The life of Lao Liu since 1944

While Mu Chunhua got up and went to her room to get dressed, Hou Jie quickly and naturally decided to go to the kitchen to prepare lunch. He skillfully lit a fire, poured hot water, and put the food he had stored in a large pot to heat it up. He had not eaten at noon, and he was already a little hungry at this moment. Time passed quickly, and more than ten minutes seemed to pass in a flash, and the steaming hot food was ready.

Hou Jie found the tableware, cleaned it carefully, took out some brown sugar from the space he carried with him, and gently placed it on the stove. Then, he put the hot food into bowls one by one, and returned to the house with a bowl of hot brown sugar water.

At this moment, Mu Chunhua had packed up and sat at the dining table. Although her face was still a little pale and there was a trace of fatigue between her eyebrows, her eyes were much softer. Hou Jie carefully arranged the food and his movements were gentle. Mu Chunhua covered her abdomen with one hand, still feeling a little uncomfortable, and looked at Hou Jie strangely.

Mu Chunhua watched Hou Jie busying himself. She didn't expect that this young man was so caring and thoughtful. She felt a little relieved and felt that he was not completely useless.

You said this person is rich, handsome, and has some talent, but his only shortcoming is that he is too thick-skinned and too clingy. No one would have thought that a handsome man would be like this in private after getting to know him. You can't judge a person by his appearance.

Hou Jie sat next to Mu Chunhua, picked up the bowl of brown sugar water, and fed it to Mu Chunhua bit by bit. He patiently took care of her until she finished her meal, and then helped her sit down on the edge of the bed before he sat down to eat.

"Brother Hou Jie," Mu Chunhua was interrupted by Hou Jie just as she opened her mouth.

"Call me Chunsheng! This is my childhood nickname. Everyone in my family calls me that. Calling me by my name is too strange."

Mu Chunhua nodded obediently, "Okay, Chunsheng, I'm fine now. You can go back first. I don't need your care anymore."

However, Hou Jie directly refused, "No, I have to stay here tonight, and I am worried about you being alone."

Mu Chunhua said nonchalantly, "I used to be alone at home, so I was used to it. But suddenly there's someone else here, so I'm still a little uncomfortable. There's no need to worry!"

Hou Jie objected, "That won't work. The past is the past. Now I am here!"

Mu Chunhua felt that this guy must be up to something bad, and asked doubtfully, "Chunsheng, you are not planning anything bad, are you?"

Hou Jie denied it flatly, saying, "It's impossible. I am such a pure and kind person. How could I do such a bad thing?"

Mu Chunhua was totally distrustful and said, "What if you did it?"

Hou Jie immediately assured, speaking in a righteous and serious tone, "Then I am a dog."

Seeing Hou Jie's determined expression, Mu Chunhua knew that it was useless to object. So she had no choice but to do as he wished. She nodded and said, "Okay, Chunsheng, you can stay here. But you must remember not to disturb my rest." Hou Jie nodded and agreed.

At night, Mu Chunhua saw Hou Jie hugging her tightly and asked loudly, "Didn't you say you wouldn't do bad things?"

Hou Jie said as a matter of course, "I didn't do anything bad! I just hugged you, that doesn't count, right?"

Mu Chunhua was furious and said, "Hou Jie, you are such a shameless person. You are the one who is the most shameless."

Unexpectedly, Hou Jie's words choked Mu Chunhua, and she turned her head away from him. "It doesn't matter if it's shameless or not, as long as it's useful, it's not a big deal."

Mu Chuhua had no way to deal with this shameless guy, so he punched him twice. After venting his anger, he muttered threateningly, "Go ahead and humiliate me! If you abandon me, I will die in front of you." He adjusted himself to a comfortable position, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

As the saying goes, "Life is like that. Since you can't resist it, just learn to enjoy it!" Mu Chunhua had no choice. She was already his and had to learn to adapt.

Hou Jie achieved his goal. Seeing that Mu Chunhua no longer resisted him, he happily hugged her and fell asleep.

The next morning,

Hou Jie woke up in the bright sunshine. Bathed in the rising sun, he felt refreshed and refreshed. After breakfast, just as he was about to enjoy a moment of family peace, Mu Chunhua urged him out of the house: "I'm fine here, don't get in the way here." Hou Jie did not get angry after hearing this, but responded with a smile: "Okay, okay, I obey my wife!"

He did not feel depressed or lost because of this, but instead felt that it was a kind of happiness.

So, Hou Jie, with a full heart of good mood and expectation, excitedly began to pack his fishing bag. People are in high spirits when they are happy, and today he will go fishing to get a good start.

I walked to an empty corner, pushed out a tricycle, bought some simple food, and rode the tricycle to Shichahai. Today was Saturday, and although the temperature in the city had dropped below zero, the sun was shining on the earth, making people feel a little warm. The trees along the way had become bare, as if winter had stripped them of their prosperous disguise.

I rode along the street in a happy mood, full of anticipation and excitement. Passing by lakes and rivers, I originally planned to find a quiet place to enjoy the fun of fishing, but I found that every place where you can fish was surrounded by people, and dense fishing rods stood there like a forest, as if a fishing competition was going on.

Seeing so many people fishing, I couldn't help but feel a little bitter. In this era, life is really hard, and for many people, this may be their only free source of meat. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but speed up the pedaling.

Hou Jie was riding his tricycle, looking around in disappointment because he couldn't find a spot. Just then, someone packed up his fishing rod and was leaving. Whatever the reason, he pedaled hard to grab a spot and breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked around and fixed his eyes. It turned out that there was an acquaintance. The man on the right was a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and dressed like a scholar. He was none other than Yan Bugui, the future third uncle of Qinman Siheyuan.

This person is not a bad person, but he is too calculating, and in the end he even lost his family affection. Although it was due to the pressure of life, he did not grasp the scale well, and his calculations were in vain, which is really lamentable.

He parked the car steadily on the side of the road, then opened the trunk and took out the fishing gear. He took out a small earthworm from his pocket. This was not a casual trophy, but a dime he had just exchanged from a child. He skillfully put the earthworm on the hook, and then threw it hard. The fishing rod flew to the lake with his expectations. He quickly tied the fishing rod with a rope to prevent the fishing rod from being pulled away by the fish.

Then he took out a book and a small stool from his backpack, put them down gently, and sat aside.

He was not a keen fisherman, but wanted to take this opportunity to relax and kill time. His series of operations were smooth and flowing, which amazed the people watching on the side. They secretly praised in their hearts: "I have seen people fishing, but I have never seen fishing like this. It is really an eye-opener!"

A spectator nearby couldn't help but exclaimed: "Hey! This fishing technique is really unique!"

The third uncle who was quietly observing from the side had already seen through everything. He looked deeply at Hou Jie's dress and could tell from his clothes that this young man was definitely not short of money.

There was a shrewd and eager light in his eyes, as if a sophisticated computer had started running at high speed, and the abacus in his mind was clattering, thinking about how to "get" some benefits from this seemingly wealthy young man.

The third uncle immediately became interested and suggested to Hou Jie in a somewhat enthusiastic but serious tone: "Young man, your way of fishing is wrong. It will easily scare away the fish."

His voice was loud and powerful, obviously trying to attract Hou Jie's attention. Then he threw out his "bait": "If you are willing to pay fifty cents, I can teach you some skills. I promise not to keep anything to myself and tell you everything I know."

However, Hou Jie was not shaken by these words. He looked up at the third uncle, his eyes flashing with determination and resoluteness, and flatly refused: "No."
