The life of Lao Liu since 1944

There was also a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere at Hou Jie's dining table, which seemed to be a gathering place of relaxation and humor.

Since Ma Wu married Juanzi, it can be said that he has become more "mature", unrestrained, and shameless to some extent.

Hou Jie couldn't help but wonder, "Does marriage change a person so much?"

At this moment, Ma Wu was teasing Zhang Dalong with great interest, pushing the atmosphere to a climax. His words were full of teasing and joking, and he had obviously completely freed himself from the constraints of traditional morality and treated the trivialities of life with a more open and casual attitude.

And there was no sign of anger or serious disgust on Zhang Dalong's part, which undoubtedly reflected the deep and unique friendship between them.

"Da Long, look at you. You are still a bachelor! Look at our young master. He has already married a wife. And you are still single. It is really shameful!"

These words were like a sharp sword, making Zhang Dalong feel aggrieved. His face instantly turned red, like an angry lion, baring its fangs and claws, going crazy.

"Having a wife is a big deal! I'm just young! When I get older, I will definitely marry someone better."

The people at the table watched their interaction, their lips curled up secretly, as if they were enjoying a farce.

Li Gui added insult to injury to Zhang Dalong. "Yes, you want a wife at such a young age. What a pity! You still have to wait a little longer."

Several people laughed again.

Who makes him the youngest? The young master dare not tease him. Zhang Dalong, this little Karami, is a man who can do whatever he wants.

Zhang Dalong felt deeply depressed. "My family environment is completely different from the relaxed and free education environment of my elder brother's family. My elder brother can decide to drop out of school at will to pursue his own dreams."

"As for me, I am still in school due to my age, but I have to be bound by the realistic family pressure."

He knew that if he chose to get married and start a family at this critical moment, he might be strongly opposed and criticized by his family, and might even ruin his academic future. This was not what he expected.

After eating, Hou Jie prepared to leave and go to the market to rest. They felt a little uncomfortable with him being here.

Hou Jie said: "I'll leave the rest of the time to you. I don't need to worry about it anymore!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, "Don't worry! Young Master, just leave it to us."

Everyone understands this, because he is the boss!

As for distributing benefits and giving holidays, just leave these trivial matters to them, otherwise why do we need them!

There were still many things to do before the New Year! When he returned to the market again, it was already after the New Year.

The next day, we came to Chen’s Cloth Shop.

Hou Jie carefully, nervously but expectantly, poked his head in, looked around the store, his eyes moving through the crowd, searching for that familiar figure - the little girl Chen Xueru.

This is a piece of pure land in his heart. In this shop, there are people he cares about.

Today, as luck would have it, his worries did not come true. Chen Xueru was there, smiling like a flower in early spring, looking particularly beautiful under the sunshine.

If she had been accompanied by her father-in-law, the situation would have been very different.

"Fortunately, my father-in-law is not here."

His father-in-law has always been strict with him, especially when he saw Hou Jie pestering his daughter every day, he often gave him the cold shoulder.

Chen Xueru was carefully turning the abacus, concentrating on calculating the details of each account. As the year was coming to an end, every account was particularly important, so every account should be carefully checked to ensure the accuracy of the finances.

This little girl is still like a beautiful flower in spring, blooming with innocent beauty. Her face is like a delicate porcelain doll, and her fair skin is faintly pink, just like the first ray of sunlight at dawn shining on the petals, gentle and dazzling. Her big eyes, as clear as springs, sparkle with wisdom and curiosity, as if you can glimpse the richness of her inner world.

Her smile is as sweet as summer ice cream, which can instantly melt people's hearts and make people feel endless joy and innocence. The little girl's every move, every frown and smile, all reveal a natural and lovely temperament, as if it is the most beautiful poem in the world, deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone who has seen her.

Every time he saw her, Hou Jie would feel an indescribable sense of relief and joy. Her smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, instantly illuminating Hou Jie's world and brightening his mood. All his worries and pressures seemed to disappear at this moment.

"Xue Ru, long time no see, I missed you so much!"

Hou Jie rested his elbows on the black counter, his hands pressed tightly against the edge of the counter, staring at her with full concentration and a smile. His eyes were like the deep night sky, flashing with a warm and cunning light, like a deep pool under the night sky, mysterious and attractive.

Chen Xueru's actions attracted the other party's attention. She raised her head and looked at the bad guy in front of her with her bright eyes.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, with obvious emotion, and then she lowered her head and ignored the other person, leaving behind silence and awkwardness.

"I dare not. You haven't come to see me for so long. I thought someone had forgotten me!"

Hou Jie looked at Chen Xueru's face and touched his nose awkwardly. He also felt that he had been a little unreasonable during this period and rarely came to see her. No wonder she was unhappy. He quickly apologized to her with a smile: "Xueru, I'm really sorry. I know I was wrong. Don't be angry anymore, okay? Forgive me this time."

However, Chen Xueru just curled her lips slightly and snorted softly, expressing her dissatisfaction and contempt for him. From her cold eyes and indifferent expression, it can be clearly seen that this matter is not so easy to solve.

"Hou Jie, you big pig's hoof, I won't forgive you easily for not coming to see me during this period of time." Chen Xueru's tone was full of complaints and dissatisfaction, directly expressing her true feelings.

Seeing that she still ignored him, Hou Jie had no choice but to change the subject to try to ease the tense atmosphere. He pointed at the store and said, "Xueru! Look! It's almost the New Year, and I'm so busy. I haven't paid you for the clothes I bought some time ago!"

As he said this, he hurriedly took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, which was actually one thousand dollars from the space, and then placed it on the counter.

It seems like he is really busy these days.

Although Chen Xueru was a little skeptical, she suppressed her emotions that were about to explode.

This guy is really cunning. I have been fooled several times. I have to be careful.

She knew very well that she had to remain calm and focused when it came to running a business. Although the guy in front of her behaved a little nonsensically, he was honest and matter-of-fact. Respect and sincerity for a partner were very important.

Therefore, she chose to bypass this little episode for the time being, concentrate on the work at hand, let this hateful guy go for the time being, and deal with him when she had time.
