Chapter 53 Fifty-three Cups of Green Tea



The Mid-Autumn Festival passed in the blink of an eye.

Tong's mother dreamed that Tong Zhenzhen was suffering in the farm, and she felt very uncomfortable when she woke up the next day. She

kept thinking about last night's dream when she was at work, so she found a time to call the farm.

Although Tong Zhenzhen told Tong's mother last time that she voluntarily stayed in the farm, it was not the truth.

Who would want to stay in a broken place like a farm?

Not only was she exhausted every day, she also didn't eat enough and didn't sleep well, and what was even more tormenting was that she had to be scolded from time to time!

She originally thought that after she said that, even if her parents didn't take her back, they would at least find a way to improve her situation.

Nothing came of her thinking!

She was really angry!

So when she received the call, her tone was not good at all: "Why are you calling at this time? I still have to do farm work!"

When Tong's mother heard that she was going to do farm work, she felt even more uncomfortable: "Zhenzhen, how are you recently? Are you in good health? Do you have enough food?"

Originally, she wanted to ask someone to bring some things to the farm before Mid-Autumn Festival, but the Women's Federation organized an event before Mid-Autumn Festival, and she was so busy that she didn't remember it until the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it was too late.

Tong Zhenzhen rolled her eyes: "How can a place like a farm be good? The food is gone!"

Tong's mother said quickly: "I'll send you some food later. What do you want to eat?"

Tong Zhenzhen finally felt better after hearing this: "Mom, I don't have any money. Can you ask someone to bring some money over?"

Tong's mother quickly agreed, and then lowered her voice to tell her a good news, saying that the situation is getting more and more stable, and maybe they can get her out early.

Tong Zhenzhen was not surprised at all by this. She knew better than anyone that the situation would definitely become more and more stable.

But damn, she still has to stay in the farm for another nine months. She really can't stand it!

Tong's mother didn't know what she was thinking, and kept nagging.

Tong Zhenzhen didn't want to listen to her nagging, so she interrupted her abruptly and said, "Have you visited my brothers and sisters over there?"

Tong's mother tightened her grip on the phone, and said a little late, "Yes, they have forgiven you!"

Tong Zhenzhen finally smiled when she heard the news, "Mom, if you have time later, please go visit them on my behalf. My foster parents are gone, and they are a bunch of pitiful children."

Tong's mother agreed repeatedly, turned around and hung up the phone, and couldn't help curling her lips.

She didn't go to see those children!

The main reason was that she didn't want to see Tong Xuelu. She had raised an ungrateful person these years. It would be fine

if she didn't come to Tong's house on weekdays, but she didn't come yesterday during the Mid-Autumn Festival. What a heartless person!

**

Tong Xuelu sneezed in the kitchen, thinking, could it be that Wen Rugui was thinking about her?

This era is inconvenient, there are no phones or mobile phones, and the distance between the two is not so far that they have to write letters to contact each other.

So she could only think like this.

Guo Weiping just walked in, and Tong Xuelu said to him: "Xiao Guo, you will learn to cook from me from today."

Guo Weiping's eyes were wide open because of shock. When he came to his senses, he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, I can't do it. I haven't even learned how to cut vegetables yet!"

Tong Xuelu rolled her eyes: "You can learn to cut vegetables slowly. I will teach you some simple stir-fry dishes. It's very easy!"

The kind of skill that Master Meng teaches is a ten-year effort, which is too slow.

Now she is the only master chef in the hotel, and it is not convenient to ask for leave.

If she doesn't train Guo Weiping, how can she fall in love later?

Some people are eager to learn from their master and learn all the skills as soon as possible, but Guo Weiping didn't want to learn even when he gave him the opportunity.

Tong Xuelu spent a lot of time to convince him.

It was very confusing.

Although Guo Weiping was not very talented, he was very hardworking in learning, and once he decided to learn, he would give 100% effort.

Tong Xuelu was very optimistic about him.

What's more rare is that he has a simple mind and is a very pure person.

At noon, a group of uninvited guests came to the hotel.

And these uninvited guests happened to be known by Tong Xuelu.

As soon as they came in, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Young, beautiful, tall, all dressed in military green, they rode five or six bicycles.

The effect was like a group of rich and beautiful women driving several Maseratis in modern times, attracting people's attention.

Fang Jingyuan was walking in the front, and when she saw Tan Xiaoyan, she waved at her and said, "Waiter, is there someone named Tong Xuelu here?"

Tan Xiaoyan looked at Fang Jingyuan with swollen eyes, her eyes full of envy and jealousy: "What do you want to do with Tong Xuelu? What is your relationship?"

Fang Jingyuan glanced at her and said, "She and I are friends. Where is she? It's time for dinner, why haven't I seen her yet?"

If it were someone else, Tan Xiaoyan would definitely curse, but in front of a group of "rich and beautiful women", she unconsciously lost her momentum.

Pointing to the kitchen, she said, "She is not a waitress now. She is temporarily cooking in the kitchen for the master chef."

Master chef? ! !

As soon as this was said, Fang Jingyuan was shocked on the spot: "Is the Tong Xuelu you are talking about the same person as me?"

Tong Xuelu can cook?

How is this possible!

From childhood to adulthood, she couldn't even help a soy sauce bottle that fell over in the Tong family, let alone cook!

Tan Xiaoyan said impatiently: "If you don't believe me, go in and see for yourself. And if you want to eat, sit down and don't stand at the door blocking others!"

Tong Xuelu, who came out of the kitchen, heard this and thought Tan Xiaoyan was too awesome. She

dared to spray anyone!

Fang Jingyuan frowned and was about to fight back, and then she saw Tong Xuelu coming out.

Her eyes widened, and she pointed at Tong Xulu in surprise, "Are you really a master chef?"

Tong Xuelu nodded: "Yes, but only temporarily."

Fang Jingyuan was not interested in whether it was temporary or not. She was concerned about cooking: "Can you cook? No, is the food you cook edible?"

"The food she cooks is not edible, is yours edible?"

Before Tong Xuelu could say anything, Tan Xiaoyan on the side retorted.

Tong Xuelu almost laughed to death.

She remembered a sentence she had read on the Internet before she traveled through the book, which said that people like Tan Xiaoyan should be let out to anger others instead of being angry at home.

Usually, she would feel very annoyed when she was criticized by Tan Xiaoyan, but now seeing her scolding Fang Jingyuan, she felt a little happy for some reason.

Fang Jingyuan was choked. If she wasn't afraid of the negative impact, she would definitely give the waiter a good scolding.

The other members of the art troupe came in and found a seat.

Fang Jingyuan walked towards Tong Xuelu and said, "I did everything you asked me to do last time. Those people helped you with the publicity. They said they wanted you to design their hairstyles. You can't shirk your responsibility!" Tong Xuelu said

, "Don't worry. A gentleman's word is as good as his word! But now it's lunch time. I have to wait until lunch break to have time."

Fang Jingyuan expressed her understanding and then returned to the previous topic: "Can you really cook? When did you learn it?"

Tong Xuelu sighed and said with a sad face, "Children from poor families have to take care of themselves early. You know the situation in my family. My brothers and sisters are still young. If I don't learn to cook, who will cook?"

Fang Jingyuan: "..."

Her tone was helpless and weak, and she sounded extremely pitiful.

It made people feel uncomfortable.

She and Tong Xuelu have known each other since childhood. Even when they wrestled and got beaten, she had never seen Tong Xuelu act like this.

Fang Jingyuan felt a little uncomfortable: "Then why did you leave the Tong family in the first place? I mean the Tong family over there. Aunt Tong and Uncle Tong love you so much. Even if you don't leave, they won't chase you away!"

"You don't understand what it feels like to be a dependent."

Tong Xuelu lowered her voice again, very softly, and seemed to be choking with sobs.

Fang Jingyuan felt even more complicated after hearing this.

She suddenly remembered that the last time her brother got into trouble, she asked for help from herself and did not ask for help from the Tong family over there.

What's even more strange is that after the Tong family over there knew about it, they seemed indifferent and did not publicize and fight for her.

Could this be the reason why she left the Tong family in the first place?

Thinking of how she laughed at her at that time, Fang Jingyuan couldn't help but feel guilty.

"You..." Fang Jingyuan was so guilty that she couldn't say anything.

"Whatever dishes you have today, give us all of them."

Tong Xuelu agreed and went back to the kitchen.

Today's dishes include stir-fried pork, fried eggs with tomatoes, and kelp egg drop soup.

Tong Xuelu asked Guo Weiping to watch and learn from her, and she quickly cooked the three dishes.

Fang Jingyuan had already prepared the delicious "pig food", but she didn't expect that before the food was served, bursts of fragrance kept wafting out of the window, which immediately made people outside drool.

"What a nice smell! I've never smelled such a nice smell!"

"Is it really Tong Xuelu cooking in there? Why don't I believe it?"

"Me too. I've known Tong Xuelu for so long, but I've never heard that she can cook!"

Fang Jingyuan: "She really couldn't cook before, but she learned it after coming back to this family. Don't mention the past later." So as not to irritate her.

Everyone understood Fang Jingyuan's words immediately. Thinking about Tong Xuelu's current family situation, several people couldn't help but feel a little sad.

They promised repeatedly that they would not mention it later, and the "grudges" with Tong Xuelu in the past were written off.

After a while, the food was served.

Seeing the shiny and tender fried pork with peppers, the red and yellow fried eggs with tomatoes, and the kelp egg soup, several people swallowed their saliva.

What a nice smell!

Just now when the aroma came out from inside, it was particularly fragrant. Now that the food is in front of them, they feel that the aroma is even more domineering and tempting.

A few people didn't care about anything else, picked up their chopsticks and started to eat.

The pepper fried pork is spicy and salty, the meat is tender, smooth and fresh, and it goes very well with rice!

The tomato scrambled eggs are sour, sweet and fresh, smooth and delicious, and it also goes very well with rice.

The kelp egg soup is light and refreshing, just right to quench the thirst and spiciness caused by the pepper fried pork.

It's so delicious!

They never thought that Tong Xuelu not only knows how to cook, but also cooks so deliciously!

It was beyond their expectations!

After all the food was eaten up, the group looked at Tong Xuelu with not only a gentle expression, but also admiration.

Especially Fang Jingyuan, she used to dislike Tong Xuelu very much and tried every means to stop her from marrying her elder brother.

But now, she felt a little regretful in her heart.

If she had known that her cooking was so delicious, she would not have stopped her.

If she married her elder brother, wouldn't she be able to eat such delicious meals every day?

But regret is regret, she knows that in Tong Xuelu's heart, she treats her elder brother like dog shit.

How could her elder brother be so disappointing!

Tong Xuelu came out of the kitchen when it was past lunch time.

In fact, being a chef is not busy, and other people do the washing of vegetables and dishes, and she just stir-fries a few dishes.

The best thing is that she can secretly hide some meat, and their family has meat to eat every day recently.

Tong Mianmian's face is full of flesh, and it is chubby and easy to pinch.

"Xuelu, the dishes you cook are so delicious!"

"Yeah, how did you learn it? How can you make such delicious meals in such a short time?"

Tong Xuelu curled the corners of her lips slightly: "Maybe I am naturally smart."

Everyone: "..."

Sure enough, she is still the same Tong Xuelu, so arrogant!

Everyone suddenly felt more friendly, and they expressed their requests one after another.

In fact, after all, they were not satisfied with their hairstyles and wanted to become more beautiful.

Tong Xuelu made adjustments for them one by one according to their respective face shapes.

Of course, she would not accompany them to the barber shop this time, after all, she did not have so much time.

But everyone said that they understood.

After the hairstyle issue was resolved, the group had to go back to the art troupe to work.

Fang Jingyuan walked at the end, looked at Tong Xuelu and hesitated, "Well, if I have time in the future, can I come to your house to find you?"

Tong Xuelu saw through her purpose at a glance - to eat and drink for free.

But she did not dislike Fang Jingyuan, and it was indeed thanks to Fang Jingyuan and the Fang family that she could solve the school problem this time.

She nodded and said, "Okay, go when you are free."

Fang Jingyuan's eyes lit up: "Then it's settled!"

After the group left, Tong Xuelu turned around to go back to the kitchen, but she was shocked when she saw Tan Xiaoyan's square face.

"Why are you standing behind me? Don't you know that scaring people can kill them?"

Tan Xiaoyan raised her chin and said, "Can you design a hairstyle for me?"

Tong Xuelu rolled her eyes: "With you like this, it's useless to design any hairstyle!" It's ugly anyway!

If she had spoken nicely, maybe she would have given her some advice when she was in a good mood, but who was she doing this kind of benevolent look for!

Tan Xiaoyan looked at Tong Xuelu's back and was so angry that she almost smoked.

At this time, there was another person staring at Tong Xuelu's back, and that person was Liu Dongchang.

He has been very distressed for a while.

He was hesitant between the two women, not knowing which one to accept.

If he accepted Tong Xuelu, he would be reluctant to give up Meng Qingqing's family conditions, and Meng Qingqing had a gentle personality and was more suitable to be a wife. If he

chose Meng Qingqing, he would feel a little bit uncomfortable, after all, Tong Xuelu was too beautiful, and it would be very face-saving to take her out.

He compared the two of them and was very distressed.

But now, he finally made up his mind!

Although Tong Xuelu has the burden of younger brothers and sisters, which is her biggest shortcoming, she also has adoptive parents who are officials, and she also knows so many people with powerful family backgrounds.

Take the people from the art troupe who just came, for example. Which one of them is not from a cadre family?

If he marries Tong Xuelu, these resources will belong to him!

Thinking of this, he scratched his head and walked into the kitchen to ask Tong Xuelu to go to the movies.

But just as he walked into the kitchen, he saw Tong Xuelu picked up a broom and swept something on the ground hard.

Just like a golfer hitting a ball, the thing on the ground flew up and hit Liu Dongchang in the face.

That would have been fine, but the problem was that the thing was fluffy and it could move!

The thing seemed to be greatly frightened, and its claws scratched Liu Dongchang's face a few times, then fell to the ground and ran away quickly.

Liu Dongchang was more frightened than the mouse!

He had just walked over when he saw a mouse flying across the sky and hitting him right in the face.

It was a mouse, how disgusting!

Before he could react, the mouse scratched his face several times.

Liu Dongchang took a breath of cool air and was so angry that he almost died on the spot.

This was very embarrassing.

The air was quiet for a few seconds.

Tong Xuelu looked at Liu Dongchang's face and apologized, "I'm sorry, Manager Liu, I didn't see you come in, I'm really sorry!"

Fortunately, there was no bleeding on his face, so he should not be infected, otherwise there would be no vaccine in this era.

Liu Dongchang looked at her face, suppressed his anger, and pulled his hair and said, "It's okay, you said you didn't mean it, I definitely won't be angry with you."

Then he turned and went out, because if he didn't leave, he would not be able to help but swear.

Tong Xuelu:? ?

Strange, when did Liu Dongchang become so tolerant?

Tan Xiaoyan, who was in the lobby, saw this scene and obviously felt something was wrong. She glared at Tong Xulu.

**

When Wen Rugui returned to the base this time, anyone with eyes could feel his good mood.

In fact, he still looked as indifferent as before.

It's just that he walks with the wind now, and his eyes are shining all the time, making people feel that he is in the spring breeze at a glance.

Zhou Yan asked him several times, asking him if he had encountered anything.

Wen Rugui naturally wouldn't say, they haven't confirmed their relationship yet.

Since Zhong Shulan came back from the cowshed, she has taken a fancy to Wen Rugui and wanted him to be her son-in-law.

She had hinted to her husband countless times, even though he had promised her last time that he would test Wen Rugui.

But for some reason, he changed his mind after going out. This

made her very depressed.

For the sake of her daughter's lifelong event, she decided to take action herself!

Of course, she was too embarrassed to ask Wen Rugui directly. After thinking about it, she decided to start with Wen Rugui's friend Zhou Yan.

In the base, Zhou Yan and Wen Rugui have the best relationship.

If she could get Zhou Yan to say good things about her daughter in front of Wen Rugui and persuade Wen Rugui, it would be much better than her taking the initiative to say it.

The more she thought about it, the better she felt that this method was.

So in the following time, she knew that Zhou Yan had a bad throat, so she sent him some Pangdahai.

The family made delicious food, and in addition to sending it to Wen Rugui, she also sent a portion to Zhou Yan.

Even when she saw Zhou Yan's clothes were torn that day, she helped him mend them herself.

After a while, she and Zhou Yan became familiar with each other.

Zhou Yan even said several times that he wanted her to be his godmother.

Seeing this, she quickly tactfully mentioned that her daughter was too old to have a partner, and hinted that it would be better if her character was like Wen Rugui.

Zhou Yan was very understanding and said that he would definitely speak well of her.

Two days later, Zhong Shulan felt that the time was right, so she took the initiative to find Wen Rugui

. She went to find Wen Rugui under the pretext of delivering food, and chatted about family matters for a while.

With red eyes, she said: "The one I feel most sorry for in my life is Lanshi. If it weren't for my family, she wouldn't have gone to the cowshed with us at such a young age. She hasn't had a good day in the past ten years!"

Wen Rugui: "Don't be sad, Master's wife. Now you are reunited with the teacher, and life will get better day by day."

Zhong Shulan wiped her tears and nodded: "You are right, life will get better day by day, but Lanshi is older, but she still has no partner, Rugui, you..."

But she was interrupted by Wen Rugui before she finished speaking.

Wen Rugui never did such rude things as interrupting others, but this time he had to do it.

He looked at Zhong Shulan seriously: "Master, I understand your worries and your sincere maternal love for your daughter, but Zhou Yan already has a partner. No matter how satisfied you are with Zhou Yan, you can't do this!"

"Do you want Zhou Yan to dump his partner and be with Comrade Jiao? If he really does that, is he still someone you can trust for life? Besides, if the news gets out, it will have a bad impact on Comrade Jiao. Master, please don't mention this matter again in the future!"

Zhong Shulan was stunned.

The whole person seemed to be struck by lightning.

What the hell is he talking about? When did she say that she had set her eyes on Zhou Yan as a son-in-law? ?
