Seeing Tong Jiaxin's face full of injustice, Tong Xuelu almost couldn't help laughing.
I didn't expect that grandpa also had such a naughty side.
The weather was too hot, so she made some food to cool down everyone. She made mung bean cakes with mung beans and boiled winter melon, barley and pork ribs soup.
The winter melon was grown in the yard by herself. It grew very well and there were too many to eat.
In addition to boiling soup, it can also be made into winter melon strips. The winter melon peel can be washed and dried to make Chinese medicine tea, which has the effect of cooling down and diuresis.
Tong Xuelu doesn't like to eat winter melon strips, thinking it is too sweet, but for children of this generation, they like anything sweet.
Xiao Mianmian has started to change her teeth recently. She lost another front tooth yesterday. Tong Jiaxin, her unreliable brother, always teases her about this. The little girl is very sad.
But when she sees food, she immediately grins, revealing a toothless smile. It is so cute and funny.
The brothers and sisters have caught up with the nutrition. They are taller than ordinary children, with fair and clean skin, which perfectly surpasses the children of the same age.
Commander Xiao likes to show off his grandchildren when he goes out.
After the old men finished playing cards, Tong Xuelu brought the winter melon, barley and pork ribs soup to the living room for everyone to drink.
Winter melon, barley and pork ribs soup is refreshing and perfect for hot summer weather. Everyone drank two bowls before stopping.
Tong Xuelu told the department head about rejecting her recommendation to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Wei Guozhi couldn't help but look regretful after hearing this: "It's good to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Xuelu, why don't you consider it?"
Tong Xuelu shook her head: "I'm not interested in this."
Wei Guozhi wanted to persuade her, but Shen Wanrong pulled his hand and glared at him, so he shut up.
Commander Xiao put down the bowl in his hand, looked at her and said: "You have always been a child with your own ideas. Now that you have made up your mind, just do it according to your ideas. Grandpa supports you."
Tong Xuelu's mouth curled up: "Thank you, Grandpa."
She was actually quite afraid that Grandpa would join the persuasion team. There is no distinction between noble and humble careers, only likes and dislikes.
Going to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is very stressful, and she doesn't want to live such a tiring life.
Besides, diplomats must be stationed abroad, and basically more than half of their careers will be spent abroad.
Only when they have enough qualifications can they return to the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take up an important position, which means that she must be separated from her family and Wen Rugui.
And Wen Rugui's identity and job destined him to be unable to go abroad.
Therefore, whether from the perspective of personality, preferences, or future development, she never wanted to go into politics, let alone become a diplomat.
Seeing Commander Xiao being thanked by Tong Xuelu, Grandpa Wen quickly expressed his thoughts: "Xuelu, Grandpa also supports you, you can do whatever you want."
With the family background of their Wen family, even if she doesn't want to work after graduation, they can still support her.
Moreover, he doesn't want Tong Xuelu to go abroad. If that happens, he won't be able to eat the delicious food she cooks in the future.
Tong Xuelu: "Thank you, Grandpa Wen, with your support, no matter what I do in the future, I will be very confident."
Grandpa Wen's beard trembled with joy.
Commander Xiao couldn't stand his cocky look, and snorted: "Xuelu calls you Wen Yeye, not Grandpa. You stubborn old man, stop trying to replace me."
Old Master Wen didn't get angry, but laughed even more cocky: "After Xuelu and Rugui get married, they will call me Grandpa. You will be jealous then?"
Commander Xiao: "..."
Tong Xuelu shook her head helplessly.
The combined age of the two is over 100 years old, and they quarrel like children every day.
Here, everyone is in harmony, but at this time, the Shi family is in turmoil.
After Shi Junmin was shot, Shi Erge and Shi Ersao seemed to have aged by more than ten years. Because Shi Er's grandfather passed away, Shi Erge could not stay in Jingshi for a long time. He and Cheng Xiuyun went back to Jinshi without seeing his son's body.
Shi Ersao collected her son's body by herself. Because transportation was inconvenient in those days, she could not bring the body back to Jinshi. She could only bury her son in the cemetery in Jingshi.
When they returned to Jinshi, Shi Ersao started to make a fuss. She did not fight like before, but her purpose was very clear - divorce.
Shi Erge thought she was just talking in anger before, but she was serious.
"Alan, what are you doing? You are already so old, why are you getting a divorce? Don't you feel ashamed if it gets out?"
Shi's second wife looked at him coldly: "Ashamed? I didn't feel ashamed when my son was shot, so why should I feel ashamed if I divorce you?"
It really fits the old saying "Good news never goes out, but bad news travels a thousand miles". Since the news of Shi Junmin being shot got out, she has seen all kinds of human warmth and coldness.
Not to mention that everyone avoided them, what's even worse is that she, her husband, and her second son were persuaded to quit by their unit.
But Shi Xiuneng and Cheng Xiuyun, those two scumbags, were not caught at all.
How could she not hate them?
But she didn't want to waste time with Cheng Xiuyun anymore, nor did she want revenge. The Shi family could do whatever they wanted to her. She just wanted to get a divorce and start over.
When Shi Erge heard her mention the shooting of his son, he was immediately heartbroken and embarrassed: "It is because Junmin is gone that our family has to live a good life and work together. If we get divorced and the news gets out, what will you do with the two little ones?"
Cheng Xiuyun was called over to persuade her. Seeing Shi Erge looking at her frequently, she had to speak: "Second sister-in-law..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her mouth, Shi Erge pointed at her and cursed: "Shut up, you bitch. If you dare to say another word, I will beat you so that you can't leave this door!"
If she didn't have a son and a daughter, she would definitely die with Cheng Xiuyun and his wife.
Cheng Xiuyun met her sinister eyes and felt a pain on her scalp, and she dared not speak again.
Last time, she was beaten badly by Shi Ersao at the Beijing Railway Station. The wound on her face has healed now, but her hair will not grow back for a while, which really pissed her off.
Shi Ersao glared at her coldly, turned her head and said, "If you really care about the two little ones, you should divorce me. After the divorce, the two children will take my surname, so that they can still live a good life."
With a brother who was shot, the two children will be laughed at in school and at work, and they may not be able to find a job.
If they get divorced and change their surnames, they can start over after moving to another place. As long as they give up revenge, the Wen family should let them go.
She has already lost a son, and she doesn't want to go on like this.
The second brother Shi's face sank: "What? You want the two children to have your surname? I don't agree!"
The second wife of Shi snorted coldly: "The worst thing I have done in my life is to be blind and fall in love with such a selfish man like you. In your eyes, there is only your Shi family, and you never care about the life and death of me and my children."
"I have been wrong for so many years, I can't make the same mistake again, we must get a divorce, as for whether the two children want to stay or go with me, let them decide for themselves."
Shi Erge was about to object, but then he heard Shi Ersao said: "It doesn't matter if you are determined not to divorce me, I will poison all of you in the Shi family with a bottle of pesticide, and we will all go to hell together!"
Shi Erge: "..."
Cheng Xiuyun: "..."
Shi Xiu could not stand it anymore: "Second brother, the second sister-in-law is crazy, since she wants a divorce, then you should get a divorce." If
they don't get a divorce, she is so crazy now, maybe one day she will really poison them to death.
Shi Erge was also scared, he went to the room to call the two children out and asked for their opinions.
Their second son Shi Junjun said, "Of course I want to stay in the Shi family. My brother died so tragically, I must avenge him!"
Hearing Shi Junjun's words, the Shi family and others were very comforted.
However, the youngest daughter Shi Bichun hesitated for a long time and finally chose to go with her mother, Shi Ersao.
Shi Junjun was so angry that his face turned red. He looked at her as if she were a traitor: "Little sister, you don't persuade mom not to get a divorce at this time. You want to change your surname and go with her. Is your head stuck in the door?"
Shi Bichun was still a little hesitant, but now she was scolded like this and she became more determined: "Mom and I are both smart. You are the ones with problems. Look at the end of my eldest brother and the Shi family. Don't they wake you up?"
In fact, the people of the Shi family are not unaware, but their sunk capital is too large. They have been left with nothing by the Wen family. It would be unwilling to give up on them at this time.
Two lives, if there was a possibility of reconciliation before, it is completely impossible now.
This is a blood feud!
Mrs. Shi originally wanted to take the two children away together, but her youngest son had been violent and impulsive since he was young. He hated the Wen family very much before, and now that he saw his eldest brother was dead, he would definitely not let it go.
Mrs. Shi was filled with helplessness. She took her second son's hand and said, "Junjun, go with me, don't think about revenge..."
But before she finished her words, her hand was shaken away by Shi Junjun: "Mom, I have to warn you, if you dare to divorce my dad, you will no longer be my mother after you leave this house, and I will not even look at you when you are old and dead!" Mrs. Shi
felt that her heart was stabbed by her second son: "You are all crazy people in the Shi family, Xiaochun, go with me, we will stay away from them."
In the end, Mrs. Shi divorced her second brother, took her daughter to another province to seek refuge with relatives, and changed her daughter's surname to her own.
Although the three brothers of the Shi family did not turn against each other on the surface, their relationship was no longer as strong as before.
What's worse is that Shi Xiuneng and his son Shi Junjun have lost their jobs and are now completely supported by Shi Xiuneng's family.
Shi Xiuneng and Cheng Xiuyun had a daughter fifteen years after they got married. Their daughter is only seven years old this year and has just entered the second grade of elementary school.
Their salary is more than enough to support a daughter, but it is a bit stretched to support two more adults.
It would be fine if the other party was a little grateful, but one would just sigh every day, and the other would sit and wait for food like the eldest grandfather, and would not even help to hold the soy sauce bottle when it fell over at home.
What's more, Cheng Xiuyun even let them wash their clothes.
Cheng Xiuyun was very dissatisfied.
Looking at her hands that were getting thicker day by day, she wanted Shi Xiuneng and his son to cook and wash clothes by themselves, and they would give them some living expenses every month.
Who knew that although Shi Junjun was impulsive, he was not stupid. He rejected her suggestion on the spot. Cheng Xiuyun wanted to persuade him again, but he said on the spot, "You ruined our Shi family and killed my eldest brother. You owe us this." Cheng Xiuyun was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
The days passed in such chaos, and the relationship between the two families became worse and worse.
Although they had not fallen out yet, it was too late.
**
It was Jiang Danhong's birthday, and she invited her acquaintances to a state-owned hotel for dinner.
When Tong Xuelu heard that she invited everyone to a state-owned hotel, she knew what she was going to do.
Sure enough, halfway through the meal, Jiang Danhong blushed and said, "Let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Comrade Deng."
Manager Deng raised the cup in his hand and said to everyone, "My name is Deng Hong, you can just call me Ah Hong from now on. Thank you all for taking care of Danhong in the past. I am here to thank you all with tea instead of wine."
After that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Manager Deng's daughter Deng Xiaojia sat next to Jiang Danhong obediently and asked in a low voice, "Teacher Danhong, you are dating Dad, do I have to call you Mom from now on?"
Jiang Danhong's face was as red as a red apple: "No, you still call me Teacher from now on."
Fang Jingyuan leaned over and teased, "Xiaojia, I tell you, you can only call me Teacher after you get married. " "Mother, so if you want to call Sister Danhong your mother, you have to hurry up and urge them to get married."
Deng Xiaojia tilted her head, her big eyes flickering as she asked, "Teacher Danhong, when are you going to marry my father? I want to call you mother."
Jiang Danhong's face was so red that you could fry an egg on it, but her heart was sweeter than eating honey. She glared at Fang Jingyuan who was meddling in her affairs and said, "Just... You are so talkative. You want to get married so much. I will tell mom later and ask her to introduce more people to you. "
This time it was Fang Jingyuan's turn to blush: "No, no, Sister Danhong, please don't do this. I know I was wrong. I am
the one who is talkative." Jiang Danhong said: "I can keep silent, but you are not old anymore. Don't you really want to date?"
Fang Jingyuan pinched her nose and her eyes wandered: "It's not that I don't want to date, but I haven't met the right one."
Jiang Danhong was very enthusiastic: "What kind of person do you want to find? Tell me, and Xuelu and I will keep an eye out for you later."
Fang Jingyuan: "..."
Tong Xuelu laughed: "Sister Danhong, if you really dare to introduce her to someone, someone will come after you and kill you."
Fang Jingyuan's face turned even redder, and she looked at Tong Xuelu anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense, Xiaoyan and I have nothing in common."
Tong Xuelu shrugged: "I didn't say who it was, but you just confessed it."
Fang Jingyuan: "..."
Jiang Danhong was curious, but it was not convenient to ask questions with so many people around.
After finishing the meal, with Jiao Yanshi, the four of them moved to Jiang Danhong's home, eating snacks while talking about their hearts.
Jiao Yanshi agreed to Pu Jianyi's pursuit some time ago, and now the two are in a relationship.
Jiao Yanshi herself is very motivated. Although she went to primary school at an older age, she has skipped many grades in just over a year and is now a second-year junior high school student.
Tong Xuelu picked up a piece of red bean cake, took a bite and asked, "Sister Danhong, don't blame me for being nosy. Have you really thought about it? Being a stepmother is not an easy thing."
Hearing Tong Xuelu's words, Fang Jingyuan and Jiao Yunshi nodded in unison.
Jiang Danhong curled her lips slightly: "I wanted to tell you about Xiaojia before. Xiaojia is not Deng Hong's biological daughter. Deng Hong has never been married."
Tong Xulu and others were stunned: "What's going on?" "
When Deng Hong was a child, his parents were in poor health. It was his uncle's family who gave money and helped a lot. After his parents passed away, his uncle has been raising him."
"It's just that good people don't get good rewards. His cousin was a well driller. He was buried in the well in an accident. When his uncle and aunt learned the news, the two old people had a stroke on the spot and died soon after. Xiaojia's biological mother quickly remarried after the funeral and didn't want her daughter who was less than one year old at all."
"Deng Hong couldn't bear to see Deng Jia without a father or a mother, so he adopted the child and claimed her under his name. He also knew about my past, and he said he didn't care."
After saying this, a blush appeared on Jiang Danhong's face, and her eyes were full of tenderness.
Tong Xuelu saw her like this and knew that she and Deng Hong had a good relationship: "So that's the case. It seems that Manager Deng is a man you can rely on."
Fang Jingyuan and Jiao Yunshi also nodded in unison.
They all knew Jiang Danhong's past, which was really too hard and difficult. Now that she can meet a man as affectionate and righteous as Deng Hong, it can be said that she has finally gotten what she deserves.
Jiang Danhong smiled and nodded: "He is very good. I told him that I would not have children in the future, and he agreed."
After this, everyone had a better impression of Deng Hong.
Tong Xuelu said, "What man doesn't want a son these days? It's rare that Manager Deng agreed not to have children even though Deng Jia is not his biological daughter."
Jiao Yunshi nodded, "That's true. Sister Danhong is really happy for you to meet such a good man."
Jiang Danhong smiled with a red face, "You don't have to envy me. Comrade Wen and Comrade Pu are both reliable men who treat you like pearls."
Although Pu Jianyi was a little bit rude, he was really good to Jiao Yunshi. The two had met each other's parents, and both parents were very satisfied with them.
Tong Xuelu and Wen Rugui were even better.
When Wen Rugui and Tong Xuelu were not a couple at the beginning, in order to let her have a house to rent, he bought a house for more than 5,000 yuan with his own money.
Now, it is because of Tong Xuelu that she is going to Peking University as a visiting professor. Although a visiting professor only needs to give one or two lectures a month, it adds a lot of workload, and each trip takes seven or eight hours.
No one can do this unless they really like someone.
Fang Jingyuan looked at this and that, and suddenly realized something - she was the only one in the room without a partner.
Xiao Chengping's face suddenly appeared in her mind, and her heart beat twice quickly.
After returning from Jiang Danhong's house, she had made up her mind. She thought that maybe she could give Xiao Chengping a chance.
With this thought in mind, she returned to the General Logistics Department compound.
Fang Jingyuan is impatient. When she had this idea in her mind, she wanted to confirm the relationship immediately.
So she ran to Xiao's house to find Xiao Chengping, but was told that he was training on the drill ground.
She hurried to the drill ground and saw Xiao Chengping hitting the sandbag.
Xiao Chengping was shirtless, with the muscles on his body and arms exposed, looking strong and powerful.
If it were before, Fang Jingyuan would definitely think he was shameless, but now her mentality has changed, she actually thinks that Xiao Chengping is full of charm and gives people a great sense of security.
She bit her lip, blushing and walking towards him.
It's just that not everyone can enter the drill ground, but there was a low wall next to where he was hitting the sandbag.
Fang Jingyuan came to the low wall and was about to tiptoe to talk to him, but her right foot suddenly cramped.
She slipped and stepped on the mud beside her. Her feet were full of mud, which made her frown in disgust. What was even more uncomfortable was that her feet were cramping and hurting.
At this moment, Xiao Chengping found that she was hiding behind a low wall and spying on him furtively.
He immediately punched the sandbag harder, showing his most manly side.
He was so manly that Fang Jingyuan must be blushing and her heart beating fast.
He secretly looked over and saw that Fang Jingyuan's face was blushing, so he punched and kicked harder.
That's not all, he also kicked the mulberry tree next to him.
The mulberry tree was full of mulberries, and the fruits fell off the branches one after another after being kicked like this.
Fang Jingyuan's facial features were distorted by the cramps, but she didn't dare to shout out because it was too embarrassing.
But before she could recover from the cramps, mulberries started to rain down on her head. The fruits hit her head, and her face was immediately covered with juice.
"..."
Fang Jingyuan's face turned red with anger. She must have been sick to think that Xiao Chengping was a good target!
Xiao Chengping didn't know that he had missed an opportunity to become a regular employee, and continued to hit the mulberry tree hard.
A strong man will never have bad luck:)
Two years later.
