The life of Lao Liu since 1944

Hou Jie is not a real child. His mental age is that of a 40-year-old uncle. He understood his mother's meaning in seconds. He sat there carefully, lying and testing, "Did the deceased master give it to me?"

The parents exchanged glances and started to make their own plans.

Hou Jie saw that it was bad, and he had to bleed a little today. He raised his right hand and put up three fingers, also as a test, thinking that if it was not enough, he would add some more.

"Master gave me 3000 dollars?"

When his parents heard this, their eyes lit up. They didn't hear his questioning tone. His father pouted at his mother, and his mother looked at him with disdain. If there is something wrong, you will let me take the lead. She pouted. His mother turned her head and said to him with a smile:

"Chunsheng? It's not safe for you to keep so much money. You can keep the money for decoration, and your mother will manage the rest for you and use it for you to marry a wife in the future."

Well! Adults use the same tricks to cheat children out of their money. Hou Jie was speechless. I saw your little movements and expressions clearly just now.

Hou Jie complained in his heart but didn't dare to show it. "I don't trust you at all!"

I don't know why. Maybe it's because of the time travel, or maybe it's the original body's problem, Hou Jie is becoming more and more childish now, which is why he has been playing with them for so long.

Hou Jie replied "OK", got up and ran to his room. In fact, he took out 3000 yuan from the space, packed it in a small wooden box, and put it on the coffee table in front of his parents.

He is now a very rich man, and has accumulated millions of dollars in a few months. At first, Hou Jie was shocked. At the same time, he also realized how crazy the people were for food at that time.

You have to know that what he sells is the people's hard-earned money seized from the Japanese. If he sells it himself, it is pure income, and he earns as much as the goods sell.

"Father, mother, here is 3000 yuan. All the money my master gave me is here."

After that, he opened the wooden box and took out 1000 yuan from it. He pulled it in front of his eyes, pointed at the 1000 yuan and said, "This is 1000 yuan, it's the money for decorating the house. The remaining 2000 yuan is in the box."

After hearing this, the mother thought to herself: "This won't do. Who needs so much money for renovation? This brat is just wasting money." She took 800 yuan and put it in the box, closing the lid.

Hou Jie was stunned. He wanted to take the money back, but he didn't dare to. He could only watch his mother's tricks and was very annoyed.

The mother calculated with a smug look on her face, and then patiently said to her son, "Chunsheng, 300 yuan is enough to decorate the house. You paid a deposit of 100 yuan, right? Add this 200 yuan and it will be enough. You don't need to spend so much money to decorate the house. I know how to live, and I will keep the rest for you."

Hou Jie thought to himself: "Mother, please behave like a decent person!"

Hou Jie had already made a plan, but seeing his mother's attitude, he could only pay for it.

Hou Jie put away the money and glanced at his parents who were laughing secretly. He avoided them and smiled secretly. "You didn't expect it! You think you won, but I didn't lose. Everyone has their own little tricks."

Hou Jie discussed with his parents that when the renovation started, the family would move to Chen Jiazan's house next door, and asked them to go and say hello to the neighbors some other day.

Hou Jie returned to the room, picked up paper and pen, and began to carefully draw the design.

After breakfast the next day, Hou Jie got up early, dressed neatly, sat upright on the armchair in the main living room, and waited patiently for the arrival of the two agreed craftsmen.

My father had already rushed to school early, and my mother was busy at the small table next to them, mending clothes with concentration, the needle and thread in her hands flashing warmly in the light.

Just then, there was a rhythmic knock on the door. The sound was steady and powerful, with great penetrating power, as if it carried an irresistible attraction.

Hou Jie stood up upon hearing the voice and walked quickly to the door, only to see Master Niu and a red-faced man walking in. The red-faced man was tall and strong, with a ruddy face and a pair of bright eyes, as if he could see through everything.

When Niu Ye saw Hou Jie, he immediately bowed and said with a smile on his face, "My friend, the man next to me is Master Lei. His nickname is 'Yangshi Lei'. He is a famous master in the city and specializes in masonry. I specially invited him to help me repair your house. Don't worry, with Master Lei's help, the masonry work will be no problem at all."

Hou Jie accepted it gladly and said respectfully, "Okay, in that case, I'll leave this matter to you two to take care of."

Hou Jie's face looked a little solemn. He knew very well that his mother was extremely frugal in her lifestyle and was always very careful with her spending.

He was worried that once his mother learned about the high cost of renovation, she might resist and affect the progress of the entire renovation plan.

Therefore, when he took the two masters to his home, he specifically reminded them in advance: "When you see my mother later, please don't mention the specific figures of the renovation costs. My mother is used to calculating living expenses in detail and is quite sensitive to such large expenses. She may be a little unhappy when she hears the price. If she asks, you can say that two hundred dollars is enough, and try to cover it up for me. Don't worry about the financial aspect. I am still quite well-off and will not delay the progress of the project. If you need more manpower to speed up the completion, feel free to ask for it, as long as the work is done delicately and in place. Once the project is successfully completed, I will give each participant a generous reward as promised. As for you two masters, there will naturally be additional compensation."

After hearing what Hou Jie said, the two masters were a little surprised that this wealthy family had such a generous renovation budget, but they knew very well that it was Hou Jie's painstaking effort, so they nodded in agreement without raising any objections.

From the outer wall of the courtyard where Hou Jie lived, it can be seen that this family was obviously extraordinary, with a grand scale and extraordinary style. Although the two masters were experienced and skilled old craftsmen, they could also feel the extraordinary momentum of this family and understood that there must be many rules and particularities involved.

Moreover, they also understood that for a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child to be able to take on such a large family business on his own, there must be unknown difficulties and hidden secrets behind it. Therefore, they did not want to make things difficult for the host family, but chose to follow Hou Jie's arrangements.

Hou Jie was relieved to see that the two masters agreed to his family's decoration requirements. He quickly expressed his gratitude to them and led them into the yard.

As soon as they entered the yard, the two masters began to carefully observe the layout and structure of the courtyard. With their rich experience and vision, they could have a general grasp of the spatial layout without overly sophisticated measuring tools.

As they moved forward, they began to formulate design ideas for the courtyard, thinking about how to carefully arrange and decorate it to best meet the needs and expectations of the owner.

When the two saw Hou Jie's mother, they were greatly impressed. She was beautiful and gentle, with an elegant temperament, and her every move revealed a unique charm. The two couldn't help but think that what kind of parents you have will determine what kind of children you have. No wonder the young master Hou Jie is so outstanding.

The two of them greeted their mother respectfully, and then sat down at the tea table in the room. Their mother smiled and served them tea, then quietly left the room and went about her own business.

However, the mother did not go far away, but just pricked up her ears secretly and occasionally listened to a few words. However, the voices of Hou Jie and his mother and son were too low, and she could not hear what they were saying clearly.
