Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 463, small touch
There is a saying that spring rain is as precious as oil, but summer rain is flowing everywhere.

After coming out of the research institute, it started to rain lightly in the sky. When I opened the car window, I felt refreshing.

When I arrived at the front door of my home, it was already closed. I looked at my watch through the car light. It was already past 1 o'clock in the evening. It was too late to come back.

Originally, Jiang Yan just wanted to come back quietly. He never thought that the door to his home was locked from inside, and he had no choice but to call the door. However, he just patted the door and heard the voice inside asking: " who is it?".

Jiang Yan was stunned when he heard this voice. It was Xu Damao's voice.

Jiang Yan, who came to his senses, also replied: "Da Mao, it's me. I just came back from work after finishing my get off work."

At this time, a voice came back from inside: "Boss, wait a minute, I will open the door for you right away." Not long after, the door slowly opened a crack, and Xu Damao showed his head to take a look. After confirming that it was Jiang Yan, he opened the door. .

Only then could I see clearly what Xu Damao was wearing. He was wearing clothes, pulling on his shoes, and yawning from time to time. He let Jiang Yan into the yard, looked at both ends of the alley, and after finding nothing unusual, he closed the door and bolted it.

When he closed the door, he didn't forget to say hello to his driver.

When Jiang Yan passed by the reverse house, he saw a light on in a room. After thinking about it for a moment, Jiang Yan understood, so he asked, "Why are you sleeping here?"

Although Jiang Yan's courtyard is said to be a separate courtyard, it still has the layout of a traditional courtyard. After opening a door, it is equivalent to a courtyard upon entering. The three reverse rooms in the courtyard are usually used as guest rooms and storage rooms. use.But when the few of them had time and didn't want to go back to their own homes, they stayed here because there was everything inside anyway.

But looking at the situation tonight, Xu Damao was specially waiting for Jiang Yan.

"Boss, the mission is completed. Did it go well?" Xu Damao asked on the way back to his house.

"It's done, it went smoothly." Jiang Yan replied.

In the afternoon, both He Yuzhu and the others were there, but when the test started in the evening, the unrelated personnel arranged to go home from get off work.

"Go to sleep! I'll wash up and then go to rest." Jiang Yan said while looking at Xu Damao who was yawning profusely.

But Xu Damao said something that was not what he asked. "Boss, you must be hungry! There is a midnight snack left for you on the steamer in the kitchen. I will get it for you right now." After saying this, he yawned and went to the kitchen alone.

Jiang Yan returned to his bedroom and quickly changed into a set of pajamas. When he returned to his living room, the Eight Immortals table in the living room had already placed two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, as well as steamed buns and porridge. The food was still spreading. With fragrance.

Jiang Yan's stomach started to growl when he smelled this aroma. Jiang Yan was not polite and just sat there and ate the food.

Xu Damao still didn't leave while Jiang Yan was eating. He sat there smoking and watching Jiang Yan eat.

After Jiang Yan had eaten and drank enough, Xu Damao spoke.

"Boss, I haven't been to our farm for a long time, so why don't I go visit the farm this time?"

Jiang Yan did not answer immediately, but took out the cigarette holder, put a cigarette in it, took a puff and said, "Did something happen on the farm?" When Jiang Yan asked, Xu Damao waved his hand. "Nothing happened. The farm has been expanded. You haven't been there yet. Go take a look and make some comments."

Hearing what Xu Damao said, Jiang Yan felt relieved, thought for a moment and said, "It just so happened that the director gave me three days to rest, so I can go to the farm to take a look tomorrow afternoon."

Hearing that Jiang Yan was going tomorrow, Xu Damao was a little excited and said repeatedly: "Okay, I will listen to you, go tomorrow, go tomorrow."

After clearing away the dishes, Jiang Yan took a hot bath in the space, then lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

On this day, Jiang Yan slept almost until he woke up naturally. When he got up, it was almost noon. When he came out, he found that the small courtyard was unusually quiet. Everyone went to work, and only the old lady was looking at He Xiao, who was already one year old. , when Jiang Yan came closer, he discovered that the little guy He Xiao had fallen asleep on his crib. No wonder the yard was so quiet.

After saying hello to his grandma, Jiang Yan started to wash up. When he came out, he saw Xu Damao playing with He Xiao who had already woken up. It was hard to tell that this kid really liked children.

After lunch and a rest, Xu Damao couldn't wait and took Jiang Yan straight to the Red Star Farm.After arriving at the farm, Jiang Yan discovered that the original shabby gate of the farm had been replaced by a rather grand gate, and there were guards standing guard at the gate.

Walking into the office area of ​​the farm, a row of two-story buildings have replaced the original wooden houses and tile-roofed houses. It looks quite impressive.

The hill on the farm is still lush and green, and it still feels so refreshing to look at. However, the saplings on the hill are still small, and it will take a few years for them to bear fruit.

Jiang Yan discovered that the blisters that originally only had 100 acres of land seemed to have expanded several times. After asking Xu Damao, he found out that under the advice of experts, the tidal flats and wetlands around the blisters had now become water areas. This was enough. There are more than [-] acres of land, and it can no longer be called blisters. They named it Xingfu Lake. The edge of the lake has also been tidied up. Dams have been built along the lake with stones, bricks and cement, and they are still there. There are many willow trees planted on the embankment, and it feels like willows blowing on your face.

In order to control the lake water, they also built canals and sluice gates. If the water level is high, they will open the gate to release water. If the water level is low, they will close the gate.There is also a special place for flooding next to the gate. Usually the water level is not high, and the water flows directly through there, so that the water level can be kept basically unchanged.

After Xu Damao's introduction, I learned that the entire farm has almost doubled in size. Later, these lands were all half-ripened lands assigned by the government. When they were assigned, it was said that in the future, what is produced on the farm will be divided between the research institute and the government. , Research Institute Six, Government Four.

"Da Mao, where did you get these bricks?" Jiang Yan came to the embankment by the lake and couldn't help but ask Xu Damao when he looked at the bricks that were as big as a city wall.

"Hey! Isn't this the demolition of the old Fourth Nine City two years ago? The professor and the others had made plans for this place before, and this happened to coincide with the demolition of the city wall in the Fourth Nine City, which caused these changes."

And the old city wall of BJ does create resistance to modern urban planning to a certain extent.

In fact, the emergence of the old city wall in Sijiucheng made it difficult to implement the original subway line plan in the 60s.Since the Republic of China, the city wall has been in disrepair and dilapidated.It often causes traffic accidents and personal casualties.

The country chose to demolish the city walls, initially focusing on parts of the city walls that were no longer possible.Then the city wall was demolished, mainly to open gaps to connect to traffic arteries.Then in the 60s, subway lines needed to be built, which had to pass underneath the city wall, and large-scale demolitions occurred.

Whether the demolition of the city wall was good or bad, it is difficult for future generations to come to a perfect conclusion from an absolutely fair and objective perspective.For the times, perhaps the demolition of the city wall is indeed the most appropriate choice out of desperation.

However, Xu Damao said that the city bricks he got were carefully selected. A large part of them were bricks on the city gate, and some of the bricks had the names of the builders on them.

Later in the new century, some of the city walls that were originally demolished were repaired. Many city bricks were recovered, but more disappeared. Xu Damao's unintentional move actually preserved many of them intact. The missing city bricks.
