Accidentally entered a high gate

"Bring your wife over for lunch tomorrow."

Ma Lifeng: "..." He was more wronged than Dou E. "Second brother, my wife is really not as pretty as my daughter. My wife and I look like ugly bamboo standing next to my daughter."

"Weren't you planning to bring your wife to your second brother's house for lunch tomorrow?"

Ma Lifeng: "..." His second brother was definitely too embarrassed to admit it. He must have been so concerned about him that he hadn't considered that if his wife looked like his daughter, she definitely wouldn't have stayed in the village until she was eighteen. "Second brother, were you guys influenced too?"

"Okay." Ma Lixing said while fastening his belt, "Be careful out there."

"I know, don't worry."

"What about your wife?"

"My wife should be fine; she's quite smart. Besides, her family has been poor farmers for eight generations."

Ma Lixing paused. "You didn't marry your wife because her family has been poor farmers for generations, did you?"

"That's just one of the reasons."

Ma Lixing: "..." Is that really true? "I heard from my mother that your wife wandered into your place because she encountered a wild boar."

"As soon as I arrived at Yanhe Brigade, I asked the brigade leader and found out that there wasn't even a middle peasant in Yanhe Brigade."

"What if she's from another village?"

Ma Lifeng wanted to be mischievous, but he was afraid his second brother would take off his belt again. "Before I told everyone I was going to marry her, I asked her which brigade she was from."

That's more like it. "No matter the reason, since you married her, you should treat her well."

"Hmm." Ma Lifeng leaned closer and whispered, "Will our family be affected?"

Ma Lixing chuckled. "There are five soldiers in our family. Anyone who wants to mess with our family will have to take down our father, our eldest brother, me, your eldest nephew, and your second nephew all at once. Otherwise... hmph!"

Ma Lifeng felt a little relieved. "Second brother, if someone goes crazy and tries to mess with our family, we can use some special methods."

"Um."

Now Ma Lifeng was relieved. "My daughter has exceptionally good hearing. If she needs someone to keep watch, just tell me, and I'll take her with me."

"Aren't you afraid of scaring her?"

"Don't be afraid." He couldn't even scare his daughter. "If our family is doing well, she can do well too. With her looks... if you need her to keep watch, be sure to call me."

"OK."

"Tell me anything else you need to do, I might be able to help. Like this time, if Yan Cheng hadn't told me, I probably would have been blown up."

"Okay. Let's go. I reckon your second sister-in-law and your nephew and niece don't have time to buy food right now."

As Ma Lifeng followed his second brother out, he said with a smug look on his face, "My second sister-in-law and the others definitely don't have time right now. My second sister-in-law saw my daughter and ran off with her in her arms."

Ma Lixing: "..." If his wife hadn't met him, she probably would have become a bandit.

Ma Lixing was a little surprised to see Shen Junyi busy in the kitchen when he came out of the study. "Are you going to cook?"

"I'll make it for Wanwan. You go to the cafeteria to buy food."

Ma Lixing: "..." Couldn't you have done theirs too? "Oh. Wanwan, your second uncle went to buy food. He'll play with you when he gets back."

"Okay." Little Bowl gave him a smile.

Ma Lixing suddenly didn't want to go buy food anymore. "Xiao San, you go buy food. Wanwan, what do you want to play? Your second uncle will play with you."

Ma Lifeng: "..." Fine. Anyway, he knows the way.

After finishing their meal, Ma Lixing and his family all placed their bowls and chopsticks in front of Ma Lifeng. "I have to go to work/school tomorrow, so I don't have time to play with Wanwan."

What else can Ma Lifeng do?

Ma Lifeng resignedly went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

After he finished washing the dishes, Shen Junyi told him that Wanwan would sleep with her that night.

Ma Lifeng was already numb. "Okay."

The next morning, after breakfast, when Ma Lifeng took Wanwan away, Shen Junyi kept telling him to bring Wanwan back for lunch as well.

At noon, after Ma Lifeng brought Zheng Chunfang and Wanwan over, Ma Lixing believed what he said.

After finishing his meal, Ma Lifeng went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Zheng Chunfang wanted to go too, but Shen Junyi wouldn't let her. "It's your first time at your second sister-in-law's house, how could she let you wash the dishes? Tell your second sister-in-law what Wanwan likes to eat? Your second sister-in-law will go and make it for Wanwan on Sunday."

Ma Yanxing: "Auntie, what does Wanwan like to play with?"

Ma Yanning: "Auntie, does Wanwan like wearing little skirts? I want to make a little skirt for Wanwan."

Ma Yanhe: "Auntie, can Wanwan read now? I want to teach Wanwan to read."

……

After cleaning up the kitchen, Ma Lifeng sidled up to his second brother and whispered, "Second brother, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"Hmm. You two, standing next to Wanwan, are indeed like a bad bamboo shoot and a good bamboo shoot."

Ma Lifeng: "..." His second brother doesn't care about him anymore either.

After sitting for a while, Ma Lifeng left with Zheng Chunfang and Wanwan. Everyone else, except Zheng Chunfang and Wanwan, had other commitments for the afternoon.

After leaving Ma Lixing's house, Ma Lifeng pinched Xiao Wanwan's chubby cheeks. "Do you know that because of you, your dad almost got a beating? Do you know that because of you, your dad went from being your second uncle and aunt's precious darling to a dishwasher?"

Little Wanwan sat in her special little chair, tilted her head, looked at her father, and loudly replied, "I don't know."

Ma Lifeng: "..." How could he not know? "You little rascal! Do you want to try what bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork tastes like?"

Upon hearing this, Little Bowl immediately asked, "Can I eat stir-fried meat now?"

"You little glutton. The bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork that Daddy was talking about is actually spanking your little bottom with bamboo."

Little Bowl was very disappointed. "Hmph!" She was going to tell her grandfather and her second uncle!

……

After dropping the mother and daughter off at home, Ma Lifeng went to work.

Ma Lifeng had only walked a short distance into the steel mill when he saw Tian Jinglan. There was a young woman with her. Ma Lifeng tried to pretend he didn't see her, but he shared an office with Tian Jinglan. "Sister Tian."

"Oh! This is my niece. She's helping my sister deliver something to me. My sister and my niece both work at the post office. My niece's surname is Yan, and her name is Sihua. Sihua, this is Xiao Ma. Xiao Ma works in the same office as my second aunt."

Yan Sihua smiled at Ma Lifeng. "Hello!"

"Hello! You guys chat, I'll be going now, I have a lot to do this afternoon." After saying that, Ma Lifeng left.

Yan Sihua was a little disappointed that he hadn't even given his name. "Second Aunt, does he look down on me?"

"He just came back from the countryside, and his mind is all on work. In another month or two, he'll be able to think about other things."

Yan Sihua thought about it and felt that her second aunt's words made a lot of sense. "Then I'll try to find you in your office more often during this time."

"Hmm. Although your second aunt doesn't know his family's background, it's definitely powerful. You should pay close attention to them."

"it is good."

Yan Sihua would bring Tian Jinglan something every five or six days.

The young women from the steel mill would also occasionally linger in front of Ma Lifeng.

Ma Lifeng didn't react at all.

Yan Sihua and the girls at the steel mill all felt that Ma Lifeng wanted to sort out his work matters first. They all wanted to wait until he had sorted things out before making things clear.

result……

Two weeks later, Ma Lifeng skipped work in the morning and handed out wedding candies to everyone in the office as soon as he arrived in the afternoon. "I got my marriage certificate with my girlfriend this morning. I've only been working for a little over two weeks, and there's still a lot to learn. My girlfriend also has a lot to learn. We won't have a wedding ceremony. I'm treating everyone to wedding candies."

The people in the office were stunned for a while before they remembered that Ma Lifeng had just started working at the steel plant and that he had a girlfriend.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

……

Tian Jinglan gritted her teeth. "Congratulations! What do you mean by saying your boyfriend also has a lot to learn? Did you find him a job?"

"How could I possibly have that ability? My mother gave the job to my husband. My mother really likes my husband."

Tian Jinglan: "..." She actually managed to get her mother-in-law to give her the job?! That country girl is too amazing, isn't she? Or... does that country girl have some kind of leverage over Ma Lifeng?

"So it was your mother who gave the job to your husband. I thought you found him some kind of job pasting matchboxes on the street. Is your house almost done cleaning up? When is your husband moving in?"

She wanted to see how that country girl managed to control Ma Lifeng and his mother.
