Wen Rugui felt as if he was struck by an electric current, and suddenly released his hand from her waist: "I'm sorry."
Tong Xuelu glanced down and whistled in her heart.
Mm, bulging.
Very capable.
Wen Rugui met her misty almond eyes, and his whole body felt as if he was struck by an electric current. He
suddenly felt numb.
He slightly turned his body to cover it up, but it looked even more...
Tong Xuelu was a pervert at heart, and pretended to be shy: "Does this make you feel uncomfortable?"
Wen Rugui blushed and shook his head: "No."
He lied, but in fact he felt so uncomfortable that he was about to explode, but he didn't dare to say such a rude word in front of her, for fear of scaring her.
Tong Xuelu sighed in her heart, covered her face and said, "I'm glad you don't feel uncomfortable. I'll go out first."
"Okay."
Wen Rugui saw her turn around and run out of the room, and he let out a long breath.
If he didn't go out, he would be embarrassed.
He quickly opened the window, and the autumn wind blew in, gradually cooling down the mania in his body.
Ten minutes later, he walked out of the room and almost bumped into the old man.
Old Master Wen glanced at his swollen lips, coughed and said, "You have to wait until the guests leave, even if you can't wait any longer. Look at what you look like now?"
Wen Rugui: "..."
Old Master Wen saw that he didn't say anything, and continued to criticize: "You are such a hooligan, and it's only because Xuelu is too simple that she can tolerate you. If it were someone else, they would have broken up with you long ago!" Wen
·Rogue·Rugui: "…………"
Old Master Wen gave him a lecture, and then left with satisfaction. If he knew that the real hooligan was Tong Xuelu, what expression would he have? The barbecue in the yard has been set up. With the experience of the last time, everyone will do it on their own without Tong Xuelu. The children ate osmanthus cake while waiting for the barbecue, and the adults discussed the college entrance examination while grilling. Wei Ran and Fang Jingyuan were both confused. Wei Ran had studied at Beijing University for a year and a half. Now the college entrance examination has suddenly resumed, and the college has stopped recruiting students starting this year. His grandfather asked him to drop out and take the college entrance examination again, but his classmates and seniors from other fields did not drop out, so he was very hesitant. Wei Guozhi said, "Why hesitate? You've been in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Army for more than a year and you haven't learned anything. Now the country has stopped recruiting students. The status of workers, peasants and soldiers will only become more and more embarrassing." Wei Ran still couldn't make up his mind: "But it's too late for me to review now." Wei Guozhi: "I remember that on your birthday last year, didn't Xuelu give you math, physics and chemistry books? Didn't you read them?" Wei Ran blushed and shook his head: "I didn't have time to read them." Although they didn't learn anything in school, they were not idle. In addition to political education every day, they also had to go to factories for internships, and sometimes they had to go to the countryside to learn how to farm. Wei Guozhi looked at him with a look of regret: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, go back to school and tell your teacher. After you drop out, come back and study hard." Wei Ran shook his head: "What if I don't pass the exam?" He had basically forgotten the knowledge of junior high school and high school. There were only two months left before the college entrance examination, and he was afraid that he would not pass. Wei Guozhi: "If you don't pass the exam, you can continue to take the exam next year. Anyway, you are not old, and your grandmother and I will not force you to get married so soon." Hearing about getting married, Wei Ran's face turned even redder. Wei Zhuzhu ran over and was immediately shocked when she saw her brother's face: "Brother, your face is as red as a roasted pig's head. It looks scary." "..." Wei Ran made a fierce expression and glared at her. Wei Zhuzhu screamed and ran away again. Tong Xuelu sat down and picked up the barbecue to grill together and said, "I think what Grandpa Wei said is very right. If we fail the exam this time, we will continue to prepare." The old ones are still the wisest. The students who graduated from the workers, peasants and soldiers were restricted in every way in their work and their status was very embarrassing. But because they had already graduated, they could not retake the college entrance examination. If Wei Ran wanted to take the college entrance examination, it would be best for him to drop out now. In another year or two, it would be impossible for him to start over. Seeing that everyone said so, Wei Ran thought about it and made up his mind: "Okay, then I will go back to the school to handle the withdrawal procedures." As soon as Wei Ran finished speaking, Fang Jingyuan frowned and said, "Xuelu, what do you think, should I take the college entrance examination?" She currently works in the art troupe, and usually performs singing or dancing. This is a job for young people. If you can't move up in the future, you will be assigned to some useless positions when you get older. But she doesn't have the confidence to take the college entrance examination. After all, she graduated several years ago and her grades are not good. Tong Xuelu said, "Do you have a major you want to apply for?" Fang Jingyuan's face flashed a shy look: "I have always thought that making movies is fun." Xiao Chengping suddenly interrupted and said, "Do you want to be an actor?" Students in the drama academy are generally good-looking. He suspected that she just wanted to see good-looking gay men. "What do you care?" Fang Jingyuan glared at him and said to Tong Xuelu, "I want to be a director." Oh, I didn't expect the big-headed girl to be so dreamy. Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "If you are afraid of not passing the exam, then don't quit your job in the art troupe. It won't hurt to try anyway." If she doesn't quit her job in the art troupe, she can attack or retreat, and the pressure on her won't be so great. Fang Jingyuan thought about it and nodded, "You are right. It would be a bit embarrassing if I fail the exam, but I won't lose anything." Wei Ran, who was standing by, heard this and immediately felt the pressure on his shoulders even greater. He was the kind of person who would have no way out once he dropped out of school, which was completely the opposite of Fang Jingyuan. In addition to Tong Xuelu, Wei Ran and Fang Jingyuan who decided to take the college entrance examination, Jiang Danhong also came to Tong Xuelu's birthday party today.
Jiang Danhong was the oldest among them, but everyone supported her decision.
In fact, Jiang Danhong's situation was not unusual in this era. This year's college entrance examination had no age restrictions or marital status restrictions, so many old educated youth signed up for the college entrance examination.
Wen Rugui came over and sat down next to Tong Xuelu, and took the barbecue from her hand and grilled it: "You go and rest aside, I'll grill it."
Tong Xuelu smiled at him, stood up, went to the house, took out two math and physics books, and gave them to Fang Jingyuan and Jiang Danhong respectively.
Jiang Danhong touched the booklet, with a look of cherishment and emotion on her face: "Thank you, Xuelu, this gift is so precious!"
Fang Jingyuan was even more excited and jumped up to hug her: "I was just worried whether I could buy review materials, now it's all right, thank you."
Since the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination spread, test materials have been hard to come by, and those who have junior and senior high school textbooks at home have also become popular.
Xiao Chengping glanced at Fang Jingyuan, who was overjoyed, and his heart became more and more irritated.
Just now, he heard that Fang Jingyuan was going to take the college entrance examination, and he actually wanted his uncle to help him get a set of review materials.
He is really sick. What does it have to do with him whether his brain can get into college?
The night wind blew, and the yard was filled with the smell of barbecue.
Everyone was eating barbecue while talking about the future, feeling comfortable and beautiful.
The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival when the moon was full and families were reunited. Tong Xuelu made moon cakes for everyone just like last year.
Then she took Xiao Jiaming and his three siblings to the Wen family to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Tong Xuelu and Zong Shu were busy in the kitchen, making a table full of delicious dishes for everyone.
Because Wen Rugui likes to eat fish, she specially made a steamed fish for him today.
She poured the prepared soy sauce on the fish, sprinkled scallions and ginger, and then poured hot oil on the steamed fish.
With a "sizzle" sound, a tempting fragrance floated up and filled the entire kitchen.
After the oil was splashed on, the fish exuded a layer of light and looked extremely tender.
The fragrance wafted out of the window. Several other families in the yard smelled it and swallowed their saliva subconsciously, their eyes staring straight into the Wen family's house.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Commander Wen, what are you cooking at home? Why does it smell so good?"
"Yeah, I'm almost drooling. Usually, Uncle Zong's cooking doesn't seem to be this good?"
Old Master Wen said proudly, "Xiao Zong's cooking is only average. Today, the object of Rugui's return came to our house to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together, and she was cooking."
"Oh, is Rugui's object the former manager of Dongfeng Hotel?"
Old Master Wen became more and more proud, and said with his chest puffed out, "Yes, she also got a first-class chef certificate. I'm not exaggerating. That kid is so smart and capable. Ordinary people can't compare to her at all."
Everyone: "..."
If this is not exaggeration, then what is exaggeration?
"By the way, why did she quit? Since she left, the food in Dongfeng Hotel doesn't seem to be so delicious."
"I think so too. I used to go there at least once or twice a month, but now I eat the same dishes over and over again, which is boring."
Old Master Wen: "She is going to take the college entrance examination. I'm not exaggerating. With her intelligence, she will definitely be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University!"
Everyone: "..."
Why didn't I notice that Old Master Wen was so humble before?
Is it so easy to get into Tsinghua University and Peking University?
Tong Xulu may cook delicious food, but it's a bit exaggerated to hear that she only graduated from junior high school and wants to be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University.
However, everyone was embarrassed to say it directly in front of Old Master Wen, so they just laughed it off and went back.
Old Master Wen didn't care what they thought, and turned around to go back to eat.
In addition to steamed fish, Tong Xuelu also made steamed taro ribs, vegetarian pan-fried buns, and corn and radish chicken soup.
The steamed fish is tender and fresh, a delicacy on the tip of the tongue. The ribs are mixed with the taste of taro, fresh and chewy. The taro is steamed soft, glutinous and moist, which is most suitable for the teeth of Mr. Wen.
Take a bite of the vegetarian pan-fried buns, and the various fillings will fill the whole mouth immediately. The soup will spread out, fragrant and crispy, and it is not worse than the delicacies of mountains and seas.
Everyone was very satisfied with this meal, and their stomachs were full.
After finishing the meal, Mr. Wen took the snacks to show off to Lao Jiang next door, making Lao Jiang envious and tears flow from the corners of his mouth.
At this time, the atmosphere in the Tong family of the General Logistics Department compound was a bit heavy.
Last year, Tong Xuelu did not come to give gifts because of the rain, but she still had someone send moon cakes the next day.
It did not rain during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, so they thought she would come, but they waited for a whole day and didn't see anyone.
Cai Chunlan pouted and said, "It seems that someone has made up his mind not to associate with our Tong family."
Tong's second brother glanced at her and whispered, "Say less or no one will think you are dumb!"
Cai Chunlan was very unhappy, but when she looked up and saw that her mother-in-law's face was as stinky as a stinky ditch, she suddenly felt a little inexplicably happy.
At this time, Tong's mother seemed to have a big stone stuck in her chest, making it very difficult for her to breathe.
She originally thought that if Tong Xuelu came during the Mid-Autumn Festival, she would forgive her and then reconnect the two families.
Tong Xuelu's grandfather is a commander, and it is said that he will be transferred back to Beijing next month. If she can ask him to help, her two sons should be able to move up.
Unexpectedly, she did not come, and there was no sign of the festival gifts.
What an ungrateful person!
Cai Chunlan is a person who can't keep quiet. After a minute of silence, she started talking again: "By the way, I heard that Tong Xuelu quit her position as a hotel manager and is going to take the college entrance examination."
"I remember that she failed every time when she was in school and almost couldn't graduate. With her grades, she dared to take the college entrance examination. It's really ridiculous!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard the news.
Chen Yueling: "Did she really quit her position as a hotel manager?"
Cai Chunlan smiled and nodded, mockingly saying: "Yes, there are many people who take the college entrance examination, but it's rare to see someone as stupid as her quitting her job. If she fails the exam, it will be really embarrassing!"
Brother Tong frowned and said, "She is so impulsive."
Others thought so too. They all felt that Tong Xuelu would definitely not be able to get into college.
Not only would it be embarrassing to go back, but she would also lose her job. This is more than just impulsive, this is completely stupid!
When Tong's mother heard the news, the big stone in her chest suddenly fell, and she immediately ate two more bowls of rice.
**
The first college entrance examination was resumed. Because there were few restrictions, although the registration fee was a bit expensive at 50 cents, as long as there was a junior high school graduate or above, basically everyone took part in this college entrance examination.
Tong Xuelu initially wanted to apply for the business management major, but after consideration, she applied for the English major.
Of course, after graduation, she did not want to work in the English-related industry, she would continue to do work related to food.
In addition to running her own factory and hotel, she plans to spread Chinese food to the world.
Chinese food culture condenses five thousand years of civilization and wisdom. The food of "color, fragrance, taste, and utensils" is enough to conquer everyone.
To spread food, it is very necessary to master English.
Although she had learned English before she traveled through the book, she was not professional, so she planned to improve her English.
On this day, she and Fang Jingyuan went to the Education Bureau to get the admission ticket.
It was written on her admission ticket:
Admission Ticket for Unified College Enrollment in 1977
Examination Area: Beijing
Category: Science
Name: Tong Xuelu
(Additional Test Subject: English)
Number: 254250
Beijing Higher Education Admissions Committee Office Seal
Tong Xuelu saw her number and her mouth twitched fiercely.
Do you have to be so embarrassing, 54250, I am a fool.
Damn!
Fang Jingyuan came over to look at her admission ticket, with a face full of envy: "Why do you look so good in the photos you took?"
Tong Xuelu said without hesitation: "There's nothing I can do, I'm naturally beautiful."
Fang Jingyuan: "..."
When she passed by Xinhua Bookstore on the way back, she saw a long line outside.
The library was also full of people. At a glance, there were heads everywhere. Even the windowsills were full of people. Some people who came late did not get a seat and had to sit on the floor.
In the past ten years, intellectuals have suffered a heavy blow. At that time, they even promoted the "uselessness of studying", but now that absurd era has passed. The
resumption of the college entrance examination this time has injected the most powerful shot of adrenaline into intellectuals across the country. They are ecstatic and their eyes are full of curiosity.
Every time Tong Xuelu sees this scene, she feels excited.
After parting with Fang Jingyuan, she did not go home directly, but went to the printing factory.
The guard of the printing factory saw her and said with a smile: "Comrade Tong, you are here?"
Tong Xuelu smiled and said: "I have an appointment with the factory director, he is inside, right?"
The guard smiled so much that the wrinkles on both corners of his face came out: "Yes, yes, please go in." This
was not the first time Tong Xuelu came here. She did not need anyone to lead her and went directly to the factory director's office.
When Director Zhou saw her coming, he stood up and said with a smile: "Comrade Tong, you are finally here, please sit down."
Tong Xuelu sat down on the sofa.
Director Zhou asked someone to pour a cup of tea and took out the candies and melon seeds prepared early in the morning: "Comrade Tong, please have some."
Tong Xuelu smiled and expressed her gratitude.
Director Zhou did not beat around the bush and directly took out two envelopes from the drawer: "This is the money for the math, physics and chemistry books last time, and the other one is a thank-you gift from the printing factory to Comrade Tong."
The country suddenly announced the resumption of the college entrance examination. Many people could not find books or review materials, and they could not buy them even if they had money.
Their printing factory was also very anxious. The higher-ups gave them a quota and asked them to print materials as soon as possible. But
they did not say what materials to print. Everything happened so suddenly that no one could answer.
At this time, the Wen family contacted them and said that they had about 950 books in their hands, and that the books they had could be used as review materials.
After getting the booklet, they quickly went to consult the Education Bureau to confirm that this material could indeed be used as review material. They were immediately ecstatic.
Because they got the review material earlier than other printing factories, the booklets they printed were quickly sent to bookstores and libraries across the country.
Now their printing factory is well-known throughout the country and has become a weathervane in the printing industry.
All this is thanks to the Wen family.
Director Zhou and the Wen family are relatives in some way, but because the relationship is not very close, they don’t usually get to know each other.
This time, they got so many booklets through the Wen family, and their factory naturally had to express gratitude.
Director Zhou didn’t know that these booklets belonged to Tong Xuelu, and just thought that the Wen family sent her to deal with this matter, so he didn’t mention the Wen family at all.
These things are all done in private and cannot be made public.
Tong Xuelu didn't count the money, picked up the envelope and put it in her military bag: "Thank you
, Director Zhou. I know Director Zhou is a cautious person, but I still want to remind you that when I leave this door, we will not know each other anymore." Director Zhou nodded repeatedly: "I understand. Comrade Tong came here twice just to consult about printing matters."
Tong Xuelu nodded with satisfaction and turned around and walked out of Director Zhou's office.
She got a thousand math, physics and chemistry books from Xiao's mother. At first, she wanted to sell them herself, but her current identity is different from before.
Now she is the commander's granddaughter, and her fiance's family background is also different. If she sells them privately, the risk is too great.
So she told Wen Rugui about the booklet, and Wen Rugui found some connections and contacted Director Zhou.
She sold the booklet to Director Zhou at a fair price in private, and got rid of it.
With the Wen family backing her up, she believed that Director Zhou would not be so stupid as to expose the matter.
Moreover, if he did, he would definitely be punished.
After returning home, Tong Xuelu took out the two envelopes and opened them.
She got a total of 580 yuan from selling the booklets, and 200 yuan as a thank-you fee.
It added up to almost 800 yuan, which was her pocket money.
She made a lot of money.
From that day on, Tong Xuelu no longer went out, and concentrated on reviewing for the college entrance examination at home.
Sometimes Wei Ran, Fang Jingyuan, Jiang Danhong and others would come to discuss questions with her.
Time flew to November.
The weather was getting colder and colder, and the pre-examination was held on the 27th.
The pre-examination only tested Chinese and mathematics, and Tong Xuelu passed it easily.
Only a few people were eliminated in the pre-examination, and most people passed.
On December 9th, it was snowing heavily, and the weather was so cold that people's teeth were trembling.
Tong Xuelu sat on the back of Wen Rugui's bicycle and came to the examination room to take the college entrance examination.
Many people had come to the examination room. Their eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, but their bodies were shaking like sieves.
Wen Rugui saw that her face was red from the cold, and said softly, "Come over here, I'll block the wind for you."
Tong Xuelu looked up and smiled at him, "I'm wearing so much, and I have a hot water bag inside my clothes, so I'm not cold at all."
For this college entrance examination, the whole family went out.
Because the exam was in December, Wen Rugui bought her a hot water bag through various connections and relationships, and bought her gloves at the department store.
At this time, she was wearing a military coat, a military cap on her head, woolen gloves on her hands, a scarf around her neck, and a hot water bag in her arms.
She really wasn't cold at all.
To be honest, she still felt a little hot at this moment.
Seeing her complete equipment, everyone cast envious eyes at her.
Then they looked at Wen Rugui standing next to her. He was gentle, young, handsome, and had a bicycle, which made the girls feel sour.
The guard came out and knocked on the gong a few times: "Enter the examination room, candidates are entering the examination room."
Tong Xulu stuffed the hot water bag into Wen Rugui's arms, raised her head and smiled: "I'm going in."
Wen Rugui handed her the cardboard in his hand: "Okay, I'll wait for you outside."
Everyone saw Tong Xulu holding the cardboard in her hand and didn't know what she was going to do with it at first, but after entering the examination room, they couldn't help but envy her again.
Some desks are bumpy. If there is nothing on the top, it is easy to puncture the test paper if you are not careful when writing.
Tong Xuelu had no worries during the exam because she was well prepared.
The college entrance examination lasted for three days.
Tong Xuelu had to take an additional English test because she applied for the English major.
After the exam, there were cries of pain in the exam room, and many people said they would definitely fail.
There were additional questions in Chinese and mathematics, but few people could answer them.
Tong Xuelu answered them all.
Those questions were very difficult for candidates of this era, but very simple for Tong Xuelu, who had traveled through time and space.
For example, the additional question in mathematics was actually a very simple calculus, but many people said they couldn't understand it at all.
After the exam, the teachers immediately started to read the papers nervously.
On January 25th, the results finally came out in everyone's expectation.
Tong Xuelu scored 494 points out of a total of 500 points, including 100 points in English.
Her score ranked first among all the candidates in Beijing.
The Tong family in the General Logistics Department compound was stunned when they heard the news.
