"Where is the money your sister-in-law gave you? Take it out and mom will keep it for you first and then give it to you later."
"..."
"Don't ask for money as soon as you open your mouth." Grandpa scolded Liu Ying, and then said in a friendly manner: "Xiaolong, your money, grandpa will get you a passbook to save it, and you can take it out when you have money to spend in the future."
"..."
Ma Xiaolong sighed and said, "Grandpa, as far as I know, you can't apply for a passbook or bank card without an ID card. How can you apply for a passbook for me?"
"Ahem, this... it's the same as depositing it in grandpa's bankbook." Grandpa said a little embarrassed.
Ma Xiaolong rolled his eyes and said nothing.
"Is this a rebellion!?" Liu Ying raised her eyebrows: "Be obedient and take out the money. Mom will save it for you and give it to you later."
"..." Ma Xiaolong asked: "Mom, you helped me save my previous New Year's money. Can you tell me how much I have saved now?"
"Ah!?" Liu Ying was stunned, suddenly feeling as embarrassed as if she had been exposed through a peep show.
"Yes!" Ma Xiaofeng also rebelled: "And my New Year's money. Mom, how much have you saved for me?"
Liu Ying suddenly became angry and shouted: "Children, don't ask so many questions!"
Ma Xiaofeng shivered in fright and dropped the cookie in her hand.
"Why are you yelling at the child?" Grandma couldn't stand it any longer, so she hugged Ma Xiaofeng and comforted her a few words: "I'll scare the child again."
"Mom, these children are so disobedient. If I don't discipline them, they will go to heaven." Liu Ying said angrily.
"Okay, just say a few words." Grandpa put the teapot in his hand on the table and said: "Now Xiaolong earns more than the three of us combined. He was able to establish a household before. We can't treat him as such."
The child watched it.”
When grandpa opened his mouth, Liu Ying was speechless. To be honest, today was really exciting for her. She was clearly the main force in the family before, but she didn't expect that her status in the family would change when she came back from get off work.
For ordinary families, whoever makes more money will have a higher family status, but Ma Xiaolong became the most profitable person in the family at the age of seven. Not only Liu Ying felt awkward, but Ma Qiangsheng was even more shocked.
As the strongest labor force in the family, his family status was suddenly replaced by his seven-year-old son. Ma Qiangsheng couldn't help but doubt his life: I am not even as good as a child?
Grandpa still had the best attitude and adjusted in a timely manner. Now he said in a consultative tone: "Xiaolong, it's not a problem for you to leave so much money at home. If a thief is recruited into the house, the loss will be great. What do you think?
Woolen cloth?"
"Just spend it," Ma Xiaolong said.
"What!?" Everyone was shocked, and Liu Ying became anxious: "What are you spending on? If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you are a prodigal son!"
Grandma frowned and said, "Xiaolong, do you want to buy something? If it's not too expensive, you can buy it."
"I didn't want to buy anything for myself." Ma Xiaolong shook his head.
"Then what did you spend!?" Liu Ying said angrily.
"I want to build a house for my godmother's family, but the earthen wall in her backyard has collapsed and is unsafe."
As soon as the words came out, the room was so quiet that you could hear needles dropping.
"..." Liu Ying opened her mouth, but suddenly she didn't know what to say.
Grandpa sighed: "You kid, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"It's too late to say anything, so you just ask me for money." Ma Xiaolong said.
"..." Liu Ying and grandpa's faces were a little hot.
"Ahem!" Ma Qiangsheng tried to smooth things over: "I'm going to buy some bricks, lime and sand tomorrow. It was too late to renovate the house a year ago. Even more than a thousand dollars won't be enough to renovate it. Let's build the courtyard wall first!"
Everyone nodded.
Ma Xiaolong chuckled, took out the money from the inner pocket of his cotton coat, and put it on the table: "It's all here."
"It won't cost that much." Ma Qiangsheng drew five cards: "Five hundred riches are enough."
"After buying the materials, we still need to find a wall builder." Grandpa said.
"I'll do it!" Ma Qiangsheng said, "I helped people build houses before, so building walls should be no problem."
"Then I'll leave it to you." Grandpa thought for a while and said, "You happen to have a holiday tomorrow, can you finish it in one day?"
"I...will try my best." Ma Qiangsheng could not guarantee it.
"I can build walls. Dad, you can just be a small laborer." Ma Xiaolong suddenly said.
There was a moment of silence.
Ma Qiangsheng couldn't help but asked: "Are you really good at building walls?"
"What's so difficult about building a wall?" Ma Xiaolong said, "I watched others build houses in the past two years, and I learned it early."
This is of course a lie. The truth is that he worked at a construction site for more than 20 years in his previous life, and he is already familiar with the job of building a house.
Grandpa shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You kid, you are really... forget it, anyway, grandpa will believe everything you say you can do in the future."
Ma Xiaolong chuckled and handed the remaining 1,100 yuan to Liu Ying: "Mom, save it! You can buy whatever you want in the future, and my son will earn it for you after you spend it!"
Liu Ying was completely off guard by these words, she hugged him into her arms and burst into tears.
After comforting her for a while, Liu Yingcai stopped crying, held the money in her hand, and asked, "Do you really want to spend it on me?"
"Spend it! Anyway, I will have 500 every month from now on!" Ma Xiaolong said Versailles.
"Smelly boy." Ma Qiangsheng's face turned green. Now Ma Xiaolong can support him for four months a month. Three months is enough for him to work for a year. Although there are differences in people, the gap is too big. Ma Qiangsheng's
My self-esteem was severely damaged.
Grandpa said with emotion: "As I get older, my family will rely on my grandson from now on."
"Grandpa, don't look at the gate anymore. If you have nothing to do, walk around and play chess with others. I will make money!" Ma Xiaolong started to take care of everything again.
The eldest grandson's filial piety made the grandfather very happy. He smiled and said: "No, my grandfather has worked in the match factory all his life. Even if he retires, he still wants to stay in the factory every day. It's good like this now. I can still earn some pocket money every month."
, much better than walking all day.”
"That's fine, as long as you're happy."
Some old people live a full day before retiring. Once they retire, they feel like they have lost their goals in life, and their energy and energy slump rapidly, which is not good for their health. Grandpa can be happy every day, which is much better than being idle. If it goes on like this,
Good.
The three-court trial ended just like that, and the family hurriedly had dinner. After such a long delay, the food was almost cold.
After dinner, Liu Ying went to the opposite door and told Zhang Chiling about what happened today and about Ma Xiaolong's payment for repairing the courtyard wall of her house.
Zhang Chiling was stunned after hearing this. Ma Xiaolong had previously said that he would build a house for her and at least repair the courtyard wall, but she only listened to it as a happy thing. She didn't expect that Ma Xiaolong would make his first fortune in life.
After receiving the money, he actually wanted to build the courtyard wall for her.
"This kid Xiaolong..." Zhang Chiling's eyes filled with tears and she was speechless for a moment.
"You are so happy." Liu Ying joked, "You have such a filial godson."
Zhang Chiling burst into tears and smiled, wiping the corners of her eyes and saying, "You must be the happiest! You are his mother."
"Haha, it's okay. You brat gave me all the remaining money and let me spend it as I please." Liu Ying's show off was beyond words.
The two girls chatted and laughed for a long time. When Zhang Chiling refilled her tea, Liu Ying suddenly asked: "Did you go to your former mother-in-law's house today?"
Zhang Chiling shook her hand and the tea spilled out.
