Siheyuan: Give me incredible understanding but not knowledge

Chapter 112 The Distance of Death

"Are you together?"

Although Lin Jiajun felt that there was something in what Director Yang said, he still pretended not to understand.

Elders should not inquire about the affairs of the younger generation.

"Well, we are together. Isn't this normal? We are a family that helps each other. Look at the families that help each other now. Which one is not married?"

Director Yang waved his hand and looked around inside his office.

After searching around, I finally found two watch tickets, a sewing ticket, and a radio ticket in the tin box on my desk.

Then Director Yang seemed to feel that it was not enough, so he took out a few more meat tickets from his pocket.

"Oh, your news really caught people off guard."

"Fang Qi, as an elder, I don't have anything prepared in my hand right now. I just treat these bills as a meeting gift for you!"

"It just so happened that Jiajun sent these "Black Jade Intermittent Cream", and there was a reason for the reward!"

"That's it!"

Lin Jiajun looked at these tickets, two watch tickets, a sewing ticket, and a radio ticket. The purpose of this sewing ticket for him was to change his hood!

But the other two things are quite useful. Lin Jiajun never went to work before.

I don’t even have a clock at home, so I often don’t know what time it is and have to rely on my own biological clock to wake up.

There are inevitably some errors. It didn't matter before, but now I'm at work.

You can't be late all the time, and thanks to a little mission today, it doesn't matter.

Otherwise, why would I have been looking for Director Yang all the time because of being late?

"Uncle Yang actually has one more thing to do. He needs to take a few days off. The roof of my house cracked due to heavy rain yesterday."

"When I went to bed last night, the room was like a waterfall, so today I want to find someone to fix it."

"It's best to renovate this room, so that it can be ready for the wedding and banquet!"

"Well, I'll send you an invitation then!"

Lin Jiajun smiled and said to Director Yang, who waved his hand!

"It doesn't matter, you are also members of the infirmary, just pretend that you are still configuring the "Black Jade Intermittent Cream"!"

"The leaders also know about this, so it's not a big problem!"

"There are also invitations from your Uncle Wang and Uncle Hou. Their relationship with your parents is no worse than mine, and they will be able to help you more than me in the future. Don't be so stupid, understand?"

"Understand!"

Factory Director Yang nodded when he saw Lin Jiajun agreed, then waved his hand and said to Lin Jiajun.

"I know you have your own connections, so go find a suitable craftsman yourself!"

"You can do whatever you want. If you don't have enough money, you can come to me!"

"I have some more here!"

"Hey, Uncle Yang, don't worry about this. I have saved a lot of money over the years relying on my parents' subsidies."

"Including the second-level Liberation Medal, I still have more than 70 yuan a month. That is my salary!"

"It's two hundred a month!"

Lin Jiajun said with a smile on his face, and Factory Manager Yang also said with a smile.

"So my salary is not as high as yours? I am only at the thirteenth administrative level, and my salary is more than 150 yuan!"

"Isn't this my parents' allowance here?"

"That's just an allowance for you. Your parents have more than that!"

Factory Director Yang said to Lin Jiajun with some helplessness that this was a piece of money for the family members and children.

So if you really want to count, it belongs to Lin Jiajun himself.

"mine?"

"Isn't it yours? I won't be able to explain this for a while. You'd better go get your roof first!"

"Arrange the wedding banquet early, and then the three of us will go to your wedding!"

"Row!"

After saying that, Lin Jiajun and Fang Qi walked outside. When they came outside, Fang Qi spoke to Lin Jiajun.

"Actually, I think Director Yang is not willing to continue talking about your parents with you."

"I'm used to it. They must have some confidentiality regulations that they can't tell!"

"But it seems like nothing happened to my parents!"

"Yeah! It'll be fine for sure!"

Then Lin Jiajun took Fang Qi on his bicycle towards Dong'an Market. He was more familiar with Dong'an Market, and there were many people from all walks of life there.

In fact, the most important thing is that Lin Jiajun wants to ask Mr. Fang and Fang Zhi. The Master Chen he hired before is really good at craftsmanship, so Lin Jiajun naturally wants to let them come when he renovates the house this time.

Secondly, Lin Jiajun wanted to see if Master Chen could raise the roof by one or two meters during construction.

It's okay to be about one meter apart, so it will be two smaller floors.

No matter what you put in your home, it should be much simpler and it won’t take up too much space!

In addition to some standing medicinal materials, Lin Jiajun can even put one-third of the medicinal materials in the attic, so that at least two-thirds of the space below can be left free except for the books he has read.

"Why don't you go find Director Wang and make a report or something?"

"With the contribution I have made during this period, it shouldn't be a big problem. This way, I will still own this house in the future."

"It won't be classified as illegal construction!"

After this idea appeared, it wandered around in Lin Jiajun's mind for a few times. After thinking about it later, it was really feasible!
  So I secretly made a note in my mind. I had just entered the Dong'an Market and there were not many people at this time.

Dong'an Market is usually crowded with the most people in the morning, and slowly starts to disperse at noon.

When Lin Jiajun came to Dong'an Market, it was around three o'clock, so people were almost gone.

"Fang Qi!"

"We who practice Chinese medicine usually have a long-term cooperative pharmacy!"

"Basically all the medicinal materials are purchased from this store, and this store will also guarantee that the medicinal materials you use will have absolutely no problems."

"What we are working with is Jishitang, the Fang family's Jishitang!"

"I will introduce you to Mr. Fang and Brother Fang Zhi later."

Fang Qi nodded seriously after hearing what Lin Jiajun said. Lin Jiajun didn't know about this matter.

After all, Fang Qi was still a monk halfway through her medical studies, so she was not very clear about some aspects of Chinese medicine.

Lin Jiajun brought her to learn these things, and Fang Qi was also very happy.

Then the two of them walked through several streets and came to the antique Jishi Hall. After Lin Jiajun walked in, Fang Zhi was inside the store.

But when he entered, Lin Jiajun still felt something was different.

Mr. Fang's recliner was not here, so Lin Jiajun walked in and came to Fang Zhi.

Fang Zhi also said with a smile.

"Jiajun is here! What medicine do you want today?"

"Brother Fang, I just need some ordinary medicinal materials to replenish it. Yesterday's heavy rain caused a crack in my roof, so I thought I would just renovate it this time."

"Master Chen, who you introduced to me before, I think his skills are good, so I want to ask him to help me with it."

"The roof is cracked?"

Fang Zhi was a little surprised. Most of the roofs of ordinary homes had cracked tiles, but he had never heard of such sudden roof cracks.

While the two were chatting, Fang Zhi's son, Fang Guoqing, walked out.

When Fang Guoqing saw Lin Jiajun, his face was a little embarrassed, but he still spoke to Lin Jiajun.

"Uncle Lin!"

"Hey, we agreed on National Day to do our own thing, but you are still two years older than me!"

"It's really not appropriate!"

"There is nothing inappropriate. After all, my grandfather has told me about this matter, so I will do it well!"

There was a trace of sadness in Fang Guoqing's eyes, but he said extremely firmly.

Lin Jiajun looked at Fang Guoqing, and then looked at Fang Zhi.

Fang Zhi finally smiled, but this smile looked a little ugly.

Then he said to Lin Jiajun.

"My dad, he didn't survive the epidemic some time ago!"

"He died within a few days, and it's been several months now. You didn't come here, so you didn't know!"

"But this matter has nothing to do with it. We have accepted it, but sometimes it still feels a little uncomfortable when it is brought up."

"Ha ha!"

Fang Zhi sighed, while Lin Jiajun felt as if he was holding a breath in his chest.

I used to feel that so many people died so far away from me, but I never thought that there were people like this around me who died because of the previous epidemic.

"Ugh……"

After all, he still doesn't have the ability to save everyone. Being able to save most people is already the limit of his ability.

but……

If Mr. Fang was around Tongluo Lane, Lin Jiajun might be able to save him then.

Fang Qi seemed to know what Lin Jiajun was sighing, so she just quietly came to Lin Jiajun's side, and then held Lin Jiajun's hand.

It seems that he hopes to give Lin Jiajun some strength in this way!
  "It's okay, Jiajun's matter is over." Fang Zhi took a deep breath, and then said to Lin Jiajun.

Lin Jiajun also nodded, and then Fang Zhi seemed to remember what Lin Jiajun said before, and then said to Lin Jiajun.

"No problem. Master Chen is taking less work in Beijing now, so it should be easy to make an appointment with him!"

"When are you going to fix your own house?"

Fang Zhi asked Lin Jiajun about the time. Lin Jiajun thought about it and realized that it could be done at any time!
  So he said to Fang Zhi.

"Brother Fang, you can do it at any time, but I want to communicate my ideas with Master Chen, and then let him do what I want!"

"It should be, this is a normal process! I'll look for it for you then!"

Fang Zhi nodded and agreed, and soon Fang Guoqing grabbed some of the medicinal materials Lin Jiajun needed. Fang Zhi wrote down Lin Jiajun's bill in a small notebook belonging to the Lin family, and then handed it to Lin Jiajun.

After he signed, Fang Zhi said to Fang Guoqing.

"National Day, watch the store! Your Uncle Lin has a lot of goods today, I will deliver them to him!"

"I'll go!"

Fang Guoqing spoke to Fang Zhi, and Fang Guoqing looked at Fang Zhi seriously.

Fang Zhi nodded, and then Lin Jiajun took the medicinal materials and put them in Fang Guoqing's tricycle.

Human power, the kind that pedals away.

Lin Jiajun followed Fang Guoqing on his bicycle, and the dark clouds were still like this, covering his head.

It's neither raining nor sunny!

"Let's wait and get a tarp!"

"I think the weather won't clear up for a while, so I'll buy you some shoes. I saw you crossing the puddle yesterday!"

"I only have this pair of shoes, so I have to be careful when I go to work tomorrow."

"When others see it, they will definitely laugh at me!"

"Actually, I have money, but I'm just worried that I can't pay you back!"

Fang Qi leaned on Lin Jiajun's back and said, Lin Jiajun was stunned, he had never thought about this.

Maybe it was because he was well educated by various short videos before time travel, but in fact, he didn't think what would happen if he spent some money. Instead, he felt that it would be a pity if the feelings he paid were let down.

If Fang Qi hadn't been in the period of the epidemic, she really needed help around her. If Fang Qi hadn't been very interested in medical skills, she would have learned from Lin Jiajun.

I'm afraid Lin Jiajun and Fang Qi will not reach this point, just like the other families who have found Lin Jiajun in recent years, and there are many good-looking ones among them.

There are even many girls who are willing to wait for Lin Jiajun for a year or two.

But Lin Jiajun had no choice and felt that he was in some trouble.

Back at the entrance of the courtyard, Fang Guoqing carried large and small packages of medicinal materials to Shazhu's home. Qin Huairu looked at the medicinal materials carried by Lin Jiajun.

"This is?"

"It rained heavily yesterday and the roof cracked. Fortunately, half of it can still sleep."

"Otherwise I wouldn't have known where to stay yesterday!"

"Huh? The roof is cracked?"

Qin Huairu was a little surprised when she heard Lin Jiajun's words. Qin Huairu did go to see the two of them at noon today, but because of the smell of heather.

She really didn't observe carefully, and now that she heard Lin Jiajun's words, she had no impression even after thinking about it.

Then she followed a few people to the entrance of the courtyard to get the medicinal materials in.

"This Lin Jiajun comes in big and small bags. I don't know where he got it from."

"Mom, please mind your mouth!"

"A lot of things in this family are caused by your mouth!"

Hu Dahua suddenly felt a little bored when she heard Jia Zhang whispering in her ear!

Jia Zhang immediately glanced at Hu Dahua, but did not continue to say anything.

Hu Dahua had a bad personality. He even fought with her once after getting married, and then fought with Jia Dongxu again after Jia Dongxu came back.

After that, mother and son no longer had any disputes with Hu Dahua over anything.

At this time, the two of them were sitting at the door, watching what was going on in the yard, and Jia Zhang just muttered a few words.

Naturally, Lin Jiajun and Fang Qi didn't know that. After putting the medicinal materials away, they told Qin Huairu that they didn't have to do their share at night and left.

Today, Lin Jiajun was also going to take Fang Qi to Donglaishun for a meal. It had to be said that Lin Jiajun wanted to share it with Fang Qi when he came across a pretty good restaurant.

The two of them rode bicycles to arrive at the supply and marketing cooperative around five o'clock.

I have to say that good-looking people still receive some preferential treatment in this society.

Especially Fang Qi and Lin Jiajun are pretty good-looking, so even if they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative at a pinch, the attitude of the girls and boys inside was pretty good.

As for other than them, the reception received was a bit worse.

Generally speaking, some people still feel that this is the property of the public and they represent the face of the public, so they are still a little arrogant.

The current salesperson is one of the eight members.

Salesperson, driver, postman, childcare worker, hairdresser, projectionist, cook, and art troupe member.

Among several items, the salesperson ranks first.

After coming out, Fang Qi had already put on the newly bought shoes on her feet, while carrying the old pair of shoes in the bag.

You still have to wear this when you bring it back.

"It's really interesting about the saleswomen in Beijing. They always feel that they are superior to others, which is not at all in line with the current party's concept of equality for everyone."

"Hey, it's the same everywhere! People have good and bad qualities, and even dogs can be naughty and mischievous."

"It wasn't like this before when we were in Anyang. If he had a bad temper, no one would buy from him. Not only would he not be able to make any money, he wouldn't even be able to eat!"

Fang Qi smiled and chatted with Lin Jiajun about the situation in Anyang, but Lin Jiajun felt that Fang Qi should be talking about a few years ago.

But when did this world become state-run?

It seems that it was at the beginning of last year, so it seems that Beijing has fully implemented it, and other places should still be gradually implementing it!

"Anyang will be like this in the future. After all, this is not selling their stuff, but selling stuff to the country."

"And according to the current policy, private individuals will not be allowed to do business alone in the future."

"The inevitable result of monopoly, but we should not talk about this topic in the future, so as not to be overheard by interested people, and it will be another troublesome thing then!"

Lin Jiajun thought for a while and roughly told Fang Qi about the foreseeable future based on some current policies.

Making her mentally prepared, Fang Qi nodded when she heard Lin Jiajun's words.

"I just think it's a bit dramatic!"

"Have you ever read a book before?"

Listening to Fang Qi's words, Lin Jiajun felt that she must have received a Western education!
  Fang Qi nodded and said to Lin Jiajun.

"When I was a kid and my family had money, I hired a teacher for a while!"

"The teacher had studied abroad before, but due to some reasons, his family was in decline, so he came out to teach."

"He told me a lot about things in the West!"

After hearing what Fang Qi said, Lin Jiajun realized why Fang Qi's thoughts were so different from those of these girls now.

On the contrary, some of them are similar to those girls before time travel, but they retain some of their current thoughts.

"Where are we going to eat?"

"Donglaishun, a 1900-year-old brand! It is said to have been founded around . Now it is quite famous for its mutton dishes in Beijing."

As they said that, the two of them rode their bicycles towards Donglaishun, but at this moment, there was an explosion at Shazhu's house in the Siheyuan.

"what!"

"Sister Qin, are you telling the truth? How can a silly boy like Jiajun do this?"

"what?"

"He Yuyu is going back, why are you here talking about this kind of topic!"

Shazhu saw the surprised He Yuyu and immediately yelled!

He Yuyu said with an unconvinced expression.

"Brother, do I still know about this? Those ladies in the yard do all kinds of messy things every day."

"Whose daughter-in-law stole someone, and whose husband went to which widow's house."

"I already knew this!"

"What! Don't sit around those old ladies in the yard from now on. If I see you next time, I'll have to beat you up!"

"Humph!"

He Yuyu became even more unhappy. She finally found an interesting place, but Silly Zhu refused to let her go.

"Why don't you stop those old ladies from talking!"

"You knew you wouldn't let me go!"

"Hey... He Yuyu!"

"You are so rebellious, I must teach you a lesson today!"

As he took off his shoes, he was about to chase He Yuyu, but Shazhu didn't expect that He Yuyu actually stepped forward and grabbed the shoes that Shazhu had taken off.

With a sound... it drew a parabola in the air, and then fell in the middle of the yard.

He Yuyu then made a face and ran back to his home.

"This...this! He Yuyu!"

　My hands are frozen, so updates are a bit slow. Ten thousand a day can still guarantee it, try your best when it’s below zero, it’s still okay now!
