The life of Lao Liu since 1944

Hou Jie looked at the old lady who was so excited that she couldn't control herself, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He had never expected that his action, which was originally out of goodwill and self-interest, would bring such a huge impact to this kind old lady. This unexpected reaction made him fall into deep confusion.

"Of course, my home is right here, how could I possibly run away?" Hou Jie said softly, trying to calm Auntie down. However, this sentence was like a key that opened the floodgates of emotions that had been suppressed deep in Auntie's heart for many years.

After hearing this answer, the aunt couldn't hold back her tears any longer. She sobbed, and her cry seemed to carry the vicissitudes of life, the hardships of life, and the endless loneliness. Every sob was like a heavy heart, falling heavily to the ground, which made people feel pity.

Hou Jie stood aside silently, listening to Aunt Yi's crying. He suddenly realized that this seemingly strong auntie was actually exhausted in her heart, and today she finally found someone to talk to, releasing all her pain and grievances.

The deaf old lady sighed, "Chunsheng, you are a good child. Your Aunt Yi has been suffering for more than ten years because of not having children."

She thought about how she was bearing the heavy pressure of life all alone, with no one to talk to and no one to rely on. The pain she felt was beyond words.

Now, his appearance was like a ray of sunshine that illuminated her world, making her feel a kind of family love and warmth that she had never experienced before.

Her sobbing was mixed with her expectations for the future and hope for life.

She finally realized that she was not alone and that there was someone who was willing to be her support and her godson.

The deaf old lady was also very happy. She was old and didn't have many wishes. Seeing the aunt adopt a godson, she was happy for him. She couldn't help but encourage him.

"Child, why don't you kowtow to your godmother, and today's matter will be settled."

Hou Jie stood up quickly, walked to the other side of the lady, knelt down and kowtowed three times. He stood up and grinned, "Godmother, do these kowtows of mine make any sense?"

The lady stood up in a panic and helped him up. Things happened so fast that she was a little confused.

"Chunsheng, get up quickly, why are you so honest? Why are you using so much force? It hurts."

She felt a little distressed and a little worried when she saw it.

"Such a big thing, don't you tell your family about it?"

Everyone sat down to eat again, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed. An auntie enthusiastically picked up some food for Hou Jie and said with a smile on her face: "Eat more, child, we will be a family from now on." Hou Jie politely responded: "Thank you, godmother."

The relationship between the two became closer because of this recognition. The aunt asked curiously, "Who is the head of your family?" Hou Jie answered without hesitation, "Of course it's me. My parents don't care about these things."

Hearing this, the aunt's eyes lit up and she secretly felt fortunate.

Hou Jie continued, "A few years ago, I found a master myself, but he was old and childless, so I took care of his funeral affairs."

At this time, the mouths of the aunt and the deaf lady opened wide again. They were surprised that Hou Jie was so young but could take on family responsibilities and handle the funeral of his master. This experience was really amazing for a child.

Hou Jie looked at their surprised expressions and continued, "In fact, my master taught me a lot of things, including cooking, martial arts and other skills, so I can live well on my own."

After hearing this, the aunt and the deaf old lady couldn't help but sigh: "This kid is really capable. He can manage the household at such a young age. It's amazing."

An old lady was watching Hou Jie silently, secretly praising him in her heart: "This little guy is really not simple. Maybe this recognition of his relatives is God's blessing to me. I am really lucky."

After finishing their meal, a few people continued to chat. The atmosphere was very good and giggles could be heard from time to time, which aroused the curiosity of residents passing by in the yard.

Some residents knew that Hou Jie had come to the yard. Although they were curious, no one came to disturb him.

Before leaving, Hou Jie dropped another bombshell: "Godmother, my family will be renovating the house in a few days. I will come back often when I have time."

An old lady said happily, "That's a good thing! It's a pity that such a nice house is left empty."

"Chunsheng, be careful on your way back."

Hou Jie waved his hand and gradually disappeared from sight.

After waiting for Hou Jie to leave, the deaf old lady said to the aunt, "From my many years of experience, I think Chunsheng, the child of Xiaoyi's family, is okay. It is definitely a good thing for you to be recognized as a godparent today. However, this child is stubborn and difficult to discipline. I am very confident in you, but your husband is not easy to get along with. Xiaoyi's desire for control is too strong, and I am afraid it will have the opposite effect."

The aunt frowned and looked worried. She had been busy happily, but suddenly she realized that she had neglected the feelings of her head of the family.

"I understand, old lady. I will discuss it with the head of the family when I go back tonight."

When it was getting dark, the workers who were working outside returned home one after another.

The aunt prepared dinner early and when she saw the head of the household coming back, she hurriedly got him a towel, washed his hands, and hung up his clothes.

After a day's work, Yi Zhonghai was exhausted, so he sat on a stool to rest for a while before the two of them started to eat. The meal was simple, steamed corn bread, pickled vegetables, and a stir-fried vegetable.

While eating, the old lady opened her mouth several times as if to speak but stopped herself. There was a struggle in her eyes, and she looked at Yi Zhonghai several times.

Yi Zhonghai noticed something was wrong with his wife and asked, "What happened? You seem so restless."

The lady put down her chopsticks and summoned up her courage to say, "Boss, you know the old Hou family with the empty houses in the backyard, right?"

"I know, what's wrong."

"Today his son came to play in the yard and had dinner in the deaf old lady's room. I like this child very much, and we happened to talk while eating, so I adopted him as my godson. You won't blame me, will you?"

Yi Zhonghai stopped using his chopsticks to pick up food, frowned and thought for a while. He was still young and not so obsessed with retirement. In the TV series, he ate steamed bread and pickled vegetables for decades in order to support himself in his old age, which almost killed Sha Zhu.

"Just acknowledge him! He has both parents, and I will have to take care of them in their old age. Don't have too high expectations. Fortunately, his house is here, so I will be able to take care of him in the future."

Seeing that the head of the household had no objection, the aunt nodded happily.

After learning that Lou Bancheng would be at the steel mill today, Wu Laoqi quickly took action.

He arrived at the gate of the steel mill in a dusty state, and told the guard his name and purpose with a solemn and expectant look. He clearly stated that he was a salesperson from Yongchang Grain Store and had come to discuss cooperation with Director Lou.

I admired him in my heart, "The name of the young master is still useful. When I mention Yongchang Grain Store, even the guards at the gate look at me with respect."

In order to curry favor with the young master, this matter must be done perfectly.

Wu Laoqi is well aware of the importance of maintaining a good cooperative relationship with the steel rolling mill. The employee dormitories that are now under construction require a large amount of steel bars.

After learning that Director Lou was currently busy, Wu Laoqi chose to wait.

This time he was asking for help again, so he fully expressed in his words Yongchang Grain Store's sincerity and expectation for further deepening cooperation with Loubancheng.
