The life of Lao Liu since 1944

Hou Jie clapped his hands, asking everyone to be quiet, and turned his gaze to Niu Jizu.

"Ji Zu, how is the land I asked you to buy some time ago?"

Niu Jizu stood up in panic, speaking anxiously.

"Master, I have already done what you asked. However, because the area is large and there is not much land nearby, the location is a little far from here, about 5 miles! We spent a lot of money to buy the land at a premium, so those residents were very happy to sell the land to us. Thanks to our Yongchang's good reputation and good credibility in the hearts of the people, it was so smooth. The area is enough and it is a little rich."

Hou Jie nodded, feeling very happy. This was the best news he had heard today.

"Okay, that's great. How are the preparations going with your father and Master Lei?"

"The personnel have been recruited. It's just that the other materials are a bit difficult to obtain. I don't have any connections here, so I need the young master's help."

Zhang Dalong, Ma Wu and others looked at him in confusion, not knowing what Hou Jie was talking about with this newcomer. One moment he was talking about the land, the next moment he was talking about the residents. They didn't know what the young master was going to do. The young master's ideas were really wild and unpredictable. With such a large industry, who would marry into the family? Curiosity was evident in their eyes, hoping that the young master would give an explanation later.

Hou Jie looked up at the remaining people and spoke with a smile.

"I haven't told you about this before, so I'll take this opportunity to tell you about it."

"It's like this. We made some money this year. I saw so many young men working with us. They are the right age to get married. I asked a few more of them when I had time. They are almost getting married. It's just that they don't have a home, so they're just putting it off."

"So I decided to build a batch of houses for them to live in. Every employee can apply for a house for free. I tried it out and it went very smoothly. Now the land has been bought and we are just waiting to start construction next year. It can be considered as an employee benefit! Only when we are free from worries about the consequences can we do our work well!"

Ma Wu stood up in surprise, staring at Hou Jie eagerly. After all, Sijiu City is the capital, with many people and little land. It is not easy for ordinary people to get a house. Sometimes you have no place to live even if you have money.

"Young Master, really?"

Hou Jie said confidently, "Of course, I will do what I say."

Ma Wu was a little anxious and wanted to reserve a house first. "That's great. Young Master, please prepare one for me. I will get married before the end of the year."

"Young Master is so nice. My family was just worrying about my wedding house, but I didn't expect to have one now."

Ma Wu's mind was full of calculations. "I can just get married first, stay at home, and move in when the house is built."

Several other people were equally excited, and whether they were married or not, they all planned to apply for one. No one would complain about having too many houses at home, and if they didn't use them themselves, they could give them to their children!

The key is that it is cheap! As long as you work in Yongchang for one day, the house is yours. The employer is generous and provides free meals. The key is that the salary is high. After a few years, you can save enough money to buy a house.

Hou Jie looked at Ma Wu with disdain. You are really smart. He continued to use his big move and said:

"I have another good news for you all. The new house is a three-story building, and I will build all the furniture inside. You can just move in with your luggage, but I have agreed in advance that you need to pay a deposit for the use of the furniture, and if it is damaged, you will need to pay compensation."

"The second thing is that at the end of the year, we will give out a set of work clothes, 5 kilograms of meat and 50 kilograms of flour for free as New Year's benefits. That's all. I'll let you know after the meeting."

Hou Jie told Zhang Dalong the address for picking up the goods and asked him to arrange for someone to pick them up. He also told Li Guiduo to contact the building material merchants in Sijiu City to prepare the goods so as not to delay the construction needs of next year.

The crowd discussed many things, most of which were trivial matters. Seeing that they had nothing else to do, Hou Jie asked them to go away. He told them to go out and solve the problem themselves, and waved his hand to let them go.

Hou Jie is a perfect hands-off boss who only cares about the general direction and doesn't care about any small matters.

Mu Chunhua, who was waiting next door, saw that everyone had left and sat down next to her husband. She was wearing a slim and exquisite dress, with a jade-like face. Perhaps it was the change of her mood, or the comfort of life, the whole person became more bright and beautiful.

"Hubby, our house has been repaired for almost a month, and my father has urged us many times to move back home!"

The young couple lives well here, Hou Jie has no intention of going back. Putting a light bulb in the middle, isn't it disgusting!

But my wife asked every day: "Wife, are you not used to living here?"

"No, it's pretty good here, but I'm a little worried about my father living there alone."

Hou Jie had no choice but to agree: "Okay, let's move back in a few days."

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of a bad idea. If this idea succeeded, no one would disturb his and his wife's world of two.

So, Hou Jie smiled and said to his wife: "Wife, look at our father, he is not very old, why don't we find him a companion? This way, he will have someone to accompany him, and we can feel more at ease."

Mu Chunhua stared at him angrily, thinking about what they just talked about. It was a business worth hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. She was next door, and she could hear a few words occasionally, which surprised her. Fortunately, she had been exposed to a lot of things here, so she could bear it.

My husband is such a weird person. He is so steady and decisive in front of outsiders, but how come he becomes so vicious and shameless in front of me?

After spending some time together, she has seen through him. He just wants to be with her and doesn't want anyone to disturb them. He only stays out for two days when he has something to do. The rest of the time he hangs around her all day, which is really annoying. She doesn't know that her husband is not honest outside.

Her face is full of happiness and worries. She wants her husband to be with her every day, but she also finds it annoying that her husband has to hang around her all day. It's really hard to guess what a woman is thinking.

"You're just talking nonsense. You're not doing anything serious all day. Are you going or not? Hmm..."

Mu Chunhua's face was slanted, and she acted coquettishly to him, her voice was a little stringy, and Hou Jie's bones suddenly felt lighter. Wife! Who can bear it if you do this?

"Okay! You decide on household matters, and I'll listen to you."

Mu Chunhua's smile bloomed like a flower. She stood up excitedly, twisted her waist, and walked away in her high heels.

Hou Jie smelled the lingering fragrance in the air, looked at the charming back of the beauty, and sipped the tea with relish.

It's really a mixture of happiness and distress. The young couple's life of living alone is going to be ruined again, and they have to face an old man when they go home. It's really terrible.

Zhang Dalong and his men happily left the yard and went to their respective offices. As managers, each of them could be allocated a house. It was not like the ordinary employees. They could directly change their household registration names, which meant that they all had their own houses and did not have to rent like ordinary employees. Soon, the news spread. Because Hou Jie did not let them conceal this matter. All the guys who knew the news were talking excitedly.

"Have you heard? The young master's family is going to build a house next year. Anyone who is married can apply for one for free, so I can get married."

"Yes! Although there are many houses now, I can't afford to buy one! The money I earn every month is not enough for the family expenses."

That is to say, the boss is kind, the food is free, and the wages are high. There is no better boss than this. The master chefs in the surrounding big factories only make 5 yuan a month. Here, the younger brothers all make 5 yuan, and the wages of the team leader and the manager are even higher.

"Haven't you heard? There are free work clothes! Shopkeeper Zhang went to get them these two days. I don't know what the clothes look like. I've been envious of those workers for a long time. I never thought that I would be able to wear work clothes one day."

"There will be better benefits during the Chinese New Year. We have to work hard and make more efforts this year. We must get a wife anyway."

Hou Jie didn't expect that after a while, his employees would give him a surprise. Not only were they very motivated when working, but they also handed him wedding invitations.

Seeing so many invitations, his scalp went numb. If he ran to see them one by one, he would be exhausted to death.

I happened to be getting married, so I borrowed the name of Mu Chunhua. I gave a red envelope of 5 yuan to each married person, which not only gave my wife a good reputation, but also saved me trouble. It killed two birds with one stone, the employees were happy, and I was happy too.

He had no choice but to build a house like this. Thinking about the high housing prices in the future, it would drain all the family savings, and perhaps he would have to take on mortgage payments for decades to have a home. He would not do such a conscienceless thing. Money was just a number to him now.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he planned to donate all his property, leaving only the house where he lived and the necessities of life. He found an easy job as a worker, and the life of ordinary people was pretty good.

I have become a pauper now and live on my salary. No matter how big the storm is, it can't affect a small fry like him!

Every era has its own sufferings. One is during war, when people are living in poverty. Another is during peacetime, when material desires run rampant.

Since he cannot decide the direction of the times, he can only decide his own future.
