Chapter 31
More than half an hour later, Ma Xiaole finally waited for a tractor pulling Huangsha. He took out a cigarette and waved, and the tractor stopped.
The middle-aged man driving the tractor looked at Ma Xiaole and felt that he was not old enough to smoke. However, looking at his demeanor, he looked like a seasoned man, so he asked: "Where are you going, young man?"
"Shagang Township Resident!" Ma Xiaole couldn't help but said, strode onto the tractor, and handed over the cigarette. The middle-aged man took the cigarette, looked at it, took out the matchbox, and smiled proudly, "Not bad, big
By the front door!”
"It's not something you smoke often, otherwise no one can afford it." Ma Xiaole also lit one himself, "But when I'm out, I occasionally buy a box to show off my face."
"Haha, I can't tell, you are quite worldly at such a young age." The middle-aged man smiled and continued to bump along the tractor while operating the tractor.
During the walk, the two of them talked about everything and had a great time chatting. They didn't feel lonely at all. Before they knew it, they had arrived at the Shagang Township station.
Ma Xiaole jumped off the tractor, said thank you and walked towards the street. Due to the long bumps, he still felt that his whole body was shaking and his mind was not clear. He seemed to be hallucinating, so he had to lean against the big tree on the street to stabilize himself for a while.
God, just stepped forward.
The crowd gradually became bustling, and bursts of noise could be heard. There were really a lot of people on the street. There were many small businesses on both sides of the street, with everything from food to clothing to entertainment.
Although everything looked messy, it showed a different kind of liveliness. To exaggerate, it could be considered prosperous.
Ma Xiaole walked among the crowd, touched the forty yuan in his pocket, and pressed it hard for fear of losing it. After passing the crowded intersection, he came to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, and there was a bookstall next to him.
A stall where you can buy ellipsis books.
The owner of the bookstall was very familiar with Ma Xiaole, "Hey, little classmate, why haven't I been seen for more than half a year? There are a lot of new books. They are quite interesting. Can you buy them?"
"Tch, you're an adult now, and you still play with children's things?" Ma Xiaole looked mature, "I don't care about that anymore. There are so many women around me, and I don't like those tattered ellipsis books anymore. Is it any better?
of?"
"Better?" The bookstall owner curled up his thumbs and put his chin on his head, "Well, based on your situation, I will introduce you to a book of truth and let you test it with practice to see if it is the truth!"
"What book?"
"The Sutra of Joyful Women!"
""Joyful Girl Sutra"?"
"That's right!" The bookstall owner rummaged through the pile of books for a while and took out a crumpled book. "It's a little old, but it contains knowledge. It is said that it was secretly written by the imperial doctor in the ancient palace.
, it was only circulated after a lifetime, and it is a first-class genuine product!"
Ma Xiaole was doubtful, so he took the book and turned a page, and a line of words came into view clearly: Women are not classified into different categories, and those with thick eyebrows must be prostitutes. Ma Xiaole closed his eyes and thought about it, Zhang Xiuhua's eyebrows are very thick! It seems that this book is not nonsense.
of.
Turned another page: People with dimples in their cheeks have a narrow body shape. "People with dimples in their cheeks" are not difficult to understand. They just have dimples on their faces, but what does "a person with a narrow body shape" mean?
?Ma Xiaole couldn't figure it out for the moment. But no matter what, the book was still interesting, so he didn't hesitate and bought it for one yuan and fifty cents.
"Little classmate, can you understand this book? I will choose an easy-to-read book for you." The bookstall owner happily packed the money and took out a copy of "Feng Shui at a Glance", "This book is simple and easy.
It has more uses and is better than the Zhouyi Suanjing you bought last time. You can understand it at a glance."
Ma Xiaole took it and opened the middle and read a paragraph: The roof beams at home must be straight. If the roof ridge is not straight from the outside, then there will be disaster in his family. Even if there is no disaster, it will be difficult to develop...
"Damn it, this book is really good. You can understand it at a glance. Although I have also read "Zhouyi Suanjing", I am so confused that it is not as straightforward as this book!" Ma Xiaole took out the ticket again, "Boss,
Bought it!”
"This little classmate is very discerning. He won't have to worry about not going to college in the future. He can become a Feng Shui master and it will be very popular!" The bookstall owner loaded up the money again and sold two books in a short time. Naturally,
It's happiness.
Of course, Ma Xiaole, who lives in the world, is very concerned about his "identity". He said seriously: "Boss, please don't call me a little classmate. What is that? I am a village cadre now!"
"Village cadre?" The middle-aged man's eyes widened, he pointed at Ma Xiaole and laughed teasingly, "You?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Ma Xiaole raised his head, "I'll be the village chief in a few years!"
"Haha..." the middle-aged man laughed, "You don't have to pay taxes when you brag. In a few years? You can't tell what will happen in a few years. You'd better read "Feng Shui at a Glance" and don't tell the village.
The chief, the township chief, too! If you don’t think well, then just rest, the production team leader has no chance!”
Ma Xiaole was a little confused by what he said. He couldn't help but look down at "Feng Shui at a Glance" and then looked up at the bookstall owner. Suddenly, he felt that the small glasses on the bridge of his nose seemed a bit fairy-like. "Boss, you are still the best. I have to go."
Now, I still need to buy some clothes."
After saying this, Ma Xiaole left in a hurry. He was afraid that the book stall owner would say something unpleasant again.
At the end of the afternoon, Ma Xiaole was so tired that his calves were spinning. But he also bought what he needed to buy, a very decent Chinese tunic suit. He spent twenty-seven yuan to buy it after a lot of effort. But he was not very interested in clothes.
I am interested in the two books I bought, "Joyful Girl Sutra" and "Feng Shui at a Glance".
After shopping, it was time to go back to the village. Ma Xiaole was a little tired, hot and tired. Wouldn't he lose half his life if he walked back? He carried the bag of clothes and moved listlessly along the shade of the trees on both sides of the road.
, he hoped to see an acquaintance riding a bicycle and give him a ride.
Suddenly, Ma Xiaole's eyes lit up and he saw Zhao Ruyi.
Zhao Ruyi's whereabouts were a bit shabby, and he seemed to be shrinking back as if he was afraid of being encountered by an acquaintance. Ma Xiaole quickly followed him, wanting to see what he was up to.
Zhao Ruyi, who was like a thief, entered a barber shop.
The barber shop is built with thin boards. It is light and a bit shabby, which makes it unsightly. But the inside is nice. There are gaudy paintings of women on the walls, with their legs and arms exposed, which is very coquettish. The women in the barber shop are more attractive.
They love to show off, and the skirts they wear are like underpants, but not as long as the underpants, and you can hear their calls for customers from far away.
"Okay, no wonder Zhao Ruyi, a bitch, only goes home once or twice a week, and turns out to be paying rations here!" Ma Xiaole was very angry, "Damn, isn't Liu Shuying soiled by you, a bastard?
What!"
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaole was so angry that she felt dizzy. Liu Shuying was such a good woman, but she was tainted by Zhao Ruyi! He decided to stay and see the situation and see how long Zhao Ruyi could do it.
In the time it took to smoke a cigarette, Zhao Ruyi slipped out in a daze.
Ma Xiaole couldn't hold himself back for a moment, and jumped over with a "poof", "What a beast!" He learned this idiom from his junior high school mathematics teacher.
Zhao Ruyi was suddenly scolded and was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost sat down. When he calmed down and saw that it was Ma Xiaole, he quickly pulled him aside and said, "Xiaole, what is your name? I tell you not to yell, otherwise it will be overheard.
It’s no joke.”
"Are you yelling?" Ma Xiaole shook off Zhao Ruyi's hand, "What did you do in that barber shop?"
"I..." Zhao Ruyi hesitated, tilting his head and stamping his feet anxiously, "I...I didn't do anything?"
Ma Xiaole looked at Zhao Ruyi's look and felt even more disgusting, "Zhao Ruyi, just wait until I go back to the village to publicize you, you are a bad woman who runs a barber shop in the village! Let the neighbors see your true face.
!”
"You...you're talking nonsense!" Zhao Ruyi became a little angry, "Ma Xiaole, please stop slandering others, who ruined a woman?!"
"It's you, Zhao Ruyi! I saw you in the barber shop, acting very sneaky, and it took a while before you came out!" Ma Xiaole showed no sign of weakness.
"Just because I went in does that mean I did it?" Zhao Ruyi's tone dropped. He turned around and looked around. After all, he was a teacher at a rural primary school and he couldn't afford to embarrass this person. "Xiao Le, to tell you the truth, I went in
Yes, but I didn't make any mess, I was just helping others contact each other." He pulled Ma Xiaole aside.
Ma Xiaole's mind flashed, and what happened at the bridge in the south of the village at noon that day came back to his memory. It was probably Zhao Ruyi who was helping Lai Shungui contact him? However, he didn't say it out loud. He had to pretend not to know about it, otherwise he would be in trouble in front of Lai Shungui.
He felt unnatural, "What are you talking about, are you doing it for others?"
"Yes, just for others, but I can't tell you who that person is." Zhao Ru felt that the situation had improved, and immediately said to Ma Xiaole in a flattering manner, "Xiao Le, do you think I am looking for a bad woman?
, your Aunt Shuying is so kind, how can I have the intention to look for it outside? Besides, your aunt..." Zhao Ruyi stopped here, paused and then said: "You are still young, there are some things
I don’t understand, I won’t tell you anymore, I’m innocent anyway.”
Ma Xiaole knew what Zhao Ruyi wanted to say. Although Liu Shuying was very virtuous, she was very capable in that area. If Zhao Ruyi couldn't serve her, how could he still have the energy to mess around. "Oh, that's it, since you are in trouble.
It's inconvenient to say, so I won't ask, but this is definitely not a good thing." Ma Xiaole rolled his eyes and thought about it, "Teacher Zhao, are you going back to the village now?"
"If you don't reply, what's the matter with you?" Zhao Ruyi looked obedient.
"Oh, it's nothing. I came to the countryside to buy clothes. I'm tired from walking. The road back to the village is so long that I can't walk anymore. It would be nice if someone could take me on a bicycle." Ma Xiaole said with a sad face.
"Oh, this is easy to talk about!" Zhao Ruyi became more energetic, "Then I will go back to the village today and take you for a ride on my bicycle. How about it?"
"Well, that's ok, it's all thanks to Teacher Zhao." Ma Xiaole laughed.
