In a community in Haidian, in front of Room 101 on the first floor of a certain building, Ma Xiaolong pressed the doorbell.

Ding dong

After a while, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman in her forties and slightly stout appeared behind the door.

"Auntie!" Ma Xiaolong said with a smile, "We are here to play.

"Ouch! Xiaolong and Xiaofeng are here too! Hey? Who are these three little girls?" This was the first time that Aunt Liu Lian saw Zhusha and the others. Her eyes widened when she saw that each of the three little girls was prettier than the other.

"My wife, my god sister, and my classmate." Ma Xiaolong introduced the three girls to his aunt one by one: "Just call me aunt."

"Hello, aunt." x3

"Hey! Okay, come in quickly." The aunt happily let everyone into the house.

Seeing that his aunt was alone at home, Ma Xiaolong asked, "Where is my uncle?"

"I went to Teacher Wu's house." The aunt cleaned up the dining table in the south room and said, "You didn't even call in advance, and the house is still in a mess!"

Teacher Wu is a professor of history at Peking University. Because his uncle sells cold drinks at a stall in the alley of the south gate of Peking University, Teacher Wu often goes there to buy popsicle soda. He has become familiar with it after going back and forth. During the holidays, he plays chess and other things together when he has nothing to do. It rained today, so my uncle couldn't leave the stall, so he probably went to Teacher Wu's house to play chess.

Ma Xiaolong smiled and said: "We just thought of coming here temporarily, please don't move and leave it to us!"

"That won't work. How can I let you do my job?"

"You're welcome."

Several people worked together to clean the dining table, sweep the floor, and wash the dishes, each one more diligent than the other.

The aunt blinked her eyes, happily took out half a watermelon from the refrigerator, cut it, put it on a plate, and brought it to the dinner table: ‘Come on, eat the watermelon.”

Several people were sitting around the dining table eating watermelon. There was a coffee table placed against the east wall. On the coffee table was a large fish tank with several colorful tropical fish in it. They were quite beautiful.

In the southeast corner is a wooden table with a TV on it. The TV is on and playing "Journey to the West" that must be replayed in the summer. This episode is "Battle of Three Monsters", which is a very funny episode.

"The place where grains are reincarnated is a latrine. It stinks!"

Amid Bajie's complaints, the aunt looked at Zhusha happily and said: "I have been hearing that Xiaolong found a beautiful wife for the past two years, but I never had the chance to take a look. Today I finally saw her.

Zhusha smiled and said: "It looks a bit ugly, doesn't it scare you?

"Hahaha, that's so humorous." The aunt was so happy: "He looks like a celebrity. Xiaolong is really lucky."

"This is called a perfect match." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile.

"Yes, it's a perfect match, it's a perfect match." The aunt laughed and said, "Don't leave today at noon. Auntie will go buy hairtail and stew it for you later.

"You stew the hairtail, and I'll fry some more vegetables." Ma Xiaolong said:

"To tell you the truth, my cooking skills are quite good now.

Let me give you a taste of my craftsmanship,

"Really?" The aunt smiled and said, "Okay, we will go to the vegetable market together later and buy whatever we want.'

"Okay." Ma Xiaolong raised his wrist and looked at the time. It was nine forty, and the rain stopped in about twenty minutes.

"By the way, where has your dad been these days?" The aunt asked, "He hasn't been here for two or three months.'

"He! He's staying in Xiangjiang!" Ma Xiaolong said with a smile.

"Why did you go to Xiangjiang?" asked the aunt.

"Isn't this the financial crisis in Southeast Asia? He went to cut leeks." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile.

“Cut leeks?’

"There are professional people who do this, and they just keep an eye on it," Ma Xiaolong said.

"Oh." The aunt seemed to understand. Well, she didn't understand at all, and she didn't realize it. "Your dad is really traveling all over the world now and he can be considered a capable person."

"Ha, that's it. My dad also said that he couldn't keep up with the times and always muttered that he wanted to go back to the countryside to raise pigs!" Ma Xiaolong said with a smile.

"I've heard about this too." The aunt said, "You said he's doing a good job now. If he wants money and face, what kind of pigs can he raise in the countryside? He's really a wild boar.

Can't eat fine chaff.'

"Everyone has his or her own ambitions!" Ma Xiaolong took out a piece of White Rabbit candy from his pocket and said, "Auntie, you can eat the candy."

"I won't eat anymore." The aunt waved her hand: "Auntie has tooth decay, and when it hurts, she always puts painkillers in the cavity."

"Oh? Have you gone to the hospital?" Ma Xiaolong asked.

"Toothache is not a disease, why should I go to the hospital?" said the aunt.

"Auntie, toothache is really a disease." Ma Xiaolong said: "You'd better take the time to go and have a look! Whether it's repaired or extracted? Or something else, it's better than being in such pain.

"Let's talk about it later!" He said this, but he probably made up his mind not to go.

"You are really... Let me show you!" Ma Xiaolong stood up, walked to his aunt, and said, "Just shut your mouth and don't move.

"Can you still see a doctor?'

"You know better, don't move." Ma Xiaolong put his hand on his aunt's cheek, squeezing it, pressing it, and asked, "Does it hurt?" "It doesn't hurt."

"Yes." Ma Xiaolong moved his hand to his aunt's scalp, pressed it one by one, and kept asking if it hurt.

The aunt kept saying it didn't hurt, until Ma Xiaolong pressed on a place, and the aunt let out an ouch: "It hurts!"

"Here?" Ma Xiaolong pressed again.

"Ouch! Yes, it's right here. It's pulling on my back molars. It really hurts."

When several girls saw this, they were very surprised. Ma Xiaofeng said: "Really or not? You just touched your back molars a few times?"

"The teeth themselves are connected to the nerves. As long as you memorize the meridian diagram, you can almost understand it." Ma Xiaolong said.

." Ma Xiaofeng didn't understand.

Ma Xiaolong let go of his hand and said, "Okay, I almost understand."

The aunt moved her mouth and asked: "Are you really good at treating it?"

"Dentistry itself is simple." Ma Xiaolong took out an acupuncture bag that looked like a wallet from his pocket. After opening it, he pulled out a silver needle and said, "Auntie, I'll prick you a few times. Don't be afraid, it won't hurt at all.

'

"Doesn't it really hurt?" The aunt was scared when she saw the long needle: "What should I do if it hurts?"

Ma Xiaolong smiled and said, "Auntie, it really doesn't hurt. Even if it hurts, the pain is not as painful as a mosquito bite! Compared with your toothache, it's like it doesn't hurt at all."

"Then...then go ahead and pierce it! Be gentle," the aunt warned.

"Don't worry, my skills are very good. By the way, aunt, when will my uncle come back?" Ma Xiaolong asked.

"In this kind of weather, unless it's sunny, we won't be able to come back until noon," the aunt said.

"He's not eating at Teacher Wu's house?"

"If he is not a relative or an acquaintance, why should he care about his food?" The aunt said, "I will definitely come back for lunch at noon.'

"Then I have to work hard at noon, so I can finish the whole table." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile.

The aunt laughed: "You have to work hard, it won't be good if it doesn't taste good.

"Don't worry, if it doesn't taste good, I'll throw myself into the pot and stew it." Ma Xiaolong said.

"Hahaha, how can you stew your own food?" The aunt was very happy: "It's almost enough, your uncle and I are not picky eaters.

"Then I'm relieved." Ma Xiaolong gently twisted the silver needle and said, "After dinner, we want to go to Beijing University to visit. We won't stop you at the door, right?'

"Just say you are the nephew of Old Li, the popsicle seller, and leave after playing for a while without stopping," the aunt said.

"That's good. I'll probably take the college entrance examination in a few years, and I'll probably take the Beijing University entrance examination. It will be close by then, so I can come and see you and my uncle more often." Ma Xiaolong said.

"Okay! That's great. Then I won't live on campus anymore. I'll just live in the community. Anyway, you have a lot of houses, so you can live in them as long as you like." The aunt said happily.

"I think so too." Ma Xiaolong smiled, pulled out the silver needle and said, "Okay, Auntie, does your tooth still hurt now?

"Teeth?" The aunt was stunned for a moment, and then she moved her words: "It doesn't hurt anymore?" She moved again, and even licked the back molars with her tongue, "It really doesn't hurt anymore!?"

The aunt was surprised and happy: "Xiaolong, are you done now?

"It's over, doesn't it hurt?" Ma Xiaolong asked with a smile.

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all." The aunt made a few chewing movements and exclaimed: "It's amazing! Xiaolong, when did you learn medical skills?'

"I have been studying on my own these years." Ma Xiaolong said: "My grandma, grandpa, and my mother's bodies have all been adjusted by me. They are getting younger year by year. This year, you can come to my house for a few days during the Chinese New Year to see with your own eyes.

change."

"I really have to go back and take a look." The aunt said with emotion: "In the blink of an eye, I haven't been back to my parents' home for ten years. I have to go back this year to see the changes in my hometown.

"My hometown has not changed much in the past ten years, but there should be bigger changes in the next ten years." Ma Xiaolong said while disinfecting the silver needle.

"What's the matter, can you tell fortunes?" the aunt said with a smile.

"I'm not good at fortune telling. I calculated it based on the country's development over the years." Ma Xiaolong said: "The country has developed very quickly in these years, but it is not fast enough. It is said that we are negotiating with the World Trade Organization, and it is likely to be negotiated in the next few years.

As a result, once our country joins the WTO, there will be no tariff barriers, and we can directly exchange goods with foreign countries, our economic development will definitely take off.

"I think the development is quite fast now." My aunt doesn't understand the WTO, but she has been in the capital for so many years and has witnessed the rapid development of the capital in the past twenty years. In her opinion, the development in the past twenty years has been earth-shaking.

, the Fourth Ring Road has been under construction for several years, and this year, Tong County has become Tongzhou District. I really can’t imagine how fast it will be in the future.
