Chapter 36 Thirty-Six Cups of Green Tea



Wen Rugui walked up and grabbed Xiao Chengping's wrist.

He said in a low and cold voice: "You are acting like a hooligan in public, aren't you afraid of being reported?"

Xiao Chengping frowned and tried to pull his hand back, but he couldn't pull it out after shaking it a few times. He was shocked.

He was a famous strongman in the military camp and had never lost in arm wrestling with his comrades. The man in front of him looked so white and thin, but he didn't expect him to be so strong!

He looked Wen Rugui up and down and explained: "Comrade, you misunderstood, I actually know her, and I am a soldier, not a hooligan!"

Wen Rugui turned his head and looked at Tong Xuelu.

Tong Xuelu nodded: "Brother, let him go. His father is an officer of the General Logistics Department."

Xiao Chengping nodded after hearing this: "Well, she and I both live in the General Logistics Department's family compound and grew up together."

Wen Rugui frowned slightly after hearing the latter sentence, and then let go of his hand.

Then he moved forward a step, just blocking the two of them.

Xiao Chengping didn't notice Wen Rugui's little move.

He lowered his head to look at his wrist and found that his wrist was red.

But he didn't get angry, instead he smiled at Wen Rugui and said: "Are you Tong Xuelu's brother? Hello, brother, my name is Xiao Chengping..."

Tong Xuelu stood behind Wen Rugui and rolled his eyes to the sky.

Brother, you are a shit brother!

But before she could open her mouth, she heard Wen Rugui's voice faintly saying: "Don't call me brother, you look older than me."

Xiao Chengping: "..."

"Puchi——"

Tong Xuelu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing.

She never knew that Wen Rugui had such an ugly side.

Xiao Chengping shook his head, smiled awkwardly and said: "I just look a little more mature than people of the same age, but I'm only 22 years old this year, comrade you are more..."

But before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Tong Xuelu.

She walked out from behind Wen Rugui and threw the sealed letter back into Xiao Chengping's arms.

“這錢你拿回去吧,我不需要,我生活過得很好,也不需要你的可憐,你要是愛心多得無處安放的話,可以去幫助孤苦無依的老人,他們會非常感激你的!”

上次遇到蕭承平,她以為不過是個意外,之後大家應該不會有任何的。

誰知他戲這麽多,居然跑過來塞錢給她,給錢之前還要說一番直男得讓人想揍他一頓的話。

其實用腳趾頭想,她也能猜到蕭承平的心思,小時候他喜歡原主,卻常常把對方欺負哭,長大後開竅後想追人家,所以各種獻殷勤。

挺有趣的青梅竹馬戲碼。

可問題是她并不是那個青梅,而且他這個竹馬也不夠帥啊!

For a person obsessed with looks, not being handsome is a sin, and she has no interest in playing with him.

Xiao Chengping caught the envelope thrown to him, and felt Wen Rugui looking at him gloomily. He shook his head and said, "Okay, if you don't want it, then don't want it. I'll leave first."

He thought Tong Xuelu had to support a family by herself. Now seeing that her cousin was wearing a Shanghai brand tourbillon watch, she thought her family should not be too bad.

Maybe Tong Xuelu's job at the state-owned hotel was arranged by her cousin, so it seems that she really doesn't need to borrow money from him.

He should investigate it clearly before coming.

Xiao Chengping touched his nose and walked away awkwardly.

When he walked to the entrance of the alley, a figure suddenly emerged from behind a telephone pole: "Cousin, did you lend the money to Crybaby?"

Xiao Chengping hit his head with an envelope and said, "Can you call me Crybaby?"

The cousin touched his head and grinned: "If not Crybaby, then what should I call you?"

"Comrade Tong."

"Okay, then cousin, did you lend the money to Comrade Tong?"

Xiao Chengping shook his head: "She didn't want it."

"Why? Didn't you say she was short of money?"

Xiao Chengping: "Didn't you see there was someone beside her?"

The cousin nodded: "I saw it. I was just hesitating whether to go out to help you. Who was that person? Could he be Comrade Tong's girlfriend?"

Xiao Chengping raised his foot and kicked him on the butt: "You don't need to look at him anymore. That's her cousin!"

The cousin patted the mark on his butt, looking aggrieved: "There's no word 'cousin' written on his face, how do I know he's her cousin? But fortunately he is her cousin, otherwise you would have no chance!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Cousin, you like Comrade Tong, right?"

Xiao Chengping's face turned pale with a frown: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who said I like that crying girl?"

The cousin looked very experienced: "Cousin, you can fool others but not me. If you didn't like her, why did you rush to find her when you heard that she was kicked out of Tong's house, and even took out all your savings? If my aunt knew about this, she would definitely punish you!"

Xiao Chengping Ping squinted at him and threatened: "You can't tell my mother about this, otherwise I will kick your ass!"

The cousin touched his chin and said: "If you can convince my mother to agree to let me join the army, I can consider not telling my aunt."

Xiao Chengping raised his foot and wanted to kick him again: "With your sickly body, you still want to join the army? Dream on! By the way, what did you mean by what you said just now? What do you mean it's a good thing he is her cousin, otherwise I would have no chance?" "

Hehe, that guy is much more handsome than you, cousin. When you stand next to him, you look like a chimpanzee, stupid and big. If he wasn't Comrade Tong's cousin, you would definitely not be able to compete with him!"

After saying that, the cousin was afraid of being kicked in the ass, so he ran away with a smile.

Xiao Chengping was so angry that he was fuming: "You little bastard, don't run away, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

He is so tall, mighty, handsome, talented, and yet he actually said he was a chimpanzee. He must be so impatient!

**

Tong Xuelu didn't know that Xiao Chengping actually mistook Wen Rugui for her cousin, and he was still obsessed with it.

She looked up at Wen Rugui and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you say last time on the phone that you would have time next month?"

Wen Rugui glanced at her face and said in a light voice, "Our director asked me to go out of the province to pick someone up and bring him back to Beijing. I have to leave tonight. I'm afraid that my return will delay your studies, so I brought the books to you."

Tong Xuelu: "So that's how it is. Thank you so much, Comrade Wen. Have I delayed your business?"

Wen Rugui heard her call him "Comrade Wen" again, and a flash of disappointment flashed across his eyes: "No, I bought a train ticket for three hours later."

"Then, Comrade Wen, have you eaten?"

Tong Xuelu stood under the street light, the orange light shining on her face, her eyes looked even more watery, and the tear mole under her eyes set off her snow-white skin, which was extremely charming.

Wen Rugui glanced at her and looked away, shaking her head: "Not yet, I'll go to the station to buy some food later."

Tong Xuelu: "Now the state-owned hotels are closed, where can you buy food? How about this, since you are not in a hurry to catch a bus, why don't you go to my house to eat, and I will cook for you?"

Wen Rugui thought of the food she cooked, swallowed her saliva and said: "Then I'll trouble you."

Tong Xuelu curled her red lips: "No trouble."

Her lips were red and her teeth were white, and under the light, her smile was so bright that it was dazzling.

Wen Rugui's heart choked, and he subconsciously asked the question in his mind: "Are you familiar with that person?"

Tong Xuelu raised his eyebrows: "Are you talking about the guy named Xiao Chengping just now?"

Wen Rugui nodded lightly: "Yes, he said that you grew up together since childhood."

"We grew up in the same compound, but not together. He always bullied me when he was a child, and he went to the army a few years ago. I haven't seen him for a long time." At

this point, Tong Xuelu tilted her head to look at him, blinked at him and said: "So I am not familiar with him, at least not as familiar as you and I."

"..."

Wen Rugui's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the tip of his ear instantly turned red.

Tong Xuelu glanced at his red ear tip, lowered her head, and raised the corners of her mouth.

Back home.

Tong Jiaming and his two siblings have finished their meal.

The dishes are gone, but there is still rice. They were supposed to save it for egg fried rice tomorrow morning, but now they are giving it to Wen Rugui.

Tong Xuelu asked Wen Rugui if he likes sour food. Knowing that he likes sour food, she quickly made him a vinegar-fried cabbage and fried an egg. The

sour and spicy cabbage goes especially well with rice. Tong Jiaxin, who was full, was instantly hungry and wanted to have two more bowls.

But before he could open his mouth, Tong Jiaming pulled him to do his homework.

Wen Rugui picked up a piece of cabbage with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. It was dry and crisp, sour and spicy.

He didn't have much appetite at first, but the taste stimulated him and he shoveled two mouthfuls of rice into his mouth.

Tong Xuelu: "By the way, how long will you take the train?"

Wen Rugui swallowed the food in his mouth before speaking: "Two days and two nights."

Tong Xuelu asked again: "What will you eat on the train?"

Wen Rugui: "There are some simple food on the train, I can buy it on the train when the time comes."

Even in modern times, the food on high-speed trains and airplanes may not be delicious, not to mention in the era of material scarcity, you can guess without guessing that there should only be food like steamed bread.

She thought for a while and said: "There is still time anyway, why don't I make some food for you to take on the train."

She owed him too many favors, she always wanted to do something for him.

Wen Rugui: "Don't bother, you must be very tired after a day's work."

"I'm not tired from work, it's settled."

Tong Xuelu went to the kitchen to find ingredients. There was a handful of leeks, three eggs, two white radishes, and only about one pound of flour at home.

"There's not enough flour. I'll go to the next door to borrow some and I'll be back soon."

She went back to the living room and said to him, then turned and left.

Wen Rugui looked at her slender back, and somewhere deep in his heart he felt soft.

He ate the remaining few mouthfuls of rice, took the plates and bowls to the kitchen to wash them.

After washing, he returned to the living room again and took out the "Dacron" and books he brought with him.

He hesitated for a long time before coming, wondering whether he should give her the "Dacron", after all, they were not in a relationship.

He was afraid that it would cause her disgust, but when he saw her running out in a hurry just now, he suddenly felt that there was nothing to hesitate about.

Tong Xulu knocked on the door of the Wei family.

It was Shen Wanrong who came out to open the door, and Wei Zhiguo came out with her, holding a flashlight in his hand.

Shen Wanrong: "Why are you here?"

Tong Xulu nodded to Wei Zhiguo, and said to Shen Wanrong: "Grandma Shen, do you have any flour at home? I'm out of flour, and I want to borrow some from you."

Shen Wanrong was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Wei Zhiguo: "You have to ask Zhuzhu's grandfather, I don't know if there is any left."

Wei Zhiguo: "Yes, how much do you need?"

"I need five pounds. If you don't have that much, three pounds will be fine."

Wei Zhiguo nodded: "Yes, I'll go in and get it for you."

After Wei Zhiguo left, Shen Wanrong asked: "It's so late, what do you want to do with so much flour?"

Tong Xulu: "A friend of mine has to take a train overnight. I want to make some leek dumplings and radish balls for him to take on the train."

Shen Wanrong couldn't help swallowing her saliva: "It's amazing that you are such a good cook at such a young age. Zhuzhu's grandfather has been cooking for a lifetime, but his cooking is not as delicious as yours."

Tong Xulu smiled and said, "If Grandma Shen likes it, I'll send some over after I make it."

Shen Wanrong waved her hand quickly: "No, no, we don't eat at night, and it's so dark, you shouldn't come out again."

Tong Xulu was also worried that it would be too late to cook, so she didn't insist.

After Wei Zhiguo brought out the flour, she thanked him and went home.

Just after turning around and taking two steps, she saw a tall figure walking towards her.

She looked over in the dim light and saw that it was Wen Rugui.

"Why did you come out?"

Wen Rugui walked towards her quickly, took the bowl of flour from her hand and said, "It's getting dark, I'll come to pick you up."

Tong Xuelu's heart moved slightly, and she tilted her head to look at him: "Comrade Wen, you are so nice!"

Wen Rugui's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and then it started beating rapidly.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

He suspected that if he continued to beat like this, Tong Xuelu beside him would hear his heartbeat.

Back home, Tong Xuelu rushed into the kitchen.

Wen Rugui followed him and asked, "What can I do for you?"

Tong Xuelu took a look and handed him the leeks and white radish: "Wash and chop the leeks for me, peel and cut the white radish into strips."

Then she asked, "You should be able to cook, right?"

Wen Rugui nodded: "Yes, but my cooking is not as good as yours."

Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged, there are only a few people in the world who can cook better than me."

If someone else said this, Wen Rugui would definitely think that the other person is too exaggerated, but she was the one saying it, so he thought it was natural.

Yes, there are only a few people in the world who can cook better than her.

Tong Xuelu poured the flour into another bowl, added hot water and kneaded it into a dough, then covered it with a cloth to let it rise.

Then she took out two eggs, beat them, added oil to a hot pan and fried them into egg cubes, then took out a handful of peanuts and put them into the pan to fry.

Wen Rugui's cutting movements were not fast, and could even be said to be a little unfamiliar, but fortunately he was not at a loss.

Tong Xulu took the opportunity to look at him while the peanuts were frying.

His fingers were slender and white, with distinct knuckles. He was one of those people with beautiful fingers. The black and heavy kitchen knife held in his hand suddenly became tall and majestic.

Noticing Tong Xulu's gaze, Wen Rugui tilted the knife in his hand, and the sharp blade passed through his fingers.

Tong Xulu was startled and ran over to grab her hand to check: "Where did you cut?"

She leaned over and a fragrance came to her nose.

Wen Rugui held his breath and felt his heartbeat start to lose rhythm again.

Her face was so small, not even as big as his palm. Her fair face was slightly tilted up, and her lips glowed with a moist and attractive light under the light.

Wen Rugui's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he felt an electric current flowing quickly from the hand she was holding to his whole body.

Tong Xuelu checked and saw that there was a small cut on his index finger, but fortunately there was no bleeding.

She scooped up clean water for him to rinse his hands: "Forget it, let me do it. Your hand is for the experiment."

Wen Rugui looked at the hand she let go of and apologized: "Sorry, I didn't do it well."

Tong Xuelu picked up the peanuts: "You have done a good job. Many men have never been to the kitchen in their lives, but Grandpa Wei next door is different from ordinary men. He cooks for his family."

A man who can cook = an extraordinary man.

Wen Rugui's eyelashes fluttered.

Got it.

Tong Xulu quickly cut two white radishes into thin strips, then added an appropriate amount of salt to filter out excess water.

Then she mashed the radish strips, added flour and a certain proportion of glutinous rice flour and mixed evenly. After mixing, she kneaded the radish strips into balls and put them into the oil pan to fry.

Soon, the radish balls were fried.

The golden radish balls put together looked like golden balls, which looked beautiful and appetizing.

The radish balls were ready and the dough was ready.

She added the leeks chopped by Wen Rugui to the egg crumbs, and mixed them with salt and oil.

Then cut the dough into small pieces, flatten and roll it into a round shape, then put the leek and egg filling in, fold it in half and press the edges tightly, and finally put it in the pan to fry until both sides are golden brown.

She made two plates of radish balls and fifteen leek boxes in total.

Tong Xuelu was making pickled cabbage before, and Tong Jiaxin could still bear it, but now he couldn't sit still when he smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen.

Because he was afraid of being scolded by Tong Jiaming, he jumped up from his seat, hugged Tong Mianmian and rushed to the kitchen.

Tong Mianmian, who was taking a nap:? ?

Tong Jiaxin: "Mianmian, when we go to the kitchen later, just tell them you're hungry, got it?"

Tong Mianmian's eyes were almost closed. When she heard what her third brother said, she said in a baby voice: "Mianmian is sleepy, Mianmian doesn't want to eat."

Tong Jiaxin suddenly had a toothache, but he still didn't want to leave Tong Mianmian, a tool man, behind.

Tong Xuelu was not surprised to see Tong Jiaxin.

She took out three leek boxes and gave them to them: "Take them and eat them. Eat the others tomorrow. You have to go to bed later, so don't eat too much."

Tong Jiaxin's eyes lit up, and he picked up a leek box and took a bite.

The aroma of the egg and the taste of the leek, the skin was crispy, and the inside was fragrant, so delicious that he almost swallowed his tongue.

He quickly finished one, and then thought about Tong Mianmian's leek box.

As soon as Tong Mianmian smelled the fragrance, she felt sleepy. Seeing that her third brother was looking at her like a wolf, she quickly hid behind Tong Xuelu holding the leek box.

Tong Xuelu couldn't help laughing when she saw it.

Wen Rugui tasted two radish balls. They were crispy on the outside and soft and fragrant on the inside, making people want to eat more.

Tong Xuelu packed the radish balls and three leek boxes for him separately, and then handed them to him and said, "Take these to eat on the bus."

Wen Rugui looked at her and said, "Thank you."

There were no buses outside, and he had to walk to the station, so he had to leave immediately.

Tong Xuelu sent him to the door.

Wen Rugui turned around and looked at her, pursed his lips and said, "I put the books in your room."

After saying that, he turned around and left quickly without waiting for her to answer.

Tong Xuelu thought his expression was a little strange, but she didn't think much about it.

When she returned to the room, she saw a piece of cloth next to the books - Dacron.

She picked up the "Dacron", stroked the smooth surface of the cloth, and couldn't help but smile.

**

Wen Rugui tightly held the bag of chive dumplings and radish balls.

The early autumn night was a little chilly, but his heart was warm.

An hour later, he boarded the train to the northwest.

He found his seat and sat down.

The train started soon.

Sitting next to him was a middle-aged man, and opposite him were two women.

Sitting diagonally opposite him was a young woman, and when he looked over, she smiled at him.

Wen Rugui had a blank expression on his face. He put the travel bag under his feet, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but when Wen Rugui woke up, the first thing he did was to look for the travel bag under his feet, but he found that the travel bag was gone!

He was shocked.

In addition to the introduction letter and some items in the travel bag, the most important thing was the chive dumplings and radish balls made for him by Tong Xulu!

He hadn't eaten a single one yet!

Just as he was about to ask the people around him if they had seen his travel bag, he saw Xiao Chengping walking towards him.

He held a bag in his hand and smiled at him, "Hey, your chive dumplings and radish balls are here with me."

Wen Rugui frowned, "Give it back to me!"

Xiao Chengping made a face at him, "I won't give it back to you, Tong Xuelu made it for me!"

Then he turned and ran away.

This was simply too much!

Wen Rugui stood up and flew over.

He pinned Xiao Chengping under him and beat him up.

Xiao Chengping was beaten black and blue, and cried for mercy: "I'll give it all back to you, please don't hit my face!"

Wen Rugui warned him coldly: "You are not allowed to get close to Comrade Tong in the future, and you are not allowed to call her name!"

Xiao Chengping nodded frantically: "I won't call, and I won't get close to Comrade Tong in the future, please let me go..."

Wen Rugui let him go and stood up with satisfaction.

Just as he was about to take out the leek box to eat, he was bumped by someone, and then he suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.

After waking up for a long time, he sat motionless in his seat.

His face was expressionless, but his ears were red.

He has never dreamed of beating someone.

How could such a wild person be him?
