The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

He Yuzhu thought about it and agreed, then nodded and went back to find He Yu.

The next day, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle away with He Yu on the back.

When they arrived near Tsinghua University, He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle and looked at the surrounding houses.

At this moment, a soldier noticed He Yuzhu looking around, knowing that there were many saboteurs around.

He then came over and asked He Yuzhu:

"Comrade, I see you looking around here, what are you doing here?"

Chapter 58: Going to Buy a House

Upon seeing this, He Yuzhu said with great joy:

"Hello, brother. My name is He Yuzhu. I just took the college entrance examination and applied to Tsinghua University."

It's just me and my younger sister left in my family. My sister is seven years old this year. I want to take care of my sister when I go to college.

I'm not here to check if there are any houses for sale or rent near Tsinghua University.

When school starts, it will be easier for me to take care of my sister.

Another thing is that I want to find a primary school nearby for my younger sister to attend!

After all, He Yuzhu is only seventeen years old, and with his mastery of martial arts at the Golden Body level, he looks very young.

The soldier heard He Yuzhu's words and understood what the two were thinking.

Then he said to He Yuzhu:

"Oh, I see. There's a military control commission over there. Just go find the people there."

Aren't you afraid of being cheated if you buy and sell privately? The military control committee has seized a lot of houses.

They also rent and sell them out; you can go and ask. As for your sister's schooling, they can handle that too.

"Just go and ask!"

It's important to understand that this is not the future; many houses belonging to local spies, enemy agents, saboteurs, traitors, and others have been nationalized.

The allocation process hasn't started yet, but of course, they are very lenient towards those who need it.

Whether you buy a house or rent one, it's fine.

He Yuzhu didn't know this and thought they were all privately bought and sold. Of course, nowadays houses can also be bought and sold privately, as long as you go to the military control commission to complete the procedures.

However, seeing that He Yuzhu and He Yu were young, the soldier told He Yuzhu this.

He Yuzhu said to the soldier with great gratitude:

"Thank you, thank you so much, comrade!"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's thanks, the soldier saluted:

"You're welcome, this is what I should do!"

After saying that, he went on patrol. He Yuzhu knew that if he made the choice, he didn't know when he would be able to continue.

Moreover, the houses here always appreciate in value, never depreciate.

He Yuzhu arrived at the Military Control Commission and explained his purpose.

The person who received He Yuzhu found his words quite interesting:

"As far as I know, the exam just ended yesterday, right?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"That's right, I finished the exam yesterday!"

The person in charge asked curiously:

"So you're sure you'll pass the exam?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have come here to buy a house!"

The person in charge said:

"My surname is Gu, you can just call me Minister Gu. What do you do in charge here?"

How can I afford to buy a house?

He Yuzhu said:

"I am the head chef of Hongbinlou Restaurant. My salary is not low. I earn several million yuan every month."

So buying a house is fine for me!

Minister Gu was taken aback when he heard He Yuzhu's words. If He Yuzhu hadn't said it himself...

Minister Gu never imagined that the young He Yuzhu would be the head chef of Hongbinlou Restaurant.

You should know that Minister Gu also knows Hongbinlou, which is a famous restaurant in the capital.

The head chef there receives roughly the same treatment.

Minister Gu gestured to his subordinates, instructing them to verify He Yuzhu's statement, and then asked He Yuzhu:

"Oh, may I ask how to address you, comrade?"

He Yuzhu said:

"My name is He Yuzhu, and this is my younger sister, He Yu!"

Minister Gu said:

"Comrade He Yuzhu, I have had someone verify what you said. It's not that I don't believe you, it's just our work procedure."

Try to understand, after all, many enemy agents now come here openly to do their business.

I hope you can understand!

He Yuzhu nodded:

"I understand. Cooperating with your work is our duty as ordinary citizens. You are also doing this for a better and safer life!"

Minister Gu said:

"That's right, Comrade He Yuzhu is right. By the way, since you earn three or four million a month."

Why didn't you leave that job? You know, three or four million is a pretty good income these days.

It's much higher than most people's, and even though you don't have to spend money at university, you still don't get a salary.

Besides, even if you graduated from university, you wouldn't be earning this much salary now!

He Yuzhu said:

"Minister Gu, I know all that, and I understand it. I've only been learning to cook for two years."

Now I've reached the master level of cooking. I learn things very quickly. I don't want to spend my whole life in front of the stove. That's right, now I'm being fawned over there.

The salary is high, but whether a person is doing well or not depends on how strong the country is.

I want to apply my talent for learning to other industries, you know, ever since the West entered the Industrial Revolution.

Their industrial system is far more powerful than our country's, which is in dire need of rebuilding. If we all prioritize a comfortable life and neglect the development of this nation...

In the future, our country will continue to be bullied by other countries.

If it weren't for my younger sister whom I need to take care of, I would have wanted to join the army and risk my life for the development and peace of this country.

But there's no other way; I have a younger sister to take care of.

So now I can only get reimbursement from this country through other means, only when the country becomes strong.

Only then can we live with our heads held high, without living in constant fear that the great powers will come to bully us again!

Chapter 59: No More Little Houses

Minister Gu fully agreed with He Yuzhu's words:

"Good, well said. I didn't expect you to have this awareness. Not bad, not bad."

If what you said is true and there are no problems, then I'll take care of it for you!

Minister Gu is aware of the current situation in the country, where many places are short of talent; otherwise, the national unified entrance examination would not have been held again, requiring a large number of college graduates.

He Yuzhu didn't respond. He Yuzhu knew that if this issue was discussed too much, it would become a big problem.

Minister Gu simply waited. He saw He Yuzhu waiting. Two hours later, Minister Gu's subordinate returned and spoke to Minister Gu.

After a pause, just as He Yuzhu had said, Minister Gu said:

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll take care of it for you, as well as your sister's schooling."

There are several houses around Tsinghua University. You can take a look and buy whichever one you like.

"If I can't afford to buy, renting is fine too; I'm just sitting here doing nothing anyway."

Upon hearing Minister Gu's words, He Yuzhu said gratefully:
