Although Ma Xiaole, who was frightened, was a little annoyed and angry, he had to smile when facing the village party secretary.

"It's me, Ma Xiaole, who went back to the village to buy mosquito coils, and there are a lot of mosquitoes in the orchard." Ma Xiaole hurriedly said in a flattering tone, "Secretary Fan, haven't slept so late?" ”

"Little things." Fan Baofa didn't pay attention to what Ma Xiaole said at all, but said in disappointment: "I thought who came to congratulate me." ”

When Ma Xiaole heard this, he scolded directly in his heart, but he had to continue to be sweet, or when the fields were divided at the end of the year, he would have some thin land on the edge of the barren beach, and he would not be able to grow good crops. "Secretary Fan, congratulations, that's for sure, no matter who in the village should come to congratulate. Zaoni was admitted to the county key high school, which is the honor of your family and the honor of the village! He immediately complimented, "No one in our village has ever been admitted before!" ”

When Fan Baofa was said like this, he couldn't help but feel complacent, "Xiaole, did you buy mosquito coils so late?" If you don't get it, I'll get you a plate. ”

Ma Xiaole frowned, and hurriedly replied: "Secretary Fan, I really haven't bought it, the shops are closed." ”

"Zaoni, bring a plate of mosquito coils!" Fan Baofa straightened his neck, turned around and shouted into the house.

Ma Xiaole was so happy when he heard that Sensei was so happy, it was beautiful to be able to receive mosquito coils from Fan Zaoni's hands.

Soon, Fan Zaoni ran out of the courtyard door with small steps, "Dad, what do you want mosquito coils for?" ”

"Give Xiaole, if you live alone in the wilderness, you won't give mosquitoes to eat if you don't have mosquito coils!" Fan Baofa looked like a good person, "This Lai Shungui is really ...... Alas, in the end, it is not my own birth, and it doesn't hurt in my heart. ”

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Fan Zaoni is a big ghost, and she knows that Fan Baofa said inappropriately, "Can you see when people are in pain?" After speaking, he shook the mosquito coil and walked over to Ma Xiaole.

"Zaoni, congratulations, you have won glory for Xiaonanzhuang Village!" Ma Xiaole's outstretched hand trembled a little.

"You can talk." Fan Zaoni said angrily, "Ma Xiaole, you should tell my dad this kind of thing, I don't like to hear it." As soon as the words fell, she threw the mosquito coil into Ma Xiaole's hand and turned around and entered the yard.

"This girl, there is no shortage of ability, but I have been spoiled, and I don't know what to do!" Fan Baofa seemed to count Fan Zaoni's words, full of pride and pride, after he lit a cigarette, he said: "Xiaole, if you congratulate you just now, you will also come to drink the wedding wine tomorrow, why are you and Zaoni also classmates." ”

"Ouch, okay, Secretary Fan, I'll definitely come! Come by all means! Ma Xiaole nodded and walked away, almost trotting all the way to the orchard. I was happy, I was lucky tonight, not only watched Zhang Xiuhua take a bath, but also was invited to a wedding banquet by the village party secretary.

When he was about to arrive at the orchard, Ma Xiaole heard Ah Huang scream twice. Isn't it a thief at home? He spread his legs and strode away.

The courtyard door was open, and someone must have come, and there seemed to be a figure in the house.

"Who?!" Ma Xiaole asked loudly, and by the way, he also gave himself courage, "I can lead the dog, let go of the dog that bites you!" ”

"Bunny!" There was a shout from inside the house, "What are you talking about?!" I'm your godfather! ”

"Oh, godfather." Ma Xiaole raised his feet and entered the courtyard, "It's so late, what are you doing here?" ”

Ma Changgen walked out of the house, "A night owl? Running out in the middle of the night and having a. ”

"What, I'm going to the village to buy mosquito coils."

"Isn't there a mosquito net?"

"Got a couple of holes, it didn't work."

"Your godmother just bought it, why are there several holes? You must have smoked and burned it! ”

Ma Xiaole touched his head and didn't speak.

"Mosquito nets cost a lot of money, don't worry about it." Ma Changgen didn't complain any more, "Did you buy mosquito coils?" ”

"No, the shops are closed, but Fan Bao sent me a plate."

"Secretary Fan?" Ma Changgen almost didn't believe it, "Did he give you mosquito coils?" ”

"yes." Ma Xiaole said very angrily, "He also invited me to drink tomorrow!" ”

"Please?" Ma Changgen's eyes widened.

"Fan Zaoni and I are classmates, what's wrong with inviting me?"

"Hey, the little one is so beautiful, I think eighty percent of it is Secretary Fan who drank too much and talked nonsense." Ma Changgen patted Ma Xiaole's head, "Hurry up and go to sleep in the house, I will sleep here, I have to get up early tomorrow, there is still work to do." ”

Ma Xiaole nodded, entered the house, and after going to bed, picked up "Zhou Yi Sutra" and read it again.

"You kid, what's the use of watching these things all day long, read more books before you have the ability, and how good it is to be able to pass the Mingtang exam like Fan Zaoni, so how good your godfather and I will have!" Ma Changgen said and sighed, "Alas, I don't have that chance anymore!" ”

At this time, Ma Xiaole's mind was not in the book, he was still thinking about Fan Baofa's words in his mind, so he said: "Godfather, according to me, Fan Baofa is not drunk at all, he is not talking nonsense, he did ask me to come to his house tomorrow to drink." ”

"Okay, okay, then you go and take a look, it's strange if you don't get blasted out!" Ma Changgen pouted and said.

Ma Xiaole knew that he couldn't talk to Ma Changgen, so he touched the back of his head and laughed, and talked about something else, "Godfather, why did you come to sleep in the orchard tonight?" ”

"I had a fight with your godmother, that stinky woman is getting worse and worse, I'm so tired all day that my bones are about to fall apart, and she still has to toss around all day long, isn't she looking for a fight!" Ma Changgen said angrily.

"Godfather, what do you mean?" Ma Xiaole didn't quite understand.

Ma Changgen frowned and glanced at Ma Xiaole, "Go, go, what do children know?" I'm guilty of telling you. ”

Not to mention that it was just right, Ma Xiaole didn't bother to listen, so he lit mosquito coils, turned over and fell asleep.

The next day, a rooster crowed, and a new day began.

The fish white in the east is gradually rising, and Xiaonanzhuang Village is still sleeping.

The mist in the orchard was light, and the ripe apples were reddish, like a smiling little girl. There are still a few begonias in the orchard, and the small yellow-green fruits hang heavily on the branches, looking heavy joy and pleasant tranquility. There are also some watermelons, melons, cucumbers, and gourds under the fruit trees, and Ma Changgen takes care of these melons and fruits, which is one of the best in the village.

The large crops around the orchard are lush and growing well. A large field of peanuts in the south grows the most crazy, and the green lala seedlings are like inflated, they have reached their peak, and then, all their nutrients will be slowly transferred to the peanuts, and in a few months, they can be harvested.

When the sun came out, Ma Changgen had already chopped a large pile of firewood in the yard, and when he saw that the time was about the same, he called Ma Xiaole to get up, "Xiaole, get up and prepare to go back to the village for dinner!" ”

"I'll sleep a little longer." Ma Xiaole said in a daze.

"I'm still sleeping a fart, and I've got a lot of work in the morning." Ma Changgen raised his throat, "Don't eat breakfast if you don't eat it!" ”

Hearing this, Ma Xiaole reluctantly got up, stretched his waist, and said, "Godfather, what do you have to do in the morning?" ”

"The drainage ditches in the fruit tree field are all silted, and we must open them quickly, in case it rains heavily and it is waterlogged, what fruit will it bear in the coming year?!" Ma Changgen said with a straight neck.

Ma Xiaole's face grew as soon as he heard it, the work was purely tiring, the fruit tree branches pressed people so hard that they couldn't straighten their waists, bent over to dig the soil, and their backs hurt within a few clicks.

There's no way, if you don't go to school and stay at home, you're just the material for doing crop work.

Ma Xiaole followed Ma Changgen home.

Walking along the riverside path to the village, looking at the reeds swaying in the wind in the river, and listening to the call of the waterfowl inside, Ma Xiaole couldn't be more envious. The little birds are free, the reeds are enough, and there are large fields of crops on the riverbank, and they can fly wherever they want, catch insects and frolic around, and no one cares.

As he was walking, the second stunned man climbed up from the river embankment, carrying a snakeskin bag in his hand, and looked at it in a daze.

"Wow, two stunned!" Ma Xiaole walked over and shouted, so frightened that he was stunned.

"What do you want?" The second stunned man asked slowly.

"What's that?" Ma Xiaole stared at the snakeskin bag and said, "The ghost is like a thief." ”

The second stunned man grabbed the mouth of the bag tightly, "What do you care, I caught it anyway, and I didn't steal it." ”

Ma Changgen also came over, and directly opened the snakeskin bag in the second stunned man's hand and looked at it, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Good guy!" Such a majestic eel, after making a snack and eating it, it is guaranteed to run all over the village, and the women in the family have to hide quickly, or they will walk with their legs on the next day! ”

"Godfather, why do you have to walk with your legs shut?" Ma Xiaole asked with a smile.

"Children don't understand, don't mix blindly." Ma Changgen only smiled and said to the second stunned man, "Second stunned, give me the eel, you can go to my orchard, you can eat anything, you can eat as much as you want, although your stomach is full, but you can't bring it home!" ”

The second stunned stared at him with big eyes, pondered for a long time, and said, "Then I'll give you half of the eel, and then go to your orchard to eat half of it, what's the matter?" ”

"Hehe, this kid isn't stunned." Ma Changgen touched the head of the second stunned man and said, "What are you going to do with half of the eel?" ”

"Leave it to my dad, or he'll beat me up."

"Hehe, okay, half is half." Ma Changgen said as he folded a willow strip, peeled it into slippery strips, and pierced three large eels.

"Uncle Changgen, you, don't pick the big one!" The second stunned looked at the eel in Ma Changgen's hand, and was very reluctant.

"Is that still different? Go into my orchard and pick the big fruit to eat, the greatest. ”

The second stunned hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "That's okay!" ”

Ma Changgen ran home happily carrying the eel, and Ma Xiaole followed behind and gasped for breath.

"it!" As soon as Ma Changgen entered the door, he shouted, "Look what did I get?" ”

"What are you doing here, stay in the orchard if you have the ability!" A neutral voice rushed out of the stove room, and then a thick and fat woman came out with a water scoop.

The woman's name is Hu Aiying, and her figure is a little richer, but her appearance is quite thoughtful.

Ma Changgen didn't speak, and lifted the eel in his hand and shook it for a while, "What else are you calling, look at this, stew me wine at night, see if you have any opinions!" ”
