Chapter 222 Being watched
Nowadays, the housing problem is becoming more and more serious, and it has become a normal situation that it is difficult to find a house. After all, this is a city with a long history and profound cultural heritage, and there are ancient buildings everywhere. It is not easy to carry out large-scale renovation.
At the same time, job opportunities are being snatched up by people from surrounding areas at an alarming rate. If you don’t seize this opportunity, it will be extremely difficult to find a satisfactory job in the future.
In addition, the country is currently focusing its main energy on national defense construction and the fierce war with the coalition forces led by the United States. It is making all-out preparations for the battle and has no time to take care of other aspects.
Therefore, in terms of daily life, diet and clothing have not undergone major changes. However, it is undeniable that the quality of life of the people in the city has been significantly improved, and their lives are getting better and better.
During the meal, the gossipy old ladies in the yard spread the news, and almost everyone in the yard knew about it - Hou Jie's wife actually brought the child to the yard to take care of him! At this moment, people's curiosity was instantly ignited, and they started to talk about it.
Someone said, "I really don't know what Chunsheng's wife looks like. I heard from others that his wife is not only from a wealthy family but also very beautiful, but I have never had the chance to see her. It happens that tomorrow is Sunday, and everyone has nothing to do. I have to go and take a look, join in the fun, and feast my eyes!"
Although most people have some thoughts in their minds, they only remain at the stage of thinking. After all, they have already established families and have sons and daughters. Moreover, their wives are strict with them, so they have long given up that idea.
However, the situation is quite different for young men who are not yet married.
These young men were all bachelors, and were eager to find wives. When they learned that there was such a beautiful woman as mentioned in the legend, they were so excited that they tossed and turned and could not fall asleep. They were eagerly looking forward to tomorrow morning so that they could see the beautiful woman.
Several young men were so depressed: "Damn it, Chunsheng is such a jerk. He keeps his wife a secret, and we haven't been able to find out any information about her in all these years. Moreover, he never brings his wife back to the yard. If he hadn't fallen ill this time, we would still have no idea where to start, and we only know that he is married!"
"Why is it that this guy got married so early and even has a child, but they are still single?"
That night, Hou Jie, for once, slept peacefully with his wife and child in his arms, with a smile on his face.
After a day of rest and meals, Hou Jie has gotten out of bed. Although he is still a little weak, he can still carry out normal daily activities.
Godmother also rested at Hou Jie's place at night. She had just had a quarrel with Yi Zhonghai, so she didn't want to go back! Let him experience the feeling of having a cold stove.
The next day after breakfast, my godmother went out to buy vegetables and meat.
Not long after, the young people of marriageable age in the yard came to Hou Jie's yard tacitly, squatted in a corner and whispered, staring at the window.
Mu Chunhua, who had woken up early, noticed the situation in the yard and was very upset. Although her house was a small yard, it was still an independent space.
She had never lived in a large slum, where it was hard to hide a little secret, and she had no experience dealing with these gossipy neighbors.
After taking a look, she asked Hou Jie, her tone somewhat angry, "Husband, what's going on in your yard? Are you planning to treat me like a monkey?"
Hou Jie raised his lips slightly, and gently hooked his finger at Mu Chunhua, with a hint of mystery and cunning in his eyes. Seeing this, Mu Chunhua walked to his side obediently, like a docile sheep.
The two of them were very close to each other, heads touching, and whispering to each other.
Hou Jie lowered his voice and told Mu Chunhua all the strange things that had happened in the yard.
When Mu Chunhua first heard these incredible things, she was stunned and her body trembled involuntarily, as if she was hit by an invisible force. She opened her eyes wide, her face full of astonishment, and her mouth opened wide for a long time.
"Honey, has your yard always been like this?" Mu Chunhua finally came to her senses and asked stutteringly.
Hou Jie looked at her cute and surprised expression and couldn't help laughing, but he still replied calmly:
"Wife, you are so naive! I came to see you today, and you are more restrained. This is still good, just some small scenes. When you stay here for a long time, you will naturally understand the mystery."
Then, Hou Jie patted Mu Chunhua on the shoulder and said earnestly:
"Wife, although your husband may be a little shameless sometimes, compared with other people in the yard, it is nothing. You must know that there are always people who are better than you!"
Mu Chunhua looked at Hou Jie with doubt, thinking to herself: "Is it really like what my husband said? But why do I feel something is wrong... Maybe he is teasing me on purpose again!"
However, before seeing the specific situation with her own eyes, she decided not to believe Hou Jie's words easily for the time being. So, she secretly made up her mind to find an opportunity to personally explore how many secrets are hidden in this courtyard.
At the same time, she couldn't help but start to wonder if her husband's strange behavior was really related to the strange things in the yard. After all, as the saying goes, a red bird will be redder if it's close to a red bird, and a black bird will be blacker if it's close to a black bird!
Shazhu came with his sister Yushui as well. His mother died of illness last year. As long as he went home, the responsibility of taking care of his sister fell on him.
A man takes care of a child, and it’s enough for him to be well fed. He himself is sloppy, so don’t expect his sister to be any better. After all, they are from a family of cooks, and the clothes of both the brother and sister are a little greasy. It is even more obvious on Xiao Yushui, and her little face is even more gray.
The other men in the yard did not dare to come to see Mu Chunhua openly. They could only stand outside the yard occasionally and look quietly in the direction of Hou Jie's room. Their purpose was self-evident.
