Although Ma Dong has never returned home during the more than a month of working in Qianqian Village, he often calls Bai Ruiqi's house at night from the phone of the village committee, and he knows that Bai Lu will basically be at his father-in-law's house during this time period, so that he not only reports to his father-in-law, but also makes his wife feel her husband's concern.

"May 1st" holiday, Ma Dong has no reason not to go home.

Bai Ruiqi's house.

"Mom, I'm back!" Ma Dong said to his mother-in-law Liu Xia, "You and my dad are all right!" ”

Greeting his family cordially, he placed a few white rectangular foam boxes in his arms behind the door, which were filled with strawberries picked from the greenhouse in Qianqian Village.

"Your dad and I are fine!" Liu Xia responded to her son-in-law happily.

Ma Dong changed into slippers and walked into the bathroom.

"Mom, why aren't my dad and Bai Lu at home?" Ma Dong, who walked out of the bathroom, was even fairer and more handsome after careful cleaning.

"The two of them went to the morning market, knowing that you came back today, your father said that you love to eat crucian carp, and the freshness in the morning market."

Ma Dong looked at his watch, it was only past six o'clock in the morning.

He came out of Huang Lili's house at a little after three o'clock in the morning this morning, and when he got on a three-wheeled motorcycle to the city, it was not yet five o'clock.

There was a sound of the door opening outside, Ma Dong quickly got up from the sofa and walked quickly to the door, taking the plastic bag in Bai Ruiqi's hand: "Dad, you didn't take a break early in the morning, and went to buy fish for me." ”

There was half a drop of water in the transparent plastic bag, and a few crucian carp were huddled and swam in it.

"I know you're proud of this, and if you go late, the morning market will go down." Bai Ruiqi smiled and raised the plastic bag in his hand.

At this time, Bai Lu had already entered the house.

"Winter, you're back so early! We thought you would be back by noon, but how? ”

She was dressed in a white tracksuit, with her hair uncombed and unwashed, like a female ghost coming out of the grave.

"I'm like an arrow!" Ma Dong said as he walked to the kitchen, "The township sent it back to me by car!" ”

Bai Lu said: "The township is so good to you!" ”

"That's, who is your husband?"

"Come, let's eat!" Liu Xia said as she put the table down.

"Pony, I don't need you, just Mom, just sit there." Liu Xia snatched the rice spoon in her son-in-law's hand that was preparing porridge.

Bai Ruiqi walked out of the bathroom and said to her daughter: "Bai Lu, you don't even wash your hands when you enter the house, just grab steamed buns, girls' families, they are not formal at all!" ”

"Aren't you in the bathroom?" Bai Lu said strongly.

"No sink in the kitchen? Say you're still stubborn! Bai Ruiqi patted his daughter's head.

"Pony, you're hungry, give me, eat an egg." Liu Xia put a peeled hard-boiled egg into Ma Dong's bowl.

"Thank you, Mom!" Ma Dong seemed to sit next to Bai Lu affectionately, and Bai Lu leaned against him.

Bai Ruiqi said: "Little pony, it's hard to live in the countryside. ”

"Now the rural conditions are not bad, the village committee specially arranged for someone to cook for me, the three meals are quite timely, and the food is also good. Don't worry, Dad! ”

"A few days ago, when the district asked me to attend a meeting, Secretary Niu from Hongfu Township came to see me and said that you did a good job." Bai Ruiqi looked at Ma Dong with a satisfied gaze.

"I'm working hard, Qianqian Village itself has potential to tap, and the township takes great care of me, but it's all for your face."

Seeing that Ma Dong's porridge bowl was empty, Liu Xia served him another bowl.

Ma Dong is really hungry, and the steamed bun in his hand is already the second.

"Ai Bing of the Bureau of Statistics is retiring, no one wants to go to that position, and the organization department takes Niu Jianguo as one of the assessment objects, because the file records that he is majoring in industrial statistics at the University of Electricity, and you have worked with him, how is this person?" Bai Ruiqi asked for his son-in-law's opinion.

"Dad, to tell you the truth, Niu Jianguo has no ability to work, and his reputation in the township is average, you can also learn through Tong Weidong that the two of them have been working together in Hongfu Township for a long time."

Ma Dong didn't want Niu Jianguo to be arranged in the district, although the Statistics Bureau was a Qingshui Yamen, but after all, it was also an organ in the district.

Another reason is that he knows that Niu Jianguo is uncomfortable when he sees Huang Lili, and it is also his pleasure to torture Niu Jianguo.

Bai Ruiqi said: "I know this, Tong Weidong was the party secretary of Hongfu Township before he became the propaganda minister of the district party committee, Niu Jianguo was the township head, and the secretary and the township chief have always been at odds with each other, which township is the same." I went to Tong Weidong to learn about Niu Jianguo's situation, and I am afraid that the information I get will not be very objective. ”

"Dad, you two talk about work as soon as you meet, and you are not idle at breakfast time, are you tired!" Bai Lu snatched the conversation, she hoped that Ma Dong would finish eating quickly, so that she could return to her nest as soon as possible.

"My daughter is right! When you retire, you still care about those things that offend people, and you can just be idle. Liu Xia agreed.

"Good, good. I accept the opinion of the masses! Hehe. Bai Ruiqi pulled the last two mouthfuls of porridge in the bowl into his mouth.

Ma Dong reluctantly returned to his home with Bai Lu.

Bai Lu hadn't been back to his home for a long time, and the house was full of dust, and the furniture, window sills, and floors under the sunlight seemed to have a layer of white hair.

"This lazy woman, it's really ~ enough!" Ma Dong scolded in his heart, so he went to the bathroom to throw a rag, thinking about Huang Lili's home while working - spotless, bright and clean.

"You~ Mom's long stumble, make the house a little cleaner. Still want me back? ! Ma Dong muttered quietly and began to wipe the dust in the living room, he is a person who loves cleanliness.

"Dong, what are you talking about?" Bai Lu took off her coat and asked, "Are you afraid of being buried in the house, as soon as you leave, I don't like to come back alone." ”

"You're alone, what are you doing here? There's not a lot of ash here, I'll just come back and do it! Winter said back. Slowing down the speed of wiping the dust, there is an excuse for cleaning, isn't it just right to avoid the entanglement of white dew?

"Dong, do you miss me?" Bai Lu took out the grilled fish fillet from the refrigerator and put it in his mouth and bit it.

"Yes, I've been thinking about you all my dreams. Every day in my spare time, I think: What is my Bailu doing here? Oh, she must be thinking about me! Ma Dong said as he snorted his mouth in his heart.
