On the first day of school, Tong Xuelu went shopping and rode her bicycle to the school to tell the teacher about Tong Jiaming.
Tong Jiaming's grades were obvious to all. His class teacher did not ask him to skip a grade, originally wanting him to improve the school's admission rate.
Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to ask for a promotion. Now that his parents have come to the school, the class teacher naturally cannot stop or refuse.
Moreover, Tong Xuelu is well-known among the teachers of Chengnan Primary School, and no one dares to offend her easily.
The school said that it would contact Chengnan Middle School and arrange the exam.
Coming out of the office, it suddenly began to drizzle outside.
The spring rain is as precious as oil. Green new buds grow on the branches, embellishing the dead branches, making people feel as if they see hope.
The air carrying the fragrance of earth after the rain blew with the wind. Tong Xulu shuddered. She was thinking about whether to borrow an umbrella from Jiang Danhong when she heard a conversation coming from the corner.
"Teacher Jiang, I want to tell you that Comrade Lao An is really good. Although he is 20 years older than you, his three sons have grown up. You can become a mother-in-law directly without having children. How great is that?"
"Teacher Qin, I have already said that I don't want to marry again. Even if I want to marry again, I must marry someone I want to marry. I don't think Comrade Lao An is suitable."
"Why don't you tell me clearly what's wrong with you? If you don't tell me clearly, how can I explain it to him?" "
The age is not suitable. I think he is too old, and his family is too complicated. I want to find a simpler family."
"Teacher Jiang, I'm not saying anything bad about you. People should know themselves. You are not young anymore after getting married. And she even reported it to her uncle and husband. It's hard for someone to marry you. Old An is willing to marry you because you have a house!"
Jiang Danhong's face flushed red: "If no one wants to marry me, I don't want to get married. Even if I never marry again in my life, I won't fall in love with a man like that!"
The teacher surnamed Qin was scolded and was very angry. He left swearing.
"I'm meddling in other people's business. If I interfere in your business again in the future, I will be struck by lightning!" "
You still want to find a young man in your condition? Bah, if you don't have a house, even an eighty-year-old man won't look down on you. You're still not happy. Then you can stay alone in the house for the rest of your life!"
Jiang Danhong bit her lips tightly, her chest heaving with anger. Who knew that she would face Tong Xulu when she turned around.
Tong Xuelu said awkwardly: "Sister Danhong, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you. I was just taking shelter from the rain here."
Jiang Danhong waved her hands: "I don't blame you. You've seen me in the most embarrassing moments."
Tong Xuelu: "What's wrong with that teacher? Did you ask her to help you find someone?" Whether
the matchmaker is reliable or not is very important. Some matchmakers are not only blind but also blind in their hearts.
She remembered that before she entered the book, a matchmaker introduced a blind date to a fake sister.
The matchmaker said that the man was 1.8 meters tall and looked more handsome than a star. The fake sister was very excited. Who knew that when they met, the man was not even 1.67 meters tall and looked like a rotten melon.
Jiang Danhong shook her head, a flash of disgust in her eyes: "No, she introduced me to him herself. I said no, but she still wanted me to meet him."
She didn't have good relationships with people in school. She was afraid that a blunt refusal would further affect the relationship. In the end, she couldn't resist the other party and went to meet him.
The man surnamed An was not only old enough to be her father, but he was also a factory security guard. The key point was that he had three sons. As soon as they met, he said that after marriage, the whole family would move to her house.
She had sold her uncle's house before and bought another house in the city. Now she no longer lives in the school dormitory.
Tong Xuelu was also disgusted: "I think what you said just now is very right. I would rather never get married in my life than marry a scumbag!"
No wonder so many women in later generations are afraid of marriage and men. In addition to some men being too disgusting, it is also because marriage cannot guarantee women's rights.
If Jiang Danhong really marries that old An, she will not only have to serve an old man, but also their whole family, and the house will be occupied. What is she looking for?
Is it because the other party is old enough or ugly enough?
Hearing this, Jiang Danhong finally showed a smile on her face: "Xuelu, I find that you are really different from others. You and Comrade Wen are both good people!"
In fact, she also longs for the warmth of family in her heart, but she doesn't want to marry someone casually.
The first marriage was forced. If she gets married again, she must find a man she likes and is willing to marry.
Tong Xuelu: "You are also very special. I believe that one day you will meet someone who is right for you."
Tong Xuelu then went to Jiang Danhong's dormitory to borrow an umbrella from her.
After a few days, there was news about Tong Jiaming's skipping grades.
He was successfully admitted to Chengnan Middle School. Starting tomorrow, he can go directly to Chengnan Middle School to register.
After Tong Jiaxin knew the news, he was very depressed: "Second brother, won't I be unable to go to school with you in the future?"
Tong Jiaming nodded: "You will go to school alone in the future. You must listen to the class seriously and not fight with others."
Tong Jiaxin pouted and looked listless.
Compared with Tong Mianmian, Tong Jiaxin is actually more attached to his brother Tong Jiaming, but he didn't show it because he is a boy.
Tong Xuelu went home in the evening and soon learned the news.
She smiled and asked Tong Jiaming: "Have you decided what reward you want?"
Tong Jiaming showed an embarrassed look: "I want a pair of white Huili sneakers."
Tong Xuelu nodded without thinking: "Okay, wait until the weekend when you don't have classes, we can go to the department store to buy them."
A pair of white Huili sneakers costs 8 yuan these days, which is a luxury, but owning a pair of white sneakers is also a very fashionable thing.
The number of people who can own white sneakers in the school can be counted on one hand.
For the first time, Tong Jiaming showed the joy that should be there at this age: "Thank you, sister!"
Tong Jiaxin was envious, he also wanted a pair of white Huili sneakers.
But when he thought of his grades, he immediately wilted.
With his grades, I'm afraid he will never have a pair of white sneakers in his lifetime. He
can only wait until his second brother's feet grow bigger, and then he can wear his second brother's shoes.
Thinking of this, he became happy again.
Tong Xuelu was speechless when she saw his face was like a Peking opera.
**
On the day of the Lantern Festival.
Tong Xuelu made some dumplings in addition to glutinous rice balls.
The dumpling skin was thin, wrapped with three fresh fillings, and each one was wrapped round and looked very cute. The spring
bamboo shoots in the filling were crisp and delicious, the mushrooms were rich, and mixed with the aroma of pork fat. When you take a bite, the rich soup fills the whole mouth, which is very fresh and fragrant. There
are three kinds of fillings for glutinous rice balls in total, namely sesame filling, peanut filling and red bean paste filling.
The skin of the glutinous rice balls is soft and delicious, and it melts in your mouth. When you bite the skin, the filling inside flows out, filling your mouth with fragrance.
The brothers and sisters of the Tong family could not stop eating.
In previous years, they did not have glutinous rice balls to eat during the Lantern Festival. Only once did they make glutinous rice balls at home, and they were still empty. At that time, they thought they were delicious. Now they know what real deliciousness is.
Tong Xuelu made a lot of them. In addition to sending them to the Wei family next door, she also sent some to Grandpa Wen.
When Grandpa Wen and Uncle Zong saw her sending things over, they both smiled with their teeth showing.
Old Master Wen stuffed the prepared New Year's money into her hands: "Good child, this is for you."
Tong Xuelu: "Grandpa Wen, you have already given New Year's money during the Chinese New Year."
Old Master Wen waved his hands: "You don't know this. The custom in my hometown is to give New Year's money during the Lantern Festival. Take it quickly, otherwise it will be unlucky."
Tong Xuelu: "..."
Old Master was using magic to stuff money into her hands.
Old Master Wen did not let her refuse, and stuffed the New Year's money into her hands.
Tong Xuelu could not refuse, so she had to accept the New Year's money.
She stayed at the Wen family for half an hour before going back.
Who knew that Wen Rugui came back from the base right after she left.
Old Master Wen was surprised: "Why are you back? Xuelu just left ten minutes ago, didn't you meet her on the road?"
Wen Rugui was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No, I must have missed her."
"Rugui, Xuelu is such a good girl, you must grasp her well, and marry her home as soon as possible."
Old Master Wen picked up a dumpling and dipped it in vinegar. He took a bite and it was so fragrant that his eyes almost squinted.
Usually when he said this, Wen Rugui would either keep silent or say that he would ask Tong Xuelu's opinion.
Who knew that this time, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Wen Rugui say: "Grandpa, I want to go to Tong's house to propose."
"Pop".
The dumpling in Grandpa Wen's hand fell to the ground.
He looked down and felt so distressed that he picked it up and wanted to blow it before continuing to eat, but he had to give up when he saw his grandson looking at him.
"What did you say just now? Are you going to the Tong family to propose?"
Wen Rugui's ears blushed slightly: "Well, I came back to discuss it with you this time."
Grandpa Wen was so happy that he didn't eat the dumpling anymore: "You little brat finally got it, I thought I would never be able to drink your wedding wine in this lifetime!"
Although he always yelled at him to get married and have a great-grandson, he had only yelled at him for so many years and never really forced him.
Thinking of what happened that year, how could he dare to force him?
He had previously told Xiao Zong that if he passed away one day, he must take good care of Wen Rugui for him. Unexpectedly, he actually found someone he wanted to marry.
Thinking of this, Old Master Wen couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. Uncle
Zong beside him had already secretly wiped away his tears.
Wen Rugui lowered his voice and said, "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I have made you worry all these years."
Old Master Wen glared at him and said, "It's good that you know, you are just an idiot!"
Wen Rugui: "..."
Old Master Wen: "If you want to propose, you must first ask for Xuelu's opinion, and let that old-fashioned guy in the northwest know."
Commander Xiao is now Tong Xuelu's grandfather and the only elder in the Tong family. Naturally, his consent is required for marriage.
Wen Rugui nodded: "I know."
Huang Qimin said that day that he would pass on his life experience to him, but he talked for two hours without any useful experience.
Old Master Wen was excited: "Xiao Zong, take a look at what else is left at home, and we will take it to Tong's house."
Uncle Zong agreed: "I'll go and see now." Uncle
Zong went into the utility room to look for it, and took out two bottles of maltose and two packs of snacks: "Commander, that's all."
"That's all, we'll go now."
Old Master Wen thought it was a bit shabby, but now was not a formal proposal, and when the proposal was formal, these things would definitely not be enough.
Wen Rugui washed her face and combed her hair before leaving.
Tong Xulu had just sat down at home when she saw several men from the Wen family coming to the door.
She looked at Wen Rugui in surprise: "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"
Wen Rugui met her misty eyes, his heart pounding like thunder: "I came back to discuss something with you." Discuss
something?
Tong Xuelu blinked her almond eyes, her face misty.
Old Master Wen pushed him in anger: "You idiot, if you want to talk, you have to go inside and talk, how can you talk about this at the door?"
Tong Xuelu felt more and more strange, closed the door and went in with them.
Entering the hall, Old Master Wen coughed and said: "Rugui, you come and talk." Wen
Rugui's ears were slightly hot, and he looked at Tong Xuelu and said: "Xuelu, we have known each other for six months and twenty days. I want to grow old with you. I wonder if you are willing to give me this opportunity?"
! ! !
Tong Xuelu was stunned.
She never expected that Wen Rugui would come to her house with his family and propose to her!
But this proposal was a little too unromantic.
Thinking back to the romantic proposals before she traveled through the book, there were not only balloons and rings, but also various surprises.
Looking at the two bottles of maltose on the table, Tong Xulu suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But thinking that this was how it was in this era, many people didn't even ask their partner's wishes, and got married directly after discussing with their parents.
But this was the only marriage in two lifetimes, and she didn't want to be so hasty.
Seeing that she didn't express her opinion, Grandpa Wen couldn't help but get anxious: "Xuelu, although Rugui is a little bit stupid and doesn't talk much, he is an honest child. I can guarantee that he will treat you well. If he dares to treat you badly, I will be the first to beat him to death!"
Wen Rugui: "..." Grandpa, you are really my grandpa.
Uncle Zong also assisted, "Xuelu, I have watched Rugui grow up, and this is the first time I have seen him treat a lesbian so attentively. He even stole the chickens from his home and gave them to you, so he is sincere to you."
Wen Rugui: "…………"
"Puchi--"
Thinking of poor Xiaowu, Tong Xuelu finally couldn't help laughing.
She thought for a while and said, "Grandpa Wen, I have to discuss this matter with my grandfather before giving you an answer."
She had her own ideas in her mind, but she couldn't say this idea in front of Grandpa Wen and Uncle Zong.
She would have to find a chance to talk to Wen Rugui in private later.
Besides, how can a proposal be successful in one go?
It's not that easy to marry her!
Hearing Tong Xuelu's answer, the faces of several men in the Wen family showed disappointment.
But they also knew in their hearts that this was normal, and girls must be reserved.
Wen Rugui and Old Man Wen and his son had dinner at Tong's house before going back.
Wen Rugui did not get a definite answer, and returned to the base like a wilted eggplant.
Zhou Yan saw him coming back and cared about him more than his leader: "Rugui, what did your girlfriend say, did she agree to you?"
Wen Rugui pursed his lips: "She said she would talk to her grandfather before giving her a reply."
"Don't be discouraged, brother, if you fail once, try twice. As men, we have to be thick-skinned."
Zhou Yan pretended to pat his shoulder to comfort him, but he was very happy in his heart.
Wen Rugui's proposal was not successful, and it was God who helped him!
In two days he will also ask for leave to go back and propose, no matter what he has to succeed before Wen Rugui!
Wen Rugui said "hmm" and went back to the dormitory dejectedly.
The next day Director Jiao moved his office, and Wen Rugui went to help.
Unexpectedly, he accidentally hit his waist when moving the cabinet, and then twisted it.
Wen Rugui's waist injury was quite serious. He couldn't even stand up straight. He broke out in cold sweats when he turned around. He could only lie in bed to rest.
Huang Qimin and Zhou Yan came to the dormitory to see him.
Huang Qimin saw that he was so serious, and couldn't help sighing: "Rugui, I'm not trying to scare you, a man's waist is very important. Why are you so careless?"
Wen Rugui and Zhou Yan were confused when they heard it.
Huang Qimin looked at their ignorant faces and blushed for the first time: "You two haven't gotten married yet, so there are some things I can't explain to you too clearly."
"In short, a man's waist is as important as a woman's belly. Your waist is injured like this, I'm worried that you won't be able to do it in the future!"
Wen Rugui was even more confused: "What won't work?"
"It's just that men can't do that!" Huang Qimin blushed, "Why don't you understand? It's that you may not be able to have children in the future!"
Wen Rugui: "!!!"
