Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Scarface said, "Wait a few more days and check the area first. The noise we made the last two times was too loud. The patrols on the streets have obviously been stepped up. We'd better be careful now. Anyway, those things are there and they won't run away."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go first. Let Liuzi notify us when to start."

Scarface took out a stack of money and bills from his pocket, handed them to the middle-aged man, and said, "This is yours. The others have already been taken. Be careful with your words. Don't give all your money away in one night."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I just play around with this as a hobby. But don't worry! I definitely won't touch those things in the near future."

Scarface echoed, "It's good that you know!"

After the middle-aged man left, Liuzi walked up to Scarface and asked, "Boss, do you want me to kill him?!"

Scarface replied, "He is still useful for now. Let's keep him alive. It won't be too late to deal with him after we're done." Then he asked, "Have you found the boat I asked you to find?!"

Liuzi replied: "I have found one. But their price is quite high. And they don't accept cash, only gold bars."

Scarface replied, "Promise them first. Once we find that batch of stuff, will we still be short of those gold bars?!"

Overnight, the entire city seemed to be wearing a white coat. Early in the morning, He Yuzhu got up and shoveled the snow in the middle courtyard, then climbed onto the roof and swept the snow on the roof to the ground. After finishing his work, He Yuzhu was about to go back to cook, when He Yushui yawned and appeared behind him and asked, "Brother, what do you want to eat this morning?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "How about spicy soup with sauerkraut stuffed buns?!"

He Yushui thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay!"

"You little foodie!" He Yuzhu muttered and walked into the house. He Yushui followed him in with a smile. About twenty minutes later, He Yuzhu came out of the kitchen with spicy soup and steamed buns. He Yushui sat down at the table quickly.

He Yuzhu handed a bun to He Yushui and asked, "What are your plans for the holiday?!"

He Yushui replied: "What else can I plan? Of course I will stay at home and read books. At most I will go to my grandfather's house to play for a few days."

He Yuzhu said: "Since you are not going out, the matter of purchasing New Year's goods will be left to you. I will write a list for you when the time comes. Go and buy the things."

He Yushui asked: "Brother, what should we buy for the New Year this year?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Don't worry about the food, vegetables, and meat. I'll get them back. As for snacks like melon seeds and desserts, just buy whatever you like." Then he asked, "When are you going to take the exam?!"

He Yushui was stunned for a moment, looked at He Yuzhu, and said, "The exam will start tomorrow. It will last for three days, and then we will have a holiday. Just go to school to get your transcript next Friday." Then he asked, "Brother, why did you think of asking me about the exam?! You never seemed to care about it before?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Just because I didn't care before doesn't mean I really don't care. In the past few years, my brother and I couldn't even fill our stomachs, how could I care?!"

He Yushui's mind immediately flashed back to the days of the past few years, and the smile on his face disappeared. With tears in his eyes, He Yushui suddenly said, "Brother! I'm sorry!"

He Yuzhu said: "Why are you saying sorry for no reason?!"

He Yushui said, "Brother, I am too selfish. I originally wanted to move out of this courtyard after I finished my studies and found a job, and never come back."

He Yuzhu laughed and asked, "What now?!"

He Yushui said: "Now, even if you drive me away, I won't leave! I will rely on you for the rest of my life!"

He Yuzhu said, "As long as you are willing, I will keep you forever." Then He Yuzhu grabbed a bun and stuffed it into He Yushui's hand, urging, "Don't just stand there! Eat it quickly! It won't taste good if it gets cold!"

"Director Wang, why are you here?!" Yan Bugui greeted Wang Xia with a smile when he saw her.

"Old Yan!" Wang Xia said with a smile, "I'll bring someone to look at the house."

Yan Bugui said, "Director Wang, our courtyard has no other houses except the three back houses in the front yard and the Jia family's house in the middle yard."

Wang Xia said, "Speaking of the back house. Old Yan, tell the people in your courtyard to take the things away. In a couple of days, the comrades from the Housing Management Office will come to repair the house. After the repair, they will arrange for someone to move in." After that, Wang Xia said to the man next to her who was wearing an old military uniform, "Comrade Gao, come with me to see the house!"

"Hey!" Gao Dajun responded and followed Wang Xia to the central courtyard.

After Wang Xia left, the third aunt came out of the house and asked, "Old Yan, who were you talking to just now?!"

Yan Bugui replied, "Director Wang. She brought someone to look at the house."

The third aunt said anxiously: "She divided the Jia family's house. What should we do?!"

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Director Wang just said that in a couple of days, the comrades from the Housing Management Office will come over to repair the back house and then divide the house up. When the house is almost finished, I will go to the Street Office to talk to Director Wang and try to find a way to allocate a house to him."

The third aunt said, "The back house is not as good as the west wing."

Yan Bugui said, "I also know that the back house is not as good as the west wing, but the west wing is too eye-catching. Besides, the west wing is in the middle courtyard, how can it be as close as the back house?!"

The third aunt thought about it and nodded, "That's true. Don't forget this! "

Walking into the middle courtyard, Wang Xia pointed to the west wing and said, "This is it." After that, Wang Xia took out the key and opened the door, saying, "The original resident here made a mistake and was forced to stay. The house was taken back by our street office."

Gao Dajun followed Wang Xia into the room, looked around, and said, "Director Wang, let's take this one!"

"Okay!" Wang Xia responded, saying, "Take the key first. Come with me to the street office later to complete the formalities. The rent is two yuan per month, which will be deducted from your salary in the future." Then she asked, "Have you arranged your work?!"

Gao Dajun replied: "The work has been arranged. Five Star Brewery Security Department."

"Hello, Security Department!" Wang Xia echoed and took Gao Dajun out of the west wing.

He Yuzhu heard the noise and came out of the house, calling out, "Auntie Wang!"

Wang Xia stopped and asked, "Zhu Zi, what's the matter?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Aunt Wang, on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Huang Ying and I will hold our wedding. We plan to set up a few tables and invite some relatives and friends. You must come! The venue is in the third canteen of the steel rolling mill."

Wang Xia said: "Your Huang Ying has already told me. Don't worry! I will definitely go!"

He Yuzhu said, "Aunt Wang, Huang Ying and I have discussed this. We will not accept any gifts at our wedding. We just want everyone to get together."

"Okay!" Wang Xia knew He Yuzhu's temper and agreed readily.

After walking out of the courtyard, Gao Dajun asked, "Director Wang, who was that person just now?!"

Wang Xia replied, "His name is He Yuzhu. He is the chef of the canteen of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Don't underestimate him because he is young. He is very skilled. He is well-known in our area, not just in the city. His partner is the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau in our area." Then Wang Xia introduced the situation of No. 95 Courtyard in Nanluoguxiang to Gao Dajun. After listening to Wang Xia's introduction, Gao Dajun had a better idea. But after all, hearsay is deception. Only by living there can you know the real situation of the courtyard.

After arriving at the street office, Gao Dajun completed all the formalities and then rushed to the brewery. After completing the remaining formalities, Gao Dajun went to the post office and sent a telegram to his wife in his hometown, asking her to bring the children to reunite in Sijiucheng.
