The life of Lao Liu since 1944

Chapter 246 Reunion.

He couldn't help but feel envious, seeing that other comrades were greeted by their families, but he was alone. This feeling of loneliness made him feel desolate, as if he was the only one left in the world.

Hou Jie was dressed in military uniform, had a straight posture and was handsome, so he naturally attracted a lot of people's attention. He stood aside for a long time, then reluctantly stood up and walked towards the city.

Once inside the city, no major changes occurred except that people were more energetic and spirited.

The first stop was Mu's house. Standing at the door, Hou Jie did not move for a long time. After all, he had not been back for more than a year. There were many demobilized soldiers during this period. The neighbors did not notice him just now. Naturally, people on the road recognized him as Hou Jie.

Hou Jie was in a complicated mood, with mixed feelings in his heart, including missing and looking forward to home, as well as some uneasiness and worry. He couldn't help but think of the past, the laughter, tears and struggles, as if they were right in front of him.

"Is this because I am afraid of home? I was almost going crazy on the way. But when I arrived at the door, I was so nervous that I didn't dare to knock."

Hou Jie sighed inwardly. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but he couldn't suppress his excitement.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came: "Hey, isn't this Hou Jie? You are not dead? You are wearing a military uniform, are you going to serve in the army?"

Hou Jie turned around and saw a familiar face. It was his neighbor, a kind and enthusiastic old man. He smiled and nodded, saying that he had indeed joined the army and apologized to the old man.

A trace of surprise and relief flashed in the old man's eyes, and he said quickly

: "Oh, that's great! I didn't expect you to be alive and become a soldier! This is really good news!"

Hou Jie smiled gratefully, feeling a warm feeling in his heart.

He knew that his family must have endured tremendous pressure and pain over the past year, and now, he could finally return to them and bring them some comfort and hope.

Hou Jie turned his head and looked towards the courtyard gate, his heart full of anticipation and nervousness. He didn't know what the situation was like at home, nor did he know if his parents were safe. But no matter what, he had to face it bravely, because this was his root and his eternal home.

The neighbors also understood his thoughts and stopped bothering him. It was most important to reunite them at this time, and it would not be too late to talk about other things later.

"Okay, okay, look at me. Sorry to bother you, Chunsheng. Go ahead and do your work. We'll talk when we have time."

"Thank you."

Hou Jie thanked him politely. After thinking for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to walk to the door and knocked gently.

Knock, knock, knock!!! Knock, knock, knock!!! The knocks on the door sounded rhythmically.

After a while, a sound like a silver bell was heard in the yard.

"Hey! Wait a minute, I'll be right there." Mu Chunhua opened the door and was so excited when she saw Hou Jie that she stood there in a daze. Tears welled up in her eyes and her lips trembled slightly. She stared wide-eyed, as if she couldn't believe what she saw.

"Chunsheng, you...you..." Her voice was choked with sobs, and she couldn't utter complete words for a moment.

"Woo, woo! Husband! It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive."

Mu Chunhua threw herself into Hou Jie's arms and hugged him tightly, tears pouring out like a flood. Hou Jie felt the warmth and familiar breath of her body, and a feeling of emotion and guilt welled up in his heart.

He stroked her hair gently and comforted her: "Don't cry, don't cry, I'm back."

Before she could finish her words, Mu Chunhua squatted down and tears started streaming down her face.

Hou Jie looked at him affectionately, and corny words came out unconsciously.

"Chunhua, I miss you so much."

Hou Jie came to her side happily, helped her up, put his arms around her waist, bent down and kissed her little mouth, his eyes full of infatuation and affection.

Mu Chunhua didn't care to cry anymore, she was suffocated by his kiss. When she felt like she was about to die, she saw that he still couldn't get enough, so he couldn't help but gently hit her a few times before Hou Jie let her go.

The neighbors who had just walked away slowly gathered again after hearing the news. After all, there was a loud speaker to publicize it in advance, so everyone came out to watch the fun.

"What, the Mu family's son-in-law is alive?"

"What do you mean right at the Mu family's gate?"

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

The neighbors who had reunited looked at the two men's bold actions in surprise, gasping and gnashing their teeth in amazement.

"No problem, Chunsheng, this brat is bold enough to do this on the street."

Someone retorted: "What do you know! This is called romance. Many foreigners are like this."

Someone chimed in: "That's right, if I were to return home from military service, I would do the same to my wife."

Someone immediately looked at him with contempt, muttering in his heart, you old bachelor, find a wife first. !

After seeing the two people separate, the crowd felt a sense of regret. The scene was so exciting and the atmosphere was so lively, why did you stop?

A neighbor who was familiar with Hou Jie in the crowd joked, "Chunsheng, don't stop! Keep going! We haven't seen enough!"

"Ha ha ha ha!

"Yes! Try harder, do it again."

"Pfft!"

After hearing this, the crowd burst into laughter and made noises.

Shy Mu Chunhua nestled in Hou Jie's arms, not daring to show her head, and complained shyly, "We are still on the street! Don't you pay attention? Go home quickly."

"Thank you for letting me. I haven't seen my wife for more than a year. I was so excited that I couldn't control myself. Haha!!"

Hou Jie bowed to the people around him. Mu Chunhua felt more and more embarrassed as she listened, and she twisted someone's waist with her little hand.

Hou Jie seemed to be fine and there was no expression on his face.

Then, he held Mu Chunhua up with one hand, like holding a child, walked into the house, and closed the door.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, people on the street dispersed, talking as they walked.

"Hey! Didn't I hear that Chunsheng was killed in action? The death notice has been sent back several months ago, how come he came back alive today?"

"Why else could it be? It was a mistake! It's normal to make a mistake in a battlefield like this. It's possible that someone with the same name was killed and the message was sent to the wrong address."

"That's right! Chunhua is a blessed woman, otherwise it would not be good to be labeled a widow at such a young age."

After entering the yard, he looked around and didn't see his son, so he couldn't help but ask Mu Chunhua.

"Wife, where's the child? Why can't I see him?"

Mu Chunhua hugged Hou Jie's neck, put her face close to his, and said gently: "Wending, go out to play with our father. The little guy has grown up and is too noisy to stay at home."

Hou Jie's eyes lit up, and a cunning thought suddenly came to his mind. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a wicked smile: "Wife, you smell so good!"

As he said that, he took Mu Chunhua into the bedroom, threw her roughly on the bed, and then pressed his whole body on her.
