Chapter 304 Buying a House
In late autumn of 1975, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle home from get off work as usual. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Yan Bugui on the way. He Yuzhu braked his bicycle and asked, "Uncle, what are you doing?!"
Yan Bugui said, "Zhu Zi, the matter you asked me to inquire about has some clues."
He Yuzhu immediately became interested, quickly got off his bicycle, followed Yan Bugui to the side, and asked, "Uncle, where is the house?!"
Yan Bugui said: "Zhu Zi, that house is not bad. It's just that it's a private house and they don't plan to change it, they just want to sell it."
He Yuzhu said, "Uncle San, you know the current situation. The house cannot be bought or sold."
Yan Bugui said: "Every policy has its own countermeasures. As long as you like, I can find a way to transfer the house to your name."
He Yuzhu raised his wrist to check the time on his watch and said, "Uncle, do you have time today? Can you take me to see the house?!"
"Okay! Come with me!" After saying that, Yan Bugui took He Yuzhu and walked into the alley next door.
After walking for about ten minutes, Yan Bugui and He Yuzhu arrived in front of a black door. Yan Bugui reached out and knocked on the door. Not long after, the door opened. An old man stuck his head out and saw Yan Bugui and He Yuzhu. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter, you two?!"
Yan Bugui asked: "Are you Mr. Wu Yongshan?!"
Wu Yongshan looked at Yan Bugui again and said, "I don't know you."
Yan Bugui replied, "You don't know me. I know you. I was playing chess with someone yesterday and heard that you were planning to go back to your hometown."
When Wu Yongshan heard this, he immediately understood what was going on and said, "You two come in!"
After He Yuzhu and Yan Bugui entered, Wu Yongshan closed the door and said, "This is a courtyard with three entrances. Take a look first! Then we can talk about things."
He Yuzhu parked his bike and followed Yan Bugui to walk around. Although this courtyard is a three-story courtyard, it is much smaller than the courtyard at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, but the layout is very complete. He looked carefully from front to back. He Yuzhu and Yan Bugui came to Wu Yongshan. He Yuzhu said, "Uncle Wu, I like this house very much."
Wu Yongshan said, "I see you are straightforward people. I won't hide anything from you. If you go out and ask around, you'll know the situation of my family. I'm the only one left in the family now. There's no point in me keeping such a big yard. And it's just a nuisance to me."
Yan Bugui asked: "How much money do you want?!"
Wu Yongshan replied, "The price is three thousand five hundred. You pay a deposit of five hundred first, and the rest after the transfer is completed."
He Yuzhu said, "Sir, houses are not popular for sale nowadays."
Wu Yongshan replied with a smile: "Don't worry about it. I have my own way."
He Yuzhu asked: "Uncle, are you taking all the furniture in your room with you?!"
Wu Yongshan replied: "I didn't bring anything. I only brought some replacement clothes and money."
He Yuzhu reached into his pocket and took out five hundred yuan, and asked, "Uncle, when will the transfer be completed?!"
Wu Yongshan took the money, counted it, and said with a smile: "You can do it now! Tomorrow morning, you can come to collect the room. You can give me the rest of the money tomorrow."
"Okay!" He Yuzhu responded, and Wu Yongshan followed He Yuzhu out the door.
It's true that this old man Wu Yongshan is quite capable. When he arrived at the Housing Management Office, Wu Yongshan walked to a table and knocked on it. The staff member who was dozing off was awakened and was about to get angry, but when he saw Wu Yongshan's face, he immediately smiled and asked, "Uncle Wu, why are you here?!"
Wu Yongshan took out the house deed and the land deed and said, "Help me complete the transfer procedures."
The staff member said with a bitter face: "Uncle Wu, please don't embarrass me."
Wu Yongshan took out two hundred yuan, slapped it on the table, and said, "I was the one who saved you back then. You're not willing to help me with such a small favor."
The staff member put the money in his pocket, pretended to compromise, and said, "Who made you my uncle?!" Then he asked, "Who are you transferring it to?!"
Wu Yongshan said: "It's the man next to me."
He Yuzhu hurriedly stepped forward, took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it over, saying: "My name is He Yuzhu. He is the person who can be called, the rain on a rainy day, and the wooden master pillar."
The staff member took a look at the cigarette in He Yuzhu's hand, wrote down He Yuzhu's name, and said, "Wait a moment." Then the staff member took the land deed and the house deed to the next office. About a quarter of an hour later, the staff member came back and handed the new land deed and the house deed to Wu Yongshan, saying, "Uncle Wu, everything is ready. Please take a look."
Wu Yongshan took the land deed and the house deed, looked at them carefully, and said, "No problem! I'll leave first."
"Mr. Wu, take care!" The staff member smiled and sent Wu Yuanshan and the other two away. He heaved a sigh of relief, then reached into his pocket and muttered, "This old man is really generous."
After leaving the Housing Management Office, Wu Yongshan said, "Bring the money here tomorrow, and the house and land deeds will be yours."
"Okay! I'll come to your place at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning." He Yuzhu agreed on the time with Wu Yongshan, and then left with Yan Bugui.
When they reached a deserted place, He Yuzhu took out thirty-five yuan and said, "Uncle, this is your hard work fee. Please keep it. Please continue to look for a house for me."
Yan Bugui took the money with a smile and said, "Zhu Zi, I won't be polite then." After that, Yan Bugui counted the money, put it into his coat pocket with a smile, and said, "Zhu Zi, it's not easy for me to earn this money."
"Uncle, please stop talking. I understand!" He Yuzhu then asked, "I heard Jiefang got married?!"
Yan Bugui replied, "Yes, she is married. But she is a country girl. She is related to Qin Huairu, the wife of Jia Dongxu in our courtyard. If Qin Huairu had not ruined the reputation of their village, this girl would not have been liberated by my family."
He Yuzhu asked: "What's the girl's name?!"
Yan Bugui replied with a smile: "Qin Jingru."
"Hey?!" He Yuzhu cried out unconsciously, muttering to himself: "Things have changed. How come this woman still married into a courtyard house?!" He Yuzhu quickly came to his senses and complimented: "Third Uncle, you are so lucky!"
Yan Bugui grinned and said, "Zhu Zi, you are right. The feng shui of that yard is not good."
He Yuzhu chatted with Yan Bugui for a while, and Yan Bugui said goodbye and left. He Yuzhu rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.
When He Yuzhu was busy cooking, He Bing came back with his brothers and sisters. As soon as they entered the door, He Qing ran into the kitchen and asked, "Dad, what delicious food are you going to make for us today?!"
He Yuzhu put down what he was holding, turned around, scratched He Qing's nose, and said, "You little greedy cat. How did you do on the exam?!"
He Qing replied, "Dad, don't worry! The three of us are once again in the top three in the grade."
"It's not easy to be in the top three in the grade! Go out and have a rest! The food will be ready soon! Today we have your favorite stewed beef with potatoes." After saying that, He Yuzhu drove He Qing out of the kitchen and continued to busy himself with the dishes in his hands.
