Chapter Eighty-Five: Good Things Are Grinding
Southern Shaanxi refers to the Hanshui River Basin, which is bordered by the land of abundance in the south and is deeply influenced by Sichuan culture, with comfort, leisure and affluence being the distinctive characteristics of this region. In addition, the majestic Qinling Mountains form a natural barrier in the north, making the Hanshui area relatively closed and free from war, so for a long time, the Hanshui area has maintained relative social stability and prosperity. As a result, the commercial and trade activities in this region have maintained continuity for a long time under certain circumstances.
Majia Town is located in the southeast of Hanzhong, about 100 miles away from Hanzhong. If Majia Town has a history of about 200 years, it was formed as a village during the Kangxi Dynasty. As the name suggests, Majia Town has a majority of "sexual" horses, and about two-thirds of the people in the town have the surname Ma. They came here from Gansu to escape the war. Since it is relatively safe, it is settled here. Mr. Ma is 55 years old this year, relying on the foundation left by his ancestors. Although it did not recreate its glory, the family business left by his ancestors was able to develop smoothly.
When the Ma family reached Ma Kai's generation, there was only one male. Therefore, Mr. Ma pinned all his hopes on his son, hoping that he would be an official and glory to his ancestors in the future. But the son can't be taught, and his son's running away from home hit him too hard. There has been no news for several years, and Mr. Ma's original nonsensical thoughts have long since disappeared, and all that remains is deep regret. There has been no news of his son running away from home, and Mr. Ma guesses that his son is basically gone.
In order to continue the fireworks of the Ma family, the old man Ma took the initiative to recruit a son-in-law for the second daughter, and the son-in-law was the second son of the Jin family, a big family in Majia Town. It stands to reason that the Jin family is not short of money and should not take the initiative to be a son-in-law. As the saying goes: no profit is not early. First, the Jin family took a fancy to the property of the Ma family, and second. The second son of the Jin family is "fascinated" by the beauty of the second miss of the Ma family. The son-in-law of the Ma family ran away from home and has not been heard from so far, so the Jin family naturally knows.
Getting back to the point, Ma Lan shouted and ran into the Ma family compound to report the good news, which immediately caused an earthquake in the Ma family. After a while, Old Man Ma, Mrs. Ma, and Ma Lan surrounded the second sister Ma Dan and the maids and servants of the family, and appeared in front of the house to look forward. Everyone has a different expression. As the head of the family, Old Man Ma is calm on the surface, but he is very happy in his heart. The constant trembling of his beard shows that he has suppressed his feelings and "exposed". Mrs. Ma was not, and her great joy made her unsteady on her feet, and she could barely stand with the help of two maids. Now. Mrs. Ma's eyes were full of tears and her lips trembled.
Ma Kai was a little sad to see his parents. Daddy's hair was visibly gray, and self-blame and guilt welled up in my heart. "Father, mother, the unfilial son and son are back, please punish your father!" After Ma Kai finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. Old Man Ma said majestically: "You still know filial piety, it's just enough to run away from home without permission, it's so difficult that you don't even bother to write a letter to your family, don't you have this home in your heart for a long time?" "My son is on the battlefield because he is afraid that his family will worry. Therefore, no contact was made with the family. Mackay argued.
"The son fought for the country, and Lao Tzu was supremely glorious. How do you know we can't think of it. I ask you if you haven't embarrassed Lao Tzu! "Old Man Ma's attitude has eased a lot." Father! How can a son disgrace you, I am now a major in the Wehrmacht! It was obtained by exploits in war. "Hmm! It's pretty much the same, it's like my son! "Dad, you forgive me!" "Stinky boy, if you don't act like a dog, I can't forgive you."
"Mother! Your son's unfilial piety makes you frightened! "Ma Kai came to his mother. With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Ma stroked her son's cheeks with both hands and said, "Since you left home, I have prayed to the Buddha every day for my mother, and the Buddha finally appeared and my son returned safely. "Okay, don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, son, this hero is." Old Man Ma asked. "Daddy! This is my comrade-in-arms Li Tie, brother in life and death! "Juniors meet their uncles and aunts!" Li Tie bowed. Ma Lan took the opportunity to introduce her teacher Hu Mei, and the atmosphere suddenly began to liven, and Ma Fu had not been so lively for many years.
Next, the reception banquet began, and Ma Kai then drank and recounted how to apply for the Shanghai Military Academy, how to fight in the Inner Mongolia grassland, how to train in the Northeast, and how to fight in the south and the north after running away from home, but did not mention the number of the special forces, after all, the special forces are confidential at the moment. Ma Kai has been observing the second sister during the narration, and others have listened to it with relish, but the second sister has a sad face, and occasionally "shows" a smile is very reluctant. [ ] Overthrow of the Qing Dynasty 85
Ma Kai asked: "Dad, I heard that the younger sister said that you found a son-in-law for the second sister, which made the Ma family a miasma." Dad, you have always been shrewd, even if you find a son-in-law, you have to find a good person, what kind of goods is the second son of the Jin family, he is a bastard when he is young, isn't this throwing his sister into the fire pit? "Usually, whoever wants to say that the son-in-law is not, the old man Ma will immediately be angry. Therefore, after Ma Kai finished speaking, everyone was silent.
Old Man Ma sighed and said: "This is the biggest mistake I have made in my life, in order to continue the Ma family's incense ghost 'fan' mind." Now that the wood is done, it has to be like this. "Second sister, tell me the truth with my brother, how are you doing?" "Big brother, I'm doing well." Ma Dan's pale cheeks and the sorrow on his brow were impressive. Mrs. Ma suddenly said: "Child, I'm not afraid of shivering in front of everyone, you don't know what Dan'er's life is." This door-to-door aunt is idle all day long, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling everything, and recently I heard that there is a kiln sister outside. With a bang, Ma Kai slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "This bastard! "Dude, I'm going to slaughter this kid!" Li Tie pulled out his pistol, and the two of them showed a fierce and vicious expression, a thick murderous aura, and everyone present was uneasy. "Kyle, don't be reckless." Old Man Ma was shocked when he heard this. 、
"Li Tie, we are not bandits, there is no killing to be killed, I will deal with this matter. Dad, I know you have a hard time, how about letting your son deal with it? Old Man Ma didn't know if it was okay, so he got up and left his seat and walked away. Now that his son has returned, he must establish his prestige. After Mrs. Ma left, Ma Kai asked the second sister: "I took a leave of absence from the fat man and kicked him out of the house, are you willing?" Ma Dan was shocked and said: "It's all up to the eldest brother!" He said he covered his face and ran away.
Ma Kai shouted and brought a pen, and after a while, the maid brought paper and a pen, and Ma Kai waved it. At this time, the fat man came back when he heard the news, this guy was full of alcohol, and he shouted when he entered the door: "I heard that the eldest brother is back and has become an officer of the Wehrmacht, which is really gratifying." This guy was drunk-eyed and recognized Ma Kai, and hurriedly came to the front and said: "Big brother, you don't know me anymore, I am a golden fat man, I forgot that you often bullied me when I was a child, I didn't expect that we are now a family." ”
Seeing Ma Kai staring at him coldly, the golden fat man squinted his eyes and said, "Big brother, you are returning to your hometown with honor and triumphant, brother-in-law has a drink with you, come here, serve me wine." "The people around were indifferent. This kid is usually used to showing off his might. Seeing that the people around him ignored him, he continued to shout: "Wife, serve me wine." Li Tie stepped forward and kicked the golden fat man to the ground and scolded: "Fuck serve you wine, you are only worthy of feet." ”
The golden fat man called like a pig: "You, you, why are you beating me!" Ma Kai stopped Li Tie and continued: "Golden fat man, you have made the Ma family into a miasma in the past two years, and I will not care about this account." Under the new Imperial Marriage Law, men and women were free to marry. With the consent of my second sister, I now announce the dissolution of your marriage, and from now on you are not allowed to set foot in the Ma family again. Li Tie threw Xiu Shu on the face of the fat man and scolded: "Don't get out of here!" ”
"I want to go to the government to sue you, set up a private court, and dissolve the marriage contract!" Fat Li crawled away. The news that Ma Kai, as an officer of the National Defense Army, returned to his hometown with honor has already spread in Majia Town. In view of this situation, the Jin family did not dare to entangle, and the Wehrmacht was not easy to mess with these years, so they had to consider themselves unlucky. In the past few years, the Ma family has been full of people, and there was an endless stream of people who came to the Ma family to congratulate them that day, almost breaking the threshold of the Ma family.
That night, in the living room, Mr. Ma, Mrs. Ma, and Ma Kai were seated. Mrs. Ma sighed and said, "Son! Did you rush the "fuck" away, you drove the fat golden man away, what should you do with your sister at a young age? "Dad, mother, don't worry, my sister's marriage will be on me in the future!" At this time, Ma Lan came in and said: "Dad, mother, the officers in the army don't care about women who remarry, I believe that the eldest brother will definitely be able to choose a wishful husband for the second sister." ”
"Mouthy, a big girl is not ashamed, you are not young, when you reach the age of marriage, it is time to think about your own affairs!" Mother said angrily. "Mother, my marriage is a big event, you don't have to worry about it. I don't want to get married, I want to continue my education, and I want to be a female gentleman like Sister Hu. "Nonsense, where do women want to learn more and what to do, the orders of their parents, and the words of the matchmaker cannot be changed." Old Man Ma reprimanded. "Big brother!" Malan began to plead.
Ma Kai said with a smile: "Father, mother, now that the empire is full of weather, women are required to come out to work like men, and my little sister has such ambitions, we should support it." Since she wants to be a female gentleman, don't stop her. After all, Old Man Ma doted on his young daughter and said, "Since your eldest brother intercedes for you, let the net open." But the ugly words are ahead. If you can't get into the Jingshi Academy, you won't be able to do it. ”
At this moment, Li Tie suddenly broke in and knelt down and said: "The second elder is above, and the younger generation has something to ask for!" (To be continued.) )
