What made Ma Laizi even more unhappy was that the bed cabinet at home was opened, and the quilt inside was taken out and spread on the kang to warm the two young people. There was also a small aluminum basin on the table.
Oranges, apples and other fruits. But looking at it, they seem to be his too!
Ma Laizi raised his eyebrows, and his heart suddenly became angry...
In the rural areas of Northeast China, under normal circumstances, the door is not locked when going out for a short period of time. Especially in Yizhi Village, the atmosphere in the village is good. Although there are rogues like Song Ergou, there are basically no cases of climbing over the wall to break into the house and steal money.
It happened. Therefore, no one has the habit of locking the door.
If someone goes to the house and walks around and finds no one, they will leave voluntarily. Even if they are visiting relatives, they will not rummage through things in other people's homes. Wardrobe, kitchen, refrigerator, and downstairs [a separate small warehouse built outside]
】It is a private place, and no one who knows a little bit of politeness will touch it.
As for the fact that he didn't say hello as soon as he entered the house, he just took the host's food and started eating directly, and you couldn't even see it!
Ma Laizi was furious at this sight! He had a bad temper, so he asked with a cold face: "Is this apple or something from my family?"
As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent instantly. The young couple did not say a word, their faces were a little red, and they seemed to be embarrassed. The man at the edge of the kang frowned and looked at Ma Jiangping.
Ma Jiangping didn't feel embarrassed at all, but smiled and said: "Isn't it? But who among us brothers and sisters is following whom? We came in a hurry and didn't have time to buy anything and bring it over. As soon as we walked in, you were not at home... Oh, you
He said your house was in a mess. So I helped you clean up the house, washed some fruits and put them outside. You don't need to thank me for this. They are all brothers and sisters, so they should."
Ma Laizi frowned. When he came to his house to visit relatives, he didn't even take anything. He had to eat and use his food, and then he had to thank the other party!
Ma Laizi's anger became even more intense. He waved his hand and said: "Jiang Ping, it's not easy for you to come all the way here. You can't just come and sit here, right?" In Ma Laizi's eyes, the villagers of Yizhi Village
, are relatives. But after all, they are related by blood. It would not be good if the Jiujiang people drove him away as soon as he opened his mouth. So Ma Laizi decided to deal with this relative as soon as possible and then send him away.
When Ma Jiangping heard this, she immediately lost her face: "Brother Ma, look at what you said, it's as if we are here to take advantage of you. Don't think that I am very casual. I treat you as a relative and that's why I am so casual."
.If you ask me to go to someone else’s house, I won’t go. If you think we are here to take advantage of you, fine! Let’s leave now! Dezi, Xueyu, Xia Kang! Let’s go!”
The more Ma Jiangping talked, the angrier she became. She called her son and daughter-in-law to get off the kang, pack their things and leave.
Ma Laizi's heart skipped a beat when he saw it, and he thought, "Did I really think wrong?"
Ma Laizi is not good at interpersonal communication, and his emotional intelligence is almost not much, and it can only stay above 0 at most. He also knows this, so at this moment, he felt that he might have wrongly blamed Ma Jiangping.
So Ma Laizi hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, what are we going to do? We came all the way, it's freezing cold, and we don't have to worry about freezing the child when we go out. Just sit down..."
As soon as these words came out, Meng Dezi and Peng Xueyu looked at Ma Jiangping.
Ma Jiangping still had a dark face and said nothing.
Ma Jiangping's husband coughed dryly and said: "Jiang Ping, that's enough, the second brother has already spoken, why are you still licking your face? Go cook!"
Ma Jiangping glared at her husband Meng Changming and said, "Okay, second brother has said it, then I will listen to him."
After saying that, Ma Jiangping took the pork belly that Ma Laizi brought back and went to the back kitchen. She rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and dug out all the annual goods that Ma Laizi had prepared, and she was ready to start. Ma Laizi looked at Ma Jiangping's family and frowned.
I let go. Seeing Ma Jiangping like this made me feel even more unhappy...
He doesn't feel bad about these things. Now that his family is rich, he doesn't lack these new year's goods. To put it bluntly, with his craftsmanship, he can have meals every day if he doesn't want to eat at home. But no one even asks about his own things.
I took it out when I asked, but I still felt a little angry.
But Ma Jiangping has already said before that she is that kind of person, and Ma Laizi has forgiven her, so it is not easy to pursue the case any further.
So Ma Laizi asked Ma Jiangping's husband, Meng Changming, to sit down, and the two of them chatted. Meng Changming seemed to have something on his mind, and his words were hesitant and not pleasant at all. Ma Laizi, who was so cheerful, naturally chatted with such a person.
I was extremely depressed. Not long after, the food was served.
Chinese people like to talk about anything at the table. After drinking for three rounds, Meng Changming finally spoke hesitantly: "Second brother, we are here this time. We really have something to ask you."
Ma Laizi had a good drinking capacity. Although his face was red and his ears were red, his mind was as clear as a mirror. He nodded slightly and said, "Go ahead."
Meng Changming said: "My child is over 20 years old. He came back halfway through school. Until now, he has never had a serious job. Let him go out to work. He can't bear the hardship. I've thought about it.
, I still want him to learn a craft. As the saying goes, if you have a skill, you can at least not starve to death. So I chatted with Jiang Ping, and I want my child to learn from you about carpentry and carving.
craft."
Speaking of this, Meng Changming, Ma Jiangping, and Meng Dezi all looked at Ma Laizi expectantly. Even Peng Xueyu, who was taking care of the children on the ground and feeding the two children, also looked over.
Ma Laizi spoke classically and said nothing. He ate some food and took a sip of wine, and then said: "It's okay to learn a craft."
As soon as these words came out, Meng Changming and Ma Jiangping looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes. Then the two people quickly toasted Ma Laizi.
Ma Laizi thought very simply. Yizhi Village was recruiting apprentices to begin with. Meng Dezi more than him is not much, and Meng Dezi without him is not much. Besides, in any case, there is some blood relationship. The older generation does not want to see them, so there is no need to bring them here.
The generation of children will go there. So he agreed...
However, Ma Laizi did not expect that this matter had just begun!
After a few more rounds of drinking, Ma Laizi became a little shaken and started to talk more. He also talked about the current development direction of Yizhi Village.
When they heard that the village was going to build a school, Ma Jiangping and Meng Changming immediately looked at each other. At that moment, their eyes were as bright as light bulbs! It was as if sparks had exploded between them in the air!
So Meng Changming asked: "Brother Ma, the school is a good place. Look, how about letting Dezi study with you for two days and also become a teacher?"
As soon as these words came out, Ma Laizi's brows twisted into the character "Sichuan"!
