"Oh, right, Mom, I've got my eye on a girl," Ma Hua thought for a moment and decided to be honest with her mother, otherwise what would she do if her mother arranged a blind date for her?
"Oh, really? Whose daughter is she? What's her name? Do I know her? Where does she live?" The mother quickly wiped away her tears and asked excitedly.
I was originally planning to bring this up with Xiaohua, but I didn't expect he already has someone he likes. Not bad, not bad.
“Um, you don’t know her? She’s a distant relative of mine who lives in that courtyard. We knew each other before, but we only met this time by chance. I’ll tell you about her later. We’ve only known each other for a short time, so there’s no rush,” Ma Hua quickly explained.
"What do you mean 'just met'? Tell me, whose daughter is she? I'll find out for you and see if she's suitable. And you need to hurry up with this! Don't you think about how old you are?"
"I can stop pressuring you, but you need to step up your game, you hear me?" The mother frowned. This was a good thing; she would have to keep a close eye on Xiaohua.
Ma Hua was stunned when he heard this. This was exactly what he was afraid of. Although his mother was nagging, Ma Hua felt warm inside.
"Ah, Uncle, you're back?" Before Ma Hua could react, he found a little bundle in his arms. Only then did Ma Hua realize that it was his niece, Ma Zishan.
Ma Hua subconsciously pinched Ma Zishan's cute little face. Ma Zishan pouted and said, "You naughty uncle, all you do is pinch my face."
"Oh, our Zishan can get angry? Sigh, I even said I brought her some treats, looks like she's probably full of anger."
"They definitely can't eat anymore, what a pity! Then let Ziming eat it all!" Ma Hua clicked his tongue twice, looking at Ma Zishan in his arms with a playful expression.
"No way, I can eat it, you stinky little uncle, I want to eat it," Ma Zishan said, pouting.
"Uncle, I want to eat too!" Following the voice, Ma Hua saw Ma Ziming standing to the side, his face puffed up with anger. Ma Ziming's eyes were full of jealousy. Why didn't my stinky uncle hug me?
Ma Zishan immediately made a face at Ma Ziming. (Laughing)
"Alright, Zishan, don't you know how dirty you are? And how old are you, still letting your uncle carry you? Get down right now!" The sister-in-law saw Zishan curled up in Ma Hua's arms as soon as she entered the room.
He hurriedly helped Zishan down from Ma Hua's back. The two children had been running around outside all day, and their clothes were very dirty.
"No, I just want Uncle to hold me," Ma Zishan pouted, raised her chin haughtily, and said in a coquettish voice.
"Mom, where are the things I brought? Let these two little gluttons have a taste." Zishan was so cute that Ma Hua couldn't help but reach out and pinch Zishan's little face again.
"Mmm, it's delicious, Uncle. I want to have another piece." Ma Zishan finished the milk biscuit in her hand and looked at Ma Hua pitifully.
“Mom, let them have some more,” Ma Hua said to his mother, indicating that he wanted to give the two children a little more.
"What are you eating? One piece a day. Eating too much will ruin your teeth, don't you know that!" The mother glared at Ma Hua, annoyed. Did he know how precious this stuff was? This needs to be planned carefully; good things can't be eaten every day.
Ma Hua was helpless in this situation; what could he say? "This stuff doesn't have added sugar, so it won't rot your teeth?" "Children should drink more milk for better health?" Forget it.
These days, it's already a blessing if children can get enough to eat. Families like this mother, who plan to supplement their child's nutrition, are already ahead of the vast majority of families nationwide. I can only cook more in the future and deliver the food home once a week, carefully controlling the quantity.
While the MCA family was beaming with joy, enjoying a happy time together, things were quite different at the courtyard house.
With so many people arrested at once, those who remained in the courtyard were all shrewd and resourceful. The elderly women in the courtyard wisely kept a close eye on their children, making sure they stayed home and didn't go out. The once bustling courtyard now appeared unusually quiet.
Banggeng was overjoyed to see the courtyard so quiet. He called over his two younger sisters and told them to keep watch in the yard while he headed towards Ma Hua's house in the backyard.
When Banggeng reached Ma Hua's door, he took out the wire that Sha Zhu had given him and started fiddling with the lock. After fiddling with it for a long time, the lock still wouldn't open. Banggeng angrily kicked Ma Hua's door twice. "What kind of lousy technique is that Sha Zhu teaching me?"
The unconvinced Bang Geng climbed onto the glass of the MCA building to carefully observe the furnishings inside. Seeing that there was nothing to take, he angrily headed towards the Central Court.
Jia Dang and Huaihua, who were playing in the courtyard, saw Banggeng return and immediately went to greet him: "Brother, how did you do!"
"Damn it, there's nothing here. Sha Zhu's teaching is no good. I couldn't open the lock on Ma Hua's house," Bang Geng sighed.
“Mom already told you to call him Uncle Silly, not Silly Zhu,” Jia Dang said innocently.
"Hmph, I'll be in middle school next semester, I'll be an adult then, I can call you Shazhu now," Banggeng said disdainfully. Grandma had said that he was the pillar of the family.
"Brother, let's go back quickly, or Madam and Grandma will see us," Huaihua said anxiously.
"Huaihua, did you see Madam and Grandma go out?" Banggeng suddenly asked.
"Yes, I just saw an old lady helping a woman when I was playing in the yard. They said they were going to the neighborhood office," Huaihua said innocently, but a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.
"Brother, you can't go to Madam's house again! Have you forgotten how Mom beat you last time?" Jia Dang said anxiously.
When Banggeng heard Jia Dang say that, he subconsciously touched his butt. Last time he went to his mother's house to steal something and was reported, his mother gave him a good beating.
"Fine, you guys can leave it alone," Bang Geng said impatiently. If he couldn't go to Madam's house, he would go to Sha Zhu's house instead. Anyway, it was all Sha Zhu's fault for not teaching him properly; he couldn't even open a lock.
Banggeng was playing with his two younger sisters in front of Shazhu's house. When Banggeng saw that no one was in the yard, he told his two sisters to continue playing there and to cough twice if anyone came.
When Banggeng saw the lock on Shazhu's door, he was furious. Why was Shazhu locking the door today? He never locks it! Actually, Banggeng misunderstood Shazhu. He Yushui had put the lock on before she left.
Banggeng angrily kicked Shazhu's door twice, the clanging sound startling him into not daring to move. Then, huffing and puffing, he pulled out a wire from his pocket and stubbornly twisted it at Shazhu's door lock.
With a click, the door lock opened. Bang Geng was overjoyed, thinking to himself that he was indeed a genius and that he must have just had a lapse in performance.
Banggeng casually removed the lock from Shazhu's door, turned around and saw that there was no one else in the yard except his two younger sisters, so he slipped into Shazhu's house. When Banggeng slipped into Shazhu's house, he habitually reached under Shazhu's bed.
"Hey, empty bag!" Banggeng angrily threw the bag on the ground and stomped it a few times. "Where are the peanuts? What's wrong with Shazhu and the others?!"
Then Banggeng walked to Shazhu's bedside table, skillfully took out two cents, and then swaggered out of Shazhu's house.
Qin Huairu happened to see this scene. She was shocked. This guy had actually caused her trouble, but she couldn't make a fuss. She could only glare at him angrily.
I'm just making trouble for myself. Forget it, I'll wait until I've washed my mother-in-law's clothes before I go help Sha Zhu tidy up the house!
