Siheyuan: The opening earthquake of stealing and replacing pillars

When I got home, Zhu Lin had already finished get off work. There was a leader inspecting their unit today, otherwise she would have gone with He Yuzhu.

"No problem?"

"What's wrong with me?" Zhu Lin rolled her eyes and said, "Really? I'm just an analyst. It's not my turn to be involved in intrigues!"

"That's right, haha!" He Yuzhu laughed unkindly.

"What about you? How does it feel to go to college?" Zhu Lin asked enviously.

"I don't feel anything!" He Yuzhu curled his lips and said, "Most of the students in this class are the ones who jumped the queue before. They are all pale and thin, and it is obvious that they are malnourished. Some even bring their children to school!"

"Really?"

"No!"

He Yuzhu immediately told Zhu Lin what happened in school that morning. Zhu Lin was deeply moved after listening to it. She had joined the queue before and knew the hardships of it.

Some people felt that there was no hope in life, so they got married and had children locally, planning to throw away everything. Now that order has been restored, many people must be regretting their decision.

Fortunately, I persisted, otherwise I would have become an unknown rural woman like them. The thought of doing so scares me.

At noon, He Yuzhu cooked a pork trotter meal at home. The couple ate happily. Then one went to work while the other started planning his college life at home.

He can't just waste time in college. Now that he is a party member, he must make good use of this identity. There are many needy students in the school, like Leng Qiuyue, Ban Minxia and so on. He might as well use this name to run an off-campus part-time class. There are many part-time workers these days. Qin Huairu has done it before, taking some odd jobs from the street and settling the bill after finishing the work. Although the wages are very low, it is still an income, isn't it?

With this part-time class, not only can I start my own business, but more importantly, it can lay a foundation for my future. Now is 78, and reform and opening up are about to begin. Time is running out!

He Yuzhu drafted a plan to use this part-time class to build up the company first, and then expand the business. As an excellent chef, it would be easy for him to make some food, such as shaqima and various spicy strips. They are so delicious. Later, he would find a few professional talents to engage in technology, such as radios, electric fans, and televisions. They would all make money.

After a busy afternoon, He Yuzhu formulated several feasibility plans, including renting or buying a house, purchasing equipment, etc. Don't think that you can sit back and relax with plug-ins. If you want to cash in, you still have to be self-reliant.

The next day was Sunday, and we didn’t have to report to school because those two days were the first days of school and there were no classes at all. At most, the class would organize some activities, and there was nothing else important.

He Yuzhu took this opportunity to go and play with Han Chunming. He first called Taozi, and then the two of them went to the North China Theater on Zhushikou Street, saying that they would meet here. But there was no other way, Han Chunming's job was to collect scraps, and he didn't have Sundays at all.

After waiting for a long time and finishing half a pack of cigarettes, Han Chunming still did not show up. He Yuzhu was getting a little impatient.

"I say, Taozi, have you informed him?"

"Say it, say it! How can I not tell you? Chunming might have been delayed by something!" Taozi said, looking towards the entrance of the alley.

"Maybe he's going to stick with his girlfriend again!"

"You're talking about Su Meng!" Taozi said with a wicked smile: "Haha, the two of them are silent now!"

He Yuzhu suddenly wanted to gossip: "Tell me quickly, what's going on!"

"That's right. Last year, Chunming didn't take the college entrance examination, so Su Meng was unhappy. Later, she heard that he was a rag collector now. She was furious and said that Chunming was not doing his job properly. Haha, you don't know. She scolded him so harshly that Chunming was ashamed!"

When it comes to gossip, Taozi is even more excited than He Yuzhu, with saliva flying from his mouth. If a table is set up, he can start telling crosstalk on the spot.

"Really? Haha!"

"anything else!"

"Go on!"

They lit another cigarette, and Taozi began to talk: "During the Chinese New Year, Chunming's mother introduced a girl to Chunming. It was his second aunt from the countryside who arranged the date. She brought the girl home, but when Chunming got home and saw the girl, he was scared away. Later, Su Meng found out about it, and the two of them were having a quarrel. Now, they have nothing to do with each other!"

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "That's just his bad luck!"

"Who says it isn't?"

As he was talking, Han Chunming came over on a tricycle.

"Hey, you must be getting impatient!"

"That's right!" Taozi rolled his eyes at Han Chunming and said, "You came just as the sun was about to set, so you have to treat me to dinner!"

"Of course!" Han Chunming said with a smile: "Then let's go!"

The three of them found a restaurant on Nanxinhua Street called Ke Lai Fu. Han Chunming and Taozi often had small gatherings here. The restaurant was small, with only a few tables. Han Chunming was familiar with the manager, so he greeted him, ordered two dishes, and started eating.

"Actually, I've been thinking about going to find Brother He these days!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Then why don't you go!"

"Isn't this embarrassing?"

"You kid, tell me what you want to say!"

"Then I'll tell you, don't laugh at me!" Han Chunming said in embarrassment.

After saying that, he looked at Taozi again. They were buddies and they knew each other well. It must be related to Su Meng.

He Yuzhu guessed it, of course, and said with a smile, "Tell me about it!"

"I want to learn piano from you!"

"puff!"

Taozi couldn't help himself and sprayed peanuts all over the table. He looked at Han Chunming in shock.

"Chun, Chunming, you don't have a fever, do you? Piano is so difficult. Besides, you are so old, you still want to learn piano, can you learn it?"

What is a bad friend? Taozi is one now.

"Go away, how does my piano learning bother you? Go wherever you want!" Han Chunming scolded with a smile and said to He Yuzhu, "Brother He, you have to help me with this!"

He must have been hit hard at the educated youth gathering.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Okay, but you have to do me a small favor!"

Seeing that He Yuzhu agreed, Han Chunming smiled happily: "You tell me what to say!"

"I want to rent a house, preferably in the North Suburbs Market area. You have a lot of connections, so please help me ask around when you have time!"

Upon hearing this, Han Chunming slapped his thigh and said, "What a coincidence! I went there to collect some things yesterday, and there was a family whose house was vacant. It was a courtyard. It was previously rented by someone from the Surveying Bureau, but they moved out later. The old man wanted to rent the whole house, but no one offered, so it has been vacant ever since!"

Am I so lucky? Whatever I need comes to me!

"Then let's go check it out after dinner!"

"no problem!"

After the three of them finished their meal, they hurried to the north city, passed through Anding Gate, and not far ahead was Xiaoguan North Station. The courtyard Han Chunming mentioned was here. The old man who was looking after the house was a relative of the owner. The owner's family went to the Third Front during the turbulent years, and it was said that they had settled down there, so this house has been rented out.

In this era, few people can afford to rent out the entire courtyard unless it is a state-owned unit. He Yuzhu took a look at the layout and it was roughly like a two-entry courtyard. Because it was a private building, the specifications were relatively rough. There were a total of twelve rooms, eight in the front yard, three in the main house, two on each side, and next to the gate was a corridor, which could also be considered a room.

There are four rooms in the back row. It seems that this place used to be a cowshed or a horse stable. The old man can’t remember clearly. After it was rented out, it was converted into a staff dormitory.

When the old man who was inspecting the house saw He Yuzhu nod in approval, he smiled and said, "This yard is 15 yuan a month, and it will be delivered annually!"

It's really not cheap, nearly 200 yuan a year! But the layout here is pretty good.

Han Chunming also thought it was expensive, so he advised He Yuzhu: "Brother He, it's a bit expensive, how about we take a look again?"

"Forget it, let's just leave it here, uncle. I want to ask, are you selling this house?"

Buying a house is definitely more convenient than renting one, and He Yuzhu doesn't want to be disturbed every day.

"You want to buy?"

The old man was confused and looked He Yuzhu up and down, afraid that he was a liar.

"Haha, uncle, I'm not a bad person. I'm an employee of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and now a student at Peking University. Some students in our school are inconvenient to bring their families with them, so the school wants to find a place for them to stay, so they sent me to take a look. This is my student ID and work ID!"

The old man took it and looked at it, and it was true. No wonder, these days, who has the money to buy a yard? If you want to buy one, you have to buy it from a certain unit.

"I can sell it, so I don't have to go back and forth to look at houses, but the price is so low~"

Perhaps because of He Yuzhu's status, the old man did not dare to talk nonsense about the price: "My relatives are all out of town. He said before that if anyone wants to buy this yard, the price is 2,000 yuan. That's because you are a state employee. Otherwise, I would have asked for 2,500 yuan directly!"

Hey, I got a bargain then!

"Two thousand yuan is two thousand yuan!" He Yuzhu said decisively.

"Brother He, why don't you consider it again?" Han Chunming suggested: "In fact, there are many empty houses in the city!"

"Forget it, this place is closer to school and convenient for travel!"

He Yuzhu said to the old man again: "Uncle, let's make it a deal. I'll bring the money tomorrow and we'll go transfer the ownership. To be honest, I don't want to run anymore!"

"Haha, I understand!"

The old man understood what he meant. He thought He Yuzhu was just doing work for the unit!

At dawn the next day, He Yuzhu came with 2,000 yuan and went to the Housing Management Office with the old man to transfer the house to his name. This was a private yard, and the country allowed transactions. Besides, He Yuzhu had both a work ID and a student ID, so the staff didn't suspect him at all.

Holding the thin piece of paper, which is the property certificate, He Yuzhu was filled with emotion for a moment. He did not expect that his first property in this world would be settled like this. It was like a dream.
