With Mrs. Landis around, the people from the street office would not object.
After all, this time, He Yushui was exchanging a second-class house for a wing room. He was exchanging a good house for a worse one. The people from the street office would be more than happy to see such a thing happen. Why would they stand up and oppose it?
Of course, if it was a bad house being replaced with a good one, the people from the street office would not be so easy to talk to. Even with Mrs. Landis around, this matter would not be so smooth.
Under Mrs. Landis 'smiling gaze, He Shuiyu solemnly signed his name on the house book.
From now on, the empty room in Liu Jiacai's courtyard belonged to He Yushui.
"Alright, I still have work to do here, so I won't send you guys back. Jia Cai, take Yu Shui to a restaurant to have a good meal first, then go back and clean up that house with your sister. After all, no one has lived here for so many years, so it's very messy.”
At the entrance of the street office, Mrs. Landis held He Yushui's hand and instructed.
The more she looked at He Yushui, the more she liked her. Not only was she tall and beautiful, but she was also a good cook. It was a miracle that her son could find such a wife.
"I know, Mom. Don't worry.”
Liu Jiacai pushed his bicycle and replied.
He couldn't hold back his laughter. His mother was too snobbish. When He Yusheng came to their house in the past, even though Mrs. Liu didn't say anything, he could still feel the estrangement from her. But now, his mother had been holding He Yusheng's hand for a long time. Even his own sister, Liu Yicai, probably didn't receive such treatment.
Not to mention Liu Yicai, even he himself had never seen his mother so good-tempered.
After instructing He Yushui to be careful on the road, Mrs. Landis watched as the two of them rode their bicycles and disappeared at the intersection.
When she went back to work, the people who were close to Mrs. Landis in the street office couldn't help but praise her.
"Sister Zhao, you have a good daughter-in-law now. She actually brought a house to your family. How much betrothal gift should your family give?”
"Sister Zhao, you're really shrewd. That house still ended up in the hands of your Liu family.”
"Sister Zhao, my brother just happened to enter the rolling mill this year. He's quite good-looking and has an honest personality. How about it? Do you want him to meet Liu Yicai?”
…………
Mrs. Landis couldn't help but grin as she worked. He Yusheng had brought them a house this time.
Although that room was under He Rainwater, so what? She knew her son's character and believed in his judgment. As long as her family did not make He Rainwater angry in the future, that room would belong to the Liu family sooner or later.
However, it seemed that he had to urge Liu Jiacai to work hard and have a child with He Yusheng as soon as possible.
When the child was born, wouldn't that room belong to his precious grandson?
Thinking about how his grandson had three houses in the capital when he was born, how many people in the capital had such treatment?
After He Yushui and Liu Jiacai left the street office, they didn't go to the so-called restaurant to eat. They were about to get married now, so they had to calculate every cent in their hands carefully.
They casually spent one yuan on two bowls of braised fire and ate them. After they finished eating, they bought another bowl before returning to the Liu family.
Father Liu wasn't at home right now. He was working at a meat factory nearby, but Liu Yicai was at home. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he couldn't help but jump out.
"Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, have you changed your name?”
Liu Yicai no longer cared about Liu Jiacai. He only cared about He Yushui, his sister-in-law.
"No, the people from the street office said that we can't change the name.”
Liu Jiacai couldn't help but tease her.
His words made Liu Yicai's face turn cloudy.
"How can they not? How can they be unreasonable?”
Liu Yicai's brows furrowed together, and his mouth twitched as he was about to cry.
She had spent the whole night thinking about how to decorate her room. She only took a nap when it was dawn.
"Silly girl, your brother is just teasing you. The name of the room has already been changed. Your brother knows that you haven't eaten yet, so he specially bought you a serving of braised pork.”
He handed the stew to Liu Yicai and rolled his eyes at Liu Jiacai.
However, in her heart, she was still very envious of Liu Yicai. After all, compared to Liu Jiacai who was always thinking about Liu Yicai, Silly Zhu was too incompetent as a brother.
For so many years, Shazhu would bring home a lunchbox of leftovers almost every day after work. In the end, most of the leftovers went to Widow Qin's dining table. Sometimes, He Yushui wanted to ask Shazhu if she was his biological sister.
If it wasn't for the fact that Shazhu was such an incompetent brother, He Yushui wouldn't have asked for the house.
"I knew that sister-in-law is the best to me. Sister-in-law, let's go back to the house and ignore my brother.”
Liu Yicai's face immediately changed to a happy expression.
She held the braised pork in one hand and pulled He Yushui into the house with the other.
"Hai, I spent money to buy this stew. If I had known earlier, I would have fed it to the dogs on the road.”
Liu Jiacai said with a smile. In the past, he was most worried that his sister would have a problem with He Yicai, but now it seemed that Liu Yicai cared more about his sister-in-law than he did about his brother.
"Hmph, if it weren't for sister-in-law, you wouldn't have bought it for me. It's not like I don't know you.”
After the three of them entered the house, Liu Yicai treated He Yushui like he treated the empress. He first brought the stool and blew away the non-existent dust on the stool, as if he was afraid that He Yushui would find the stool dirty.
After watching Liu Yicai finish his meal, the three of them began to roll up their sleeves and clean up the empty room. After all, no one had lived in it for several years. There was a thick layer of dust in it.
"Sister-in-law, don't do this kind of dirty work. Just let my brother do it.”
"Sister-in-law, this cabinet is heavy. Let my brother move it.”
"Sister-in-law, how do you put the bed? You said that my brother would do it.”
…………
For the entire afternoon, Liu Yicai managed to persuade He Yushui. When they were done cleaning up, He Yushui's hands were not even dirty. As for Liu Jiacai, he was like a mud monkey.
When they were almost done packing, Mr. and Mrs. Landis had also returned home from work. When he saw the three of them finishing up, Mr. Landis couldn't help but say,
"Armory, you are a man after all. How can you let the rain do such heavy work?”
"Dad, can you think before you speak? Even if you don't think, it's fine if you look at it.”
Liu Jiacai could not help but complain.
There wasn't a single clean spot on his body. Compared to him, there wasn't a single dirty spot on He Yushui's body. Even a blind man couldn't talk like that.
"How can you say that, child? Can't I just scold you a little? Let's go, Yushui.”
As Father Liu spoke, he let He Shuiyu into the main house. Of course, He Shuiyu wouldn't agree. She wasn't a fool. Of course, she knew why Father Liu and Mother Liu were so good to her.
Seeing that He Yushui was unwilling to leave no matter what, Father Liu didn't insist. He praised his wife in his heart for being too sensible and went back to prepare dinner.
By the time the three of them were done, the sky was already completely dark. Looking at the tidied up room, the excitement on Liu Yicai's face was needless to mention.
She couldn't help but imagine how she would live in this house alone after He Yushui moved into her brother's house in two days.
When that time came, she could sleep on the bed, on the floor, horizontally, or vertically whenever she wanted. She could wear thinner clothes in summer, so she didn't have to worry about being seen by her brother. Moreover, she could close the curtains and bathe in her room in the future. She didn't have to spend money outside anymore. This way, she could save a lot of pocket money.
Oh right, it would be best to get two bunks on the floor. Although she could not sleep on the floor, she had a few close classmates. When the time came, she would let those classmates sleep at her place for two nights and make it a legendary girls 'night.
When the time came, they would be so envious.
Liu Yicai was happy, but some people were unhappy. For example, Silly Zhu and Qin Huairu. The reason for their displeasure was simple. The people from the street office had already arrived at the courtyard in the afternoon to collect the house.
Silly Zhu and Qin Huairu had specially taken a day off today to see if there was any room for redemption.
"He Yuzhu, your sister is already married. This room is for you. What can you do? It's still empty.”
The person from the street office was a woman in her forties. She had heard from Mrs. Landis that He Shuiyu's brother might cause trouble, so she had specially brought a few people with her this time. They were all retired soldiers.
"I'm willing to leave it empty, but I definitely can't give this house to you.”
It was rare that Shazhu didn't use violence. He wasn't blind, so he naturally saw those strong youths.
"That's right, this room should have been Silly Zhu's, how could your people from the street office take it away?”
Qin Huairu also chimed in. Although she knew that the chances of her staying in the house were slim, she would not be satisfied if she did not give it a try.
"Please think carefully. This room belongs to the street office now. The street office has no right or obligation to give this room to you. Also, Silly Zhu, you have to think carefully. Although the house you are living in now is under your name, to be precise, that room is lent to you by the street office. If you are unwilling, the street office has the right to take back that house at any time.”
It was getting late and the people from the street office were not willing to talk nonsense with Silly Zhu.
With a wave of his hand, a few strong veterans pushed the two of them away. Then, they went to the room to move the furniture out. Then, they put a seal on it and finally added a big lock.
Under the threat of the house that he was living in being taken back, Silly Zhu did not dare to stop him.
He knew that the people from the street office were right. If they really counted, not to mention this room, even this courtyard house used to belong to Professor Xue. It was just that Professor Xue gave this courtyard house to the country, and then the country gave it to them. It was said that Professor Xue went to the south to be the principal of a university.
No matter how stupid Silly Zhu was, he understood that compared to losing a house, living on the streets was much worse.
After the people from the subdistrict office left, Silly Zhu and Qin Huairu could only look at each other. Although they knew that the room was empty, they did not dare to smash the lock and move in. After all, there was a seal on the door. If they entered without permission, they would go to jail.
The two of them discussed for a while, but no one could do anything about it.
When Yi Xuexi returned home from school, he heard a middle-aged woman telling him about what happened in the afternoon.
Hearing that the room was taken away by the street office, Yi Xuexi was extremely happy. As long as the room did not go to Shazhu and Widow Qin, Yi Xuexi would be happier than if he got the room himself.
Thinking about how Widow Qin's family of five would only be able to squeeze into one room in the future, Yi Xuexi felt happier than eating candy.
He wanted to see how her family would get along when she grew up.
Just as he was feeling happy, Chen Jingjing and the other two arrived. The three children began to do the two test collections under Yi Xuexi's guidance.
As he guided the three children to do their homework, he thought about Widow Qin's miserable future. Yi Xuexi felt that his life now was really like a fairy.
Not long after, Yi Zhonghai also came home from work. A middle-aged woman began to discuss with Yi Zhonghai about He Yushui's marriage.
He Yushui and Liu Jiacai's wedding was going to be held this weekend, but there was still a big basket of things that had not been resolved.
Previously, He Yushui wanted to go to the man's house from the courtyard, but now it was definitely impossible. Not to mention that the house had been taken back by the people from the street office, even if the street office didn't come today, with the relationship between He Yushui and Silly Zhu, He Yushui probably wouldn't dare to hold any ceremony in the courtyard.
Also, the chef on the wedding day was supposed to be Shazhu, but now he probably couldn't, so he had to find another chef to cook the wedding banquet.
Also, because of the house, Silly Zhu and Qin Huairu would definitely not attend the wedding. So, in order to not let the groom's family look down on He Yushui, they had to find some people to support He Yushui.
These problems were not small problems for others, but they were not difficult for Yi Zhonghai. After thinking for a while, he came up with a solution.
"First of all, how can the rainwater go to the man's house? I think we can go through the man's courtyard. Isn't there a house with rainwater there? When we come out of that house, we can walk around the street twice and then return to the wedding house.”
"As for the chef, I think we can let the Yan family's eldest son do it. It just so happens that Yan Jiecheng is much stronger than before after he married Yu Li. It's also a good opportunity to pull a few people from the Yan family over.”
"As for the bride's representative, our family and the Yan family will definitely be going. I'll also pull my two disciples and a few of Yanyu's colleagues over.”
It just so happened that Yi Zhonghai's two apprentices, Chen Nuanjin and Li Baocai, had some conflicts because of the work group. He took this opportunity to let the two of them make things clear.
"Yes, it's fine to deal with it this way.”
A middle-aged woman nodded in agreement. This method was similar to what she had thought of these two days.
The two of them did not avoid anyone when they spoke, so the three children who were doing the test heard them. When they thought of the wedding, the three of them could not help but look at each other. Then, Chen Jing Jing raised her hand and said loudly.
"Grandpa Yi, I can go too. I've eaten a lot. I'll definitely be able to save Sister Rainwater's face.”
Seeing Chen Jingjing raise her hand, Yi Zhonghai and a middle-aged woman laughed. After so many days of interaction, they had already fallen in love with this child, Chen Jingjing.
"Eating a lot means you have face. Who taught you that?”
A middle-aged woman was grinning from ear to ear. Yi Xuexue would never say such words at home.
"My mom told me. She told me that the more I eat, the more face I have. I always eat the most, and no one can compete with me.”
Chen Jingjing was quite proud of herself.
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll tell your father later and ask your parents to bring you along.”
First Uncle also said with a smile.
"First Master, First Master, what about us?”
Bao Yuanchao and Bao Kangmei also raised their hands.
The three of them did not disappoint Yi Xuexi's evaluation of them. They were enthusiastic about everything except for their lack of enthusiasm in learning.
"Let's go together."
With a wave of his hand, Yi Zhonghai had the temperament of a child king.
