Chapter 173: The Gathering

Early in the morning, the sun is shining, and the winter sun shines on the snow-white ground, reflecting a dazzling light. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info "bang!", and the second kick of the neighbor next door directly woke up Ma Xiaodong suddenly.

Rubbing his sore head, Ma Xiaodong sighed helplessly, he has been weakened for the past few days, every day from morning to night, the sound of firecrackers from time to time has not stopped, although the New Year is very lively and festive, but it is really painful to not let people sleep lazy.

I can't sleep this morning, so let's get up, let my mother save some effort today, and don't have to grab the quilt with myself anymore.

Yang Guizhi is cooking, there are so many dishes for the New Year, of course I can't eat it, occasionally heat one or two dishes, slowly eliminate them, just put the vegetables in the pot, I saw my son rubbing his eyes and came out, and said with a smile: "Yo he! This is the sun coming out in the west today? Why do you get up so early?"

Ma Xiaodong ignored his mother's sarcasm, washed his face, took out his mobile phone, and began to call one by one to greet the New Year! Godfather and godmother Sister Xiaoyu's family, Liu Weimin's family, Secretary Li, and Mayor Wang, after a circle, it had been almost an hour after all bowing.

After the phone call to pay New Year's greetings, you have to eat quickly, and you have to go out to pay New Year's greetings to relatives and elders for a while, but this New Year's greeting can get New Year's money. After eating, the first family was grandma, as Ma Xiaodong's only elder of the next generation, he naturally had to be the first.

New Year's greetings to grandma, kowtow, got 10 yuan, 5 yuan more than every year, Ma Xiaodong is content, the old man has no income, and there is no money in his hands, all of which are usually given by his children, saving money, except for buying medicine, there are not a few yuan in savings, fortunately this year because of Ma Xiaodong, several uncles have earned a lot, and the money for grandma is also a little more. From time to time, Ma Xiaodong will also honor her old man, or buy her something delicious, hoping that she can live a few more days, not like in the previous life, so suddenly.

After grandma's family is done, it is Uncle Ma Hongyou's family, and the uncle is much more arrogant, and he directly has an unprecedented 100 yuan red envelope, which is the largest amount of New Year's money that Ma Xiaodong has received when he is so big. It's also this year that everyone has made money, and if they have money in their hands, they will naturally be much more generous.

Running down in a circle, it was just noon, the income was more than 400 yuan, and I went home for dinner, and the activities on the first day of the Lunar New Year were over. After all, a few hundred yuan is nothing to their current family.

In the afternoon, Yang Hailong and a large group of boys came to play with Ma Xiaodong early, and everyone got the New Year's money, although most of them would be handed in, but they were still a lot more generous than ever, and they all had a few yuan of pocket money.

Especially Yang Hailong, his New Year's money is the most this year, and he is thinking about how to show off with his friends, but Yang Hailong does not get as much New Year's money as Ma Xiaodong, except for Ma Xiaodong's family who gives 100 yuan, although other people's families say that it is more than every year, but a family is only 20 yuan. And he was mostly turned in.

"Little brother, let's go drill a snow cave! I know a place where the snow is very thick!"

This kid is talking about drilling a snow cave, which is to drill a cave in the snow that people can go in and play, this kind of play is only possible in the winter in the north, even if it is Ma Xiaodong and they are here, they must choose a ravine with thick snow, only in that kind of place, will a thick layer of snow be accumulated.

After a heavy snowfall, after some days of wind and sun, the upper layer of snow will become very hard, and ordinary people will not fall down when they step on it, so that you can drill a hole under the snow, or build a house with these hard snowboards, which is one of the games that children love to play in winter.

Ma Xiaodong shook his head, "Go ahead, I still have something." ”

As soon as Yang Hailong heard Ma Xiaodong say that there was something, he stopped pestering, he knew that his cousin was powerful and could help the family make money, more powerful than adults, so he didn't dare to delay Ma Xiaodong's affairs.

Yang Hailong and a group of friends left, Ma Xiaodong hurriedly went to the kang and took out a pillow, laid out the quilt, lay there and began to sleep, chatting with the little girl too late last night, and was woken up in the morning, and now he is sleepy.

The time of the New Year is happy, the children are not crazy enough, it is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year in a blink of an eye, on this day, Ma Xiaodong's family of four is going out to visit his aunt in the county, because today is the 50th birthday of Ma Xiaodong's third aunt, and all the relatives have to go every year today. It's a family reunion.

Ma Xiaodong's father, Ma Hongguo, has only one elder brother, two sisters, and three sisters who are not around, and they are far away, and they will not come back once in a few years. Ma Xiaodong's grandparents passed away a long time ago, and there are several brothers and sisters left, only Ma Xiaodong's third aunt is the oldest, so every year during the Chinese New Year, everyone has to gather at the third aunt's house.

This day will be very lively, a total of four families, three generations of grandparents, dozens of people, speaking of which, Ma Xiaodong is now also an uncle and uncle, early in the morning, a family of four went to the uncle's house first.

Because Ma Xiaodong's family has a car this year, they have to pick up the uncle and their little grandson and take their own car, and the remaining eldest brother and sister-in-law have two cousins, so they can only take the shuttle bus by themselves.

The back seat of the A6 is very spacious, although it seats four people, but it is not very crowded, and the distance of 50 kilometers can be reached in less than an hour.

Ma Hongyou sat in the car, looked around, and exclaimed: "I didn't expect it, I'm getting old, and I borrowed my nephew's light and took a car." ”

Ma Xiaodong listened to it and said with a smile: "If you want to sit, I will take you out for a ride every day in the future." "When I was a child, my uncle was very good to me, and now that I have the ability, I naturally have to find a way to give back.

Ma Hongyou laughed happily when he heard this, and then said: "You can pull it down, uncle can't stand your toss! Our old Ma family has such a capable person as you, that is really the feng shui of the cemetery that your father and I picked at the beginning! It is estimated that if your grandparents knew that they had such a grandson, they would be happy, but they were not blessed and could not see it!" Ma Hongyou's expression was a little gloomy, and the helpless thing in life was nothing more than the son who wanted to raise but did not wait for his relatives.

Ma Xiaodong shook his head and smiled, he told the truth after listening to his father's drinking, the reason why the cemetery of his grandparents was chosen in this place is completely because the brothers were afraid that they would go far away if they went to the grave in the future, so they chose a place close to home, and it was convenient to go to the grave to burn paper for the New Year and festivals in the future.

The family talked and laughed, and before they knew it, they arrived at the county seat, turned a few corners, Ma Xiaodong drove the car to the road where the third aunt's house was located with a clear memory, and saw the third aunt watching at the gate from a distance.

Ma Xiaodong's third aunt can be said to be particularly doting on the younger generations, and is very patriarchal, Ma Xiaodong is the youngest boy among all the brothers and sisters, and is naturally loved by the third aunt, every time Ma Xiaodong comes, the delicious food has not been broken, Ma Xiaodong's father in front of her even if he says that Ma Xiaodong is not a word, it is really Ma Xiaodong's habit of asking for stars and not giving the moon.

The third aunt is so good herself, Ma Xiaodong is naturally very close to the third aunt, and when she returned to her hometown in her previous life, no matter how tight she was, she had to bring something to the third aunt and come to visit her old man.

The car was parked at the door, everyone got off one after another, Ma Xiaodong wanted to find a place to park, so he didn't get out of the car, Ma Xiaodong's third aunt saw that the person who got off the car did not have his eldest nephew, and suddenly became anxious?

"Where's Dongzi? Why didn't you come?"

"Here, that's the one who doesn't drive!" Ma Hongyou said, pointing to the car.

When the third aunt heard this, she immediately glared at Ma Hongguo and said, "You let the child drive?

Ma Hongguo looked wronged and defended: "I want to drive, but people don't give it, the car is bought with the money earned by others, and I can't help it!"

At this time, Ma Xiaodong also parked the car, walked over, and congratulated Sangu with a smile: "Sangu, happy birthday!"

When Ma Xiaodong's third aunt heard this, she immediately smiled, hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Ma Xiaodong's hand, and nodded with a smile: "En, happy, happy, you are here, the third aunt will be happy, come into the house quickly, tell the third aunt, is it cold?"

"It's not cold, it's still hot in the car. Ma Xiaodong replied with a smile.

"Hehehe, my eldest nephew is capable, he can buy a car, I can die with a smile even if I die, and I can explain to your grandparents at the bottom. With a few brothers and sisters, she is content to have today's situation full of children and grandchildren.

"New Year's Day, don't say this, you will definitely live a long life, and I still have to honor you. ”

Sangule's mouth couldn't close, "Well, Sangu is trying to live and watching my eldest nephew get better and better." ”

"Okay! I won't disappoint you!" Ma Xiaodong nodded fiercely. (To be continued.) )
