Reborn Almighty Scholar

Chapter 145 Birth, old age, sickness and death (two in one)

In mid-July, everything that should be done was done, and Ma Xiaolong and his party went home.

In just half a month, Ma Xiaolong did a lot of things. First, he recorded an MV album with Chen Jun, and then provided the country with a lot of technological and industrial technologies that benefit the country and the people. With these technologies, the country's technological and industrial development At least 20 years faster.

After that, he added an animation department to the entertainment company. He is currently recruiting animation talents with high salaries, and he has won the copyright number of the magazine. He plans to publish a comic magazine on New Year's Day next year.

The name of the comic magazine is "Manga King", yes, it is to pay tribute to "The King of Painting" which was banned three years ago.

Because people in this era are too conservative, "The King of Painting" was discontinued after only one year of publication, which is really a pity, and what is even more pity are the domestic cartoonists who contributed to "The King of Painting" back then.

"Painting King" was gone, and they lost an excellent platform. Although other comic magazines absorbed them later, their influence was much worse than "Painting King".

Ma Xiaolong founded this magazine in order to network those outstanding domestic cartoonists and use this as a basis to develop China's own cartoon industry.

In order to make this magazine a hit, Ma Xiaolong also prepared a new comic work to be submitted in his own magazine, and the name of the new comic is "Under One Man".

I'm sorry, Brother Mi, Sister Bao'er will be born under my pen.

In addition, "Love Through Time and Space" has been discussed with Yang Ma, and it will be aired in prime time on August [-]st, with two episodes per day, exactly two weeks.

A few days ago, Ma Qiangsheng, who lives in Xiangjiang, went to see Mr. Jin and bought "Swordsman", "Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" and "Dragon Eight" from him. The mainland film and television adaptation rights of "The Ministry".

Not for anything else, just to praise the actors of his company.

In the past year, the company has signed a lot of young film and television actors, but due to the lack of film and television resources, these young actors can only go to film other crews.Now, Ma Xiaolong is going to start the first shot of mainland film and television dramas with Jin's martial arts dramas.

On the other hand, he has established an online literature website on the Internet, allowing netizens who love writing to write books on the website. As long as the writing is good and the popularity is high, they can get the opportunity to adapt animation, film and television, and games.

This wave has taught Penguin a lot.

After two years of development, Ma Xiaolong's technology and entertainment companies have entered the right track and are making great strides towards becoming a giant in the industry.

Ma Xiaolong's goal is very simple, that is, in the near future, the bankers all over the country will call him Brother Ma from the bottom of their hearts.

Follow Xiao Ma, eat and drink.

Well, nice slogan.

After half a month of busy work, Ma Xiaolong didn't feel tired. For him with field control skills, managing the company is now very easy, and under his remote command, the financial crisis has already been cut for him. tens of billions of funds.

This is just a warm-up, and the Southeast Asian financial crisis will soon turn into an Asian financial crisis, and some will cut it off!
Cutting other people's leeks and developing his own business, Ma Xiaolong finally understood the happiness of Mi Li's family.

He is happy, and Zhu Lingling, who has abundant funds, is even happier, and the country with foreign exchange reserves of more than 1000 billion dollars is the happiest.

This wave, this wave directly increased the country's GDP by 15%, so don't be too happy.

And there will be more to harvest in the next year!

Ma Xiaolong doesn't care about those things. Anyway, he has no interest in making money now. He just wants to help the country develop as soon as possible, let the people live a good life, and let himself live a good life as soon as possible, sleeping until he wakes up naturally.

"Grandma, we're back!"

10:30 am, home.As soon as he entered the yard, Ma Xiaofeng yelled, startling his grandma who was playing mahjong.

"I'm back! Have you eaten yet?" Grandma pushed the cards away and stopped playing.

Seeing this, the other old ladies reluctantly ended the game and went home to rest.

Old men and women in ordinary families are relatively comfortable these days. After all, they have many children and they are retired. The children are basically by their side. They are served by them every day, and they can also tease their grandchildren. Life is very leisurely.

However, this kind of life will basically disappear in a few decades. Under the one-child policy, when the post-[-]s and post-[-]s are old, it is good for their children to take care of themselves. They don’t have much energy to take care of the elderly. Compared with now The post-[-]s and post-[-]s are much harder.

The only good thing is that I will not be hungry, but without the company of my children, once I am sick and bedridden, the problem will be very serious.

Looking at these old ladies who left, Ma Xiaolong was thoughtful.

Social welfare pensions can be implemented in the future.

But in this era, it seems that orphanages should be established more.

Although family planning has been in place for nearly 20 years, many people outside the cities still secretly have more children, but if they don’t give birth to a son, it is easy to abandon the child.It will be difficult for post-[-]s and [-]s to marry a daughter-in-law because of the imbalance in the male-to-female ratio due to abortion and the abandonment of baby girls.

Coupled with the fueling of the media and capital, after 2010, it was really a lot of betrothal gifts, and stalks such as "the mother-in-law boosts housing prices" also emerged endlessly.

Anyway, in the past decade or so, many families with daughters really changed their destiny by receiving dowry gifts.There are even some shameless women who regard receiving the bride price as a business. They get married this year and receive the bride price. The next year they get divorced and divide the house. Then they get married again and receive the bride price, and then divorce and divide the house... In this cycle, wealth has been realized in just a few years. Liberal, shamelessly outrageous.

This also directly led to the introduction of the Civil Code, so that women can no longer treat marriage as a business.

well!Thinking about the next twenty years, it will be really a mess, and various operations to refresh the lower limit will emerge in endlessly.Ma Xiaolong couldn't figure out why this happened, but if he had the ability, he would try to change this.

Right now, you can try to set up an orphanage. Anyway, there is nowhere to spend more money, so it is definitely right to do more good deeds.

Go back and discuss it with Zhu Lingling. She has a wide network of contacts and has taken the lead in setting up chain orphanages all over the country. The nationwide network is unified, services are unified, and staff are recruited uniformly. Bullying children and using children for profit must not be allowed to happen.

Also, foreigners cannot be allowed to adopt Chinese orphans.

If we let foreigners raise our own children, will they still be our children?
There are too many problems, and it is difficult to change.Ma Xiaolong was a little brain-burned.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhu Sha asked in a low voice seeing Ma Xiaolong thinking.

"Family and country matters." Ma Xiaolong said.

"..." Zhu Sha rolled her eyes and walked to grandma: "Grandma, I bought you a dress, you can try it on."

Grandma was happy to see her teeth but not her eyes: "Okay."

……

While eating at noon, an unexpected person came and disrupted Ma Xiaolong's plans for the next few days.

Ma Xiaojun, 13 years old, the eldest son of Ma Xiaolong's fifth uncle, came to the house dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, and when he saw the people eating in the room, he fell to his knees with a plop.

"Ouch!" When grandma saw it, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly helped Ma Xiaojun up: "Xiaojun, what's the matter?"

"My grandma is gone."

Hearing this sentence, Ma Xiaolong was stunned, and also remembered that in his previous life, grandma did indeed pass away in July of 97.

And five years ago, the grandfather he hated had already taken a step ahead.

"Old sister is gone?" Grandma was stunned for a moment, couldn't help feeling sad, and asked, "When did you leave?"

"Early this morning, I went to bed and walked away peacefully." Ma Xiaojun said.

Hearing the old sister's way of walking, the grandma breathed a sigh of relief, and said with emotion: "The old sister is a good person! God is reluctant to make her suffer when she leaves."

Ma Xiaolong patted Ma Xiaojun on the shoulder and said, "Have you eaten yet? Have some first, and we'll go there later."

"I have eaten." Ma Xiaojun shook his head, handed him the filial piety clothes and filial belts he brought, and said, "This is the filial piety of the third uncle, the third mother, and you and Xiaofeng. Grandma will send it the morning after tomorrow."

"Okay." After receiving the filial piety, Ma Xiaolong said: "Then I won't keep you, you go back slowly."

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

"I'll send it to you."

"Don't come out."

"Let's go!"

"..."

After seeing off Ma Xiaojun and returning to the house, the atmosphere changed.

"Eat first!" Ma Xiaolong said to everyone, "I'll make a phone call."

Everyone nodded and watched Ma Xiaolong go to the second floor.

Grandma is gone, Ma Xiaolong must call Ma Qiangsheng first, Ma Qiangsheng is still in Xiangjiang right now!When I received a call and learned that my old mother had left, I lived in Bengbu at that time: "I will buy a plane ticket and come back right away!"

As for Xiangjiang's affairs, it doesn't matter if he is there or not.

After that, Ma Xiaolong made a few more phone calls. When he went downstairs, although everyone at the dinner table was still eating, they all ate rather depressedly.

Ma Xiaolong came over, picked up the rice bowl and ate voraciously: "It's time to eat and eat. After eating, Dai Yu will take a look at the house for us. We will come back after we finish our filial piety."

Dai Yu nodded again and again: "Okay."

"I have to take a leave of absence." Liu Ying said.

"En." Ma Xiaolong nodded, and said, "Just ask for three days off! I'm sure you won't be free for a few days."

"No, I'll live there." Liu Ying said, "I can help you if it's nearby."

"also."

Weddings and weddings always involve the energy of many people. As the eldest grandson of Ma Laosan's family, Ma Xiaolong must stay there to watch the night and help.

well!grandmother……

……

The next day, Ma Qiangsheng came back from Xiangjiang, and finally cried his old mother in time, and sent his old mother away crying bitterly on the morning of the third day.

Everyone in Majiazhuang has their own cemetery. After grandma was cremated, she was buried in grandpa's grave. At this point, the funeral is over.

As Ma Xiaolong's future daughter-in-law, Zhu Sha also put on a filial piety for her grandma, and she shed real tears when she cried.

After all, he didn't see his grandma all the year round, and he didn't have much grandchildren's affection, so Ma Xiaofeng couldn't cry at all.

Ma Xiaolong actually couldn't cry, the reason was the same as Ma Xiaofeng's, but the sadness that should have been revealed.In the end, it was Zhu Sha, the unmarried granddaughter-in-law who cried the saddest, and I don't know why?
After letting his grandma rest in peace, Ma Xiaolong took off his filial piety and walked around the village with cinnabar.

After more than a year of construction, the planting base and breeding base in the village have taken some prototypes. According to the current progress, it will take about a year to complete the construction of the base. By then, various seeds can be introduced. , saplings and livestock, vigorously develop agriculture and breeding.

It was the first time for Zhu Sha to see such a large agricultural and animal husbandry base, and she followed Ma Xiaolong around curiously, and after listening to his narration, said: "It's very good, with the scale here, our father may change in the future. Become the king of agriculture and animal husbandry."

"I think so too." Ma Xiaolong said: "Food is the most important thing for the people. Our dad doesn't like to engage in those vain things. It's happiest to farm land and raise pigs in the village."

Zhu Sha smiled slightly and said, "Very good."

In the evening, Ma Xiaolong and his party returned home, and Dai Yu, who had helped look after the house for three days, was feeding Lulu dog food. When he saw them coming back, he quickly asked, "Are you done?"

"I'm done." Ma Xiaolong said, "Sister Lin, I have troubled you for the past few days."

Dai Yu shook his head: "No, it's quite leisurely."

It is really leisurely. Besides feeding Lulu and pigeons and cleaning, Dai Yu watches TV, plays computer, and reads books at home every day. He is more leisurely than at home.

Ma Xiaolong smiled: "I invite you to have a big meal tonight."

"No." Dai Yu shook his head and said, "I haven't been home for more than half a month, and I want to go home and have a look."

"I'll take you home after dinner," Ma Xiaolong said.

"……All right!"

……

After dinner, Ma Xiaolong sent Dai Yu home. After returning, almost all the family members went back to their rooms to sleep.

In the past few days, everyone suffered from severe sleep deprivation, and now only Zhu Sha barely managed to stay awake. When he came back, he said, "Xiaolong, I'm too tired these days, take a bath and go to bed early!"

Ma Xiaolong nodded and said, "You have worked hard these few days."

"It's not hard." Zhu Sha shook her head gently: "I'm just a little sad."

"What's wrong?" Ma Xiaolong asked.

Zhu Sha pursed her lips and said, "Grandpa, grandma, grandpa, grandma, they are all old too."

"..." Ma Xiaolong held her in his arms and comforted her: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable, don't think too much."

Zhu Sha nestled in his arms, silent.

"Let's go! Take a good bath and sleep, everything will be fine." Ma Xiaolong said.

"Ah."

Ma Xiaolong can probably understand why Zhu Sha shed tears for grandma. It turned out that he was worried about the future.

People are like this, the older they get, the more they understand, the more sentimental they become, and maybe they won't be able to see it until they are old.I don't know what will we look like when we are old?When you are about to enter the ground, will you think of the carefree childhood, the restlessness and ambiguity of adolescence, the marriage and childbirth and social pressure in adulthood, and...

this is life.

……

Although grandma's departure makes people sad, it is just an episode in life, and life will continue. In a few days, everyone's life returned to normal.

Only Ma Qiangsheng stayed in the village, saying that he would keep a filial piety for his grandma for 49 days.

The people in Majiazhuang were very moved. Everyone praised him as a filial son, but they didn't know how much these praises had anything to do with the agricultural and animal husbandry base under construction.
Although his filial piety will affect Ma Xiaolong's handling of outside affairs to a certain extent, it is not a big problem. Ma Xiaolong is also willing to satisfy his father's filial piety to his mother after his death.

Unknowingly, half a month has passed, and the time has come to August.

On August 8, the provincial sports meeting opened, and coach Zhou also called him, urging him to come to the province to participate in the competition before the day after tomorrow.

When it comes to 60 skill points or 6 attribute points, Ma Xiaolong still attaches great importance to it.After hanging up the phone, he began to pack his luggage, planning to leave for the provincial capital tomorrow.

"Are you going to participate in the competition?" When the whole family arrived at night, they were very happy to hear that Ma Xiaolong was going to participate in the competition in the provincial capital tomorrow. Grandma said: "For such a big event, our whole family must go to the scene to give Xiaolong Come on and cheer."

"By the way, visit the provincial capital." Ma Xiaofeng was very excited: "I haven't been to the provincial capital yet!"

"I have to go to work, I'm afraid I won't be able to go." Liu Ying looked embarrassed.

Grandpa also laughed dryly: "I also have to watch the gate, next time, next time."

The two of them knocked down everyone's high spirits in an instant.

The grandma glared at the two fathers: "Whether I want to go or not, anyway, I have to cheer for my grandson."

"Then you go!" Grandpa said: "Remember to record Xiaolong's game and show us when you come back."

"Don't worry! I'll record it." Ma Xiaofeng said, "I will definitely record my brother's demeanor of winning the championship."

"Well, this arduous task is entrusted to you. Don't disappoint your mother and I's ardent expectations." Grandpa encouraged.

Ma Xiaofeng looked serious, and gave a military salute: "I promise to complete the task."

"..."

Zhu Sha said to Ma Xiaolong: "When I was on vacation, I said I would take Sister Lin with me. Let's call Sister Lin tomorrow!"

Ma Xiaolong nodded: "Okay."

After a pause, "Take Xiao Jun with you!"

After Chen Jun came back from Beijing, she has been helping Zhang Zhiling in the training center. With her current music level, it is more than enough to teach some children.

In the past two years, Chen Jun also went to help out every winter and summer vacation. Zhang Zhiling even paid her a salary, but this year Chen Jun didn't ask for any more.

Last month I recorded the MV album in Beijing, and Chen Jun received a performance fee of 10 yuan. On the 1st of this month, this album began to be sold on the shelves of major domestic video stores, and major TV stations also took turns Play, which led to the album hit.

In just one week, this album sold 20 copies. According to the contract, every time an album is sold, Chen Jun will be given a commission of one yuan. Now at the age of 12, Chen Jun has earned a lot of money that is difficult for adults to earn. Big money imagined.

With so much money, Chen Jun can't think of a salary of ten yuan a day, leaving it all for her mother to buy popsicles.

In fact, when Zhang Zhiling heard that her daughter had earned so much money, she was shocked and apprehensive.Without it, Chen Jun earned 30 yuan including the performance fee and share in the past month, and she would only have [-] to [-] yuan left in a year.

For the first time in her life, Zhang Zhiling was shocked by the earning power of celebrities, and also felt a strong imbalance.

In an era where the wages of ordinary workers are generally several hundred yuan, my daughter actually earns 30 yuan a month, and there will be more in the future. Is such a huge gap really good?
Zhang Zhiling is also biased. Ma Xiaolong earns much more money than Chen Jun, but she thinks it's normal. When it's her daughter's turn, she feels it's unfair, and she can't say it.

"Okay, I think Xiaojun has nothing to do recently, it's good to go to the provincial capital for two days together." Grandma said.

"But, where will we live in the provincial capital?" Ma Xiaofeng asked.

This questioned Ma Xiaolong. Although he bought houses in all major cities in China, he did not buy a house in the provincial capital. With so many people passing by, he could only stay in a hotel.

"Stay in a hotel!" Ma Xiaolong said, "I'll reimburse you."

"Okay, okay!" Ma Xiaofeng's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "I haven't stayed in a hotel yet!"

"I'll let you live enough this time."

After the discussion, Ma Xiaolong went to the opposite door to inform Zhang Zhiling and Chen Jun.

"Going to compete in the provincial capital tomorrow?" Zhang Zhiling heard about this for the first time: "Xiaolong, are you going to participate in the competition?"

"Yes." Ma Xiaolong took the tea from Chen Jun and said, "I will run 100 meters and 200 meters with the men the day after tomorrow. I want to take Xiaojun to have a look. It would be even better if you can go."

Zhang Zhiling shook her head with a smile: "Summer vacation is a busy time, and I'm afraid Mom won't be able to make it through, so let Xiaojun go!"

"Okay." Ma Xiaolong nodded, turned to Chen Jun and said, "Xiao Jun, you prepare two changes of clothes. I didn't buy a house over there, so I can only stay in a hotel."

Chen Jun hummed and asked, "Sister Zhu Sha and the others going too?"

"Grandma is going too." Ma Xiaolong said, "It's the first provincial competition in my life, and it's very commemorative."

Chen Jun's eyes lit up and she nodded, "I will definitely cheer for my brother."

"Xiaojun is the most satisfactory." Ma Xiaolong rubbed her hair and said with a smile, "Xiaofeng is nothing compared to you."

Chen Jun blushed and said, "No, Sister Xiaofeng is also fine."

"Don't put gold on her face." Ma Xiaolong took a sip of tea and said, "I don't know what kind of virtue she is?"

Chen Jun stopped talking.

Zhang Zhiling smiled lightly: "Okay! Xiaofeng is pretty good, that is to say, you, an older brother, don't take her seriously."

"Whether it's good or not depends on who to compare with, Xiaojun?" Ma Xiaolong shook his head: "If Xiaojun is the moon in the sky, Xiaofeng is the firefly on the ground."

"No." Chen Jun blushed even more, but she was very happy in her heart: "How can I be so good."

"You are better than what I said." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "Anyway, among the girls I know, except for your sister Zhu Sha, you are the best, and I can't find any faults."

"..." Chen Jun would be very happy if there were no four words 'Sister Zhu Sha', but she would not be so happy if these four words were added.

Sensing the change in her daughter's heart, Zhang Zhiling sighed secretly, and said, "Stop praising Xiaojun, she still has a lot to learn and improve!"

"Hehe, I think it's already very good, and the rest is a matter of keeping improving." Ma Xiaolong is 1 satisfied with his god-sister, and hopes that her future will be better, unlike her previous life.

After talking with the mother and daughter for a while, Ma Xiaolong got up and went back.

The next day, a group of people took a taxi, picked up Dai Yu halfway, and headed to the provincial capital.
