Quincy's Quiet Contemplation Chapter 36

From then on, whenever Ma Sheng came home, he would always stand under the door and look in the mirror for a while. The back window of Xing Zulu's house in the mirror did not have wooden panels, just a large grid frame with no paper and a cloth curtain. The curtain is often open, and the wife sleeps on the kang. She likes to raise her legs. Maybe they think it is too bright, so the curtain is sometimes closed again. Only the calico curtain was left in the mirror, so Ma Sheng swallowed his saliva and wandered around the room in boredom.

At this time, Ma Sheng went out to the poor farmers' houses to brag. When it came to dividing the land, he would always say that when it came to dividing the land of Li Changxia's family, Shuanlao was afraid of this and that, but he just took it hard. Ha, isn't it divided after it is divided? ! Those poor peasants gave him food and drink, saying that the shackles were too soft and that doing the work of the peasant association would require a knife and a fire! Ma Sheng said: Shuanlao seems to have something going on at home recently. Is he not in good health? Those poor peasants said: If your health is not good, you should be honest! Ma Sheng chuckled and said, "It's all the same whether it's a good one or a bad one."

It is true that Shuan Lao and his wife have not gotten along since the beginning of spring. There are often blood marks on his face, which are obviously scratches by nails. He said that he left them hanging from the tree branches, but from time to time he would cover his stomach and admit that he had a stomach problem. When he found Ma Sheng to keep accounts, Ma Sheng said: I can't read, so you'd better fill up the account book. I can eat and run. I'll get the seal for you. You tell me where to press it, and I'll do it. Where to press! Shuanlao said, "What does this mean?" Ma Sheng said: Your health is not good, isn’t it for your own good? Shuan Lao said, "Don't give me any ideas. I have a bad stomach. I have gastric medicine in my pocket just for fun!"

On this day, Ma Sheng was walking in the alley, his belt was loosened, and one end was hanging in front of his legs. He suddenly thought that the thing hanging was his, and he hummed: "Three twists around the waist, eight feet on the ground." , chasing crows in the air! Look up at the sky. Xing Zulu's wife was carrying a pair of sheep intestines to wash in the river. She happened upon them and said, "What are you looking at?" Ma Sheng said: Look at the sky. Xing Zulu’s daughter-in-law said: Are you looking at the sky? Ma Sheng said: Let's see if we can go to heaven! Xing Zulu’s daughter-in-law said: I used a dustpan and went up! Ma Sheng said: Really? He pinched Xing Zulu's wife's B*tt0cks. Xing Zulu's daughter-in-law ignored it and said, "Can I give you something more?" Ma Sheng said: Is it too much for you to suffer? ! His hands went to his arms again. This time Xing Zulu's wife swung the sheep's intestines over, hit Ma Sheng in the face, and twisted away. Ma Sheng calmed down for a long time and said: Do you think you are a cabbage? ! Unexpectedly, the cabbage that was passing by at the entrance of the alley disappeared in a flash, and it was Zhang Gaogui's wife who entered the alley. Ma Sheng said: Did Baicai go to the temple again? Zhang Gaogui's wife ignored him. Ma Sheng said: You landowner, are you ignoring me? Zhang Gaogui's wife said: The landowner dare not pay attention to you. Ma Sheng said: Did Baicai go to the temple? Zhang Gaogui's wife said: How can I know where she is going? Ma Sheng said: She supported the printed papa. Zhang Gaogui's wife said: Oh, there will be a temple fair in two days. Ma Sheng said: Damn, the monk is getting rich again!

After scolding the monk for getting rich, Ma Sheng suddenly thought that there were twenty acres of land in the temple. Why wasn't it taken back? So Ma Sheng went to the Iron Buddha Temple again at noon.
