Wen Rugui?
He's back?
Tong Xuelu opened the door and saw Wen Rugui standing at the door, covered in dust. He looked a little haggard and looked much thinner.
Wen Rugui looked at her, his eyelashes trembling.
The moon was like water, her eyes were sparkling, as if moistened by water, making her look even more beautiful and charming.
Tong Xuelu curled her lips: "Comrade Wen, when did you come back?"
"Today at noon."
Wen Rugui had difficulty speaking, and his voice seemed to sound a little hoarse than before.
So clingy? He came to her as soon as he came back.
He's really like a little puppy.
Tong Xuelu's smile deepened a little: "Come in quickly, Comrade Wen, you haven't eaten yet, right?"
Wen Rugui's ears felt hot, and he shook his head: "Not yet."
At that time, he called Pu Jianyi and heard what happened to the Tong family. He rushed over in a rush.
When he got off the car and was blown by the wind, he came to his senses and felt that he had come too impulsively.
But they had already arrived in the city, so he thought about it and came over.
Tong Xuelu closed the wooden door and smiled: "Then you are in for a treat, we are making dumplings."
He was very tired and didn't want to eat anything, but when he thought of the delicious food she made, Wen Rugui couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
The two walked side by side to the living room, the moonlight shone on them, and the shadows on the ground were long and short.
Wen Rugui cleared his throat and said, "I heard about your family's situation. I'm sorry I couldn't help."
So that's why he came.
Tong Xuelu looked up at him and said, "No, you've helped me a lot. Thank you, Comrade Wen!"
Pu Jianyi helped her investigate Ma Mei's husband because of him. If she had done it herself, the matter would definitely not have been resolved so quickly.
The breeze blew, lifting the strands of hair in front of her forehead. She stared at him with bright and warm eyes.
Wen Rugui felt her heartbeat speed up again, her eyelashes fluttered slightly and she said, "You're welcome. Are your two brothers back to school now?"
Tong Xuelu nodded, "The school issue has been resolved. They will go back to school tomorrow."
As for that naughty kid Jiang Ming and his grandfather, it's not that she doesn't want to teach them a lesson, but her ability is limited.
When you are not as capable as the other party, acting rashly will only hurt yourself.
Wen Rugui breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but then her heart skipped a beat.
He didn't know she had resolved the matter before he came over. Would she think he was too abrupt when he came over so abruptly?
Tong Xuelu didn't know what was going on in his mind at this moment, and she was thinking about making some sugar water for him to moisten his throat later.
Wei Zhiguo went to the countryside to visit his old comrade-in-arms and brought back a lot of mountain snow pears. There was also some yellow rock sugar at home, which was just right for making him a portion of snow pear stewed with rock sugar.
The two of them went into the house with their own thoughts.
Tong Jiaming and his siblings were no strangers to Wen Rugui, and they all called him brother.
Tong Mianmian was more familiar with Wen Rugui. As soon as she saw Wen Rugui, she climbed down from the chair and handed the candy in her pocket to him: "Brother, have some candy."
Before Wen Rugui could say anything, Tong Jiaxin called out: "Mianmian, why don't you give some candy to your third brother?"
Tong Mianmian's little face turned red, and she twisted her body and said: "Brother likes to eat candy."
Tong Jiaxin was very unconvinced: "Third brother also likes to eat candy!"
Tong Mianmian blinked her big eyes: "But third brother, you are not good-looking."
The implication was that you are ugly and you don't deserve to eat candy.
Tong Jiaxin: "..."
It hurts, sister! !
Wen Rugui's eyes flashed with a smile, and he rubbed her little head and said, "Brother doesn't want to eat, you eat it yourself."
Tong Xuelu went to the kitchen and poured him a glass of water: "You sit here for a while, I'll cook the dumplings, it will be ready soon."
Wen Rugui took the water and said thank you to her in a hoarse voice.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, remembering what she said last time that men who can cook are not ordinary men. He drank the water and said, "I'll go wash my hands and help."
Tong Xuelu didn't care, picked up a plate of dumplings and went to the kitchen.
The water in the pot was already boiling, and she threw the dumplings directly into the pot to cook.
Taking advantage of this gap, she took the opportunity to cook the pear stewed with rock sugar.
She took out two mountain snow pears, washed them, peeled them, cut them into pieces, removed the cores, added water and rock sugar, and put them in a small pot to stew.
When she finished cooking the dumplings and asked Tong Jiaming and his brother to go to the kitchen to bring them over, Wen Rugui had already made a lot of dumplings.
The dumplings he made were surprisingly good-looking, each one was full and not broken, and he could make them in several shapes, including ingot dumplings, clam dumplings, and crescent dumplings.
Tong Xuelu put the plate on the table and smiled, "Comrade Wen, your cooking skills are very good."
Wen Rugui's heart skipped a beat, and he said calmly, "My family will make dumplings during the Chinese New Year. You can learn it after making them a few times."
Tong Xuelu smiled and nodded, "You make them very well. Comrade Wen, go wash your hands and eat dumplings."
Wen Rugui wrapped the dumplings in his hand and put them down, saying, "Okay."
When he turned around and walked out of the living room, the corners of his lips rose unconsciously.
Tong Xuelu put away the uncooked dumplings and put them in the kitchen, and then everyone ate dumplings together.
Tong Mianmian picked up a dumpling with a spoon and put it to her sister's mouth, her big eyes twinkling: "Sister, eat it!"
"Mianmian is so good, sister has dumplings, you eat it yourself."
When making dumplings, she deliberately made a lot of small dumplings, suitable for little Tuanzi to eat, because she was afraid that she would burn herself with too big dumplings.
Tong Mianmian was not disappointed, she put the dumpling in her mouth and took a big bite, and her eyes narrowed because it was so delicious.
Tong Xuelu's heart trembled when she saw her cute appearance.
The little guy was really cute and considerate. He would always leave a portion for her when there was something delicious.
Wen Rugui tilted his head to watch the two sisters interacting, a hint of warmth flashed across his dark eyes.
Tong Jiaxin didn't care about the dumplings being hot, and screamed that they were delicious while being burned.
The dumpling skin rolled by Tong Xuelu was thin and good, and it was not hard to bite after it was cooked. However, the skin was so thin that none of them burst after it was cooked.
The three-fresh filling was a mixture of fat and lean pork, the aroma of mushrooms and carrots blended with the crispness of black fungus, and the rich soup rushed into the mouth when you took a bite, so fresh that you almost swallowed your tongue.
Wen Rugui was so tired that he had no appetite at first. But the smell of the delicious food, the round dumplings, and the vinegar sauce made him hungry.
He ate two bowls without realizing it.
After eating, Tong Jiaming went to the Wei family next door to deliver raw dumplings. Tong Mianmian went over with her on her short legs. Tong Jiaxin went to wash the dishes.
There were only the two of them left in the living room.
Under the light, Tong Xuelu's cheeks were as red as rouge, her lips were red and shiny, and the red mole at the end of her eyes was more and more similar to the color of her lips.
Wen Rugui glanced at her and quickly looked away: "It's getting late, I have to go."
Tong Xuelu: "Wait a minute, I just made you stewed pear with rock sugar, it should be ready now, I'll go and bring it over."
Wen Rugui stood up: "I'll go."
"No need."
Tong Xuelu moved quickly, turned around and walked out of the living room, and quickly brought the rock sugar pear over.
Wen Rugui's ears turned red: "I'm really sorry to bother you."
He felt more and more that he seemed to come here to eat, not to solve her problems.
Tong Xuelu put the bowl on the table: "Rock sugar pear has the effect of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs. Drink it while it's hot, and you have to eat less spicy food when you go back."
Wen Rugui responded and scooped up the sugar water and took a sip.
It was sweet, from the mouth to the heart.
After finishing the meal, Wen Rugui did not dare to delay any longer and stood up to say goodbye.
Tong Xulu stood up and looked at the night outside, and suddenly said: "Comrade Wen, why don't you rest here today?"
Wen Rugui's heart sank, and the travel bag in his hand almost fell to the ground.
He raised his eyes to look at her, and his mouth reacted in his brain and responded: "Okay." After
the word "Okay" fell, his body stiffened there.
Why did he agree so easily?
He shouldn't have stayed. If other people knew about it, it would be bad for her reputation.
But he agreed anyway.
What a hell!
"Jia Xin sleeps with his brother, and his room is empty. You will sleep in his room tonight."
She said as she led the way for him.
Wen Rugui followed half a beat late.
He was looking at her graceful figure from behind, with only one line of words floating back and forth in his mind: They are going to live under the same roof tonight!
Tong Xulu saw that he didn't catch up, so she turned back curiously, and then saw Wen Rugui with his hands and feet together, looking dazed.
She curled her lips and almost couldn't help laughing.
The reason why she asked him to rest here tonight was because she saw that the dark circles under his eyes were too serious and his face was very tired.
As soon as he came back, he rushed over to ask about her. It was so late, she couldn't bear to let him walk back to the military compound.
Of course she could lend him the bicycle, but there was no street light for a long distance from here to the military compound, and the road was not easy to walk. When he was so tired, it was better for him not to walk at night.
He didn't expect it to make him so nervous.
Tong Xuelu took him to Tong Jiaxin's room, where there were extra quilts and pillows, all washed and dried.
"There's hot water in the pot, you can take a shower now if you want."
"Okay."
**
Jiao Yunshi went out with a bag of Sterculia lychnophora, and soon returned with it intact.
Seeing this, Zhong Shulan couldn't help but wonder, "Didn't I ask you to deliver the Sterculia lychnophora to Comrade Wen? Why didn't you go?"
Jiao Yunshi said, "I went, but he wasn't in the dormitory."
Jiao Bojun came back from taking a shower outside and just happened to hear this. He couldn't help but frown, "Isn't Rugui in the dormitory?"
Jiao Yunshi nodded, "Comrade Zhou from the dormitory next to him said that he hasn't been home yet. He should have returned to the city."
Hearing this, Jiao Bojun frowned even more tightly, "He has been running back and forth for more than ten days, and his voice is hoarse from exhaustion. How could he be here?" Don't rest well."
Zhong Shulan also frowned: "Could it be that Mr. Wen asked him to go back?"
Jiao Bolu thought for a while and nodded: "That should be the case. Rugui is a very filial child."
Zhong Shulan agreed with this: "He is indeed a very good child. This trip is really thanks to him. Otherwise, Lingshi can't take care of me and her grandfather alone."
Jiao Bolu naturally knew that his student was very good. He looked cold and difficult to approach, but in fact, his heart was the warmest.
Zhong Shulan glanced at her daughter and said: "Lingshi, you should take a shower and rest quickly. You can send the things to Comrade Wen when he comes back."
Jiao Lingshi pursed her lips, nodded, and went back to the room to get clothes.
As soon as she went out with the clothes, Zhong Shulan and her husband sat down on the chair hand in hand.
After they confessed their feelings to each other, Zhong Shulan asked, "By the way, does your student Wen Rugui have a partner now?"
Jiao Bolu paused and shook his head, "No, why are you asking this?"
Zhong Shulan: "What do you think of him and our daughter Ling Shi?"
Jiao Bolu glanced at her and said nothing.
If it weren't for these ten years, if his freedom had not been restricted because of his status as a doctoral student studying abroad, and if his wife and father-in-law had not been sent to the cowshed because of their status as capitalists, he might have said that their two families were still a good match.
But now, one of them is in heaven and the other is on earth.
Grandpa Wen is a colonel in the Air Force and the former commander of the Air Force. He has won countless military exploits throughout his life, including first-class merit and special merit. Before retiring, he was awarded the title of "First-Class Combat Hero".
Wen Rugui's father, Wen Yuanwu, was a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force. He also won numerous military honors during his lifetime. The other children of the Wen family have now achieved success in the army.
If Wen Rugui had joined the army, his achievements would definitely have surpassed his father's.
They can't even dream of such a family.
Although he is Wen Rugui's teacher, he can't say that he is a good match for his daughter.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhong Shulan sighed and said, "I know that many people can't avoid our current status, and we can't compare with the Wen family. It's just that Wen Shi is already twenty years old. If we don't find a husband, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to find one in the future."
Zhong Shulan couldn't help but tear up.
The daughter followed them to the cowshed at a young age. Before she was twelve years old, she started to pick up feces. She was criticized and spat on. Now when she thinks of the past days, her heart is still broken.
Jiao Bolu saw his wife crying, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears with heartache: "Don't cry, it will be bad if Yanshi sees it later."
Zhong Shulan said with a choked voice: "Okay, I won't cry, I just feel bad, we are the ones who dragged Yanshi down."
Jiao Bolu felt bad too, and then sighed deeply.
Jiao Yanshi stood outside the door with red eyes.
She originally came back to get soap, but it was not convenient to go back now, so she turned around and left with red eyes.
**
Tong Jiaming and his siblings had no objection to Wen Rugui staying at home.
These days, relatives and friends often come to stay or stay overnight at home, so they reacted very calmly to this matter.
After taking a shower, the brothers and sisters went back to their rooms to sleep.
Wen Rugui thought he would not be able to sleep tonight, but his body was too tired. As soon as his head touched the pillow, he fell asleep quickly.
Tong Xulu did not accompany the brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin on their first day back to school.
She did not want to protect them too well because of her appearance, so that they would lose exercise and could not become big men like in the books.
Originally, she was going to go back to work at the state-owned hotel today, but because Wen Rugui had not woken up, she had to take another day off.
Wen Rugui slept until almost noon and woke up. He saw the bright light outside the window and his heart skipped a beat.
He picked up the watch beside the pillow and saw: 11:15.
His ears instantly turned red.
How could he sleep so long because of his carelessness?
Wen Rugui quickly got up, changed his clothes and came out. He saw Tong Xuelu playing shuttlecock in the yard.
Tong Xuelu was obviously an expert at shuttlecock. She kicked forward, backward, left, right, and turned around.
She was so agile that she was like a lark jumping and flying between the trees, making it impossible for people to take their eyes off her.
Tong Mianmian clapped her little paws on the side: "Sister is so awesome!"
Tong Xuelu stretched out her hand to pick up the shuttlecock, and at the same time, she put her feet on the ground and said to Tong Mianmian: "Come, you try it."
Tong Mianmian took the shuttlecock made of copper coins and chicken feathers, and pursed her lips seriously.
She stretched out her short little hand, and threw the shuttlecock into the air like her sister, kicking out a short leg at the same time.
With a "pop",
she fell to the ground, and the shuttlecock fell, landing right on her head.
Little Dumpling blinked her big black grape-like eyes, her eye sockets reddened: "Sister, Mianmian is so stupid."
Tong Xuelu saw her silly and cute look and almost couldn't help laughing: "Mianmian is not stupid, Mianmian is just too young. When Mianmian grows up a little, she will be able to kick very well."
Tong Mianmian tilted her head and said in a baby voice: "Can you be as good as sister?"
Tong Xuelu picked her up and kissed her on her fair and tender face: "Of course, our Mianmian is so beautiful, she will definitely be as smart as sister!"
Little Dumpling's heart was healed, and she nodded her head heavily: "Yeah, sister Zhuzhu also said that Mianmian is beautiful."
Then she frowned and said worriedly: "What about the third brother?"
The third brother is not good-looking and must be not smart.
Tong Xuelu understood what she meant in a second and laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.
Tong Jiaxin sneezed at school.
Tong Xuelu picked up the little girl and saw Wen Rugui standing at the door staring at them blankly.
"Comrade Wen, are you awake?"
Wen Rugui came back to his senses, his ears slightly red: "I'm sorry, I got up late."
After a night's rest, his voice sounded a little better than yesterday, but still hoarse.
"It's okay, I'll go make dumplings for you."
Tong Xuelu said as she put Tong Mianmian down and walked into the kitchen.
She moved quickly and cooked him a bowl of vegetable dumplings.
After eating, Wen Rugui once again asked to leave.
Tong Xuelu sent him to the door and casually said, "Comrade Wen, I like the 'Dacron' you gave me last time, thank you."
Wen Rugui: "You're welcome."
Tong Xuelu curled her red lips and looked at him with almond eyes: "I made the 'Dacron' into a dress, I will wear it for you, Comrade Wen next time?"
Wen Rugui looked at the smile on her lips, and his eyelashes trembled.
Tong Xuelu subconsciously looked at his ears, and the curve of her mouth became deeper.
Sure enough, his ears turned red again.
This man is so simple!
When Wen Rugui left, he left hand and foot again.
**
Wen Rugui did not go back to the base directly, nor did he go back to the military compound.
He went to the Public Security Bureau where Pu Jianyi was.
Pu Jianyi saw him coming and chuckled twice: "I knew you would come!"
This guy called him as soon as he came back. After hearing about Tong Xuelu's situation, he hung up the phone without saying a word. He thought he came back yesterday.
Wen Rugui pretended not to understand what he said and said indifferently: "By the way, you said on the phone yesterday that the teacher surnamed Ma dared to do that because she had a relative who was the director of the Education Bureau?"
Pu Jianyi raised his eyebrows: "Rugui, what do you mean? You are not trying to help Comrade Tong vent his anger, are you?"
Wen Rugui pursed her lips: "Just tell me their relationship." As
soon as he said this, Pu Jianyi knew what he meant.
Pu Jianyi actually didn't approve of him intervening in this matter.
But he also knew that with Wen Rugui's personality, once he decided to do something, no one could persuade him back.
So, he analyzed the relationship between Ma Mei and the Jiang family to him.
After listening, Wen Rugui picked up the travel bag again: "Thank you, I understand."
Pu Jianyi clicked his tongue: "Rugui, don't you think you pay too much attention to Comrade Tong?"
Wen Rugui's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he said nothing.
The door of the office was open, and people could come in at any time. Pu Jianyi didn't plan to continue talking about this topic.
He changed the subject and asked, "Did you bring back any special products from the northwest this time?"
Wen Rugui: "I brought two persimmon cakes and dog-head dates."
Pu Jianyi smiled with his teeth showing: "You have a conscience, so give them to me quickly."
Wen Rugui: "I forgot yours."
Pu Jianyi was shocked: "You gave one to your grandfather, bought one for Comrade Tong, and didn't buy my share at all?!"
Wen Rugui said "hmm", and walked out of the office quickly with his travel bag.
Pu Jianyi: "..."
So he helped so much, but he didn't even deserve to eat a persimmon cake?
So angry!
