Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

After the SUV drove away, He Yuzhu walked towards the courtyard. As soon as he reached the middle courtyard, Yi Zhonghai called him: "Zhuzi, I heard from Xu Damao that you are moving. Where are you moving to?"

"Uncle, this is summer, Xiao'e gave birth to three more sons for me. Together with the original three children, Xiao'e is so busy taking care of six children at home that she doesn't even have time to cook. There are no elders in my family to help take care of them, so I have to run back home to cook every day at noon. It just so happens that Xiao'e's parents went to the south for something, and their house is empty. It is also closer to the factory than our yard, so I want to move to Xiao'e's parents' house for a while." He Yuzhu explained to Yi Zhonghai with a smile.

"Then what should you do with your house?" Yi Zhonghai asked, pointing at He Yuzhu's house.

"Just leave it like this. When the child grows up and leaves, I will move back. Uncle, what do you mean by asking this?"

"Zhu Zi, don't think too much. I'm just asking you what to do with your house. After all, the city is facing a housing shortage right now. The subdistrict office has held a meeting before and said that they will try to avoid leaving any houses vacant. If you have any vacant houses, the subdistrict office encourages you to rent them out."

"Uncle, I know the document you mentioned. The street office encourages residents to rent out vacant houses, but it doesn't say that they must rent out houses forcibly. Besides, I'm just temporarily living in Xiao'e's parents' house for a while. If I rent out the house and Xiao'e's parents come back, I'll move back. What should I do with the tenants here? Should I let them leave or not? If I don't let them leave, I'll have no place to live. If I let them leave, what if they can't find a suitable place to live for a while?"

"Zhu Zi, what you said makes sense. I didn't think it through. What about your household registration?"

"Uncle, my household registration is still in our yard. Didn't I just say that I was temporarily staying at Xiao'e's parents' house, which is equivalent to visiting relatives? What's the matter? Do I have to transfer my household registration when I stay at my relatives' house for a few days? When I told Director Wang of the Street Office that I was moving a few days ago, Director Wang didn't tell me to transfer my household registration."

When Yi Zhonghai heard that He Yuzhu had already told Director Wang, he hurriedly explained nervously: "Zhuzi, I just want to understand it. After all, I am the manager of our courtyard house appointed by the street office. I don't know your situation clearly. If someone from the street office asks me, I won't be able to explain it. Don't take it to heart."

"Well, if you have anything else to ask, just ask now. I'm still moving house!"

"That's all. Just go and do your thing. I won't waste your time." Yi Zhonghai said hurriedly, and then turned around and went back to the house.

He Yuzhu looked at Yi Zhonghai's back and suddenly said, "Uncle, wait a moment."

Yi Zhonghai turned around and asked with a puzzled look: "What's wrong, Zhuzi?"

"That's right, uncle. Although I won't be living in the courtyard for some time, I am still a member of our courtyard after all. If there is anything related to our courtyard, I will trouble you to tell me at the factory."

"It should, it should."

"Then I'll get busy, uncle." After saying that, He Yuzhu turned around and walked home.

Finally, six carts were filled with pots, pans, spoons, and Xu Damao had just called six masters. After the carts were filled, He Yuzhu said to Xu Damao, "Damo, you take the masters with you on your bike. I have to clean up the house. By the way, when you pay the masters, ask my sister to bring six salted duck eggs and give one to each master. It's not easy to do this job in this year."

"Deputy Director He, you are such a kind person. I'm leaving now." Xu Damao gave He Yuzhu a thumbs up, and then pushed his bicycle towards the gate of the courtyard.

After Xu Damao left, He Yuzhu looked at the somewhat empty house. He had thought he would live in this house for the rest of his life, but fate had played tricks on him and he had to move out for a while. From the time he traveled through time to now, he had lived in this house for thirteen years. Time flies! After sighing, He Yuzhu began to pack up quickly, put all his things back in order, locked all the windows, and then carried the suitcase filled with valuables to the door and simply locked it.

Just as He Yuzhu was pushing his bicycle out, Qin Huairu walked out of the house with a basin of clothes to wash them. "Deputy Director He, I heard that you are moving away. Will you come back in the future?"

"Come back, why not? This is my home. I was born here."

"I heard from people in the courtyard that cadres like you will be given an apartment by your unit. I thought you moved into the apartment allocated by the unit and would never come back!"

"No, it's because I need to go home at noon to cook for Xiao'e. Our yard is a bit far from our factory, and it takes some time on the way, so I moved to a relative's house closer to the factory for a while, and I will move back when the child grows up. Sister-in-law Jia, you do the laundry, I have to go." After saying that, He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle out, greeting the neighbors he met as he walked.

When He Yuzhu arrived at Lou Xiao'e's parents' house on his bike, Xu Damao had already unloaded the things and left with the movers, and He Yushui was cleaning the house with a rag.

"Yushui, where are your sister-in-law and children?"

As soon as He Yushui heard He Yuzhu's voice, he immediately put down the rag in his hand, looked at He Yuzhu with surprise and said, "Brother, you are finally back. If you hadn't come back, I would have been exhausted to death!"

"What's the matter? We've only been apart for a short while. Do you really have to say such exaggerated things?"

"Brother, I'm not exaggerating. It's just that the house of my sister-in-law's parents is too big, and no one has lived in it for such a long time. There is a thick layer of dust everywhere. It's been more than an hour since my sister-in-law and I came in, and I haven't even had time to breathe. I have been wiping and wiping non-stop. I have only just cleaned up the two rooms upstairs so that my sister-in-law and the children have a place to stay. Now that you're here, I can finally take a break." After saying this, He Yushui threw the rag to He Yuzhu, pulled over a clean chair and sat down.

"Then you take a rest and leave the rest of the cleaning to me. I'll go upstairs to see your sister-in-law and the children first, and then come down to work." After saying that, He Yuzhu went upstairs carrying the suitcase.
