Chapter 50 Embarrassment

Late at night, looking at Zhu Sha who fell into a deep sleep due to excessive exhaustion, a trace of guilt flashed in Ma Xiaolong's eyes.

I was too excited and went overboard.

It looks like Cinnabar is going to stay in bed all day.

Not in the mood to work tonight, Ma Xiaolong hugged Cinnabar and lay down all night.

At dawn, I got up and prepared breakfast. Considering Zhu Sha's physical condition, breakfast mainly focused on replenishing qi and blood.

"In order to save Li Lang from his home, who would have expected that he would win the first prize on the imperial list..."

Chen Jun has already gotten up to practice, and the Huangmei Opera song is getting more and more interesting.

Ma Xiaolong carried the rice bowl to the bedroom on the second floor, placed it on the bedside table, and gently shook Zhu Sha's fragrant shoulder: "Daughter-in-law, wife, get up and eat."

Zhu Sha was really too tired. She frowned and opened her eyes with difficulty. She stared blankly and said, "Honey, I'm so sleepy. Let me sleep a little longer."

"Daughter-in-law, you eat something first before going to sleep." Ma Xiaolong helped her sit up, put the pillow up behind her and said, "Just lie down and I'll feed you."

"Oh, ah~~Hmm~"

Cinnabar finished her breakfast in a daze, then lay down and fell asleep again.

After eating something, I feel much better.

Ma Xiaolong breathed a sigh of relief, left the bedroom with the bowls and chopsticks in hand, and closed the door.

Anyway, grandpa and the others won’t be back until tomorrow, so let her have a good rest today!

After Chen Jun finished practicing his morning exercises, Ma Xiaolong opened the door and said, "Xiaojun, ask mom to come over for breakfast."

"I know!" Chen Jun smiled naively, and soon called Zhang Chiling over for breakfast.

"Where is Xiaosha?" Zhang Chiling asked.

"She's still asleep!" Ma Xiaolong said: "She slept too late yesterday, let her sleep in!"

Ma Xiaolong just said it casually, but Zhang Chiling must have thought wrongly. She blushed slightly and said, "Young people should exercise restraint."

"..." Ma Xiaolong coughed dryly: "I know, let's eat and eat."

Chen Jun: "???"

I didn't understand the slang at first, but after thinking about it for a while, I understood. My face turned red and I lowered my head to eat.

After breakfast, Zhang Zhiling went back to the opposite door to clean up the housework, while Chen Jun stayed and went to the study to practice musical instruments.

She had finished her winter vacation homework a few days ago. Now she has nothing to do. She plans to use this period of vacation to practice various basic skills related to music. Of course, she will also practice her acting skills. After all, she will be filming Sword and Fairy next summer.

The movie was about to start, and she didn’t want to hold back Ma Xiaolong.

Ma Xiaolong burned the heating stove vigorously and stewed a large pot of roast beef. Ma Xiaolong especially liked beef. He felt that eating beef would make him stronger. Moreover, the beef was cut into large pieces and stewed. After cooling, it can be stewed or sliced.

Wine tastes particularly good, and the meat you stew yourself is cleaner and hygienic. It is easy to store during this season and can be eaten at any time during the Chinese New Year.

The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and it’s time to buy new year’s goods at home. Today I have to take care of Cinnabar. When Ma Xiaofeng comes back tomorrow, I will go around the streets and buy all the new year’s goods that I need to buy.

Another thing is that he has received definite information. A demolition plan has been made here and the demolition will be carried out in 2002. However, the cost of demolition is really low these days. The compensation for demolition per household is only a little over one thousand yuan per square meter.

However, the housing prices in this small town are indeed unsaleable. Before the housing reform in 2015 and housing prices soared, the average price of residential buildings here was only over 4,000. But after that year, housing prices soared and soon exceeded

At RMB 8,000 per square meter, the price of the best floors will naturally exceed RMB 10,000, making it impossible for locals to afford a house.

Fortunately, the overall local prices have not increased much, which allows small town residents with an average salary of more than 2,000 yuan to maintain their lives.

According to Ma Xiaolong's understanding, after China joins the WTO, domestic housing prices will see a sharp rise, from just over a thousand yuan per square meter to around two thousand yuan. What was the average salary of small town residents at that time?

500 yuan.

In this life, because of Ma Xiaolong's intervention, the average employee at his scientific research base has been raised by 500 yuan several years in advance. In addition, the income has been getting better and better in the past few years, and now the monthly salary of ordinary workers in the scientific research base has been increased to

One thousand yuan, and how much do workers in other factories in the town earn per month at this time? Due to the wave of layoffs, it will definitely not exceed 400 yuan.

It can be seen from this that the workers in other factories in the town are jealous of the people who work in the scientific research base. Unfortunately, the employment opportunities that Ma Xiaolong can take care of are limited and he cannot take care of everyone. However, as the scientific research base develops more and more types of businesses,

More and more employees have been recruited in the past two years, and now the entire scientific research base has more than 10,000 employees, providing huge help to local employment.

Just like the match factory back in the day.

It's a pity that the current match factory is almost close to bankruptcy. Tears of the times!

After working for a while, Ma Xiaolong stretched himself, listened to the melodious piano sound coming from upstairs, smiled slightly, and continued working.

There is always endless work to do during the Chinese New Year. Young people only know how to play during the holidays. Only when you become a householder do you know how many trivial matters there are at home. The reason why many couples who obviously have no principled conflicts divorce after a few years of marriage is actually

It's all these trivial things.

If you don’t have a durable enough heart, over time, it’s really easy to be defeated by the trivial things in life. Just like stress, these things will suddenly burst out after accumulating to a certain level.

The degree of the outbreak can be mild or severe. If it is mild, it can be maintained, but if it is severe, it will collapse completely.

After his parents, grandpa and grandma left home, and Ma Xiaolong took charge of the family, he felt more and more how difficult it was to live alone. He had to worry about everything and there was always unfinished business. In other words, he had been single for forty years in his previous life.

With years of experience, I know how difficult it is for a wife and children to be on the kang, so I treat Cinnabar twice as well, and I don't have the irritable behavior of young people. I only care about myself and ignore the problems of others, so I can maintain this happy life.

Marriage is really a science. Only by experiencing it and thinking about it can you know how difficult it is to maintain a relatively happy marriage.

First of all, both husband and wife must have a basic understanding of "this is my home, and I can't leave home anywhere." Only in this way will they not leave in anger when they quarrel and never come back.

Secondly, both husband and wife should communicate frequently. Once they find any signs of something wrong, they should speak up immediately. Otherwise, you won’t say it, and I won’t say it either. They will keep it in their hearts, which will slowly build up a gap between the husband and wife.

, there is no way to talk to each other, this is very dangerous, maybe one day there will be a sudden thunderstorm.

And then the husband and wife must have the mentality to consider each other. As long as you think for me, I think for you, you help me, I help you, and support each other, you can go on for a long time. But if the freshness passes,

Regardless of the two parties, even if one party feels that there is no passion, is lazy at home every day, and is unwilling to talk to the other party, over time, the other party will naturally be dissatisfied, and conflicts will gradually arise, accumulating over time, until a thunderstorm.

Also, can both husband and wife consider each other’s important family members? After all, there are two levels of parents in life. In addition to his own parents, a man also has his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Since he is married, he must have a bowl of water on his side. Whatever happens, he will be sure

To top it off.

The same goes for women. In addition to their parents, they also have father-in-law and mother-in-law. When caring about their parents, they should also care about their parents-in-law. For Chinese families, marriage is never a matter of two people. This is a small family, two people.

Everyone's business.

If family relations are not handled well and the husband is unhappy and the wife complains, what should be done?

For rich people, these things may be small problems that can be solved by spending more money, but for the general public, there is simply no money to solve many real-life conflicts, so the only thing they can rely on is to spend more money.

and took action.

Fortunately, in this day and age, social classes are still relatively vague. As long as you work hard, it is very easy to achieve a class jump. The general public is full of hope for the future, which is also good for maintaining marriage relationships. I am afraid that in ten or twenty years, society will

Classes are gradually solidified and class jumps are hopeless. This will not only cause harm to ordinary people, but also cause great harm to ordinary marriage relationships.

Why?

First of all, there are men. Men at the bottom see no hope of rising and have no money to marry a wife. Even if they borrow this and that and barely get a wife, does the wife marry you to live a hard life with you? After a long time, the wife will definitely

If you are dissatisfied, your marriage will not survive.

Although it is always said that men and women are equal, in traditional Chinese concepts, men are the backbone of the family and are the old scalpers who make money for the family, while women are the virtuous helpers of the family. They must do housework, take care of the children, and take care of the family affairs.

Well run.

But ten or twenty years later, this situation has completely changed. The younger generation of men have become less and less interested in being the mainstay, and women have become less and less interested in being a virtuous wife.

'.

Coupled with the increasing pressure of life at that time, especially education, medical care and housing, young people even had less and less thoughts of getting married.

Before Ma Xiaolong was reborn, the country's population was about to experience negative growth. Think about it, there were still a lot of old people alive, and if young people didn't have children, it would directly lead to the old being homeless in the future.

It's scary to think about it.

Ma Xiaolong shook his head. He is not a leader anyway, so he should leave these things to his leaders to worry about! If he has the ability in the future, he will try to help young people solve these worries so that they can get married and have children without much pressure. There is no need now

Think so much.

On this day, Zhusha really lay in bed all day, and it was not until night that she reluctantly went downstairs to have dinner with everyone. She was a little embarrassed to face the strange looks in Zhang Chiling and Chen Jun's eyes.

After dinner, Zhu Sha went back to her room to lie down. Chen Jun also went back to the opposite house first, leaving Zhang Chiling alone.

"Xiaolong, come sit here and let us have a chat." In the living room, Zhang Chiling made a pot of tea, sat on the sofa, and patted the seat next to her.

"Okay." Ma Xiaolong walked to her side and sat down, drinking hot tea and feeling comfortable.

Zhang Chiling turned on the TV and turned up the volume louder to prevent Zhusha upstairs from hearing what she said.

"Xiaolong." Zhang Chiling put down the tea cup and looked at him with a smile.

"Mom, please speak if you have something to say." Ma Xiaolong knew that Zhang Chiling must have something to say, otherwise she wouldn't be so formal.

"It's not a big deal." Zhang Zhiling gently held her hair on her ears and temples, with a touch of traditional Chinese feminine beauty: "Xiaosha... could it be you..."

"Uh..." Ma Xiaolong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Well... I might have been a little excited yesterday and overdid it."

"..." Zhang Chiling's cheeks were slightly red and she said, "You! Girls are already delicate, why are you so careless?"

"Mom, it's not my fault! I was going to stop, but she said she wanted me to enjoy myself as much as I could. I couldn't help it." Ma Xiaolong became more and more embarrassed, saying such things in front of his mother.

, it’s weird if it’s not embarrassing.

But besides being embarrassed, what’s the matter with being a little excited?

"..." Zhang Chiling didn't know what to say, and she was also very confused in her heart. After all, women are born to be strong in this kind of thing, but why is it the other way around with her son?

Is his son really gifted?

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiling's face became more and more rosy, and she said: "Then you also have a problem. You know that Xiao Sha is no longer good, so you can't even pretend to be good?"

"Uh..." Ma Xiaolong scratched his head: "Mom, you women can pretend, but men can't pretend at all!"

"..." Zhang Chiling's ears turned red. She had been there before, and of course she knew what Ma Xiaolong said about pretending. Indeed, as he said, women can indeed pretend in this regard. As long as they pretend to be similar enough, men can't tell at all.

.

But the same cannot be said for men. Whether they are pretending or not, women can feel it very clearly.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Zhang Chiling didn't want to say it anymore, she would die if she continued.

For a woman who has been single for more than ten years, it is too hard after all.

"Uh~ Well, okay." Ma Xiaolong nodded, but he didn't want to say anything anymore. If he continued talking, he would be so embarrassed that he dug out a basement with his toes.

"But..." After Zhang Zhiling calmed down for a while, she suddenly thought of something and asked: "You... are you usually like this? How did Xiao Sha survive?"

"Uh~ It's a little different. Usually I hold back my strength." Didn't I agree not to say it? Why did I start talking again?

"Then you...haven't it been very hard?" After Zhang Chiling said this, her heartbeat was a little too fast.

"Ahem, it's okay, after all, I also have hands."

Zhang Chiling was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't understand: "What?"

"Then what, do it yourself and have enough food and clothing." Ma Xiaolong winked at Zhang Chiling: "You understand, right?"

"..." Zhang Chiling's face suddenly turned red. She laughed a few times and hit him on the shoulder: "You kid, you're a bad learner."

Ma Xiaolong laughed dryly: "Mom, can we just stop talking? I'm afraid you will be embarrassed."

"Yes." Zhang Zhiling took a deep breath, her red face gradually returned to normal, stood up, and said: "In the future...well, if...Mom can ask Xiaojun to help you."

After saying that, he left quickly.

"..." Ma Xiaolong was shocked.
