Bai Ruiqi was very happy when he heard that Ma Dong took the initiative to ask to work in the countryside, and asked his wife to make a table of sumptuous dishes for Dong.

"Pony, you are doing the right thing, young people should take the initiative to bear some burdens, when will you be able to see a person's consciousness? It is at this critical juncture. Bai Ruiqi praised, "There is no harm in exercising yourself more!" ”

Ma Dong nodded: "Dad, don't hide it from you, I was very hesitant at the time, after all, Bai Lu and I just got married, and you and my mother are also anxious to hold our grandson, so I feel very sorry for Bai Lu and your second elder, but, but I think this is a good opportunity to show my ability." ”

Although Bai Lu didn't want Ma Dong to leave her and go to the countryside, when she heard her husband say this, she said: "A man should put his career first!" Besides, how big is our Hongyu District? You'll be back on days off. ”

Come back? Wait for me to come back.

Ma Dong said in his heart.

"Mommy has your back, ponies!" Liu Xia has never interfered much with her family's work, and she is also cheering up her son-in-law today.

"Dad, Mom, my family supports me so much, I will definitely make an example!"

"Pony, it's March now, it's still very cold in the countryside, when you go, bring more clothes, Mom has prepared an electric mattress for you, don't forget to take it when you leave in a while."

"Thank you, Mom, I will have to leave for half a year, although Hongyu District is not a big place, but when I come back to see you and my father, I sometimes have a bad time, Bai Lu She is spoiled by your second elder, and when I go, I will have to make your second elder suffer again."

After Ma Dong finished speaking to Liu Xia, he turned his head to Bai Lu and said: "Bai Lu, Mom is also so old, there is dinner in the canteen of the organ in the morning, noon and evening, you just eat there there, don't do it for you every day, Mom has to prepare it specially." ”

Bai Lu said: "The food in the cafeteria is too unpalatable! Besides, don't parents also have to cook, one more person and more pairs of chopsticks! ”

"If you don't come, two dishes for your parents will be enough, but as soon as you come back, you will have four or five dishes, do you think your mother will not be tired?"

Bai Ruiqi listened to Ma Dong's words, and said happily: "Bai Lu, you can have half of the pony hurt your parents' thoughts, and your mother and I will burn high incense!" ”

"Hmph, look at you old couple, since Ma Dong came to the house, he has stolen my limelight!" Bai Lu pretended to pout and leaned her head on Ma Dong.

In order to do a good job in this rural cultural research and collection work, the Municipal Bureau of Culture transferred more than a dozen people from various district bureaus, plus more than a dozen people from the Municipal Bureau and the Municipal Cultural Center, to form a team of more than 30 people, who went to those villages with a certain cultural accumulation to carry out work in groups of two.

The folk paper-cutting art of Hongfu Township is well-known, with the reputation of the hometown of paper-cutting, Ma Dong was assigned here as he wished, and Duan Lian, the deputy director of the Culture and Art Department of the Municipal Bureau, and he was a group, and concurrently served as the team leader.

Duan Lian's family lives in Ningyang City, and the child is just two years old, and Ma Dong can see that the team leader is a little uneasy about the work.

"Team Leader Duan, your child is small, don't stare here every day, just come once a week, and I'll keep an eye on work. Don't worry, we're definitely better than the other groups. ”

Ma Dong handed over the bag containing four boxes of milk powder to Duan Lian's hands.

Duan Lian took the milk powder: "Xiaoma, I've only been here for the third day, so it's not good to leave." ”

"Listen to me, you come every Friday afternoon, when the time comes, I will report to you about the weekly work, what about you, leave a little guidance, and then eat some stupid chicken and duck in the countryside, and then go back."

"Okay. Pony, how hard you've worked! Duan Lian took the milk powder and walked away happily.

If Hongfu Township is the "hometown of paper-cutting", then Qianqian Village is the "village of paper-cutting", Ma Dong chose his residence in the village committee of Qianqian Village, Hongfu Township, and Qianqian Village is the village where Zhao Lan's family is located.

"Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, I didn't expect me to come." On the fourth night of Ma Dong's stay in the village, he came to Zhao Lan's house, and after entering the door, he put two bottles of wine and two boxes of snacks on the box against the wall in the back room.

"Pony, you're a rarity. Quick, sit down! Zhao Lan's mother, Cui Yalan, obviously had an apology on her face.

After Ma Dong sat down, he told Zhao Lan's parents why he came to Qianqian Village.

"I heard you're married? Colt! Zhao Fuduo said.

Since Zhao Lan and Chang Lu fell in love, Zhao Fuduo no longer went to the city to work.

"Hehe, your second elder doesn't agree to marry my daughter, and I can't be a bachelor for the rest of my life!" Ma Dong deliberately made his words clear, mainly to resolve the embarrassment.

"You see, you're so good to our family, but in the end..."

Ma Dong interrupted Cui Yalan's words and said, "Aunt Zhao, it's nothing, isn't it a thousand times better for Zhao Lan to marry District Chief Lu than to marry me?" Who doesn't want their girls to live a life of fine clothes and food. ”

Ma Dong's big eyes kept scanning the house, and he saw that the room had changed a lot.

"Look, this phone has also been installed, and there are few households in Hongfu Township that have a telephone!"

Cui Yalan said: "This is all given by land, saying that if we have something to do, it is convenient to find them." ”

"Is Zhao Lan coming back this week?"

"She said that when she came back, it seemed that she had gone out on land." Cui Yalan replied.

"Oh, how's Zhao Lan's dowry preparation? This April is here, and they are about to get married. ”

Zhao Fuduo said: "On April 8th, what do we old farmers have to prepare?" ”

There was really nothing to say, Ma Dong asked for the Zhao family's phone number, so he said goodbye to the master.

The posts of village party secretary and director of the village committee in Qianqian Village are held by one person, and in the words of the common people, they are called "shoulder-to-shoulder."

This "shoulder-picking" person is Pang Hu, who is 56 or 7 years old this year, and was born with a face full of horizontal flesh, with large facial features and a bald head on his bronze face.

"Boss, I heard that your grandmother is a master of paper-cutting, how can you lose such a cash cow?"

Ma Dong came to the village for a few days, and he was quite familiar with Pang Hu, and he didn't need too many tricks to settle such a dirt bun, and Xiao En Xiaohui was enough.
