Accidentally entered a high gate

Ma Lixing raised his hand and tapped the bowl. "You little rascal! Your second uncle is telling you this for two reasons: first, to let you know this is true; and second, to let you know that you should refuse when you need to. Your second uncle, your father, and your eldest uncle work so hard not only for the country and the people, but also for you. You understand what your second uncle means, right?"

The four siblings replied, "Understood." The higher the positions of their eldest uncle, second uncle, and father, the more confident they felt and the more easily they could refuse.

Seeing that they understood, Ma Lixing changed the subject.

Meanwhile, Yan Chongde relayed Ma Lixing's reply to Yan Lingxiu. "Are you prepared to give up? Or are you prepared to continue trying?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingxiu immediately replied, "Of course I'll keep working hard!" After his colleagues learned that he had been admitted to university, their gazes towards him changed.

He started working right after graduating from high school.

People in his workplace used to look at him with the kind of look that said, "This kid only got the job because he has a powerful father; otherwise, he wouldn't have had the chance to work with them."

Now it's become: This kid actually got into university?! This kid is amazing! They really misjudged him before!

Yan Chongde: "..." He really wanted to give Old Ma's granddaughter a big red envelope. Unfortunately, he didn't even have the right to meet her. "Okay! Dad supports you."

Zhang Meijuan: "..." It's over! She might really never have a grandson. "Mom...Mom supports you too."

"Thank you. I'm going back to my room to read."

Yan Chongde: "Go."

Zhang Meijuan: "Don't stay up too late. Learning isn't something that can be done in a day or two."

"I know. Don't worry."

After saying that, Yan Lingxiu went back to his room.

As soon as he returned to the house, Zhang Meijuan began to worry. "You really don't mind having a grandson?"

"Of course I mind."

"Then why are you encouraging him?"

"He's only twenty-four now. Maybe he won't be so fixated on it when he's forty-two. It's never too late for a man to get married, even at forty-two."

Zhang Meijuan: "..." Was her husband trying to comfort her? Or did he really think her son, at forty-two, would be able to see things clearly?

On the other side, Tian Bingqian was extremely envious when he learned that Zheng Chunfang had also been transferred here with Ma Lifeng.

After finishing their business, Tian Bingqian looked at Ma Lifeng and smiled, "Tell me the truth, did you foresee this day coming? Is that why you found a country girl as soon as you went to the countryside?"

"Of course not. My wife came with me because we have a good relationship."

"My wife and I have a good relationship. My wife's job isn't as good as yours, but she just doesn't want to transfer here."

"Your wife needs to help take care of your parents. My parents don't need us to worry about them."

My younger brother and his wife also live in Beijing.

Ma Lifeng: "..." It's really hard to persuade a resentful husband!

"She just thinks the conditions here are bad!"

Ma Lifeng: "..." He decided to stop trying to persuade him. "Then let's build this county into a prosperous mirage."

"good!"

Finally, they stopped complaining.

Ma Lifeng accompanied him to the cafeteria for a meal before returning home.

When Zheng Chunfang saw him return, she asked, "Do you want noodles or dumplings? There's dumpling filling in the fridge."

"Could you make me some dumplings? Just a few, please. I just ate some with Brother Tian at the cafeteria. He's quite upset about it."

"Okay." Zheng Chunfang asked while picking up the dumpling filling, "What's wrong with Brother Tian?"

"Sister Tian doesn't want to be transferred here."

After taking out the dumpling filling, Zheng Chunfang started rolling out the dumpling wrappers. The dough was already prepared. "Sister Tian has a lot on her plate. If I were like Sister Tian, ​​managing both my in-laws and the children, I probably wouldn't have been transferred here."

"That's what I said too. Unfortunately, he won't listen. Now he just thinks his wife dislikes the conditions here. That might be one reason why his wife doesn't want to transfer, but there are definitely other reasons as well."

"Yes. Her eldest daughter will be taking the college entrance exam next year, and her youngest daughter is even younger than Yan Chuan. How could she just leave like that? The only reason I came here with you is because of my parents. With my parents here, I'm not worried at all about Wanwan not getting into university, nor am I worried about Yan Chuan going astray."

Zheng Chunfang chatted with Ma Lifeng while making dumplings.

Ma Lifeng lay on the sofa, resting while chatting with Zheng Chunfang.

Zheng Chunfang is exceptionally efficient at her work.

In a short while, Zheng Chunfang had wrapped more than forty.

Zheng Chunfang asked Ma Lifeng, and Ma Lifeng said that was enough, so Zheng Chunfang went downstairs.

Zheng Chunfang had just put the dumplings into the pot when there was a knock at the door.

"Coming!" Ma Lifeng stood up from the sofa and walked towards the door, thinking: Who else would come at this hour?

Ma Lifeng opened the door and saw Tian Bingqian. He couldn't help but think: Is this guy going to keep complaining? "Brother, what brings you here?"

As Tian Bingqian walked inside, he said, "I came over to freeload a meal. I smell something delicious coming from your house."

Phew... thank goodness she didn't come to complain. He really doesn't know how to comfort a complaining husband. "Didn't you eat enough?"

"I'm full. Your food smells so good."

Ma Lifeng: "..." It's a bit of a headache that my wife's cooking is too good. "Wife, Brother Tian praised your cooking."

"Hahahaha... Brother Tian, ​​please have a seat."

"Okay. Sorry to bother you."

"fine."

A moment later, Zheng Chunfang came out of the kitchen. "Brother Tian, ​​you guys eat first, I'll make you some more."

Tian Bingqian: "Okay. Thank you for your help."

"No trouble at all. Your eldest daughter should be taking the college entrance exam next year, right?"

"Hmm. Wanwan will be taking the college entrance exam next year, right?"

"Hmm. Which university does your eldest daughter want to apply to?"

……

After finishing the dumplings, Tian Bingqian praised Zheng Chunfang again before going back.

After returning home, Tian Bingqian envied Ma Lifeng even more.

But there's no use in being envious; he already had a good match when he got married. He... he just wanted to find someone like-minded. Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore; it's pointless.

The big boss is giving him a chance by letting him step down; he has to do a good job.

Also, his eldest daughter is taking the college entrance exam next year, so his wife has to keep an eye on her. His second and third sons are going through their rebellious phase, and his youngest daughter is still young.

His wife is also very tired in Beijing, and he has to understand her.

If he... if he envies Ma Lifeng, he should go to Ma Lifeng's house for a few more meals.

After thinking it through, Tian Bingqian went to sleep.

The next day, after getting up, Tian Bingqian ate breakfast in the canteen and then went to his office to work.

Ma Lifeng also went to the office after finishing breakfast.

Both Tian Bingqian and Ma Lifeng wanted to achieve something and satisfy the top leader.

Meanwhile, after learning that Ma Lifeng had become the county magistrate, Meng Jinyuan called Meng Shaoqian over. "Your Uncle Ma has become the county magistrate, and Dad has decided to invest in the county where your Uncle Ma is the magistrate."

Upon hearing this, Meng Shaoqian immediately said, "Okay. If it weren't for Uncle Ma, we wouldn't have invested so much money in Shenzhen."

"Okay. You take care of it."

"Okay. I'll go see Uncle Ma tomorrow."

On the other hand, Old Master Chu also knew that Ma Lifeng had gone to become the county magistrate.

Grandpa Chu also called his son over. "Lifeng has gone to be the county magistrate, we should support him."

Upon hearing this, Chu Shiqin immediately said, "I will send someone to contact the investment promotion team from their county later."

"Um."

(Meng Shaoqian is the young man from Hong Kong who wanted to steal Wanwan back to Hong Kong.)

(Chu Shiqin is Yan Min's biological father.)
