There is only one potholed road from Majia Village to Guanyin Town, and this road has to go around several villages, Ma Kongcheng chose to take a shortcut home, and when he returned home, the sky was already dark.

Ma Kongcheng stood quietly under the eaves, watching the two figures resisting the hoe appear in the twilight, tears rolled down uncontrollably, this is the father and mother!

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Ma Kongcheng wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and secretly decided in his heart that this time he must persuade his parents to move to the county seat for the elderly, and the second elder can no longer work so hard, anyway, there are many retired old people in that community, and they are not lonely.

"You're back?" Ma Dayuan's voice was full of surprise, and Lei Fengying, who walked behind him, paused: "Is my son back?" ”

She was a little suspicious, since she beat her son to study in Yongchuan City, she has not been home a few times, and every time she nagged this, she was reprimanded by Ma Dayuan, she knew that he also wanted her son. But now that my son is a big official and the mayor of the town, he is in charge of tens of thousands of people in a town!

"Feng Ying, hurry up, go back to cook, the fine girl is coming back from walking, she must be hungry!" Ma Dayuan urged his wife to go home and cook.

"Well, I just got home" Ma Kongcheng stretched out his hand and pretended to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, his father taught him to be strong since he was a child.

"Cub, you're hungry, Mom is going to cook for you!" Lei Fengying confirmed that her son was back, and took a deep look at Ma Kongcheng, tears flowed down involuntarily, and her voice was a little choked.

"Mom, I'm not hungry yet, you and Dad take a rest first, and I'll cook for you!" By the way, I bought you and Dad some supplements, and you two should take care of yourself! Ma Kongcheng leaned over and picked up something from the old table that had just been placed in the hallway.

"Your child is not married yet, don't spend money indiscriminately!" Lei Fengying said in disgust, hurriedly opened the door, took the things in his son's hand and carried it in.

"Da Yuan, see if the black-boned chicken at home is in the chicken coop, if it enters the cage, it will be caught and killed, if it is not in the chicken coop, the black hen will be caught and killed, I will go to wash rice and cook rice first. Sister, you come to help your mother light the fire! ”

As soon as Lei Fengying arrived home, she immediately got busy, directing Ma Kongcheng's father and son to be busy with this and that, Ma Kongcheng's heart warmed, and he immediately agreed to enter the kitchen.

After a lot of tossing, a table of fragrant meals came out, obviously Lei Fengying did not take his son's words of eating casually to heart, but carefully prepared a table of good dishes.

Ma Dayuan had already brought out a pot of rice wine, he knew that his son was good at drinking and could drink, which was very similar to him, and it was also what he was proud of.

"I haven't been back for a while, so I need to drink more in the evening!" Ma Kongcheng smiled and lifted the wine jug to pour wine for his father and mother, and also poured a bowl for himself.

"If you like to drink, drink more, and bring a few catties of wine when you go back!" Lei Fengying looked at her son with a smile on her face, her son became the biggest official within a radius of dozens of miles, and her old couple's reputation around her was also soaring, as if they had become a respected old lady in this way!

"What do you know as an old woman, now that we are the head of a town, and we are in charge of tens of thousands of people under our hands, and then carry a plastic wine barrel, how bad the impact is!" Ma Dayuan gently scolded his wife, and a look of pride flashed in his eyes.

"What's wrong with the mayor? The mayor of the town also has to eat and drink, so what's the shame of bringing some rice wine from home! Lei Fengying was obviously dissatisfied with what Ma Dayuan said, what happened to his son who liked to drink the rice wine at home and asked him to bring a bucket, not to steal it, and not to rob it.

"What do you know, Xi Yanzi is now the mayor of the town, he is a leading cadre of the state, he must pay attention to his identity and influence in everything he does, and bring a barrel of wine from home, what do the leaders of Hekou Town think of him, and what do the people of Hekou Town think of him? They will think, this Mayor Ma can't do it, he's a drunkard, and he will get a barrel of wine back when he goes home! ”

Ma Dayuan is worthy of being a soldier for several years, and he is also the first to analyze things. Lei Fengying heard him say this, thought about it, and felt that it made sense, his son couldn't ruin his future because of this drinking, so he was silent and agreed with Ma Dayuan's words.

Ma Kongcheng was moved in his heart, this is his father and mother, and only they will do everything to you without regrets, his nose was sour and he almost fell into tears, and he picked up the wine bowl and pretended to drink.

"Alright, if you can, drink your wine!" Lei Fengying's eyes widened, and she stretched out her chopsticks and put a chicken leg in the vegetable bowl in front of Ma Kongcheng, while Ma Dayuan smiled innocently and lowered his head to drink.

Ma Kongcheng couldn't bear to look at his mother's disappointed look: "Okay, Dad, Mom, there's nothing to be afraid of, I'll just use fresh orange and multiple bottles to fill a bottle of wine." Besides, I'm also a mayor now, and if I have a special car, who can see if I throw it on the car! ”

"That's right, little girl, mom will go and give a bottle now!" Lei Fengying put down her chopsticks, found a bottle with more fresh oranges, although it was clean, she washed and washed it, and went to the kitchen to fill her son with rice wine.

Ma Kongcheng watched his mother pounce on him, and his tears still couldn't be held back after all, falling drop by drop into the wine bowl in front of him.

Ma Dayuan did not scold his son for the first time, but smiled very happily, he knew that his son was very filial when he was a child, and now that he is out, it is understandable that he feels uncomfortable when he sees his parents tired.

"Little man, do you want to fill you with a few more bottles? This bottle isn't enough for you to drink! Lei Fengying brought a bottle of wine, the kind of 2.5-liter fresh orange multi-bottle, which can hold at least more than four catties of rice wine.

"Mom, that's enough, I just drink a little once in a while, how can I drink a lot at work, there are so many things in this town! Mom, let's eat! Ma Kongcheng picked up the wine bowl and drank it dry.

"Dad, Mom, I think you should go to live in the county seat, the house assigned to me by the Public Security Bureau is empty anyway, you go and help me see the house, don't farm at home!" Ma Kongcheng put down the wine bowl, picked up the chopsticks and nibbled on a chicken wing.

"Cub, we also want to play, but now you let the two of us go to live in the city, and it costs money to drink a bucket of water in this city! Besides, you're not married yet, I'll go with your dad when you have a baby! Lei Feng said earnestly in English.

"Yes, when you get married, your mother and I will go to live in the city with you!" Ma Dayuan interjected with a smile: "Besides, eating vegetables or something in the city is very expensive, I heard that drinking water costs dozens of yuan a month!" ”

"yes, I can't afford to live without a job in the city!" Lei Fengying drank the wine in the dry bowl, got up and went to fill the rice.

Ma Kongcheng knew that his parents were both people who were used to living in the city, and let them go to the city to live like this, they would definitely not want to do it, it seemed that they still had to think of a way.

With a sudden movement in his heart, Ma Kongcheng put down his chopsticks: "Dad, Mom, you can go to the store, I will go to the buyer's façade to make a sound for you, and you can earn dozens of yuan a day, which is enough for you to live, and the façade can be sold again if you don't want to do business in the future!" ”

Ma Kongcheng saw that his father had already moved, so he hurriedly pursued while he was victorious: "So you don't have to work so hard, it's easier for me to come back to see you!" ”

"How much does it cost to buy a storefront? Cub, don't learn from other people's corruption and bribery, that will lead to jail! Lei Fengying came over with rice.

"Mom, you see your son looks like a corrupt criminal! I gave the money when I was transferred to the army, and let Li Xing's girlfriend buy stocks, and now I should have made a lot of money, and it is not a problem to borrow some money from a friend to buy a façade, it can be regarded as an investment! ”

"Mom, in this case, I can also come back to the city from time to time to see you!"

"You child, no matter how much business you do, you have to eat and drink, and you have a lot of expenses in the city, your mother still says that, you still work with peace of mind, get married and have children early, and your mother will go with you to enjoy happiness!" Although Lei Fengying was a little moved, since her son entered the city, the opportunity to go home has become less and less, and seeing her son often is a lot of temptation for her, but when she thinks of the expensive living expenses in the city, she has strengthened her belief again.

Ma Kongcheng sighed in his heart, it seems that his mother decided to wait until he got married and had children before he followed, and now it seems that he can only work hard to do a good job, strive to get to the deputy hall as soon as possible, and get married one day earlier, so that his mother can enjoy the happiness one day earlier: "Dad, Mom, then you plant less fields, pay attention to your body!" ”

"yes, I see!" Lei Fengying nodded, took a bite of food and suddenly remembered something: "Fine, Ma Chunyun and Taohong are divorced, Chunyun said that Taohong can't have children, I heard that Taohong has opened a clothing store in the county, and the business is not bad."

Ma Kongcheng nodded, as if he had heard his mother talk about this matter a few months ago, but he didn't know that the poor woman in Taohong had divorced Ma Chunyun after all.

"Peach is a poor woman, last time she came back to see me, you just asked your police friends to help her in the city, it's not easy for her to be in the city with a woman!" Lei Fengying finished pulling the rice in the bowl in two bites and put down the chopsticks.

"Yes, I'll just ask a few friends to help watch the dots!" Ma Kongcheng nodded, poured another bowl of wine and drank it.

Originally, the minimum plan was to borrow enough money from the new agriculture, but I didn't expect that even the money for the urban reconstruction project would be in hand, and more importantly, Su Xinning of the Agricultural Bank of China completely leaned towards herself, no, it should be said that she leaned on Fang Yunxia.

As long as the funds for these two projects are in place, I will immediately make a plan when I go tomorrow, and hurry up to catch the matter, and when I think of going back, I immediately remember to call the driver Xiao Li and ask him to pick him up tomorrow, and by the way, let my parents go to the house of the Public Security Bureau to have a look and recognize the road.

Thinking of this, Ma Kongcheng put down the wine bowl, took out his mobile phone and dialed Xiao Li's phone.

"Mayor Town, do you want to use a car, I happen to be in the county seat now, my girlfriend's relatives are here, I'm late to go back, I promise there will be no next time!"

"Forget it, it's normal to have something at home, so let's do it, tomorrow you drive to Majia Village, Guanyin Town, to pick me up, and I'll take the old man to the city to recognize the door!" Well, will you have time tomorrow? If I don't have time, I'll take them on a minibus? ”

"There's time, there's time, I'll be here early tomorrow morning!"

"Then don't worry, just drive slowly!"

"Dad, Mom, I'll accompany you to see the house in the county tomorrow, and if you miss me in the future, you will go to the county seat, and there will be a place to stay!" Ma Kongcheng hung up the phone.

"Okay, let's go and see tomorrow and recognize the way!" Ma Dayuan nodded, took a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

"Won't that delay your work?" Lei Fengying was a little worried, for fear that it would affect her son's future, and her son finally became the mayor of the town, but it would be good not to have any bad influence!

"No, I've also come out on business these days, and now it's time to take a break after the business is over, and it won't take much time to accompany you to see our new home in the county!" Ma Kongcheng comforted his mother softly.

"That's okay, then I have to find clothes that I can get by, but I can't embarrass the little girl!" Lei Fengying quickly remembered that she couldn't give her son a job, and immediately remembered that she had to find a decent dress.

"Find that blue shirt too!" Ma Dayuan put down the wine bowl, he naturally couldn't give his son a share, the shirt was only bought in Guanyin Town last year.

"Okay, I know, you two father and son hurry up and drink the bar, and if you drink it again, you don't have to make breakfast tomorrow!"

"Alright, little girl, drink, drink!" Ma Dayuan raised the bowl, and the father and son began to drink.

Early the next morning, Ma Kongcheng got up and ran along the potholed road behind the house, along the way many people in the village have gotten up to do farm work, it is the season of harvesting the second crop of rice, and the camellia in the mountains has also reached the harvest season, and the golden September is not false.

"Cheng Yanzi is back to help your mother cut rice!" Uncle Liang in the next yard was holding a hoe on his shoulder, and a leather bucket was hanging from one section of the hoe, picking up cow dung along the way.

"I also want to help them, but I don't have time, I can only come back to see them, this is not last night, I will go back today, I asked them not to farm, they still don't listen to me, Uncle Liang, if you have a chance to help me persuade them!" Ma Kongcheng slowly stopped, dense beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Your life is good, you gave birth to a good son! However, we mud-legged people have stepped in the mud all our lives, and suddenly we don't go to the field, and we will really be a little uncomfortable, so we can only let them take their time first! ”

There was a look of envy in the old man's eyes, Ma Dayuan gave birth to a good son, and it is not that no one is an official in the political axe within a radius of dozens of miles, but this kid is the biggest official, and it is said that he is on an equal footing with those bureau chiefs in the county!

"Uncle Liang, then please have a chance to persuade my parents!" Ma Kongcheng waved his hand, walked and continued to run towards the house, and the sound of a car horn came unexpectedly.

A black Santana car drove over slowly, Ma Kongcheng was stunned, and then remembered that he didn't tell Xiao Li the specific location last night, and he didn't bring his mobile phone when he got up in the morning and ran in the morning, no wonder he drove the car along the road.

Santana stopped beside Ma Kongcheng, and the window rolled down, revealing Xiao Li's honest face: "Mayor Town, I guessed that you were running, but fortunately you drove slowly, otherwise you would have missed it!" ”

"It's okay, you go to the front and make a U-turn!" Ma Kongcheng waved his hand and stopped.

Xiao Li answered, started the car and went to the front to make a U-turn.

"Cheng Yanzi, this is the car that is here to pick you up?" Uncle Liang paused, it seems that the people in the village are not talking nonsense, this kid has really become a character, and he has all gotten into a car.

"Well, the car with the unit!" Ma Kongcheng nodded: "Uncle Liang, be careful, stand on the side, don't be scratched by the car!" ”

When Uncle Liang heard this, he turned to the side of the road, turned around, and sure enough, he heard the whistle of the car.

"Cheng Yanzi, you are out now, we are dozens of miles away from your officials, there used to be a secretary for the secretary of the county party committee in the three wells next door, and then I didn't know what was going on, so there was no news!"

"It's not promising, it's just a servant of the people!" Ma Kongcheng smiled, he really didn't know much about these parents.

"You are also from a poor background in our village, and now that you have a chance, you have to think about helping us farmers get rich, do something real, don't sit in this car all day long, run to the village, and the work will be done!" Uncle Liang said earnestly.

"Well, I know, Uncle Liang, I'll remember what you said! It's time for you to go back to breakfast. Uncle, I'm leaving! Ma Kongcheng nodded, Xiao Li's driving skills were good, and the car slowly drove over and stopped beside Ma Kongcheng.

"Go, go!" Uncle Liang shook his hand, and the breeze blew and raised the pale hair in front of his forehead, and a foul smell came from the wind, which was the smell of cow dung.

"I'll run back! You follow along! Ma Kongcheng shook his head, his heart became heavy, it has been some years of reform and opening up, the peasants are still so poor, the slogan is loud, how many people are really rich?

The road to achieving common prosperity is still very difficult, Ma Kongcheng sighed in his heart, but these things are not something he can decide at the moment, he trotted up, and the driver Xiao Li drove the black Santana and slowly followed him.

This person and car slowly moved forward, and the potholed road in the countryside in the early autumn morning became a unique scenery.

Uncle Liang, who was bent over his waist, looked at Ma Kongcheng who was running slowly in amazement, and the car that was slowly following him, and he had a special feeling in his heart.

Ma Dayuan, who is called a dog, gave birth to a good son, I hope he can be a good official!
