Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

"Brother Gu, don't worry, I am confident about the exam." He Yuzhu was very confident.

Brother Gu looked at He Yushui again and said, "Your sister goes to school with you, so it's hard for you as her brother."

"I know this." He Yuzhu nodded.

"Go and choose a house. We will tell you the price. If you think it's suitable, you can rent it or buy it."

"Thank you, Brother Gu."

He Yuzhu was very grateful.

Brother Gu just waved his hand and said, "Just pick it."

He Yuzhu held He Yushui's hand and looked at several houses in succession, some of which only had one bedroom and one living room.

He Yuzhu felt it was inappropriate because He Yushui was still young.

In a few years, you will grow into a little girl and need your own independent space.

So no matter what, a two-bedroom house is needed.

When I picked the last one, I saw one with three bedrooms.

There are actually not many houses from this era, and many of them have hidden dangers.

He Yuzhu finally chose this three-bedroom apartment because he liked its nice decoration.

When Brother Gu saw the house He Yuzhu had chosen, he asked, "Have you really thought it through?"

"All right."

He Yuzhu nodded.

"This house is not cheap. You will go to school and your sister will also go to school. Why don't you choose a smaller one?" Brother Gu saw that He Yuzhu was young and was worried that He Yuzhu would not have money.

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "Brother Gu, my salary is enough. I want to buy a house. This is more stable than renting."

Brother Gu couldn't help but remind him, "Zhu Zi, it's not that I won't help you, but if you really buy it, both of you will go to school, how will you afford the living expenses?"

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "Brother Gu, maybe you didn't find out clearly."

"Is there anything else you are hiding?" Brother Gu's expression turned serious.

"It's not a bad thing, it's a good thing." He Yuzhu confessed.

"Tell me what you think." The situation in the country is particularly strict at the moment. As the minister, Brother Gu needs to be very dedicated to security checks, so when he heard He Yuzhu's words, his expression became a little serious.

He Yuzhu looked at him and said, "Brother Gu, because I am a master chef, the boss is worried that I want to run away to another restaurant, so he signed a contract with me. If I pass the exam, I will no longer be a cook, but I will be given the title of honorary chef."

"Honorary chef?" Brother Gu was a little confused.

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Yes, I will be the honorary chef, and I will be paid."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Brother Gu couldn't help but patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and said, "It's a pity that I was worried just now. You are a 17-year-old boy, but you are really more capable than I thought. You really have a lot to look forward to."

When He Yuzhu heard Brother Gu's praise, he just said, "Brother Gu, I will choose this apartment. Thank you for your help."

"Okay, don't worry, we will help you with it."

"Thank you, Minister Gu."

This time He Yuzhu no longer called him "Big Brother", but directly called him Minister Gu by his title.

Minister Gu didn't say anything, but just nodded at He Yuzhu. It seemed that he didn't dislike the address He Yuzhu just made.

"What are you thanking me for? It's rare for me to meet an ambitious young person like you." Minister Gu patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder.

Someone was arranged to take He Yuzhu and He Yushui to see the new house. On the way, He Yushui was very excited and kept clapping his hands. He looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Brother, this house is so big."

Minister Gu nodded and said, "Yes, this house is really big."

"how much is it?"

"I just forgot about this house. I need to tell you something. I wonder if you mind."

Minister Gu did not mention the price first, but instead told He Yuzhu that there was something bad about the house.

He Yuzhu said, "Minister Gu, I really want to buy this house, just tell me!"

"I just wanted to explain it to you clearly because I saw that you wanted to buy it." Minister Gu's expression was serious.

He Yuzhu said: "Minister Gu, just tell me what you want to say."

"This house looks well decorated and furnished, that's because the owner of this house was a wealthy man in the past."

He Yuzhu nodded.

Minister Gu doesn't need to mention this specifically. There is only one possibility: the origin of the money is unknown.

As expected, Minister Gu said, "The owner of this house is certainly rich, but the source of his money is something that we Chinese are not ashamed of. He studied abroad."

"After I came back, I worked as an interpreter for the Japanese. I was labeled a traitor and was condemned by everyone. In the end, this house was vacant for a long time and no one was willing to buy or rent it."

It turns out to be this.

Minister Gu looked worried when he said this.

"Minister Gu, I don't mind." He Yuzhu said.

Minister Gu was very surprised and asked: "Do you really not mind?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "Minister Gu, have you ever heard a sentence?"

"What?"

"This is a humble room, but my virtue is fragrant." He Yuzhu read out this sentence.

After hearing this, Minister Gu slapped his thigh and said to He Yuzhu: "Look, I thought too much. If you want to buy it, I will do it for you now."

"The property certificate can also be obtained."

Minister Gu said to He Yuzhu.

After hearing this, He Yuzhu happily thanked Minister Gu repeatedly and said, "Thank you, Minister Gu."

He took out the money and gave it to Minister Gu, who counted the money one by one and gave He Yuzhu the property certificate.

But he still said to He Yuzhu: "Young man, now I know your name is He Yuzhu, please don't let me down when the time comes."

He Yuzhu said with a smile: "Minister Gu, don't worry, I will definitely be able to apply for the job."

Minister Gu nodded and said, "That's good."

He Yuzhu, He Yushui and Minister Gu said goodbye, and He Yuzhu took He Yushui back.

"Brother, will I also go to Huaqing University in the future?" He Yushui still remembered that He Yuzhu had said before that he would send her to school.

After visiting only one school, He Yushui thought that he was also studying at Huaqing University.

"Of course not. You are an elementary school student. I just told you that you are going to college. Now I will take you to see your school, okay?"

"it is good."

He Yushui has been staying in Hongbin Building all year round and has no contact with friends of the same age. Now he is eager to go to school so that he can have playmates.

And at school, I don’t need my brother to take care of me.

He Yushui also felt sorry for He Yuzhu. She was so tired at work every day and still had to tutor her with her homework when she got home.

When the two of them arrived at Huaqing Primary School, He Yuzhu pointed inside and said, "Yushui, do you like it here?"

The current Huaqing Primary School is not as good as the later one, but it is already attractive enough to He Yushui. She nodded excitedly and said, "Brother, I want to study here."

"Okay, I will send you to study." He Yuzhu promised.
