Chapter 842 "Relatives"
What made Lame Ma even more upset was that the bed cabinet at home was opened, and the quilt inside was taken out and spread on the kang to warm up the two young men. There is also a small aluminum basin on the table, which contains oranges, apples and other fruits. But looking at it, it seems to belong to him too!
Ma Lizi raised his eyebrows, and his heart suddenly became angry...
In the northeastern countryside, under normal circumstances, the door is not locked when going out for a short time. Especially in Yizhi Village, the atmosphere in the village is good. Although there is a rascal like Song Ergou, there are basically no incidents of climbing over the wall and stealing money. Therefore, everyone has never had the habit of locking the door.
If someone goes to the house and turns around and finds no one there, they will leave consciously. Even if they are visiting relatives, they will not rummaging through things when they arrive at other people's homes. The wardrobe, kitchen, refrigerator, and the lower room [a small warehouse built separately outside] are even more private places, and those with a little bit of politeness will not touch them.
As for the ones who didn't say hello once they entered the house, they took the host's food and ate it directly, and they couldn't see it at all!
The cripple looked at it, and was furious in his heart! He was about to lose his temper, so he asked with a cold face, "Is this apple or something from my family?"
As soon as these words came out, the room was instantly quiet. The young and young couple didn't say anything, their faces were a little red, as if they were embarrassed. The man at the top of the kang frowned and looked at Ma Jiangping.
Ma Jiangping didn't feel embarrassed at all, but smiled and said: "Isn't that right, but we brothers and sisters are with each other. We came in a hurry, and we didn't have time to buy things and bring them here. When we walked in, you weren't home... Oh, you What kind of mess did you say your house is. So I helped you clean up the house, washed some fruit and put it outside. You don’t need to thank you, it’s all brothers and sisters, and it should be.”
Lame Ma frowned. When he came to his house to visit relatives, he didn't take anything. He still wanted to eat and use his food, and then he had to thank the other party!
The anger in Ma Laizi's heart became even hotter, and he waved his hand directly: "Jiang Ping, it's not easy for you to come here from a long distance, isn't it just to sit and sit?" In the eyes of Ma Laizi, the villagers of Yizhi Village , are relatives. But after all, there is some blood relationship, and it is not good to drive away the Jiujiang people. So Lame Ma decided to get rid of this relative as soon as possible, and then send him away.
When Ma Jiangping heard this, she immediately lowered her face: "Second brother Ma, look at what you said, as if we are here to take advantage of you. Don't think that I am a casual person. I am so casual because I treat you as a relative. If you change someone else’s house, invite me to go, but I’m not going. If you think we’re here to take advantage of you, that’s fine! Let’s go now! Dezi, Xueyu, get off the kang! Let’s go!”
The more Ma Jiangping talked, the angrier she became, she yelled at her son and daughter-in-law to get off the kang, pack up their things and leave.
When the cripple saw it, his heart skipped a beat, and he said: Am I really thinking wrong?
Lame Ma is not good at interpersonal communication, and his emotional intelligence is almost low, at most it can be kept above 0. He also knew this, so at this moment, he felt that Ma Jiangping might be wrong.
So the lame horse hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, what are you going to do? You came from a long way, and you are dying in the cold, so you don't have to worry about freezing the child when you go out. Sit down..."
As soon as these words came out, Meng Dezi and Peng Xueyu looked at Ma Jiangping.
Ma Jiangping still had a dark face and said nothing.
Ma Jiangping's husband coughed dryly and said, "Jiangping, it's alright, the second brother has already talked, what are you still doing with your face? Go cook!"
Ma Jiangping glared at her husband, Meng Changming, and said, "Okay, the second brother has already said it, then I will listen to the second brother."
After finishing speaking, Ma Jiangping took the pork belly brought back by Ma Laizi and went to the back kitchen. She rummaged through the boxes and boxes and found out many New Year's goods that Ma Laizi had prepared, and was ready to cook. Lame Ma looked at Ma Jiangping's family without letting go of his brows. Seeing Ma Jiangping like this made me even more upset...
He doesn't feel bad about these things. Now that the family is rich, they are not short of these New Year's goods. To put it bluntly, he is a cripple, relying on his craftsmanship, if he doesn't want to eat at home, he will have dinner every day. But my own things were taken out without even asking, and my heart was still a little bit annoyed.
But Ma Jiangping had already said before that she was that kind of person, and Lame Ma forgave her, so it's not easy to pursue it.
So Ma Laizi asked Ma Jiangping's husband, Meng Changming, to sit down, and the two chatted one after another. Meng Changming seemed to have something on his mind, and he hesitated to speak at all. Chatting with such a cheerful person like Ma Lizi is naturally extremely depressed. Not long after, the food came.
Huaxia people are particular about chatting at the table when they have something to do. After drinking for three rounds, Meng Changming finally said hesitantly: "Second brother, we are here this time. We really want to ask you for something."
Lame Ma has a good capacity for alcohol, although his face is flushed, his heart is like a mirror, he nodded slightly and said: "Let's talk."
Meng Changming said: "My kid is in his twenties, and he came back halfway through school. Up to now, he has never had a serious job. Let him go out to work, and he can't bear the hardship. I thought about it. , I still want him to learn a craft. As the saying goes, a fresh food is eaten all over the world. If you have a craft, at least you won’t starve to death. So I chatted with Jiang Ping, and I want my child to learn from you as a carpenter and a carpenter. craft."
Speaking of this, Meng Changming, Ma Jiangping, and Meng Dezi all looked at Lame Ma expectantly. Even Peng Xueyu, who was leading the children on the ground and feeding the two children, also looked over.
Lame Ma didn't say anything in classical Chinese, he ate some food and sipped some wine, and then said: "It's fine to learn a craft."
As soon as these words came out, Meng Changming and Ma Jiangping glanced at each other, seeing the joy in each other's eyes, and then they quickly toasted the lame horse.
Lame Ma's thinking is very simple, Yizhi Village already recruits apprentices, one more Mencius is not much, and one less is not much. Besides, in any case, there is also a bit of blood relationship, the older generation doesn't like to see it, and there is no need to bring it to the children's generation. So he agreed...
However, Lame Ma didn't expect that this matter has only just begun!
After a few more rounds of drinking, the lame horse started to wobble a bit, and talked too much, and the current development direction of One Finger Village was also blatantly stated.
When they heard that Yizhi Village was going to build a school, Ma Jiangping and Meng Changming glanced at each other. At that moment, their eyes lit up like light bulbs! A pair of space, as if the sparks have exploded!
So Meng Changming asked: "Second brother Ma, the school is a good place. Look, let Dezi study with you for two days, how about going in and becoming a teacher?"
As soon as these words came out, Ma Lizi's brows twisted into Sichuan characters!
