The life of Lao Liu since 1944

The newlyweds are like honey and oil, and the air seems to be filled with sweet smell.

On the second day of the wedding, Hou Jie was helped out of bed by Mu Chunhua. Hou Jie was very happy and his mouth was cracked open. He was just like the old man Mu next to him, both of them were grinning foolishly.

Mu Chunhua had no time to take care of these two silly old men. Although she was very happy, she still had housework to do. She left the two of them to have fun and go about their own business.

Hou Jie was originally quite happy, Mu Chunhua went to the kitchen to work. He slowly shifted his attention to Old Man Mu, and the corners of his mouth gradually closed, unable to smile. Who wouldn't be scared to see a grown man grinning at you?

He had just gotten married and was enjoying himself with his wife. The more he looked at this big light bulb, the more annoyed he became.

Old Man Mu was not very old, only about 40 years old. But in the Republic of China, he could already call himself an old man. That was because young people got married early, and many of them had grandchildren before they were 40. Also, because of the war, too many people died, and the average age was less than . In the eyes of those who advocated late marriage in later generations, his age was just a late-married young man who had been married for only a few years.

Hou Jie thought to himself, "I want to enjoy my time with my wife, and I can't let this old guy disturb me!" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frowned and muttered to himself, "Should I find him a wife? In this way, he will have his own life and won't be pestering us all day. Well, this idea seems not bad, I can consider it... But it's too early to say these things now, let's think about how to arrange for him first."

Hou Jie looked up and looked around, then his eyes lit up and he finally had a good idea. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile, and he thought to himself with pride: "Hey, this is going to be fun..."

"Dad, look at our house. It's so shabby! Don't you think so?"

Old Man Mu looked around at the houses, which were indeed a bit shabby. It had been several years since he came here after falling ill. He didn't even have enough money to pay for medical treatment, let alone repairs. He had been living like this all along.

Now that his daughter has started a family, he should repair the house properly. But he knows his own business and he has no money.

Could it be that the son-in-law has some idea? But isn't this too bullying? I can't say it out loud! She is marrying into the family, not marrying a wife. If you want to repair the house, you should do it yourself. How can you let the son-in-law do it?

Old Man Mu hesitated and said, "Chunsheng! I want to repair the house too! But don't I have money?"

Hou Jie Yi Le, if you want to repair it, it's fine, I'm just afraid that you don't have any ideas. As long as you are busy, I can live a wonderful world of two people.

"Dad! Just because you don't have money doesn't mean I don't have any! Is 500 dollars enough?"

While he was not paying attention, Hou Jie took out 500 dollars from the space and put it on the table.

Old Man Mu was dumbfounded. Where did you get the money? I didn’t see you bring it here!

Let's not talk about this for now. My son-in-law is rich, but he is stupid! I haven't even fooled him yet! He's already spending a lot of money. No family can afford it. No wonder he was kicked out of the house. I have to talk to Chunhua. She must manage his money well, otherwise the family will be ruined sooner or later.

Old Man Mu quickly picked up the money and found a place to put it. It's better to keep it yourself than for him to keep it. Maybe it will be gone if he lets go. Don't let my daughter know for now. If she finds out, nothing can be done. She's used to being frugal, and that's why she's so frustrated.

Old Man Mu said, "That's enough, that's enough, no need to add more."

My house is just a courtyard house with an area of ​​about 200 square meters. If I deal with it in the cheapest way, 100 dollars will be enough.

When Hou Jie saw that Old Man Mu agreed, he quickly found a pen and paper and started scribbling on it. Old Man Mu didn't say anything, just looked down at him tinkering with it. The more he watched, the more surprised he was. He didn't expect that he had this skill and could actually design a house. With this skill alone, his daughter would not starve.

Old Man Mu looked at Hou Jie and discovered another good point about him. My son-in-law has many good points except that he is not smart and spends money recklessly.

As long as Chunhua can manage his money, they can live this life.

Hou Jie handed the finished drawing to Old Man Mu and explained it to him. After the two of them discussed it for a long time, the matter was settled.

The house was handed over to Old Man Mu, and it would be done in a month. Although it was troublesome to renovate in winter, in this day and age, as long as there was a job to do and a place to eat, there were plenty of people willing to take the job.

He took Mu Chunhua to live outside for a month, and when he came back, he could still live in the new house. When you have money, you can do whatever you want, thank God for the food.

Hou Jie smiled, "Mu Chunhua and I have had a one-month honeymoon. I just spent some money and let my father-in-law run around for me, and he even thanked me. Not bad!"

Old Man Mu also laughed, "I didn't spend a penny on my daughter's wedding, and I even made a small profit. My silly son-in-law also paid for building a house for my family, making me look good among the neighbors. My silly son-in-law even thanked me for running around for him. It's really nice."

The two of them looked at each other, smiled happily, and no longer felt disgusted with each other.

Mu Chunhua finished cooking and brought the dishes and soup over here. Seeing these two people still like this, she was very upset. These two big fools, they don’t even mind being disgusted, they are flirting with each other!

She had no idea that the two of them had already made clear arrangements for her.

At the dinner table, it was Old Man Mu who spoke up and talked about the renovation of the house.

"Chunhua, after dinner, you and Chunsheng should move out for a while. It's time to tidy up the house. After all, you two are married now, and it's not good to keep it sloppy."

"Dad, where did you get the money? I know all the money in the house, and we don't have any."

Mu Chunhua looked at him, and the old man Mu pouted at Hou Jie. Mu Chunhua glared at Hou Jie angrily, blaming him for spending money recklessly again.

Hou Jie's eyes were full of admiration, and he chimed in, "Yes! Chunhua, just listen to Dad! We got married with great difficulty. It hurts me to see you living in a house like this."

Mu Chunhua looked at the two people looking at her together, their eyes eagerly as if they were going to cry if she didn't agree.

I nodded helplessly. If I really couldn't do anything with these two people, I would attack them at my own weakness. How did they know? Could they have communicated with each other? They didn't tell me about such a big thing as decorating the house in advance. I can't let this habit get to me.

My father and the head of the family are both spendthrifts, I can't just ignore it!

"Okay, this is just the first time. Don't do it again if you need to deal with large amounts of money without my consent. Do you understand me?"

The two of them nodded quickly and looked at each other happily. The matter was resolved, and the two of them lowered their heads and ate quietly.

After dinner, Mu Chunhua was about to pack up her things, but Hou Jie stopped her.

"Chunhua, no need to pack. I have everything there. Just follow me."

Mu Chunhua thought about it and it was true. The young man from a rich family had no shortage of things. She didn't really know much about his family, she only knew that he had a shop in the vegetable market. She let him take advantage of her and married him, which almost confused him.

Now I remembered that I had never been to the place where he lived. Was I stupid? I knocked my head in annoyance and looked up to glare at him fiercely.

Hou Jie was confused. What's going on? Why are you glaring at me? I didn't say anything! I didn't say anything wrong!

"I know. If you didn't tell me earlier, I would have worked in vain."

Well, it's my fault! Wife, you are the most important, you are right. Hou Jie only said these words in his heart, but he didn't dare to say them out loud.

Just don't be surprised when you get there.
