Since the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came out, everyone has been discussing this matter.
At this time, in the conference room of the Ministry of Commerce, everyone's topic still revolves around the topic of the college entrance examination.
"I really didn't expect to see the country resume the college entrance examination in my lifetime!"
"It's not that I didn't react for ten minutes when I heard the news."
"By the way, how many people in your family are going to take the college entrance examination?"
"It's a lot. As long as you meet the conditions, you have to participate. I counted seven or eight people who have signed up so far."
At this moment, Tong Xuelv walked in.
Someone asked her, "Manager Tong, you shouldn't take the college entrance examination, right?"
"There's no need to ask. If Manager Tong wanted to participate, he would not have refused to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University."
Everyone's eyes in the conference hall fell on Tong Xuelu.
Tong Xuelu glanced at everyone, smiled and said, "No, I'm going to participate."
Everyone: "?!!"
"But didn't Manager Tong say to take care of the younger brothers and sisters at home? Don't you need to take care of them now? "
Another person said maliciously: "Manager Tong rejected the recommendation of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University three months ago. Could it be that he heard some rumors at that time?"
Tong Xuelu's eyes fell on the person who spoke at the end: "What are you trying to imply by saying this? Minister Lin proposed to me about the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University in June, and it was written in the newspaper that the Ministry of Education discussed the resumption of the college entrance examination in August. , People who are stupid should read more, read more newspapers and talk less!"
"Pfft, hahaha."
The crowd couldn't help but laugh.
The man's face was red with anger, but he didn't dare to refute.
Seeing that everyone's eyes fell on him, he turned around and left with a blushing face.
After all this time, no one dared to talk nonsense again.
I don't know if it was their illusion, but everyone present felt that Tong Xuelu's aura was getting stronger and stronger.
Only then did Tong Xuelu continue to explain: "I refused to take care of my younger siblings before, but now I am going to participate because my grandfather will be transferred back to Beijing."
Her grandfather's transfer order finally came down half a month ago, and he will be transferred to the commander of the Beijing Army next month.
But having said that, this time the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was announced ahead of time, and she did have a credit here.
In history, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was only announced in late October. At that time, the college entrance examination was just over a month away. Many people were caught off guard by the news.
Without books and review materials, many people are as anxious as ants on a hot pan. If they can get the news in advance, the situation will be very different.
When grandfather mentioned the resumption of the college entrance examination to her in August, she euphemistically said it, and when she turned back, grandpa used his power and contacts to operate, which prompted the news to be announced one month in advance.
Of course she wouldn't say such a thing.
When everyone heard that her grandfather was going to be transferred back to Beijing as a commander, their attitude towards her became more and more enthusiastic.
"But Manager Tong is going to take the college entrance examination. If he passes the exam, won't the position of hotel manager be suspended for four years?"
As soon as these words came out, the meeting room was quiet for a few seconds.
If Tong Xuelu is admitted to university, it means that someone can take her place for four years.
Dongfeng Hotel is a first-class hotel. If she can take her place, even if she can't be promoted in four years, her salary has actually increased in the past four years.
Therefore, the minds of many people present are alive at this time.
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "I discussed it with my family and decided to resign as manager."
The words caused a thousand waves, and the words shocked everyone present again.
"Manager Tong, are you kidding me? Although college students have jobs assigned by the state after graduation, who can guarantee that the assigned jobs will be better than the manager's position?"
"Yes, there is absolutely no need for Manager Tong to quit his job as a manager. When he comes back after graduation, his starting point is high. Why should he start from the grassroots level?"
Everyone thought that Tong Xuelu was stupid, why did he give up such a good position
Tong Xuelv shook his head: "I've already thought about it, I'll tell Minister Lin when I look back."
Ordinary people reserve their positions because they are afraid that there will be no way out, or they want to come back to continue working in this industry after graduation.
But she knows very well that state-run hotels have no future. State-run hotels will go downhill from next year, and eventually disappear under the impact of the free economy, becoming a product of the times.
Since she didn't plan to come back to the state-run hotel, why would she occupy the shit hole and not shit
It's better to give up your position at this time, and you can accumulate more goodwill and connections for yourself.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, everyone felt that she was stupid, and at the same time they wanted to occupy this position.
Soon the leaders came.
After the meeting, Tong Xuelu told Minister Lin about taking the college entrance examination and resigning as manager.
Minister Lin was also shocked after hearing her words: "Manager Tong, have you thought about it clearly?"
Tong Xuelu nodded: "Yes, I have thought about it clearly. I will send the letter of resignation later."
"Since Manager Tong has thought it through, I will not persuade him any more. The compensation for resignation will be given to you at that time."
Minister Lin did not retain or persuade him, because Tong Xuelv resigned, he could arrange for his own people to be the managers of Dongfeng Hotel.
Tong Xuelu nodded, turned and walked out of the office.
The position of the hotel manager is not like the waiter, which can be bought, sold or transferred to others, especially the position of the first-level hotel manager must be recommended by the Ministry of Commerce.
But she can be compensated for her resignation from this position.
Secretary Zhuo also sighed when he knew that Tong Xuelv was going to take the college entrance examination and resigned as manager.
**
After returning to the hotel, Tong Xuelv also told several people in the hotel about his decision, and the group were also shocked.
After the shock, everyone felt a little depressed.
Guo Chunyu: "I don't know who the Ministry of Commerce will arrange to be a manager. If it wasn't for my lack of education, I would definitely take the college entrance examination with you!"
In addition to Tong Xuelu going to take the college entrance examination, Meng Qingqing and Wu Lizhu also decided to take it, and Oda was still hesitating.
Master Lei nodded: "No, it's a pity that I'm a rude, and I'm most afraid of reading in my life."
Master Meng sat on the side without saying a word, but his heart was also up and down.
In the past, he couldn't get along with Liu Dongchang, and he finally met such a good manager as Tong Xuelu, and he didn't want her to quit suddenly.
If it turns out that it's hard to do, it's going to be a bad day.
Meng Qingqing and Wu Lizhu are very grateful to Tong Xuelu for encouraging them to study before.
Sure enough, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared!
Tong Xuelv submitted the resignation letter the next day, and within three days, the Ministry of Commerce had made arrangements.
The person who came to replace him was surnamed Mo. He used to work as a clerk in the Ministry of Commerce. I heard that he was the nephew of Minister Lin.
Tong Xuelv made a two-day handover with the other party, and after receiving the compensation, he officially retired from the Dongfeng Hotel.
When she left, Meng Qingqing and others pooled money to give her a gift. Although the gift was not a valuable thing, it still made Tong Xuelv feel very warm.
She gave everyone the snacks she made in advance, so that they could find herself later when they were free.
Tong Xuelv resigned as manager, and the happiest person was Xiao Mianmian.
She used to be put into Wei's house, but now Tong Xuelv doesn't have to go to work, she can follow her sister every day like a little tail.
In September, the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, and the osmanthus in the yard blooms one after another.
Tong Xuelu, taking advantage of her free time, planned to pluck the sweet-scented osmanthus to make sweet-scented osmanthus wine.
To make osmanthus wine, you must use freshly bloomed osmanthus. After careful selection, put the picked osmanthus in a cool and ventilated place to dry in the shade for a day, and then prepare a water-free and oil-free jar.
After putting the sweet-scented osmanthus in, pour in a bottle of white wine, a small amount of rock sugar and wolfberry, then seal it tightly and store it in a cool place.
After two or three months, the sweet-scented osmanthus wine will be ready to drink.
Tong Xuelu wanted to sterilize the moon cake before, but because everyone pleaded for it, the moon cake temporarily kept the eggs.
A few days ago, the Wei family contacted a family with dogs and planned to let moon cakes be bred to be dog fathers.
Today, she is going to bathe the moon cake after finishing her housework, intending to let it clean and become a groom dog.
Mooncake likes to take a bath very much. When she heard that Tong Xuelu wanted to give it a bath, her tail almost wagged into a propeller.
Xiao Mianmian came to help together, and kneaded the moon cake with two small paws.
The mooncake has grown bigger and bigger now, standing taller than the little dumpling. Although it has white hair all over it, it looks very fierce.
However, it was very gentle to the family. At this time, Xiao Mianmian did not snort when it hurt, and stood still obediently.
Tong Xuelu was about to get a basin of clean water to wash the moon cakes, but when she stood up, she saw a small bug crawling across Xiao Mianmian's hair quickly.
"Mianmian, don't move."
She said washing her hands and ripping through her hair to get the bugs out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the hair was peeled off, he saw a lot of white insect eggs inside, and a few insects quickly crawled over the scalp.
"!!!"
Tong Xuelu had goose bumps all over her body.
Xiao Mianmian's hair shouldn't be lice, right
She had heard that many people in this era had lice. After she returned to Tong's house, she paid great attention to the hygiene of the three siblings, so the three brothers and sisters never had that thing in the past year.
But she had never seen lice, and she was a little uncertain at this time.
Xiao Mianmian blinked her big eyes: "Sister, can Mianmian move? Mianmian's neck is sore."
The mooncakes on the side saw that they suddenly stopped and didn't bathe themselves. They turned their heads and looked at them with big eyes, full of curiosity like Xiao Mianmian.
Tong Xuelu felt an itchy scalp inexplicably: "you sit here and don't move, my sister went to the next door and asked Grandma Shen to come over."
Xiao Mianmian didn't know what was going on, but she responded obediently.
Tong Xuelv ran to Wei's house and told Shen Wanrong about it.
Shen Wanrong: "Mianmian didn't go out to play with other children, and you love cleanliness so much, how could she get lice?"
Tong Xuelu controlled her urge to scratch her scalp: "I don't know either. Grandma Shen can help me take a look."
Shen Wanrong agreed, and came to Tong's house with her to take a look at Xiao Mianmian's hair.
Damn, it's really lice!
Tong Xuelu's goose bumps on her arm rose again: "I shampooed her hair the day before yesterday and I haven't found it yet. Why did I suddenly get lice?"
Shen Wanrong said, "I suspect that she was infected by Zhuzhu."
The two little sisters Xiao Mianmian and Wei Zhuzhu have a very good relationship. Wei Zhuzhu started going to school this month, but it does not affect the relationship between the two little sisters.
As soon as she came back from school, she would come to play with Xiao Mianmian, and the two little sisters would eat and sleep together. Wei Zhuzhu was the most likely to infect her with lice.
Tong Xuelu: "Grandma Shen, show me quickly. My scalp is itchy all of a sudden. I suspect that I am also infected."
"Then squat down and I'll show you."
Tong Xuelv squatted down when she heard the words.
Shen Wanrong peeled off her hair and checked it twice: "No, it should be that Zhuzhu was dyed by her classmates at school in the past two days, and then dyed to Mianmian when she came back. Fortunately, I found it early, otherwise several children could not avoid it. open."
Tong Xuelv breathed a sigh of relief, but the relationship implied in her heart still made her scalp very strict.
Xiao Mianmian didn't know what happened, and blinked her big black grape-like eyes: "Sister, what's wrong with Mianmian's head? Is there a bug?"
Tong Xuelu nodded: "you have lice on your head, my sister has to find a way to catch the lice out for you."
Shen Wanrong said: "You wash her hair first, I'll go home and bring the grates and white vinegar over."
Tong Xuelu nodded in agreement, first went to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water, then came back to rinse the moon cakes and let them dry their hair in the yard.
As soon as Mooncake finished taking a bath, she ran around the yard like a madman, and fluttered her hair from time to time.
Shen Wanrong brought something over, and then helped Xiao Mianmian wash her hair with Yanhong White Vinegar.
After washing, cover your hair tightly with a towel for ten minutes, then wash it off.
Tong Xuelu: "Grandma Shen, is this white vinegar really useful for lice?"
Shen Wanrong: "It's useful for lice, but lice eggs may not be useful, so I'll have to use a grate to get her eggs out later."
She can let Tong Xuelu cook food, but she really feels terrible about things like lice.
The first time Shen Wanrong saw her look scared, she couldn't help but think it was funny: "If you're scared, just stand by and I'll help Mianmian."
After grate three or four times, three or four lice and a small amount of unwashed lice eggs came out. Tong Xuelu's scalp started to itch again.
"Grandma Shen, is this all right?"
Shen Wanrong: "I have to wash my hair with white vinegar for the next three or four days, and I have to use a grate a few times a day."
Good guy, Tong Xuelu decided in her heart to start sleeping in separate beds with Xiao Mianmian tonight.
When Wei Zhuzhu came back from school in the afternoon, Shen Wanrong pulled her hair out for a check, and she was recruited together.
Tong Xuelv also checked the brothers Xiao Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin, but fortunately the two brothers were not caught.
At night, Xiao Mianmian was stunned when she saw her little quilt and little pillow being placed on the little bed.
Tong Xuelu felt guilty for a while at the sight of her big watery eyes, but she told her truthfully: "Mianmian, you have lice in your hair. If my sister sleeps with you, the lice will most likely be transmitted to my sister. , so you have to sleep alone these days, can you do it?"
Xiao Mianmian pursed her red lips, nodded and said in a milky voice, "Mianmian can."
Tong Xuelu subconsciously raised her hand to rub her hair, and only regained her senses in mid-air. Instead, she pinched her little face: "Mianmian is so good, tomorrow sister will make you a sweet-scented osmanthus cake."
When Xiao Mianmian heard that there was food, the "injured" little heart felt a little better.
A few days later, the lice on Xiao Mianmian and Wei Zhuzhu's heads were completely cured.
When the moon cakes came back happily from the countryside, it was also Tong Xuelu's birthday.
**
September 27th is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival is Tong Xuelu's birthday.
Because the barbecue during the New Year was very successful, Tong Xuelu thought about it and decided to have a barbecue this birthday.
Barbecue is simple and convenient, and everyone gathers to barbecue and talk to appreciate the moon, the atmosphere is very good.
On the birthday, except for Commander Xiao in the northwest and Pu Jianyi, who was on a business trip, everyone else came.
Wen Rugui originally wanted to come back one day earlier, but was unable to ask for leave.
But on Tong Xuelu's birthday, he came early.
I remember that at this time last year, they hadn't confirmed their relationship yet, but I didn't expect it to be a year.
Wen Rugui gave her a military coat last year, and a pair of ladies leather shoes this year.
The style of leather shoes is completely incomparable with the later ones. Although the quality is quite good and the materials are real, the style is really ugly.
But this is the most fashionable style in this era.
Seeing the leather shoes, Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "Haven't you heard that you can't send shoes between partners?"
Wen Rugui asked in puzzlement, "Why can't I send shoes?"
Tong Xuelu blinked: "I heard that you can't send umbrellas between partners, because if you give them two people, they will break up, and you can't give shoes between partners, because if you send them, they will run with others wearing shoes."
"!!!"
Wen Rugui's face turned green instantly: "I've never heard of this before, or else give me your shoes, and I'll go back and give you another gift."
After he finished speaking, his inky eyes stared at the shoes in her hands, as if she nodded, he would immediately grab the shoes and destroy them on the spot.
Tong Xuelu looked at his shoes with a hatred of hatred, and almost didn't laugh: "It's all delivered, it's okay."
"It's related, I don't want to... You ran away with someone else."
His ears turned red when he said that.
Tong Xuelv took out a dime from his pocket and handed it over: "If you take it, just think I bought it from you, and it will be cracked."
Wen Rugui asked suspiciously, "Is this really going to resolve it?"
He studies physics and science, and never believes in ghosts and gods, but when it comes to Tong Xuelu, he would rather believe it.
Tong Xuelu nodded, leaned over and kissed him on the face: "Thank you for the gift, I like it very much."
Not surprisingly, Wen Rugui's face turned red all of a sudden.
Although the two have been together for more than half a year and have kissed many times, Wen Rugui is still so shy.
Tong Xuelv likes to see his blushing look very much. Every time she sees him like this, all kinds of evil thoughts will flood into her heart.
For example, at this time, he wanted to press him under his body and bully him.
Tsk tsk, she really has the soul of a female hooligan living in her heart.
Others came one after another, and they carried all kinds of meat in their hands, just like the New Year.
Unlike the Chinese New Year, this time there was another Xiao Chengping.
Since Xiao Chengping was transferred back to Beijing, he often came to their parties uninvited.
As for how he knew it, it was naturally through Fang Jingyuan.
The two were quarreling at this time.
Fang Jingyuan blushed with anger: "Mungdouyan, you are shameless, every time you follow me at the gate, if you do this again, I will go to your troops and tell your leader!"
Xiao Chengping scratched his head: "Who said I followed you? Lu is not yours. Besides, Xuelu didn't say I couldn't come here, so why are you so angry?"
Fang Jingyuan didn't expect him to be so thick-skinned: "She is too kind and embarrassed to drive you out. If you didn't come with me every time, how would you know there was a party? You leave me now!"
Saying that, she stretched out her hand and was about to push Xiao Chengping out.
Xiao Chengping naturally didn't want to leave, but Fang Jingyuan was a lesbian, so he couldn't push back directly, so he kept dodging.
Fang Jingyuan suddenly pushed an empty space and threw herself on the ground.
"Ah, mung bean eyes, save me!"
Xiao Chengping didn't know whether to laugh or cry, even at this time, he still called him Mungdouyan.
However, he couldn't help him, he reached out and grabbed Fang Jingyuan's arm and pulled her towards him.
Fang Jingyuan was pulled hard by him, and she rushed towards him and slammed into his chest.
Fang Jingyuan gasped in pain and pushed him away, "What is your chest made of, why is it so hard?"
"A man's chest must be hard."
Xiao Chengping's dark skin suddenly turned red, but he couldn't see it because the color was too dark:
In fact, he felt the same emotion and shock as Fang Jingyuan.
He never knew that a woman's chest could be so soft.
When she bumped into him just now, he seemed to have been electrocuted by an electric current, and his whole body trembled.
I don't know if there is a ghost in his heart, he subconsciously dare not look at her.
Fang Jingyuan snorted, glared at him and said, "Every time I see you, nothing good happens, you stay away from me."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran to find Tong Xuelv.
Xiao Chengping looked at her back, stretched out his hand to cover his chest, and the position of his chest was beating wildly at this time.
This is the first time I have felt this way.
Thinking of the scene where the two collided just now, his throat subconsciously rolled a few times, and then he felt very thirsty.
He strode into the living room and poured a large glass of cold boiled water, which suppressed the restlessness in his heart a little.
Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw Fang Jingyuan standing by the window, talking to Xiao Mianmian at the moment.
She pouted for a while, then shook her head.
He suddenly felt that Fang Jingyuan's way of talking was cute, and he wanted to pinch her round face.
What the hell.
**
In addition to preparing barbecue and seasoning sauce, Tong Xuelu also made some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus sour plum soup.
But at the moment, instead of entertaining everyone outside, she coaxed Wen Ru at home in the room.
Because Wen Rugui was jealous.
Tong Jiaxin ran home from outside just now, holding a package he brought back from the postman.
The package was not sent by someone else, but by Xie Guangkun, who had been back in the United States for more than half a year.
In the package, in addition to the painting book for Tong Jiaxin, there is also a birthday present for her.
Wen Rugui just happened to see this package, and then the big cute sulked and ate a big bucket of vinegar.
Tong Xuelv saw that everyone was in the yard, closed the door gently, then leaned over and poked his chest with his hand.
"You told me to be honest. When we were in Yangzhou last time, did you take a cold shower on purpose when you caught a cold that day?"
"!!!"
Wen Rugui's heart "squeaked", and her ears turned red all of a sudden: "Have you found it?"
Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows: "So I really guessed it?"
Wen Rugui blushed and nodded, her eyes not daring to meet her: "I... I don't want you to go out and take pictures with Comrade Xie."
At that time, he really didn't want to see her and Xie Guangkun together, and he couldn't do anything despicable, so he had to make himself sick.
Tong Xuelu was a little suspicious when he was in Yangzhou before, but he didn't ask him when other people were there.
After she came back, she was busy and forgot about it. She didn't want him to be so excited when he saw Xie Guangkun's package. She then remembered what happened in Yangzhou.
Tong Xuelu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Actually, you don't have to worry. I take Comrade Xie as a friend, and I have only you in my heart."
It was as if fireworks were blooming in Wen Rugui's heart, and for the first time, she clearly felt the meaning of ecstasy.
His ink-like eyes looked at her, his eyes filled with tenderness: "I have only you in my heart."
It's been that way since the beginning.
In the future, it will be the same.
After he finished speaking, he gently cupped her face, and then kissed her rosy lips.
At first, he kissed very tenderly, and gradually turned into a domineering President Wen.
Soft and strong.
After two minutes.
Tong Xuelu's voice was a little unsteady: "If you let me go, you... branded me."
Wen Rugui's body froze, and her heart almost stopped beating.
Tong Xuelv looked at his blood-red face, restrained his smile and said, "I said I like you to be wild, but you are too wild."
"… "
