The life of Lao Liu since 1944

The next day, Hou Jie once again came to the vegetable market to punch in and spend his time.

It is more bustling here than ever before, with crowds of people coming and going, forming a busy and life-filled picture.

The originally deserted courtyard has now become bustling with the rapid development of the market business. There is an endless stream of clerks and hangers-on coming in and out of this alley, each busy with their own business.

He looked around and found that there were more horse-drawn and donkey-drawn carts, estimating that there were at least 20 of them, each fully loaded with food. These familiar scenes made Hou Jie deeply feel the changes in life and the prosperity of the market.

Hou Jie walked straight towards a younger brother. These younger brothers were guards in the vegetable market compound and were sometimes responsible for delivering information.

Hou Jie handed a letter to one of his younger brothers who looked friendly. The letter contained detailed information about various types of wood and the exact location of a batch of wood stored.

He confidently handed the matter over to his younger brother, and instructed him to "notify Zhang Yongren as soon as possible and have him deliver the batch of wood to Master Niu so that Master Niu can make furniture in time."

"Okay, boss. Don't worry. I'll go and inform them right away."

Hou Jie then turned around to arrange another important matter. He found Zhang Dalong who was busy, and told him the detailed address, "Dalong, I have a grain store. Please arrange for someone to take a look at it and use it as our storefront. Please pay attention to it and don't ruin the reputation."

"Oh, look at my brain. The name of the shop is Yongchang Grain Store. The stall in the vegetable market is also changed to Yongchang Grain Store. Although it's a little late, fortunately it's still in time."

Zhang Dalong nodded in agreement. He knew that this was related to the livelihood of the entire amateur team and its importance was self-evident.

At this point, Hou Jie had initially built up this temporary team. While he was explaining various matters, he was secretly thinking about how to move forward steadily in each of the next steps.

Although he was a little forgetful and it seemed a little late to name his business at this moment, he changed his mind and decided that since he had come to this point, he would just have to wait and see.

After all, life is always changing, and he will gradually find his own rhythm and direction in this series of changes as soon as possible.

I came to the study room that Zhang Dalong specially prepared for himself, where someone often comes to take care of it.

Zhang Dalong has now moved to the compound next door to work. This place is free and is used to entertain himself. Hou Jie is the young master after all, so he should do good things in a respectable way.

Zhang Dalong is very busy now, studying and managing his business at the same time.

There is no doubt that Zhang Dalong is really amazing, much better than himself. If Hou Jie did not have the experience of later life, he really could not compare.

Hou Jie sat down by the stove, warmed himself by the fire, and drank tea when he was thirsty. He picked up a book and read it leisurely on the recliner to kill time. The weather was getting colder, and he would not run around to get into trouble. Generally, no one came to disturb him here.

Hou Jie grinned and said, "Finally, I have become a big boss. It's not easy!"

When it got dark, Hou Jie put down his book, stood up, stretched his back, and rode his bike back home. He parked his bike in front of Chen's house. He walked to his yard and looked inside. The ground had already been broken. In the evening, when they finished work, he quietly threw the cement into the yard, and it was his job.

My family temporarily lived in the east wing, which was a temporary residence specially arranged by the future father-in-law. The servant of Uncle Chen's family would not stay here overnight because she had to go home to rest at night.

He had already calculated the time to ensure that he would be back at mealtime. As expected, when he arrived at the second courtyard, he found that all family members were already there, sitting around the dining table chatting and waiting for everyone to arrive before eating.

The whole scene was filled with a strong family atmosphere, and everyone's face was filled with anticipation and joy. And he was the last to arrive.

After greeting everyone, Hou Jie walked happily to Chen Xueru and sat down, his face filled with unconcealable joy and anticipation.

Hou Jie could not help but indulge in the faint fragrance emanating from Chen Xueru. He occasionally stole a glance at the little girl, and the more he looked at her, the more he felt that she was lovable, and his love for her was beyond words.

The maid, seeing that everyone was present, hurried into the kitchen and served the soup and dishes. My mother also stood up to help, and soon the food was on the table. Everyone sat down and started to eat.

Several adults nearby witnessed the interaction between the two children. They quietly lowered their heads to enjoy their meals, with subtle and warm smiles on their faces.

The two of them, one holding a bowl and the other holding a spoon, were concentrating on tasting their respective food, talking and laughing, appearing to be in great harmony.

The adults did not destroy the beauty of this tranquility, nor did they disturb the pure and precious time spent together between the two children.

They are well matched and know each other well. If these two children can get along so well, it is undoubtedly a beautiful marriage given to them by God.

They know in their hearts that childhood friendship is as warm and bright as the rising sun, and the silent companionship at this moment is the most affectionate care and respect for this relationship.

After dinner, Hou Jie got up and followed Chen Xueru to her room. He stood beside Chen Xueru, licked his face and whispered in her ear, "Xueru, I beg you for something, you must help me."

Seeing Hou Jie's anxious look, Chen Xueru couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's the matter, Brother Chunsheng?"

Hou Jie hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm going to renovate my house in a few days, and the noise might be a little loud. I'm afraid my parents will beat me." Chen Xueru was puzzled. Renovating a house always makes a lot of noise! ​​Did Chunsheng do something bad? She continued to ask, "Renovating a house? Making a lot of noise? Brother Chunsheng, what do you mean by this?"

Hou Jie sighed and said, "I can't tell you now. In fact, you won't know in two days without me telling you."

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes. She was mysterious all day long. She nodded helplessly, "Okay! Brother Chunsheng, tell me the story!"

Seeing Hou Jie's anxious look, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. She knew that Hou Jie's parents took the house renovation very seriously, and if Hou Jie did something weird and made too much noise, they might get angry.

If it was really as Hou Jie said, she would try her best to help him so that he would be beaten less.

Hou Jie told Chen Xueru a little awkwardly: "Just in case, starting from tomorrow, I may come back later than you every day. Whenever I come back, I will first shout a slogan, 'The King Covers the Earth with a Tiger', and when you hear it, you will immediately respond with 'Chicken stewed with mushrooms', which means everything is safe. If the slogan you hear becomes 'Millet porridge', it means the situation is a little dangerous and you need to be vigilant. Xueru! You must remember this code firmly, do you understand?" Chen Xueru nodded, indicating that she had firmly remembered this special code.
