After seeing Wen Rugui off, Tong Xuelu went back to tidy up the room.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw that the quilt was folded into a neat tofu block, with the four corners flat and full, just like the quilts folded by soldiers in the video in her previous life.
Tong Xuelu was a little shocked.
Wen Rugui folded this quilt too well, didn't he?
The last time he caught Tong Zhenzhen, he moved very quickly, like a martial artist.
Could it be that he had received military training?
Thinking of this, she realized that she knew very little about Wen Rugui, and knew nothing about his family.
She turned her head and saw two bags on the table.
She walked over and opened them, only to see that they were filled with persimmon cakes and red dates respectively.
Tong Xuelu couldn't help but shake her head and laugh. This must be Wen Rugui's stay.
But what kind of habit is this? He
always gives things secretly. Is he afraid that she will refuse?
He really thinks too much. She will not refuse.
She took out a persimmon cake. There was a layer of frost on the outside of the persimmon cake. It was as big as a small palm.
When she took a bite, the persimmon cake was soft, glutinous and sweet. The sugar core filled the whole mouth. It was sweet but not greasy. After eating one, you want to eat a second one.
Tong Xuelu squinted her eyes in satisfaction. It tasted like her childhood.
Tong Mianmian ran in with her short legs and saw her sister eating persimmon cakes. She swallowed her saliva and said, "Sister, what are you eating?"
Tong Xuelu looked down and saw that the little girl was looking at her eagerly, with her rosy little mouth pursed and secretly swallowing her saliva.
Tong Xuelu wanted to tease her, "Sister is eating persimmon cakes."
The little girl stared at the persimmon cakes in her hand with her watery eyes without blinking, and almost drooled, "Is the persimmon cake delicious?"
Tong Xuelu nodded, "It's delicious, soft and sweet, so delicious!"
After saying so much, she didn't even say to give her one, and took another bite in front of her.
Tong Mianmian twisted her little fingers, blinked her big eyes and said eagerly, "Sister, can you let Mianmian smell it?"
"Puchi——"
Tong Xuelu finally couldn't help laughing.
What is so adorable?
His mouth was watering, but he could resist the urge to smell it.
She took out a persimmon cake from the paper bag and handed it to him: "No need to smell it, this is for you, but you can't eat too many persimmon cakes, just one is enough."
The little dumpling's clear black eyes shone with light, and he took the persimmon cake and said happily: "Thank you, sister."
As he said that, he took a bite of the persimmon cake, and his eyes became brighter.
It was just as soft and sweet as his sister said.
It's delicious!
Tong Mianmian licked her lips and smiled with satisfaction.
Tong Xuelu ate two in a row, thinking about what to bring back for Wen Rugui.
She suddenly remembered the chrysanthemums planted next door, which have bloomed very well recently. If she could get some and make dried chrysanthemums to make tea, it would be very good for her throat.
She poured out half of the persimmon cakes and dates and put them in a paper bag: "Sister is going to Grandma Shen's house, do you want to go with her?"
"Yes!" Tong Mianmian nodded like a garlic, "But Sister Zhuzhu won't have anything to eat."
Tong Xuelu smiled: "Yes, these are for Zhuzhu and the others."
Tong Mianmian was relieved when she heard that Sister Zhuzhu would also have something to eat.

After the Wei family received the persimmon cakes, they not only asked Tong Xuelu to pick chrysanthemums and took them back, but also moved two pots of chrysanthemums to the Tong family.
Tong Xuelu washed the chrysanthemums and dried them in a ventilated place to dry. After
drying, put them in the steamer to steam them, and then take the steamed chrysanthemums to the sun again.
It will take seven or eight days to dry this time, which means that she can't give these dried chrysanthemums to Wen Rugui for a while.
After finishing all these, she took Tong Mianmian to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
When they opened the door, they saw a woman standing at the door with a little girl.
The woman seemed to be startled when she saw the wooden door open, and took a step back with the little girl.
Tong Xulu glanced at the woman. The woman was about 27 or 28 years old, with dark skin. When her eyes fell on her daughter, she knew who this woman was.
The wife of Ma Mei's adulterer, the educated youth in the countryside.
But why did she come to see her?
"Hello, are you Comrade Tong?" Huo Xiangqiao smiled apologetically.
Tong Xuelu nodded, pretending not to know her and said, "Who are you?"
Huo Xiangqiao: "Hello, Duan Wenfu is my ex-husband, I came to thank you."
Tong Xuelu frowned: "Your husband's affairs have nothing to do with me."
Huo Xiangqiao: "Yes, Comrade Tong is right, this matter has nothing to do with Comrade Tong, everything is what that idiot deserves!"
She, Duan Wenfu, and Ma Mei were junior high school classmates. The country called on educated youth to go to the countryside, and the three of them were arranged to go to the same production team. She
got along very well with Ma Mei. She treated Ma Mei as a close friend and told her everything. She persuaded herself to be with Duan Wenfu.
Ma Mei was arranged to return to the city by her relatives less than a year after she went to the countryside. She and Duan Wenfu had no hope of returning to the city, so they got married and had children in the countryside. When the child was two years old, Ma Mei suddenly said that she could arrange for Duan Wenfu to work in the steel plant.
Just like that, Duan Wenfu took his daughter back to the city, and she was left alone in the countryside.
But at that time, she was very grateful to Ma Mei, and felt that she was taking care of herself, so she introduced the job to her husband.
Who knew that these two disgusting things would cheat on her behind her back!
No wonder she had begged Ma Mei to find a way to let her go back to the city, but Ma Mei always made excuses. It turned out that the other party had never thought about letting her come back from the beginning to the end!
If this incident had not broken out, I am afraid she would have been kept in the dark for the rest of her life!
After Tong Xulu knew that the other party and Ma Mei were close friends, her hatred for Ma Mei deepened. Beware
of thieves, beware of thieves, and beware of close friends. This saying is most appropriate for Ma Mei.
But the woman in front of him was a rare sober person. After knowing that her husband had cheated on her, she did not plead for him, nor did she cry as if the sky was falling.
Tong Xuelu glanced at the little girl and saw that her face was still a little pale. She paused and said, "Can't your daughter eat peanuts?"
Huo Xiangqiao was stunned: "How do you know? Daya really can't eat peanuts. Every time she eats peanuts, she will sweat all over, become listless and sleep all the time. The doctor said it was an allergy and asked us not to give it to her."
It's true!
Duan Wenfu, that scumbag, is worse than a beast!
Tong Xuelu told her what she found that day: "Your ex-husband would feed your daughter peanuts every time before they met in order to have a night of love with Ma Mei."
Huo Xiangqiao's face changed suddenly, and she squatted down and asked her daughter: "Da Ya, tell mom, does Dad often feed you peanuts?"
Da Ya blinked her lifeless eyes twice and nodded: "Yes, Dad would buy a lot of peanuts for Daya every time. If Daya didn't want to eat, he would scold Daya."
Huo Xiangqiao's eyes were bloodshot, and she bit her lips tightly, cursing Duan Wenfu, the beast, hundreds of times in her heart.
She thought he was disgusting enough when he was with Ma Mei, but she didn't expect that he didn't even have humanity!
Huo Xiangqiao looked very unhappy, and it took her a while to calm down: "Thank you, Comrade Tong, if you hadn't told me, I might never know about this!"
She had already decided to change Daya's last name when she returned.
Such a beast doesn't deserve to have offspring!
Tong Xuelu was about to say you're welcome, when she saw Huo Xiangqiao stuff a bag into her hand, and then ran away with her daughter in her arms.
Tong Xuelu was startled by her action, and when she opened the bag, she saw five pounds of pork and a can of maltose inside.
This thank-you gift was a bit heavy.
She wanted to chase after Huo Xiangqiao and give it back, but Huo Xiangqiao ran as if there was a ghost chasing her.
But in the blink of an eye, she disappeared without a trace.
Tong Xuelu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But forget it, since the other party was so thoughtful, she would accept it.
Thinking of having meat to eat tonight, the corners of her mouth curled up.

After Wen Rugui came out of the Public Security Bureau, he returned to his family compound.
Seeing his haggard face, Grandpa Wen didn't bother to tease his grandson: "If you are so tired, don't come back, just have a good rest at the base!"
Wen Rugui put down his travel bag and said in a hoarse voice: "Grandpa, I remember that the son of one of your comrades is the party secretary of the Education Bureau, right?"
Grandpa Wen heard that his voice was hoarse, and felt even more distressed: "Why are you asking this? And why does your voice become like this?"
Seeing this, the uncle next to him hurried to the kitchen to make a cup of Luohan fruit tea, and then went to cook mung bean soup.
Wen Rugui: "I suspect that Jiang Huarong, the director of the Education Bureau, has been corrupt, accepted bribes, and abused his power for personal gain."
Old Man Wen was even more puzzled: "Aren't you going to another province to pick someone up? Why are you suddenly in charge of the Education Bureau's affairs?"
Wen Rugui took a sip of Luo Han fruit tea and said: "I have a friend whose brother was fired because he offended the director's grandson."
Friend's brother?
Grandpa Wen frowned, sensing a change of heart: "Which friend is it? Do I know him?"
Wen Rugui pursed his lips: "I don't know him."
Grandpa Wen snorted: "How dare you lie to me! Your eyelashes tremble when you lie since you were a child. Is your friend a young grass?"
Wen Rugui: "..."
"I knew it!" Grandpa Wen became more and more certain of his expression, and suddenly he raised his eyebrows, "So you suddenly ran home not to see me, but to fight for the young grass?"
Wen Rugui: "..."
Grandpa Wen's beard trembled with anger: "You unfilial son!"
"..."
Wen Rugui suddenly felt that it seemed that he had made a mistake to come back this time.
However, if he wanted to bring Jiang Huarong down, he had to rely on the connections of his grandfather.
Otherwise, as a scientific researcher, he really couldn't do anything to the other party.
Old Master Wen suddenly laughed again: "But since you suddenly came to your senses, I won't bother with you. Tell me the story again."
Wen Rugui knew that this matter could not be kept secret, so he told the story again.
"Pa"!
After hearing this, Old Master Wen was so angry that his face turned red, and he slapped his palm on the table: "Officials who don't serve the people should go home and grow sweet potatoes! This Jiang Huarong is simply too abominable. Are the people in the Education Bureau blind? How can they tolerate such people to do whatever they want?"
Wen Rugui said: "His brother and sister-in-law are both martyrs and have made great contributions to the country."
So for this reason, everyone will not touch him easily.
Back then, Jiang Huarong also took advantage of the title of a martyr's family member to gain power during the land reform and became the director of a county's revolutionary committee.
In the past two years, he smelled something wrong and immediately used the power in his hands to get himself into the Education Bureau.
This is an old fox, and it is not easy to catch his tail.
When Grandpa Wen heard the word "martyr", his brows furrowed even tighter: "Such a person is simply an insult to the word "martyr's family member"!"
Wen Rugui continued: "There is another very strange thing. Martyr Jiang had biological children, but after the death of the couple, the son died of illness within two years, and the daughter is now an educated youth in the countryside. On the contrary, Jiang Huarong's children are all working in important departments of the unit, and none of them have gone to the countryside."
This is very intriguing.
A sharp light flashed in Grandpa Wen's eyes: "This matter really needs to be investigated thoroughly!"
If there is no problem, it's fine. If there is a problem, it will chill the hearts of the martyrs!
Grandpa Wen paused and said: "Leave this matter to me, I will let someone investigate it thoroughly, you go back to the base and have a good rest, don't overwork yourself!"
Wen Rugui nodded and said: "Okay."
After turning back and leaving the military compound, he did not go back to the base, but went to the Public Security Bureau again.
He asked Pu Jianyi to write a letter of introduction for him, and then took a bus to Dongfeng Commune to find Jiang Danhong that day.
Jiang Danhong is the orphan of the two martyrs.
Pu Jianyi was worried about him going alone, so he asked for leave from the bureau and went with Wen Rugui.
Tong Xulu didn't know that Wen Rugui had been running around for her, so she went back to the state-owned hotel to continue working the next day.
It was only when she returned to the state-owned hotel that she found out that something had happened.
Master Meng's hand was injured.
