Rebirth 1962: The Beginning of the Angry Fan Qin Huairu

The next morning, He Yuzhu opened the door and took a deep breath of the fresh air after the late autumn rain.

"Wife, it's a bit chilly today, put on more clothes when you go out!"

"Boss, the water is leaking quite badly. Look, the basin is full and there is a lot of water overflowing on the ground."

As Yu Li was speaking, she was about to get up to clean up the water stains on the floor. He Yuzhu turned around and was so scared that he quickly walked over and snatched the broom from her hand.

"Hey, why are you worrying about this? Can't I do this?"

"Look, what are you worried about? I'm safe."

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes at her. "Go take a rest. I'm going to report to work this morning and then go find someone to do the decoration work."

"I estimate that building a few walls and making a kang will take about a week to complete. We will stay in the rain room for the next two days, and then we can start with her room after we finish cleaning up this one."

"Okay, just do it as you see fit."

After cleaning up the water stains, He Yuzhu looked up at the leak above his head, then took the basin and went out to fetch water for washing. As a result, when he arrived at the well, the neighbors in the yard were all talking about the leak.

"Jianguo, how is your family?"

"Don't mention it. I was sleeping and it was dripping. I was tossing and turning for half the night."

At this time, Ma Hua also came to the middle courtyard with a basin of water. Everyone nodded and greeted him first. Ma Hua then came to He Yuzhu and asked, "Master, how was your family last night?"

"Need I tell you? I think the pedal got tilted last Friday night when the night owls were fighting. It was leaking oil last night too. How's yours?"

"What can I say? My room is fine, but my sister's room is leaking!"

He Yuzhu simply suggested: "Today I want to find someone to come over and do a good job repairing it. How about we do it together?"

"That's great. I'll have them come to my house to give me an estimate. It just so happens that there are some leaks in the house."

As a result, when the people nearby heard the conversation between the two, someone immediately said, "Zhu Zi, why don't you help us fix the house when the time comes?"

He Yuzhu glanced at Zhao Zhanfu who was speaking, thinking that this second stingy man in the courtyard was really able to take advantage of every opportunity. It was only because Yan Bugui was not here today, otherwise these words must have been said by Yan Bugui.

When the others heard what Zhao Zhanfu said, they immediately looked at He Yuzhu with anticipation. As long as He Yuzhu agreed to Zhao Zhanfu, there was no reason for him not to agree to them.

He Yuzhu knew what they were up to. "Okay, it's not a big deal anyway."

When Zhao Zhanfu heard this, his mouth almost burst out with joy. He was still thinking in his heart that He Yuzhu was just so-so. He had exposed his trap with just two sentences.

But before he could finish his joy, He Yuzhu continued, "I can help you find a decorator, but you have to discuss how to do it with him yourself."

Zhao Zhanfu was unhappy when he heard this. "That's not right, Zhuzi, didn't you just agree to help us decorate?"

"Hey, I told you that you have donkey hair in your ears, right? When did I say I would help you with the decoration? If you haven't woken up yet, go home and continue dreaming."

"I testify that you were the one who kept talking. My master never promised you anything."

"I~" Zhao Zhanfu was speechless for a moment. He quickly recalled and it seemed that He Yuzhu had indeed not agreed to help them pay for the decoration.

He Yuzhu glanced at the lost Zhao Zhanfu and didn't have time to care about the abacus beads anymore. He fetched a basin of water and went home.

Qin Huairu, who was standing next to him, saw this scene clearly. She thought it was just a simple thing that wouldn't cost much, and He Yuzhu would definitely agree to it right away.

If I help out more at that time, I will definitely win He Yuzhu's favor. The most important thing is that Yu Li is eight or nine months pregnant now. This is a good opportunity to get close to He Yuzhu.

But He Yuzhu refused so bluntly, which made Qin Huairu feel disappointed, but also made her curious why He Yuzhu had changed so much.

After He Yuzhu returned home, he first helped Yu Li pack up, and then took Ma Hua to the steel mill.

As for Liu Lan, ever since she married Ma Si, the two of them bought a second-hand bicycle and now they have become car owners.

But thinking about the renovation, He Yuzhu hurriedly said, "Hua Zi, you just keep an eye on it when it's time to go in. I'll go out and find a decorator."

"Don't worry, I've already talked to my mom and the others, and I'll be at their house to help clean up in a bit."

So He Yuzhu first showed up at the steel rolling mill, then turned around and rode a borrowed bicycle out of the factory.

According to his memories of his previous life, most of the craftsmen who repaired the house lived in Pi Tiao Hutong. Coincidentally, an employee of their canteen also lived here, so according to the introduction of that worker, He Yuzhu directly found the yard where the decoration master Song Wende lived.

"Hello, may I ask if Master Song Wende lives here?"

"Xiao Song! The one on the left side of the front yard."

"Thank you, sir."

"You're welcome."

After determining the location, He Yuzhu pushed the cart into the yard.

"Is Master Song here?"

"Here, here." Immediately afterwards, a short and strong man about 1.6 meters tall ran out.

"Hello, Master Song. I was introduced by Luan Yunping. I wanted to ask you to help me clean up the house."

"Luan Zi, that's easy. If it's convenient for you, take me to have a look and then tell me what you want to do."

So the two hit it off immediately, and He Yuzhu rode his bike and took Song Wende directly to the courtyard. Of course, on the way, He Yuzhu simply stated his needs.

At this time, Ma Li had already helped Yu Li move some of her things out. When Yu Li saw He Yuzhu coming back, she came up to him in surprise and asked, "You found the master so soon?"

"Then look."

Ma Li came over and said, "His master is really efficient in doing things, but take a look around to see if there's anything else in the room that needs to be taken out."

"Sister-in-law, this is really troublesome for you."

"Hey, we are one family and we don't have different opinions. I don't like to hear you say that."

While the two were talking, Song Wende looked at the layout of the He family and drew a sketch directly on the ground.

After He Yuzhu finished explaining, he looked back. "Master Song, you are very skillful. You have even drawn the sketch."

Because the two of them had just introduced themselves to each other, Song Wende said directly: "Master He, look, knock down the wall between your two rooms, then move two meters to the right and build a new wall."

"Then build another wall 1.5 meters back from this position, so that there are two rooms."

"As for the middle space, build a partition here and open a window at the back to separate the living room and kitchen. The leftmost space is the adult bedroom."

"Also, according to your idea, I plan to build a kang here, and then build a fire wall in the living room and two small bedrooms, so that these two rooms will not be cold in winter."

He Yuzhu took a look and felt that it was similar to what he had imagined. Except for the lack of a toilet, the house had everything it needed.

At that time, there will be two small bedrooms of ten square meters each, the living room and kitchen will be 30 square meters in total, and their bedroom will be about 15 square meters. It will be a standard small three-bedroom apartment.

As for the toilet, he had thought about it, but it was the 60s after all, and it was difficult to build an indoor toilet, and there were no corresponding materials, so He Yuzhu had to give up this idea.

"Master Song, let's do as you say, but how long will it take? And how much will it cost?"

Master Song calculated for a moment. "Master He, since Luan Zi introduced you, if you buy the materials yourself, just give me 40 yuan for the labor. It will be about 95 yuan for both the materials and the labor!"

"As for time, it can be completed in ten days at most. Anyway, it's just a matter of building a few walls as partitions and hanging a ceiling for warmth, which is a bit troublesome!"

"Let's do it all for the labor and materials. This way I don't have to run around. Besides, they were all introduced by Luan Zi, so I feel relieved."

"Okay, Master He, don't worry. I'll make sure you can live in your new house before the weather gets cold!"

He Yuzhu immediately paid Song Wende the cost of labor and materials, and Song Wende was a straightforward person, so he started work with his two apprentices that afternoon.

But when the decoration materials were delivered to the courtyard, Jia Zhang had a new plan!
