In Majiazhuang, the old house where Ma Qiangsheng lived has been replaced by a two-story villa.
The appearance of the villa is of medieval style, somewhat like a courtyard house. The building dimensions are 11 meters wide and 12.5 meters deep. The total construction area is just over 251 square meters, with 152 square meters on the first floor and 99 square meters on the second floor.
The first floor has a front courtyard, garden, leisure platform, garage, TV room, tea room, kitchen, dining room, bedroom, public bathroom, and stairs. The second floor has four bedrooms, public bathroom, sun room, terrace, and stairs.
The overall style is modern and simple, the lines are very simple and clear, and the shape is simple and low-key, giving people a particularly relaxed, natural and down-to-earth feeling; the first-floor building is elevated, and the exterior walls are pasted with simple gray stone bricks, making the house more
There is a sense of hierarchy.
The small courtyard has everything you need, including a practical garage, an outdoor platform for relaxation, a space for playing, and a garden for viewing; a raised platform is designed from the courtyard to the entrance, which is more conducive to zoning, and the entrance is through stairs and porches.
It also seems more ritualistic.
The construction plan of this villa was provided by Ma Xiaolong. It was originally designed with five bedrooms, just to have enough resting space when the family gets together.
Ma Qiangsheng and Liu Ying live in the only bedroom on the first floor. Grandpa and grandma occupy one room on the second floor, Ma Xiaolong and Zhusha have one room, Ma Xiaofeng and their future son-in-law have one room, and Zhang Chiling and Chen Jun have one room. Five bedrooms are just right.
.
However, since the villa was built, the whole family has not been reunited here once, because the old neighbors are all in Gulou Street, and they will reunite in Gulou Street every Chinese New Year. On the second day of the new year, Ma Xiaolong and Zhu Sha will go to Shuangshi Village, but there is nothing they can do.
Reunion will be even more impossible later on, but today it was a relatively unified one.
Except for grandpa, grandma and Ma Xiaofeng, everyone who could come was here, and there were even two more people, Dai Yu and Li Xin.
"Master, Master, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much. I see you are here, disciple!"
And it was Li Xin who said a lot of nice things with his sweet mouth as soon as he met someone, which made both Ma Qiangsheng and Liu Ying laugh.
"You just come here empty-handed?" Liu Ying joked.
"No way! Look, Master, what is this?" Li Xin made heart-warming gestures with both hands.
Liu Ying was stunned for a moment, did this gesture look familiar?
"Hey, this is my disciple's love for his master and master!" Li Xinying said with a smile.
"Pfft~" Liu Ying was so amused that she giggled: "Okay, you have your heart."
Ma Qiangsheng couldn't help but laugh. He, his disciple... was very good, and he was very lively wherever he went.
"Uncle, aunt."
"Xiaoyu is here too!" Liu Ying happily took Dai Yu's hand and said with emotion: "Our Xiaoyu is getting more and more beautiful. I don't know which young man is lucky enough to marry you."
Dai Yu blushed slightly, glanced at Ma Xiaolong secretly, and said, "I'm still young, so I won't consider emotional matters for the time being."
"I'm not young anymore. I'm already nineteen after the new year. I can get married in two years." Liu Ying said.
"Okay, why are you telling the children this?" Ma Qiangsheng said: "Take the children upstairs to choose a room. It's cold, so make the bedding in advance."
"My mother will come over later and put two quilts in Xiaojun's room." Ma Xiaolong said.
"I know! Come upstairs with me!"
Liu Ying took several teenagers to choose rooms on the second floor. There were four bedrooms, one for Ma Xiaolong and Zhu Sha, one for Chen Jun and Zhang Chiling, and one for Dai Yu and Li Xin.
Compared with the huge number of bedrooms, there are too few bathrooms on the second floor. There is only one bathroom. Fortunately, the bathtub is large enough so that two people can take a bath in it at one time without any problem.
After choosing the bedroom, Ma Xiaolong walked to the terrace and took a look at the direction of the agricultural and animal husbandry base. Although it was getting dark, the lights in the agricultural and animal husbandry base were still bright.
If it were other seasons, there would be a lot of children running around in the square at this time, as well as grandparents and aunties walking. But now the weather is too cold, and there are almost no people in the square. They are all sleeping at home!
"Brother." Chen Jun walked over and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Just take a look." Ma Xiaolong smiled slightly, took a deep breath, and said, "The air in the village is better, the air in the city is polluted."
"Yeah." Chen Jun stood beside him. At 1.62 meters tall, she could only reach his 1.88 meter tall shoulders, but it felt good to be a little bird cuddling up to him.
"I think the tap water now is not as delicious as before." Chen Jun said: "Is it also contaminated?"
"It must be polluted." Ma Xiaolong said: "This is the only way to vigorously develop industry. There is no other way."
In fact, there is a way, and the technology has been handed over. The people above are conducting pilot verifications based on the technology to improve the environment in heavy industry-polluted cities and deserts such as the Gobi.
Because the design directions of these technologies are very broad, including improving air, improving geology, improving water quality, improving soil erosion, quickly purifying contaminated soil, water quality, etc., so in order to get data feedback, we must first make the corresponding tools.
come out.
Many tools are actually cyclical and need to be combined and arranged, so the preliminary work will be more complicated. However, as long as the experiment is carried out, experimental data to improve the environment will be obtained very quickly, and the results will basically be seen in about half a year.
As long as the higher-ups know that this technology really works, they can promote it nationwide, and at the same time, they can sell related equipment to developing countries abroad to earn a lot of money or resources.
Ma Xiaolong knows how morbid the environmental requirements will be in the future. With the technologies he provides, China can avoid continuous industrial pollution at least ten years in advance, and this ecosystem can transform China from an industrial environment in just ten years.
An industrial polluting country has become the most livable country for mankind.
I look forward to this day coming soon, at least during the 2008 Olympic Games. As the commentator said at the opening ceremony, the birds have come back because this is the greenest and most livable home.
Ma Xiaolong also hopes that in a few years, he can drink sweet well water again.
Speaking of which, the well water he stored has not been consumed much over the years, because it is only used when cooking. After saving, he still has 1,600 tons!
The rice he cooks is delicious, and it actually has the added effect of well water. Whether it is cooking porridge or soup, or mixing it with noodles and steaming rice, it always has a hint of sweetness and is delicious no matter what.
But no matter how much he stores, there will be a day when it will be used up. If the underground water quality can become good again in the future, he can drink sweet well water again. If this day comes early, it will be the best.
"It's cold outside, go indoors!" Ma Xiaolong said.
It will be September soon, and this winter seems to be extremely cold. As a result, Chen Jun's face turned pale from the cold after standing here for only a short while.
"Yeah." Actually, Chen Jun didn't want to go into the house. The opportunity to be alone with Ma Xiaolong like this was too rare. Even if it was -40 or 50 degrees below zero, she would still be willing to stay outside with him for a while.
Unfortunately, Ma Xiaolong couldn't bear to keep her cold and pushed her back to the house.
After the bedding in several bedrooms was laid, several people went downstairs to prepare for dinner.
Although Ma Xiaolong is here, Ma Johnson and Liu Ying will not let him cook here. When he went upstairs just now, Ma Johnson was busy in the kitchen. It was rare for several children to come together, so he wanted to make a rich meal.
There are enough ingredients at home, so even if the children come in a hurry, they can easily put together a table.
“Woof woof woof (I’m hungry, when will dinner be served?)——”
The barking of the native dog who was guarding the house could be heard in the yard.
This is a black native dog. Its size is close to that of a large dog, but it has a very docile temperament and is very close to people. It is also a good guard at homes and homes. If it encounters strangers who come in, it will bite them to death.
Of course, he was trained by Ma Xiaolong.
This native dog was brought from a relative's house at the beginning of the year. It was still a little puppy at the time. Because it was all black and didn't have a single hair, it was named Dahei.
When Ma Xiaolong came here for the first time, Dahei was already half a grown-up native dog. His first reaction after seeing him was to stick out his tongue, wag his tail, sniff around his feet, and then say: "Woof woof."
(It smells so good! I wish you were my master)."
The little guy successfully widened the road.
After that, Ma Xiaolong gave it a simple training, and every time he came over, he would train it. It was said to be training, but actually it was talking to it, telling it what to do when it met an acquaintance, and what to do when it encountered a stranger who suddenly broke in.
What should we do?
Under his training, Xiao Hei became more and more intelligent, and became more and more adept at taking care of the home. It directly regarded the courtyard as its own territory. Familiar people could come in, but strangers who came in must die.
Of course, if an acquaintance comes in and plots evil, he will do it without any discussion.
Because there is a surveillance camera in the house, we can definitely know why Dahei bites people. Fortunately, Ma Qiangsheng’s status in Majiazhuang is too high, and no one dares to come here to plot evil, so Dahei now has no chance to use his ability to bite people to death.
Human ability.
Very sorry.
"Dahei is hungry." Liu Ying heard Dahei's cry, went to the kitchen to get some leftovers, poured some milk powder, mixed it with water, and went to feed Dahei.
The local dogs in the countryside are not that expensive. Dahei has never eaten dog food so far. He basically eats whatever is left by his owner. He is also raised to have a very strong skin and is free from illness and disaster. He is much better than the expensive pet dogs in the city.
.
Ma Xiaolong had nothing to do at the moment, so he went to the yard to communicate with Dahei.
"How have you been lately?"
"Woof woof..."
"You're not free when you're tied up? Haha~ You deserve it. Who told you to run into the house all the time? Even if you run into the house, you'll make a mess everywhere and bite things randomly. If you don't tie it up, who will you tie it up?"
"Woo~"
"Don't pretend to be pitiful, and remember not to run into the house in the future. Even if you go in, don't leave dog hair everywhere, and don't chew on things, otherwise you will be chained in the yard for the rest of your life!"
"Woo~"
"Okay, let me unchain you first. You dirty thing, just stay in your kennel and don't go into the house. Is it cold in the kennel?"
"Woof woof..."
"Really? Let me take a look." Hearing Dahei say that the kennel was leaking a bit, Ma Xiaolong went to the kennel and took a look. Sure enough, there was a break in the plastic sheet covering it, and the cold wind blew into the wooden board through the break.
kennel.
"Don't worry, I'll fix it for you."
"Hmm~"
On the steps, Li Xin looked at him with bright eyes: "Master, can you still speak animal language!?"
"..." Ma Xiaolong said helplessly: "No."
"Impossible!" Li Xin believed his eyes even more: "I saw it just now. You told Dahei that he has a nose and eyes. Master, you can definitely speak animal language."
"This is observation." Ma Xiaolong responded casually: "By observing the emotional changes of animals, you can probably guess what they mean. The other thing is training. I trained Dahei when he was a child, so that he can communicate simply through words.
"
"Really?" Li Xin was stunned and didn't want to believe this answer, but it seemed that the answer was very reasonable and he was a little confused for a moment.
Ma Xiaolong didn't care whether she was confused or not. He went to the house and asked Liu Ying for a new plastic sheet and a somewhat old cotton coat. He directly wrapped Dahei in the doghouse so that Dahei could be warmer when he slept.
Several girls came out to watch Ma Xiaolong repair the kennel, and by the way, they played with the handsome and powerful Dahei. This Dahei was a male dog. They met several beautiful ladies, who licked their hands desperately and even their tails were wet.
It's almost a phantom.
What a licking dog.
After a while, the kennel was wrapped. Ma Xiaolong tested it and found that it was absolutely airtight.
The door of the kennel is also covered with cotton-padded clothes. After Dahei gets in, the cotton-padded clothes will block the cold wind at the door, thus ensuring that Dahei is warm and comfortable when sleeping.
Dahei was very satisfied with his new nest. After getting out, he started rubbing it on Ma Xiaolong's trouser legs.
He smiled and patted the dog's head, and warned: "Remember to stay in the yard from now on, and you are not allowed to bite anything even if you enter the house, you know?"
"Woof woof——"
"good."
Zhusha chuckled and said: "Every time I see my husband talking to animals, I always feel that animals can really understand human speech. How did you do that?"
Seeing Li Xin's eyes shining again, Ma Xiaolong said calmly: "Maybe I am naturally attracted to animals! In addition, I am very observant and can easily guess what animals are thinking, so I give people a good impression."
Create the illusion that I can talk to animals."
"That's pretty awesome." Zhu Sha smiled and said, "My husband must be a good person as an animal trainer."
"I think so too." Ma Xiaolong smiled.
"..." The light in Li Xin's eyes dimmed. She thought she could learn another special skill from her master, but she didn't expect that the special skill was real, but it wasn't very suitable for her.
She just doesn't have this ability of observation. She knows how to make things happen, but it's the worldly sophistication that has been nurtured by her family since she was a child. But if it were Conan's reasoning to solve the case, she would be numb.
"Alas!" Life is often unsatisfactory. Master's skills are definitely more than this. In the future, if you think of new tricks to serve Master more comfortably, you can always learn more skills.
When Li Xin was thinking about good things, Zhang Chiling drove over in an electric car.
"Zhiling, I haven't seen her for a while, she is getting more and more beautiful." When Liu Ying saw her little sister coming, she immediately went out to greet her. Seeing that Zhang Chiling's dress and temperament were becoming more and more outstanding, she couldn't help but praise her repeatedly.
Zhang Chiling smiled like a flower and said, "Sister Ying is the one! Look at your rosy face, your life must be going very smoothly."
"It's okay." While they were joking, the two of them entered the house with several children.
The Majiazhuang villa is very lively today.
