Siheyuan: My life is my decision

The uncle was so uncomfortable with He Yuzhu's eyes that he couldn't help but have doubts. Is there something wrong with me?

Thinking of this, the uncle lowered his head and looked at himself several times. There was nothing wrong, but that look in his eyes

The uncle raised his head and looked at He Yuzhu who was smiling

"No young man, why are you looking at me?"

"Uncle, you have a cart here. I can borrow it. Look at such a big table. I had a hard time moving it just now. I just rode a bicycle. I really can't get it back. Can you help me?"

He Yuzhu took out an unopened pack of cigarettes from his pocket (space) and stuffed it into the uncle's palm.

The uncle looked at the cigarette in his hand, then looked at He Yuzhu

"Young man, it's not that I won't help. The main reason is that this trolley belongs to the public. I can't make the decision on my own."

"If this thing is lost, I will be in trouble..."

"Uncle, I know all what you said, so I can pay to rent it. I live not far from here, and my bicycle is also stored here. When I return the bicycle later, you are putting it away. Give me the bike back”

He Yuzhu looked at the uncle and said, put the bicycle here. He thought about it and found that it was very feasible.

One is that the bicycle has been registered with the vehicle management office, and there is a code stamp on the body, which is consistent with the code in the bicycle license booklet in my hand. Anyway, I hold the booklet in my hand.

Another thing, this scrap station is a state-owned unit. Although it is just a place to collect scraps, it is an iron rice bowl after all.

"Okay, you have to return the cart in time."

The uncle thought for a moment and finally nodded.

"Uncle, how much does this cost in total?"

"A table costs [-] cents, six stools cost [-] cents each, plus the rent of a trolley costs [-] cents, the total is eight dollars and [-] cents."

"Here, uncle, here are nine dollars."

He Yuzhu handed the money to the uncle

The uncle took the money, took out fifty cents from his pocket and handed it to He Yuzhu

"Uncle, there's no need to change. This money will be used as the cost of looking after the bicycle for me."

He Yuzhu blocked the money back

The uncle squinted his eyes and looked at He Yuzhu. This young man is good and knows how to do things.

"Okay, uncle, I promise to take good care of your bicycle and there will never be any damage."

"Then thank you uncle"

With the help of his uncle, He Yuzhu pulled the cart containing mahogany tables and chairs out of the scrap yard.

After walking not far, He Yuzhu felt a little tired. It is said that his body had been transformed, but it was just a table. How could it be so heavy?

Even if it's made of solid wood, it shouldn't be so heavy.

He Yuzhu gritted his teeth and persisted while pulling the cart. He found no opportunity to earn money along the way. There were people coming and going on the road.

It was already past twelve o'clock when we returned to the courtyard

Everyone else in the courtyard was surprised to see He Yuzhu walk in, sweating profusely, pulling the table.

"Zhuzi, what are you..."

The third aunt asked

"Third aunt, isn't my room a kang? The tables and benches are almost broken, so I'll replace them together."

"Zhuzi, your table looks very beautiful. Where did you buy it?"

"I was originally going to find a carpenter to make a set of desks. Today, when I passed by a scrap collection station, I found this table. It looks pretty good. If I wash it, it will look like new. It will be better than buying a new one. The sets are also cheaper”

"Zhuzi, you know how to live a good life."

An aunt in the front yard joked:

"Hey, why don't you learn from the third uncle?"

"Zhuzi, you're going to investigate your third uncle again."

The third aunt looked at He Yuzhu

"Hahaha, Third Aunt, don't be angry. I was just joking. I have to pull this thing in."

"Okay, then slow down"

“Good third aunt”

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he pulled the cart to the door of his small courtyard.

Two brothers, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang, who were splitting the bed, hurriedly dropped their things and ran up when they saw He Yuzhu coming in with a cart.

"Brother Zhuzi, I'm coming"

Yan Jiecheng said that he was about to take over He Yuzhu's cart. Now He Yuzhu was holding on with just one breath. If he relaxed now, he would definitely fall down.

"It's okay. You two can help push me from behind. It's just a few steps away."

He Yuzhu did not let go and continued to pull the cart forward.

The two brothers Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang hurriedly pushed hard from behind.

Finally pulled in front of the door, He Yuzhu leaned against the cart, gasping for breath, and his winter clothes and underwear were all soaked with sweat.

Yan Jiefang took a stool from the cart and placed it in front of He Yuzhu

"Brother Zhuzi, sit down and rest for a while. I'll get you a glass of water."

He Yuzhu waved his hand and sat down holding the cart.

Yan Jiecheng untied the rope that tied the table and took the stools into the small courtyard one by one.

"Come on, Brother Zhuzhu, have a drink of water."

Yan Jiefang handed the water to He Yuzhu, and then took a stool in each hand.

The brothers took all the stools in after two trips back and forth.

He Yuzhu took the teapot and drank all the water in the teapot in one breath.

Now I feel my body has recovered a lot

When He Yuzhu stood up, the two brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiecheng were carrying the Eight Immortals table. However, the table was too heavy and the two brothers failed to move it down after several attempts.

"Brother Zhuzi, what kind of wood is this table made of? Why is it so heavy?"

Yan Jiefang looked at the table on the trolley and said

"This is a table made of mahogany. I recovered it from the scrapyard. I thought it looked good at the time, but I couldn't figure out why it was so heavy."

He Yuzhu sighed and said

"You two wait here"

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he walked into the small courtyard. The small courtyard was filled with tables, chairs, benches, wardrobes and beds.

There are also some supplies for the Kang bed purchased by MCA’s father. There are many things, but they are not cluttered. Everything is placed separately.

It seems clear

Ma Hua's father was in He Yuzhu's room directing his two apprentices to sit on the kang inside.

"old man"

He Yuzhu stood at the door and looked at Ma Hua's father

"The pillar is back?"

After hearing He Yuzhu's voice, Ma Hua's father turned around and looked at He Yuzhu standing at the door.

"Yes, old man, you are progressing very quickly."

The kang in He Yuzhu's room is already one-third full.

"It's not bad. According to the current progress, your room can be finished in two days, and then you can finish the outer penthouse. The smaller one will be finished in a day and a half."

Ma Hua’s father said

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, I'll rest assured."

"Old man, have you finished your meal?"

"Not yet. I'm just getting ready to pack up and go back to eat."

"Old man, don't go back to eat. I'll treat you to lunch today."

He Yuzhu said

"How can that be okay? We have already taken your money and it is our duty to work. How can we eat your food?"

The old man waved his hand quickly

"Old man, please don't refuse. I actually have selfish motives. I just went to the scrapyard and bought a table, but the table is too heavy. I want to trouble your two apprentices to help carry it in."

"No problem, it's just a table moved, no need to invite a meal."

The old man still refused, but he stopped the two apprentices who were working and came over.

"You two follow him and help move the table."

"Okay, Master"

He Yuzhu took a look and decided not to argue. He would take them directly to the state-owned hotel later. It was not far from here anyway.

He Yuzhu took these two people to the entrance of the small courtyard.
