The New Year is approaching day by day, and Ma Zhan is really as Sister Liu said, he has not been to the health center these days.

He was immersed in his own world and couldn't extricate himself, and the ups and downs he had endured over the years were all concentrated by him in the past few days.

Every day, he does almost one thing, which is to guard the villagers who have returned intermittently at the door of his house.

Most of the villagers who returned, like Rao Black Python, were taken aback by Ma Zhan and the changes in the village. When they returned home and heard the rumors of the elderly or children, they felt a slight heat on their faces.

Ma Zhan didn't say anything to them, they just instinctively didn't think that Ma Zhan could achieve his current results, and his words naturally revealed a faint strange concern.

And it is precisely this kind of care that has changed a little after hearing about the glorious history of the horse's struggle.

It wasn't until the twenty-eighth year that Ma Zhan stopped this behavior and began to run to the health center frequently.

In the morning, ask if the meat dishes are enough, in the afternoon ask if the clothes are warm enough, whether the hot water bottle is good, and if it is not snowing or the road is closed in the evening, I have to go on a trip just to see the thick pajamas of the two people.

Sister Liu has long been accustomed to the living treasure behavior of fighting for horses, but Zhang Shiyu is still the first time.

For Ma Zhan's frequent visits and the occasional ambiguous words blurted out, the number of times he blushed and gritted his teeth is almost impossible to remember.

A little bit of shyness after being teased, a little warmth of being cared for, and a little bit of open laughter made her feel natural. It wasn't until this time that she really felt that this bastard who peeked at him taking a bath was actually as Sister Liu said, not bad.

The sky was not beautiful, and in the early morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it snowed again.

And this time the snow came faster than the previous few small movements, but in half a day, the village road had been filled, and one foot went straight to the ankle.

He took off his suit and put on a new, warmer down jacket. Squatting in front of their house with their hands rubbed together like other villagers, watching the snow and the boy in his rain boots cheering in the snow.

He has done this kind of thing, but at his age, he is not so leisurely and elegant.

"Zhang Dandan, this idiot really won't come back for the New Year. Looking at the figure running in the snow, he muttered to himself lightly.

"Struggle, eat. How many drinks do you have with your godfather and godmother when it's cold today?"

"Okay. Ma Zhan shook off the snowflakes falling on his head, and squeezed out a mouthful of white teeth in response.

"Look at how happy you are, bear. Li Chunsheng happily replied and turned around to go back to the house.

At the dinner table, Ma Zhan added three glasses of warm rice wine, and then lifted the cup and said: "The New Year is here, I wish my godfather and godmother happiness and good health." ”

"Come, let's go. ”

Li Chunsheng, who drank a large sip of rice wine, shook his head slightly, feeling comfortable.

After taking two mouthfuls of food and putting it in his mouth, he said: "Struggle, when the meal is over, you go and pick up your grandfather, your godmother makes the bed, and let the old man live here for the next few days." ”

"Yes, struggle, you can't be a grandson like this. The old man is quite lonely. ”

"I went there last year and told him, he wasn't happy, I didn't have a problem. Ma Zhan said lightly while drinking.

"Chunsheng, then you will shout, for the New Year, don't let the old man be lonely. The godmother urged repeatedly.

"Well, I'll go later. With that, he put down his chopsticks and stood up and said, "Forget it, I'll go now, isn't this just for dinner." ”

"Okay, I'll go get a pair of chopsticks. ”

The two people who had just sat down at the table hurriedly got off the table again, and Ma Zhan looked at the two people who walked away, and his heart was warm.

It's one thing that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, but at this moment he feels the love of his father and mother that he hasn't had for many years, although it is not really a family, but this kind of "liveliness" is even better.

Ma Zhan was stunned with chopsticks, his eyes looked at the central boiler, the charcoal fire was red, like molten iron about to melt and twisted together, and like the hot beating heart in his left chest, extremely warm.

"Struggle, what a stunned person. Eat, don't wait. Aunt Li, who came back with a pair of chopsticks, urged.

"Oh, good. ”

After a glass of wine, Li Chunsheng came back with a big umbrella. There are four more people around, three generations of men from the Rao family and Ma Guicai, the old village head.

It's just that when he saw the old village chief, he was slightly stunned, and wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh.

The old village chief was wearing a black thick down jacket, which Ma Fenfen had bought for him a few days earlier. But the sign on the zipper of the clothes was still hanging straight on it.

Ma Zhan didn't know if the old man had forgotten or didn't know such a thing, but he felt uncomfortable.

"Old man, why don't you take off the sign, it's a shame. When the old man was seated, he asked as he poured his wine.

"You loser, this dress is more than 800 yuan. The old man reprimanded.

Ma Zhan pouted and didn't answer, but after adding wine to the three members of the Rao family, he helped him pick up the brand.

"Grandpa Rao, Uncle Rao, Jin Long, let's go together?"

"Eh, it's good, it's good......"

A table member picked up his glass and touched it again.

After a glass of wine, Ma Zhan looked at the three of them and asked softly, "What's the matter, Grandpa Rao." ”

"There is indeed something, I was thinking of inviting you to my house for dinner today, but I didn't expect the road to be closed due to heavy snowfall. That's why we're going to your side. ”

"Jin Long is eighteen years old after the New Year, and he goes out to work to see that he is still young, and he is a demon king in the village. So old man, I just thought about whether I could let Jin Long work with you, it is not a matter of having more money or less money, the main thing is to let him learn some skills to eat later. ”

"Struggle, this is also Jinlong's own idea. Guaranteed to be obedient and not cause you trouble. Rao Black Python added.

Ma Zhan thought about it, put down his chopsticks and said, "To be honest, if I really want to arrange a job for Jinlong, I really can't find a suitable one for me all of a sudden." ”

After a while, he looked at the three of them and added: "Otherwise, the village will buy a car in the future, and you give some money for Jinlong to go to the county seat to learn to drive with people, and if you learn to drive, you will give the village committee three hundred a month." ”

"This car only goes once or twice a week, and usually follows me when I have nothing to do, and he helps me do something. I don't dare to say about the money, because I'm not sure what I'm going to do next year, do you think that's okay?"

"Okay, do as you say. Rao Qingsnake agreed without thinking about it.

After getting the reply, Ma Zhan looked at Jin Long and asked, "You have to call me uncle according to your seniority, and you are a few years older than you according to your age." Jin Long, you said it yourself, it's okay to arrange it like this. ”

"Uncle Struggle, listen to you, anyway, I don't want to go out to work for others. Jin Long hurriedly nodded and smiled.

"That's it, the family doesn't talk to each other. If my horse struggles to eat, the golden dragon is indispensable. ”

"Here, touch one more. ”

In a few words, Ma Struggle had the first nominal helper.

He also realized such a problem, and the people in the village seemed to take a fancy to him, an orphan without a father and a mother.

Anyway, it's a good thing, so there's no reason for him to refuse to take refuge in the door.
