I am a cripple in the Siheyuan. Who am I afraid of?

Chapter 567 The Song Family’s House

Shazhu is indeed an interesting person. He looked old when he was young, but now that he is really old, it doesn't look that way anymore.

I was in my early 20s this morning but looked like I was in my 40s or s. Now that I’m in my s, I still look like I’m in my s or s.

The other day, Bang Geng was doing some work in the yard, and he helped out for two days.

At first, Qin Huairu didn't ask him to help, and brought Ma Hua and Liu Lan. Later, she suddenly said that there were too many guests, and Ma Hua and Liu Lan were too busy to handle it. So she invited Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu was still wondering, isn't it just an engagement? It's not a wedding. The two cooks are too busy to handle it, how big a deal is this? Later when the others arrived, he realized that it was really a lot. Even with him, he was still a little busy.

At first, he was busy at the stove in the back, and he didn't know who was coming, but he knew there were a lot of people. He heard the adults and children in the yard in front making a lot of noise. But they were too busy at the stove in the back to think or see more.

Later, when the work was done, Liu Lan told me that Lou Xiao'e had returned. Moreover, all the people who came to do business today were acquaintances.

Especially his sister He Yushui, who had complicated emotions, also came back.

In the main room of the middle courtyard, Zhang Guifen took out the candies she had put there with a smile, grabbed a handful each, and stuffed them into the hands of the two children enthusiastically.

She was also amazed in her heart. Look how beautiful these two girls are. He Yushui was pregnant when she left. This big one should be the one.

What's her name? By the way, when I introduced her just now, I said her name is Song Xiaohe. She is only twelve or thirteen years old this year, and she is as tall as her mother. She looks pretty, and she looks about 70% like Gao Xiaomiao.

The younger one is 8 years old this year. Her name is Song Xiaoyu. If it weren't for their age, they would look like twins.

Looking at He Yushui again, her belly was obviously bulging. It looked like she was pregnant with another baby.

Zhang Guifen smiled and asked enthusiastically, "Yushui, how old is the baby now?"

He Yushui touched her belly with a happy look on her face and said with a smile, "It's six or seven months. This time we'll give them a little brother. Song Wu said the name will be Song Xiaoshui."

Zhang Guifen laughed: "So your name has been used up. If you are born again next time, what name will you use?"

He Yushui looked at Xiao He and Xiao Yu and said, "As for me, I should probably use up all the names. The three of them are enough. But how are your children? Any news?"

Zhang Guifen's smile froze on her face, her eyes soon turned red, and she sighed.

The couple tried very hard, but they just couldn't succeed in cultivating flowers.

Seeing so many children of different ages coming back this time made Zhang Guifen very jealous. However, Sha Zhu, who was sitting on the side, didn't care too much and said in a relaxed tone: "He Shunli is fine. I think maybe one day he will come back, and maybe he will even have a daughter-in-law, so I don't have to worry about him."

When He Yushui faced Sha Zhu again, she thought she would have a lot of thoughts in her mind, but she didn't expect her to be so calm.

Although we know that we are not related by blood, we have been dependent on each other for many years when we were young, so our feelings are still very deep.

He Yushui said to Sha Zhu, "I plan to go to Hebei to see my dad in the next two days and then bring him back."

Sha Zhu, who was originally looking relaxed, froze for a moment. Then he smiled unnaturally, "It's time to go and bring them back. How about we go together?" He Yushui shook his head, "I'll take Xiao He and Xiao Yu with me. Let them meet Grandpa. You just wait here. After all, there are some things and things I need to ask him first."

Sha Zhu was silent, nodded and stopped talking.

At this time, He Yushui said to Sha Zhu again, "Sha Ge, Song Wu wants to exchange houses with you. Do you want to live in a building? If you do, Lou Xiao'e is going to build a building soon. You can use the rooms in this compound to exchange with a slightly larger area. For example, your three main rooms now are about 50 square meters. Then you can exchange them for a two-bedroom apartment with 60 or 65 square meters. The kitchen and bathroom are in the same apartment. It has heating and natural gas."

Sha Zhu didn't react, but Zhang Guifen's eyes suddenly lit up. She had lived in the old house for a long time. It was very troublesome to go to the bathroom and empty the urine pot. In addition, the house was old, and no matter how much it was repaired, it still couldn't stop it. There were places that were uncomfortable here and there.

"Can we really change the building? Where is the building located?"

He Yushui smiled and said, "The first batch, in cooperation with the government's housing reform, is mainly concentrated in the east and south. There is a new residential complex on the riverside not far from our steel mill that will start construction soon."

Zhang Guifen was even more satisfied when she heard this. Dongzhimen is just a few steps away from the river. It takes only 5 minutes to ride a bike to Beixinqiao, which is even closer than here.

But the area is a bit small, only about 60 square meters. She knows that the larger the area of ​​the building, the more comfortable it is. Otherwise, it will seem a bit cramped.

Zhang Guifen rolled her eyes, and then pulled Shazhu, who was a little dazed, and said, "Don't be dazed. I think it's okay. I'm tired of living in this old house in the compound. I heard that those good units have buildings, and they are very convenient to live in. Why don't you just change the house that the deaf old lady left for you? We can either change to two adjacent houses or a larger one."

He Yushui looked at Zhang Guifen strangely. Zhang Guifen smiled and said to He Yushui, "It was hard to say a few years ago, but I think things are more relaxed now, so there's nothing to hide. The old lady in the backyard completed the formalities before she left, and left her rooms to your brother."

Sha Zhu raised his head and said to He Yushui, "Don't you still have the deeds for these rooms? Why are you asking me?"

Zhang Guifen was stunned. It was the first time she knew that the house deed of his house was not in her hands, but given to He Yushui.

He Yushui didn't care about Zhang Guifen's expression. She said to Sha Zhu, "So those don't count anymore. Your house is your house. If you don't want to change it, I won't hold it for you. I'll give it back to you."

She doesn't like the houses in a large courtyard anymore. There are villas in Hong Kong and there are also many courtyard houses in Beijing. Will she care about these?
Sha Zhu turned his head and looked at Zhang Guifen who looked eager. To be honest, he was reluctant to leave these old houses. Anyway, he always felt that these houses were comfortable to live in, especially living in the yard. How could it be compared with buildings?

However, there were also some things that made him uncomfortable living in this courtyard. The main thing was that he could no longer find a sense of peace and quiet. The main reason was that the neighbors around him were not nice.

In addition, this time, the shock of so many people coming back at once was quite big for him. If there were to be these people in the hospital every day in the future, he would be very uncomfortable.

Sha Zhu asked He Yushui: "Song Wu wants to take over the entire yard?"

He Yuyu shook his head.

Sha Zhu just breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, He Yushui continued, "It's not Brother Song Wu. Brother Song Wu doesn't have any interest in it. It's Lou Xiao'e. She wants to take over the entire yard. She has already discussed it with the street and government offices. She wants to use the newly built building to negotiate with the government to move out all the tenants who originally lived in the yard."

He Yuzhu's eyes widened, and he blurted out, "What on earth does she want to do?"

He Yushui smiled and said, "It's very simple. She thinks this is also the ancestral home of Brother Song Wu. So she plans to take it all down and renovate it to be the Song family's house."

Sha Zhu was in a daze, muttering in a low voice: "Song family's house, Song family's house..."
