Need for Uncle

Chapter 232

Chapter 230 Year End
Although he was shamelessly blackmailed by some old fellows, afterward Ma Xiaoshuai had to lament that the effort really paid off.

As a few veterans who have the absolute right to speak in the military, their words are extremely weighty in many cases.Just like the construction of this military factory, with the joint support of several old immortals and Murong Junhua, the customs clearance was completed in three days, and it was put into production immediately.As for the person in charge, Duan Chengzhi was naturally in charge, and the craftsmen were also capable students under his command, and many students complained about this.

And the 'Rocket' project was exposed for the first time five days after the grenade was tested.

As before, there were only a few people who came to visit, and neither civil servants nor generals wanted to miss such an opportunity. Early in the morning, there was a crowd of people outside the academy, and the experiment site was completely blocked.This time, Mr. Qian, Murong Junhua, and all the old immortals were all present. Because of the previous embarrassment lessons, they all hid away this time, and waited until the explosion was completed before happily visiting. They were prepared and shocked.

Just like what Ma Xiaoshuai said at the beginning, the power of this rocket is indeed equivalent to a hundred grenades, or even worse.

The old men were very satisfied, but they knew that such a big guy couldn't share the spoils by themselves, and they only prepared one, so they didn't commit any obscene extortion, but they didn't hesitate to praise them in the court afterwards.As a result, it is conceivable that Longyan Dayue once again stripped off a large sum of bonuses and project funds, and asked to put it into production immediately, and send it to the front line in time for the spring.So far, the emperor's YY has gone one step further.

In this way, the remaining work is the production of these two weapons.Because after the early technology is in place, the research will inevitably stagnate.In this way, although Duan Chengzhi and the other students were busy going around, Ma Xiaoshuai wanted to relax.Resuming the leisurely life before, going to work is only a symbolic trip to the office, taking a nap with hot tea when the sun is shining, and sleeping in the office when the weather is not so good.

This kind of life has passed for more than a month, seeing that it is getting colder day by day, and the twelfth lunar month has arrived.

"It's snowing." Qing stood by the window of the office at this moment, opened a small gap, and looked outside, "It's so beautiful."

"Huh?" Ma Xiaoshuai took a sip of tea and came over to take a look, "Really, no wonder the sky is so gloomy in the morning."

"Teacher!" At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Xiao Wan rushed in with an excited face, "It's snowing too"

"Well, it's snowing." Ma Xiaoshuai looked at the two little girls and couldn't help but sighed.

This is the gap. The two little girls are about the same age, but their personalities are completely different, and their angles and attitudes towards things are also very different. For example, this Xue, Qingchu is obviously from an appreciation or some kind of aesthetic point of view, while Xiaowan is It's all because of the rareness of seeing and showing the excitement of playing like a child.Although both of them are very happy, but their heights are different. Compared with Qingchu, Qingchu is obviously noble and emotional.

And what about Xiaowan?Just like her performance now...

"Teacher, let's build a snowman and blow it up with a grenade!" Xiao Wan danced and said, "It must be fun."

"Grenade? I'm not afraid of blowing you up!" Ma Xiaoshuai glared at him, "That's a weapon, it's different from a firecracker, don't use it as a toy."

"Is there a difference?" Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, then said blankly: "I think they are all the same, they both blow up, but one can kill people and the other can't."

"You measure things from an evil angle!"

"Hey." Xiaowan smiled, leaned over to look at Qingchu who was sighing at the snow scene, and said coquettishly, "Teacher, let's go out and play."

"Get off work now." Ma Xiaoshuai pulled the little girl off his body, straightened it up, and said, "Go home."

"There is no grenade at home!" Xiao Wan quit immediately, and shouted: "How can you blow up a snowman without a grenade!"

"There are firecrackers at home." Ma Xiaoshuai turned his head when he was packing his things, and said with a smile, "Didn't you say they are all the same? Then let's make do with it."

"..."

In the end, Xiaowan, who was unwilling, was dragged away.And Qingchu also said that she wanted to see Xueyu's big belly.

After talking about it for a long time, Xueyu's belly gradually swelled, and she took on the posture of a pregnant woman.And Wang Jing's stomach has grown a lot, and during this period of time, there are signs of strenuous activities. Most of the time, she is lying down and sitting alive, playing mahjong and chatting with the little sisters when she has nothing to do. She was forced by Ma Xiaoshuai several times , Realizing that it is about the health of the child, the Empress Dowager got out of bed with a face full of displeasure.Although it was only a small amount of exercise, the maids were so scared all day long that they only hoped that this terrible child would be born soon.

"When will the baby be born?" Qing Chu was still sitting in the back seat. The little girl wrapped herself up very tightly today, which made her look a little bloated, but she was cute at first glance, especially the animal on her head. The fluffy hat, the snow-white one is very beautiful.At this time, the little girl hid her chin in her clothes, showing a flushed face with anticipation, "I really hope to see him soon..."

"Well, hurry up and give birth!" Xiaowan echoed in front, excitedly saying: "I also want to see what the baby looks like."

"Should be cute, right?"

"Of course." Xiao Wan turned her head, looked at Qing Chu and said, "I heard that the baby looks like Dad, do you think the teacher is handsome?"

"En, very handsome." Qing Chu nodded, and said, "The little baby must be very good-looking too, I'm looking forward to it..."

It's amazing that the two sisters who are usually bitter and bitter can talk to each other because of a topic. I have to sigh that the little baby is very powerful!

But what Xiaowan said next made Ma Xiaoshuai almost collapse...

"I'm also looking forward to it, when the time comes, I'll let him call me master, because I will definitely hand over the hand grenade to him!!!"

"..."

When they returned to Xiangguo Mansion, many servants were sweeping the snow, and they would also play and fight with each other during the period, which was very lively.

Xiaowan quickly joined the battle group, and ran over excitedly, without giving a few maids a chance to react, she grabbed a snowball without fear of the cold and laughed at a little maid, this little girl knew Xiaowan's, who had established a deep friendship in the firecracker activities before, did not show any timidity towards this little princess who was a princess. She wiped her face and started preparing snowballs with a smile, and started a big fight from time to time.

"I'm going to see sister Xueyu." Qing Chu looked at it with a smile on his lips, then turned to Ma Xiaoshuai and said, "Master, are you going?"

"Well, let's go together."

The snow is still falling, and the second half of the twelfth lunar month has passed in such a white mist, and it will be the end of the new year in a blink of an eye.

The Xiangguo Mansion was full of joy, those who bought new year's goods, and those who cleaned were busy in a festive atmosphere.

Speaking of which, this is Ma Xiaoshuai's first year in this world, so his thoughts are inevitably a little complicated.But looking back on the past, life in this year is still full of happiness. Although life is not as colorful as the materialistic [-]st century, it is satisfying to have a family and a career. The feeling of home is just like Xueyu now, with her big belly, she still doesn't forget to tell her servants to be busy.

"Have you bought all the necessities for the New Year?" Ma Xiaoshuai walked around the yard after get off work, and when he saw Xueyu from afar, he stepped forward to ask.

"Well, it's almost done." Xueyu showed a happy expression, and said with a smile: "You don't need to ask me, just leave it to my concubine."

"Don't worry too much." Looking at Xueyu's stomach, she said with a smile, "There is still trouble in my stomach."

"It's okay." Xueyu rubbed her stomach with a happy face, "My husband also said that more activities are good for children."

"I knew you would say that." Ma Xiaoshuai shook his head, and said helplessly, "Then you should be busy and don't work too hard."

"Oh, that's right." Xueyu called Ma Xiaoshuai who was about to leave, "Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, and the servants who haven't left will trouble you to seal the red envelope."

"Oh?" Ma Xiaoshuai turned his head with interest, "Sealing red envelopes? I like to do this, so go right away."

Speaking of rich families, it is also a custom to give red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.Ma Xiaoshuai tidied up a little and set himself up in the main hall, with a tray at hand, handing it out to the maids one by one, he couldn't help but smile when he saw the happy smiling faces.During this period, I was suddenly a little curious. I took one apart and looked at it, and couldn't help but wonder.This family is really rich, and it is so generous to seal a red envelope, which is more than their own pocket money.

"Er Gou, why did you just come here?" Looking at Er Gou who came late, he smiled and said, "I'm ready to go, if I don't come again, I'll be corrupt."

"Hey, hey." Ergou smirked, scratching his head and snowflakes fell all over the ground, "Aren't you busy giving gifts?"

"Oh?"

I suddenly remembered the customs of this era. Generally, during the Chinese New Year, families who are close to each other will give each other some gifts.Although it is not expensive, but at least it is a heart.Xueyu talked about this two days before, because Xiangguo's mansion is very popular, and the number received every year during the Chinese New Year is not a small number, so I'm afraid it will be revealed that someone is missing someone, and there are many wives for this matter. complain.Especially this year, except for Dongfang Mu's bureaucratic friends, everyone who has some relationship with Ma Xiaoshuai has expressed it, which involves returning gifts.At that time, the list was long, probably enough for Ergou to be busy.

"Where did you go?" Suddenly, I was curious.

"I don't know." Ergou said helplessly, "I guess my uncle doesn't even know him, he seems to be a trainee in the academy."

"Apprentice students? Then I probably don't know each other." Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help but smile wryly. Now he is also a teacher by example, and the entire academy under him is full of hundreds of people.It is reasonable for students who are celebrating the Chinese New Year to give gifts to the teacher, but there are too many key people.Because the goatee was in charge of beckoning students some time ago, another group of students joined, and there was an additional trainee name, and most of them didn't know each other.

"Miss has already said that those who have been delivered have to be registered and returned." Ergou said: "It's a courtesy."

"Then go down and get busy." Handed over a red envelope, "Come and get it."

"Thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle."

The next day the college was on holiday, so Ma Xiaoshuai didn't go to work, and got up early to prepare for the new year.

Because there are not many people in the family, it is also very convenient to get together.Apart from Dongfang Mu, there were only Ma Xiaoshuai and three of them. They were prepared early in the morning and were taken by Dongfang Mu to worship their ancestors. Speaking of which, the process was very cumbersome, and it took several hours to finish.The last three backs had to be shown to Dongfang Mu, and they just offered tea and said some blessings, and then the old man cheerfully sealed the red envelope. The funny thing was that the two children also had a share in the red envelope.

After finishing these, the family sits and eats together, which is quite lively.Speaking of which, there are not many opportunities to sit and eat with the old man, and everyone is very happy, and Dongfang Mu also talked a lot today, except for Ma Xiaoshuai, they all gave some targeted lectures, but they were all innocuous. Anyone can hear the element of pampering.Ma Xiaoshuai and the others also knew that the subsequent banquet was much more active, and it only ended in the afternoon.
