The flower bed is 50 centimeters wide, the parking space is 2.4 meters wide and 6 meters long. The length minus the width of the north and south flower beds is 44 meters in total. The remaining 6 meters are connected to the cement road, which serves as the entrance and exit of the parking lot.
The aisle between the two rows is 10 meters wide, so even a pig can back a car in.
Ling Ran heard Ma Gua's sigh and said with a smile, "Should I write what you just said on a slogan? Let the drivers be alert, so that they don't accidentally become worse than pigs?"
Ma Gua nodded seriously, "Okay! Let's write this slogan in the parking lot. If someone can still scratch someone else's car while backing into a parking space on a 10-meter-wide road, he's truly worse than a pig."
"Did I really write that?"
"Write it! Who's afraid of who? If he falls in, he's better than a pig. If he can't fall in, he's worse than a pig. Does he still have the nerve to come to me and pick a fight? I'll let the whole town know that he's worse than a pig."
The two chatted and laughed as they looked at the parking lot, and then went to see the road construction site.
The width of the road was from Xie Lin's courtyard wall to the river head. After the processing room was demolished, Zhou Xiang planned to build a 7-meter wide two-lane road. Therefore, the river head on the south side was left two meters to the north.
Seeing the 7-meter-wide two-lane road, Ma Gua sighed again, "It's too luxurious! Even the provincial roads are not this wide!"
"It's wide and safe. If there's not enough parking in the parking lot in the future, we can draw parking spaces on the side."
"I'm just expressing my feelings. You two are both promising people."
After the site was ready, road construction began. The workers from the river channel were still doing the work. Only 130 meters of the southern section of the river were left, so Ma Gua transferred most of the workers to road construction.
This time, the materials transported into the food station were mainly steel bars, cement, sand and gravel. Many people came to see the novelty, but were driven away by Ma Gua, blocking his work.
Although the cement road started from the doorstep of Zhou's house, it was paved half and half, that is, a width of 3.5 meters was paved from Zhou's house to the front yard, so the entire route was a construction site.
The broken stone arch bridge was demolished, the stinking ditch no longer existed, and there was no need for the culvert below leading to the river. It was demolished to make it level.
The land in front of Zhou's house was often soaked in water, and the ground underneath was too soft, so they dug out the soft mud, poured in stones and broken bricks, and mixed it in, and then used a rented roller to press it back and forth.
The roadbed was compacted, and the formwork was set up to find a level steel bar. Onlookers exclaimed, "This is a luxury! How expensive are cement and steel bars? Provincial roads are paved with asphalt, and aren't they pretty smooth too?"
Fortunately, it was a sunny day when the road was being built. It was the end of May and the rainy season was about to begin. Ma Gua was also very anxious, so he worked overtime and worked at night on the road paving project.
We rushed to finish the 300-meter-long road, and the southern half was paved in one day.
It takes two days to dry before the other half can be laid out. Ma Gua then starts to lead people to clean up the stinking ditch. The stinking ditch has been rotten by water all year round, and the ground is full of rotten silt.
The silt was dug out, transported away with a cart, and then refilled with stones to ensure that the ground was firm.
The front yard of the food station became a place for material storage and concrete mixing.
Truckloads of gravel were brought in, and the stinking ditch was filled with more than twenty truckloads of gravel before it was finished. Then the roller started its work again.
Since this parking lot is going to have a flower garden, it won't be a single large concrete surface.
After placing the template in the reserved flower bed, start paving from the south side of the food station wall to the north. Because the northernmost side is adjacent to the newly paved cement road, it can only start from the south.
The parking lot was half paved and the northern half of the cement road was quickly paved. This time the roller went back and forth a few times and finished its work and left the food station.
It was already June 2nd, and Ma Gua was still working late into the night, and it was not until midnight that he finished laying out the northern half.
While drying the cement road, I continued to work on the parking lot and didn't even have time to take care of the river. Xie Lin already understood everything anyway, so I left it all to him.
It was already June 5th when the parking lot was paved. Ma Gua breathed a sigh of relief. The rainy season basically started in the middle of the month, so the wood should be able to be dried out.
Ren Hui's sister Ren Qing arrived in the town on June 1st. Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran took some time to visit Doctor Cao.
Ren Qing has a delicate and pretty face, but dark skin, probably because he often goes out to dig herbs.
She learned from Shencheng what happened to her brother. After listening to her brother's introduction, she bowed to Zhou Xiang and apologized, "My brother did not do the right thing. You were able to bring him here for treatment at that time. I am very grateful to you."
Zhou Xiang saw that this girl was sensible and steady in her words and deeds, and he had a good impression of her.
Ren Hui had already mentioned to his sister that he wanted her to study medicine with Dr. Cao. Ren Qing was very happy about it. Studying medicine was her ambition, but unfortunately she had not been able to find anyone to teach her.
If you rashly go to ask someone you don't know to be your teacher, who will pay attention to you? The only doctor she can recognize is the barefoot doctor in the village.
Zhou Xiang agreed to help the brother and sister find out what Doctor Cao had to say.
Doctor Cao was stunned when he heard this. "Zhou Xiang, I'm old now. I really don't know if I can still teach others. I've never taken an apprentice, and I don't know how to teach people systematically. Don't let them down."
Since Doctor Cao didn't refuse outright, Zhou Xiang said, "I'm worried that you don't have anyone to take care of you. Brother Xiaosong is too far away to take care of you. Since Ren Qing likes Chinese medicine and knows some medicinal herbs, you can keep her as an assistant or a nanny. I'll talk to her later and give her a salary to take care of you.
If you're happy, give me some guidance. If you don't want to talk, don't give me any guidance. She loves Chinese medicine but has no place to learn from. She came all the way here and passed by Ren Hui. Doesn't that mean it's fate?"
Doctor Cao pondered for a moment before saying, "Okay, call her over. I'll ask her a few questions."
Zhou wanted to call Ren Qing over. Doctor Cao looked at the little girl and found that she had a good temperament and was clean and not rude.
