Chapter 60 No one wants you to live well
"You want to knock down the waterside pavilion and rebuild it?"
After Lin Kushen finished her meal, she was happily drinking her son's Tieguanyin tea, and frowned when she heard her son say this.
Jin Caifeng smiled and looked at her youngest son lovingly:
"It's time to demolish it and rebuild it. It's not like our family has no money. The house is so dilapidated that no one can live in it. If there is a heavy snowfall one day, wouldn't it be possible to be crushed to death if you sleep in it? This is not uncommon in the Four-Nine Cities."
Lin Sanqi nodded repeatedly while serving tea to her mother: "That's right!"
Who would have thought that the normally Buddhist Lin Sophora flavescens shook his head:
"You guys, you just think about being comfortable, but you forget what era we are in now? We don't have enough to eat, and every family squeezes into the same house to live like a year. As a result, our family is prosperous and prosperous, and we have to build a new house? Is that so? Very hateful.
You underestimate human nature too much. Just like in our hospital, it turns out that everyone is just as poor and in the same difficulty, but everyone is psychologically balanced. But if someone becomes rich overnight, or is far ahead of them, the result will only make more and more people jealous
If others are jealous and you are having a hard time, how can you make you feel better? I'll file a black record with you at the street office or work unit, and I'll make some excuses if you have nothing to do. If we go online and say that we are zi-minded and hedonistic, I'm afraid the company will not be able to pass this test. ”
Jin Caifeng was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly advised:
"Oh, I didn't expect this. Son, if you ask the government to build a new house for you before you start working, you will be in trouble if you are sued."
Lin Sanqi was frightened after hearing this for a while, and remembered some terrible things that she had searched on Baidu.
If the neighbors think that your family is a bad element, you will not be able to live with it.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi stood up nervously
"No, I have to find the head of the department. If I don't build this house anymore, I will live in that shabby house."
What Lin Sanqi was thinking was that in the worst case he could travel back to 2023, saving his life was the most important thing anyway.
Jin Caifeng couldn't wait to stand up: "Let's go, grandma will take you to the home of the general practitioner to explain it clearly."
"Sit down, what are you two so anxious about?"
Lin Sophora lightly knocked on the table and motioned for his wife and son to sit down.
"It can still be repaired. If you want to live comfortably, you can only make a fuss indoors. The more broken, rotten, and old the outdoor display is, the more people will sympathize with Qizai's pity and laugh at Qizai's misfortune. .
As for the interior, first of all, the wall was thickened. It can’t be felt now, but the winter in the north is really tough, so the wall was thickened to 37 centimeters, commonly known as the Sanqi wall, which improves the warmth retention.
If you have the conditions, building a fire pit or a fire wall like the northerners do is also a very good way to keep warm. However, coal is hard to buy now, so the work of keeping warm can only be overcome. ”
Lin Sanqi's eyes were spinning around.
Is keeping warm a problem? Then you can just install a fireplace indoors. You can buy it on Taobao for one or two thousand yuan. If you want to burn firewood, it shouldn’t be too warm.
"Okay, old man, I'll tell the head of the department tomorrow that our roof and exterior walls won't move. Let me make them as dilapidated as possible. I want to make those who hear it cry, those who hear it sad, and feel that I live in Same as in the doghouse.”
Lin Sophora flavescens choked and knocked her son on the head:
"This is the truth. You can't say that. How can the place where you live be called a doghouse?"
Jin Caifeng suddenly asked: "Building a house costs a lot of money. Did the head of the department say how much budget is needed?"
Lin Sanqi waved his hand and said nonchalantly:
"I will handle the money matters myself, lest my second brother and second sister-in-law say that I am cheating on my elders~~~"
Lin Sanqi deliberately spoke loudly, and sure enough, the walls had ears. Pei Xuehua put her ear against the wall and felt relieved when she heard that her brother-in-law had paid for the house building by himself.
Lin Duzhong was a little embarrassed and pulled at his wife: "Okay, okay, how can any children listen to their parents?"
Pei Xuehua snorted:
"You, a wild boy, may have learned how to eat, drink, whore, and gamble after spending 10 years outside. Look at him. He wants to eat big cakes and fried dough sticks in the morning, and big fish and meat in the evening. He doesn't know that there is no famine in our country.
He just eats and drinks as much as he wants, where did those food stamps and meat stamps come from? Our parents didn’t give it to him!
My father and mother were really partial. They gave all the good things to their younger son, gave us some money, and didn’t give us any receipts. ”
Lin Duzhong was upset after hearing this, "Okay, okay, just say less."
Lin Zhenzhen was not happy when she heard her mother talking bad about her uncle:
"Mom, my uncle is the best. He gives me delicious food."
Pei Xuehua felt even more unhappy when she saw that her husband and daughter did not support her:
"Go, go, go, it's annoying when I see you with the surname Lin."
In the evening, Lin Sanqi went out in the middle of the night on the pretext of buying building materials with an old friend. In fact, she was going to the Horse Temple in the west of the city.
Horse Temple is quite far away from Datu Deng Hutong, more than 8 kilometers. Lin Sanqi passed by Jingshan and walked west along Funei Street and Fuwai Avenue
In 1959, the scale of Sijiucheng was far smaller than that of later generations. Outside the west of the city, not far away were suburbs such as Shijingshan and Mentougou.
It is said that it is an effective area, but it is actually a mountainous area. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is in the wilderness.
Where there are mountains, there are wild animals. Anyway, there is no wildlife protection law these days. In the early years after liberation, hunters always had guns in their hands, which made hunting convenient.
In an era when food was not guaranteed, these wild game became a precious source of "meat".
However, the state has regulations. If you catch pheasants, rabbits, etc., you can eat them yourself. However, if they are large animals such as wild boars and wild sheep, they must be handed over and cannot be handled by individuals.
People with problems have selfish motives.
Go over the mountains yourself, risk your life to hunt down wild beasts, and then turn them over to the state? Who knows if it was secretly divided up by village cadres.
So the black market came into being.
The mountain people had game in their hands, and the farmers in Jingxiao brought some dried sweet potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes to exchange for cloth stamps, oil stamps and the like with the city people.
Therefore, the Pigeon Market in the West Horse Temple is the largest in the Sijiu City. It is especially lively at night when the moon is dark and the wind is high.
Lin Sanqi carried a backpack and walked for two full hours before finding the gate of Yuyuantan Park.
But just finding Yuyuantan Park is not enough. You have to find the Horse Temple. That is the real trading point of Pigeon City.
Lin Sanqi looked around. Apart from the pitch black darkness and a lonely streetlight in the distance, there was no one anywhere.
What kind of person comes to the park in the middle of the night?
Lin Sanqi even took a look into the woods. When he was in love with his girlfriend, he liked to go into the woods the most...
The problem is that I haven't found any wild mandarin ducks yet.
"Oh, it's over. Where is this pigeon market?"
Just when Lin Sanqi was at a loss what to do, a lonely figure suddenly walked over from a distance, and it seemed that this figure was walking carefully and looking forward and backward.
