43 cups of green tea

After Tong Xuelu returned home, Tong Jiaming and the others hadn't come back yet.

Wei Zhiguo took Wei Zhuzhu to visit his old comrades in the countryside today. Before leaving, he asked Tong Jiaming and his siblings if they wanted to go with them.

Ever since the Wei family found out what happened to their family, they always thought of ways and excuses to bring them food, and the entire Tong family saw it.

Wei Zhiguo is a reliable person, and the country he went to is not far away. Tong Xuelu felt that it was not the same thing for Tong Jiaming and the others to stay at home all day, and it would be good to go out to relax, so he let them make their own decisions.

Tong Jiaxin and Tong Mianmian were arguing to go out to play, but in the end Tong Jiaming could only follow them to take care of the two of them.

Tong Xuelu saw that it was still early, so she took the "deliang" cloth that Wen Rugui gave her last time, and went out to Wei's house.

Shen Wanrong was bored at home alone, when she saw Tong Xuelu coming over, a bright smile appeared on her face.

"Ouch, someone finally came to talk to me, Zhuzhu is not at home today, I am really not used to it."

Tong Xuelu smiled and said: "I was supposed to come here a few days ago, but something happened at home, so I have time to come here now."

Shen Wanrong welcomed her into the house: "You can come here anytime, anyway, I'm free. By the way, what style do you want to make this cloth? A dress, or a shirt and pants?"

Tong Xuelu thought for a while and said, "Make it into a dress."

Although it is still very conservative now, it is okay for dresses to be below the knee.

Moreover, the 10-year event will really end in October next month, and the situation will become more and more clear and open, so it is not a problem for her to wear it as a skirt.

Shen Wanrong smiled and nodded: "Young girls should dress more beautifully. When I was young, I especially liked wearing skirts. Now I am old."

Tong Xuelu: "Grandma Shen still has a charm, she is not old at all, the first time I saw Grandma Shen, I thought you were a 28-year-old girl!"

Shen Wanrong laughed until the tiny wrinkles at the corners of her eyes appeared, and she slapped her with a smile: "You child loves to talk nonsense, any 28-year-old girl like me should cry!"

Although Tong Xuelu's words were a bit exaggerated, Shen Wanrong looked very young indeed, a person who was almost sixty years old looked less than fifty years old.

There was a room in the Wei family that was specially set up as a dressing room for Shen Wanrong.

The dressing room is spacious and bright, and there is a Peony brand sewing machine in it.

These days, a sewing machine costs about 130 yuan, which is beyond the reach of ordinary families, and the Wei family is indeed a master of money.

Shen Wanrong took out a ruler to measure her, and when she measured her waist, she couldn't help admiring: "Your waist is really thin, half an inch smaller than when I was young!"

What she hasn't said is that her breasts are not small, and her figure is bumpy. If she wears a cheongsam with such a waist-to-chest ratio, she will definitely look good!

It's a pity that no one dares to wear cheongsam now, and they can't even mention it. It's a pity.

After measuring the size well, Shen Wanrong discussed the style with Tong Xuelu again.

After everything was confirmed, she talked about the expulsion of the two brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin from the school.

"The female teacher has been arrested, so Jiaming and the others should be able to go back to school, right?"

Tong Xuelu nodded: "Yes, but we have to wait."

Shen Wanrong glanced at her: "If you need any help, just tell me that my old Wei has many friends in Beijing who can help."

In fact, she didn't quite understand Tong Xuelu's words, but she could tell that Tong Xuelu was a very assertive child, if the other party didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't ask.

Tong Xuelu smiled and thanked again: "Thank you Grandma Shen, if there is a need, I will definitely not be polite to you."

Although there are disgusting people like Ma Mei and Tan Xiaoyan in the world, there are also lovely and kind people like the Wei family.

After chatting for a while, the sunset gradually dyed the sky red.

Tong Xuelu stood up and was about to say goodbye when suddenly there was a loud cry from the yard.

The crying sounds like Wei Zhuzhu's voice.

Both Tong Xuelu and Shen Wanrong were taken aback, especially Shen Wanrong, who rushed out as soon as she dropped something in her hand.

When I came to the yard, I saw Wei Zhuzhu crying with her head up from a distance. Grandpa Wei Zhiguo was coaxing her, but obviously the effect was not very good.

When Tong Xuelu followed up and saw Wei Zhuzhu's hair, he gasped, goosebumps all over his body.

I saw Wei Zhuzhu's hair was covered with blue caterpillars, so full of hair that she almost suffocated!

The strange thing is that such a limp person like Shen Wanrong is not afraid of caterpillars now!

While helping her granddaughter catch caterpillars, she scolded Wei Zhiguo: "How did you take care of the child? How did you let her get cocklebur into her hair?"

Wei Zhiguo looked innocent: "I just blinked and didn't look at her, and she stabbed cocklebur all over her head!"

Cocklebur?

Tong Xuelu was stunned, isn't that a caterpillar?

Now she noticed that the "caterpillar" on Wei Zhuzhu's head didn't move.

She walked in and took a look, only to find that it was not a caterpillar, but a kind of prickly cyan plant seed, the size of half a little tail finger, which looked very similar to a caterpillar from a distance.

Shen Wanrong carefully helped her granddaughter tear off the cocklebur, but no matter how careful she was, she still couldn't avoid pulling her hair, and Wei Zhuzhu burst into tears when it hurt.

Tong Jiaxin grinned: "Grandma Shen, Zhuzhu said she wanted to make a flower crown for herself, and she put cocklebur into her hair herself."

Tong Mianmian nodded her head, and said in a childish voice, "Sister Zhuzhu said this would be very beautiful!"

After she finished speaking, she saw Tong Xuelu walking over, her eyes lit up immediately, and she ran over with her short legs.

"elder sister!"

Tong Xuelu hugged Xiaotuanzi who rushed towards her, checked her hair, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she didn't see the cocklebur.

Wei Zhuzhu was pulled into screams, crying and howling: "It's so hard to be beautiful..."

She just wants to be more beautiful, why do you QAQ to her like this.

When everyone heard this and looked at the cockleburs on her head, they couldn't help laughing.

**

Fang Jingyuan returned to the compound of the general rear, and did not go home immediately, but went to Tong's house first.

Chen Yueling was startled when she saw her: "Jingyuan, it's you? Why did you get your hair like this?"

Fang Jingyuan touched her hair smugly: "I just cut it, sister-in-law Yueling, do you think I look so good-looking?"

Chen Yueling looked at her hair and face several times, and nodded repeatedly: "It looks good, it looks better than before, but I almost didn't recognize you!"

When Fang Jingyuan heard this, the smile on her face became even brighter: "Xuelu designed this for me, and I think it looks good too!"

"Snow Green? Have you gone to see Snow Green?"

Chen Yueling widened her eyes and said.

Fang Jingyuan nodded: "Aren't her two younger brothers expelled from school? My mother asked me to go over and ask her if she needs help."

When Chen Yueling heard this, her face suddenly became hot.

They were Tong Xuelu's closest relatives, but this time she had an accident, and none of their Tong family went to see her.

She and her husband wanted to go over to say hello, but the mother-in-law wouldn't let them go.

Fang Jingyuan didn't notice her expression, she handed over two packs of snacks and money and said: "Xuelu bought the snacks, and she gave the money, she said she borrowed it from you before, and I brought the things here, so I'm leaving. "

She was anxious to go back and show her beautiful hairstyle to her family.

"Jingyuan, wait, this is too much money!"

Chen Yueling took the money and counted it, and found that there was an extra 20 yuan. At the beginning, they only pooled 80 yuan for Tong Xuelu to take away.

"Then I don't care, you can return it to her later."

Fang Jingyuan ran away without looking back.

Holding the snacks and money, Chen Yueling felt more and more guilty.

Everyone in the Fang family was astonished when they saw Fang Jingyuan's hairstyle, just like Chen Yueling, but they also agreed that this hairstyle suits her very well.

Fang's mother knew that Tong Xuelu didn't ask her for help, but instead brought some snacks for the Fang family, and sighed: "I said before that Xuelu is a good child, if it hadn't happened, she might be our Fang family now." daughter-in-law!"

Fang Wenyuan, who was sitting on the sofa, pursed his lips when he heard this.

Fang Jingyuan curled her lips: "She is just like that, but compared to before, she is indeed a little bit better, at least her mouth is not so annoying."

"By the way, Xuelu asked me to help spread the word about her brother being bullied by that teacher. I have already promised her, and you will help spread the word together."

Seeing that she helped herself with such a beautiful hairstyle, she must publicize it well!

Fang's mother said: "That child is also a poor person. It is also necessary to help her publicize. I will tell everyone when I go to work tomorrow."

Although Fang's father is not a gossip person, he also feels that the teacher and the school did something wrong, so it is only right to help.

Only Fang Wenyuan did not express his opinion.

Fang Jingyuan didn't let him go: "Brother, remember to publicize when you go to work tomorrow!"

Fang Wenyuan let out a "huh", which is considered to be a response.

Fang Jingyuan was still not at ease, leaned over and whispered: "Brother, you don't have to worry about Xuelu pestering you like before. I asked her just now, and she said that she really treats you like shit!"

Fang Wenyuan: "..."

**

The next day, when Fang Jingyuan went to the art troupe, she once again became the focus of everyone's attention.

People from the art troupe chirped and asked her how she remembered this hairstyle and where she got it cut.

Fang Jingyuan pushed Tong Xuelu out.

Everyone couldn't help being surprised again: "Jingyuan, haven't you and Tong Xuelu always been at odds? Why are you so close all of a sudden?"

Fang Jingyuan curled her lips and said: "Who is incompatible with her anymore? Tong Xuelu used to have a very annoying mouth, so I couldn't help but hate her, but she has become better now, she is different from before, otherwise she would not Will help me design such a beautiful hairstyle!"

The original owner used to belong to the art troupe, but he was too self-willed and proud, and didn't get along well with the art troupe.

Now everyone was surprised and curious when they heard Fang Jingyuan's words.

"Jingyuan, she really designed your hairstyle for you? Then if I ask her to design it for me, will she not be willing?"

Fang Jingyuan: "I can intercede for you, but she is in trouble now, if you can help her, it will be much easier to ask her to design your hairstyle later!"

Everyone hurriedly asked: "What help?"

Fang Jingyuan told about Ma Mei's intention to embarrass Tong Xuelu's two younger brothers and encourage them to be expelled from the school.

Ma Mei has recently become a celebrity in Beijing. Even three-year-olds know her name, and of course the members of the art troupe also know her name.

After hearing Fang Jingyuan's words, they couldn't help being filled with righteous indignation.

"That woman is so shameless!"

"That's right, I helped with this job, even if Tong Xuelu doesn't design my hair, I will help!"

"Me too!"

Fang Jingyuan's admiration for Tong Xuelu reached its peak when she saw that everyone said they wanted to help.

Tong Xuelu taught her those words just now. She said that as long as she said what she said, everyone would be willing to help promote it.

At that time, she still didn't believe it, but she didn't expect to be hit by her words!

She felt that Tong Xuelu had really changed a lot, completely different from before.

After the rest of the Fang family went to work, they also helped spread the matter.

After Chen Yueling heard the news, she secretly told her husband that the two of them also helped to promote it together.

As a result, the rumors that Chengnan Primary School shielded Ma Mei and expelled students indiscriminately spread.

All mouths make gold!

The power of human words is sometimes greater than the power of live ammunition, killing people invisible.

The school's leaders soon got wind of it, and were so angry that they almost had a myocardial infarction.

Since Ma Mei was arrested, the school wanted to erase all traces of Ma Mei and draw a clear line with her.

Unexpectedly, such a rumor suddenly came out, saying that they were protecting Ma Mei, and it was their lives!

If the rumors spread to the top, if they don't get kicked out by then, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to get promoted in the future!

The principal hurriedly called an emergency meeting to discuss how to solve this problem.

After some intense discussions, they finally came up with a solution, which is to let the two brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin go back to school as soon as possible.

As long as they return to school to go to school, the rumors will naturally be broken.

So the principal sent the dean to Tong's house in person.

When the dean received this task, cold sweat broke out on his head.

Thinking of Tong Jiaming's sister, he intuitively felt that this mission would not be so easy to complete.

Sure enough, the first time he came to Tong's house, he had a hard time.

Tong Xuelu didn't have a trace of joy on his face when he said that he would let the two brothers Tong Jiaming go back to school.

Instead, he said calmly, "Thank you so much for coming, Director, but I have already decided to bring my two younger brothers back to my hometown to study."

The sweat on the dean's forehead came down again: "Comrade Tong, can the educational resources of your hometown compare with those in Beijing? Smart people won't go back!"

Tong Xuelu pursed her lips and sneered: "The educational resources in my hometown are indeed inferior to those in Beijing, but at least the school is fair and just, and will not beat students at every turn, let alone expel students at every turn!"

Dean:"……"

The teaching director came and left in a hurry.

When I went back to school and reported the situation to the principal, I was scolded bloody.

"You don't know how to use your brain. They are holding their breath now, and they definitely don't want to come back. You go and tell them that as long as they are willing to go back to school, the tuition and book fees of their two brothers will be free in the future, and the school will pay them. !"

With the principal's words, the dean came to Tong's house again.

He thought Tong Xuelu would definitely agree, but Tong Xuelu refused again.

He said all the good things, but she insisted on going back to her hometown.

He almost knelt down to her!

The teaching director remembered that Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times in order to ask Zhuge Liang to help him in ancient times, and he felt that he might not be able to get it done.

The dean returned home again, and was scolded bloody by the headmaster again when he returned.

Seeing that he was so useless, the principal didn't want him to go, and sent two female teachers to be lobbyists.

Facing the two female teachers, Tong Xuelu's attitude improved a lot, but she still refused to agree.

But their trip was not completely ineffective, at least Tong Xuelu was relieved.

She euphemistically suggested that Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin were too far to go to school, and it would be great if they had a bicycle.

The two female teachers brought this back to the principal, who was so angry that he slapped the table: "Shameless!"

It's really shameless to take the opportunity of the lion to open his mouth!

But if you are angry, you still have to arrange the bicycle for the other party, because the rumors outside are getting worse and worse.

Some people even said that he, the principal, might have had a relationship with Ma Mei, otherwise why would he let Ma Mei act like that?

When the principal heard those rumors, he was so angry that he almost spit out old blood.

In order to quell the rumors, the principal had to raise funds to buy a new Phoenix bicycle, and asked someone to send it to Tong's family as soon as possible.

After receiving the bicycle, Tong Xuelu declined a few times, and then accepted the bicycle.

And promised to let the two brothers Tong Jiaming go back to school on Monday the day after tomorrow.

As soon as the two female teachers left, Tong Jiaxin rushed over, circling the bicycle with eyes as bright as the stars in the night sky: "Sister, is this bicycle really ours?"

sister?

This is the first time Tong Jiaxin called her sister.

Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows calmly, nodded and said, "Well, I will ride to school with you and Jiaming from now on."

Tong Jiaming, who was standing aside, glanced at Tong Jiaxin, but said nothing.

Tong Jiaxin cheered and ran around the yard like a little madman: "Great! We have bicycles!"

Tong Mianmian didn't know what happened, but she was also happy to see her sisters and brothers happy.

She kicked her short legs and followed Tong Jiaxin, opened her two chubby little arms, and cried in a baby voice: "Great...we have a car!"

Tong Xuelu: "Don't be too happy, can you two ride a bicycle?"

Tong Jiaxin's cheers stopped abruptly: "I won't."

Tong Jiaming: "Me neither."

Tong Xuelu shrugged: "So, you won't be able to use this bicycle for a while."

But for the two brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin, it's not a problem, so just learn from it.

Bicycles are a luxury these days, and only a few can afford them.

The Tong family suddenly had a bicycle, and Tong Jiaxin regarded it as a treasure.

In order to protect the bicycle, Tong Jiaxin went to the Wei family next door to learn from it.

Wei Zhiguo couldn't help being amazed when he knew that the school actually gave them a bicycle in order to let the two brothers go back to school.

But in front of the child, he didn't say anything.

Just tell him that to keep the paint on the bike from scuffing, the handlebars and crossbars of the bike have to be tied with plastic straps.

After pouring out his experience, he also found a lot of plastic straps and gave them to Tong's family.

When Tong Jiaxin received the plastic strap, he was so happy that he grinned up to his ears. After thanking him, he went back holding the plastic strap, and then wrapped the bicycle together with Tong Jiaming.

When Tong Xuelu came out of the kitchen after making lunch and saw the colorful bicycles, she almost went blind.

This is too ugly, right?

But seeing that the two brothers were so happy, she didn't say anything to spoil the fun.

After lunch, the two brothers did not go for a lunch break, but practiced cycling in the alley.

At that time, the bicycle was heavy and big. Tong Jiaxin was only nine years old, and he was not tall, so he couldn't handle it at all.

But Tong Jiaming could barely control it.

Tong Jiaming is worthy of being a business genius in the future. He learns things very quickly. By sunset and dusk, he can already ride his bicycle crookedly.

**

After two days and two nights on the train, Wen Rugui and his party finally arrived in Beijing.

Zhong Shulan was eager to return home, since she got on the train, she hardly closed her eyes.

Thinking of seeing her husband soon, she didn't feel tired at all. After confirming that her father was in good health, the group hurried to the base again by car.

Jiao Boshan received a call two days ago and knew that they were coming back today, but he couldn't step out of the base without the organization's permission.

After waking up at three o'clock in the morning, he has been fidgeting, and his whole body is in a state of excitement.

Ten years, he and his wife and daughter have not seen each other for ten years!

The daughter was only ten years old when she left him. I don't know what she looks like now?

Everyone at the base knew that Director Jiao's wife and daughter were coming back, so they quickly helped arrange a new residence for them, bought a lot of delicious food, and asked people to drive to the station to wait for them.

At noon, Wen Rugui and his party finally arrived at the base in the anticipation of everyone.

Zhong Shulan was the first to rush out of the car without anyone's support.

Jiao Boshan was waiting at the gate of the base, and when he saw a haggard, skinny woman stepping out of the car, his eyes immediately became moist.

That is his wife.

It's just that he had never seen her like this before. Before being sent to the cowshed, she was more colorful than roses.

With her current appearance, it was like a knife piercing deeply into his heart, and it hurt so much.

He walked up quickly and held his wife's hand tightly: "Shu Lan, I finally see you!"

Seeing her husband's appearance, Zhong Shulan was also extremely sad.

Fifteen years ago, they returned from across the Atlantic to support the country, but ten years ago, they were forced to separate.

After ten years of life and death, when we meet again, my husband has changed from a high-spirited young man to a little old man with gray temples.

Her tears flowed down with a "swish".

The members of Jiao's family cried into tears, and the people at the base all wiped away their tears when they saw this sad scene.

After everyone's emotions stabilized, Jiao Boshan thought of Wen Rugui, a student.

"As home, thank you so much this time!"

He was supposed to go to pick up people in person, but he couldn't leave the base, and he couldn't rest assured that he would hand it over to others. At this moment, Wen Rugui volunteered to pick up people for him.

He already knew from his wife that they were delayed due to illness, if it wasn't for Wen Rugui's care and help, they might not come back so soon.

Wen Rugui: "The teacher is serious, this is what I should do."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Jiao Boshan realized that his voice was hoarse, and it was very difficult to speak, which was caused by being too tired.

Jiao Boshan blamed himself: "Hurry up and go back to rest. Don't rush back to the laboratory these two days. I will personally tell the dean about the leave."

Wen Rugui had been traveling back and forth for more than ten days, and was indeed very tired, so he nodded.

Then he turned and went back to the dormitory.

An Yuemei came out of the office, just in time to see Wen Rugui, and hurried to catch up: "Comrade Wen, when you left, a comrade named Pu called twice, and asked you to call him as soon as you came back. "

Wen Rugui paused for a moment, then turned to the telephone room to call Park Jianyi.

After hanging up the phone, he didn't go back to the dormitory, turned around and left the base.

In order to celebrate owning a bicycle, and also to celebrate the two brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin returning to school tomorrow, the Tong family made dumplings tonight.

The family gathered around the living room to make dumplings together, and even Tong Mianmian, a small dumpling, also participated.

Tong Xuelu's bag must be the best looking, there is no doubt about it.

Tong Jiaming didn't know how to wrap at first, but he has a strong learning ability. After a few observations, he quickly made a decent wrap.

Tong Jiaxin's handicap was completely beyond Tong Xuelu's expectations. She thought that as a fashion designer, he must have strong hands-on skills.

Unexpectedly, the dumplings he made were crooked and ugly, so ugly that they couldn't be seen!

"Third brother's dumplings are ugly!"

Tong Mianmian was small, but she couldn't stand it anymore.

Tong Jiaxin wiped a handful of flour on her face: "You still have the face to say that your dumplings are uglier than mine!"

Tong Mianmian felt aggrieved, she pouted and said, "Third brother, your dumplings are ugly!"

Tong Jiaxin made faces at her: "Your dumplings are even uglier, as ugly as you!"

The two siblings quarreled, and at the end Tong Mianmian got angry and said with a small mouth: "Third brother, I won't give you shit or pee when I grow up!"

"Pfft—"

Tong Xuelu couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard this.

Tong Jiaxin often told Tong Mianmian that he is taking care of her now, and that when he gets old, Tong Mianmian will take care of her back and feed him and feed him, and Tong Mianmian agreed.

It's just that they didn't expect that now that the two had quarreled, Xiaotuanzi didn't want to poop and pee.

Tong Xuelu laughed until tears came out, and Tong Jiaming on the side also curled the corners of her mouth.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.

The members of the Tong family were all stunned.

Tong Xuelu wiped her hands clean and said, "I'll go out and open the door, you guys continue making dumplings."

After speaking, she walked out with long legs.

When she came to the wooden door, she asked through the wooden door: "Who is it?"

There was silence outside the door, and then a hoarse voice came.

"It's me, Wen Rugui."
