A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 60 No One Wants You to Live Well

"You want to tear down the pavilion and rebuild it?"

After finishing his meal, Lin Kucan was happily drinking the Tieguanyin tea that his son had given him. He frowned when he heard what his son said.

Jin Caifeng smiled and looked at her youngest son lovingly:
"It's time to tear it down and rebuild. We are not poor. The house is too dilapidated to be habitable. If there is a heavy snowfall, we will be crushed to death if we sleep inside. This kind of thing happens a lot in Beijing."

Lin Sanqi served tea to his mother and nodded repeatedly: "That's right!"

Who would have thought that the usually Buddhist Lin Kucan would actually shake his head:
"You guys, you only think about being comfortable, but forget what era we are in now? Everyone can't even get enough food, and every family is squeezed into one room and lives a miserable life. But we have a good life and we still want to build a new house? This is really hateful.

You underestimate human nature. For example, in our hospital, everyone was poor and in trouble, and everyone was mentally balanced. But if someone becomes rich overnight or is far ahead of them, the result will only make more and more people jealous.
Others are jealous, and they are not doing well. How can they let you have a good life? They will report you to the street office or the unit, and make up something out of nothing. If they make a big deal out of it, saying that we have petty egos and hedonism, I am afraid that the unit will not be able to pass the test. "

Jin Caifeng was also shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly advised:

"Oh, I didn't think of that, son. You're not even working yet and you're asking the government to build a new house for you. It'll be troublesome if you get sued."

After hearing this, Lin Sanqi was frightened and recalled some scary things he had searched on Baidu.

If the neighbors think that our family is a bad group, we will be in big trouble.

Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi stood up nervously.

"No, I have to find Section Chief Quan. I won't build this house anymore. I'll just live in that shabby house."

Lin Sanqi thought that at worst he could travel back to 2023, saving his life was the most important thing.

Jin Caifeng also stood up impatiently: "Come on, mom will take you to Section Chief Quan's house to explain everything."

"Sit down, what's the hurry for you two?"

Lin Kucan tapped the table lightly, motioning for his wife and son to sit down.

"It can still be repaired. If you want to live comfortably, you can only do something inside. The outside should be shown to be as broken, rotten and old as possible, so that people will feel pity for Qizai and laugh at his misfortune.

As for the interior, first of all, the walls are thickened. You can't feel it now, but the winter in the north is really unbearable, so the walls are thickened to 37 centimeters, commonly known as centimeters wall, which improves the warmth retention.

If conditions permit, building a fire pit or a fire wall like the people in the north would be a very good way to keep warm. But coal is hard to buy now, so we have to overcome the difficulties to keep warm. "

Lin Sanqi's eyes were darting around.

Is keeping warm a problem? You can just install a fireplace indoors. You can buy one on Taobao for 1,000 or 2,000 yuan. It burns wood, so it won’t be too warm.

"Okay, old man. I'll tell Section Chief Quan tomorrow that we won't touch the roof or the exterior walls. Make them as shabby as possible. Make sure everyone who hears about it cries and feels sad, as if I'm living in a doghouse."

Lin Kucan was choked and knocked his son's head:
"That's the truth. You can't say that. How can you call the place where you live a doghouse?"

Jin Caifeng suddenly asked, "It costs a lot of money to build a house. Did Section Chief Quan tell us how much budget is needed?"

Lin Sanqi waved his hand and said indifferently:

"I will take care of the money issue myself, so that my second brother and his wife won't accuse me of being a parasite~~~"

Lin Sanqi deliberately spoke loudly, and it turned out that walls have ears. Pei Xuehua put her ears to the wall and was relieved to hear that her brother-in-law had solved the problem of building a house by himself.

Lin Duzhong felt a little embarrassed and pulled his wife: "Okay, okay, how can children listen to their parents?"

Pei Xuehua snorted softly:
"You wild little brother, you may have learned how to eat, drink, gamble and have sex in the past 10 years. Look at him, he has to eat big pancakes and fried dough sticks in the morning and big fish and meat in the evening. If you don't know, you would think there is no famine in our country.

He only cares about eating and drinking. Where did he get those food coupons and meat coupons? They were given to him by our parents!

My parents are really partial. They gave all the good things to their youngest son, and when they gave us money, they only gave us a little money, and didn’t give us any receipts.”

Lin Duzhong was annoyed after hearing this, "Alright, alright, stop talking."

Lin Zhenzhen was also unhappy when she heard her mother saying bad things about her uncle:
"Mom, my uncle is the best. He gives me delicious food."

Pei Xuehua was even more upset when she saw that her husband and daughter did not support her:
"Go away, go away. I'm annoying when I see people with the last name Lin."

In the evening, Lin Sanqi went out late at night, using the excuse of buying construction materials from an old friend, but in fact he was going to the Ma Temple in the west of the city.

Mashen Temple is quite far from Daqudeng Hutong, more than 8 kilometers away. Lin Sanqi passed Jingshan and walked west along Funei Street and Fuwai Avenue.
In 59, the size of the old city was far smaller than it is today. Outside the west of the city, the suburbs such as Shijingshan and Mentougou were not far away.

It is called an effective area, but in fact it is a mountainous area, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a wilderness.

Where there are mountains, there are wild animals. Anyway, there is no wildlife protection law these days. In the first few years after liberation, hunters all had guns, making hunting convenient.

In an era when food supply was not guaranteed, these wild game became a precious source of "meat".

However, the country has regulations that if you kill a pheasant or rabbit, you can eat it yourself, but if it is a large animal such as a wild boar or sheep, you must hand it over and individuals cannot deal with it.

The problem is that everyone has selfish motives.

They climbed over mountains and risked their lives to hunt wild animals, and then handed them over to the state? Who knows if the animals were secretly divided up by village cadres?

Thus, the black market came into being.

The mountain people had wild game, and the farmers from Beijing brought some sweet potatoes, corn and dried yams, which they exchanged with the city people for cloth coupons, oil coupons and the like, sharing what they had.

Therefore, the scale of the pigeon market in the Ma Temple on the west side of the city is the largest in the city. It is the most lively at night, when the moon is dark and the wind is strong, and people are killed.

Lin Sanqi carried a backpack and walked for two hours before he found the gate of Yuyuantan Park.

But it is not enough to just find Yuyuantan Park, you have to find the Horse Temple, which is the real trading point of Pigeon City.

Lin Sanqi looked around. Apart from the pitch-black darkness and a lonely street lamp in the distance, where was the human figure?
What kind of nice person would come to visit the park so late at night?
Lin Sanqi even glanced into the grove. When he and his girlfriend were dating, they loved to go into the grove...

The problem is that we haven’t found any wild mandarin ducks yet.

"Oh no, it's over. Where is this pigeon city?"

Just when Lin Sanqi was at a loss, a lonely figure suddenly walked over from a distance, and the figure walked very cautiously, looking ahead and behind.
