Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Chapter 298 Yan Bugui Moves

When Yan Jiefang put the eggs back into the basket, Yan Bugui stared at the other basket and asked, "Jiefang, what's in that one?!"

Yan Jiefang looked up at his father and replied, "Game. And some bacon."

When Yan Bugui heard that there was meat, he smiled and asked, "Jiefang, can you leave some at home?!"

Yan Jiefang said, "Dad, it's not appropriate to leave things at home now. Besides, I just found a job. If I get reported, it's not worth losing my job. Let's wait until we move to a new place."

Yan Bugui said: "Jiefang, I have never asked you. How did you get your job?!"

Yan Jiefang said, "You don't have to worry about it. Anyway, I have done nothing wrong." Yan Jiefang said this, but he was muttering in his heart, "Dad, I am doing this for your own good. If you really tell the truth, you will probably die right where you are."

After a while, the third aunt came in with boiled eggs. Yan Bugui, who was just chatting with Yan Jiefang, smelled the egg fragrance and felt a pain in his heart. Yan Jiefang pretended not to see Yan Bugui's expression, and peeled three eggs quickly, stuffed one into his own mouth, and stuffed the other two into the mouths of Yan Bugui and the third aunt.

Yan Bugui said: "Jiefang, it's not good to eat eggs at night!"

Yan Jiefang replied, "Dad! It's good enough that we have something to eat. You are so picky. If you don't want to eat it, keep it. My mom and I will eat more to nourish our bodies."

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "You want to take my share? No way!"

There was no conversation that night. The next morning, Yan Jiefang left half of the cured chicken, bacon and cured rabbit at home. He took the remaining cured meat and eggs to his workplace.

At the same time, He Yuzhu received a letter from He Daqing. In addition to asking He Yuzhu how he was, the letter also wanted He Yuzhu to find a way to help his stepmother's eldest daughter get a job. He Yuzhu had a strange feeling after reading the letter. It's good enough that he can manage himself now, how can he manage others? ! He Yuzhu didn't delay any more and went directly to Li Guangquan's office. He greeted Li Guangquan, then picked up the phone and said to the switchboard: "External line!"

After a while, the signal came back, and He Yuzhu dialed the phone number of He Daqing's current workplace. Not long after, the call was connected. He Yuzhu said, "This is the cafeteria of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. I'm looking for He Daqing from your factory."

"Just wait!" Then the microphone was put aside.

After two or three minutes, He Daqing ran to the phone, picked up the phone, and said, "Hello! This is He Daqing!"

"Dad!" He Yuzhu called out and asked, "How have you been lately?!"

He Daqing replied: "Very good!"

He Yuzhu continued, "I have received the letter. Dad, you are giving me a difficult problem. Why is it so easy to find a job nowadays?!"

He Daqing said: "Zhu Zi, you have been in Sijiu City for so long, don't you have any solution?!"

He Yuzhu said: "I don't have a solution. But I do have an idea."

He Daqing asked: "What idea?!"

He Yuzhu said: "You are almost old, why not retire early and give up your job."

"Shazhu! You silly boy, what kind of idea is this?!" He Daqing yelled angrily into the phone.

"Then I have no other choice! You should think about it carefully!" After saying that, He Yuzhu hung up the phone.

He Daqing was so angry when he heard the busy tone on the phone! But he had no place to vent. He could only swallow his anger. Since He Yuzhu had no hope, He Daqing could only think of another way.

In a blink of an eye, a week passed. He Yuzhu was just about to go to work when he saw Yan Bugui directing people to move things. He Yuzhu stopped and asked, "Uncle, are you moving?!"

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Some time ago, one of my students had to go to work in another city. He was the only one left at home. When he left, the house became empty. So I exchanged the house here with his."

He Yuzhu asked: "Uncle San, where are you moving to?!"

Yan Bugui replied, "It's not far from here, in Mianhua Alley."

He Yuzhu said, "The house there is nice. Third uncle, I am not saying anything to hurt you. With your old temper, your life would be over. You can live the life you have now thanks to your family's liberation. If you rely on the other members of your family, I guess no one will care about you and Third Aunt even if you die."

Yan Bugui said angrily: "He Yuzhu, what are you talking about?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Human language!" Then He Yuzhu walked to Yan Bugui's ear and asked, "Third uncle, you are also a learned man. Do you think that the feng shui of our courtyard is not very good?! Let's not talk about the front yard, let's talk about the middle yard. First, Jia Dongxu's father died. Then my father eloped with a widow. Then there was the matter of Yi Zhonghai. In all these things, except for my father who left the city, no one else had a good ending."

Yan Bugui asked: "Zhu Zi, since the feng shui of this yard is not good, why don't you move?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "I want to move too! Isn't there a suitable house here?! Also, my house is too big, I would feel unbalanced if I move to a smaller one."

At this time, Yan Bugui also remembered that Xu Damao asked him to help find a house, and his heart skipped a beat. Although he felt that He Yuzhu's words were a bit weird, people of their generation still believed in such things. Yan Bugui immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Zhuzi, I will keep an eye out for you later. If there is a suitable house, I will come to find you."

He Yuzhu smiled and agreed, "Okay! I'll entrust this matter to you, Uncle San! Don't worry, you will get all the benefits." After that, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to work.

Yan Bugui stared at He Yuzhu's back and was in a daze. The third aunt came to Yan Bugui with a cloth bag containing all the family's belongings and asked, "What did He Yuzhu say to you just now?!"

Yan Bugui suddenly asked, "Old lady, do you think the feng shui of this courtyard is not very good?!"

"Old Yan, what did you say?!" the third aunt asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Yan Bugui came back to his senses and said hurriedly, "Nothing! I was just asking casually. He Yuzhu also asked me to help them keep an eye on the house, just like Xu Damao."

The third aunt asked, "Old Yan, why do He Yuzhu and Xu Damao have to move to another place for no reason?!"

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes at his wife in displeasure and said, "I'll tell you tonight."

After the Yan family moved out, the people who had difficulty finding a place to live in the courtyard began to set their sights on the Yan family's house in the front yard. They all rushed to the street office. But it was useless for them to go there, because the vacant house of the Yan family was already occupied. The street office divided the Yan family's house among three families.

He Yuzhu arrived at the factory, changed into work clothes, and just started chatting with the kitchen helpers when Li Guangquan ran in from outside and said, "Zhuzi, there's a call for you!"

He Yuzhu asked: "Director, who is calling?!"

Li Guangquan said: "It was a woman who called. She asked for you by name."

"Okay! I'll be there right away." After saying that, He Yuzhu happily ran to the canteen director's office.

"Hello! I'm He Yuzhu. Who is this?!" He Yuzhu walked into the office and picked up the phone and asked.

"Zhu Zi!" The voice of Sister Qiao came from the other end of the phone.

He Yuzhu asked hurriedly: "Sister Qiao, what's the matter?!"

Sister Qiao said, "Zhu Zi, my husband Wang and I will leave Sijiu City the day after tomorrow."

He Yuzhu said, "Sister Qiao, tomorrow is Sunday, I'll go to your house."

"Hey!" Sister Qiao responded and hung up the phone.

He Yuzhu frowned as he heard the busy tone on the phone, muttering to himself, "It's better to leave! At least it's safe!"
