After Tong Xuelu returned home, Tong Jiaming and the others had not returned yet.
Wei Zhiguo took Wei Zhuzhu to visit his old comrades in the countryside today. Before leaving, he asked Tong Jiaming and the others if they wanted to go with him.
Since the Wei family knew what happened in their family, they always found ways and excuses to send them food, and the Tong family saw it.
Wei Zhiguo was a reliable person, and the countryside they were going to was not far away. Tong Xuelu felt that it was not a good idea for Tong Jiaming and the others to stay at home all day, and it would be nice to go out and relax, so she let them make their own decision.
Tong Jiaxin and Tong Mianmian insisted on going out to play, and finally Tong Jiaming had to go with them to take care of them.
Tong Xuelu saw that it was still early, so she took the "Dacron" cloth that Wen Rugui had given her last time and went out to the Wei family.
Shen Wanrong was bored at home alone, and when she saw Tong Xuelu coming, she smiled brightly.
"Oh, finally someone comes to talk to me. Zhuzhu is not at home today, I'm really not used to it."
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "I was supposed to come a few days ago, but something happened at home, so I only have time to come now."
Shen Wanrong welcomed her into the house: "You can come anytime, I'm free anyway. By the way, what style do you want to make this cloth into? A dress, or a shirt and pants?"
Tong Xuelu thought for a while and said, "Make it a dress."
Although it is still very conservative now, it is okay to make a dress below the knee.
Besides, the ten-year activity will be truly over in October next month, and the situation will become increasingly clear and open, so it is not a problem for her to make it into a skirt.
Shen Wanrong smiled and nodded: "Young girls should wear something beautiful. When I was young, I especially liked to wear skirts. Now I am old."
Tong Xuelu: "Grandma Shen is still charming and not old at all. When I first saw Grandma Shen, I thought you were a 28-year-old girl!"
Shen Wanrong smiled so much that the tiny wrinkles at the corners of her eyes came out. She smiled and hit her: "You are a child who loves to talk nonsense. Any 28-year-old girl like me should cry!"
Although Tong Xuelu's words were a bit exaggerated, Shen Wanrong did look very young. She was almost 60 years old, but she looked less than 50 years old.
The Wei family had a room specially set aside as a clothing room for Shen Wanrong.
The garment room was spacious and bright, with a Peony brand sewing machine inside.
A sewing machine these days costs about 130 yuan, and most people can't afford it. The Wei family is indeed a family with plenty of money.
Shen Wanrong took out a ruler to measure her size. When she measured her waist, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Your waist is really thin, half an inch smaller than when I was young!"
What she didn't say was that her breasts were not small, and her figure was well-proportioned. If she wore a cheongsam with this waist-to-chest ratio, it would definitely look good!
It's a pity that no one dares to wear a cheongsam now, and they can't even lift it. What a pity.
After measuring the size, Shen Wanrong discussed the style with Tong Xuelu.
After everything was confirmed, she talked about the brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin being expelled from school.
"That female teacher has been arrested, so Jiaming and the others should be able to go back to school, right?"
Tong Xuelu nodded: "Yes, but we have to wait a little longer."
Shen Wanrong glanced at her: "If you need any help, just tell me, my old Wei has many friends in Beijing who can help."
In fact, she didn't quite understand what Tong Xuelu said, but she could see that Tong Xuelu was a very opinionated child, and she wouldn't ask if the other party didn't want to talk.
Tong Xuelu smiled and thanked again: "Thank you, Grandma Shen, if there is any need, I will definitely not be polite to you."
Although there are disgusting people like Ma Mei and Tan Xiaoyan in the world, there are also lovely and kind people like the Wei family.
After chatting for a while, the sunset gradually dyed the sky red.
Tong Xuelu stood up and was about to say goodbye, when suddenly there was a deafening cry from the yard.
The cry sounded like Wei Zhuzhu's voice.
Tong Xuelu and Shen Wanrong were both startled, especially Shen Wanrong, who threw away the things in her hands and rushed out.
When they arrived at the yard, they saw Wei Zhuzhu crying with her head tilted back from a distance. Grandpa Wei Zhiguo was coaxing her, but it was obviously not very effective.
When Tong Xuelu caught up and saw Wei Zhuzhu's hair, she took a breath of cool air and got goose bumps all over her body.
Wei Zhuzhu's hair was full of green caterpillars, so full that she almost suffocated!
The strange thing is that Shen Wanrong is such a soft person, but she is not afraid of caterpillars at this moment!
While helping her granddaughter catch caterpillars, she scolded Wei Zhiguo: "How do you raise a child? How did you let her get her earlobes in her hair?"
Wei Zhiguo said innocently: "I just blinked and wasn't looking at her, and she got her earlobes all over her head!"
Earlobes?
Tong Xuelu was stunned. Could it be that it wasn't a caterpillar?
She noticed that the "caterpillar" on Wei Zhuzhu's head didn't move.
She walked in and saw that it wasn't a caterpillar, but a kind of green plant seed with thorns, half the size of a little finger, and looked very similar to a caterpillar from a distance.
Shen Wanrong carefully helped her granddaughter pull off the earlobes, but no matter how careful she was, she couldn't avoid pulling her hair. When it hurt, Wei Zhuzhu burst into tears.
Tong Jiaxin grinned, "Grandma Shen, Zhuzhu said she wanted to make a flower crown for herself, and she put the earrings in her hair herself."
Tong Mianmian nodded her head heavily and said in a baby voice, "Sister Zhuzhu said it would be very beautiful!"
After that, she saw Tong Xuelu coming over, her eyes immediately lit up, and she ran over with her short legs.
"Sister!"
Tong Xuelu hugged the little bun that came over, checked her hair, and breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see the earrings.
Wei Zhuzhu was pulled to scream, howling like a ghost: "It's so hard to be beautiful..."
She just wanted to be prettier, why did you do this to her QAQ.
When everyone heard this and looked at her head full of earrings, they couldn't help laughing.
**
Fang Jingyuan returned to the General Logistics Department compound, but did not go home immediately, but went to Tong's house first.
Chen Yueling was shocked when she saw her: "Jingyuan, is that you? How did your hair become like this?"
Fang Jingyuan touched her hair conceitedly: "I just cut it, sister-in-law Yueling, do you think I look good like this?"
Chen Yueling looked at her hair and face for several times and nodded repeatedly: "It looks good, better than before, but I almost didn't recognize you!"
Fang Jingyuan heard this and the smile on her face became even brighter: "This was designed for me by Xuelu, and I think it looks good too!"
"Xuelu? Did you go to see Xuelu?"
Chen Yueling said with wide eyes.
Fang Jingyuan nodded: "Weren't her two younger brothers expelled from school? My mother asked me to go and ask her if she needs help."
Chen Yueling's face suddenly became hot when she heard this.
They were Tong Xuelu's closest relatives, but when she got into trouble this time, no one from the Tong family went to see her.
She and her husband wanted to go and say hello, but their mother-in-law wouldn't let them go.
Fang Jingyuan didn't notice her expression. She handed over two bags of snacks and money and said, "Xuelu bought the snacks and gave me the money. She said she borrowed it from you before. I've brought the things and I'm leaving now."
She was in a hurry to go back and show her beautiful hairstyle to her family.
"Jingyuan, wait a minute, this money is too much!"
Chen Yueling took the money and counted it, and found that there was an extra 20 yuan. At first, they only put together 80 yuan for Tong Xuelu to take away.
"I don't care, you can return it to her later."
Fang Jingyuan ran away without looking back.
Chen Yueling took the snacks and money, and felt more and more guilty.
When the Fang family saw Fang Jingyuan's hairstyle, they were all surprised, just like Chen Yueling, but they all agreed that this hairstyle suited her very well.
After Fang's mother knew that Tong Xuelu did not ask her for help, but brought snacks to the Fang family, she sighed and said, "I said before that Xuelu is a good child. If it hadn't happened, she might have been the daughter-in-law of our Fang family now!"
Fang Wenyuan, who was sitting on the sofa, heard this and pursed his lips.
Fang Jingyuan pouted: "She's just like that, but compared to before, she's a little better, at least her mouth isn't that annoying anymore."
"By the way, Xuelu asked me to help spread the word about her brother being bullied by that teacher, and I've already promised her, so you guys should help spread the word as well."
Since she helped her get such a nice hairstyle, she must spread the word!
Fang's mother said: "That child is also a pitiful person, it's only right to help spread the word for her, I'll tell everyone when I go to work tomorrow."
Although Fang's father is not a gossipy person, he also thinks that the teacher and the school were wrong in this matter, so it's only right to help.
Only Fang Wenyuan didn't express his opinion.
Fang Jingyuan didn't let him go: "Brother, remember to spread
the word when you go to work tomorrow!" Fang Wenyuan said "hmm", which was considered an agreement.
Fang Jingyuan was still worried, so she went over and whispered, "Brother, don't worry that Tong Xuelu will pester you like before. I just asked her, and she said she really treats you like shit!"
Fang Wenyuan: "…………"
**
The next day, Fang Jingyuan went to the art troupe and became the focus of everyone's attention again.
The people in the art troupe asked her how she thought of this hairstyle and where she got it cut.
Fang Jingyuan pushed Tong Xuelu out.
Everyone was shocked again: "Jingyuan, haven't you and Tong Xuelu always been at odds with each other? How come you are so good all of a sudden?"
Fang Jingyuan pouted and said, "Who is at odds with her? Tong Xuelu used to have a very annoying mouth, so I couldn't help but scold her, but she has become better now, not the same as before, otherwise she wouldn't have helped me design such a beautiful hairstyle!"
The original owner was also in the art troupe before, but she was too willful and arrogant, and didn't get along well with the people in the art troupe.
Everyone was shocked and curious when they heard what Fang Jingyuan said.
"Jingyuan, did she really design your hairstyle? If I let her design it for me, would she be unwilling?"
Fang Jingyuan: "I can plead for you, but she is in trouble now. If you can help her, it will be much easier to ask her to design your hairstyle later!"
Everyone hurriedly asked: "What help?"
Fang Jingyuan told them that Ma Mei deliberately made things difficult for Tong Xulu's two younger brothers and instigated the school to expel them.
Ma Mei has become a celebrity in Beijing recently. Even three-year-old children know her name, and of course people in the art troupe know it too.
After hearing Fang Jingyuan's words, they couldn't help but feel indignant.
"That woman is so shameless!"
"That's right, I'll help you, even if Tong Xuelu won't design my hairstyle!"
"Me too!"
Seeing everyone saying they wanted to help, Fang Jingyuan's admiration for Tong Xuelu reached its peak.
Tong Xuelu taught her those words just now. She said that as long as she said what she said, everyone would definitely be willing to help spread the word.
She didn't believe it at the time, but she didn't expect that she was right!
She felt that Tong Xuelu had really changed a lot, and was completely different from before.
After the other members of the Fang family went to work, they also helped to spread the word. After
Chen Yueling heard the news, she secretly told her husband, and the two of them also helped to spread the word.
As a result, the rumor that Chengnan Primary School was shielding Ma Mei and randomly expelling students spread. Word of mouth can
make gold melt!
The power of words is sometimes greater than that of real guns and bullets, and can kill people without leaving any trace.
The school leaders soon got wind of the news and were so angry that they almost had a myocardial infarction.
Ever since Ma Mei was arrested, the school wanted to erase all traces of Ma Mei and completely draw a line between themselves and her. They
didn't expect such a rumor to suddenly come out, saying that they were shielding Ma Mei. It was tantamount to asking for their lives!
If the rumor gets to the top, they will be removed from their posts, and it will be difficult for them to get promoted in the future!
The principal quickly convened an emergency meeting to discuss how to solve this problem.
After a heated discussion, they finally came up with a solution, which was to let the brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin return to school as soon as possible.
As long as they returned to school, the rumors would naturally be broken.
So the principal sent the dean of studies to the Tong family in person. When
the dean of studies received this task, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Thinking of Tong Jiaming's sister, he intuitively felt that this mission would not be so easy to complete.
Sure enough, he got a soft nail when he came to the Tong family for the first time.
When Tong Xuelu heard him say that the brothers Tong Jiaming should return to school, there was no joy on her face.
Instead, he said calmly: "Thank you so much for coming here in person, but I have decided to take my two younger brothers back to my hometown to study."
The head teacher's forehead was sweating again: "Comrade Tong, can the educational resources in your hometown be compared with those in Beijing? Smart people will not go back!"
Tong Xuelu curled her lips and sneered: "The educational resources in my hometown are indeed not as good as those in Beijing, but at least the school is fair and just. They will not beat students at will, let alone expel students at will!"
Head teacher: "..."
The head teacher came and left in embarrassment.
When he returned to school and reported the situation to the principal, he was immediately scolded.
"Don't you know how to use your brain? They are holding their breath now and will definitely not come back. Go and tell them that as long as they are willing to come back to school, the tuition and textbook fees for the two brothers will be waived and the school will pay for them!"
With the principal's words, the dean of education came to Tong's house again.
He thought Tong Xuelu would definitely agree, but she refused again.
He said all the good things, but she insisted on going back to her hometown.
He almost knelt down to her!
The dean of education remembered that in ancient times, Liu Bei had to visit Zhuge Liang three times to ask him for help. He felt that he might not be able to do it even if he visited Zhuge Liang three times.
The dean of education returned empty-handed again and was scolded by the principal again.
The principal saw that he was so useless and did not want him to go, and sent two female teachers to be lobbyists.
Tong Xulu's attitude became much better in front of the two female teachers, but she still refused to agree.
However, their trip was not completely without effect, at least Tong Xulu was a little relieved.
She tactfully suggested that it was too far for Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin to go to school, and it would be better if they had a bicycle.
The two female teachers reported this to the principal, who was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "Shameless!" He
actually took the opportunity to make such a big request, which was simply too shameless!
However, no matter how angry he was, he still had to arrange a bicycle for them, because the rumors outside were getting worse and worse.
Some people even said that he, the principal, might have had an affair with Ma Mei, otherwise why would he allow Ma Mei to do whatever she wanted?
When the principal heard those rumors, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
In order to quell the rumors, the principal had to raise funds to buy a new Phoenix brand bicycle and had someone send it to the Tong family as soon as possible.
After receiving the bicycle, Tong Xuelu refused a few times, and then accepted it.
She also promised to let Tong Jiaming and his brother go back to school to attend classes on Monday the day after tomorrow.
As soon as the two female teachers left, Tong Jiaxin ran over and walked around the bicycle with his eyes as bright as the stars in the night sky: "Sister, is this bicycle really ours?"
Sister?
This was the first time Tong Jiaxin called her sister.
Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows calmly, nodded and said: "Well, from now on, you and Jiaming will ride to school together."
Tong Jiaming, who was standing aside, glanced at Tong Jiaxin and said nothing.
Tong Jiaxin cheered and ran around in the yard like a little madman: "Great! We have a bicycle!"
Tong Mianmian didn't know what happened, but she was happy to see her sisters and brothers happy.
She kicked her short legs and followed Tong Jiaxin, opened her two chubby little arms, and shouted in a baby voice: "Great... We have a bicycle!"
Tong Xuelu: "Don't be too happy too soon, can you two ride a bicycle?"
Tong Jiaxin's cheering voice stopped abruptly: "I can't."
Tong Jiaming: "I can't either."
Tong Xuelu shrugged: "In that case, you won't be able to use this bicycle for a while."
But for the two brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin, not knowing how to ride is not a problem, if you don't know how to ride, just learn.
Bicycles are a luxury these days, and only a few people can afford them.
The Tong family suddenly got a bicycle, and Tong Jiaxin treated it as a treasure.
In order to protect the bicycle, Tong Jiaxin went to the Wei family next door to learn from them.
Wei Zhiguo was amazed to know that the school gave them a bicycle in order to let the two brothers go back to school.
But in front of the child, he said nothing.
He only told him that to prevent the paint of the bicycle from being worn out, the handlebars and crossbars of the bicycle should be tied up with plastic tape.
After pouring out his experience, he also found a lot of plastic tapes to give to the Tong family.
Tong Jiaxin received the plastic tape and was so happy that his mouth was grinning from ear to ear. After thanking him, he took the plastic tape home, and then he and Tong Jiaming tied the bicycle together.
When Tong Xuelu came out of the kitchen after making lunch, she almost went blind when she saw the colorful bicycles.
Isn't this too ugly?
But seeing the two brothers so happy, she didn't say anything to spoil the fun.
After lunch, the two brothers did not take a nap, but practiced riding bicycles in the alley.
The bicycles at that time were heavy and big. Tong Jiaxin was only nine years old and not very tall, so he couldn't drive it at all.
But Tong Jiaming could barely drive it.
Tong Jiaming is worthy of being a future business genius. He learns things very quickly. By sunset, he can already ride a bicycle crookedly.
**
After two days and two nights on the train, Wen Rugui and his party finally arrived in Beijing.
Zhong Shulan was eager to return home. She had hardly slept since she got on the train.
Thinking that she would see her husband soon, she did not feel tired at all. After making sure that her father was in good health, the group hurriedly took a car to the base.
Jiao Boyun received a call two days ago and knew that they would be back today, but he could not step out of the base without the organization's permission.
After waking up at three in the morning, he had been restless and excited.
It had been ten years. He had not seen his wife and daughter for ten years!
His daughter was only ten years old when she left him. I wonder what she looks like now?
Everyone in the base knew that Director Jiao's wife and daughter were coming back, so they quickly arranged a new place for them to live, bought them a lot of delicious food, and asked someone to drive to the station to pick them up.
At noon, Wen Rugui and his party finally arrived at the base amid everyone's anticipation.
Zhong Shulan was the first to rush out of the car without anyone's help.
Jiao Boyun was waiting at the gate of the base. When he saw a haggard and skinny woman getting out of the car, his eyes suddenly became wet.
That was his wife.
But he had never seen her like this before. Before being sent to the cowshed, she was more beautiful than a rose.
Her current appearance was like a knife stabbing deeply into his heart, breaking his heart.
He walked up quickly and held his wife's hand tightly: "Shulan, I finally see you!"
Zhong Shulan was equally heartbroken when she saw her husband's appearance.
Fifteen years ago, they returned from the other side of the Atlantic to support their country, but ten years ago, they were forced to separate.
Ten years of separation, when they met again, her husband had changed from a young man full of vigor and vitality to a little old man with gray hair.
Her tears flowed down.
The Jiao family burst into tears, and the people at the base wiped their tears when they saw this sad scene.
After everyone's emotions stabilized, Jiao Boyun remembered Wen Rugui, his student.
"Rugui, thank you so much this time!"
He was supposed to go to pick up the people himself, but he couldn't leave the base, and he couldn't rest assured to let others go. At this time, Wen Rugui volunteered to go to pick up the people for him.
He had already learned from his wife about the delays caused by their illness. If it weren't for Wen Rugui's care and help, they would not have come back so soon.
Wen Rugui: "Teacher, you are too kind. This is what I should do."
When he spoke, Jiao Bolu realized that his voice was hoarse and it was difficult for him to speak. It was caused by being too tired.
Jiao Bolu looked self-reproachful: "You should go back and have a rest as soon as possible. Don't rush back to the laboratory in the next two days. I will go to the dean in person to ask for leave." Wen Rugui
was really tired after running back and forth for more than ten days, so he nodded.
He turned and went back to the dormitory.
An Yuemei came out of the office and saw Wen Rugui. She hurriedly chased after him: "Comrade Wen, when you left, a comrade named Pu called you twice and asked you to call him as soon as you come back."
Wen Rugui paused when he heard this, turned around and went to the phone room to call Pu Jianyi.
After hanging up the phone, he did not return to the dormitory, but turned around and left the base.
In order to celebrate owning a bicycle and to celebrate the return of the two brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin to campus tomorrow, the Tong family made dumplings tonight.
The whole family gathered in the living room to make dumplings together, even the little dumpling Tong Mianmian participated.
Tong Xuelu's dumplings must be the best looking, there is no doubt about that.
Tong Jiaming did not know how to make dumplings at first, but he has a strong learning ability. After observing for a few times, he soon made dumplings that look like the real thing.
Tong Jiaxin's clumsy hands were completely beyond Tong Xuelu's expectations. She thought that as a fashion designer, he must have strong hands-on skills.
Who knew that the dumplings he made were all crooked and ugly!
"Third brother's dumplings are ugly!"
Tong Mianmian was small, but she couldn't stand it.
Tong Jiaxin took a handful of flour and smeared it on her face: "You still have the nerve to say that to me, your dumplings are uglier than mine!"
Tong Mianmian felt wronged and pouted her lips and said: "Third brother, your dumplings are ugly!"
Tong Jiaxin made a face at her: "Your dumplings are uglier, as ugly as you!"
The two siblings quarreled, and in the end Tong Mianmian got angry and pouted her lips and said: "Third brother, when I grow up, I won't take care of your shit and urine!"
"Puchi——"
Tong Xuelu couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
Tong Jiaxin often told Tong Mianmian that he was taking care of her now, and when he was old, Tong Mianmian would take care of him, feed him and take care of his shit and urine, and Tong Mianmian agreed.
But I didn't expect that the two of them would quarrel now, and the little dumpling didn't want to take care of the shit and piss.
Tong Xuelu laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes, and Tong Jiaming beside her also curled up the corners of her mouth .
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.
Several people in the Tong family were stunned.
Tong Xuelu wiped her hands and said, "I'll go out to open the door, you continue to make dumplings."
After that, she walked out with her long legs.
When she came to the wooden door, she asked through the wooden door: "Who is it?"
There was silence outside the door, and then a hoarse voice came.
"It's me, Wen Rugui."
