Chapter Ninety-Three Live as much as you want (two in one)
While everyone was taking a lunch break, Ma Xiaolong was writing furiously in the study.
There is no lunch break for people who are full of energy. Of course, they have to do as much work as they have.
He is currently drawing "Under One Man". There are still more than three months before the new comic magazine is released. The first issue will definitely have to be large and full. He plans to publish three chapters in one go, and he has also recruited more than a dozen other comic authors.
Currently, they are preparing to publish their works in the first issue.
Among them is Yan Kai, whose "Snow Coconut" serialized in "King of Painting" a few years ago has been sought after by countless comic fans in China, and a single volume was released last year, which sold 90,000 copies. It can be said that
He is the cartoonist second only to him in China.
After discovering this general on the Internet, he planned to make "Snow Coconut" the joint flagship work with "Under One Person" when he first published it. However, this Yan Kai especially loves Gu Gu Gu. In order to allow him to smoothly serialize "Snow Coconut"
At the end, Ma Xiaolong specially captured him in the capital and sent an editor to keep an eye on him and draw comics, so that this pigeon could complete "Snow Coconut" in the next few years.
This pigeon is really outrageous. From the serialization in 1994 until his rebirth, there were only eight single volumes published in 28 years. Even the old thief Togashi didn't dare to complain like this.
As a capitalist, Ma Xiaolong will never allow this pigeon to continue cooing. He has prepared both carrots and sticks. He does not believe that this pigeon can escape from his Wuzhi Mountain.
I worked hard for two hours and drew five drawings. It looked very fast, but it was considered slow for him. With "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Sword Art Online" as his predecessors, this "Under One Man" is definitely
The paintings must be made with precision. In his paintings, the painting is even more exquisite than the animation. Sister Baoer is simply the goddess among goddesses. No man can resist the charm of Sister Baoer.
In addition to Sister Baoer, all the other female characters are also outstanding. In the future, just selling peripherals will be a huge amount of income.
Animation fans are mostly otakus, who like handsome men and beautiful women the most, and are willing to pay for their favorite anime characters. Even if it is to make them willing to pay money, Xiaolong Ma must make the characters more beautiful and outstanding.
This is the professional ethics a top cartoonist should have.
After the lunch break, Ma Xiaolong went to prepare for tonight's reunion dinner.
Since he acquired the cooking skills, he has basically taken care of all the meals for the holidays at home. Everyone wants to eat better during the holidays, so naturally whoever has better cooking skills will be better. In the past, Ma Qiangsheng and grandma were in charge of the first two.
Ma Xiaofeng became a participant when she was young, but now, Ma Xiaolong has become the absolute master chef of the family, and no one can replace her.
August 15th is not as good as the Spring Festival, but during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the air is crisp and clear. The whole family sits in the yard, eating delicious food and admiring the moon. This atmosphere is incomparable to the cold Spring Festival.
The town is very close to Shandong, and the food is similar to Shandong cuisine, which is heavy on oil and salt, mainly salty, and can be fried or fried.
It was a rare family reunion, so Ma Xiaolong tried his best to prepare a table of top-notch delicacies with all colors, flavors, and shapes. As soon as his grandpa got home in the evening, he smelled a delicious aroma that made his mouth water with greed.
"Hey! This table is pretty good today! You can smell it from all the way." Grandpa's current mount is no longer the small tricycle welded by himself back then, but a serious tricycle for the elderly.
As soon as the tricycle stopped against the wall, grandpa couldn't wait to wash his hands, wash his face, change clothes, and get ready to taste the festival delicacies.
Ma Qiangsheng moved the karaoke machine he bought this year out of the living room. Today he not only wants to admire the moon, but also sings and makes it lively.
"Zhiling, come on, you, the teacher, sing first, a song with the moon in it." Liu Ying called Zhang Chiling to come over and sing.
For ordinary families to sing, they just sing to express their mood, but to enjoy it, one must have studied music professionally. There are three good singers in Xiaolong's family, Zhang Zhiling is the worst one, and the middle one is Chen Jun, who is the best
It's Ma Xiaolong. There are three people in the family who can sing. On such a festival, it can really make the ears enjoy it.
Zhang Chiling picked up the microphone with a smile and ordered the song "The Moon Represents My Heart".
"You ask me how deeply I love you, how much I love you, my affection is true, my love is true, the moon represents my heart..."
Seriously speaking, this is a love song, but after all, it touches the moon, so it can be considered appropriate for the occasion.
Zhang Chiling's voice is very soft and soothing, giving people a gentle feeling, which is consistent with her inner nature. To be honest, if Chen Jun's damn dad can marry Zhang Chiling, this life is already worth it, even if it means death
Although Ma Feng was very popular, it is estimated that nine out of ten men in the world hope that they will die in this way. It can be said that he fulfilled all the dreams that men have for women.
After one song, everyone applauded: "One more!"
Zhang Chiling smiled and waved her hand, and handed the microphone to Liu Ying: "Sister Ying, please sing one too!"
"My singing is not good." After saying this, Liu Ying sang a song: "A song called "Orchid Grass", dedicated to everyone."
Everyone applauded Mianzi very much.
Seeing that everyone was already enjoying the festive atmosphere in the yard, Ma Xiaolong in the kitchen sighed and sang: "Keep the sadness to yourself..."
I have endured so much for this family.
Plate after plate of delicious food was served, and the festive atmosphere became more intense. Some neighbors with poor family conditions did not celebrate the festival, but just ate two mooncakes at home and ran out of the house.
The door of Ma Xiaolong's house was open, and the aroma of food was constantly wafting out, causing the children who ran out of the house to swallow their saliva. They came to the door one after another, listening to the people singing in the yard, and drooling at the delicious food on the dinner table.
Liu Ying saw these little carrots at the door of her house, and went to the house to get a bunch of snacks and fruits to share with them: "It's the festival, don't wander around outside, go home quickly, or the old goblin will come to catch you soon.
.”
The little carrots got snacks and fruits and went home happily. As for the old monster? Humph! Do you really think they don’t know that when a red star shines in the sky, monsters can’t become spirits?
Chen Jun looked at those little carrot heads, smiled slightly, and went to the kitchen to serve the food.
In the kitchen, Ma Xiaolong put a plate of cashew nut shrimps on a plate, handed it to Chen Jun who came over, and said: "Okay, there is still one last soup left. Thank you for your hard work, Xiaojun."
Chen Jun shook his head repeatedly: "If you don't work hard, my brother will work hard."
"Xiaojun still feels sorry for my brother." Ma Xiaolong was very pleased. When he heard Ma Xiaofeng howling and singing "Walk Away", he frowned and sighed: "It would be great if you could really change with Xiaofeng."
I won’t change it!
Chen Jun left silently with cashew nuts and shrimps, and met Zhu Sha face to face.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaojun." Zhu Sha smiled and said, "Let me help you too!"
Chen Jun shook his head: "It's nothing. My brother only has the last soup left. No need to help."
"Really?" Zhu Sha smiled slightly and went to the kitchen as usual.
Looking at her back, Chen Jun silently took the plate and left.
In the kitchen, Zhu Sha hugged Ma Xiaolong from behind while he was making soup.
Ma Xiaolong smiled slightly: "Why don't you sing?"
"I don't sing well." Zhu Sha kissed him on the neck and said, "Husband, you have worked hard today."
"Serve the people." Ma Xiaolong smiled and asked, "What happened today? You are so clingy."
"It's nothing, I'm just a little... how should I put it? I feel like I really saw what you will look like in the future. It's obviously impossible, but I still feel worried and want to hug you to prevent you from being lonely." Zhu Sha said softly.
.
"..." The seaweed and egg drop soup was ready. Ma Xiaolong turned off the heat, poured the soup into a white porcelain soup basin, turned around and hugged her, kissed her forehead, eyes, cheeks, lips, and said with a smile: "I have
How can you be lonely?"
Zhusha was a little moved by the kiss, and she met his eyes with moist eyes. She raised her hand and gently stroked his cheek: "Well, I am here! I will not let my husband be lonely."
"My wife still loves me." Ma Xiaolong kissed her on the face again: "Okay, let's go eat!"
Zhu Sha smiled and nodded: "Yes."
…
"Here it comes! The soup is here!" The seaweed and egg drop soup was placed in the center of the dining table. Ma Xiaolong said: "It's all here. Hurry up and pour the drinks and wine!"
"If you drink cans today, you don't need a cup." Liu Ying said: "Drinking gentlemen, don't use wine glasses, just blow into the bottle!"
Ma Qiangsheng and his grandfather looked at each other, both smiled, and they were quite good at blowing on the bottle.
My grandpa loves to drink liquor. He has a small bottle of Erguotou at home, and he has no problem blowing the bottle.
Everyone sat around the dinner table, and grandpa held up Erguotou and said: "Today is August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival. People say that people with a full moon reunite. This year our family is quite reunited. I hope next year and the year after that, as long as I can still
I just hope that our family can always be reunited. Come, everyone can go as they please."
"Cheers~!"
Everyone was eating, drinking, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere became lively again.
"Xiaofeng!" Grandpa put down his chopsticks and said to Ma Xiaofeng who was enjoying the meal: "You have grown up and now you are studying outside alone. Grandpa is very happy. But outside is not like at home. You are stupid and have no clue what to say. When something happens,
Just think carefully and don't get into trouble."
"Yeah." Ma Xiaofeng chewed on the big chicken leg and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely not cause trouble."
Seeing that she was still the same as before, my grandfather was a little helpless, and with a bit of doting, he smiled and scolded: "You~! If you were one-tenth as smart as your brother, I would be relieved."
"How can I be so bad?" Ma Xiaofeng was not happy to hear this: "Our teacher often praises me for my high level of understanding. I was born to eat this kind of rice!"
"Really?" Grandpa was a little surprised: "Did your teacher really say that?"
"Then there are still lies?" Ma Xiaofeng said: "Our teacher is from the Yangma. She is very strict in teaching. Everyone else has been criticized by her, but I was the only one. Not only did she not criticize me, she always praised me and said that I would definitely do it in the future.
Promising."
"Oh! Do you still have such a highlight moment?" Ma Xiaolong was surprised when he heard this. Although he knew that Ma Xiaofeng was very talented in makeup technology, he did not expect that he was so talented that he could overwhelm other students.
"That's right." Ma Xiaofeng said proudly: "The teacher also told me to work hard. If I pass the exam in one year, he will accept me as his successor!"
"Oh! That's amazing." Everyone was shocked and couldn't believe that the silly Ma Xiaofeng had such a talent.
"Then you have to study hard." Grandma said quickly: "If you learn well in the future, you might be able to work at Yangma!"
"I will definitely work hard." Ma Xiaofeng said: "Through the past period of study, I found that the makeup industry is broad and profound. In addition to facial makeup, there are also clothing matching, background selection, lighting photography, etc., anyway, it is related to beauty.
I want to learn all these things, maybe I can be responsible for the transformation of a movie in the future!"
"Follow the Tao?" Except for Ma Xiaolong, no one else understood the meaning.
"Costumes, makeup, props." Ma Xiaofeng said: "To put it simply, it is the dressing and use of a film and television drama. Although good costumes may not necessarily improve the quality of a film and television drama, it can at least improve the quality of a film and television drama.
It is pleasing to the audience after watching it. My teacher taught me these things, and when I pass the exam, she will teach me all the skills."
After a pause, Ma Xiaofeng said: "Brother, if your company makes movies or TV series in the future, remember to ask me to be responsible for serving the Taoists. I will definitely be able to do it beautifully."
"Okay." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "Don't avoid relatives when promoting talents. If you really have that ability, you will be the head of the top service department of Xiaolong Entertainment Company in the future."
"It's a deal." Ma Xiaofeng said happily: "When Sister Sha stops being a martial arts star, I will go work for your company."
"Why not be a martial arts star? Who wants to be a martial arts star? Xiao Sha?" Grandma asked.
"Yeah." Ma Xiaofeng said: "My sister Sha's dream since she was a child is to be a martial arts star. But when she went to bed at noon, she said that she would get married when her brother was 22 years old. After getting married, she would stop being a good wife and a good mother."
As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere at the scene changed.
Grandpa, grandma, Liu Ying, and Ma Qiangsheng all looked at Zhusha with emotion and love. Zhang Chiling was happy with a hint of helplessness. She was happy that her godson had such a future wife who was willing to sacrifice for him, but she was helpless.
For his daughter.
Her daughter, Chen Jun, was taking a mouthful of shrimps silently, her expression neither sad nor happy.
Ma Xiaolong held Zhu Sha's hand and was so moved: "Actually, even if you get married, as long as you like it, you can go filming again at any time, and I will help you make arrangements."
Zhusha smiled and shook her head: "It still doesn't work. I used to dream of being a martial arts star, but in the past two years, I feel more and more that being with you is more important than anything else. After getting married, I will be at home and be a good wife and mother.
of."
Ma Xiaolong was even more moved. He clasped his fingers with her and said, "You don't have to sacrifice so much for me. I hope you live the way you like."
"That's what I like." Zhu Sha looked at the people present and smiled: "A family reunited and happy. This is the life I dream of. If possible, I hope everyone will live together in the future.
We will never be separated. Even if we can’t, I hope we can live closer together and visit each other’s homes at any time.”
"No problem." Ma Xiaolong said, "It's definitely no problem." He turned to Zhang Chiling and said, "Mom, I'll buy a few large neighboring houses later. Even if this place is demolished in the future, we will live together."
Of course Zhang Chiling didn't want to be separated from Ma Xiaolong, so she nodded with a smile: "Okay."
"There are also Xiaojun and Xiaofeng." Ma Xiaolong said to the two girls: "Even if you get married in the future, don't marry too far away. There will always be a house left for you in the family, and you can come back and live at any time."
"This is what you said, you have to leave me a house in the future." Ma Xiaofeng got excited when she saw that there was an advantage to be taken advantage of: "I want to live in a villa with a separate courtyard, preferably with a swimming pool in the courtyard.
, you can swim in the pool at any time in the summer.”
"What you think is quite beautiful." Grandma laughed and scolded: "Do you really think that your brother's money was blown by the strong wind?"
"Actually, it's almost the same." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "No problem. Now my base is in the development zone. I will definitely build a lot of houses in the future. I will leave you a villa." He turned to Chen Jun and said: "Also leave it for Xiaojun.
set."
Chen Jun was stunned for a moment: "Do I have one too?"
"Xiaofeng has it, and you must have it too." Ma Xiaolong rubbed her head and said with a smile: "Brother loves you the most. No one can be without you. As long as you want it, brother has the ability. What?
All for you."
"..." Chen Jun blushed slightly and said, "Thank you, brother."
"Why are you so polite?"
Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhiling was very happy, but she said: "Xiaolong, don't spoil her."
"No." Ma Xiaolong said: "Xiaojun is the most sensible and well-behaved child I have ever seen. No matter how much I spoil her, I can't spoil her. I'm just afraid that she is too sensible and will bear everything by herself. She doesn't want my brother to help me."
she."
"It's true." Liu Ying said: "This child Xiaojun is so sensible, so sensible that it makes people feel bad. When I see her, I really want to give her everything. This child is so painful."
"Well, Xiaojun is a good boy. If anyone can marry her in the future, it will be a shame for our ancestors. I am afraid that Xiaojun will trust someone wrong in the future." Grandma said.
"No!" Ma Xiaolong said: "Whoever wants to marry my sister must get through me first. If you don't like me, don't even think about marrying Xiaojun home."
Chen Jun lowered his head shyly, but the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Zhu Sha smiled and said: "As my sister-in-law, I will also help to check the situation. I will definitely find a suitable husband for Xiaojun."
Chen Jun: "..."
"What about me? What about me?" Ma Xiaofeng was anxious: "I'm older than Xiaojun, so why are you helping her find it, but not me?"
"You?" Everyone looked at her and didn't know what to say.
Liu Ying said: "You still want us to help you find it? It will be good if you don't harm others in the future."
"..."
"For your temper, just find someone honest and kind in the future, but don't bully others and live a good life." Grandma said.
"..."
"You still have to be careful." Grandpa said: "After all, we are the eldest granddaughters. We can't just drag all the crooked melons and dates into the house."
"..."
Ma Qiangsheng took a sip of wine and said, "It's still early. In the next five or six years, you should calm down your temper and live a good life when you get married. Your mother's family will support you, but you still have to live your life by yourself."
Ma Xiaofeng couldn't listen anymore: "Why are you all talking about me? Am I that unbearable?"
"Xiaofeng." Ma Xiaolong said: "Don't worry, my brother will definitely help you. Although you will definitely bully my brother-in-law in the future, I believe you will live a prosperous life, you are such a person! Judging from your appearance,
Wangfu, there must be no problem."
"Ah? My husband?" Although Ma Xiaofeng was a little angry, she was seduced by the last sentence and asked enthusiastically: "How can you tell?"
"Haha, even though you look like a pretty uncoordinated girl, you do a good job in housework. Although you are careless, you have no problem handling people. The most important thing is that you are kind, filial, and caring.
, I’m still generous. If I get married in the future, I’ll definitely be able to live in harmony with my husband’s family. And look at your ass, it’s easy to have children. Whoever marries you will definitely live a prosperous life.”
"Am I so good?" Ma Xiaofeng was very happy, and then rolled her eyes: "Then you still beat me all the time?"
"I want you to get rid of those bad habits." Ma Xiaolong shook his head and said, "You also remember to eat and not to fight. Anyway, when making friends in the future, don't make friends with those petty people, as they will easily resent you."
"Hmph!" Ma Xiaofeng picked up the chopsticks and said, "Brother, you will bully me."
"Your brother is doing everything for your own good." Liu Ying scolded with a smile: "If your brother hadn't been correcting your mistakes all these years, would you be like this?"
"Hey~!" Ma Xiaofeng stuck out her tongue.
Everyone laughed.
After laughing, grandpa said with emotion: "Xiaolong is okay. With a wife as good as Xiaosha, I will definitely live a comfortable life in the future. Your grandma and I will also be able to enjoy the blessings in the future."
"That's for sure." Ma Xiaolong held Zhu Sha's hand and said with a smile: "When we get married, I will give you and grandma a big, fat grandson, and let you take care of your children at home every day."
Grandpa and grandma were so happy: "One is not enough, at least give birth to two."
Ma Xiaolong smiled, looked at Zhu Sha with a reddish face, and asked, "Daughter-in-law, how many do you think we will have after we get married?"
For a girl who is only fifteen years old, it is too early to have a child, but she is indeed eager to have the fruit of her and Ma Xiaolong's love in the near future.
He smiled and said, "As long as you can afford the fine, you can have as many children as you like."
Ma Xiaolong was so embarrassed that everyone couldn't stop laughing.
Chen Jun held the can in both hands, took a sip of the drink silently, looked at Zhu Sha with a smile like a flower, and then looked at Ma Xiaolong with doting eyes. When everyone's laughter stopped, he asked: "Brother, do you like boys or girls?"
"Girl!" Ma Xiaolong turned to look at her and asked with a smile, "Why do you ask this?"
Chen Jun blinked and said, "What if Sister Zhusha gives birth to a boy?"
"There's nothing wrong with boys!" Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "They are all my children, and I love them all. But daughters are parents' caring little cotton-padded jackets. When we grow old, it will definitely be our daughters who know both coldness and warmth."
"No way! My brother knows both cold and hot." Chen Jun said.
"Then~! Why don't you look at who your brother is? There is only one like him in the world." Ma Xiaolong boasted.
Everyone laughed, and Ma Xiaofeng spat: "Smelly."
Chen Jun turned to look at Zhu Sha and said: "Sister Zhu Sha, come on, try to give your brother more daughters."
"..."
