At noon, a Beijing taxi stopped in front of Ma Xiaolong's house.
The car door opened and Ma Xiaolong got out of the car. The door also opened at this time. Zhu Sha and Chen Jun walked out. When they saw him, the two girls smiled.
"Daughter-in-law, Xiaojun, I'm back!" Ma Xiaolong went up and gave the two girls a bear hug: "I miss you so much!"
Zhusha hugged him and said, "It's dark!"
"I got a tan while walking in Hong Kong." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile.
Chen Jun greedily immersed himself in his breath and said, "Brother, you seem to have lost weight."
"Not thin." Ma Xiaolong touched her head and said with a smile: "White looks fatter, black looks thinner, and the weight has not changed over time."
"Brother, I don't object to you being intimate with your wife as soon as you get home, but do you still want the things in the car?" The driver, who spoke of Beijing movies, shouted from the driver's seat.
"Ouch! Sorry, I'm going to move the things down right now." Ma Xiaolong opened the back seat of the car, pulled down the two large suitcases, and said to the driver: "Okay, master, go back and take your time."
"Okay, if you have any work in the future, please call my pager and I'll be on hand when you call me." The driver said.
Although it is now 1998, and mobile phones have begun to become smaller and more sophisticated, pagers still occupy a certain market share, but it is very troublesome to contact them. You have to call the paging station first, leave a message on the other party's pager, and then the other party's pager receives the message. , would you go to a public telephone booth to call and ask about something?
Seeing this, you should understand why the bp opportunity will be eliminated in the near future.
It's a pity for those young ladies with nice paging voices. I don't know where they will go in the future?
On the other hand, there will be many advertisements for small cards now and in the next few years, with pictures of beautiful paging girls printed on them, and then leaving a phone number. Just call this number and a 'lady' with a nice voice will take care of your worries. Relieving boredom can be described as a 'little angel' that heals people's hearts.
After the incident was exposed, it was discovered that these little angels were all aunts in their forties or fifties. I wonder if those pagers who had their hearts healed suffered physical or mental harm?
In this turbulent era, weird things have happened that many people born after 2000 could not imagine.
Zhu Sha and Chen Jun each pulled a suitcase and followed Ma Xiaolong into the living room.
"mom!"
In the living room, Zhang Zhiling had just cut a watermelon. When she saw Ma Xiaolong come in, she smiled and said, "You're back! Eat the watermelon you just cut!"
"Thank you, Mom." Ma Xiaolong stepped forward to hug her and sang: "Mom is the only one good in the world."
Zhang Chiling chuckled and lightly tapped his forehead: "Ghost."
Ma Xiaolong chuckled and said, "Mom, I bought you a lot of things in Xiangjiang, please open them and take a look!"
"Okay." Zhang Chiling's eyes were gentle. Every time her son came back from a trip, he would bring her a gift. With such a son, what else could he be dissatisfied with?
Ma Xiaolong went to eat the watermelon, and the three women opened the suitcase and started to 'divide the spoils'.
They were not worried that they would not be able to tell them apart, because Ma Xiaolong would classify and package the different gifts so that it was clear who belonged to whom.
At first, the three girls didn't think anything when they saw their names written on the package. But when they saw the names of "Grandpa and Grandma" written on the package, the three girls were stunned.
Zhusha asked: "Husband, why do you still have the things belonging to your grandparents?"
"Oh?" Ma Xiaolong wiped his mouth and said, "My sister-in-law asked me to bring that back, and I want to tell you something by the way."
"What's up?"
"Our dad is coming back." Ma Xiaolong said.
"..." Zhu Sha was stunned.
…
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ma Xiaolong drove his Sanbengzi, took cinnabar and gifts, and went straight to Shuangshi Village.
In less than half an hour, the two arrived at their grandfather and grandmother's house, handed the gifts to the two elders, and also informed them of the news of Zhu Zhiqiang's upcoming return.
"Zhiqiang is coming back?" When grandma heard the news, she overturned the tea cup in excitement, quickly wiped the spilled tea, and asked, "Really!?"
"It's absolutely true." Ma Xiaolong said, "But my dad had plastic surgery and his appearance is different from before. When he comes back, you two should be mentally prepared."
"Plastic surgery!?" The two elders frowned.
Zhu Erzhuang slapped the table and said angrily: "The skin of your body depends on your parents, but this bastard actually dares to use a knife on his face! Does he want to piss us off to death?"
"Grandpa, please calm down." Ma Xiaolong quickly persuaded him: "You also know why my dad went abroad. Although it is not so strict now, there is still a risk in coming back. Now that he has changed his appearance and identity, he is no longer afraid of being exposed.
Only in this way can he stay in the country safely, otherwise he will not be able to come back at all."
After a pause: "Besides, he only came back this time to see you, grandma and Cinnabar, and he will go back after seeing you."
"Go back!?" Grandma was shocked and asked quickly: "Why are you going back?"
"He is now a Chinese from Lijiapo. He has changed his nationality and has a good career in Lijiapo. Besides..." Ma Xiaolong paused, not knowing whether he should say anything.
"What's wrong?" Grandpa asked, "What did that kid do again?"
"Well... you also know that my dad is alone abroad and is quite lonely. I heard from my sister-in-law that he got along well with a girl a while ago and is already married. This time he will bring his wife back with him."
"..."
After a moment of silence, grandma turned to look at Zhu Sha and asked cautiously: "Xiao Sha, do you know about this?"
Zhusha nodded: "Xiaolong told me, it's okay. Now I have Xiaolong to rely on, and my dad is not too old. It would be good to find a woman to live a good life."
Grandma breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's right, your dad is only thirty-three this year, and the rest of his life is still very long. It would be good to find a woman to comfort him, but I don't know what this woman is like?"
"Don't worry about this." Ma Xiaolong said, "My sister-in-law has already met that woman. She is very beautiful and virtuous. She is ten years younger than my father. Apart from being born in poverty, there is nothing wrong with her."
"It's okay to be poor, as long as you're nice." Grandma felt relieved, paused, and asked, "Is that woman Chinese?"
"No." Ma Xiaolong shook his head and said, "Originally, she was my dad's Filipino maid, but you also know my dad. Anyway, the two of us got along well after going back and forth."
"Filipino maid?" Grandpa seemed very interested: "Is it the kind of Filipino maid mentioned in the TV series?"
"Uh, yes." Ma Xiaolong looked at the somewhat excited old man and wondered what he meant.
"Okay!" Grandpa slapped his thigh: "I also found a foreign girl. Not bad, she will make our Chinese men look good."
"..."
When leaving, seeing his grandma grabbing his grandfather's ears and scolding him loudly, Ma Xiaolong shook his head: You will not live if you do it yourself!
He turned to look at Zhu Sha and asked, "Daughter-in-law, do you really not care?"
"There's nothing to worry about." Zhusha smoothed her hair and said, "He has been ridiculous for half his life, but now he can find a woman and get married and live peacefully. I'm very happy for him."
"As long as you don't care." Ma Xiaolong said, "I'm afraid that you will feel uncomfortable if you have half-brothers and sisters in the future."
"They live abroad and it won't affect me. What should I feel awkward about?" Zhu Sha smiled slightly: "I already have my own home, so we can all be well."
"..."
Ma Xiaolong held her hand and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
"Today, the Chinese Valentine's Day, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the Magpie Bridge. Let's go on a date!" Zhu Sha's cheeks were slightly red: "In the evening... find a place."
"..."
There is actually nothing interesting in the town, and there are no attractions. An amusement park closed down due to poor management a few years ago, and the movie theater closed this year. However, there is a night market where you can take a stroll.
As for hotels? Given their age, if they dare to open a room, the police will arrest them.
After much deliberation, Ma Xiaolong took Cinnabar to the development zone.
This year, some villas around the lake were built in the development zone, and one of them has been renovated. As the boss, Ma Xiaolong naturally occupied this villa, but he has not stayed there yet, so today is the perfect day.
During the Chinese Valentine's Day, Ma Xiaolong took Zhu Sha to this ancient Chinese-style villa building. The two local girls in charge of the villa's hygiene saw the owner of the villa coming, and stood up in a panic to greet him: "Hello, boss."
Ma Xiaolong nodded: "The boss lady and I are going to rest in the swimming pool on the third floor. You go and prepare some fruits and snacks."
"Okay." The two girls immediately went to prepare what the boss ordered. At the same time, they began to gossip in their hearts: It turns out that the boss's wife looks like this, no wonder she can be the boss's wife, she is so beautiful.
In the hall downstairs, Zhu Sha looked at the design of the villa and said with emotion: "It's so luxurious, even more luxurious than the courtyard house in Beijing."
"The courtyard is only 400 square meters, and this villa is more than 1,200 square meters, and it is a three-story structure. But after it was built and decorated, it only cost a million, so it is very cheap." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile.
"The cost of building a house by yourself is definitely low." Zhu Sha asked, "Isn't most of this villa already in decoration?"
"Yes! Not only does it have an indoor swimming pool, but it also has a home theater, chess and card room, fitness room, game room, study room, etc. That means we still have to go to school and can't move here, but like today, this place is useful.
Already."
Zhusha's cheeks were slightly red, and she said, "You said before that you would leave a villa for Xiaojun and Xiaofeng. Is this right here?"
"Yeah." Ma Xiaolong held her hand and said, "This is my business base. When I graduate from college, I will most likely live here. What do you think?"
"Very good." Zhu Sha said softly: "Although big cities have the prosperity of big cities, your real ability is to make your hometown prosperous little by little. I believe you can do it."
"As expected of my daughter-in-law, we really have the same understanding." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "I think so too. I'm not arrogant, I just want to see if I can build my hometown into a front-line state with my own ability.
A big city? If I can do it, it will be a great life achievement for me. Even if I can't do it, I have tried hard and I will have a clear conscience."
Zhu Sha looked at his profile, a trace of obsession flashed in her eyes: "I believe you can do it."
"You're a bit of a blind worshiper." Ma Xiaolong smiled and said, "I don't even have much confidence myself."
"I believe you, because..." Zhusha kissed him gently on the cheek and smiled: "You are my husband!"
Ah! This is so damn tender and touching.
"Okay!" Ma Xiaolong firmly believed: "In order to live up to my wife's trust, I will do my best to build this place into one of the most prosperous cities in China."
"Yeah." Zhu Sha smiled like a flower.
Soon, the two came to the third floor. Zhusha saw the indoor swimming pool in the lobby on the third floor. The swimming pool was very big, just like a regular swimming pool, but four small 2x2m swimming pools were separated from the corners. The height of the water was only
Half a meter, you can sit and relax in it in the summer.
"There are swimsuits of different styles and sizes in the changing room next to you. Go and change into the one you like." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile.
Seeing the indoor swimming pool for the first time, Cinnabar nodded excitedly, walked into the changing room, and quickly changed into a red one-piece swimsuit.
Ma Xiaolong was a little disappointed when he saw the swimsuit she chose: "I thought you would wear a split bikini!"
Zhusha blushed and rolled her eyes: "You should go change into swimming trunks too!"
Just now she saw that there were men's swimming trunks in the changing room.
"Okay." Ma Xiaolong shook his head and sighed as he walked into the changing room. Soon he changed into a pair of swimming briefs, which perfectly showed off his good figure.
Zhusha's heart skipped a beat when she saw what he looked like now. Although she had seen him many times before, this was the first time she saw him in swimming trunks. It felt completely different from usual.
Seeing her doing warm-up exercises, Ma Xiaolong smiled and said, "The water in the swimming pool is actually warm, so it's okay if you don't do warm-up exercises."
"To be on the safe side, I'd better do it." Zhusha moved her joints and said, "I'm going to swim around first."
"Okay." Ma Xiaolong nodded and said, "I'll go get something to eat."
There are several lounge chairs by the pool, and there is a small table next to the lounge chairs. On the table there are cakes and snacks sold by the pastry shop in the base, as well as diced fruit salad. There is an ice bucket under the table, and there are several ice buckets buried in the ice bucket.
With canned drinks, you can have ice-cold drinks at any time.
Ma Xiaolong ate two pieces of cream cake and drank a sip of cold tea, feeling comfortable.
Zhusha swam happily in the swimming pool, her graceful figure looming in the water, and Ma Xiaolong looked at it with a smile on his face.
Ten minutes later, Zhu Sha was a little tired. She walked out of the swimming pool and sat on the lounge chair next to Ma Xiaolong. She picked up a piece of snack and stuffed it into her mouth. She chewed it for a while and said, "It's quite delicious."
"A pastry shop has been opened in the base, and the chef was hired from Jincheng." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "In addition to the authentic Jincheng pastries, the chef also learned Western pastries. Because they taste so good, they are basically sold out every day.
"
"Did you invite me here?" Cinnabar asked.
"How can I have the time?" Ma Xiaolong said, "The project manager in charge of the base invited me."
"Very smart." Zhu Sha smiled.
"I think so too." Ma Xiaolong handed her a can of Red Bull and said, "You eat it first, and I'll go for a swim too."
"Okay." Zhu Sha nodded and watched Ma Xiaolong jump into the swimming pool with a vigorous figure and swim in the water like a fish, his eyes gradually became blurred.
