Siheyuan: Me! He Yuzhu defies fate and changes destiny

Seeing Song Ziyu, He Yuzhu greeted her and said, "Aunt Song, you are here!" Song Ziyu nodded and replied, "Zhuzi, I have something to discuss with you." He Yuzhu asked what it was. Song Ziyu said:

"Teacher Yi Zhonghai went to your father again, saying that we all live in the same compound, and suggested setting up a canteen to follow national policy. This argument gave your father a headache, and he has dissuaded him several times but to no avail. I want to ask you if you have any solution."

He Yuzhu knew that Yi Zhonghai later became a senior fitter, so he asked, "What level of worker is Yi Zhonghai now?" Song Ziyu shook his head and said, "I really don't know."

After listening to Song Ziyu's answer, He Yuzhu said, "Didn't my father tell him that he had not lived there for a long time?" Song Ziyu explained, "He did, but the other party gave a lot of reasons."

He Yuzhu said angrily: "This is too much! I'll go and see what's going on." At this time, Chen Xueru interrupted and said: "This matter should be resolved by your father. It seems inappropriate for you to go, right?" He Yuzhu said: "I won't go directly. I will first go to Director Wang to find out whether there are relevant national policies and regulations."

Yang Xiaodi agreed: "That's right, there's no point in arguing with them, just ask Director Wang directly." Song Ziyu said worriedly: "Isn't this a bad idea? If you go to Director Wang, Yi Zhonghai might make up rumors that you are wrong!"

He Yuzhu was dismissive of this: "The worst that can happen is just some rumors. Now we not only have you and Yuqing in our family, but I am also the canteen supervisor at the steel mill. There is no need to be afraid of him!"

Yang Xiaodi agreed, "That's true. Their level is limited. Otherwise, they would have attacked us long ago." Then He Yuzhu said, "They don't have that ability. I must find out the truth about this matter."

So he drove to Nanluoguxiang, because his original house had been rented out. When he arrived at the street office, many people gathered around him curiously. You know, in this era, even owning a bicycle is something to be envied, let alone driving a car.

When Director Wang heard the sound of a car approaching, he thought it was his superiors coming to inspect and immediately went out to receive them.

When Director Wang saw He Yuzhu, he was very surprised, but still said with a smile:

"Isn't this a pillar? How did you find time to come here?"

He Yuzhu replied:

"Director Wang, I'm here to discuss something with you."

"what's up?"

He Yuzhu continued:

"Recently, the whole country is promoting those cooperative communes and large canteens, right?"

Director Wang nodded and said:

“Yes, our street is also implementing it!”

He Yuzhu nodded again and said:

"I know. The courtyard house I lived in before, which I later rented out, also started doing this."

Director Wang nodded in agreement:

"That's good. This is worth promoting. What's wrong?"

He Yuzhu explained:

"My father and I moved out, and house transactions were banned, so I rented out the yard."

"I know that. Your stepmother came to collect the rent a few days ago. Is there any problem?"

He Yuzhu said:

"Since we have all moved out, shouldn't the compound where we live now run our canteen? But the uncle of that compound, Yi Zhonghai, insisted that my dad go back there to run the canteen."

"As you know, my dad is the canteen supervisor at the steel mill. He's busy enough at the steel mill. The steel mill is a big factory now. He's exhausted from working all day, and he has to go so far to cook for the people in the old yard. And he's very old, who can handle this?"

After hearing this, Director Wang understood what he meant and said:

"This is simply outrageous! You have already moved out, and you should adjust according to your current address. How can you force others to do this just for a good meal? This is obviously a hedonistic mentality, and they must be punished.

There are quite a few people in the compound right now, let's go and see if they can name a flower!"

He Yuzhu said:

"That's a good idea, but when you go in first, stay outside and listen to what they are talking about, and then come in later!"

After listening to He Yuzhu's suggestion, Director Wang agreed to give them enough face: "Okay, I want to see how they explain this issue."

He and He Yuzhu then set off for the courtyard. He Yuzhu was driving a car on the road, and Director Wang noticed something special about the car and was shocked:

“Is this car different from the others?”

Although he does not own a car, Director Wang has ridden in many models, but this one is obviously more comfortable. He Yuzhu responded:

"This is a car I designed and manufactured myself. Similar cars will soon be mass-produced, and the country has fully mastered the technology."

This sounds very plain and ordinary, but from this Director Wang understood more clearly why He Yuzhu's technical level is so high.

He was able to develop such a complicated design. No wonder engineers are paid so well.

Looking at this advanced car, Director Wang felt that the salary was a bit low.

Soon, He Yuzhu and Director Wang drove to the courtyard. He Yuzhu said, "Director Wang, I'll park the car here and go over to take a look. You listen from behind."

Director Wang nodded in agreement and followed.

He Yuzhu strode into the quadrangle and found that the front yard was empty. Everyone was discussing enthusiastically in the middle yard. He heard the noise and understood that they were discussing the small canteen in the courtyard. He thought to himself that this was a good opportunity to listen to their opinions.

So when He Yuzhu stepped into the middle courtyard, he happened to see everyone calculating the amount of food they needed. When Xu Damao saw He Yuzhu, his eyes lit up and he shouted enthusiastically: "Brother Zhuzi, you are back? Are you going to join our canteen?" Hearing Xu Damao's words, everyone looked at He Yuzhu, not expecting him to show up at this time.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Da Mao, we have all moved out, so I will no longer be involved in the canteen. Besides, my father and I have already moved out, and the uncle in this courtyard insisted that I must join."

Xu Damao immediately said, "That's not the case. The house in the yard is still yours, so you are naturally part of the yard."

He Yuzhu responded: "But the house has been rented out and we don't live in this yard now!"

Yi Zhonghai said solemnly: "Zhu Zi, you can't say that. The house is still yours anyway. Even if your residence has changed, it is still part of our yard." He continued: "You are only renting it temporarily, and you are still our people in the end. What's more, you signed a 20-year lease with the street office, so moving out is also considered a part of our yard. Don't you agree?"

In order to avoid provoking Yi Zhonghai, the neighbors in the compound might not have done so in the past because they were afraid of He Yuzhu, but now, He Yuzhu no longer lives in the compound and no longer works in the factory, and Yi Zhonghai has become a seventh-level fitter.

In this situation, no one wanted to conflict with Yi Zhonghai because of someone who was not in the compound, so they agreed and said, "Of course."

Seeing the support from others, Yi Zhonghai felt even more pleased, thinking that this was an opportunity to make some good changes, since he himself was already prepared to give up this family.

However, facing He Yuzhu's attitude, he expressed a strong reaction: "What do you mean? Do you think that tenants cannot be counted as people of the yard?" He Yuzhu replied coldly: "If that's the case, then don't come!"

Seeing this scene, Yi Zhonghai suddenly smashed the large enamel teacup in his hand on the table and said sternly: "He Yuzhu, what on earth do you want to do?"

He Yuzhu glanced at Yi Zhonghai indifferently, and then said: "According to what I know, aren't all the families in this yard allocated houses from the steel mill or the street office?"

(The characters’ attitudes and dialogues in the article try to maintain the original atmosphere, and use completely different sentences to express the original meaning)

When the houses were originally allocated, it was made clear that these houses belonged to the state and did not belong to ordinary people like us. My father was worried that he would be evicted in the future, so he spent money in advance to buy the house we live in now. It was not yet 1950 at that time.

In your case, you definitely don't own the property, right? Yi Zhonghai has just said that no one has purchased a house here, so it is not included in the scope of the Siheyuan. Yi Zhonghai, you should also get out of the house you rented!

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Yi Zhonghai became very angry and felt that the other party had completely broken off relations with him.

"How dare you! He Yuzhu, your words are too much! The elders are all here. Is this how you speak to them? What do you want to do?"

After hearing Yi Zhonghai's question, He Yuzhu laughed:

"Hahaha, good, today I will fight you to the end! We just defeated the old forces, are you going to become the new oppressor? Are you going to torture me or convict me, Yi Zhonghai? Are you going to take me to the execution ground tomorrow at noon?"

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Yi Zhonghai's face changed immediately. If he couldn't respond, the consequences would be serious.

Yi Zhonghai argued loudly:

"You're talking bullshit! That's not what I meant! Did I mean **?"

He Yuzhu said mercilessly:

"What do you mean? Aren't you satisfied with ruling the quadrangle? Do you want to replace the leader, become the new master, and exploit the working people of the country?"

Seeing more and more hats being put on Yi Zhonghai's head, the deaf old lady finally spoke:

"Zhu Zi, Lao Yi may have said something wrong. You can't hold on to it. He was just anxious for a moment and didn't mean it!"

After hearing what the deaf old lady said, everyone reacted. He Yuzhu realized that he had to make these people feel scared.

"Hey, isn't this the legendary big shot? Yi Zhonghai has a good reputation, but he just took off the big hat so easily. Should I cede territory and pay compensation?" [Subscribe]

He Yuzhu's words hit the nail on the head. He was saying that the deaf old lady was a witch from the old times, but the others didn't understand. How could the deaf old lady, who was known as "old and sophisticated", fall into such a trick?

"Zhu Zi, it's inappropriate for you to say that. Although you have moved away, you were once a part of our courtyard. We have always taken good care of you. How dare you say such a thing now?"

He Yuzhu laughed out loud when he heard this:

"Care about me? Oh my God, does this mean that I should bow to you and thank you? As for how my father left, others may not know, but you and Yi Zhonghai must know, right? How did Yi Zhonghai deal with the living expenses my father sent?"
