"Mom, you look so happy. What good thing happened to you?"
Seeing that Zhang Chiling was full of joy when she returned home, Ma Xiaolong asked with a smile.
"Did you see it?" Zhang Zhiling took off her coat, revealing the white turtleneck sweater underneath. The slim design showed off her figure.
"There is a smile in his eyes!" Ma Xiaolong said.
Zhang Chiling laughed and said: "Someone from the provincial TV station came today and gave Mom an exclusive interview."
"Yo!?" Hearing this, the three little ones were a little surprised.
Ma Xiaolong asked: "What kind of interview are you doing?"
"Not long ago, two children raised by my mother participated in the provincial children's singing competition, and both won first prize. Although the scope of influence is limited, because they are from the same place, the provincial TV station thought it was newsworthy, so they came over to interview them. It seemed
We want to make a special program." Zhang Chiling said with a smile.
"What a good thing!" Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "This program is about to be broadcast, and there will definitely be a lot of parents rushing to send their children over for you to train. Mom, you can consider raising tuition fees in the future."
Zhang Chiling said with a smile: "It's early! However, there are many more local parents who want to send their children to study here than before, and the current classrooms are a bit insufficient."
"That's easy to say." Ma Xiaolong said: "Open a branch, but put the main campus in my R&D base! There happened to be a five-story teaching building built, but it hasn't been decorated yet. I'll find someone to design a decoration plan after the spring.
, use all five floors.”
"That's great, but can we recruit children there?"
Zhang Zhiling's concerns are justified. Although the base is being vigorously developed and constructed, it is located in a development zone, far away from the urban area. The surrounding population is basically farmers who are thinking about how to eat. How many such families will consider letting themselves
Are children enrolling in classes to learn music?
"Don't worry, we will definitely be able to recruit them." Ma Xiaolong said: "You also know that the wages I pay to my employees are very high. Now that these people are rich, they must spend money to train the next generation. Now, in addition to that teaching building, there are
Kindergartens and elementary schools are also under construction. In the future, employees’ children will go to school there. After studying, they can enroll in classes to learn music, art, etc. to cultivate their sentiments, creating a virtuous circle.”
Zhu Sha smiled and said: "Xiaolong has made a fifty-year plan for the base. If he says there is no problem, then there will definitely be no problem. Don't worry."
"Yeah." Zhang Chiling nodded and said, "We'll talk about it after the new year. But if I go there, I won't be able to come back in time to cook for you at noon."
"Then don't worry about it. Are you worried that you won't be able to eat while I'm here?" Ma Xiaolong said.
"Yeah." Chen Jun nodded repeatedly: "Brother cooks delicious food."
"It's also delicious, but not as delicious as my brother's."
"..."
Zhang Chiling said angrily: "Your brother's cooking is delicious. Come with your brother in the future! Don't follow me."
"Look what you said." Ma Xiaolong stepped forward and held her arm, smiling: "We are all a family, aren't we the same as you and me?"
"You are the only one who speaks nicely."
Laughing and making noise, eating simple roasted sweet potatoes, roasted steamed bun slices, vinegar cabbage, steamed pork with rice flour, tomato scrambled eggs, and pot-wrapped pork, we just ushered in the New Year's Day holiday of 1999 in such a simple way.
A heavy snowfall buried countless sins. When I woke up the next day, the world had turned into a vast expanse of white, as beautiful as a fairy tale.
However, the amount of snowfall this time was so heavy that some houses with poor quality were directly collapsed by the snow. Ma Xiaolong was not worried about the quality of his house, but after dawn, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw more than 20 centimeters of snow.
.
This should be the biggest snowfall he has experienced since his rebirth. Fortunately, steps were added to raise the house when it was first built, so the door would not be blocked.
"It's such a heavy snow!" The three women who had already gotten up opened the door and sighed when they saw the snow in the yard and on the roof.
Ma Xiaolong picked up a broom and said with a smile: "Don't sigh, let's clean up and sweep away the snow."
"Uh-huh."
The three women tidied up and started sweeping the snow in the yard, while Ma Xiaolong climbed to the roof and stepped on the tiles to sweep away the snow.
He has the ability to lighten his body, which ensures that he won't step on the tiles, and he doesn't have to worry about slipping and falling off the roof. The roof of his house is more than five meters high, and falling down is no joke.
"Xiaolong, be careful." Zhang Chiling was already clearing the snow, looking at the roof worriedly, and kept telling her.
"Don't worry! It's okay."
After working hard for half an hour, the snow on the roof was finally cleared away, and Zhang Chiling was relieved when she climbed down the stairs.
At the moment, Zhusha and Chen Jun are building a snowman. There is enough snow, and Zhusha plans to make a big one. Look at the snowman's body, it is at least two meters high.
"What do you want to do?" Ma Xiaolong asked: "Doraemon?"
"I'm just piling up the snow. What you do is up to you." Zhusha squinted and smiled: "When it's done, let's take a group photo together."
"Okay." Ma Xiaolong smiled and said, "I'm the best at this."
After leaving the task of piling snow to Zhu Sha and Chen Jun, Ma Xiaolong went to the kitchen to make a pot of polenta, cut some sweet potato cubes and boiled them, then steamed the remaining food from yesterday, and everything was done.
For some reason, Ma Xiaolong felt that it would taste better if the leftovers were folded together in a basket and heated together.
Are there any little friends who feel the same way? Please raise your hands.
Because the snow was so heavy and for safety reasons, Zhang Chiling called teachers and parents from all over the study room to tell them that the school was temporarily on holiday and the resumption of school would be notified later.
When she came down from upstairs after making the phone call, she saw three children shouting and screaming in the yard. She didn't know what they were doing.
After pushing the door open and going out, he saw that the pile of snow had been made into three snowmen by Ma Xiaolong. These three snowmen were none other than Zhu Sha, Chen Jun, and her.
Zhang Chiling looked at her snowman with some surprise. Although it was not completely completed, she could tell at a glance that it was her. The figure, height, and hairstyle were basically her 1:1 model.
"Xiaolong, what did you do to me?" Zhang Chiling came over and asked.
"Yes!" Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "It's rare to have so much snow. It would be bad if we didn't use it. I'll make the three of you into snowmen and take a group photo together."
Zhang Chiling watched Ma Xiaolong carve himself more and more beautifully, and couldn't help but admire: "It's really well done."
"Yeah." Chen Jun nodded repeatedly: "My brother knows everything, he is the most powerful."
Ma Xiaolong chuckled and said, "Just so so."
"Third in the world." Zhusha narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"My wife understands me."
"..."
The snowman was ready and almost lifelike. The three girls couldn't wait to take photos with their snowmen. This kind of opportunity is not something that everyone can have in their lives. If you have the opportunity, you should seize it.
After taking the photos, Ma Xiaolong transferred the photos to his computer, then printed them out directly with a printer and framed them, which the three girls couldn't put down.
For three days in a row, the four of them simply stayed at home for three days because of the inconvenient transportation caused by the snow. However, these three days were full of fun.
Zhusha is honing her acting skills, performing small shows from time to time, and her gradually improving acting skills have attracted a lot of applause from everyone.
Chen Jun sings, dances, and practices everything. After a few months, he has made great progress.
Zhang Chiling just watched their performance happily. Because of her talent, Chen Jun has surpassed her in all aspects. She sees her daughter getting better and better day by day. In recent months, she has learned that the sales of the second album have bucked the trend and have been praised by domestic audiences.
The big names in the outside music industry cited it as a classic, and she was even more happy. She felt that her daughter had already come into her own, and she could rest assured.
As for Ma Xiaolong, he is just a tool man. He has three meals a day, performs with the two girls, sings, dances and puts on airs, it's all his.
What's annoying is that he, a tool man, crushed the two girls throughout the whole process, making the two girls realize that they still have a lot of room for learning and improvement.
This is how the happy New Year's Day holiday ends.
January 4th, Monday, the first day of school.
Li Xin was still studying hard and did not come to school. Zhu Sha and Dai Yu met for the first time in three days and chatted happily for more than ten minutes. They ended the topic with unfinished content until the morning self-study began.
After a smooth January without holidays, the final exam came.
What's interesting is that before the exam, Li Xin came back.
"Master, I haven't seen you for a few days. I'm glad that my master's style remains the same."
"..."
When I saw him again, he seemed to be a little fairer and younger, his hair had grown longer and his eyelashes were fluttering. Although he had a male-female appearance, he actually looked three points cuter than a girl.
Ma Xiaolong was stunned and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Let's take the exam!" Speaking of this, Li Xin's face turned bitter: "Although I have been studying hard during this period, I feel that I am currently at the level of a first grade junior high school student, and I don't know what I can do in the exam?"
"..."
First grade of junior high school... I hope you can express it.
"But I will work hard." Li Xin said firmly: "Master, I will definitely achieve a passing grade in all subjects as soon as possible. Then you must teach me peerless martial arts!"
"...Let's talk about it when you pass!"
If a scumbag like Li Xin could improve his studies, then there shouldn't be any problem with practicing martial arts, a sport that only requires perseverance.
"I will treat it as master and agree." Li Xin became more motivated, and then took out two covered cardboard books from his schoolbag and silently stuffed them into Ma Xiaolong's desk.
"???" Ma Xiaolong looked at him.
"Shh!" Li Xin made a silent gesture and said in a low voice: "Master, this is my apprentice's filial piety to you. It will be very enjoyable to watch it alone after you go back."
"..."
Ma Xiaolong frowned: Bastard! What do you think of me? Am I that kind of person?
He stuffed the book into his bag and said calmly: "I won't do this again."
Li Xin smiled brightly: "I understand, I understand."
The exam ended in the morning, and when he got home at noon, after lunch, Ma Xiaolong walked into the study alone, took out the two books from his schoolbag, and after opening them, he thought, yes, they deserve criticism.
With the ability to focus on six tasks, Ma Xiaolong certainly would not be caught in action. When Zhu Sha walked in, he had already stuffed the two books into the bookshelf and was surfing the Internet on his computer.
"What are you looking at?" Zhu Sha came over and sat on his lap.
Ma Xiaolong hugged her waist and said with a smile: "Why don't you take a break for domestic and foreign news?"
"There's not enough time. It's better not to rest at all." Zhusha huddled in his arms and smelled his scent. The fragrance of nature made her feel relaxed and happy.
"Winter vacation is about to begin. Is there anything you want to play?" Ma Xiaolong asked with a smile.
"What about you?" Cinnabar asked.
"I don't have anything to play with, but electric cars have begun to be sold. I have to go to the development zone to have a look." Ma Xiaolong said.
"Then I'll go with you." Zhu Sha said, "Then we'll stay in the villa for a few days!"
"Oh?" Ma Xiaolong looked at her and said, "Of course it's no problem, but why do you want to live in a villa?"
"I can't relax at home." Zhusha blushed slightly: "I haven't had a good time to relax in the past few months."
Ah!? This...
"It's my husband's fault." Ma Xiaolong played with her slightly rough fingers and said, "When we get to the villa, my husband will definitely feed my wife well."
Zhusha's face was reddish, she hooked her arms around his neck, pulled him down, and enjoyed a lot of food and drink.
…
The three-day final exam is over and the school begins its winter vacation. However, going to school four days later to check the results is not as convenient as it would be twenty years later. At that time, parents would join the class WeChat group on the day they sent their children to school. What's the matter?
The class teacher will announce the news through the WeChat group, including academic scores, so there is no need for students to go back to school to check their scores. The teacher will directly post it in the group.
But at that time, the pressure on parents was great. Unlike in this era, except for holding parent-teacher meetings and paying tuition and fees, parents did not care about anything. Teachers were the ones who really managed students.
But since when did teachers begin to shirk their responsibilities and shift some of the educational responsibilities to parents? This has made a group of young parents miserable. They don’t count on going to work, but they have to take care of their children’s education when they come back from work. It’s really frustrating for parents.
Rhythm.
In the future, young people will not want to get married or have children, and the burden of school education will definitely account for part of their responsibilities.
Before the holiday, Li Xin carefully stuffed the two CDs into his schoolbag and said with a smile: "Master, I didn't do well in the exam this time. You won't blame me, right?"
"..." Ma Xiaolong looked at the two CDs with their packages torn off and said, "I don't care how many points you get in the test. It's better that you never pass, so I can feel relaxed."
"That's impossible!" Li Xin gritted his teeth: "This winter vacation, if you look at my head and buttocks, I will definitely pass all subjects by the time I am in my second year of high school, so Master, you will have no excuse to reject me."
Ma Xiaolong glanced at him: "We are divided into classes in the second year of high school. You can learn a few less subjects."
"Yes!" Li Xin's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Master, do you choose liberal arts or science?"
"Probably liberal arts!"
"Liberal arts? Yeah, okay." Li Xinle was confused. He liked liberal arts the most.
