Ma Yingjie's writing became smoother and smoother. Just when he was feeling proud of himself, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from his hometown. After he pressed the answer button, his mother's voice came through: "Little Hao, come back quickly. Your father went to the vegetable garden to splash water and fell from the edge of the garden. He's seriously injured."
When Ma Yingjie heard this, his heart suddenly sank. He also knew that if it wasn't a serious fall, his father would definitely not allow his mother to call him. When he was a bachelor, he had been busy making a living. After getting married, An Qi did not like the countryside at all. She only went back to her hometown with Ma Yingjie when they were newly married. It was raining at that time, and the dirt road was full of mud. The chickens, ducks, pigs, and cows were all free-range in the countryside, so there was feces all over the village. The custom in Ma Yingjie's village was that the bride should go to each family to worship. When Ma Yingjie led An Qi there, An Qi accidentally stepped on the cow feces. An Qi was so scared that she screamed. Ma Yingjie, who was walking in front, looked back and saw that An Qi's shoes were all very dirty. After screaming, An Qi said angrily: "What kind of rotten place is this? I don't want to come back for the rest of my life." That day, An Qi did not go to the village to worship. Instead, she quarreled with Ma Yingjie and went back to Wu Du early the next morning. From then on, no matter how much Ma Yingjie begged her, she did not go home with Ma Yingjie.
Ma Yingjie had always felt guilty towards his parents. Raising a son to take care of one's old age was a common saying in the village, but he was extremely unqualified as a son. Now that his father was injured, he had to go back immediately and bring his father to the county town for treatment.
"Mom, don't worry. I'll be right back. " Ma Yingjie comforted his mother and hung up the phone. However, Ma Yingjie hesitated. How could he go back? Ask Cui Yongquan for a car? Then, the news of his father's injury would be spread out, and they would have to put on a big show of giving gifts. Ma Yingjie would really not be able to bear it.
Ma Yingjie paced back and forth in the room. Luan Xiaoxue pushed the door open and asked, "What happened?"
"My mom just called and said that my dad fell and hurt himself. I have to go home now," Ma Yingjie said.
"I want to go too." Luan Xiaoxue looked at Ma Yingjie and said.
"You are in a special period now. The roads in the countryside are not easy to walk. You should stay at home and take care of yourself, okay?" Ma Yingjie refused to let Luan Xiaoxue go. His head was injured and his father was injured. He really didn't have the energy to take care of Luan Xiaoxue.
"Ma Yingjie, let me go. You are also a patient now, and I don't feel at ease letting you go back alone. Besides, I am not that noble. Isn't it just having a child? When my mom was pregnant with me, she carried water and did farm work. Which didn't she do? Aren't I also very healthy now? Ma Yingjie, let me go with you, so that your mom and dad will be more at ease. " Luan Xiaoxue was speaking from the bottom of her heart. When her father and mother were in the countryside, they hoped that her brother would bring his sister-in-law back more often. In this way, in the village, the old people would feel proud. Which parent didn't want their children to be filial? Luan Xiaoxue grew up in the countryside, so she could understand this very well.
Ma Yingjie listened to Luan Xiaoxue and agreed. He was very clear that his parents hoped that their daughter-in-law would come back more often. The more they came back, the more they would feel proud. An Qi didn't want to go home all these years, so his father and mother couldn't raise their heads in the village. Therefore, when Ma Yingjie got divorced, his father and mother didn't blame him. On the contrary, they were more willing to accept Luan Xiaoxue. When Luan Xiaoxue came back to his house, she rushed to do everything. Ma Yingjie could see that his father and mother were very happy those days.
"Luan Xiaoxue, get ready. I'll call a car and leave immediately." After saying this, Ma Yingjie took out the government communication records and searched. He wanted to see if there were any classmates who worked in the government. Since he married An Qi, he lost contact with his classmates. First, An Qi didn't like it. Second, he didn't do well, so he didn't want his classmates to know. Men were like this. When they didn't do well, they didn't want their classmates or friends to know their situation. Now, it was different. He went back to Qin County. Although he was only a deputy county magistrate, his identity and status had entered another level.
Ma Yingjie looked through the communication records, but he didn't find any familiar names. He was a little disappointed. Luan Xiaoxue had already packed up and prepared gifts for her parents. In this regard, Luan Xiaoxue understood the psychology of rural people better than An Qi.
"Let's go." Luan Xiaoxue looked at Ma Yingjie and said. Then, Luan Xiaoxue put a beanie on Ma Yingjie's head as if she was performing a magic trick. Ma Yingjie paused for a second and wanted to take off the beanie. But when he raised his hand, he immediately understood Luan Xiaoxue's intention. If he kept pestering Sha Bu to go back to his hometown, the people in his hometown will surely ask about him. Instead of letting them ask about this and that, he might as well let them laugh at him.
Ma Yingjie put down the hand he was about to raise, but because the car had not been arranged, he still stood there without moving. Luan Xiaoxue looked at him strangely and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The car is not arranged yet." Ma Yingjie was worried.
"Look for Chief Li. Doesn't she have her own car?" Luan Xiaoxue reminded Ma Yingjie.
"She … she had gone to the province, and I don't know when she will be back." Ma Yingjie did not think of looking for Li Xiaomei. When Luan Xiaoxue mentioned Li Xiaomei, Ma Yingjie dialed Li Xiaomei's number. He realized other than her, he does not know who else is more suitable.
Ma Yingjie asked Li Xiaomei. "Is Chief Li back?"
"She is reaching the County. What's the matter with County Mayor Ma? " Li Xiaomei asked worriedly. She was afraid of an accident, and she had used her house as a mortgage. If something happens, she will not be able to do anything. Sigh … … She was a useless Bureau Chief. But it was also because she was not interested in money that she managed to get away with it. If she likes money and likes to participate in all kinds of projects, she will also be involved in Ren Zhiqiang's case. Money was indeed a good thing. But in the government sector, it was not a crime to be an officer who did not like money.
"That's great." Ma Yingjie was overjoyed. He does not need to worry about his car anymore. Everyone in the village knew that he had become the Deputy Mayor. If he took a taxi back to the village, the villagers will laugh at him. Most of the time, people only care about their reputation. Ma Ying Jie couldn't get rid of vulgarity either. Besides, there were all kinds of vulgarity in life, which made people constantly pursue and demand improvement. No one was born to work hard, suffer, and struggle. Many people were forced to do so by their environment.
"Chief Li, my father had fallen and injured, and I need my car urgently. But I don't want the office to know about my father. I'm still worried about the car. "Ma Yingjie hurriedly explained. He said that it was great. It would scare Li Xiaomei.
"Okay, Mayor County Ma. Please wait for another ten minutes. We will be there soon." Li Xiaomei was also relieved. As long as it was not about work, she was relieved.
Ten minutes later, the driver, Xiao Wang, drove the car to Ma Yingjie's residential area. Luan Xiaoxue and Ma Yingjie thanked Li Xiaomei and went straight to Majiawan.
As soon as Ma Yingjie's car entered Majiawan, Ma Daqing, the Party Secretary of the village, got the news that Mayor County Ma was back. He brought a group of people to wait for Ma Yingjie's house. As soon as Ma Yingjie got out of the car, he was surrounded by this group of village officials.
Luan Xiaoxue came out from another car door. No one noticed her, so she quietly slipped into the house. Ma Yingjie's mother stayed by Ma Jianguo's side. Ma Jianguo's neck was sprained, and one of his thighs was in pain. It was very likely that he had a fracture. But when he saw his son surrounded by so many village officials, his dark and wrinkled old face was full of smiles.
Since his former daughter-in-law, An Qi, left Majiawan angrily, Ma Jianguo had a great sense of loss and being a mere figurehead. Although he couldn't describe this feeling, he couldn't lift his head in front of others. It was a custom left by the ancestors for the bride to go to each family to worship, but it was broken by Ma Jianguo's son. Not only that, An Qi didn't go back to Majiawan at all. Finally, the grandson of the Ma family came back, but An Qi didn't let the old couple meet. Occasionally, they went to Wu Du's house, but An Qi also looked at them coldly. He didn't allow them to touch his grandson, saying that their hands were unhygienic and could easily infect the child. "Married a wife, sold a son." This was what the villagers always said when they laughed at Ma Jianguo. These words were like a huge mountain, pressing down on Ma Jianguo. It wasn't until Ma Yingjie married Luan Xiaoxue again and Luan Xiaoxue went to worship each family again that Ma Jianguo dared to raise his face in the village. Unexpectedly, not long after, Ma Yingjie returned to Qin County and became the deputy head of the county. This made the village officials suddenly become close and respectful to him. Although Ma Yingjie used to be the secretary of the mayor, Wu Du was Wu Du, which was thousands of miles away from Qin County. Moreover, the secretary was just someone around the leader. In the eyes of these village officials, only the secretary of the county committee and the head of the county were high-ranking officials. As for the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the mayor of Wu Du, they thought that they were so far away that they could ignore them.
Luan Xiaoxue walked to Ma Jianguo's side and said affectionately, "Dad, Mom, Ma Yingjie and I are back."
Ma Jianguo was so excited that he forgot that he was injured. He struggled to get up, but was stopped by Luan Xiaoxue. "Dad, don't move. They will disperse in a while." Luan Xiaoxue glanced at the crowd outside the door and said to Ma Jianguo lightly.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Ma Jianguo said excitedly.
"Old man, how can you be fine? You were screaming for your life just now. Now that your son and daughter-in-law are back, you forgot the pain? "Ma Jianguo's mother wiped her tears and scolded Ma Jianguo.
"Mom, don't worry. We will send dad to the county hospital now. "Luan Xiaoxue pulled Ma Yingjie's mother's hand and said.
"I don't want to go to the county hospital. The big hospital will cost a lot of money. I don't want to go. "Ma Jianguo shook his head.
