Chapter 217 He Yuzhu's Efficiency
At about 3:30 in the afternoon, He Yuzhu appeared at the gate of the street office. He Yuzhu took out a pack of Da Shengchan cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed it into the hand of the gatekeeper, and asked, "Uncle, is my Aunt Wang here?!"
"Yes, please come in!" the doorman replied and went back to the doorman's office.
He Yuzhu pushed the bicycle into the gate of the street office, locked it, and went straight to the door of Wang Xia's office and knocked on it.
Wang Xia heard the knock on the door and shouted, "Come in!"
He Yuzhu pushed the door open and walked into Wang Xia's office, calling out, "Auntie Wang!"
Wang Xia smiled and said, "Zhu Zi, you are a rare guest! Please take a seat! I will come over after I finish my work."
"Hey!" He Yuzhu responded and walked to the bench and sat down. About ten minutes later, Wang Xia finished her work, walked to He Yuzhu and sat down, and asked, "Zhuzi, what do you want to talk to me about today?!"
He Yuzhu said, "Aunt Wang, as you know, I found jobs for several brothers from my grandfather's family in our factory. Some of them are about to reach marriageable age. Originally, four people lived together, all men, and there was nothing to be shy about. Now, there are women after marriage. It is not convenient to mix them together. I know that the housing supply of the street office is also very tight. I want to ask if there is an abandoned yard. We can rent it and repair the house ourselves. This way, it can also reduce the trouble of the street office."
Wang Xia said, "Zhu Zi, you are lucky. Recently, the higher-ups have issued a document on how to deal with abandoned yards. The subdistrict office is also planning to deal with a number of such yards. Although buying and selling are not allowed now, they can be rented. The rent varies according to the size of the yard. But we won't take advantage of you. The money spent on repairing the house will be converted into rent and deducted. After the money is deducted, you can pay the rent later."
He Yuzhu asked: "Auntie Wang, what are the yards that the street office needs to deal with now? If they are suitable, I will rent them now."
"Let's go! I'll take you to the Housing Management Office to ask." After that, Wang Xia took He Yuzhu out of the office.
With Wang Xia leading the way, the Housing Management Office did not make things difficult for He Yuzhu. They directly took out the detailed list and let He Yuzhu choose by himself. He Yuzhu did not dare to choose a place that was too big, nor did he want to choose a small one. In the end, he chose a two-story courtyard in Jingyang Hutong.
Wang Xia saw the people from the Housing Management Office had a strange look on their faces when they heard the place He Yuzhu chose, and couldn't help asking, "What?! Is there something wrong with the house here?!"
The staff of the Housing Management Office said, "It's a nice place. Unfortunately, except for the main house in the backyard, which hasn't collapsed yet, but it's almost there, the other houses are in a mess. Unlike the houses in other places, at least they still look good. If you want to live there, you almost have to tear it down and rebuild it."
He Yuzhu asked: "If we really rebuild it, will you approve it?!"
The person from the Housing Management Office replied: "It can be approved. But the house can only be built in a two-entry layout."
He Yuzhu asked: "If the money is small, can we build a two-courtyard plot as if it were a one-courtyard plot?!"
The staff of the Housing Management Office thought about it and nodded, "Okay! But the rent will be calculated based on two yards."
He Yuzhu thought about it and asked, "How much is the monthly rent for a two-story courtyard house now?!"
The person from the Housing Management Office replied, "Twenty dollars. But according to your situation, fifteen dollars will be enough."
He Yuzhu said, "I will rent this yard." Then he asked, "Comrade, do I need to go through any formalities?!"
The staff of the Housing Management Office said: "First, go to your unit to get an allocation form. Then go to the street office to get an application certificate. Then come to the Housing Management Office to register."
"Okay! I'll go to the factory to get a certificate right away." After saying that, He Yuzhu said hello to Wang Xia and left the Housing Management Office in a hurry.
More than half an hour later, He Yuzhu found Wang Xia with the allocation form issued by the factory. Wang Xia handed the application certificate that had been issued long ago to He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu then rushed to the housing management office without stopping to complete all the formalities, and returned home with the rental certificate.
When Lu Shunyi was about to go home after playing chess, he saw He Yuzhu looking very happy and asked with a smile: "Zhuzi, what are you so happy about?!"
He Yuzhu looked around and said mysteriously, "Grandpa, I won't tell you now. Let's talk about it when we get back!"
"This kid is so mysterious. I really don't know what he is up to!" Lu Shunyi muttered and followed He Yuzhu into the gate of the courtyard.
After returning home, He Yuzhu took a sip of water and said, "Grandpa, I did something big this afternoon."
Lu Shunyi asked curiously: "What's the big deal?!"
He Yuzhu said, "Look, Taishan already has a girlfriend. The house they live in now is too small, and all the people living there are men, so it will be inconvenient for them to do things there in the future. In the afternoon, I went to the street office after get off work to inquire about it. Unexpectedly, there was a place available. So I rented it. But the house there has been uninhabited for a long time, and it has become dilapidated. So it needs to be repaired. When it is repaired, Taishan will be getting married, so they can just move in there. By then, Taihe can also live there, and the place they live in now will be given to my uncle and Dongzi."
"Wait!" Lu Shunyi came back to his senses and asked, "You just said that Taishan is dating someone?!"
He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Yes! They just started talking about it. When things become stable, he will bring the girl to his house."
"What are you two talking about?!" Cui Juan walked in from outside holding He Bing and asked with a smile.
He Yuzhu repeated what he had just said to Cui Juan. After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Cui Juan immediately showed a happy smile on her face and said, "Great! Great! Taishan got married and had a child. We can help take care of the child."
Lu Shunyi said, "Old lady, Taishan has just started dating someone, and we don't know the outcome yet! Don't be too happy too soon."
Cui Juan said: "My grandson, don't I know it?! Just wait and see! There will be news soon."
He Yuzhu didn't stay here to watch the old man and the old woman quarreling, and went into the kitchen obediently.
A little after eight o'clock in the evening, He Yuzhu and Huang Ying returned to the room. Without waiting for Huang Ying to speak, He Yuzhu told Huang Ying about Lu Taishan's affairs and the matter of renting a house. When Huang Ying learned the true situation of the house He Yuzhu rented, she showed a puzzled expression on her face. He Yuzhu told Huang Ying his thoughts.
After listening to He Yuzhu's narration, Huang Ying asked, "Zhuzi, if we can't buy this house in the future, wouldn't that be a big loss?!"
He Yuzhu said: "I didn't say to restore the house to its original state. My standard is that it can be lived in. According to the rural housing standards, it won't cost much."
When handling formalities in the afternoon, He Yuzhu asked the Housing Management Office. The Housing Management Office has a special construction team. Rebuilding the house according to He Yuzhu's requirements would cost only 700 yuan at most. He Yuzhu didn't like the trouble, so he paid 500 yuan directly and would pay the rest after the completion.
Huang Ying reached out and grabbed He Yuzhu's ear, asking, "It won't cost much?! How much will it cost?!"
"Let go! Let go! If you don't let go, it will fall!" He Yuzhu took advantage of Huang Ying's inattention and pounced on her. Then a beautiful and harmonious voice came from the room.
