After 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Chunyan withdrew her deposit at the credit union and came to the dormitory, where Ma Xiaofei just woke up from a nap.

The two began to pack their luggage, mainly Ma Xiaofei's clothes, as well as three or four hundred books.

After packing her luggage, Xia Chunyan opened her handbag and took out a few stacks of banknotes:

"Just now, Xiaofang's parents came to negotiate, the barber shop transferred a total of 8,000 yuan, and today gave 4,000 yuan, and Xiaofang will take over tomorrow.

I also took out all the deposits of the credit union, there are a total of 58,000 here, you can help me keep them first. ”

Ma Xiaofei took the money and put it in the shoulder bag that Xia Chunyan bought for him.

Xia Chunyan said again: "Xiaofei, I haven't told my mother about you yet, let's be together quietly first, okay?" ”

Ma Xiaofei was stunned: "Sister Yan, what are you thinking?" ”

Xia Chunyan said: "Xiaofei, I don't care in Jinyang, in Long'an Town, you don't care, I care." I don't want you to be looked down upon by others because of me. ”

Ma Xiaofei hugged her in his arms:

"Sister Yan, life is a lifetime, grass and trees are autumn, why should we live in the eyes of others, just live for ourselves.

I know what you mean, over the years, Auntie has also endured a lot of gossip, and she is lonely when she stays alone in Long'an.

Next year, when Hailong passes the college entrance examination, he will let his aunt go to the city as well.

She's only 41 years old, and she should have another family, so let's help her find one in the city.

If Hailong doesn't do well in the exam, when the time comes, I will help him contact Jinyang to repeat his studies......"

Xia Chunyan was silent for a while and shook her head: "Xiaofei, my mother is too bitter, and she has been sad all her life, I persuaded her, she doesn't want to start a family anymore." ”

Ma Xiaofei comforted: "In the past, it was forced by life, and when the living conditions improve, I believe that Auntie will change her concept."

In two years, when our career is successful, we will return to Long'an Town, and now those gossiping will only slap your ass with a shy face.

This society, in the final analysis, still relies on strength to speak. ”

Xia Chunyan thought about it and smiled slightly: "That makes sense." ”

Today is the day of the market, Xia Chunyan is busy going to the barber shop again, and she has to stand on the last shift.

Ma Xiaofei went to the office and made an appointment to hand over the extra-budgetary accounts with the director Zheng Dagui in the afternoon, and also to reconcile the accounts.

It was busy until half past six in the evening that Ma Xiaofei finished handing over the accounts.

After 9 o'clock in the evening, Ma Xiaofei rode a bicycle and took Xia Chunyan home.

Xia Chunyan was carrying 6 boxes of Dong'e Ejiao in her hand, which were health and nutrition products bought by Ma Xiaofei in Jinyang, 38 yuan a box.

In this era, the advertisements for health care products are overwhelming, such as Duoer, Juneng Calcium, Mrs. Oral Liquid, Turtle and Turtle Pills, Ginseng Royal Jelly, Detoxification and Beauty Capsules......

Ma Xiaofei knows that these things are all subject to IQ tax, but Ejiao is a real material, suitable for women to replenish qi and blood, and has good nutritional value.

In the small courtyard of Xia Chunyan's house, as soon as the iron gate was opened, a big wolf dog jumped out and flattered the two of them.

Soon, a woman in her early 40s, neatly dressed, who did not look like a peasant woman, was greeted from the hall.

This is Xia Chunyan's mother, called Xia Yulan, and Xia Chunyan takes her surname.

Xia Yulan is a hard-working woman, who came to Long'an Town from the provincial capital to be an educated youth, because she was born beautiful, she was occupied by a leader for two years, and she was pregnant with Xia Chunyan.

This man soon died again, and drowned in a weir pond after drinking.

Xia Yulan had no choice but to find an honest and honest farmer, who was nearly 10 years older than her, to marry, and a few years after marriage, she gave birth to a younger brother who was 6 years younger than Xia Chunyan.

This farmer is named Liu Changsheng.

Xia Chunyan's younger brother is Liu Hailong, who just turned 17 this year and is in his second year of high school in the county.

Liu Changsheng was not immortal, and died of rabies in the spring of the second semester of Xia Chunyan's sophomore year of high school.

Seeing Ma Xiaofei, Xia Yulan was naturally enthusiastic: "Xiaofei, you haven't been here for a few days, so stay here tonight." ”

Ma Xiaofei was not polite, nodded and smiled: "Okay, Auntie." ”

Ma Xiaofei has lived in Xia Chunyan's house many times, and he is very familiar.

Xia Chunyan handed over the bag containing Ejiao: "Mom, this is the Ejiao that Xiaofei bought for you." ”

Xia Yulan was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Xiaofei, what's the matter with you, you are polite to your aunt." ”

Xia Yulan is knowledgeable and knows that Ejiao is not cheap, and Ma Xiaofei never brought a gift to the door.

Ma Xiaofei said: "I was ignorant before, I always came to the door empty-handed, Auntie, you kill chickens and ducks every time, how can I always eat white food." ”

"If you can come, Auntie will be happy, and you won't be allowed to do this in the future." Xia Yulan accepted the gift with a smile, and then ordered, "Chunyan, Hailong's sheets and quilts have to be changed." ”

Xia Chunyan was about to enter the house to make the bed, but was grabbed by Ma Xiaofei, and her face instantly turned crimson.

But I heard Ma Xiaofei say: "Auntie, I fell in love with Sister Yan." ”

Xia Yulan looked surprised and looked at Ma Xiaofei in a daze: "Xiaofei, this kind of thing can't be a joke." ”

Ma Xiaofei hugged the hot Xia Chunyan in his arms and said seriously:

"Auntie, how could I joke about such a thing, I promise to be good to Sister Yan. During the Dragon Boat Festival, I took Sister Yan back to her hometown to see my parents. ”

Xia Yulan looked serious: "Xiaofei, you have to think about it, you are still so young and a cadre, although Chunyan and Ma Yong have not officially lived for a day, she has also received a certificate and been married." ”

"Auntie, in my heart, Sister Yan is the best, she is beautiful and beautiful, I really like her, I can assure you."

Xia Yulan was silent for a while, and her face gradually looked better:

"Xiaofei, we can be regarded as knowing the roots, and my aunt believes that your words are out of sincerity. You are still young, Chunyan is willing to be with you, so you can deal with it first. ”

Xia Yulan looked at her daughter again: "Chunyan, you make a cup ......of tea for Xiaofei, and then come to my house."

Xia Yulan turned around and went back to the sleeping room, Xia Chunyan pinched Ma Xiaofei's hand again, and whispered:

"You scoundrel, don't even discuss it with me first, and make a surprise attack!"

Ma Xiaofei smiled: "I'm a person who likes to go straight, you know." ”

Xia Chunyan's heart was warm, and she pulled Ma Xiaofei into the hall, made him a cup of tea, and then went to Xia Yulan's sleeping house.

Ma Xiaofei sat in the hall, drinking tea and smoking.

More than 20 minutes later, Xia Chunyan came out, and Ma Xiaofei asked quietly, "Sister Yan, what are you talking about?" ”

"I won't tell you!" Xia Chunyan pulled up Ma Xiaofei, with shyness on her face, "Let's go, help me boil hot water......"

In this era, with the conditions of Xia Chunyan's house, there is no special bathroom.

Xia Chunyan, like Ma Xiaofei, usually takes a bath, and is in a government guest house.

After boiling hot water, Xia Chunyan went to the bathroom to take a bath, and Ma Xiaofei took a shower directly by the pressurized water well in the courtyard......
