Chapter 450 Pocket Greenhouse
Grandpa Tan looked at the floor plan drawn by his grandson and kept praising him, "Well, this design is really perfect. No wonder you chose to study architecture. You really have the talent for it."
Tan Shaowen's mouth twitched as he watched from the side.
From childhood to adulthood, I have never seen the old man praise anyone. Even for me, his own son, all I heard was criticism. Even when he made military achievements, I didn't hear a word of encouragement.
But when it comes to his only grandson, the old man is really generous. If he does something good, he will praise him endlessly...
Old Master Tan didn't look at Tan Shaowen's colorful expression. He took the drawings drawn by Tan Chen and the paper with the required materials and handed them to Tan Shaowen.
"Tan Chen has just arrived in Beijing and is unfamiliar with many places. You are responsible for getting these materials."
Tan Shaowen...
"Dad, your grandson served in the army in Beijing for several years. How could he not be familiar with it?"
Mr. Tan no longer had such a good attitude towards Tan Shaowen: "Just go if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
When Tan Shaowen saw the old man getting angry, he immediately shut up.
He just wanted to see more of his grandchildren at home...
Seeing his father frustrated, Tan Chen said, "Grandpa, I can buy these things."
Mr. Tan waved his hand and said, "Let your father go. He has many connections in Beijing and can get things done easily."
Tan Chen thought about it and realized that the materials needed to build a greenhouse were not readily available for purchase. Without personal connections, it would be impossible to do so. Even if he went out to purchase them himself, he would have to look for acquaintances.
Tan Shaowen was just complaining about his father's different treatment, and it was impossible for him to really let his son who had just returned home go.
"Tan Chen, just stay at home with grandpa and the kids. Leave these things to dad."
Tan Chen did not compete with his father to do it. After all, Tan Shaowen definitely had more connections in Beijing than he did.
Tan Shaowen went out to buy materials, and part of the construction work in the yard was temporarily stopped. Except for the fish pond, all the places that needed to be demolished were demolished. Even the flowers and plants originally planted in the front yard were pulled out, and it looked bare.
Shang Ruoting only stayed at the Tan family for one night, but the yard had undergone earth-shaking changes, which made her amazed.
The old man really likes greenhouse cultivation, he even plucked such beautiful peonies...
She was just complaining in her heart, she would never say such words openly.
At noon the next day, people kept delivering steel bars, bricks and other items to the house. Presumably, if Tan Chen went out to buy them, he would definitely not be as fast as Tan Shaowen.
Seeing that the materials were almost delivered, Mr. Tan urged Tan Chen to start work and called over several soldiers who had worked yesterday.
Tan Chen was also anxious. He wanted to help his grandfather build the greenhouse before reporting to Peking University, so after a few soldiers arrived, he took the blueprints and began to give orders.
After two days of hard work, the greenhouse was finally completed the day before reporting to Peking University.
There was a small greenhouse in the front yard where flowers and plants were originally planted. Mr. Tan said that it was shaded by trees and was just right for growing mushrooms. The circular greenhouse in the backyard was slightly larger and could be used to grow some vegetables and strawberries.
The two greenhouses are not very large, and there is absolutely no problem in providing some for family consumption or giving some to friends. This makes Mr. Tan very satisfied.
Mr. Tan looked at the two pocket-sized greenhouses and couldn't stop smiling.
Now that’s great, not only does the family have a grandson and his family of six, but we also have his favorite greenhouse.
Mr. Tan has already begun looking forward to a busy life in the future. He gets up early to take care of the vegetables and fruits in the greenhouse, and when he is free, he hugs his four little great-grandchildren.
Thinking of this, Mr. Tan became a little scared. He was afraid of death.
In the past, when he was fighting on the battlefield, when he suffered in the northwest, and even after returning to the capital, he had never feared life or death. But now, he was truly afraid...
Even if he lived another twenty years like this, he would still feel that it was not enough.
Thinking of this, the old man called Xiao Li.
"Go to the hospital tomorrow and make arrangements. I need a thorough physical examination."
Xiao Li was obviously shocked by this. No matter how he and Tan Shaowen persuaded him, Mr. Tan just didn't want to go to the hospital and often said, "It would be a blessing to die."
But now, the old man has changed his personality and asked to go to the hospital for a check-up.
"Yes! I will arrange it tomorrow morning." Xiao Li excitedly gave Mr. Tan a standard military salute.
Shang Ruoting also cultivated some mushroom spawn before school started, and secretly soaked enough seeds in spiritual spring water to grow in a miniature greenhouse.
There is no apparent difference in the growth rate of seeds soaked in spiritual spring water, and the fruits produced will be very full. It can be said that it is more effective than chemical fertilizers.
