seen.

In addition, the property rights are unclear and no one comes to clean the garden. There is not even anyone to grow vegetables for fear of being robbed, so the entire back garden is an abandoned wasteland.

The third is that the water pavilion is too dilapidated.

The traditional water pavilion is a wooden structure. In order to convert it into a warehouse, it was partitioned off on all sides with wooden boards. As expected, it is leaky everywhere. It is okay in the summer, but it is completely uninhabitable in the winter.

Section Chief Quan took Lin Sanqi to the entrance of the waterside pavilion, took out his key and pushed the door open.

With a "creak~~" sound, Lin Sanqi saw clearly what was inside the house.

It was empty inside, with only some broken wood piled up. A few beams of sunlight shone into the house, and that was where the air was leaking through the gaps.

A musty and dusty smell wafted into Lin Sanqi's face, and it felt to him like an ancient temple encountered halfway in a martial arts movie.

The whole feeling it gives people is like "There are many fallen leaves in the courtyard, and I know it is autumn."

But there is good news. This waterside pavilion is quite large, with a floor area of ​​at least 30 square meters. No wonder it was used as a warehouse.

Section Chief Quan was also embarrassed to see this:

"Comrade Sanqi, this is what the waterside pavilion looks like. You still have a chance to regret it. Anyway, I don't want to live in this damn place. There are no neighbors around, and it's not popular at all."

How could others know what Lin Sanqi was thinking?

"Chief Quan, hey, I'm quite satisfied with this place. Look at how big this room is. Even if I get married in the future, I can add three more rooms. There will even be room for my children to live in. How beautiful."

Section Chief Quan burst out laughing when he heard this:

"Haha, you are really thinking far ahead. You should think carefully. If you choose this waterside pavilion, you will not be able to participate in the housing allocation in the future according to the policy. This is your only chance."

Lin Sanqi thought, I may not live here in the future. Even if I live here for a long time, why would I be afraid that I won’t be able to get a good house now that I have money and food?
"Chief Quan, I'll choose this one. This place needs to be cleaned up. I wonder if it needs bricks, cement, or lime. Can the hospital help solve it?"

"Ahem, well, well, the country is in trouble right now, and it's hard to secure all kinds of supplies. Our hospital doesn't have any extra building materials, well, well..."

Before Section Chief Quan could finish his words, Lin Sanqi had already stuffed a paper bag in his hand:
"Chief Quan, this is a pound of the best jasmine tea, take it and drink it." Chief Quan took it and then pushed it back as if he had been electrocuted: "No, no, this is a mistake."

But the look he gave the tea bag betrayed him. At this moment, Section Chief Quan must have been torn between his conscience and his desires, and he was just about to give it a push.

Lin Sanqi put the tea bag back into Section Chief Quan's hands and said with a smile:
"Uncle Quan, I call you Uncle Quan. This is your nephew's way of showing respect to you. It's a normal human relationship. Besides, I'm from the purchasing department and you're from the logistics department. We're not superiors and subordinates. There's no conflict of interest here. What are you afraid of?"

Section Chief Quan swallowed his saliva and lied to himself:

"Well, then uncle will accept it. Haha, Comrade Xiaoqi is sensible. So, I'll take care of the brick issue. I'll find a way, but there's really no cement or glass in the hospital right now."

In 1959, my country's cement production was only 700 million tons. The country was still engaged in large-scale infrastructure construction, and cement was an absolutely scarce commodity.

In comparison, the national cement production reached 2019 billion tons in 23.3.

Putting these two data together, you can see how precious cement was in 59, right? The same is true for glass. As long as it is an industrially produced building material, it is in short supply.

Others are worried, but Panax notoginseng is not in short supply. How much does it cost to get a few tons of cement and glass?

"Uncle Quan, I won't make it difficult for you. Just like this, you help me find a way to get the bricks, and I'll pay for them myself. I'll also find a way to get cement, glass and other materials, but you'll have to help me find a mason when the time comes."

When Section Chief Quan heard this, he patted his chest loudly:
"I'll take care of the workers. Our hospital logistics department has a construction team. It'll be no problem for us to bring them over to help with the work for a few days."

As soon as Lin Sanqi saw that the tea was taking effect, he prepared to make all his requests at once.

"Also, Uncle Quan, I'm the only one living in this back garden. I want to fence off the whole piece of land. Do you think it's possible?"

The water pavilion of the Gege Mansion was built facing south and facing the water. The south side of the water pavilion was originally a place for bonsai, so a wall was built in the middle of the garden with a round arch in the middle.

If the arch is blocked, the space for the bonsai will form a garden within a garden.

Lin Sanqi knew that no one wanted the back garden now, but after the natural disasters in a few years, the population of the capital would increase, and even houses would be built in the yards. Someone would definitely take a fancy to the back garden.

Instead of arguing with the residents in the future, it is better to occupy the land now.

Lin Sanqi didn't want to live in an environment like a slum, where even if he farted, his neighbors would hear him, and even if he ate something delicious, he would be discovered.

Section Chief Quan looked in the direction of Lin Sanqi's finger and laughed:
"You are a very shrewd boy, much smarter than your elder and second brothers. This waterside pavilion is more than 30 square meters, and this small garden is at least 200 square meters. Once the arch is closed, this will all be your territory."

Lin Sanqi chuckled, as expected his little thoughts were seen through, but he didn't care, so what.

"Uncle Quan, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I'm afraid that there will be too many children and no place to live in the future. I can build a few houses in the yard, so I'm preparing for a rainy day."

Section Chief Quan didn't really care. They were all public property anyway, so he didn't feel bad doing him a personal favor.
"Okay, you're lucky. While the ownership is not yet clear, I will register this waterside pavilion and small garden under our hospital. It will be a warehouse, and the street housing management office will not be able to interfere in the future."

After saying that, Section Chief Quan walked into the garden, looked around, and said to himself:
"Why didn't I think of the benefits of this garden within a garden before?"
