Zhu Zhiqiang came back this time and stayed in the town for a week. In addition to entertaining his daughter and son-in-law alone on the first day, he called his parents over on the second day. Zhu Lingling also took half a day to sit down and eat together with the whole family.
We had a meal and chatted for a long time.
Although the old couple were not used to Zhu Zhiqiang's current appearance, they knew that their son was doing it in a helpless way to hide from others, so they accepted this fact.
In the next few days, Zhu Zhiqiang enjoyed some family fun and took a look at the changes in the town in the past three years. Especially when he saw that the previous houses had been demolished and new commercial housing was being built, he couldn't help feeling that the past was really coming back.
Not coming anymore.
In the last two days, he went to the development zone base and saw that his son-in-law had cultivated such a large area of property. He was very satisfied. At least he knew that his daughter could live a good life as a rich wife in the future.
At the end of the week, Zhu Zhiqiang said goodbye to his parents and took Janela back to Lijiapo. After that, he would accompany Janela back to her parents' home to meet her mother-in-law. He had a busy schedule!
After sending Zhu Zhiqiang abroad for the second time, Zhu Sha no longer had the worries and reluctance of the past, but only a sense of peace of mind about the future. Her father had changed his face, reorganized the family, and would give her a lot of younger brothers and sisters in the future. Just think about it.
Want to laugh.
Time has arrived in October before we know it. This year's National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival are only five days apart. If it were the seven-day National Day holiday after 1999, this holiday would definitely be postponed. Unfortunately, this year is 1998.
Except for a day off on National Day, we don’t even have a holiday during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
This made grandpa, grandma and Ma Xiaofeng who came back specially for the festival very unhappy, so they went to Ma Qiangsheng's family during the day for a reunion, and came back in the evening to have a reunion dinner with their eldest grandson.
When we came back this time, grandpa and grandma were in obviously different states. They were wearing trendy clothes and looked very good. Even Lulu was wearing a floral gown, which is called fashionable.
And Ma Xiaofeng has passed her teacher's test and has been officially accepted as a closed disciple and successor. She is currently living a very fulfilling life.
"By the way." Grandma suddenly remembered something and said, "Xiaolong, do you know many neighbors in Dashizuo Hutong in the capital?"
"Uh~Yes!" Ma Xiaolong nodded: "What's wrong, grandma?"
"That's no wonder." Grandma smiled and said, "I went to live there with your grandfather for a few days a while ago. There was an old lady named Yi who came over with her granddaughter every day. She said that you got along very well before, and you even
I’m asking you why you didn’t come over to stay this summer!”
"..."
"Huh! They don't have good intentions." Ma Xiaofeng knew the cause and effect and said angrily: "Then Elizabeth knows that my brother has a partner and still keeps pestering her all day long. She will definitely not be able to go there in the future."
"What's going on?" Except for a few teenagers, all the adults were confused.
"That's what happened..." Ma Xiaofeng took the initiative to explain the cause and effect of the matter in detail. After hearing this, the adults all had wonderful expressions on their faces. They never expected that the matter would be so bizarre.
"No wonder when Elizabeth saw us, it was like meeting her own grandma. It turned out to be Xiaolong's idea." Grandma's mood was a bit complicated, and her inner affection for Isabel had diminished a lot.
Grandpa took a sip of his wine, chuckled, and said, "That's what happened! If you want to blame Xiaolong, you can only blame him for being so good. What little girl would rush after him after seeing him?"
"Grandpa, what are you talking about!" Ma Xiaofeng rolled her eyes: "It doesn't matter that my brother is single, but he already has my sister-in-law, so Isabel still pounces on me and doesn't take my sister-in-law seriously at all. This kind of
You still want to be my sister-in-law? Bah!"
Ma Xiaofeng took Zhu Sha's hand and said, "I've only had one sister-in-law in my whole life. I wouldn't recognize anyone else."
Chen Jun: "..."
Zhusha smiled as brightly as a flower, holding Ma Xiaofeng's hand: Good sister, my sister-in-law will love you even more in the future.
"I also think Xiaosha is pretty good." Liu Ying said, "Don't forget, when Grandma Xiaolong was in trouble, Xiaosha cried with her. Our daughter-in-law can only be Xiaosha."
Zhu Sha was deeply moved and had tears in her eyes.
Chen Jun silently peeled a braised prawn and put it in Ma Xiaolong's bowl.
Ma Xiaolong smiled and said: "Thank you Xiaojun, don't worry about me, you can eat it yourself."
Chen Jun smiled innocently: "Yeah."
"..."
After chatting about home affairs, Ma Xiaolong and Ma Qiangsheng talked about the agricultural and animal husbandry base.
At present, the agricultural and animal husbandry base has collected a wave of grain and fruits. The weather in North China has been good this year, and the output is very high. The chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, donkeys, etc. currently raised are all fat and strong.
After the base is built, almost every household in the entire village has someone working at the base. Because most of them are relatives, it is a bit difficult to manage. It will seem impersonal if you follow the rules. But if you manage according to human feelings, various problems will arise.
The problem is that even though Ma Qiangsheng has hired some professional managers to take charge of management work at the base, the conflict of ideas has led to constant minor conflicts in the base every day, giving Ma Qiangsheng a headache.
"It's easy to talk about." Ma Xiaolong said: "Dad, I will go to your place next Sunday to give lectures to the employees in the base. I guarantee that they will follow the rules and work hard in the future."
"???"
…
Ma Xiaofeng returned to the capital after the Mid-Autumn Festival, while her grandfather and grandmother stayed at home for half a month. After having dinner and parties with neighbors and old friends, they replenished this year's tobacco and took Lulu on the journey.
The house became deserted again.
Sunday, October 18th.
Ma Xiaolong arrived at the agricultural and animal husbandry base early in the morning. In a huge square, all the people working in the base were sitting here with benches, waiting for Ma Xiaolong to give them a 'class'.
Ma Xiaolong met with the managers here in advance and talked about the work management issues in the past few months. After listening to their complaints, he probably understood.
After all, rural areas are a place that values tradition and human relations, and the regular management of big cities is incompatible here, which is the reason for various conflicts.
After all, these 'elders' in the village thought that they were Ma Qiangsheng's relatives and would definitely not be fired, so they dared to give up their jobs when things didn't go their way and deliberately went against the manager. And Ma Qiangsheng was too heavy-handed.
I don't want to expel these prickly people because of this trivial matter, otherwise it will be difficult to see each other in the village in the future.
After understanding the situation, Ma Xiaolong told everyone present some tips on farming and raising pigs on the high platform built in the square. Because it was full of useful information, everyone in the audience who was still careless at first listened carefully without realizing it.
They felt that they were much smarter, and their inner gratitude and loyalty to Ma Xiaolong reached its peak.
At the end of the one-hour lecture, Ma Xiaolong said one last thing: "Work hard for my dad from now on, listen to the manager's arrangements, and don't act unscrupulously just because you are a relative, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!"
The people in the audience panicked. They subconsciously did not want to make Ma Xiaolong angry. They were willing to faithfully carry out his orders.
"Okay." After the lecture, Ma Xiaolong said to Ma Qiangsheng: "Dad, they will definitely not dare to mess around in the future. If there are any problems again, just call me and I will come over and explain to them."
"..."
After an hour of lectures, he became obedient? Why didn’t Ma Qiangsheng believe it?
With full of suspicion, Ma Qiangsheng spent the whole day observing these disobedient poor relatives. What surprised him was that these people were actually very obedient and worked hard. They never violated the orders given by the manager.
On the contrary, it was implemented very strictly, and the work efficiency was more than doubled compared to the past.
It’s so evil!
I went home at noon and told Liu Ying. Liu Ying smiled and said, "What's so weird about this? It's not like you don't know our son's abilities. After so many years, has anything he promised to do wrong ever happened?"
Ma Qiangsheng nodded: "Nothing went wrong, but this time it was too outrageous. He stood on the stage and talked about some tips on farming and raising pigs. Finally, he asked those in the audience to work hard and listen to the managers.
, they are really obedient, this is not right no matter how you think about it.”
"That's not right." Liu Ying felt incredible after hearing this.
"You say...does our son have special powers?" Ma Qiangsheng whispered: "He was giving a lecture on the stage and he developed Qigong by the way?"
"..." Liu Ying also felt that this matter seemed to be somewhat credible.
There are many masters in this era, such as Xiao Hongzi, who is a master who is even more awesome than Sakyamuni. It seems that these two years will create all kinds of problems, which will affect the next twenty years.
several years.
"Tell me, if our son really has special powers, can he make us younger?" Liu Ying asked.
Rather than making money, Liu Ying is more concerned about whether she, a middle-aged woman, can rejuvenate herself.
"Then you have to ask your son." Ma Qiangsheng felt that this question was unreliable. If he could really rejuvenate his youth, then his son would become Christ Jesus directly from now on, and why would he still follow such stupid practices?
"Definitely not." Liu Ying sighed and said, "But my son gave me moisturizer. I have been applying it for half a month, and my skin feels more and more tender. You can touch it."
"..."
…
Time came to November, the first midterm exam after high school, and Ma Xiaolong lost points.
It was lost on the reading comprehension question. After all, whether this kind of score is lost depends more on the subjective wishes of the scoring teacher. Ma Xiaolong's answer to a comprehension question made the scoring teacher not satisfied, so he deducted two points. That's it, Ma Xiaolong
Starting from elementary school, the record of getting perfect marks in every exam has been broken.
When Zhu Sha and Dai Yu heard the news, one can imagine their inner shock.
After the two met him, they said in unison: "You will also lose points?"
"..."
What do you mean? I can’t lose points?
Ma Xiaolong said helplessly: "There is no way, I am not 100% sure about my reading comprehension. This time the marking teacher does not agree with my idea, so I will lose my points!"
Zhusha chuckled lightly and said: "Okay! Just throw it away. It won't affect your ranking as the first in your grade anyway."
Although Ma Xiaolong lost two points, Dai Yu, who was second in grade, lost more than twenty points.
The level of knowledge difficulty in high school is completely different from that in junior high school. Moreover, there are no liberal arts and science classes in the first year of high school. There are many exam items. Even if Dai Yu added 2 extra points of intelligence, it is impossible not to lose points when facing multiple subject exams.
.
Zhu Sha lost more than 50 points this time, but her overall score was actually ranked third in grade. It can be seen that there is an obvious score gap between the first grade, the second grade, and the third grade.
What makes countless students even more crazy is that these three people are actually day students. Even without the time for evening self-study, they still occupy the top three in the grade. How can this make the boarding students feel embarrassed?
Dai Yu smiled and said, "Actually, I'm quite happy."
"Sister Lin, your mentality is very unhealthy!" Ma Xiaolong was very hurt: "You are actually happy when I lose points. I'm so sad."
Dai Yu pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Because I know you are not a god, and you, like us, are not perfect."
Zhusha nodded: "Sister Lin is right. Although my husband was perfect in the past, it put too much pressure on us. Now that you have lost these two points, it makes us less stressed."
"...Okay!" can relieve their psychological pressure, and the two points are worth losing.
Besides, these two points did not affect the value of skill points and attribute points he got, and because of the increase in exam subjects, he got more skill points.
Nine exams, 18 skill points, plus 2 attribute points, so nice.
After the mid-term exam, life has not changed at all. Every day is still a front-line life between school and home. Every afternoon after school, I tutor Zhu Sha and Chen Jun for an hour as usual to consolidate and strengthen their academic ability.
In this mid-term exam for the first grade of junior high school, Chen Jun passed the fifth grade, which was more than a hundred places higher than his ranking when he was promoted from elementary school to junior high school. He was highly praised by the teacher.
If Chen Jun's IQ is an ordinary 100 points, then after adding 2 points of intelligence, his IQ will almost reach 120 points. This is already in the category of a little genius, plus he can increase his learning efficiency by 500% every night
After one hour of tutoring, it was completely expected to get such a score.
But Chen Jun and Zhang Zhiling didn't know that they completely attributed this to Ma Xiaolong's guidance. Zhang Zhiling was better to her godson, who was really closer than her biological son. Chen Jun had no change. She was grateful and loyal to Ma Xiaolong.
It has reached the maximum value and cannot go up or down.
On December 3, Dai Yu celebrated her 16th birthday. Starting today, she has also entered the age of a young girl.
Today is Thursday, there is not enough time at noon, so this birthday is celebrated in the evening. Unfortunately, Dai Yu's parents have to attend evening self-study today, so the only people celebrating her birthday are Ma Xiaolong and Zhu Sha.
Even so, because Ma Xiaolong cooked it himself and made a beautiful three-layer birthday cake by himself last night, Dai Yu was very happy.
The three young people were eating, drinking, talking and laughing, feeling very satisfied.
"Sister Lin, this is the birthday gift I prepared for you." Ma Xiaolong took out the birthday gift he had prepared, which was a simple colorful woven bracelet.
"It's so beautiful!" Dai Yu's eyes shone, and he put it on his wrist. He looked at it happily and said, "Xiaolong, thank you for your gift. I like it very much."
"As long as you like it." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "I added ice silk to this bracelet. It is very breathable. The more you wear it, the more comfortable it becomes. You can wear it all the time except for bathing and sleeping."
"Yes." Dai Yu nodded with a smile: "I will."
"My gift is simple." Zhu Sha took out a packaging box and said with a smile: "I'll open it when you are alone. I'm sure there will be a surprise."
"..."
After the birthday was over and Ma Xiaolong and Zhu Sha left, Dai Yu opened the gift box and saw a strange thing inside.
It's pink, oval, has a remote control, and it can move.
"..."
Dai Yu couldn't understand it at all. Fortunately, there was an instruction manual, but after reading the instruction manual, Dai Yu's whole face burned.
Dangdangdang——
The knock on the door startled her.
"Xiao Yu, open the door."
It's dad who's back.
Dai Yu blushed and put the stuff under the pillow and went to open the door.
That night, Dai Yu tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Finally, he took out the thing from under the pillow and tried it...

After sleeping all day, I took three pills of ibuprofen and revived with full blood. I will start with a 4,000-word chapter, and there will be an update in the early morning.
