Rebirth He Yuzhu I am a family man

Chapter 146 He Yuzhu Tests the Waters

Every family has its own problems. Every family has its own troubles. Look, He Daqing is almost seventy years old. Seeing He Yuzhu, a man in his forties, not doing his job and having fun outside every day, the more he looks at He Yuzhu, the more uncomfortable he becomes.

In the past, when his son and grandson were not around, He Daqing always felt bored and wanted to see them all the time. But now that they are around, He Yuzhu sleeps until noon every day, goes out late and comes back late, and no one knows what he is doing, which makes He Daqing more and more worried.

Fortunately, his eldest grandson He Xiao was very well-behaved. When the weather was good, he would get up early to run. Usually, besides staying in the house to study, he would either make him and Li Cuilan happy or take a walk with the old couple.

Although He Daqing is old, he is the kind of person who swallows his anger and accepts everything. For one, two, or three days, he could give He Yuzhu some face because He Yuzhu had just returned to Beijing and let him reconnect with his old friends and go out to have fun. He didn't argue with He Yuzhu.

He Daqing couldn't hold it in for long. Seeing that He Yuzhu showed no sign of restraining himself, he took advantage of He Yuzhu's sleep and hadn't gone out yet to block He Yuzhu. He advised him angrily, "Zhuzi, you are already in your forties. As a father, I shouldn't say anything to you, but you hang out like a street urchin every day."

"He Xiao is of marriageable age. When it comes to marriage proposals and finding a partner, why don't people look at the other party's parents? You are such a bad father. How can a good family in the city be interested in He Xiao?"

"Zhu Zi, if not for yourself, you should at least think about He Xiao! I advise you to find someone quickly. If you really can't find anyone, I will risk my reputation and find you a job..."

"He Daqing, since you are old, I won't argue with you. Otherwise, if I tell you something, you might not be able to accept it and get scared, and then have a stroke. What a sin..." He Yuzhu was not convinced, but said casually, "He Daqing, I am looking for someone these days to tear down the back room, and then rebuild it as it was, and decorate the house."

"I thought about finding a craftsman from the Lei family to do this job. Wouldn't that require asking around?"

"Besides, we have to go to the market to look for materials like bricks and wood..."

When He Daqing heard that He Yuzhu had his own plans, he stopped scolding him and continued what He Yuzhu said, "I don't object to you renovating the back room. He Xiao is old enough to get married anyway, and the renovation will be just right for him."

"Come on, Lei family, I'll go to the street and look for someone to help find him."

"The materials you mentioned are everywhere in this city. Don't waste your time looking for them. When the time comes, just hire a master and ask him to take you to buy them."

"I have deposited more than 2000 yuan here, I'll give it to you later..."

He Yuzhu just said it casually, but he didn't expect He Daqing to take it seriously. He could only comfort himself, "I'm not short of money anyway. This is a good opportunity to distract He Daqing and get to know a group of skilled carpenters, bricklayers and other experienced masters."

"Parents' love is pitiful." He Yuzhu was very touched when he heard He Daqing was going to take out money, but he said in a slick tone, "He Daqing, who are you scolding? I can be like you, saving only 2000 yuan in more than ten years. You are so embarrassed to take it out, keep it for yourself!"

"Let me be honest with you. I have enough money. You can just keep an eye on it for me when you have time..."

He Daqing stared with a pair of dead fish eyes, and there was no expression on his expressionless face. He said mercilessly: "Stinky boy, you said you have no shortage of money, so don't ask me for money when the time comes."

He Yuzhu had been working outside for so many years, so how could he not taste the flavor of He Daqing's tone? He couldn't help but laugh and said stubbornly: "Okay, He Daqing, just wait and see!"

He Daqing is an old man who is as naughty as a child. Just because He Yuzhu said "I'm not short of money", he started to make trouble with his own son, hoping that He Yuzhu would give in and ask him for money.

Back then, He Daqing worked as a chef in Fengze Garden and Hongbinlou, and set up stalls on the street for many years. In his middle age, he went to work in a steel rolling mill until his retirement. It can be said that He Daqing is definitely a veteran of the alleys around the Siheyuan.

He Daqing went to the street and mobilized the retired old men and women he knew. It was good that the craftsmen he hired for He Yuzhu were all people who had renovated the largest house in the city, such as the descendants of the Lei family. He Yuzhu wanted masters with good craftsmanship, so he hired them all without blinking an eye.

When He Daqing's plan failed, he came up with another one. When he used materials, he looked for exquisite materials, such as gold bricks from Gusu Lumu, rare nanmu, red sandalwood, mahogany, etc. At this time, He Yuzhu pretended that he had no money and took some overseas remittance coupons from He Xiao to deal with it, giving He Daqing the illusion that He Yuzhu was using Lou family money.

Seeing that He Yuzhu was still not giving in, He Daqing used another ruthless trick. The construction period, which was originally about a month, was forced to have people work overtime, and the brand new rear shed was built in just over a week.

Seeing that He Daqing was still so energetic at such an old age, He Yuzhu found an opportunity to provoke him: "He Daqing, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"I want to buy a courtyard house near No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. Those who are willing to sell it will definitely be able to pay for it. I wonder if you are interested in organizing it?"

He Daqing had some money in his hands, and he was confident that he could afford to buy a courtyard house. He Yuzhu was talking about buying a courtyard house, but that was not something he could afford with just a few thousand dollars. Suddenly, He Daqing was unsure, and the look on his face showed that he was ready to back down.

In front of the door, He Yuzhu saw that the craftsmen were ready, and there were ways to buy materials. All he needed was a courtyard house for him to try out. How could he miss it so easily? Seeing that He Daqing lacked confidence, he provoked him, "He Daqing, I really have a lot of money. If you don't believe me, go talk to one and see if I can pay you."

He Daqing stared at me with his dead eyes, half believing and half doubting, "You little brat, I'll trust you this time. I'll go out with your Aunt Li to look for it later."

He Daqing is a man of reputation, and Li Cuilan is an honest and decent person. When they go out to look for a yard, they are not likely to bargain when people quote a price.

As the saying goes, "If you lose something in one place, you may gain something in another." People thought they were easy to fool and offered them a high price. If they sold the house in this yard and bought a house of the same size not far away, they would still have a considerable amount of money left. Who would be unwilling to sell the house if they were asked?

With the rapid development of He Daqing and Li Cuilan, it didn't take long for He Xiao to own an entire courtyard house not far from the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, through exchange and purchase.

The craftsmen are ready, and the three-courtyard courtyard will be rebuilt according to He Yuzhu's plan and its original appearance. After the first courtyard is renovated, it is planned to open a high-end "private restaurant"; the second courtyard will be mainly used for "product display and experience" in the future; and the third courtyard will be renovated into "top luxury private rooms".

Although He Daqing is a retired old man, he is familiar with the place. When he went to the street to handle the relevant procedures for civil engineering and decoration, everything went very smoothly. He Yuzhu went to handle the procedures for industry and commerce, health, taxation, fire protection, and environment protection, and personally felt the environment of the city at that time.

He Yuzhu arranged people from Hong Kong Island, so things would definitely be done quickly and conveniently, but he was a person with memories of his previous life, and he knew that haste makes waste. No matter what he did, the real situation of the market was very important...
