Reborn Almighty Scholar

Chapter 226
On the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, cinnabar had almost recovered, and grandpa, grandma, and Ma Xiaofeng also came back from the capital together.

"Who are you!?" Seeing the handsome middle-aged man in his 40s and the middle-aged lady in her 40s in front of him, Chen Jun opened his eyes wide, and couldn't believe that they were already in their 60s Grandpa and grandma.

They've only been separated for a few months, why did they suddenly change so much?

"Haha, I don't even dare to recognize Xiaojun anymore." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile, "Look carefully, these are our grandpa and grandma."

"Grandpa!? Grandma!?" Chen Jun still couldn't believe it: "You have taken the rejuvenating medicine!?"

"Almost." Grandpa chuckled, and said, "Didn't Xiaolong mail us two pills last month! He said he could recover...recover...recover what?"

"Recovering a certain amount of cell activity is simply rejuvenating." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile.

"Yes, rejuvenate." Grandpa laughed and nodded: "Then your grandma and I became what we are now. You don't know, since your grandma and I became younger, there have been many young girls and boys rushing We secretly send eyeballs."

Everyone was happy to hear it.

"What else is there?" Zhu Sha smiled and said, "Grandpa, didn't you take the opportunity to hook up with some little girls?"

"Well, how old am I, how can I hook up with a little girl? Besides..." Turning to look at the fair-skinned and beautiful grandma in a cheongsam, with a smile in the corner of her eyes, said: "My wife is so beautiful, how can I still marry her?" Look up to others."

"You old man, what nonsense are you talking about in front of the children?" Grandma blushed a little.

Ma Xiaolong was very emotional, recalling that when he was reborn, his grandma was only in her 50s, but she was already a little old lady with silver hair.But now, 11 years have passed, my grandma's hair has turned black again, and her physical condition has returned to her middle-aged state in her early 40s. Moreover, grandma is 1.5 meters tall, three centimeters taller than Zhang Zhiling, and her appearance is almost fourteen. At five o'clock, wearing a cheongsam looks like a lady from the Republic of China.

"Grandpa, grandma, if you are like this now, don't talk about taking medicine when you meet someone, just say that you are so young because you often have beauty treatments outside and dye your hair." Ma Xiaolong warned.

"Don't worry, we've said that a long time ago." Grandpa said, "It's just that the rent is getting more and more every year, and your grandma and I are a little bit reluctant."

"Where is this?" Ma Xiaolong stroked Lulu, who was wearing a small flower jacket, in his arms, and said, "Just wait! Next year, China will join the WTO at the end of next year, and our economy will be in danger by then. If it takes off, housing prices and rents will also double and rise. That is to say, I have bought enough houses over the years, which is not bad for this money. Otherwise, I will definitely hoard a lot of houses. Can you sell it at ten times the price, do you believe it?"

"So many!?" Although everyone couldn't believe it, Ma Xiaolong never missed what he said, so they couldn't help but not believe it.

"In that case..." Zhang Zhiling's heart moved, and she said, "Xiaolong, our place is about to be demolished. When the time comes, will Mom just ask for money? Or change the house?"

"Then you must change the house!" Ma Xiaolong said: "But your house is not big, so you can change to a two-bedroom apartment of [-] square meters. Ten thousand dollars should be fine."

"[-] yuan per square meter?" Everyone was shocked again. Now there are no such housing prices in Beijing, Shanghai and other places, and the housing prices in this small town are only [-] to [-] yuan per square meter. How could it be possible to increase so much! ?
"Don't believe me, we are next to the canal and in the center of the town. It is not too much to say that it is a prime location. The house will naturally sell for a higher price. Of course, it must be a good floor, and the floor that is almost as good as the sky. Qian Yiping."

"That's expensive enough." Grandpa said with emotion for a moment, "So, when the time comes, our house will be demolished, and we will also change houses?"

"Change it!" Ma Xiaolong said: "But we will all live in villas in the future, this is at most a place to stay."

"Yeah." Grandpa nodded and said, "Why don't you change to another store?"

"That's fine." Ma Xiaolong nodded: "My wife has just changed two shops, both of which are corner shops at crossroads. In the future, just collecting rent will cost [-] to [-] yuan a month, which is enough for ordinary people to live on."

"Then we also need a shop." Grandpa said, "Our house is so big, how big a shop can we have?"

"As far as the decoration of our house is concerned, it must be replaced on a one-for-one basis. If you add some money, it should be no problem to change to a two-storey shop with an [-]-square-meter level." Ma Xiaolong said.

"Then it's settled." Grandpa said, "Leave this to you, and keep the house book at home!"

Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely change to a gold shop."

"You do things, grandpa don't worry."

Amidst the laughter, everyone took a rest and went out together to buy new year's goods.

...Ma Xiaofeng: Didn't I come back? ...

Because of the huge changes between grandpa and grandma, in the next few days, the neighbors in the neighborhood will be upset. Grandpa and grandma will have a good meal to explain, but it will also make many old men and women envious.

It was agreed to go to the old age together, but you secretly baked the oil.Faded, revolutionary friendship faded!
On New Year's Eve, both Ma Qiangsheng and Liu Ying came here, because the house was about to be demolished, and maybe this was the penultimate Spring Festival that everyone spent in this house, so everyone cherished the time of celebrating the New Year here.

After a year of layoffs, the neighbors in the neighborhood have also found their own jobs. Some sell breakfast, some sell vegetables, some deliver goods on three wheels, and some work in factories with good profits. It's much better than last year.

Because I provided some help to the neighbors in the neighborhood last year, many people came to Ma Xiaolong’s house to give gifts this year, but in the face of these people, I accepted all my thanks and let them take back all the gifts: “There is nothing missing at home. Go back, or don't come to my house in the future."

This is what grandpa and grandma said, which made the neighbors helpless and very moved.

It has always been the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation to do good deeds without expecting anything in return, but the number of people who can do this is getting smaller and smaller with the wave of reform and opening up, and everything is based on money.

Few people will do things that are not beneficial. If they do, they must have other demands.

But Ma Xiaolong is capable, and everything is based on his sufficient financial support. The help to the neighbors is not a drop in the bucket, and he can gain a good reputation, so why not do it?
People are like this. When they live to a certain class and status, what they seek is no longer worldly money and power, but fame before and after life.

Except for those with mental problems, who wouldn't want to have a good reputation after death?Just like Qin Hui, future generations dare not recognize him as an ancestor.

If anyone dares to admit it, there must be something wrong with society.

Not to mention, now and in the next 20 or [-] years, society does have such a problem. It doesn't matter if you have a bad reputation, as long as it can attract people and realize it, some people even dare to recognize devils as their ancestors.

On the evening of the [-]th, the family watched the Spring Festival Gala together in front of the TV just after eating the steaming dumplings.

This year’s Spring Festival Gala has new partners in language programs, such as Feng Gong’s breakup with Niu Qun, and Guo Donglin’s partner this year. A piece of "Old Songs and New Sings" directly ignited Goubuli Baozi in Jincheng.

Steamed stuffed buns, which were originally just a folk snack, became popular all over the country and became a business card of Jincheng. They embarked on the luxurious road of turning snacks into gifts, and at the same time, they were also a road of no return for breaking away from the masses.

Pan Changjiang and Gong Hanlin also partnered with 'Pan Jinlian' once, in "She at the Same Table".

Honestly, not funny.

The new sketch king Uncle Zhao and Song Dandan's sketch "Part-time Worker" also produced some golden sentences, such as "Ten more money" and "I don't know you when you put on a vest?" ', 'I still know you when you take off your vest' and so on.

And old man Wen Xingyu, who was the only one to appear in the Spring Festival Gala, also performed a skit with Cai Minghe.Don't know who Wen Xingyu is?It is Fu Ming, the retired father in "I Love My Family".

And Ni Ping and Zhao Zhongxiang, the two Spring Festival Gala hosts who have accompanied countless people for more than ten years, also performed a small show "Tea Tasting". After this year, the two left the Spring Festival Gala stage, marking the end of an era .

Generally speaking, this year's language programs are much worse than in previous years, and a large number of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars have been invited for singing and dancing performances. To be honest, they are not very good-looking.

Ma Xiaolong did see the future masked demon king Tan Jing appearing on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, but he was just one of many singers, not very conspicuous, if not for his sharp eyes, he would not have recognized this person as Tan Jing.

But how to say it!There are many people with Tan Jing’s level in the national team. The reason why she crushed everyone with the attitude of a big devil on the masked and singer stage is because the level of the popular stage is too low. Tan Jing went to participate in this kind of program. It is no different from going to the countryside to give condolences. The main purpose is to let the local people feel the warmth of the red sun.

By the way, let the popular circle feel how clumsy they are.

This year's Spring Festival Gala also has something a little unusual in Ma Xiaolong's opinion. This year's Spring Festival Gala, "Unforgettable Tonight" was not sung.

The last song of this year's Spring Festival Gala is "Sleepless Tonight". I don't know why?
Looking back on the past year, the return of the city of Macau was considered the biggest historical event, and because of this, many artists from the city of Macau appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, marking a perfect end to China's 90s.

But it’s true that this year’s Spring Festival Gala is not good. In addition, there are more and more home computer users nowadays. People who don’t watch the Spring Festival Gala on New Year’s Eve night, more and more people use computers to surf the Internet. In addition, local TV stations will also be in the near future. The successive launch of their own Spring Festival Gala programs has led to the lower and lower ratings of Yangma’s Spring Festival Gala. Many young people don’t even watch the Spring Festival Gala. This directly leads to fewer and fewer programs that domestic people have common memories.

Huaxia has finally moved towards a rich and colorful future, and no program can arouse the common memories of all the people in the country.

Thanks to the fact that the current management of the town is not strict enough, Ma Xiaolong still accompanied the girls to set off firecrackers and fireworks for half an hour at zero o'clock this year, but this scene will gradually disappear in the near future, and the common people want to set off fireworks and firecrackers to their heart's content , basically only seen in rural areas.

On the first day of the new year, Ma Xiaolong received many text messages of New Year greetings on his mobile phone.With the price reduction of mobile phones, more and more users can afford mobile phones in the past two years, and the form of texting New Year's greetings on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day has gradually become popular.

Those who sent text messages to Ma Xiaolong were basically people who had direct contact with him back then, such as the editors of the publishing house, the heads of some major departments of Xiaolong Technology, Feng Pants and Uncle Ge of Xiaolong Entertainment, and those who were ruled by him. Teacher Zhao and Coach Ma, who were cured of cancer, both sent New Year greeting messages.

There is no group sending function on Ma Xiaolong's mobile phone, so he can only reply one by one, which is very troublesome.

In addition, there are a lot of neighbors who come to their house to pay New Year's greetings this year, and it took most of the day to entertain these people, and it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when they were free.

On the second day of the new year, Ma Xiaolong and Zhu Sha went to Shuangshi Village to pay New Year's greetings to the two elders. This year, the old man and the old lady did not go to the capital to celebrate the New Year with Zhu Lingling, because Zhu Lingling was not in the country at all. Right now, he was negotiating business with Mi Li's family, so he was very busy.

The old couple didn't care, and were in a good mood, because their son, Ma Xiaolong's father-in-law, had a pair of twins last year. What does that mean?It means that the Zhu family finally has a queen.

For rural people, giving birth to a girl is not called a queen, because the girl belongs to someone else after all. If they want to continue the incense, they can only have a boy. Afterwards, they directly pushed their granddaughter over without the slightest bit of reluctance, which vividly showed that they didn't particularly value girls in their hearts.

But for this newborn grandson, in order to be able to see this grandson often, the old couple bought a new computer, pulled the network cable, and bought a camera. From time to time, they would video with Li Jiapo’s son. Like something happy.

The old couple even planned to apply for passports, and planned to visit their grandson in Lijiapo after the Chinese New Year.

Oh, yes, and a granddaughter.

Ma Xiaolong and Zhu Sha came to pay New Year's greetings. The old couple were very happy. The happiest thing was when Ma Xiaolong beat up the little boys in the village in the martial arts training ground in the courtyard.

In the past few years, Ma Xiaolong has really earned a lot of face for the old couple.

How much money does Ma Xiaolong have?They don't value it very much, and their daughter is also very rich, but Ma Xiaolong's martial arts is so strong that he is invincible in the whole village, so that they can live with their chests upright in the village, which is what they value most.

Every place has its own customs, and every place's people have their own way of life. In Shuangshi Village, there is a son-in-law and grandson-in-law with strong martial arts skills, which can make the elderly feel proud.

Ma Xiaolong earned a lot of face for the two elders, and the two elders also loved Ma Xiaolong, the grandson-in-law, and accompanied him with delicious food and drink. For most of the day, the old couple were very happy from ear to ear.
