"I...you..." Ma Yang hesitated twice, not knowing how to answer Zhao Jun's words.
These days, the atmosphere in the mountainous area is still relatively conservative. Children of this age are young and ignorant. When asked by Zhao Jun, they feel ashamed.
Zhao Jun couldn't help laughing when he saw this, but at this moment, Ma Ling, who was wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket, ran out of the house with two intravenous drip bottles filled with hot water in her pocket.
Seeing Ma Yang standing in front of the car, Ma Ling shouted: "Go to school!"
Last time, Ma Yang skipped school to go to the city with Zhao Jun and Ma Ling, and was punished when he came back. Today, Ma Yang didn't dare to go without Ma Ling's advice.
And Ma Ling's shout appropriately resolved Ma Yang's embarrassment.
"Brother Jun, I'm leaving." Ma Yang waved his hand to Zhao Jun and said, "Slow down!"
After saying that, Ma Yang ran away.
"Why are you running?" Zhao Jun shouted from behind: "I'll give you a ride!"
"Don't worry about him." Ma Ling came to Zhao Jun and gave him one of the thermos bottles in her hand.
But after the two got in the car, Ma Ling opened her eyes in surprise and said, "Why is it so warm in this car?"
The last time we went into the city, we were driving Jiechen's Liberation. The heater in his car was broken and it was freezing every step of the way. During lunch, Ma Ling even used a glass bottle to ask the lady boss of the snack bar for hot water.
The car of the Forestry Bureau has good heating and airflow, but the hand warmer Ma Ling gave me was still stuffed into Zhao Jun's arms.
"Here." Zhao Jun happily took the butter paper bag and handed it to Ma Ling.
"What is this?" Ma Ling opened a corner of the butter paper package, and the aroma immediately penetrated her nose.
"My mother made the pie in the morning." Zhao Jun replied with a smile: "Beef and radish pie, you can eat it now, it's still warm."
"Then... let me try it." Ma Ling took a small bite of the pie. The aroma of flour cooked with bear oil instantly stimulated her taste buds. Ma Ling took another bite, and her eyes lit up and she said, "My aunt baked it."
It’s quite delicious.”
Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this, and then heard Ma Ling ask: "How is my aunt's stomach problem?"
"Oh!" Zhao Jun said with a smile: "I praised you the day before yesterday. You told her to fry eggs with badger seeds and cure her stomach problem."
"Really?" Ma Ling happily took a bite of the pie and asked, "By the way, my dad came back the night before yesterday and said, "I'm going to Yongfu as a gift. My uncle didn't go to your house, saying he had a cold."
"Ah... yes, he had a fever the night before." Zhao Jun responded vaguely. He couldn't say that his father was a demon and was left hanging in the mountains, right?
Ma Ling bit into the pie, glanced at Zhao Jun with her big eyes, and then asked: "Are you okay now?"
"Okay, it's almost done." Zhao Jun said, "I'm just coughing now."
"Don't be afraid of coughing." Ma Ling said: "Before last autumn, I picked up those old mountain mushroom seedlings. When I get back, I will get you some. When you are done, you can boil some water for your uncle and drink it twice.
.”
"Okay." Zhao Jun smiled at Ma Ling, followed him to turn the steering wheel, and saw a woman walking in the middle of the road carrying a basket of soil.
This woman is none other than Li Ruhai's old best friend, Aunt Lao Qi Wu Dongxia, the one who was rumored to have broken Zhao Youcai's shoes.
The road in the village was not wide to begin with. There were drainage ditches and snow piles on both sides of the road. If this old woman walked in the middle of the road, Zhao Jun would not be able to pass.
But Zhao Jun didn't honk the horn. He was afraid of surprising Auntie Lao Qi with the sudden cold, and he was also afraid that people would say he was pretending to be in the countryside.
Ma Ling saw Zhao Jun's concerns and said to him: "Hang on the horn, it's okay. I'll have a few words with Auntie Lao Qi when you're done."
"Hey!" Zhao Jun only honked the horn after hearing this.
When Wu Dongxia turned around, Ma Ling rolled down the window and called her: "Aunt Qi, how is your nephew's wife?"
"Oh, my girl!" Wu Dongxia rushed to the passenger side. Zhao Jun and Ma Ling both got out of the car. Then she saw Wu Dongxia holding Ma Ling's hand and patted her: "Thank you!"
"Is it good?" Ma Ling asked, and Wu Dongxia nodded heavily and said, "It's good, my niece-in-law has finished her drink."
Zhao Jun was confused by what she said, as everything was squeaky.
But at this time, Wu Dongxia took the time to ask Bagua and said, "Are you two going to have sex?"
"Um... Zhao Jun went to the city to do some work for the unit." Ma Ling was very smart. She didn't mention that Mr. Zhao Jun was not at work. She just said, "I'll go down with him to buy some things."
"Ah... then you go quickly." Wu Dongxia waved her hand to Zhao Jun who nodded at her and said, "When you're done, go back early."
After saying this, Wu Dongxia grabbed Ma Ling who was about to leave and continued: "What about... My aunt has signed up to be the women director of our family area. When the time comes..."
"Auntie, have you signed up too?" Zhao Jun saw something was wrong and quickly pulled him over and said, "My mother has also signed up."
"Your mother also signed up?" Wu Dongxia was startled, and then she saw Zhao Jun waving his hands to her and said: "Auntie, let's go then."
"Hey, hey!" Wu Dongxia responded subconsciously, waved to Ma Ling, and after watching the car drive away, Wu Dongxia walked quickly towards the small store.
"What's going on? Do you still know her nephew's wife?" When the car started, Zhao Jun asked Ma Ling. After listening to Zhao Youcai's review of his experience in the Yongxing brigade, Zhao Jun learned that Wu Dongxia had a sister in Yongxing, and her sister's family
My niece-in-law just gave birth to a baby.
"I don't know him." Ma Ling said, "Lao Qi's aunt's nephew's wife had no milk after giving birth, so she asked me for help."
"Oh, you can do it." Zhao Jun said with a smile, "You can cure anything."
Ma Ling smiled when she heard this and said, "She's in good shape. Just put wild boar oil into sugar and drink it."
"You are awesome!" Zhao Jun praised Ma Ling, and Ma Ling asked him, "What? My aunt wants to choose a female director?"
"Yeah." Zhao Jun responded: "You, my aunt, and my sister-in-law can't vote for outsiders."
The election of a female director is different from the election of a director of governance and security. In the election of a female director, only women have the right to vote, and Zhao Jun and the others cannot interfere.
The two of them talked and laughed all the way, feeling that time flew by so fast. They went down the mountain, entered the city, and went straight to the department store.
The last time he came to the department store, Zhao Jun saw a photo studio as he walked by. But before going to the photo studio today, he wanted to buy some clothes for Ma Ling first.
Stopping the car in front of the department store, Zhao Jun put his bag on his back and took Ma Ling into the department store.
On Wednesday morning, there were not many people in the department store.
"Ling'er." Zhao Jun asked Ma Ling first, "Do you have anything you need to buy?"
"Yes." Ma Ling nodded and said, "Did you buy the shampoo you gave me last time here?"
"Yes, it's upstairs." Zhao Jun led Ma Ling upstairs and asked, "How about it?"
"That's good." Ma Ling said, "My mother said yes..."
As she spoke, Ma Ling frowned slightly and said, "I just don't know how to fix it, so I lost two bags."
"Huh?" Zhao Jun was startled and asked casually: "Did you fall into a hole somewhere?"
"No." Ma Ling shook her head and said, "My mother and I had a quick trip around the house, looking for it in every nook and cranny, but there was nothing there."
"I can't tell where Luo (lá) Luo (lá) is." Zhao Jun didn't think much and just said: "Maybe he will come out one day."
While they were talking, the two of them had already gone upstairs, and Ma Ling followed Zhao Jun to the place where shampoo was sold.
"I want two... four bags, maybe six bags." Ma Ling hesitated for a moment in front of the counter. She wanted two bags at first, but she thought it was not easy to go down the mountain at once, so she kept adding more bags.
"How about ten bags?" Zhao Jun interjected. The salesperson rolled his eyes at the two of them and asked, "How many bags do you want?"
This salesperson and Zhao Jun are old acquaintances. Wang Meilan and Zhao Chun were watching color TV that day. When Zhao Jun came to buy schoolbags for his sisters, he had a verbal conflict with the salesperson. In the end, the salesperson was yelled at by Zhao Jun.
"Huh?" Ma Ling looked at the salesperson at this time, feeling that this woman was hostile to her fiancé.
Ma Ling was unhappy on the spot. She clapped her hands on the counter and said, "Ten bags, didn't he say that?"
After saying that, Ma Ling held down Zhao Jun's money-making hand with her left hand, took out the money from her trouser pocket with her right hand, and said, "I can't always let you spend money. I'll take care of the money at home!"
Ma Ling, who had just finished quarreling with someone, was a little assertive. Zhao Jun didn't argue with her and said with a smile: "Okay, you can buy it. What's next..."
With that said, Zhao Jun said to the salesperson who threw shampoo on the counter: "How many hairpins do you have?"
There is another small shelf on the back shelf. The small shelf has a square log running horizontally, and hairpins are placed on the square log.
"How many?" The saleswoman who had just been scolded was holding her breath and trying to find her place. At this time, when Zhao Jun asked about issuing cards, she said angrily: "How many do you want? Just tell me."
Zhao Jun gestured to the shelf and said, "I want all of yours."
"You..." the salesperson didn't say anything. He turned back to the shelf, grabbed the hairpins with both hands, counted them one by one and said to Zhao Jun: "Twelve, do you want them all?"
"Ah!" Zhao Jun nodded, and the salesperson twitched the corner of his mouth and put the hairpin on the counter.
Ma Ling thought that Zhao Jun was venting her anger on the salesperson, and she would not lose Zhao Jun's face in front of outsiders, so she leaned into Zhao Jun's ear and whispered, "Why did you buy so many of these things?"
"Is it for you to wear?" Zhao Jun did not shy away from others when he heard this, and the salesperson curled his lips.
Ma Ling's eyes widened and she asked Zhao Jun: "Can I wear these?"
"You pick." Zhao Jun pushed the hairpins in front of Ma Ling and said, "Which one looks good on you."
With that said, Zhao Jun picked up a blue hairpin.
Ma Ling's eyes lit up. She liked blue and green, and this pile of hairpins only came in three colors: black, blue, and red. If Ma Ling was asked to take it, the first one she would pick up would be blue.
Ma Ling took the hairpin, pushed it with both hands to pick up her hair, then turned to Zhao Jun and asked, "Does it look good?"
"Good-looking, always good-looking." Looking at Ma Ling with a bright smile, Zhao Jun also laughed.
At this time, the salesperson at the counter tilted his head and squinted his eyes, glanced at Zhao Jun and Ma Ling with half-open eyes, and at the same time curled his lips.
At this moment, Zhao Jun's voice came to her ears: "Bring that mirror."
The salesperson followed what Zhao Jun was looking for. It was a very delicate small round mirror. The heel of the mirror was two circles smaller than a normal plate, and it was wrapped in red plastic.
There is a stand under the mirror, which can be folded back and retracted.
The salesperson thought that Zhao Jun wanted the mirror to take a look at Ma Ling, so he immediately said angrily: "That's for sale!"
As he said that, the salesman pointed to the square mirror hanging on the wall and said, "If you want to look in the mirror, isn't there one?"
"I'll buy it!" Zhao Jun was silenced by the saleswoman again. She angrily took the round mirror and placed it in front of the two of them.
"Take a look." Zhao Jun picked up the mirror and called Ma Ling, saying, "Does it look good?"
Ma Ling smiled, her big eyes narrowed into crescent moons. The salesperson at the counter turned his back to her and Zhao Jun, lowered his head and picked up his hands.
"It looks good." Ma Ling smiled and nodded, and then heard Zhao Jun say: "You can try other colors (sǎ)."
Girls love beauty and couldn't resist this. Ma Ling made a circle and picked a red one for herself.
"You pick another one for my aunt." Zhao Jun asked Ma Ling to bring one to Wang Cuihua.
"Get her a black hairpin." Ma Ling took a black hairpin, and then she saw Zhao Jun calculating it and said, "There's still one more to go."
Then, Zhao Jun called to the salesperson.
"Hey! Hey?" After saying hello, the salesperson didn't respond. Zhao Jun called her again before she turned around.
"Are there any more?" Zhao Jun said: "If you have a blue one, get me another one."
"Why do you still want it?" Ma Ling asked curiously.
"Isn't this it?" Zhao Jun counted the cards and said, "My mother, eldest sister, Aunt Li, old uncle, second sister-in-law, old lady, Auntie Xie, Auntie Xie, Auntie Zhang."
"Isn't that nine?" Zhao Jun was talking about people, and Ma Ling opened her hands and counted, and finally counted nine people.
Nine people, one for each person, plus the three that Ma Ling took, there are exactly twelve.
"Do you want it or not?" the salesperson asked behind the counter, and then muttered: "I want it but I don't want it either."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes, why not?" As soon as the salesman finished speaking, Zhao Jun said: "Find me another blue one."
"Who are you buying for?" Ma Ling asked: "Aren't these the only ones at home? Second sister and the others are too small-minded to wear them."
At this time, the salesperson who was rummaging under the counter for the card issuer raised his eyes and moved around, moving back and forth between Zhao Jun and Ma Ling.
"This..." Zhao Jun clicked his eyes. He didn't know what to say yet. Didn't he sell it to Ma Yang? He usually cheated the kid a lot, but he always cheated. If he betrayed someone, then...
No more charlatanism.
"Who did you buy it for?" Ma Ling asked again. At this time, the girl was a little nervous.
It’s not that girls are strict, people of their generation attach great importance to marriage and love. Ma Ling has never talked to anyone about a partner before, and she and Zhao Jun are also rushing to grow old. During this process, who did Zhao Jun talk to?
Ma Ling definitely can't just watch when women interact closely. She also has the qualifications to interfere.
"Um..." Zhao Jun hesitated for a moment, and finally sold it to his brother-in-law, saying, "My younger brother asked me to deliver it to him."
"Little brother?" Ma Ling knew that when Zhao Jun talked to her, the little brother he was talking about was Ma Yang.
Ma Ling blinked her big eyes and asked in confusion: "Why did he buy this?"
"He wants that..." Zhao Jun was just about to give his brother-in-law a complete showdown when he saw Ma Ling's eyes brightening and said, "This child was bought for me!"
After saying that, Ma Ling looked at Zhao Jun in surprise and said, "It's my birthday."
"Huh? It's your birthday." Zhao Jun was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly realized that he almost forgot Ma Ling's birthday. After briefly recalling it, Zhao Jun asked Ma Ling: "Isn't your birthday the twentieth day of the winter lunar month? Isn't it early?"
"
The twelfth lunar month is the twelfth lunar month, and the winter lunar month is the twelfth lunar month.
"Ah?" Ma Ling was surprised and happy when Zhao Jun told her his birthday, and asked: "How do you know my birthday?"
"Then..." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "Just ask, can you still not know if you are interested?"
At this moment, Ma Ling's whole heart felt like it had been filled with honey, her mouth was pursed but her face was full of smiles, and her big eyes were narrowed.
She lowered her head slightly and lightly punched Zhao Jun on the shoulder with her small fist.
I found the salesperson who issued the card under the counter, got up, looked up and saw this scene, I wanted to stab these two people to death with the blue hairpin in my hand.
