Tong Xulu was completely confused when she received the notice.
She thought that after Liu Dongchang got into trouble, the government would send someone else to take charge of the hotel, and she never thought that this person would be herself.
After all, with her age and qualifications, it would not be her turn anyway.
Could it be that Wen Rugui used his connections to help her?
But she quickly denied this guess.
Wen Rugui would help her solve problems, but would not use his connections to help her get a job.
And based on their current relationship, if he really did that, he should have told her in advance.
After thinking about it, she thought of Su Yueshen.
Although she didn't know what Su Yueshen's identity was, people who went to the bullpen in the 1960s and 1970s were all very awesome people.
And the first group of people who were rehabilitated were even more awesome.
It is now 1976, and the decade will not be declared over until next month, but Su Yueshen has been rehabilitated now, which shows that his identity and status are not simple.
She saved his son, so he used the position of hotel manager as a thank you gift.
Tong Xuelu thought about it and felt that this guess was the closest to the truth.
The appointment letter has come down, and she will definitely not refuse.
Instead of managing yourself,
it is better to be a hotel manager and manage others! After receiving the appointment letter, Tong Xuelu wanted to share it with Wen Rugui the first time.
She packed up and then took Tong Mianmian out.
When she arrived at the post office, she dialed the number that she remembered.
The call was quickly connected, and it was still the same female voice as before. The other party seemed to recognize her voice when he heard it.
This time Wen Rugui came very quickly.
"It's me."
Tong Xuelu couldn't help curling up the corners of her mouth when she heard his voice: "Guess what good thing happened to me?"
Wen Rugui's mouth curled up as well: "I can't guess."
If it were in modern times, Tong Xuelu might have acted coquettishly or teased Wen Rugui.
But now someone was watching her make a phone call, and there were many people around, and most importantly, it was ten cents a minute!
She had no choice but to make a quick decision: "I have just been appointed as the manager of a state-owned hotel!"
Wen Rugui was stunned for a moment: "Congratulations, I believe you can do it!"
Tong Xuelu curled her lips: "I think so too. By the way, I plan to treat everyone to a meal the day after tomorrow. Can you come back?"
Wen Rugui said without thinking: "Sure."
Tong Xuelu's smile deepened: "Then I'll wait for you to come back."
Wen Rugui said "hmm", and after the other end of the phone hung up, he hung up the phone reluctantly.
An Yuemei kept staring at Wen Rugui.
Seeing him hang up the phone, she suddenly asked with courage: "Officer Wen, did your partner call just now?"
Wen Rugui's eyes flashed with tenderness, and he nodded: "Yes, it's my partner."
My partner.
He felt that these three words were the most beautiful words in the world.
After saying that, he turned away with a faint smile on his face.
An Yuemei opened her mouth into an "O" shape, and didn't react until Wen Rugui disappeared around the corner.
She was so excited this time that she even forgot to take the enamel pot, and rushed directly to the office next door.
"Oh my God, you must not know what I just heard!"
"What?"
An Yuemei paused and said word by word: "Officer Wen said that he has a girlfriend!!"
"No way? Are you telling the truth?"
"I also want to introduce my cousin to him!"
"Me too, my cousin came here last time and saw him, and she has been asking me to introduce him to her!"
An Yuemei nodded heavily: "It's absolutely true, Officer Wen admitted it himself!"
The office was immediately filled with cries of grief.
With An Yuemei's publicity, the entire base soon knew that Wen Rugui had a girlfriend!
Many singles came to ask Wen Rugui how she found a partner, but more people were curious about what Wen Rugui's partner looked like!
Everyone wondered if she had three heads and six arms, otherwise how could she win over Wen Rugui?
**
In addition to calling Wen Rugui, Tong Xuelu also called Pu Jianyi, Jiang Danhong, and Fang Jingyuan.
However, she did not tell them that she was appointed as a manager, but only said that she would treat them to a meal and asked if they wanted to come.
The three of them said they would definitely come.
Tong Xuelu's cooking was so delicious that they would create opportunities to come even if they were busy!
When she returned home, she did not tell anyone about this, and the Wei family next door did not tell either.
She did this in case things changed later.
When Fang Jingyuan returned home in the evening, she told her family that she would go to Tong Xuelu's house for dinner the day after tomorrow, so that her family would not have to cook for her.
Fang's mother: "Don't go empty-handed, remember to buy something before you go!"
Fang Jingyuan pouted: "Mom, don't treat me like a three-year-old child. How could I not understand such a simple truth?"
Fang's mother: "If you understand, why didn't you tell us that Xuelu had such a big thing a few days ago?"
"Xuelu didn't let me tell you."
Fang Jingyuan said, glaring at her eldest brother.
Fang Wenyuan: "..."
Thinking of Tong Xuelu's matter, Fang Wenyuan also felt a little regretful.
The last time Fang Jingyuan came to see him, he was worried that he agreed too readily and people would misunderstand that he cared too much about Tong Xuelu. He originally thought of asking his friends for help in two days.
Unexpectedly, Tong Xulu was released from the Public Security Bureau that day, and he could no longer intervene.
Fang's mother: "Xue Lu's biological parents are gone, so there shouldn't be anyone to arrange a marriage for her, right? Go back and ask her if she needs me to introduce her to a blind date."
Fang Wenyuan tightened his grip on the chopsticks, his heart in his throat.
Fang Jingyuan swallowed the meat in her mouth and said, "Mom, don't worry, Xue Lu already has a partner!"
Xue Lu already has a partner!
A partner!
A partner!
A partner
.
Fang Wenyuan seemed to be struck by lightning, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the table with a "snap".
Fang Jingyuan looked at him strangely.
Fang's mother was also surprised when she heard this: "Xue Lu has a partner? Where is the man from? How old is he? What does he do?"
Fang Jingyuan rolled her eyes: "Mom, are you doing a household survey?! I haven't seen her partner, I only know that he is a researcher, and his grandfather is a commander!"
When these words came out, Fang's mother and father were shocked.
Commander!
This identity and background is too high!
Even if Tong Xue Lu was in the Tong family here before, she might not be able to match the other party.
Who would have thought that she could find such a good partner after returning?
Fang's mother was a little worried and said: "Could she have been deceived?"
Fang Jingyuan couldn't help but roll her eyes again: "Of course not, she was safe this time because of her partner and the help of her partner's friends!"
Fang's mother believed it after hearing this.
Everyone else talked about other topics, but Fang Wenyuan kept thinking about the words "Tong Xuelu has a partner".
How could this be possible?
Didn't Tong Xuelu always like him?
Wasn't she trying to please Jingyuan?
How could she have a partner?
Fang Wenyuan frowned and had no appetite at all.
**
Before Tong Xuelu had even finished inviting everyone to dinner, Lai Muqing came back from the northwest.
After traveling back and forth for more than ten days, she had lost a lot of weight and looked very haggard.
She returned to Gu's house feeling aggrieved and wanted to complain, but as soon as she entered the house, she saw Xiaojiu sitting in Gu Yilan's arms.
Her eyes widened in shock, and the color in her face seemed to be drained away as she stared at Xiaojiu.
When the Gu family saw her, they were silent.
The whole hall was silent, so silent that it made people uneasy.
Lai Muqing felt something was wrong, and her heart began to pound.
She cried out and ran towards Xiaojiu: "Xiaojiu, you are finally back. Your aunt has been worried about you for a while!"
Who would have thought that Xiaojiu, who used to stick to her, would bury his face in his mother's arms when he saw her, without even looking at her.
Lai Muqing still had a tear on her face, and she didn't know whether she should continue crying.
It was very embarrassing.
Still no one from the Gu family greeted her, and they didn't even dare to look her in the eye.
Lai Muqing was even more panicked: "Why is everyone silent? Do you know how miserable I am this time? I traveled thousands of miles to the northwest, but my cousin's husband and his family are gone!"
No one in the hall spoke again.
Lai Muqing frowned and was about to speak again, then she saw Su Yueshen walk out of the room, looking at her sharply with a pair of phoenix eyes.
Lai Mucheng was like a prey targeted by a leopard, and shuddered all over: "Cousin-in-law...you...you are back?"
Su Yueshen smiled coldly: "My son was kidnapped by you and the traffickers. How could I not come back?"
Lai Mucheng's face turned pale and his body trembled uncontrollably: "Cousin-in-law, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand a word you say?"
Su Yueshen sneered: "Do you know where Chen Guifang is now?"
Lai Mucheng's smile was uglier than crying: "Where?"
"In the cell, and my nephew who helped with him, are all locked up in the cell!"
Lai Mucheng's face was pale and his teeth were trembling.
Su Yueshen walked up to her and grabbed her by the collar: "Lai Muqing, who gave you the courage to lay hands on my son?"
Lai Muqing's collar was lifted up, and her throat suddenly became difficult to breathe: "Cousin-in-law, why do you say that? I treat Xiaojiu as my own son, how could I do anything to hurt him?"
"Chen Guifang has confessed everything! You leave the Gu family now, and I will have someone send you to a production team in Beihe Province. From now on, you can't leave the production team without my permission!"
Su Yueshen shook his hand hard, and Lai Muqing took two steps back and fell to the ground.
Lai Muqing's heart was pounding like thunder. She ignored the pain and got up and rushed towards Gu's mother: "Aunt, please save me, I haven't done anything. I don't want to leave the Gu family!"
Gu's mother looked at her with mixed feelings: "Muqing, why did you do this? We have treated you as our own daughter since you were a child. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Lai Muqing knew that she could no longer resist when she saw this situation.
She frowned and two lines of tears flowed out: "Sister Fang said that she only took the child away temporarily, and asked me to bring Xiaojiu back when my cousin's husband came back. In this way, I will become the benefactor of the Gu family, and I will no longer feel like a dependent in the Gu family!"
"Aunt, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't be so stupid to believe Sister Fang. Please forgive me this time!"
Gu's mother didn't expect that she did this for this reason, and her heart was shaken.
But Su Yueshen didn't give her a chance to waver, and said coldly: "Let's go, I'll have someone take you away now!"
When these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
Mother Gu: "So soon? Are we sending her away now?"
Su Yueshen: "If we don't send her away, do we have to wait until she sells Xiaojiu again?"
Mother Gu looked embarrassed and didn't dare to speak again.
Lai Muqing panicked: "Aunt, I won't leave. I really know I'm wrong!"
Gu's mother didn't dare to speak, and turned her head to the other side.
Lai Muqing threw herself on Gu Yilan's thigh again: "Yilan, please beg your cousin-in-law, I really know I'm wrong, please help me!"
Gu Yilan felt a little reluctant, but facing her husband's cold eyes, she hurriedly said: "Cousin, just listen to Yue Shen and go to the production team."
Lai Muqing wanted to cry, but Su Yue Shen was already very impatient: "Give you two choices, go to the production team, or go to the cell and keep Chen Guifang company!"
Lai Muqing's eyes were red with anger, she looked at Gu's mother, then at Gu Yilan, and looked at everyone in the Gu family.
But no one spoke for her.
She hated him so much!
What do you mean by treating her as your own daughter? Bah, once something happens, you will kick her out at the first opportunity!
Lai Muqing wiped her eyes and cried: "I'm sorry, aunt, I'm sorry, Yilan, I'm sorry, Xiaojiu, I'm sorry to the Gu family!"
"I'm sorry to you. Since my existence makes you so embarrassed, okay, I'll leave now!"
Gu's mother was heartbroken. On the one hand, she hated her for being an ungrateful person, but on the other hand, she couldn't bear to let her go.
But with Su Yueshen there, she didn't dare to say a word of reluctance.
Two hours later, Lai Muqing was sent on a train to Beihe Province.
The people of the Gu family left with a heavy heart after watching the train start.
Lai Muqing didn't sit back in her seat until she couldn't see anyone anymore, with a gloomy face.
Just now, when she was packing her luggage, she had convinced her aunt.
She would write a few more letters and cry back. With the soft characters of the Gu family, they would surely soften their hearts and she would be able to come back then!
At this moment, the door of the carriage was opened.
Two police officers walked up to her and twisted her arms without saying a word.
Lai Muqing was shocked and angry: "What are you doing? Let me go, or I will call for help!"
One of the police officers said: "Lai Muqing, you are suspected of child trafficking. We are going to arrest you now!"
Lai Muqing's eyes were red with anger and she struggled desperately: "No, my cousin-in-law clearly said that he would not report me! He clearly said so!"
But the two police officers ignored her arguments, detained her directly, and got off the train at the next station.
Later, Lai Muqing was sentenced to ten years in prison for child trafficking and was sent to the most difficult farm in the northwest to participate in labor reform.
The Gu family thought she went to the production team to be a teacher. Although they felt a little guilty, they felt that the production team was not bad, at least better than working on the farm.
**
Soon it was the day for Tong Xulu's dinner party.
Wen Rugui and Pu Jianyi were the first to come.
Shen Wanrong wanted to help, but she knew nothing about the kitchen, so she had to help take care of the children.
This time, Wen Rugui did not go directly to the kitchen to help as he did before.
At this time, he and Pu Jianyi were discussing things in the living room.
Pu Jianyi licked his back teeth: "Rugui, you are so mean. You didn't tell me that you had confirmed your relationship with Comrade Tong, and now you need my help, you have the nerve to ask!"
Wen Rugui: "About your borrowing money..."
Pu Jianyi almost vomited blood: "Can you change to something else to threaten me?"
Wen Rugui: "This is the most effective." Pu
Jianyi was so angry that his teeth itched: "Okay, tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"
Wen Rugui's dark eyelashes trembled slightly "My birthday is coming soon, but Comrade Tong doesn't know it yet."
Pu Jianyi was stunned for a moment: "Why don't you just tell her directly? Do you want me to tell her?"
Wen Rugui paused: "I don't think it's a good idea to tell her directly, as if I'm forcing her to celebrate my birthday." Pu
Jianyi raised his eyebrows: "Then what do you want?"
Wen Rugui: "When she comes over later, you can say loudly that next Thursday is my birthday."
She will probably celebrate her birthday after hearing that.
If he brings it up on his own initiative, it will seem like he is forcing her, and it will also seem too deliberate.
"Puff——"
"Hahaha, Rugui, when did you become so cunning that you even want me to help you act!"
Pu Jianyi laughed until tears were about to come out.
Wen Rugui's ears were red: "So will you help or not?"
Pu Jianyi wiped the tears from his eyes: "You are my good brother, how can I not help you!"
In fact, he had something on Wen Rugui, so he had to help!
Tong Xuelu came over with a plate of fruit and happened to hear the conversation: "......?"
