On May 20, after half a month of waiting, Ma Xiaolong finally got his own ID card.
Today's ID cards are quite rudimentary. The photo is black and white, and it is stuck on with glue. It is completely different from the ones printed directly on it in the future. It is sealed with a layer of plastic on the outside, which gives it a full sense of backwardness.
"Congratulations, husband. From now on, you are also a person with an ID card." Zhu Sha, who got her ID card a month in advance, said with a smile.
"Same joy." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile, "I can finally go to the bank to open a bank account and apply for a card."
In the past, all the money he earned was transferred to Ma Qiangsheng's account. Now that he has an ID card, he can keep the money in his own hands. However, this requires re-signing the contract, and there are many re-signed contracts.
In any case, he has now truly found his own path and no longer has to rely on his guardian.
Taking advantage of his lunch break, Ma Xiaolong went to the four major banks to open accounts and apply for cards. According to the experience and wisdom of his ancestors, eggs cannot be put in one basket. Only when you have a spare tire can you lick the dog.
After applying for the card, it was already two o'clock. Ma Xiaolong and Zhu Sha did not go home. They had a simple lunch outside and then returned to school.
After the evening self-study, when she got home, Zhang Chiling immediately asked Ma Xiaolong for her ID card.
Ma Xiaolong took out a wallet from his trouser pocket. This was bought for him by Zhusha at noon. It was made of brown cowhide and had many interlayers. Four bank cards and ID cards were neatly inserted in it, as well as several large bills, more than a dozen.
Big or small tickets, a few small tickets.
He took out his ID card and handed it to Zhang Chiling.
Zhang Chiling looked at the photo and text on the ID card, smiled and said: "The photo looks pretty good."
"It's not bad." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "The main thing is that I don't have to bother my dad when I do anything in the future."
"Yes! I have grown up." Zhang Chiling touched the photo and then her face: "Mom is getting old too."
"You said that again." Ma Xiaolong pulled his ID card over and said, "It's too early for you to get old! Believe me, if you want to grow old, you can wait until you are sixty."
Zhang Chiling chuckled: "Sixty years old, she is an old woman."
"Xiaolong is right." Zhusha smiled and said: "Auntie, you may not look like you are in your thirties, but you are naturally beautiful and look like you are in your twenties. Even if you are sixty, you must look like you are in your forties.
, it’s still too early to get old!”
Zhang Chiling said with a smile: "You two are really as sweet as each other, so let me lend you some good words!"
Ma Xiaolong asked: "Is Xiaojun still doing his homework?"
"Yes!" Zhang Chiling said: "Children today are under too much academic pressure, but my mother didn't have so much pressure back then."
"At that time, your country was too poor. It was difficult to fill your stomach, so you had no time to study." Ma Xiaolong said, "It's different now. People can have enough to eat. We must pay close attention to education. Only knowledge can change our destiny."
"Yeah." Zhang Chiling nodded: "It's just too hard, even harder than going to work."
"You have to endure hardships to become a great person!" Ma Xiaolong said: "I'm going to take a shower."
"Would you like something to eat?" Zhang Chiling asked.
"Just watch and do it! Just put some padding on your belly, nothing more."
"good."
It has been half a month since Zhang Chiling and Chen Jun moved in. Now the four of them are used to living like this and get along like a family.
Zhang Zhiling fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother and took good care of her three children. Ma Xiaolong also fulfilled his responsibilities as the only man in the family. He did all the hard work and took care of external affairs. Zhu Sha and Chen Jun enjoyed the treatment of little girls at home.
, study hard and don’t worry about anything else.
It's only a month before the final exam, and both Zhu Sha and Chen Jun are very tired. Ma Xiaolong and Zhang Chiling take good care of them, so they can study without any distractions.
During these days, except for weekends when Zhu Sha would take Dai Yu to stay at home for a day, she would also follow Ma Xiaolong to live here. However, a few days ago, people from the demolition office came to the house.
Ma Xiaolong came forward in this matter, and his request was very simple. For such a big, beautiful, and quite new two-story building, it would be very reasonable to replace it with two sets of shops!
The people from the demolition office thought it was reasonable, but pointed out that the location of the shops was not very good and the area was not large.
"..." Ma Xiaolong was too lazy to argue with them, so he called the boss.
Yesterday, the demolition issue was settled. Two sets of shops on the corner of the street were taken down. Zhusha has to vacate the house before September. Of course, the house can also be demolished directly. The beams and pillars can be ripped out and sold.
, which is also a sum of money.
There are actually two kinds of money earned from demolition. One is to exchange houses or directly ask for money, and the other is the wood, trees and other things obtained during the demolition of your own house that can be exchanged for money.
Ma Xiaolong worked as a construction worker for more than 20 years in his previous life, and he was very familiar with the doorways. When he personally designed the Zhusha house, he knew which part of the house was the most valuable. After it was demolished, at least
It can be sold for several thousand yuan, and there are a lot of furniture and home appliances. Whether it is sold to the second-hand market or collected as junk, it is still an income.
In fact, the materials used in many old houses are quite good. In his previous life, when he heard the news about demolition, he would often drive around in his Sanbengzi to pick up building materials. After working for a month or two, he could earn at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
It’s just tiring, and sometimes it’s easy to have conflicts of interest when meeting colleagues.
It is now May, and Ma Xiaolong plans to demolish the house during the summer vacation. At the same time, the two nannies can no longer stay. They have been nannies at the Zhusha family for several years, and they have enjoyed a few years of happiness, but I don’t know.
After leaving, will you return to the village to get married? Or will you go to other places to work?
Anyway, it would be difficult for them to find a good job like being a nanny in the Zhusha family in the future.
After being together for several years, we had developed some feelings for each other. When Zhu Sha was about to fire them, he gave them two big red envelopes, which was considered as a way to seal the friendship over the past few years.
When I came out of the shower, there was a plate of steaming dumplings on the coffee table, as well as a plate of assorted vegetables and two cans of ice tea.
"Brother." Chen Jun finished his homework.
"Are you hungry? Let's eat something together?" Ma Xiaolong asked with a smile.
Chen Jun shook his head: "I ate a lot for dinner. I'm not hungry. Brother, you can eat!"
"Don't worry, let's wait for your sister Zhusha to eat together." Ma Xiaolong opened the ice tea tab, and the iced taste was great: "Where's mom?"
"There are deep-fried long nuts!" Chen Jun said.
"Oh." Ma Xiaolong put down the ice tea and said, "Xiaojun, reach out your hand."
"?" Chen Jun was confused, but still stretched out his hand.
Ma Xiaolong grabbed her wrist, pressed his fingers on her pulse, and felt it silently.
"..." Chen Jun was stunned for a moment and asked: "Brother, what's wrong?"
"It's okay." Ma Xiaolong said, "I see you don't look good, let's find out the reason."
Chen Jun suddenly became nervous.
After a while, Zhang Chiling and Zhu Sha came over one after another, and were stunned when they saw this scene.
"Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal." He was probably aware of his pulse now.
Letting go of his hand, Ma Xiaolong said: "It's a bit inflamed. Pay attention to hygiene and hygiene, and take some anti-inflammatory medicine. It will be fine."
"..." Zhang Zhiling understood it as soon as she heard it. Zhu Sha thought about it and understood it. But Chen Jun was stunned for a moment and asked: "What is inflammation?"
"Haha, it's just an infection." Ma Xiaolong said: "It's hot now and I sweat easily. From now on, I'll take a bath every morning, noon and night, wash my butt well, and change my underwear frequently. It'll be fine in a few days."
"..." Chen Jun understood and his face turned red.
"Don't be shy." Zhu Sha smiled and said, "I have been in this situation before. Just be careful and you will be fine soon."
Chen Jun lowered his head, still ashamed.
Zhang Chiling breathed a sigh of relief, touched her head and said, "Okay, this is not a big deal. I will take a good bath and take some anti-inflammatory medicine later."
"Um."
Due to congenital reasons, women will suffer from some gynecological diseases at various ages. In comparison, men do not have so many worries, so men always seem careless, while women are particularly careful. These are all differences caused by physiology.
.
With medical skills at hand, Ma Xiaolong can always detect the physical condition of the women in his family at the first time. Therefore, in the past two years, almost no one in the family has gotten sick, except for Ma Xiaofeng kicking the quilt in the middle of the night and Chen Jun not wearing a mask in winter.
But after gaining medical skills, he had a special understanding of women's bodies. He no longer had the beautiful imagination that ordinary boys have about girls, and he lost a lot of fun.
Everything has advantages and disadvantages, and there is nothing you can do about it.
Ma Xiaolong discovered the symptoms in time. After three days of cleaning and taking anti-inflammatory drugs, Chen Jun's inflammation disappeared and she became the perfect little fairy again.
Another week passed in the blink of an eye.
Saturday, the Dragon Boat Festival in the fifth lunar month.
When he came back from school at noon today, there was a car parked in front of his house. When he saw the car, he knew who was back.
When I walked into the house, I saw Ma Johnson and Liu Ying chatting with Zhang Chiling in the living room.
"Dad, Mom, why are you here?" Ma Xiaolong was a little excited. It had been two months since they had seen each other. They didn't even come back on his birthday. He didn't expect to come back today.
"I'll give you some rice dumplings and eggs." Liu Ying stood up, looked at her son, who had hardly changed, and her future daughter-in-law, and said with a smile, "How have you been lately?"
"It's good." Ma Xiaolong said, "Even if you and grandma are not at home, those aunts and old ladies won't come over either."
"Then I definitely can't come." Liu Ying stretched out her hand: "Bring me your ID card and show it to me."
"What's so good about an ID card?" He said this without any slowness in his movements. He took out the ID card from his wallet and handed it to her.
Liu Ying looked at the photos and the words above, walked silently to Ma Qiangsheng, sat down, and handed him her ID card: "Take a look."
Ma Qiangsheng took a look and nodded: "The photo was taken very well."
"This is not a question of whether the photo is good or not, it is a matter of my son growing up." Liu Ying said with a smile: "The money earned in the future will not be transferred to your card."
"..."
Ma Xiaolong was speechless: "You worry about my little money every day?"
"Then it's just a little! It's obviously a lot." Liu Ying put her ID card on the coffee table and said: "From now on, you have to take care of your own money and don't spend it randomly. If you spend too much money, you will definitely spend it all. Don't
The family fortune that was finally saved was lost."
"Am I that kind of person?" Ma Xiaolong rolled his eyes, picked up his ID card and inserted it into his wallet, saying, "You just give away rice dumplings and eggs? Nothing else?"
"I'm here to learn from you." Liu Ying said: "The work on the construction site has not been finished yet. There are too many things to take care of. Your father is too busy. Please think of a way."
"I knew you wouldn't come over for your son's birthday. You only thought of me when you had something to do." Ma Xiaolong complained.
Liu Ying and Ma Qiangsheng were both embarrassed. Although there was a reason for the incident, it was indeed their fault. It was right for their son to complain to them.
"Don't be angry, your parents are also too busy because they have too much work over there." Zhang Chiling comforted: "Because of this, you should help them and wait until they have settled the things over there.
I’ll have time to go home and see more.”
"This is what we did wrong." Ma Qiangsheng said: "We have really paid less attention to you during this period. We..."
"Okay, can I not know?" Ma Xiaolong waved his hand and said, "I'm not angry, and I don't blame you either, don't worry!"
Ma Qiangsheng and Liu Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
"As for management methods, we can't solve them in a short time. We can only rely on you to explore on your own." Ma Xiaolong said: "No matter how solid the theoretical knowledge is, it is not as good as a practical operation. And when it comes to the work in the field, you should be better than me.
Be better at it. Observe more, take more notes, organize more, and you will get better slowly."
Ma Qiangsheng wrote these words on his notepad and nodded repeatedly.
Looking at his tanned skin, Ma Xiaolong knew that he had really worked hard during the past period.
There is nothing we can do about it. Farm work itself is hard work. Otherwise, there would not be so many farmers leaving the countryside to work and buy houses in the city.
"Dad, can you handle the hard work of farm work?" Ma Xiaolong asked.
"Bitter?" This question puzzled Ma Qiangsheng: "What's so bitter about this? What an interesting thing. There are a bunch of people working with me every day. It's lively and lively. It's much better than working for you."
"..." Ma Xiaolong was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Whatever you think is good."
"Yeah." Ma Qiangsheng said: "The boiled eggs I brought you today are from free-range chickens raised in the field. They taste better than eggs from chicken farms. Your mother also made the rice dumplings overnight, so you can try them all."
taste."
"Then I must try it." Ma Xiaolong looked at Liu Ying and asked with a smile: "Mom, is it hard to live in the village? If it is hard, go home and live."
"I don't work. I just cook and clean housework. It's much easier than going to work." Liu Ying said, "The air in the village is good and my relatives are there. I am very happy every day now."
"That's good." Ma Xiaolong said, "I'm afraid you won't be used to living there."
"What's not used to it? Don't you have to go there and stay for a few days every year?" Liu Ying said with a smile: "Besides, our family has a car and can drive to the town in ten minutes. New houses have also been built in the village.
It’s no different at home.”
"That's good." Ma Xiaolong was relieved.
That's good.
