The snow didn't stop, and there were no people on the streets.

Ma Xiaole felt bored, so he went back to the orchard. He had already calculated, although he was going to Liu Changxi's house to drink at noon, he couldn't do without a score, at least he Liu Changxi had to come to invite him in person, or he wouldn't be big enough.

Walking to the head of the village, a group of children were setting off firecrackers, thinking of using any bad ideas, and when they saw a piece of cow, they would poke the firecrackers into it, and run away when they lit the fire. In a matter of seconds, the big lump of cow was blown up into dots of dung particles, scattered in all directions, and if someone happened to pass by, they would be killed.

However, every time this happens, adults are not angry, it is said that it indicates that there will be great fortune in the new year.

Ma Xiaole saw that there were two flutes in the children's pile, and he had a good time. "Xiaokang, come here!" He beckoned to Erlengzi, and now, he no longer calls Xiaokang "Ertunzi".

Erlenzi saw that it was Ma Xiaole, and ran over with a "whoosh", "Xiaole, what's the matter, catch shrimp?" ”

Ma Xiaole wanted to laugh, but couldn't laugh, "Xiaokang, it's so cold that the shrimp are hiding, and you're catching a fart." After speaking, he took out five yuan, "Xiaokang, give you money, go to the store and buy candy cubes to eat." ”

Erlenzi looked at the money, stretched out his hand to take it, but shrank it back, "Don't, my mother said, you can't ask for money." ”

Ma Xiaole tilted his head and thought about it, and felt that it was not appropriate, what kind of business was it to give Erlenzi money, so he put it away and said, "Your mother is really good." ”

"My mother is not good!" When Erlenzi heard this, he said very seriously.

Ma Xiaole was very puzzled when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with your mother?" ”

"My mother will beat people, beat my father."

"Beat your father?" Ma Xiaole doesn't understand, why can he fight? Liu Shuying is not the kind of spicy woman. "Xiaokang, then do you know why your mother beat your father?" He asked again.

"The night before yesterday, I was playing with fire and twisting outside, and when I came home to sleep, I heard my father say that my mother was not clean. My mother was so angry when she heard this, she slapped her father, and then hit another one after the beating. ”

Listening to Erlengzi's tone, he was biased towards his father. It's no wonder, because Zhao Ruyi doesn't go home often, every time he goes home, he brings him delicious food and teases him, so he naturally gets more favor.

"Xiaokang, according to me, your father should be beaten, he is full of nonsense, he should be beaten!" Ma Xiaole said.

"No, I think my father is very good, my mother shouldn't beat him!"

It's not true to be stunned, Ma Xiaole rolled his eyes, "Xiaokang, as long as you say that your father should fight and your mother fights right, I will take you to the river to catch fish, but it's big!" ”

Ma Xiaole said as he gestured with both hands, which was half a meter long.

When Erlenzi saw it, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Okay, my father should fight, my mother hit right!" ”

Ma Xiaole smiled contentedly, "Okay, I'll take you to catch fish, it's much more enjoyable than catching shrimp fucking!" ”

As soon as Erlenzi heard Ma Xiaole say "damn it" in his mouth, he immediately asked him to quench two mouthfuls of spit.

Ma Xiaole asked why, Erlenzi said that you can't swear on the first day of the new year, otherwise you have to talk for a year.

Hearing this, Ma Xiaole smiled, "This must have been said by your mother." ”

Erlenzi nodded.

At this time, Ma Xiaole suddenly had an idea, he wanted to play with Liu Shuying for a while, but it was not good now, he had to talk, and he would take Erlenzi to catch the fish first.

With Erlengzi, the two walked all the way to the river. The river is frozen and thick, and it is fine for people to walk on it, and in winter the river is so deep that it is just overhead.

Ma Xiaole asked Erlenzi to follow him with a big rock, walked towards the middle of the river, and came to a place on the pale blue ice below, and stopped.

"Well-off, hold a stone and smash a hole." Ma Xiaole commanded Erlengzi, and soon smashed a hole the size of a basin.

Ma Xiaole squatted down, fished out the broken ice in the hole, then wiped his hands and lit a cigarette, and said to Erlenzi with a smile: "Wait, there will be fish jumping up in a while." ”

Erlenzi didn't believe it very much, and looked at it with a blank eye. Sure enough, within two minutes, I saw a few fish heads emerging from the ice cave, spitting bubbles out to ventilate.

"There you have it, you really have it!" The second stunned jumped up happily, then squatted down and reached out to grab it.

"Don't move, don't do it, the fish will jump up on its own." Ma Xiaole is confident.

According to past experience, after holding under the ice for a long time, the fish will be so excited that they will jump out of the water to celebrate, while the ice hole is so big that the fish will generally fall on the ice as long as they jump out, and they will not go back.

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Erlenzi had already carried five crucian carp in his hand, each of which was almost two catties.

Seeing that it was almost over, Ma Xiaole kicked the broken ice with his feet and pushed it all into the ice hole, "Okay, if you don't catch it, you will get angry if you catch too many old fish spirits, and it will be difficult to catch it in the future." ”

Back on the shore, Erlenzi was still a little smart, and said that since it was two people catching fish, then divide it equally, two and a half per person, and after speaking, he found a small stone to break the fish.

"Okay, Xiaokang, you take three, I'll take two, don't smash it." Ma Xiaole looked very generous, and carried two of them home.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Liu Changxi came with a leisurely step, "Township leader, let's go, it's almost noon, wait at my house first, play cards or something, it's lively." He was very satisfied that he could become the village chief, and was naturally extremely proud, "Look at this day, the snow is still falling." After speaking, he dusted the snow off his shoulders with his hands, "I'll go to Fan Zhishu's house again, you go first, the red flag and they have all arrived!" ”

"Okay, I'll put the fish down and go." Ma Xiaole took out a cigarette case with one hand, threw one out for Liu Changxi and entered the yard.

Originally, Ma Xiaole wanted to go after Fan Baofa, but generally big cadres and people with status were the last to arrive, but he felt that he was not bored to be more serious with Fan Baofa, so he put down the fish and went.

When she came to Liu Changxi's house, Yao Xiaoyan was very busy, and her work was full of enthusiasm, Ma Xiaole looked at her body full of vigor and vitality, remembered Tian Xiao'e's words, and suddenly had an impulse towards her.

"Sin, sin, sin." Ma Xiaole felt that it shouldn't be, so he immediately said secretly, "It's not feasible to make this mess." ”

With a mouthful of muttering, Ma Xiaole calmed down, but as soon as he looked up and saw Tian Xiao'e sitting in the stove house and burning the fire, he immediately muttered, it seems that the relationship between these two people is really unusual, everything is together, and they dare to say everything, no wonder Yao Xiaoyan will tell Tian Xiao'e his secret.

"Ma ......" Yao Xiaoyan doesn't talk much on weekdays, her face is red and embarrassed when she speaks, she wants to greet Ma Xiaole when she sees her, but she doesn't know what to call it, so she simply doesn't speak.

When Ma Xiaole saw this, he felt that Yao Xiaoyan really had a little taste.

"Yo, the township leaders don't come in when they arrive, and they dry in the snow!" At this time, Xu Hongqi, who was playing cards in the house, stretched his neck and shouted.

Ma Xiaole listened, hurriedly walked to the door, stomped on the snow on his feet, and entered the house, "You guys came early, playing cards on the stove, you can really enjoy it!" After saying that, he took out his cigarette and scattered a row.

Xu Hongqi gave up his seat to Ma Xiaole, played for about half an hour, and began to drink.

The wine is very open, and there is nothing to do during the New Year, just drink it slowly. Ma Xiaole drank happily, and said that he was still here tomorrow, and no one was missing, and they all came to his house, and he wanted to invite wine.

The big guys clapped their hands in unison, saying that whoever doesn't go is the grandson.

Gu Meiyu, who has never been very concerned with Ma Xiaole, also clapped her hands, and the slap was no more boring than others. Although she has an opinion on Ma Xiaole, Ma Xiaole is a person from the township compound after all, and of course she has to be the director of a village women's office, so she will definitely go.

Ma Xiaole looked at Gu Meiyu for a moment, her eyes were very provocative, and she seemed to be teasing.

This made Gu Meiyu a little unhappy, she immediately put down her hand, turned around lightly, tilted her head, and snorted. Ma Xiaole saw it and only smiled silently.

It was close to three o'clock in the afternoon, and the banquet finally ended, and Ma Xiaole staggered to the stove house.

Yao Xiaoyan and Tian Xiao'e were whispering, and when they saw Ma Xiaole coming in, they were a little flustered.

"What's the matter, what are you talking about, why are you panicking when I come?" Ma Xiaole was a little excited, and pointed at Tian Xiao'e, "Tian Xiao'e, are you still not convinced?" ”

Yao Xiaoyan listened, her neck shrunk and her tongue was spit out, and she stepped out to come out. Ma Xiaole grabbed her and smiled, "Xiaoyan, what are you running, let's listen together, don't you and Tian Xiao'e talk about everything." ”

Hearing this, Yao Xiaoyan lowered her head and blushed and did not speak.

Ma Xiaole saw this scene, let go of Yao Xiaoyan, walked to Tian Xiao'e's side and asked in a low voice, "Did you tell Yao Xiaoyan about my ability to rise up?" ”

Tian Xiao'e looked at Ma Xiaole and nodded cautiously, "I mean that well, I have to let Xiaoyan know that your thing is very useful, so that she doesn't have to say anything nonsense to others." ”

"She dares!"

"She doesn't dare, she doesn't dare, where does she dare." Tian Xiao'e hurriedly stood up, pointed outside and whispered, "Don't be so loud, it's not good for people to hear it." ”

Ma Xiaole came back to his senses, turned his head to look at it, walked out of the stove house, and left Liu Changxi's house with Xu Hongqi and them.

At this moment, Liu Changxi was already in bed, and he was drunk before the banquet was over.

As soon as Ma Xiaole and the others left, Yao Xiaoyan hurriedly entered the stove house, "Sister Tian, what did Ma Xiaole say?" ”

"He said that if you say that he is useless, he will teach you a lesson!" Tian Xiao'e said half-jokingly.

"What, Sister Tian looked at what you said." Yao Xiaoyan was embarrassed again, and walked aside shyly.

Tian Xiao'e trembled her eyebrows, laughing at Yao Xiaoyan shy, but said in her heart that she was not shy, so she would go to the orchard to find Ma Xiaole.

In the orchard at this time, in addition to Ma Xiaole, there was another person.

Who?

Yoo Sook-young.

It turned out that Ma Xiaole ran to the outside of the village after coming out of Liu Changxi's house in a daze, wanting to go back to the orchard and sleep well, but he didn't expect to meet Liu Shuying as soon as he left the village.
