When she first saw Jason, Tong Xuelu thought he was a tough guy who didn't talk much.
After all, he had a pair of deep eyes and deep facial features, and when he didn't talk, he gave people an unfathomable feeling.
After meeting him, she realized that the saying "Don't judge a person by his appearance, and don't judge the sea by its capacity" is very true.
Who would have thought that under such a cold appearance, there is a funny soul?
Tong Xuelu coughed, asked Tong Jiaming to help him up, and said, "Xiao Xie, it's dangerous for you to walk while taking pictures."
Jason nodded like a garlic, "Comrade Tong, you are right, I will never do this again."
Tong Xuelu said, "It's so cold now, your clothes are wet, you should go back and change them quickly, so as not to catch a cold."
Jason nodded again obediently, "Okay, I will go back now, thank you for your hospitality today."
He stood up with Tong Jiaming's hand, and was relieved to see that the camera in his hand was not damaged.
Because Jason was a special person, Tong Xuelu was worried that he would have an accident on the way back and it would be difficult to explain, so he asked Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin to accompany him back.
The others went home first.
Wen and his group went directly back to the military compound. They had been at Tong's house for a long time, and they couldn't eat there again.
Back home,
Wen said earnestly, "Rugui, you have to keep an eye on that guy named Jason."
Wen Rugui blinked and said, "Hmm."
Old Master Wen: "Don't just say umm, you have to take action. If your wife is kidnapped, don't come back and cry to me!"
"..." Wen Rugui shook his head gently, "Xue Lu is not that kind of person."
Old Master Wen was so disappointed that he couldn't make it: "Of course I know Xue Lu is not that kind of person, but there is no reason to be a thief for a thousand days. Because of his special status, that brat can often get along with Xue Lu, which is why he is better than you!"
"And that boy is eloquent, unlike you who are always silent. At first, I wondered how Xue Lu fell in love with you!"
Wen Rugui: "..."
Old Master Wen got angry when he saw his slow look. It's really the emperor who is in a hurry to kill the eunuch.
Ah, he is not a eunuch.
"Don't take it lightly. You will be 26 years old after the New Year. When I was your age, your father ran around the yard naked, and you haven't even got married yet. Aren't you ashamed?"
Wen Rugui: "…………" We
are of the same blood. Isn't it a bit too much to hurt each other?
Because of the old man's nagging, Wen Rugui felt even more heavy-hearted, and he even suffered from insomnia that night.
The next day, Wen Rugui got up. She was supposed to wait for other relatives to come to visit or visit other relatives at home, but she couldn't sit still, so she dressed up and ran to Tong's house again.
Seeing this, Old Man Wen not only didn't feel angry, but also felt that he finally got it.
When Wen Rugui came over, Tong Xulu hadn't gotten up yet.
Normally she doesn't get to rest, and now that she has a rare holiday, of course she wants to sleep until she wakes up naturally.
Wen Rugui didn't want to wake her up, so he sat in the hall and waited quietly.
Commander Xiao didn't expect Wen Rugui to come again early this morning, with a face as sullen as an old cucumber: "You come to our house quite frequently."
Wen Rugui: "That's what I should do."
"..." Commander Xiao was choked, "You come so frequently, why don't you just become our son-in-law?"
He thought Wen Rugui would definitely get angry after hearing this, but Wen Rugui actually thought about it seriously.
He thought for a while and said, "If Grandpa Xiao can convince my grandfather, I personally have no problem."
Commander Xiao: "..." Isn't this equivalent to talking nonsense?
For a while, neither of them spoke. The hall was so quiet that it was a little strange.
Commander Xiao looked at him sharply and said, "If Xuelu hadn't known me, she wouldn't be a good match for your Wen family. Didn't you care about that at all?"
Wen Rugui shook his head and said, "I care about the person, not the family background."
He always thought that people were strange. When looking for a partner, they always compared the family background one by one, as if marrying a wife was to marry her background, not the person.
Commander Xiao snorted, and was quite satisfied with this answer: "When you get married in the future, will you let Xuelu cook for you every day, and you will just sit there with your legs crossed and act like a big boss?"
Wen Rugui shook his head again: "No, I'm learning to cook at home now."
Ever since he heard her say that men who can cook are special, he would cook for himself whenever he had time.
But he was usually too busy and had little time to come home, so he had only learned to cook some very simple meals so far, and the taste was completely incomparable to what she cooked.
Commander Xiao snorted again: "I hope you can do what you say, and don't just talk big!"
Wen Rugui: "Don't worry, Grandpa Xiao, I will do what I say."
Tong Mianmian walked in rubbing her eyes and asked curiously: "What is the young grandpa? Does it mean that the grandpa is younger? Then who is the eldest grandpa, is it Grandpa Wen?"
Wen Rugui: "..."
Commander Xiao was so angry that his nose was spitting: "..."
He is the eldest grandpa, what qualifications does old man Wen have to put himself above him?
Tong Xulu slept until ten o'clock and Wen Rugui had been staring at Commander Xiao in the hall for two hours.
She changed into new clothes and came out. When she saw Wen Rugui, she was stunned for a moment: "Why are you here so early?"
She was going to treat everyone today and planned to hold a barbecue party in the yard.
After she came here, the Wei family, Wen Rugui, Pu Jianyi, Fang Jingyuan and others all helped her a lot. In addition, she had not officially mentioned this matter to everyone after recognizing her grandfather this time, so she wanted to use this opportunity to clear her name.
In addition to the people mentioned above, she also invited Jiang Danhong.
Jiang Danhong's parents and brother had all passed away. The other relatives were either sent to the farm by her or did not associate with her. She was a lonely person in Beijing.
However, the barbecue would not start until the evening, and it was a bit unexpected for her that Wen Rugui came so early.
When Wen Rugui saw her, he could no longer see anyone else: "I want to come over earlier to help."
Tong Xuelu knew that he wanted to find time to spend more time with her, and smiled with her red lips: "Okay, then come to the kitchen to help me later."
"Okay!"
Wen Rugui is now very sensitive to the word kitchen.
Every time in the kitchen, even if there is no reward, he can be alone with her.
Sitting inside, Commander Xiao was unexpectedly fed a mouthful of dog food, and felt very full in his stomach.
**
It snowed heavily last night, and now the yard is covered with a thick layer of snow.
After lunch, Tong Jiaming and his brothers and sisters and Wei Zhuzhu next door made snowmen in the yard, which was very lively.
Tong Xuelu: "Let's go build a snowman too."
Wen Rugui looked at her and said, "Okay."
Tong Xuelu's skill in building a snowman was very average, and the result was a mess, which made her laugh.
But the snowman built by Wen Rugui was very cute and round.
He used stones to make eyes for the snowman and carrots to make a mouth, which looked very vivid.
Tong Xuelu: "The snowman you built is really beautiful."
Wen Rugui's ears turned red, and he whispered, "It looks like you."
Oh, he said sweet love words again.
Tong Xuelu tilted her head: "Who taught you to say these words?"
Wen Rugui shook his head: "No one taught me."
But he had a notebook in which he recorded the methods that others had said to pursue their partners.
It's just that this kind of thing is embarrassing, and he plans to tell her later.
Tong Xuelu didn't ask any more questions and asked him to build another snowman.
Wen Rugui had wanted to do this originally, and when he heard her say this, his eyes were filled with smiles.
Soon he built another snowman.
The two snowmen, one tall and one short, stood close to each other, looking like a couple.
At three or four o'clock, customers came one after another.
Because it was not easy to buy meat in that era, Tong Xuelu had agreed with everyone in the morning to let them bring their own ingredients.
When Old Man Wen and Uncle Zong came, they brought Xiao Ba, whose feathers had been plucked.
The Wei family brought bird eggs and corn, and Fang Jingyuan brought beef.
When it came to Jiang Danhong, in addition to bringing food, she also brought someone with her.
That person was none other than Jiao Yunshi.
Jiang Danhong explained: "This is my new friend. She happened to visit me at my house, so I asked her to come with me."
Jiao Ranshi blushed: "I came uninvited. Please forgive me, Comrade Tong."
She and Jiang Danhong met at school.
As the first person to report her father-in-law and husband, Jiang Danhong was not very popular at school, and as an older student, she did not have many friends at school.
Later, they met by chance. They felt that they had met too late. They admired each other's courage, so they gradually became friends.
This time, she came because Jiang Danhong told her about Tong Xuelu's deeds, which made her admire her very much.
She wanted to meet this extraordinary woman, so she came here with a thick face.
Tong Xuelu looked at Jiao Ranshi, with a flash of surprise in her eyes: "You are Sister Danhong's friend, so you are my friend. You don't have to feel uncomfortable. Just treat this place as your home."
Jiao Ranshi heard this and breathed a sigh of relief: "Comrade Tong is really approachable. By the way, my name is Jiao Ranshi, Comrade Tong can just call me Ranshi."
Jiao Yunshi?
Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows slightly. This name is very interesting: "Then you can just call me Xuelu."
In the kitchen, Pu Jianyi was helping to thread mushrooms and other vegetables onto bamboo sticks for use in the evening barbecue.
As he was getting dressed, he sighed, "I envy you so much for finding a partner so quickly. My parents almost drove me crazy at home."
"They just ask me to go on blind dates every day. They don't understand at all. My heart is full of holes right now. I don't want to date at all, let alone get married."
After talking for a long time, Wen Rugui didn't move. Pu Jianyi couldn't help but ask, "Are you listening to me?"
Wen Rugui: "Yeah."
Seeing that he agreed, Pu Jianyi continued, "I used to think that the ancient poets were all moaning without reason. Now I understand that they were expressing their feelings. Just like I now understand the feeling of 'except for dark clouds, there are no mountains'..." Before he finished speaking
, he heard a sneer from the door.
"Yuan Zhen's poem goes 'Once I have been to the vast sea, all other waters are but water; except for the Wushan Mountains, all other clouds are but clouds'. If you even remembered the poem wrong, don't even talk about empathy!"
Pu Jianyi's body froze, and his face felt like it was slapped in the face.
He turned around and wanted to have a good argument with Jiang Danhong, but he turned around and met a pair of gentle eyes.
The other person had curved eyebrows, a small nose, and red lips. When she smiled, it was as if she saw thousands of pear trees in bloom.
Pu Jianyi looked at the other person and was stunned.
Seeing his stupid look, Jiang Danhong put down the things in her hands and said to Jiao Huanshi: "Let's go outside to help."
She was afraid that she would not be able to control her mouth if she continued to look at Pu Jianyi's stupid look here. After all, today is the New Year, and it is not good to quarrel in other people's houses.
Jiao Huanshi was about to nod, and suddenly Wen Rugui raised his head.
Seeing Wen Rugui's face, she was startled: "Comrade Wen, why are you here?"
Wen Rugui looked at her and was stunned for a moment: "Excuse me, who are you...?"
Jiao Huanshi's face was slightly hot: "I am Jiao Huanshi, I came here with Sister Danhong, and I didn't expect to see you here."
Wen Rugui: "This is my girlfriend's home."
His girlfriend's home?
Jiao Pingshi was stunned. Does this mean that Tong Xuelu is his partner?
A hint of discomfort flashed across Jiao Pingshi's face, and he felt a little uneasy.
Although she had never told anyone that she had already let go of her feelings for Wen Rugui, if someone found out, would they think she was getting close to Tong Xuelu on purpose?
But she didn't know she was Wen Rugui's boyfriend before she came here. Jiang Danhong mentioned the person who helped her in front of her, but she only called him Comrade Wen, so she never thought that person was Wen Rugui.
Jiang Danhong noticed that her face was a little pale, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Jiao Yanshi shook her head: "I'm fine, let's go out and help."
Since Wen Rugui was in the kitchen, she couldn't stay here.
She had to avoid suspicion when she was in the melon field and plum garden!
It was not until Jiao Yanshi walked away that Pu Jianyi came back to his senses: "Rugui, do you know that female comrade?"
Wen Rugui: "Yes."
Pu Jianyi's eyes lit up: "Who is she? Why haven't I heard you mention her before?"
Wen Rugui looked at him strangely: "She is the daughter of my mentor, why should I mention her to you?"
Pu Jianyi: "So she is the daughter of your mentor, no wonder she looks so elegant!"
Wen Rugui looked at him: "You don't seem to know her. That's right."
Pu Jianyi nudged him with his elbow: "Rugui, you see I have good conditions, how about you be a matchmaker and introduce me to Comrade Jiao?"
Wen Rugui frowned slightly: "Didn't you just say you don't want to date? Even more don't want to get married?"
Pu Jianyi: "..."
Wen Rugui continued: "You also said 'except for dark clouds, there is no mountain'."
Pu Jianyi: "…………"
The days in winter are very short, and it gets dark before six o'clock.
As soon as it gets dark, the barbecue stove in the yard starts to burn.
This is the advantage of having an independent yard. Once the door is closed, no one knows what you eat inside.
Everyone has never eaten barbecue before, and they all think it is very novel.
Tong Xuelu brushed the barbecue with homemade barbecue sauce and then demonstrated it to everyone.
When the barbecue was done, the tempting aroma immediately filled the whole yard.
"It smells so good, sister, can I be the first to eat it?"
Tong Jiaxin asked eagerly with sparkling eyes.
Tong Xuelu glanced at him and said, "There are so many elders here, how can you be the first to eat it?"
Tong Jiaxin immediately wilted.
The grilling method is actually very simple. After watching Tong Xuelu demonstrate it several times, everyone quickly learned it.
When there are many people, grilling will be fast.
Grandpa Wen was gnawing on Xiao Ba's chicken leg and nodded with satisfaction: "Everything made by Xuelu is delicious!"
Commander Xiao was very proud: "Don't you see whose granddaughter you are?"
Grandpa Wen spit on his face: "Bah, you are a half-way grandfather, what are you showing off."
Commander Xiao was angry: "You old stubborn man, if you have the ability, don't eat my food!"
Grandpa Wen: "Xuelu invited me to eat this, it wasn't cooked by you!"
Commander Xiao was so angry that his eyes bulged: "..."
Fang Jingyuan on the side was eating with oil in her mouth: "Xuelu, how come everything you cook is so delicious, if only you were a man!" Want to get married.
Tong Xuelu: "If I were a man, I would definitely not marry you."
Fang Jingyuan shouted: "Why? Am I not pretty enough, or am I not virtuous enough?"
Tong Xuelu: "I'm afraid you'll fart and suffocate me to death when you eat sweet potatoes."
Fang Jingyuan: "..." Why did she tell her this last time?
Tong Xuelu saw Wen Rugui looking at her after she finished speaking, and she handed him a roasted chicken wing.
As she leaned over, she whispered: "If I were a man, I would marry you."
If she were a man, she would press Wen Rugui under her and bully him until his eyes turned red
. Wen Rugui's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the tip of his ear turned red instantly.
Everyone gathered together for a barbecue, talking and laughing. Children were running around in the yard. Young people were talking about their hopes for the future, and the elderly were reminiscing about the hard times.
Children, young people and old people, three groups appeared in one place, clearly separated, but so harmonious.
The barbecue lasted until after eight o'clock.
Jiao Bolu had been freed before the New Year and could now enter and leave the base freely. They bought a house in the city, next to Zhong Shulan's mother's house.
Jiao Yanshi lived not far from Jiang Danhong, and in the same direction as Pu Jianyi's home.
Pu Jianyi said, "How about letting me send these two female comrades back?"
Jiang Danhong glanced at him and didn't comment.
Jiao Yanshi knew that Jiang Danhong had some grudges against Pu Jianyi, but she also knew that Pu Jianyi was not a bad person.
Moreover, he took the initiative to offer to send them back. If neither of them said anything, it would seem a bit bad.
So she raised her head and smiled at Pu Jianyi: "Then please trouble Comrade Park."
Park Jianyi's heart was pounding when he met her smile: "No trouble, no trouble!"
She smiled so happily when he said he would send her home. Does it mean that she also has a good impression of him?
Wen Rugui's family and Fang Jingyuan were all in the military compound, so he asked them to send Fang Jingyuan back.
After everyone left, Tong Xulu started to boil water for the brothers and sisters to take a bath and wash their feet, and then she carried Tong Mianmian, who could hardly open her eyes, to bed to sleep.
After a busy day, Tong Xulu washed up and went to bed quickly.
In the middle of the night, Commander Xiao suddenly woke up.
He was worried that his two grandsons would kick off the quilt in the middle of the night and catch a cold, so he put on his clothes and went to the next room.
What's more, as soon as he entered, he saw half of Tong Jiaxin's buttocks exposed.
He shook his head and walked over, bending down to cover him with the quilt.
With a "puff" sound, a gas rushed into his nose.
"..."
Commander Xiao's face turned green from the smoke!
