Ma Xiaoyao shook his heavy head and found that he had arrived home. Ma Xiaoyao paid the fare and got out of the taxi. A gust of cold wind blew by. Ma Xiaoyao suddenly shivered and his mind became much clearer.
After letting out a breath, Ma Xiaoyao walked into the community.
…
The end of the year has come in a blink of an eye.
The Health Bureau has given out a lot of benefits to its employees, such as shopping vouchers, bonuses, cooking oil, and rice. In short, everyone receives generous benefits, especially those who are leaders, who receive more benefits.
.
A few days later, the Health Bureau finally began to have a holiday for the Spring Festival. It started on the 30th of the twelfth lunar month and went to work on the sixth day of the first lunar month, a total of six days of holiday. During the holiday, the Health Bureau also arranged for on-duty personnel.
After the holiday, Ma Xiaoyao immediately bought a lot of New Year's goods. He had decided to spend the New Year with his parents and have a comfortable and happy New Year.
New Year's Eve.
Zhang Chunfang prepared a sumptuous meal slowly, and the family of three gathered around the dinner table and ate and drank happily.
After dinner, the family sat in the living room and watched the Spring Festival Gala. This year's gala was very well held. Many big stars came out, especially those nationally famous comedians. Their sketches and crosstalk were very amusing.
, which made Ma Xiaoyao and his family laugh.
It wasn't until twelve o'clock that Ma Xiaoyao finished eating the New Year's dumplings before going back to the bedroom to sleep. At this time, the Spring Festival Gala on TV also came to an end.
The next day, Ma Xiaoyao started to get busy. What was he busy with? Of course, he was bringing gifts to his boss to pay New Year greetings. The first person Ma Xiaoyao visited was Guli.
This was the first time for Ma Xiaoyao to enter the Municipal Government Family Courtyard. Looking at the gorgeous and grand villas around him, Ma Xiaoyao felt extremely envious. He secretly vowed that he must work hard to get a villa here.
Stay.
Guli lives in Villa No. 6, which is a two-story compound villa. It is very beautiful. There is also a small garden in front of the villa. At this time, most of the flowers in the garden have withered.
Ma Xiaoyao tidied his clothes and then rang the doorbell.
Soon the door of the villa was opened, and a pure and cute girl in sportswear walked out: "Huh? Ma Xiaoyao?"
"Who are you?" Ma Xiaoyao felt that the girl looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
"I'm Gu Ruolan." The girl smiled.
"Oh, it's you, hello, hello." Ma Xiaoyao finally remembered that the girl in front of him was Gu Ruolan, Gu Li's sister. Ma Xiaoyao had saved Gu Ruolan's life before, but it just passed.
For a long time, Ma Xiaoyao temporarily forgot about Gu Ruolan.
"Are you here to see my sister?" Gu Ruolan asked.
"Yes, is your sister here?" Ma Xiaoyao nodded.
"She just went out." Gu Ruolan said.
"Ah, you're out? Then I'll come back later..." Ma Xiaoyao regretted not calling Gu Li beforehand. Now, it's a waste of time.
Gu Ruolan smiled slightly: "How about you come in and wait, maybe my sister will be back soon." If it were anyone else, Gu Ruolan would not be so good-tempered and would have been sent away long ago, but
Gu Ruolan couldn't do this to Ma Xiaoyao. After all, Ma Xiaoyao had saved her life. Due to emotions and reasons, Gu Ruolan had to be more polite to Ma Xiaoyao.
"This...isn't appropriate..." Ma Xiaoyao looked hesitant.
"If there's anything inappropriate, come on, come in quickly." Gu Ruolan let the door open.
Under Gu Ruolan's warm invitation, Ma Xiaoyao finally entered the villa. As soon as he entered the villa, he was greeted by a rush of hot air, which drove away all the chill on Ma Xiaoyao. Ma Xiaoyao secretly admired that the deputy mayor lives here.
The villa is great. Not only does it have a grand appearance, but the interior decoration is also top-notch. The most important thing is that the heating is also so warm, several times better than the heating in your own community.
Gu Ruolan invited Ma Xiaoyao to sit on the sofa in the living room, then personally made a cup of tea for Ma Xiaoyao, and then sat next to him and chatted with Ma Xiaoyao. In fact, it was Gu Ruolan who asked again, and Ma Xiaoyao answered.
"Brother Ma, do you think the tea is not good?" Gu Ruolan asked.
"Huh? No?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned.
"Then why don't you drink tea?" Gu Ruolan looked a little confused: "If you don't like this kind of tea, I will make you another cup."
"Ah, no, no, no need." Ma Xiaoyao picked up the tea cup and took a big sip: "Well, it's very mellow, good tea, good tea."
"Brother Ma..." As soon as Gu Ruolan started speaking, she was interrupted by Ma Xiaoyao.
"Well, you should just call me by my name. I really don't dare to be called "eldest brother." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
Gu Ruolan smiled: "What's wrong with you? You are older than me, so I should call you big brother. Brother Ma, do you have a good relationship with my sister?"
"Your sister is my leader." Ma Xiaoyao said.
"Well, Brother Ma, I have a question to ask you. I hope you can answer me truthfully." Gu Ruolan said with a smile.
"You ask, as long as I know, I will answer you." Ma Xiaoyao nodded.
Gu Ruolan looked into Ma Xiaoyao's eyes and asked word for word: "Do you like my sister?"
"Hmm, eh?" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly widened: "You... are so good, why do you ask this..."
"Answer me, do you like my sister?" Gu Ruolan asked relentlessly: "You just promised to tell the truth."
"I...I..." Ma Xiaoyao did not expect that Gu Ruolan would ask such a direct question, leaving the unprepared Ma Xiaoyao not knowing how to answer.
"Brother Ma, is this answer difficult? If you like it, you just like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. What can't you say?" Gu Ruolan said with a smile: "Brother Ma, don't worry, I promise to keep it a secret for you. I won't
Tell my sister."
Ma Xiaoyao's face kept twitching. Just when Ma Xiaoyao was about to reply, there was a sound of opening the door, and then Gu Li walked in wearing a women's suit.
"Ruolan, have you thought of something to eat for lunch... Huh? Ma Xiaoyao? Why are you here?" Gu Li looked at Ma Xiaoyao sitting on the sofa in surprise.
Ma Xiaoyao breathed out gently and stood up from the sofa: "Sister Gu, I'm here to wish you a happy new year." Ma Xiaoyao was secretly glad that Gu Li came back in time, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to deal with Gu Ruo
Lan, this eccentric girl.
Ma Xiaoyao was happy, but Gu Ruolan pouted: "Sister, can't you come back later? You've messed up all my good things!"
Gu Li was stunned: "Good thing? What good thing?"
"Ah, it's like this. I was telling Miss Gu a fairy tale just now, and you came back at the critical moment..." Ma Xiaoyao explained hurriedly.
Gu Li was happy when she heard this: "Ruolan, how old are you, and you still like to listen to fairy tales."
"I was bored, so I listened casually. Sister, you don't know, the fairy tales told by Brother Ma are really beautiful." Gu Ruolan didn't want to reveal the secret between her and Ma Xiaoyao, so she just followed it.
Ma Xiaoyao started to make up excuses.
"It seems that I came back at the wrong time. Otherwise, Ma Xiaoyao, if you continue to tell Ruolan fairy tales, I will also listen." Gu Li said apologetically.
Ma Xiaoyao's face suddenly changed. How could he tell fairy tales? He had never liked reading storybooks since he was a child. If he was asked to tell fairy tales, it would be better to find a rope and let Ma Xiaoyao hang himself.
Fortunately, Gu Ruolan came forward to help Ma Xiaoyao out: "Forget it, I'm not in the mood to listen to fairy tales now. Let's talk about it another day." At this point, Gu Ruolan gave Ma Xiaoyao a meaningful look: "Brother Ma
, you can tell me the next story when you have the opportunity, now I won’t delay your chat with my sister.” After saying that, Gu Ruolan twisted her waist and went upstairs.
Ma Xiaoyao twisted his mouth, "This Gu Ruolan is really difficult to deal with. I'd better try not to meet her in the future."
"Ma Xiaoyao, why didn't you call me before you came? If I knew you were coming, I wouldn't have gone out." Gu Li took off her coat, revealing a close-fitting cotton shirt underneath, showing off her convex and concave body to the fullest.
"I thought you wouldn't go out today." Ma Xiaoyao smiled.
"I just went to give New Year greetings to Secretary Liu and Mayor Lin." Gu Li walked to the sofa and sat down, picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea.
"Sister Gu, didn't you say that Mayor Lin will completely retire by the end of the year?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
Gu Li took a sip from the teacup and said, "Yes, Mayor Lin has officially retired. After the Spring Festival, I will officially take over his position."
"Sister Gu, congratulations on your promotion to mayor!" Ma Xiaoyao was truly happy for Gu Li.
"After so many years in the officialdom, I finally got ahead." Gu Li suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Ma Xiaoyao, when I went to pay New Year's greetings to Mayor Lin today, Mayor Lin actually praised you in person and said that you
He is a rare talent, Ma Xiaoyao, when did you get involved with Mayor Lin?"
Ma Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment: "Sister Gu, do you still remember that I went to Dongcheng County a few months ago to investigate Tianhai Company's sale of illegal ham?"
Gu Li nodded: "Of course I remember, what's the matter?" When Ma Xiaoyao went to investigate Tianhai Company, things made a big fuss, and Gu Li would certainly not forget it.
"When I was investigating Tianhai Company, I got acquainted with Wang Aiqin, the general manager of Tianhai Company. Later, she invited me to have dinner. Unexpectedly, she encountered a fire halfway. I saved her at that time. Wang Aiqin, perhaps grateful for my life-saving grace, asked me to
Mayor Lin recommended me and I hope Mayor Lin can promote me." Ma Xiaoyao recounted what happened.
"Can Wang Aiqin still have a relationship with Mayor Lin?" Gu Li asked in surprise.
"Well, I heard from Wang Aiqin that she has a good personal relationship with Mayor Lin." Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "I heard that they have known each other for many years and they are very good friends."
