The life of Lao Liu since 1944

It was already bright in the sky. Hou Jie woke up from his deep sleep and lay on the bed, his eyes fixed on the sleeping beauty in his arms. He lowered his head and looked at her carefully. No matter from which angle he looked at her, she was so attractive. Her exposed shoulders and delicate collarbones made him intoxicated. He gently stroked her smooth skin in his imagination and indulged in the fragrant body fragrance emanating from her. This fragrance was like a thread, entwined in his heart, making him feel as if he was in a dream.

Mu Chunhua in his arms had already woken up in the morning light, but she was held tightly by Hou Jie, as if she was bound by an invisible force and could not get up freely. She tried to struggle gently, but it was like she fell into an invisible net and could not move. Hou Jie felt her movement, but did not loosen his arms, but held her even tighter, as if he wanted to merge her into his body.

"It's morning, time to get up." Mu Chunhua had no choice but to wake Hou Jie up in a soft voice.

However, in order to stay in bed longer, Hou Jie pretended to be sick. "I can't get up. I'm sick." He responded vaguely, with a hint of mischief and coquettishness in his voice.

Mu Chunhua asked anxiously: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

But Hou Jie joked: "Well, I have a disease that makes me feel uncomfortable all over after getting up. Oh, it hurts so much."

His words almost pissed Mu Chunhua off to death. She was angry and amused at the same time. She had no choice but to punch him twice and urged him like a spoiled child, "Hurry up and get up, you annoying guy."

Hou Jie's actions and attitude seemed extremely stubborn and clingy. He was like a piece of gummy candy stuck to the bed, shamelessly staying on the bed, not caring at all about the fact that it was already noon.

His arms were tightly around Mu Chunhua, as if he wanted to embed her into his body. His answer was firm, "No." There was a hint of stubbornness in his voice.

Faced with Hou Jie's rogue behavior, Mu Chunhua's originally bright eyes gradually cooled. She took a deep breath and asked in a reproachful and helpless tone: "Are you really sure?" Her voice was like the cold wind in winter, trying to wake up Hou Jie's lazy thoughts.

Hou Jie gritted his teeth and stood up, as if using all his strength to resist the determination to get up. "I won't get up even if you kill me." His words revealed a firm resistance.

Seeing Hou Jie like this, Mu Chunhua finally became enraged. She threatened angrily: "If you don't get up, believe it or not, I will castrate you." This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and Hou Jie trembled with fear.

"Wife, are you so scary?"

However, Hou Jie turned around and looked at Mu Chunhua's cold eyes, so he quickly returned to normal, turned over and got up swiftly, and dressed in an unusually well-behaved and obedient manner.

Hou Jie muttered as he was getting dressed, "I need to get up. That's not enough! You're so mean." There was a hint of helplessness and doting in his voice, as if he was acting coquettishly towards Mu Chunhua.

听到侯杰的抱怨，牧春花原本愤怒的情绪似乎也被这突如其来的转变逗得消解了不少。她看着侯杰那傻乎乎的样子，不禁噗嗤一笑。“小样，姑奶奶我还收拾不了你？再敢不听话，小心我揍你哦！”她的言语中充满了宠溺和疼爱。

When Hou Jie heard Mu Chunhua's words and saw the lovely expression on her face, he felt warm in his heart.

After a long time, under Mu Chunhua's gentle urging, Hou Jie, the lazy guy, reluctantly and slowly finished washing and sat at the dining table to eat breakfast. However, just after he finished his meal, he was ruthlessly driven out of the house by Mu Chunhua.

Hou Jie tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time and was obsessed with Mu Chunhua. Although he was reluctant in his heart, he could only accept this reality silently.

Hou Jie walked out of the yard, feeling angry. When he saw a thick tree next to him, he punched it several times to vent his dissatisfaction. Wu Laoqi, who was guarding the door, saw this scene clearly. He was very upset and shook his head secretly.

Wu Laoqi was a man with good eyesight. Upon seeing this, he immediately trotted forward and stood respectfully aside, not daring to say anything.

Wu Laoqi looked at Hou Jie's receding back and guessed in his heart, "The young master looks like he made the eldest young mistress angry, so he was kicked out, right?"

After venting his emotions, Hou Jie took out some money from his pocket and gave it to Wu Laoqi, and solemnly instructed: "If the eldest young lady has any instructions, try to arrange for me to do it, and don't let her do those trivial things herself. At the same time, you must pay attention to protecting her safety."

Wu Laoqi took the money and agreed, "Yes, yes, yes! Young Master, please rest assured." He became more respectful to Mu Chunhua. He knew that his duty was to take care of all the affairs of this young lady and the young master.

Hou Jie continued, "If the young lady asks me where I've been or when I'll be back, just tell her I went to the market compound."

After he finished speaking, he patted Wu Laoqi on the shoulder and said, "I'll usually be there."

After hearing this, Wu Laoqi nodded and said, "I understand, Young Master! I will take care of the arrangements." He knew that this was the trust and heavy responsibility placed on him by the Young Master and he must fulfill it well.

Back at the market compound, Hou Jie told his younger brother to call Li Gui over as soon as he entered the door. His expression was serious and earnest, and it was obvious that this matter was very important. The younger brother nodded respectfully and turned around and left quickly. After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Li Gui walked into the house with steady steps.

In order to ensure the privacy of the conversation, Hou Jie signaled his younger brother to leave and closed the door himself. The younger brother outside the door looked at Li Gui's mysterious actions. Although he was a little puzzled, he did not dare to ask more. After all, the young master's plate was getting bigger and bigger. He was lucky to be able to make a living in this courtyard. He couldn't let others take away his job.

The two younger brothers guarding the gate looked at Li Gui's back and started to discuss. One of them was a little unconvinced: "Li Gui is getting more and more arrogant now. I don't know what good words he said in front of the young master to get such a promotion."

Another younger brother said with some jealousy: "Yeah! I really envy him. When can I be promoted by the boss like him?"

Seeing Li Gui coming in, Hou Jie casually asked about the situation of supplies.

"Everything has been moved away, right? Is everything going well?"

Li Gui's face was full of black lines. You just remembered it! "Thank you for your support, young master. I have received the things."

Li Gui broke out in a cold sweat when he thought about it, and complained a few times in his heart. I thought these supplies were enough, but I didn't expect you to be so generous and complete the procurement task in excess of the quota and target. "You are really generous. You directly stuffed 50 yuan, which is a month's food for 10 elite soldiers. The higher-ups estimated that your aid is worth three or four million yuan. The headquarters was alarmed and specially mobilized a regiment of guards to escort it."

"What did you do at that time? You just threw the keys to me without even looking at them. You didn't take it seriously at all."

Hou Jie nodded and casually interjected.

"If you have any difficulties, tell me and I will find a way to solve them."

Hou Jie touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed when thinking about what he was going to explain later. He spoke awkwardly:

"Li Gui, I'd like to trouble you to get me a household registration. I'm 18 years old, male, surname Hou, name doesn't matter. It will be more convenient for you to do this, and this matter needs to be kept confidential. Can you do it?"

Li Gui didn't care too much. There were many underground party members in the city. He could handle it by just notifying them. "It's very simple. Our party and the national army are fighting each other. The national army has suffered heavy casualties and a large number of people have disappeared. The management of the national government is chaotic. We can just use some connections to get it done."

Hou Jie felt relieved when he heard the correct answer.

Li Gui promised loudly, "Give me two days, and I will definitely deliver it to you."

Although Li Gui didn't know what the matter was, he needed to get a fake identity. He wanted to find out what the matter was, but after thinking about it, he gave up. Hou Jie was not a member of our party. If he angered others, he would not be able to explain himself.

Li Gui didn't know that Hou Jie asked him to do this in order to support a concubine. If he knew, he would never agree. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was criticized a lot for this matter.
