Chapter 25: The Tree of Fortune

When Ma Dongbao came home in the evening, it was not yet seven o'clock, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled the aroma of stewed pork ribs. Tang Liyun heard the door knock and said from the kitchen: "Why did you come back so late today?"

"Mom, it's me. Ma Dongbao responded.

"Oh, it's Toho, I thought your dad was back. Tang Liyun hurriedly came out of the kitchen and said happily: "Dongbao, why did you come back so early today?"

"It's not a successful test, you can go to college without the exam, and you don't have to make up homework in the future. Ma Dongbao said happily.

"Well, Mom knows that my son is the best!" Tang Liyun quickly walked to Ma Dongbao's side and helped him unload his schoolbag, "Son, go wash your hands, Mom will stew pork ribs for you today, it will be fine in a while, eat more tonight." ”

Ma Dongbao changed into slippers and went into the bathroom.

Tang Liyun returned to the kitchen to take care of the large saucepan that was steaming white on the gas stove.

Ma Dongbao came out of the bathroom after washing his hands, leaned on the kitchen door and asked, "Mom, when is the meal going to be good?" ”

"Immediately, immediately, why don't these ribs be stewed, and Mom will serve you some ribs to eat first?" Tang Liyun said.

"Forget it, let's wait until you're all ready, let's eat together. Ma Dongbao said.

"Okay, son, you wait a little longer, the rice is already steamed, I'll fry two more dishes, soon." Tang Liyun said, "Why don't you sit there and watch TV first?"

Ma Dongbao answered and sat on the sofa. But I didn't turn on the TV, I just took out my phone and watched the news for a while.

It didn't take long for the door to open from the outside, and Ma Mingyuan entered the house.

Tang Liyun hurriedly asked, "Why did you come back so late today?"

Ma Mingyuan said while changing his shoes: "Don't mention it, isn't this going to be evaluated again?" Lao Sun has to ask me to prepare materials, isn't this until now." ”

When Ma Mingyuan sat down at the dining table, he realized that Tang Liyun had stewed a large pot of pork ribs today, and hurriedly asked, "Why are you stewing so many ribs today?"

Tang Liyun said: "Isn't my son growing up now? stew some pork ribs to replenish his body." ”

Ma Mingyuan was surprised and said, "Then you can't eat so many ribs, right?"

Tang Liyun said with a smile: "My son can't eat, you can also make up for your body, save yourself from being bored at night." ”

Ma Mingyuan immediately blushed, "What are you talking about? ”

Tang Liyun smiled and stopped talking, and sandwiched a large piece of pork ribs in each of Ma Dongbao and Ma Mingyuan's bowls.

Ma Dongbao ignored the conversation between them and just buried his head in eating. I don't know if I'm really hungry, or if my mother's stewed pork ribs are too delicious, Ma Dongbao thinks today's meal is particularly delicious. I ate three bowls of rice in a row, and a large pot of pork ribs also went down more than half.

Ma Mingyuan and Tang Liyun, who were watching, were a little dazed, thinking to themselves why their son was suddenly so able to eat recently?

Since Tang Liyun found out that her son has been able to eat very well recently, she has thought about buying more pork ribs to stew for her son after work. Although I expected that the child might eat more, I didn't expect to be able to eat so much.

Ma Mingyuan came back just now to see his wife stewing such a big pot of pork ribs, and fried two other dishes, and complained that his wife cooked too much. Unexpectedly, after only a short period of effort, his son was almost swept away.

Just when the couple was stunned, Ma Dongbao put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, burped, and was full.

When the couple saw that there were only some leftovers left in the basin on the table, they could only eat the rice in the bowl with these leftovers.

After Ma Dongbao finished eating, he didn't rush back to his room this time. Because he successfully passed the test, his inferiority complex was much smaller, and his self-confidence was not enhanced. He has also been willing to spend more time in the living room with his parents recently.

He sat in his chair and didn't move because he had eaten too much today and he needed a break.

In this interval of rest, Ma Dongbao burped, and briefly reviewed in his mind that he didn't know why the amount of food had suddenly increased recently? He had eaten a lot at noon today, and he had eaten so much when he went home in the evening, what had happened to him recently? Suddenly he was able to eat so much? After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with a reason.

Ma Dongbao recalled what happened at school today:

In order to ridicule himself, Wu Meng asked him to memorize English texts. But just when I couldn't memorize it, a big screen appeared in my mind, and there was an open English book on the big screen.

Later, I saw other people's test answers on the big screen, including the test answers from Wu Meng's information on the podium.

It's all amazing, isn't it?

But until now, I don't know what happened to lead to my current situation.

Could it be that since then, I have had a peeping function, which can snoop on other people's privacy?

But I still don't know how to control my peeping function!

Ma Dongbao's mind began to think crankily, and at this time he found that the big screen in his mind was turned on again. The first thing that caught his eye was Tang Liyun, who was sitting opposite.

Ma Dongbao saw Tang Liyun wearing a white T-shirt, and through the T-shirt, there was a black bra inside, why is this bra so familiar? Isn't this the one that hung on the balcony last night? What kind of privacy is this? And it's his mother's. It can be seen that the big screen in my mind is completely out of my control.

Ma Dongbao had no choice but to look away and fell on Ma Mingyuan. Nothing was found on Ma Mingyuan. Ma Dongbao suddenly remembered that Tang Liyun often joked that Ma Mingyuan had private money, but Ma Mingyuan always denied it.

It's a good time to take advantage of this opportunity to look up today. So, Ma Dongbao's eyes began to sweep around the house. After sweeping for half a day, there was nothing.

In the end, his eyes fell on the pair of leather shoes that Ma Mingyuan replaced when he entered the door, which was a pair of black ordinary cowhide shoes. But on the inside of the shoes, there seems to be a mezzanine, in which there are two hundred dollars, one hundred of the kind.

Okay, dad can let me catch you set up a small private vault this time, and every time I swear that I didn't hide private money.

Ma Dongbao's eyes turned to Ma Mingyuan again. At this time, Ma Mingyuan was scooping up some soup from the rice bowl left over from Ma Dongbao's eating, pouring it on the rice in his bowl, and then lowered his head and put his mouth to the edge of the bowl, and then put the rice into his mouth.

Ma Dongbao just wanted to laugh when he saw Ma Mingyuan's appearance of eating, and suddenly felt sad again. A teacher at a dignified key university is so mixed up that he wants to hide 200 yuan in his leather shoes, what is the meaning of life for a person to live in this place?

Moreover, Ma Dongbao feels that his mother Tang Liyun is not the kind of woman who is very powerful. If Ma Mingyuan marries a powerful woman, oh, it should be that if Ma Mingyuan marries a powerful woman, he can't imagine what kind of situation Ma Mingyuan will live his life?

Ma Dongbao suddenly found that Ma Mingyuan's sense of existence in this family seemed to only exist in fighting with himself.

When Ma Dongbao was distracted, Tang Liyun and Ma Mingyuan were eating the rice in their respective bowls with leftover juice.

Ma Dongbao took out a can of Coke from the refrigerator, sat on the sofa and drank it slowly, his eyes casually looking ahead.

What caught my eye was a half-human-tall fortune tree, which grew luxuriantly and vigorously. Ma Dongbao's gaze finally rested on the white ceramic flower pot under the fortune tree, there was nothing peculiar about this flower pot itself, the peculiarity was that Ma Dongbao found a strange thing in the flower pot.

Ma Dongbao looked at it, there was a small glass bottle in the flower pot, and there was a stack of banknotes in the glass bottle.

Ma Dongbao counted carefully, a total of 20, that is, 2,000 yuan.

Ma Dongbao was overjoyed, no wonder this flower is called the Fortune Tree, it turns out that it is really possible to make money!

Ma Dongbao immediately shouted: "Mom, this fortune tree in our house is very special!

Tang Liyun said: "Oh, this fortune tree, it was bought by your father from the flower market. ”

Ma Dongbao said: "My father bought this fortune tree is really worth it, and he can make money on his own." ”

Ma Mingyuan, who was gnawing on a big bone that had long been meatless, suddenly froze.

Tang Liyun turned her head to look at the fortune tree and said, "This fortune tree grows well, and your father often takes care of it." ”

Ma Dongbao then said, "Mom, why do you say this tree is called the Fortune Tree? Is it because it can make money?"

Tang Liyun smiled and said: "This is just a meaning, people raise it in the hope of making more money, and they just place good hopes on it." ”

Ma Dongbao was obviously not satisfied with this answer, "Is it just a meaning? I think our fortune tree is really unusual, it seems that it can really make money, such as giving birth to a gold ingot, silver ingot, banknote or something." ”

Speaking of this, Ma Dongbao glanced at Tang Liyun and Ma Mingyuan's faces.

Tang Liyun's face was still normal, and she said with a smile: "This kid is talking nonsense, if the Fortune Tree can really produce gold ingots, silver ingots, banknotes, and the like, isn't that all the family planted with this?"

Looking at Ma Mingyuan's face again, it was different, the expression on his face froze, and he looked restless for a while. After a while, he kept giving Ma Dongbao a look, signaling not to say any more.

Ma Dongbao only understood at this time, maybe it was his father's private money hidden by his mother.

So Ma Dongbao continued: "Mom, what you said is quite reasonable. Making a fortune by raising a fortune tree is like a pipe dream. ”

Tang Liyun said with a smile: "Our Dongbao has grown up and is sensible, and we all know that getting something for nothing is a pipe dream." ”

Ma Mingyuan secretly gave Ma Dongbao a grateful look.

Ma Dongbao is very proud in his heart, it seems that his ability to peep into everything is powerful! Doesn't this pinch a handle of his father, see how he will fight with me in the future?
