After Tan Xiaoyan knew that Tong Xuelu could not introduce her to a date, she returned to her previous arrogant look and looked down on others.
Tong Xuelu was too lazy to pay attention to her. As long as she did not do anything mean, everyone could live in peace.
In addition to doing her job well, she also helped Master Meng wash vegetables. In return, Master Meng always gave her a full spoonful of meat.
When it came to Tan Xiaoyan, Master Meng's hands began to tremble like a seizure, and in the end, there were only two or three pieces of meat left.
Tan Xiaoyan was furious every time, but the person she was facing was Master Meng. Not to mention that Liu Dongchang no longer helped her, even before, Liu Dongchang had no way to deal with Master Meng.
I guess Tan Xiaoyan herself didn't expect that she just wanted to show Tong Xuelu a warning that day, but she didn't expect to be defeated by Tong Xuelu and end up in the current situation.
Liu Dongchang ignored her, and other people in the state-owned hotel ignored her. She seemed to be isolated.
After lunch, the state-owned hotel was quiet again.
Tong Xuelu took out her junior high school textbooks and looked at them.
Although she had participated in the college entrance examination before she transmigrated into the book, the content of the exam was completely different from now. Besides, it has been several years, and she has returned all her knowledge to the teacher.
After the college entrance examination is resumed next year, it will be divided into arts and science, and the subjects to be tested are Chinese, mathematics and politics.
Among them, the arts will add history and geography, and the science will add physics and chemistry.
She plans to apply for the science.
Between liberal arts and science, she is better at science. She took the science exam in her last life.
She opened her junior high school math textbook and quickly flipped through it.
The questions were not difficult, especially compared to the later math. It can be said that it was very simple. The later math exams were full of twists and turns and traps that made people hard to guard against. It
was just that she hadn't studied for too long, and she had forgotten many formulas and problem-solving ideas. But fortunately, the basics were still there, and she could slowly recall them after a quick look.
As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. She took out a notebook and a pen and quickly copied some important formulas.
The notebook and pen were given to her by Wen Rugui, and they were sent together with the books.
She found it when she was sorting the books that day.
It seemed that she owed Wen Rugui more and more. She would have to think about what to give him later.
She shook her head and put her attention back on studying.
The lobby was quiet. Occasionally, the sound of cutting vegetables came from the kitchen. It was Guo Weiping practicing cutting radishes.
Tong Xulu was carefully checking the formula. A beam of sunlight came in through the glass window. The light shone warmly on her face and dyed her hair golden.
This was the scene that Fang Wenyuan and a group of colleagues saw when they came over.
The sunlight was slanting, and dust was flying in the air. She sat at the table with her chin supported by one hand, half of her body was bathed in the sun, and half was hidden in the shadow.
Quiet and beautiful.
Fang Wenyuan almost didn't recognize her.
In his memory, Tong Xuelu was always noisy, and she was even more aggressive and sharp-tongued in the hospital cafeteria that day, which made him lose face.
He had never seen her so quiet before.
But why was she here?
Didn't she go to Yanqing County to work as a textile worker?
His colleague A saw him in a daze, followed his gaze and looked in, and said, "Huh?" "Isn't that female comrade that someone?"
Colleague B also took a look and said, "I know, it's Fang Wenyuan's fiancée!"
Fang Wenyuan frowned and said, "Stop talking nonsense. She and I have never talked about anyone, let alone been engaged!"
Colleague A said, "That's not right. I remember she said she had been engaged to you since you were young!"
Fang Wenyuan: "That was just a joke from the elders. Besides, this is a new society, not the old one. Who would take child marriage seriously?"
Colleague B nodded and said, "You are right. Child marriage and blind marriage are both arranged marriages. They are the dregs of the old society. We should strongly resist and oppose them!"
"Don't say so much, let's go in and ask if there's anything delicious."
Colleague A said and walked in first.
Hearing the footsteps, Tong Xuelu raised her head and just happened to see Fang Wenyuan's face. The next moment she turned her head back, as if she didn't see him.
"..."
Fang Wenyuan felt inexplicably upset.
"Comrade Child Marriage, what else is there to eat now?" Colleague A laughed.
Tong Xulu stood up, rolled her eyes at them and said, "First of all, I am not comrade of child marriage. Comrade Fang Wenyuan and I have never been engaged. If you keep talking nonsense, I will go to the Public Security Bureau to report you for being a hooligan and insulting women!"
My colleague was just a talkative person. When he heard that she was going to report to the Public Security Bureau, he was immediately scared: "Comrade, I'm sorry, it's my fault for talking nonsense. I apologize to you, but you must not report me to the Public Security Bureau!"
These days, if you accuse someone of hooliganism, you will be punished. Even if he is not arrested, his reputation will be ruined. How can he survive in the unit in the future?
Tong Xuelu saw that Fang Wenyuan didn't say anything, and she was too lazy to argue with them: "Now we still have mung bean porridge and red date steamed cake, do you want them?"
"Yes, yes, yes, three
servings!" "Mung bean soup is 11 cents a bowl, red date steamed cake is 9 cents a piece, 20 cents per person, 60 cents for three people, in addition, 6 liang of grain coupons and 3 liang of sugar coupons."
Several people quickly took out the coupons and money and handed them over.
Tong Xuelu took the money and went to the kitchen to get the things, then returned to her seat and continued reading.
Fang Wenyuan's eyes fell on her vaguely, and he was especially shocked when he found that she was reading a textbook.
He just discovered that Tong Xuelu is very good at math. You know, she used to be very bad at math and failed every exam when she was in school.
She also didn't like studying. She would say she had a headache when she read. Now she can actually read patiently.
Why does it feel like she has changed a lot?
In fact, this is not the first time he has this feeling. She used to always chase after him, but since she left the Tong family, she seems to have never come to see him again.
Last time he went to find her, not only was he rejected, but she also ended up going to the police station. This time, she didn't even look at him.
He remembered what his sister Fang Jingyuan said, "She doesn't even bother to look at you, as if you're a piece of shit, big brother." His mouth twitched.
Colleague A bumped him with his elbow: "Didn't you say you don't care about her? Why are you still staring at her?"
Fang Wenyuan came back to his senses, coughed to cover up his embarrassment, and said, "How could I look at her? I was thinking about work."
Colleague A and Colleague B looked at each other, obviously not believing what he said.
But they didn't dare to say more, for fear that Tong Xuelu would hear it and she would say she would go to the police station to report it.
Tong Xuelu didn't like Fang Wenyuan, but she didn't hate him to death. He was just like a passerby on the street.
As long as he didn't bother her, she could ignore him.
Fang Wenyuan and a few others ate and then left. Tong Xulu did not look up at him until he left.
For some reason, Fang Wenyuan felt a little irritated.
**
Wen Rugui bought a train ticket again, and this time he bought a sleeper.
In fact, he should have bought a sleeper from the beginning, after all, he would be on the train for two days and two nights. However, because he had to deliver the books to Comrade Tong, he wasted a lot of time on the way back and forth, and finally he could only buy a train with hard seats.
I wonder if she saw his "Dacron"? She
should have seen it, but I don't know how she reacted.
A few days ago, he heard a female colleague at the base say in the cafeteria that nowadays female comrades like skirts made of "Dacron".
He never paid attention to women's dress, but after hearing that, he paid a little attention and found that many female colleagues in the base were wearing "Dacron" skirts.
When the wind blew, the hems of the skirts fluttered, and the white skirts fluttered, which was indeed a beautiful landscape.
He imagined what she would look like in the "Dacron" skirt, and the tips of his ears slowly turned red.
It was still daytime, he couldn't sleep, and there was nothing to do on the way in the car.
So he took out a notebook and a pen from his travel bag and started sketching on the notebook.
If Tong Xulu was here, she would find that the notebook and pen in his hand were exactly the same as hers.
Wen Rugui was always very focused and attentive when doing things, and all the noise around him was isolated from his own world.
Soon, a slender figure appeared on the notebook.
Shoulder-length hair, a shirt and long skirt, misty eyes, and a small black spot.
Suddenly, a head popped out from the berth, stared at his notebook and shouted: "Comrade, your painting is really beautiful, is it your girlfriend?"
Wen Rugui frowned and covered the notebook: "No."
"If it's not your girlfriend, then you are painting your wife?"
Wen Rugui's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he didn't answer him again.
It's not that he didn't want to answer, but if he denied it again, people would think he was being a hooligan, painting women in a vulgar way, and not his own wife or girlfriend.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the person on the berth thought he guessed right, and grinned and said: "Comrade, your wife is really beautiful."
Wen Rugui's eyelashes trembled again.
Wife.
He never knew that this word was so beautiful.
It makes people's blood boil and their heart beat faster.
Tong Jiaxin, who was at school at the time, also had blood boil and his face was red and his heart was beating fast.
But he was not happy, but angry!
He stared at the people in front of him and roared, "Give me back my textbook!"
A boy with a sharp mouth held a book in his hand and smiled at him, "Come and get it if you can?"
Tong Jiaxin rushed over, and the other person threw the book to another person. Tong Jiaxin chased him again, and they threw it again.
It was like playing with a monkey, making him run around in circles.
Tong Jiaxin's eyes were red and he clenched his fists: "If you don't give it back to me, I'll tell the teacher!"
The sharp-mouthed boy heard that he was going to complain and laughed,
"Haha, go ahead and see if the teacher will help you or me. Don't you know how much the teacher hates you? Do you know why? Because of your sister!"
"Your sister is a black-hearted scumbag. My cousin said that people like your sister who destroy other people's marriages should go to hell!"
Tong Jiaxin rushed over: "You are reporting nonsense, I will beat you to death!"
The sharp-mouthed boy saw him rushing over, and his body dodged. Tong Jiaxin bumped into the wall behind him, and stars appeared in his eyes.
Several boys laughed at once.
"Hahaha, what a useless piece of trash!"
"Haha, trash, trash!"
Tong Jiaxin glared at them with gritted teeth, his chest seemed to be about to explode.
At this time, the bell rang, and several boys threw their books on the ground, made faces at him, laughed and ran away.
Tong Jiaxin got up from the ground, picked up the book, patted the dust on it, and went back to the classroom with gritted teeth.
**
After Fang Wenyuan left, Tong Xuelu put away the dishes and took them to the kitchen to wash.
Guo Weiping smiled shyly and said, "Sister Xuelu, were you reading just now?"
Tong Xuelu nodded, "Yes, I was reading, junior high school books."
Guo Weiping frowned, "Haven't you graduated? Why do you still need to study?"
Tong Xuelu: "Learning is endless. Learning is not limited to school classrooms. As long as you want to learn, you can learn anywhere."
Guo Weiping thought about it and seemed unable to understand her idea: "I can't do it. I get a headache when I see a book. I still like cooking!"
Tong Xuelu thought of the dream that Tong Jiaming and his three siblings talked about, and couldn't help laughing.
In the 1960s and 1970s, being a master chef in a state-owned hotel was indeed a very remarkable and prestigious thing. Unfortunately, this prosperity will no longer exist in two years.
But she didn't say anything. Everyone has their own aspirations.
Suddenly, Guo Weiping uttered an "ouch", stood up, covered his stomach and said with a red face: "Sister Xuelu, I'll leave the hotel to you, I... I'll go..."
Tong Xuelu curled her lips: "Go ahead."
Guo Weiping's face turned even redder when she smiled at him, and he ran out of the back door of the kitchen, covering his stomach.
There was no toilet in the state-owned hotel, so he had to go to the public toilet outside.
After washing the dishes, Tong Xuelu prepared to read a book for a while.
But just as she walked out, a tall woman walked in.
The woman was wearing "Dacron", with a big nose and small eyes, and neat short hair.
The image of Xiao Chengping suddenly appeared in her mind. The mother and son were almost cut from the same mold.
This woman is Xiao Chengping's mother. She is notoriously strict in the General Logistics Department compound. Many children in the compound are afraid of her.
She showed up here alone during working hours.
Four words came to Tong Xuelu's mind: the visitor is not friendly.
But she didn't panic, nor did she take the initiative to say hello.
When Xiao's mother saw that she didn't even say hello when she saw her, her brows immediately wrinkled: "I used to think you were unruly and rude, but at least you were polite at that time. Now you don't even say hello when you see people. You are really getting more and more unbecoming!"
Tong Xulu rolled her eyes in her heart but pretended to be shocked: "Ah, you are Aunt Ning? I almost didn't recognize you just now. Aunt Ning, I heard that women who get angry easily age quickly. I guess you are too angry. That's why I didn't recognize you when I saw you just now!"
"..."
When Xiao's mother heard what she said, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood: "You are so uneducated, you..."
Tong Xulu: "Aunt Ning, you are still angry. Touch the wrinkles at the corners of your eyes. There must be a few more!"
"..."
Xiao's mother knew that she was deliberately making her angry.
But which woman doesn't care about her appearance? She was full of anger, and in order to avoid wrinkles, she could only suppress her anger.
Xiao's mother sat down on a seat in the corner, looking at her sharply: "Come and sit down!"
Tsk tsk, look at her arrogant look, if people who don't know her, they would think she is the Empress Dowager Cixi.
Tong Xuelu walked over slowly and sat down in front of her.
Xiao's mother got angry when she saw her like this: "You don't know how to sit or stand. Who would be willing to marry someone as unruly as you are!"
Tong Xuelu smiled maliciously at this: "Then don't bother you. I'm so beautiful. If I want to get married, it's a matter of minutes!"
Xiao's mother was so angry that her chest heaved up and down: "You are young and beautiful now, but when you are old, do you still think you can hold Chengping's heart for a lifetime?"
?
What the hell?
Tong Xuelu was stunned for a moment before she reacted. Could she have thought that she was dating Xiao Chengping?
Xiao's mother thought that she had hit the nail on the head and snorted, "I already know that Chengping gave you money. You are with Chengping, aren't you just coveting our Xiao family's wealth? I've seen too many superficial women like you!"
"The most important thing in marriage is to be well-matched. You and Chengping are not well-matched. Chengping's father and I will not support you being together!"
Tong Xuelu was disgusted by Xiao's mother's condescending look.
But do you think she will be angry?
No, she won't.
This famous scene in novels and idol dramas of "spending money to leave my son" is rare, and she must make good use of it.
Having been a green tea for so many years in her life, the only regret was that she had never been harassed by someone with money. She never thought that she would meet such a person now!
Thinking about it, she was a little excited.
Come on, I'm ready.
Please throw money at my face!
Seeing her blushing, Xiao's mother looked more and more proud: "As long as you are willing to leave Chengping, I can introduce you to someone in the future. It may not be as good as my Chengping, but it will be better than the one you find yourself!"
That's it? Just like that?
You want her to leave her son without spending money? No way!
Tong Xuelu took a deep breath and started her performance.
"Auntie Ning, have you ever heard of a poem? Even if the mountains are gone and the sky and the earth unite, I
will never break up with you. That's how I feel right now." After saying this classic line, she almost made herself sick.
As expected of her.
Shameless!
Mother Xiao cursed in her heart: "As long as Chengping's father and I don't agree, you will never be able to enter our Xiao family!"
Tong Xuelu covered her chest with her hands, her eyes watery: "If it's true love, everything can be abandoned. Besides, Chengping said that if you don't agree, he will run away from home and sever ties with you as parents!"
Mother Xiao gritted her teeth and stared at Tong Xuelu: "Impossible, Chengping can't say such a thing!"
"Isn't Aunt Ning aware of whether Chengping will say such a thing?"
Mother Xiao knew it too well, so her face was so ugly, and she came here to find Tong Xuelu.
Xiao Chengping has been a reckless person since he was a child. Once he decides on something, ten cows can't pull him back.
Xiao's mother took several deep breaths to recover: "Tell me, what do you want in exchange for leaving Chengping?"
Here it comes! Here
comes the classic line!
Tong Xuelu controlled the arc of her mouth, frowned and shook her head: "Aunt Ning, I can't do it!"
Xiao's mother stared at her, her eyes almost spitting fire.
After a while, she lowered her head and took out an envelope from her bag, threw it in front of her and said: "There is one thousand yuan in it. As long as you agree to leave Chengping, this money belongs to you!"
One thousand yuan!
Tong Xuelu was almost tempted.
Before she entered the book, if someone threw money at her, she would immediately kick the dog man away.
But not now. If she dared to accept the money, Xiao's mother might report her to the public security bureau.
She can't leave any handle for others.
She pushed the envelope back and said hurtly, "Aunt Ning, you are insulting me. Am I such a money-grubbing person?" Yes, I am.
Xiao's mother pursed her lips: "So what do you want? If you want to enter the Xiao family, I tell you, forget it!"
Tong Xuelu looked hurt: "Aunt Ning, no matter what I do, you won't accept me?"
Xiao's mother nodded: "Yes, just give up!"
Tong Xuelu covered her face and cried for a long time, then she said with red eyes: "In this case, I understand, you can ask me to leave, but you have to promise to help me do something."
Xiao's mother sneered, with an expression of "as expected, there is a purpose": "Tell me, what do you want me to do for you? Buy a house or change jobs?"
Tong Xuelu shook her head: "Neither, I want a complete high school math, physics and chemistry booklet, and I want Aunt Ning to help me make a thousand copies."
? ?
Xiao's mother looked at her as if she had seen a ghost: "What do you want this for? And you want so many copies?"
Tong Xulu: "Nowadays, there is a material shortage. People in many places can't get enough to eat, let alone go to school and receive education. Every time I see those people who are eager for knowledge can't go to school to receive education, my heart feels like needles!"
"So I want to copy some materials to help them for free. Aunt Ning, a kind person like you will not refuse, right?"
Xiao's mother: "..."
It's not difficult to get a complete set of math, physics and chemistry booklets. Her eldest brother works in the Education Bureau. But to copy a thousand copies is a huge workload.
Tong Xuelu said, "If Aunt Ning doesn't agree, then just pretend I didn't say that."
Xiao's mother stared at her, and after a long while she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll get it for you, but you have to keep your word. If you dare to pester me again..."
Tong Xuelu interrupted her, "As long as you give me the things, I will keep my word, but the best way is to send Chengping back to the army as soon as possible."
Xiao's mother knew that she had to send him back to the army, but if the two of them kept getting sick, it would be useless to send him back.
Tong Xuelu said, "By the way, there is a fruit tree missing from where I live now. It would be even better if Aunt Ning could get it for me."
The lion opened his mouth and waited for this moment.
Xiao's mother gritted her teeth and said, "Okay!"
In the end, Xiao's mother left the state-owned hotel with a gloomy face.
Seeing her leave, Tong Xulu's mouth curled up. Killing
three birds with one stone.
She remembered that when the college entrance examination was just resumed, many people couldn't borrow textbooks, let alone test materials.
She planned to keep these materials and sell them at a reasonable price next year.
On the one hand, she can make money, and on the other hand, she can help candidates for the college entrance examination next year.
It is difficult for ordinary people to buy a complete set of mathematics, physics and chemistry books. Even if she goes to the bookstore now, she may not be able to find it.
But Xiao's mother has this channel.
The third thing is to get rid of Xiao Chengping, this rotten peach blossom.
Xiao Chengping is not a bad person, but with such a mother around, she doesn't even want to be friends with him.
As for asking Xiao's mother to pay for nothing, would she feel guilty?
The answer is of course no.
If she didn't take these things, Xiao's mother would definitely think that she was reluctant to leave Xiao Chengping, and might come to harass her from time to time in the future.
That would cause more trouble.
Besides, Xiao's mother would scold her indiscriminately as soon as she came, and it would be too unfair to herself not to let her bleed.
Thinking that she was about to make her first pot of gold, Tong Xulu was in a very happy mood.
When she returned home, she found that Tong Jiaxin was injured.
