Seeing that Ma Xiaoyao liked this watch, Xiaoyun suddenly showed a smile on his face.

Huzi and Gangzi poked their heads out of the car and said to Xiaoyun: "It's so fair, it's so fair, Xiaoyun, why do you only give a watch to Brother Xiaoyao?" Why don't we have a watch? ”

Xiaoyun's face suddenly turned red: "You also want a watch...... I'll buy it for you when I get back......"

"Back to buy? We want it now! Huzi pouted.

"Yes, now!" Gangzi also coaxed.

Ma Xiaoyao glared at Huzi and Gangzi: "I want to buy the watch myself!" Less blackmailing Xiaoyun! ”

"Oh, Brother Xiaoyao is distressed...... I feel distressed...... "Huzi and Gangzi shouted.

Ma Xiaoyao raised his fist and waved: "I see if you have itchy skin?" ”

Huzi and Gangzi shrunk their necks: "We're just kidding, don't be angry...... Don't be angry......" After speaking, Huzi and Gangzi retracted their heads into the car, not daring to make fun of Xiaoyun and Ma Xiaoyao anymore.

"Xiaoyun, thank you for giving me the watch, I like it very much." Ma Xiaoyao thanked.

"If you like it...... It's getting late, so hurry home. Xiaoyun smiled.

Ma Xiaoyao nodded, said hello to Huzi and Gangzi, and turned around and walked into the community.

After not seeing Ma Xiaoyao's figure at all, Xiao Yun turned around and returned to the car.

After Xiaoyun sat down, Huzi immediately drove away in the van.

……

When Ma Xiaoyao returned home, Zhang Chunfang and Ma Dahai were making dumplings, Ma Xiaoyao quickly washed his hands and went over to help roll out the dumpling skin.

A family of three sat at the table, talking and laughing and wrapping dumplings, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

At this moment, the mobile phone in Ma Xiaoyao's pocket suddenly vibrate.

Ma Xiaoyao patted the flour on his hand, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket, glanced at the screen, and found that it was Liu Siqi who called, Ma Xiaoyao pressed the answer button: "Hey?" ”

"Big brother, are you back in the city?" Liu Siqi's voice came from the mobile phone.

"Oh, I'm back, I'm home now." Ma Yao smiled.

"You're back!" Liu Siqi's tone suddenly became excited: "Are you free tonight?" Shall I invite you to dinner? ”

"Tonight? It's Chinese New Year's Eve tonight, and I'm going to have Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with my parents......" Ma said in embarrassment.

"Look at me, forget that today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, then tomorrow, tomorrow I will invite you to dinner!" Liu Siqi said.

"This ...... Tomorrow I will go to the leader's house to pay New Year's greetings, and I am afraid that I will not have time. Ma Xiaoyao said embarrassedly.

"Huh? So when do you have time? Liu Siqi's tone was a little lost.

Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "I don't know, so let's call you when I have time, okay?" If you don't go to the leader to pay New Year's greetings, the leader will think that you don't put him in his eyes, and his impression of you will be greatly reduced, even if you don't wear small shoes afterwards, you won't be reused to promote you, so it's a very important thing to give the leader a New Year's greeting.

"Alright then, I'll wait for your call." Liu Siqi responded.

"Anything else? If nothing else, I'll hang up, I'm helping my parents make dumplings. Ma Xiaoyao smiled.

"There's nothing going on...... Big brother, you must call me......" Liu Siqi said uneasily.

Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely call you, okay, let's talk about it first." After speaking, Ma Xiaoyao ended the call, put the phone in his pocket, and wanted to continue rolling dumpling skins.

"Go, wash your hands, just touch your phone and touch your face, don't pay attention at all!" Zhang Chunfang stretched out his hand and patted Ma Xiaoyao.

"Yes, yes, I'm going to wash my hands." Ma Xiaoyao hurriedly turned around and went to the bathroom, carefully washed his hands, and then came out to continue rolling the dumpling skin.

"Who called you just now? Listen to the voice seems to be a girl? Zhang Chunfang asked casually.

"Oh, Mom, do you remember once sister-in-law Wang told me that you led me to the east shopping mall to buy clothes, at that time you took a fancy to a suit, originally wanted to buy it for me, but then I knew that the suit was very expensive, so I wanted to return the suit, who knew that the shopping guide was not relenting, we had to buy the suit, and finally called a group of security guards to clean up us, at this moment, a father and daughter came to help us out of the siege...... "Ma Xiaoyao said.

Zhang Chunfang nodded: "Of course I remember, it seems that the one who helped us out of the siege seems to be a big boss......"

"Yes, the father's name is Liu Haitao, the owner of the Bihai Hotel, and the little girl's name is Liu Siqi, who is Liu Haitao's only daughter." Ma Xiaoyao said: "It was Liu Siqi who called me just now. ”

"Oh, that's the little girl, what did she call you for? Do you keep in touch often? Zhang Chunfang asked curiously.

"Liu Siqi wants to invite me to dinner." Ma Xiaoyao put a rolled dumpling wrapper in front of Zhang Chunfang and said, "Liu Siqi and I don't keep in touch often, occasionally, once. ”

Zhang Chunfang smiled slightly: "Actually, Liu Siqi's little girl is very good-looking, and her family background is good, but it's a pity that she is a little younger, otherwise she would be really suitable for you to be your girlfriend." ”

"Oh, Mom, what are you talking about?" Ma Xiaoyao grinned: "Let's not mention that people are only teenagers, that is, their family background, and it is not something I can climb, but they are a real daughter, where can I, a poor boy, climb high." ”

"Don't talk about yourself so badly." Zhang Chunfang glared at Ma Xiaoyao: "You are also a township chief now, a department-level cadre, you are so young, you will definitely continue to be promoted in the future, so ah, your future will definitely not be bad, with your conditions, you can definitely be worthy of that Liu Siqi." ”

"Okay, Mom, don't say it again, it is absolutely impossible for me and Liu Siqi to be different, not only the gap in family background, but also the age difference between us and us by more than ten years." After Ma Xiaoyao finished speaking, he lowered his head, rolled the dumpling skin with all his heart, and no longer talked about Liu Siqi with Zhang Chunfang.

Zhang Chunfang sighed: "Xiaoyao, you are not too young, it's time to find a daughter-in-law......"

Get! Not again! Ma Xiaoyao's cheeks twitched several times, and he said as calmly as possible: "Mom, I have some discomfort in my stomach, I went to the toilet." After speaking, Ma Xiaoyao ran into the toilet in a panic, and hid if he couldn't provoke it! Ma Xiaoyao really doesn't want to listen to his mother's nagging about finding a daughter-in-law anymore.

"This kid, why isn't he in a hurry?" Zhang Chunfang sighed.

"Okay, don't worry about it, Xiaoyao is an adult, he has his own way of life, let's leave it alone." Ma Dahai put a wrapped dumpling on the plate.

"My son is old and disobedient." Zhang Chunfang shook her head helplessly.

At night.

The family of three had a sumptuous dinner, and after eating, the family sat on the sofa and watched the gala.

At twelve o'clock in the morning, Zhang Chunfang went to cook dumplings, and then the family sat around to eat dumplings.

After eating the dumplings, Ma Xiaoyao helped Zhang Chunfang scrub out the rice bowl, and after cleaning up, the family went to sleep.

……

The next day is the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Ma Xiaoyao bought some gifts and started to visit the New Year, and the first one to visit was Guli.

For the arrival of Ma Xiaoyao, Gu Libiao Xiàn was very happy, and he was very enthusiastic about bringing fruit to Ma Xiaoyao and making tea for Ma Xiaoyao.

At this time, Gu Ruolan walked down from upstairs and saw Ma Xiaoyao sitting on the sofa, and suddenly looked surprised: "Brother Ma, when did you come!" ”

Ma Xiaoyao stood up from the sofa and said with a smile: "Just came here for a while, are you going out?" Ma Xiaoyao saw Gu Ruolan hanging a beautiful bag on her arm, and it seemed that she was going to go out.

"yes, I'm out on some errands." Gu Ruolan smiled and said, "Brother Ma, listen to my sister, did you go to the grassroots level to be the head of the township?" ”

Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Yes." ”

"How? Isn't the conditions in the countryside very hard? Gu Ruolan asked.

"It's okay, it's not comparable to the city......" Ma Xiaoyao said.

"Buzz ......"

There was a sound of the phone vibrating.

Gu Ruolan opened her bag, took out a pink mobile phone, and hung up after listening to a few words: "Brother Ma, I have left beforehand, and I will chat with you later." After saying that, Gu Ruolan raised her feet and walked towards the door.

"Will you come back for dinner at noon?" Guli asked.

"If you don't come back, you can eat with Brother Ma." Gu Ruolan walked out of the house without looking back.

"Ma Xiaoyao, come, sit down, I'll tell you something." Guli greeted.

Ma Xiaoyao sat on the sofa and looked at Gu Li suspiciously: "What's the matter?" ”

Gu Li glanced at Ma Xiaoyao: "After the Spring Festival, Li Ming will be transferred to Dongcheng County as the executive deputy county magistrate." ”

"What?" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly widened: "Sister Gu, you said that Li Ming is going to Dongcheng County to be the executive deputy county magistrate?" ”

Gu Li nodded: "Yes." ”

"This ...... What's going on? is good, how could Li Ming be transferred to Dongcheng County as the executive deputy county magistrate? Ma Xiaoyao's face was ugly.

"Alas......" Gu Li sighed: "At first, I didn't agree, but Secretary Liu personally recommended Li Ming to go to Dongcheng County as the executive deputy county magistrate, and I really can't oppose it......" Gu Li is also very helpless, she is very aware of the grudge between Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming, so at first she strongly opposed Li Ming to go to Dongcheng County, but in the end, Liu Yun, secretary of the municipal party committee, personally recommended Li Ming, so that Gu Li would not be able to oppose it anymore.

Ma Xiaoyao's cheeks bulged: "How can Secretary Liu help Li Ming speak?" ”

Gu Li shook her head: "I don't know the specific reason, but according to my guess, it must be Li Yongchang who went to Liu Ji to help Li Ming speak because of his feelings. ”
