The life of Lao Liu since 1944

As night fell, after dinner, Hou Jie told his parents that he was going to renovate the house tomorrow. However, before he finished speaking, his father got excited and picked up the feather blanket beside him, ready to beat him. His mother was also extremely angry, one of them chased Hou Jie, while the other tried to stop him, shouting loudly as they chased.

The father was extremely angry. He shouted, "You little bastard, you want to take back the shop and do business? Okay, I agree!"

The father's words revealed his extreme dissatisfaction with Hou Jie. "You little bastard, you haven't even grown all your hair yet! You just want to renovate the house, do you think you own a mine? Who can afford your ruin?"

Facing his father's anger, Hou Jie did not back down. He retorted, "Father, you are a teacher, you should be civilized and not swear." However, this sentence seemed to anger his father even more. His mother also added to the trouble. She said angrily, "Boss, beat him up, beat him up as hard as you can, and see if he dares to do it again next time! Give the deposit as soon as you ask, it's 100 yuan, which is the annual expenses of the family!" She pointed at Hou Jie and scolded, "With the little money you earn, look at the food you bring back every day, is it enough for you to make a living?"

Hou Jie jumped out of the house and hid here and there in the open space in the yard.

Suddenly, a little head popped out from the wall next door, watching the fight between the parents and Hou Jie in the yard, and giggled heartlessly.

Hou Jie turned around and saw that it was his fiancée Chen Xueru, and rolled his eyes in annoyance. Oh, here comes another troublemaker.

Hou Jie rushed out of the house like a wild horse that had broken free from its restraints. He quickly began to dodge irregularly in the narrow and crowded space of the yard, moving here and there like a rabbit being chased.

At this moment, a little head suddenly popped out from the wall next door, with a pair of big eyes rolling around, observing the constant disputes and conflicts between Hou Jie and his parents in the yard, with an innocent yet slightly cunning smile on her face. It was Hou Jie's fiancée Chen Xueru, who sat under the eaves, watching this "family war" that was played out almost every day. Not only was she not worried at all, but she was enjoying it, giggling heartlessly, as if this scene was a different kind of fun for her.

In the chaotic chase, Hou Jie caught a glimpse of Chen Xueru's familiar face, and a feeling of helplessness and doting welled up in his heart. He rolled his eyes unhappily, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered to himself: "Well, here comes another troublemaker." Although he complained like this, Hou Jie knew deep down that Chen Xueru's joining had obviously added some excitement to these troubled days.

When his parents saw Chen Xueru, instead of stopping them, they acted as if they were used to it, smiled at her lovingly, and continued to chase Hou Jie. Hou Jie was extremely frustrated by his parents' relentlessness.

Hou Jie finally said helplessly: "I have money, my family doesn't need to pay for the decoration." When his parents heard this, they immediately stopped what they were doing, and the air suddenly became quiet.

The father threw the feather blanket in his hand fiercely, coughed twice, and stopped chasing Hou Jie. The mother also put away her movements, fixed her makeup, hummed twice, and then walked to the father's side to fix his clothes. The two cooperated tacitly, and looked like a couple with a good relationship. Hou Jie looked at this scene and was stunned. This sudden change of style made him unable to adapt for a while, as if he was in a dream.

The father slowly said, "You don't want to spend the family's money! If you hadn't said it earlier, look what a mess it has become."

The mother added, "Yes! If you had told me earlier, everything would have been fine! It's all because of that damn kid, he gasps when he talks."

Hou Jie felt powerless when listening to his parents' words. He said speechlessly: "You blame me for this!"

Chen Xueru couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Hou Jie stared at the girl with no curiosity, and waved his hand as if he was going to hit her. At the same time, he was afraid that she would fall, so he said sternly, "Hurry up and get off. I'll spank your butt."

Chen Xueru obeyed obediently, and at the end she complained to Hou Jie, "Oh! I see. You only know how to bully me, huh! You big bad guy."

Chen Xueru couldn't help herself, she giggled loudly, the crisp laughter echoed in the air. Hou Jie looked at this girl, his eyes full of curiosity and doting. He waved his hand as if he was going to hit her, but he didn't really use any force, just pretending. At the same time, he also reminded Chen Xueru loudly: "Hurry down, or I'll spank you." Chen Xueru listened and immediately obeyed.

However, before leaving, Chen Xueru couldn't help but complain to Hou Jie: "Oh! I see. You only know how to bully me, humph! Big bad guy." Although she was complaining, there was not much resentment in her tone, but more like a kind of coquettishness. Hou Jie just smiled lightly and didn't take it to heart.

The father waved to him, and the family returned to the house. Everyone got busy, some drank tea, and the mother also started to tidy up the house. Everything returned to normal, as if the tension and conflict just now had never happened.

After two coughs, my father's voice came out, "Don't breathe too hard when you talk next time. Look how anxious you make us."

After saying that, the father rolled his eyes at Hou Jie. That seductive look was so tempting. Oh my!

Hou Jie said with a bitter face, "You two let me talk! Who can I go to for justice?"

The mother interrupted, "That's right, you are such an unstable child. Look how embarrassing this is!"

So it's all my fault, there's nothing wrong with you two, right?

The air was filled with Hou Jie's resentful eyes, which had nowhere to go.

The mother smiled, her face filled with warmth. She slowly waved her hand, signaling her son Chunsheng to sit on the stool beside the coffee table. Her eyes were full of love and expectation, and her whole body exuded a kind and benevolent charm, as if she was Chunsheng's strongest support and guidance. The father was also listening attentively, with his ears pricked up, listening attentively and seriously to every conversation between mother and son.

The mother's voice was like a warm spring breeze, gentle but cunning like a smart and cunning big bad wolf, cleverly guiding Chunsheng into the trap of this topic. She whispered softly: "Chunsheng, tell me, where did this money come from?"
