The life of Lao Liu since 1944

Hou Jie led Mu Chunhua out of the yard, and Wu Laoqi, who had been waiting for a long time, walked up quickly. I don't know where he came from, as long as I come out, I will definitely see him first. After thinking about it, I don't care too much. Cats have their own ways, mice have their own ways, let him be! As long as he gets the job done, it's fine.

"Young Master, Young Madam, good morning."

Mu Chunhua nodded shyly. She was a little uncomfortable being addressed like that, after all, Hou Jie was right beside her. She still had a good impression of Wu Laoqi. He had helped her so much, so she should remember his kindness.

After Mu Chunhua calmed down, she greeted Wu Laoqi with a smile.

"Brother Wu, good morning to you too."

Wu Laoqi smiled and continued talking, and he became more fond of the young lady. The young lady was very easy-going and beautiful.

The young master had specifically told them not to disturb him as he was getting married in the next two days. Wu Laoqi did not dare to object and had to obey. He dismissed all the acquaintances who wanted to congratulate him.

But the sound he heard seemed a little wrong, and he was confused, and couldn't help but glance at Hou Jie.

Hou Jie saw his eyes and nodded, knowing that he had something to say. He walked a few steps to the side, and Wu Laoqi followed him and asked in a low voice:

"Young Master, congratulations on your wedding."

"Thank you, just tell me what you want to say!"

"Master Xie, there's something I don't quite understand these past few days. I heard that Old Man Mu was looking for a son-in-law! Did I hear it wrong?"

"You heard me right. I am indeed marrying into the family. Is there anything else?"

"That's all, Young Master." When Wu Laoqi heard the Young Master's righteous answer, he was a little dumbfounded and responded mechanically.

Hou Jie nodded, and seeing Wu Laoqi's expression, he knew what he was thinking. Seeing that he had nothing else to do, he turned around and left with Mu Chunhua.

Wu Laoqi was left alone in a daze, unable to figure it out. "How could the young master be married into the family when he is so rich? Did I hear it wrong? No, no, the young master clearly said marrying into the family!"

Wu Laoqi scratched his head in annoyance. "If I had money, I wouldn't marry into the family. I'd rather marry several wives than marry into the family. That's a son-in-law who can't get angry and is hated by everyone. Could it be that Miss Mu is so good that the young master would rather marry her than marry her? This is the only way to explain it. Or maybe son-in-laws are popular these days, and he, Wu Laoqi, is out of date."

Hou Jie ignored Wu Laoqi who was standing alone in the wind with a disheveled look on his face. He scratched his head until it was about to break, but he couldn't understand why he would marry into the family.

After leaving the alley, we took two rickshaws and arrived at the gate of the vegetable market.

Naturally, a clever younger brother ran up to greet him. Hou Jie patted him on the shoulder and praised him, and the younger brother was so happy that his mouth opened wide.

The remaining one looked at his partner who had got there first out of jealousy and resentment, resenting himself for acting too late.

Hou Jie came to the rickshaw behind and offered his hand to help Mu Chunhua get off.

The two younger brothers who were guarding the door were stunned. The young master actually brought back a woman. The sun rose from the west today. This was something new. I have been here for several months, and this is the first time I have seen this.

When they were about to enter the gate, he reminded them, "This is your young mistress. Remember not to make a mistake. She will be staying here temporarily for a month. Watch the gate and protect her safety. From now on, no man can come in when I am not here. Do you understand?"

The two younger brothers quickly said yes and narrowed their eyes. It seemed that the young master attached great importance to the young mistress, so they two had to pay more attention.

Mu Chunhua followed Hou Jie quietly. She was a little surprised since she came to this place. She knew that her husband's family should not be that simple, but she didn't expect that there would be a guard at his house, and he was armed. What kind of person did she marry? And what kind of family would have guards with guns to protect them? Ordinary people would not be like this. If someone opened a shop, there would be guards with guns standing guard at home.

The first time Mu Chunhua entered the yard, she felt that it was really big. It wasn’t luxurious, but at least it was much better than her house, and it was obvious that it had just been cleaned.

This yard is certainly not small, after all, it was used as a warehouse at the beginning. But as the business grew, the warehouse was moved to several other places, and it was vacated. After cleaning it up, it was used as the boss's residence to facilitate communication.

Hou Jie ignored Mu Chunhua's curiosity. Seeing that there were still men in the yard, he asked them to go out and guard the gate. He also asked a younger brother to inform Zhang Dalong and arrange for two old women to come to the yard to help with the work and take care of the young lady.

Although the younger brother who was kicked out of the yard was unhappy, he did not dare to refute and walked out obediently.

Now, almost all the courtyards in this alley have been bought by Yongchang Grain Store. Zhang Dalong and the other six managers each have a second courtyard, where they work with their own staff. Most of the other courtyards have been converted into warehouses and dormitories. With so many people, management is relatively complicated, and buying courtyards is a helpless move.

Zhang Dalong had asked for instructions on how to deal with it before, and Hou Jie gave him a direction: buy the yard instead of renting it, and buy it at a premium of 2-3 times. Although it is more expensive, it will save a lot of trouble, and he will make big moves in the future.

Those residents who sold their yards happily took the gold and silver that were higher than the market price and went to other places in groups to either build new houses or buy houses. The remaining residents in the alley who were more difficult to negotiate with were also eagerly waiting for Yongchang Grain Store to come to them to discuss the house, but there was no movement.

Even people from the next alley often come to ask if the yard is still being taken over. This is Dongdan, where ordinary people live, some of whom are poor. If you hear about such a good thing, you are a fool if you don't rush to it. At least the rich families in the city are not as kind and trustworthy as Yongchang.

This is a windfall. The price of one house can be used to buy several houses. It can solve any problem. The reason why it is difficult is that the money you gave is not enough.

Yongchang is not short of money now. He is now supplying food to the people of the entire city. The food sold every day is calculated in hundreds or thousands of tons. The daily income alone is about 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

Now, the guards at the city gate towers before dawn will open the city gates immediately when they see the convoy with the flag of Yongchang Grain Store. It's because they are also eating cheap grain from Yongchang. According to well-informed sources, the grain provided by Yongchang Store is half-sold and half-given, just to make them take care of it a little more, not to make money at all.

Those who have been in the army for a long time said that it was only since Yongchang started supplying food to the army that they could eat rice and flour every day in the past few months. They had served in the Nationalist government for so many years, but the food was never so good.

Zhang Dalong, who was working in the next yard, heard Hou Jie's instructions and called a reliable younger brother to do it. He was very curious when he knew that the boss brought a woman into the yard today, and it was the legendary young lady.

Don’t you want two old maids? I can take them there myself, and take a look at the legendary young mistress and give the boss a thumbs up.

When Mu Chunhua saw Hou Jie and drove everyone away, the tension in her heart disappeared and she looked relaxed.

Looking at such a big yard, my eyes were full of surprise. Is this where I will live for a month? Great. It is the same size as the house I lived in before, but it was a pity that after I moved out with my father, I no longer had any expectations for that house. Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and I once again owned a similar house, still for my husband and me, without anyone else involved.

"Master, is this house your own?"

"Yes, wife."

Chunhua! You don't know, the whole alley is mine now. I used to hear that someone's house was so rich that it occupied the whole alley. I never thought that one day, I would be able to achieve such an achievement. Although I took advantage of the space, it's really great to have a plug-in!

"Wife, from today on you are the mistress of this house."

Mu Chunhua nodded happily, and the smile on her face could not be suppressed. Her smile was as beautiful as a flower, and it made Hou Jie feel itchy. When Hou Jie saw her happy look, his heart was as sweet as eating honey, and he felt as if the air was warm.

Hou Jie laughed and said, "Don't be silly. Go and see if there's anything else the family needs so I can ask someone to get it for them."

Mu Chunhua obediently went to check the things in the house, while Hou Jie came to the study, lay down on the recliner skillfully, picked up a book and started reading.

The only sounds in the room were Mu Chunhua's footsteps and her mumbling about household expenses.

Hou Jie ignored her and let her do whatever she wanted. Women don't care about much. House, children, pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc. have already occupied all their time.

No matter what she does, as long as she is happy, he still has this ability.
