Zhang Chunfang pointed to the photo in Ma Xiaoyao's hand: "What does the girl in the photo look like?"
"You look pretty good, what's wrong?" Ma Xiaoyao nodded.
Zhang Chunfang smiled slightly: "This is the daughter of a colleague in my factory. She is twenty-five years old and is an accountant of a company. She has no partner yet... I plan to let you meet her..."
"Ah? Another blind date?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned when he heard this: "Mom, didn't we agree not to go on blind dates in the future?"
"You kid, if you don't go on a blind date, do you still want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?" Zhang Chunfang said dissatisfied.
"Who said I'm going to be a bachelor? Didn't I say that I will find a girlfriend by myself?" Ma Xiaoyao threw the photo directly on the coffee table: "In short, I will not go on a blind date."
"You...are you trying to make me angry to death?" Zhang Chunfang's face turned blue with anger.
"Xiaoyao, why are you talking to your mother?" Seeing that the mother and son were about to get into a fight, Ma Dahai finally couldn't sit still.
Ma Xiaoyao took a deep breath and tried to make his tone calmer: "Mom, I don't want to make you angry, but I... there is something I haven't told you yet, and I will be transferred tomorrow."
Ma Dahai was stunned: "Transfer away? What transfer?"
Zhang Chunfang was also full of doubts.
"I just received a notice that I will go to work in Gaohe Township, Dongcheng County tomorrow, and my position is the mayor of Gaohe Township," Ma Xiaoyao said.
"Ah?" Ma Dahai and Zhang Chunfang were immediately stunned on the spot.
In the end, it was Ma Dahai who came to his senses first: "How come you were transferred to Dongcheng County to be the head of the township? Did you make any mistakes?"
Ma Xiaoyao was happy when he heard this: "Dad, the township head is a full-time official. I have been promoted. How could I have made a mistake?"
"What's the official department level? The living conditions in the countryside are so poor. If you go there to be the mayor, you might as well stay in the city health bureau as the deputy section chief!" Ma Dahai said anxiously.
"Yes, the environment in the countryside is not as good as in the city." Zhang Chunfang also said.
Ma Xiaoyao twisted his mouth: "Dad, Mom, I'm not young anymore. I have my own pursuits and ideals. I want to go to the grassroots to exercise. It will be good for my future future."
"Are you out of your mind? You still have a future working in the Municipal Health Bureau!" Zhang Chunfang said angrily.
"It's different. If I want to make great progress in the future, I can only go to the grassroots level to exercise. Only at the grassroots level will I have a greater chance of getting ahead and making achievements!" Ma Xiaoyao explained patiently.
"Isn't your current situation pretty good?" Zhang Chunfang said that she was not willing to let Ma Xiaoyao go to work in a poor place like the countryside: "If you stay in the Municipal Health Bureau for a few years, you can still be the section chief. If you have the opportunity in the future,
Maybe I can become deputy director, or even director!"
Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "Can it be that my goal in this life can only be to be a director?"
"Then what else do you want to be? Do you still want to be the mayor?" Zhang Chunfang glared at Ma Xiaoyao.
Ma Xiaoyao chuckled: "To be honest, even a mayor can't satisfy me."
After listening to Ma Xiaoyao's words, Zhang Chunfang opened his mouth and looked at Ma Xiaoyao with a strange look: "Xiaoyao, I find that I don't seem to recognize you anymore. When did you become so ambitious? I remember you.
You told me before that as long as you can have three meals a day without worrying about it and have an apartment to live in, you will be satisfied. How come you have become..."
"Alas..." Ma Xiaoyao sighed slightly: "People will change, especially after encountering certain things, the changes will be more thorough." Last year, Ma Xiaoyao didn't have such big ambitions.
But since meeting Gu Li, Ma Xiaoyao's ambition has gradually grown. In fact, it cannot be said to be ambition, but a determination to pursue love. Gu Li has a prominent status and is so beautiful that Ma Xiaoyao can only work hard.
, Only by working hard can you be worthy of Gu Li, and then you can put down all the shackles and pursue Gu Li openly. Everything Ma Xiaoyao is doing now is not only for his family and his own future, but also for Gu Li.
.
"You...you..." Zhang Chunfang didn't know what to say.
Ma Dahai pondered for a moment: "Xiaoyao, have you really thought about it?"
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "I have thought about it. The transfer notice from my superiors has been issued. I will go to Dongcheng County tomorrow morning."
"Why didn't you discuss this with us beforehand!" Zhang Chunfang said angrily.
Ma Xiaoyao twisted his lips: "I'll discuss this with you in advance, and you will definitely not agree."
"You...you are really going to piss us off..." Zhang Chunfang was so angry that her whole body trembled.
"Mom, please understand me. My son just wants to get ahead." Ma Xiaoyao said helplessly.
Ma Dahai reached out and patted the angry Zhang Chunfang: "Chunfang, my son is old and has his own ideas and pursuits. We still...don't interfere too much." The matter has become a foregone conclusion. It is useless for Ma Dahai to be angry anymore.
I can accept it reluctantly.
"But..." Zhang Chunfang still wanted to say something.
"Well, since Xiaoyao wants to exercise at the grassroots level, let him go, otherwise he won't give up." Ma Dahai advised.
After some persuasion from Ma Dahai, Zhang Chunfang finally calmed down: "Okay, I don't care anymore, just do whatever you want!" Zhang Chunfang stood up, shook his arm hard, turned around and walked into the bedroom.
.
"boom!"
The bedroom door was slammed hard.
Ma Dahai glanced at Ma Xiaoyao: "Xiaoyao, your mother is also reluctant to let you leave..."
"Dad, I understand." Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Dad, I really want to go out and have a try..."
"I understand. It stands to reason that it is a good thing for young people to have ambitions, but they must also act within their capabilities... Xiaoyao, it's not that your father looks down on you, but the society is too complicated now, especially the officialdom. You go to the grassroots level alone.
Working hard...I'm really worried..." Ma Dahai said.
"Dad, don't worry. I have been working in the Health Bureau for nearly a year. I have gained some experience and have a certain understanding of the officialdom. There will be no problems in working at the grassroots level." Ma Xiaoyao said confidently.
.
"Since you have made your decision, I won't say anything more. In short, you must take care of yourself. If it doesn't work, come back. Don't wrong yourself too much." Ma Dahai warned uneasily.
"I know." Ma Xiaoyao hesitated and said, "My mother's place..."
Ma Dahai waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'll go and enlighten your mother later. She just keeps her temper, and she'll be fine after a nap."
"What about the blind date?" Ma Xiaoyao asked next.
Ma Dahai rolled his eyes at Ma Xiaoyao: "You have to go to the grassroots level tomorrow, do you still have time for a blind date? Okay, just go to work at the grassroots level with peace of mind, and don't worry about other things."
"Dad, I knew you were the best!" Ma Xiaoyao was immediately happy when he heard that he no longer had to go on a blind date.
"If you don't want to go on a blind date, you should quickly find a wife so that your mother and I won't force you to go on a blind date." Ma Dahai curled his lips.
"I must look for it, I must look for it, Dad, um... I'm sleepy, I'm going to bed first..." After saying that, Ma Xiaoyao ran into his bedroom.
Ma Dahai shook his head helplessly: "This kid, when it comes to finding a wife, he deliberately pretends to be stupid. Alas... I really don't know what this kid is thinking."
…
Ma Xiaoyao leaned on the bed, holding a cigarette in his hand and smoking silently.
I don’t know what’s going on, my brain is obviously dizzy, but I just can’t fall asleep.
"Alas..." Ma Xiaoyao sighed softly: "I am going to Dongcheng County tomorrow. It will not be easy to see Sister Gu again in the future..." At this moment, Ma Xiaoyao suddenly felt a trace of regret, but this thought
As soon as it flashed, he was forcibly cleared by Ma Xiaoyao: "Ma Xiaoyao, Ma Xiaoyao, even now, you can't back down... The brief separation is for the sake of being together for a longer time in the future. This time, no matter what, I will make a mess.
Come like a human being!"
Ma Xiaoyao thought a lot that night, about his family, his parents, Gu Li, Gangzi, Huzi and Xiaoyun...
It wasn't until several o'clock in the morning that Ma Xiaoyao slowly fell asleep.
…
Ma Xiaoyao woke up early the next morning. When he got dressed and walked out of the bedroom, he saw his mother Zhang Chunfang putting breakfast on the dining table.
"Xiaoyao, wake up. Hurry up and wash your face, brush your teeth, and then have breakfast." Zhang Chunfang greeted. At this time, Zhang Chunfang had a smile on her face, and she seemed to have forgotten all the unpleasantness last night.
"Mom...are you not angry with me anymore?" Ma Xiaoyao asked softly.
Zhang Chunfang rolled her eyes at Ma Xiaoyao: "You are my son, can I always be angry with you? Okay, go wash your face quickly and come over for dinner."
"Hey, I'll go right away." Ma Xiaoyao nodded and quickly ran into the bathroom.
Someone was already washing their face and brushing their teeth in the bathroom, it was Ma Dahai.
"Dad, what did you do last night? My mother is not angry with me anymore." Ma Xiaoyao asked in a low voice.
"Hehe..." Ma Dahai chuckled: "I want to know..."
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Of course I do."
"I tell you...this is a secret." Ma Dahai actually lied about it.
"You..." Ma Xiaoyao grinned: "Dad, what on earth did you do..."
"Didn't I tell you? This is a secret. I washed up and went out to eat. Oh, today's breakfast was very rich." Ma Dahai wiped his face and hands and walked out of the bathroom.
Ma Xiaoyao pouted: "If you don't say pull it down, I'll ask my mother later." After Ma Xiaoyao washed up quickly, he came out and started eating breakfast.
Today's breakfast is very rich, including milk, bread, tea eggs, egg cakes, fried cakes, tofu... In short, there are so many varieties, just seeing them makes your appetite whet your appetite.
