The life of Lao Liu since 1944

Early in the morning, Hou Jie solemnly handed the key to Li Gui, and repeatedly reminded him to be extremely careful when performing the task, always put personal safety first, and remain vigilant at all times.

Taking into account the current complex and changing situation and possible emergencies, Hou Jie, in addition to basic material preparations, also specially arranged a batch of gold dollars worth up to 50 for emergency use.

In addition, Hou Jie made a request. Considering that the existing security force may not be enough to deal with potential risks, he pleaded with the organization to consider increasing the number of security personnel to provide a more stringent security for his family. Regarding the living arrangements, Hou Jie was very generous. No matter how many more people were added, the cost of food and accommodation would be fully borne by him, and he was able to afford this part of the expenses.

Today was the day Hou Jie prepared medicine for Mu Chunhua's father as agreed. Hou Jie knew that after a few days of delay, the time was almost right.

I was so busy with other things all day that I even forgot to eat.

Thinking of this, Hou Jie went out and called a rickshaw to the Four Countries Hotel.

As soon as Hou Jie stepped into the door of the Four Nations Hotel, he was spotted by the sharp-eyed lobby manager from a distance. He immediately showed a nervous expression, shouted "Not good", and quickly turned around to instruct his waiter.

"Listen carefully, the living ancestor is here, so take it easy. I won't be responsible if anything happens!"

The shop assistants knew about Hou Jie's trouble a few days ago, and they were afraid that he would cause trouble again and implicate them. They all spoke in lower voices and tried to avoid him.

The lobby manager was still worried, so he quickly found Mu Chunhua and asked him to specifically entertain Hou Jie.

So when Hou Jie walked into the restaurant, he felt that the atmosphere inside was weird. He always felt like someone was secretly staring at him. He raised his head and looked around, but didn't see anyone.

Until Mu Chunhua walked straight towards him, Hou Jie was so happy that he didn't care about anything else. His eyes were full of this beauty.

Mu Chunhua led Hou Jie to sit down with an unhappy look on her face. Her attitude was cold and a bit sarcastic, and her words revealed an unfriendly mockery: "Uncle, please feel free to eat. What would you like to eat?" Her tone was obviously full of sarcasm and contempt, which made Hou Jie, who was originally so majestic outside, suddenly lose his former majesty at this moment. He looked at Mu Chunhua uneasily, his heart full of uneasiness.

Hou Jie's eyes swept over Mu Chunhua's face, and he couldn't help but plead with her softly, "Chunhua, can you please not treat me like this? I'm a little scared when you do this, can you please talk to me properly?"

However, Mu Chunhua did not soften her attitude. Instead, she slammed the menu in her hand on the table with even more dissatisfaction. She said to Hou Jie with a displeased look on her face: "Are you going to order something or not? Who asked you to come here?" Her words were full of impatience, and it was obvious that she did not like Hou Jie's presence.

Hou Jie keenly sensed the anger and dissatisfaction in Mu Chunhua's mood, and he couldn't understand why Mu Chunhua was angry. In order to calm the situation as quickly as possible, Hou Jie tried to lower his voice and responded carefully: "I order, I order the dishes, isn't it okay? Don't be angry!"

The people around, especially the waitresses who usually had smiles on their faces and behaved elegantly, all showed an extremely exaggerated expression of surprise at this moment. They all opened their mouths wide as if they wanted to swallow a big apple, their eyes were wide open, and the figures of Hou Jie and Mu Chunhua were reflected in their pupils.

This person doesn't look as scary as he did a few days ago. Why does he act like a little punching bag?

The waitresses were confused. Did they see the wrong person? They all turned their heads and cast a puzzled look at the manager first, then quickly glanced at Hou Jie and Mu Chunhua, trying to find some clues from their faces. The manager also looked back and forth between the couple with a confused look, as if he was also trying to confirm whether he had seen the wrong person.

Hou Jie was standing in front of the ordering counter, feeling uneasy. He glanced at Mu Chunhua, who still looked sullen, and hesitantly pointed at two dishes. Then, he couldn't help but look up at Mu Chunhua again. He saw that although the corners of her mouth were not completely relaxed, she was no longer as angry as before, so he carefully confirmed: "Chunhua, should I order these two dishes? Or..." His words revealed a kind of helplessness and pampering of "I won't order any dishes unless you agree."

At this delicate moment, Mu Chunhua finally couldn't hold her breath, and she laughed out loud with a curled corner of her mouth. This laugh was like the warm sunshine of spring that instantly melted the frost.

When Hou Jie heard her clear and pleasant laughter, his heart relaxed and the corners of his mouth rose, revealing a sincere smile.

Mu Chunhua asked him accusingly, "Where have you been these past two days? Why didn't you send me any news? Are you trying to deny your responsibility?"

Hou Jie shuddered, thinking that she was blaming me for not going back to her place these two days! I was shocked. “No, I was busy these two days! I forgot, but I will remember it next time.”

Mu Chunhua nodded and let him go, then attacked Hou Jie in a sarcastic tone: "Weren't you quite arrogant a few days ago? Why are you so cowardly today? You don't even dare to say a word. This is not like you!" Her voice was full of sarcasm, which made Hou Jie feel a little embarrassed.

Upon hearing this, Hou Jie immediately put on a smiling face and said with a wink: "Chunhua, well, before, with our current relationship, how could I dare to do that in front of you!" He tried to use a relaxed tone to ease the atmosphere so that the conversation would not be too awkward.

Mu Chunhua felt relieved. She snorted coldly, glared at Hou Jie, and then asked, "You'd better be sensible. Tell me what you are here for today. You're not here just to eat, are you?" Her voice was full of suspicion and distrust, which made Hou Jie feel helpless.

Hou Jie put on a wronged expression again, and his face was instantly filled with a wry smile. He asked pitifully, "Chunhua, can I eat first? I'm hungry."

Mu Chunhua nodded, not making things difficult for him, and a smile appeared on her face. "Okay, you eat first."

Hou Jie was relieved when he heard this. He nodded happily and motioned for her to sit down and eat with him. It was unreasonable for him to let his wife stand while he ate.

However, Mu Chunhua stood aside and did not sit down. She looked serious and businesslike, and said calmly, "I am at work now. I cannot eat at the same table with guests. This is the rule."
