The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s

Chapter 109: One hundred and nine cups of green tea

Views:

Wen Rugui felt as if she had been electrocuted by an electric current, and suddenly released her hand from her waist: "Yes, I'm sorry."

Tong Xuelu swept her eyes down, and whistled in her heart.

Well, bulging.

Very capital.

Wen Rugui met her misty apricot eyes, her whole body seemed to be electrocuted by electric current.

Suddenly bursts of numbness.

He turned his body slightly to cover it up, but when he looked from the side, he looked more and more...

Tong Xuelu's heart is old, and she looks shy on the surface: "Will it be uncomfortable for you to look like this?"

Wen Rugui blushed and shook his head: "No."

He lied, in fact, he was so uncomfortable that he was about to explode, but he didn't dare to say such a hooligan in front of her, for fear of scaring her.

Tong Xuelu gave a "tsk" in her heart, covered her face and said, "It's fine if it's not uncomfortable, then I'll go out first."

"Um."

Wen Rugui watched her turn around and ran out of the room, and let out a big breath.

If he doesn't go out, he will be embarrassed.

He quickly opened the window, and the autumn wind blew, which gradually cooled the mania in his body.

Ten minutes later, he came out of the room and almost hit the old man with his head.

Mr. Wen glanced at his red and swollen lips, coughed and said, "I have to wait for the guests to leave if I can't bear it anymore. What do you look like now?"

Wen Rugui: "… "

Seeing that he was silent, Mr. Wen continued to criticize: "You are such a hooligan, and it is because Xuelv is too simple to bear you. If it were someone else, he would have broken up with you!"

Wen · hooligan · like home: "... "

Mr. Wen taught him a lesson, and then he left with satisfaction.

If he knew that the real hooligan was Tong Xuelu, what kind of expression would he have?

The barbecue in the yard has already been done. With the experience from the last time, everyone will do it automatically this time without Tong Xuelu.

The children were eating sweet-scented osmanthus cakes while waiting for the barbecue, while the adults were discussing the college entrance examination while roasting the meat.

Among them, Wei Ran and Fang Jingyuan are both confused.

Wei Ran studied at the Peking University Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University for a year and a half, and now the college entrance examination has suddenly resumed. Starting this year, workers, peasants and soldiers have stopped enrolling students.

His grandfather asked him to drop out of school and retake the college entrance examination, but none of the classmates in the class and the brothers and sisters from other fields dropped out, so he hesitated.

Wei Guozhi said: "What's there to hesitate? You have been a worker, peasant and soldier for more than a year, and you haven't learned anything. Now that the country has stopped recruiting students, the status of the worker, peasant and soldier will only become embarrassing day by day."

Wei Ran still couldn't make up his mind: "But it's too late for me to review now."

Wei Guozhi: "I remember your birthday last year. Didn't Xuelu send you a booklet on mathematics, physics and chemistry? Didn't you read it?"

Wei Ran blushed and shook his head: "I don't have time to watch."

Although they have nothing to learn in school, they are not idle. In addition to political education every day, they have to go to factories for internships, and sometimes they have to go to the countryside to learn how to cultivate the land.

Wei Guozhi hated Tie Bucheng and glanced at him: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, go back to school and tell the teacher, and come back and study hard after you drop out."

Wei Ran scratched his head: "What if I don't pass the test?"

He basically forgot the knowledge of junior high and high school. He was only two months away from the college entrance examination. He was afraid that he would not be able to pass the test.

Wei Guozhi: "If you can't pass the test, then continue the test next year. Anyway, you're not very old. My grandmother and I will not force you to marry a wife so quickly."

Hearing the marriage, Wei Ran's face turned even redder.

Wei Zhuzhu ran over and was startled when she saw her brother's face: "Brother, your face is as red as a braised pig's head, you look so scary."

"… "

Wei Ran gave her a fierce look, and Wei Zhuzhu screamed in fright and ran away.

Tong Xuelv sat down and picked up the barbecue and said, "I think Grandpa Wei is right. If you can't pass the test this time, then continue to prepare."

Jiang is still old and hot. Students who graduated from workers, peasants and soldiers were later restricted in their jobs and their status was very embarrassing, but because they had graduated, they could not retake the college entrance examination.

If Wei Ran wants to take the college entrance examination, it is best to drop out now. In another year or two, it will be impossible for him to start all over again.

Seeing what everyone said, Wei Ran thought about it and made up his mind, "Okay, then I'll go back to the school and go through the withdrawal procedures."

As soon as Wei Ran finished speaking, Fang Jingyuan frowned and said, "Xuelu, do you want me to take the college entrance examination?"

Her current job is in the art troupe, where she usually sings or dances.

This is a youth meal. If you can't rise in the future, you will be assigned to some useless positions when you get older.

But let her take the college entrance examination, she has no confidence, after all, she has graduated for several years and her grades are not good.

Tong Xuelu said, "Do you have any majors you want to apply for?"

A shy look flashed across Fang Jingyuan's face: "I grew up thinking that making movies is fun."

Xiao Chengping suddenly interjected: "Do you want to be an actor?"

Students at the drama school were generally good-looking, and he suspected that she just wanted to see good-looking gay men.

"I want you to care?" Fang Jingyuan glared at him and said to Tong Xuelu, "I want to be a director."

Oh, I didn't expect the big head girl to have such a dream.

Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "If you're afraid you won't pass the exam, then don't quit your job in the art troupe, anyway, you won't lose out if you try."

Do not dismiss the work of the art troupe, and she can retreat after attacking, so that she will not be under so much pressure.

Fang Jingyuan thought for a while and nodded: "You're right, it's a bit embarrassing to fail the test, but I have nothing to lose."

When Wei Ran on the side heard this, he suddenly felt more pressure on his shoulders.

He belongs to someone who has no way out once he drops out of school, the complete opposite of Fang Jingyuan.

Among the people who came to attend Tong Xuelu's birthday party today, in addition to Tong Xuelu, Wei Ran and Fang Jingyuan who decided to take the college entrance examination, there was also Jiang Danhong.

Jiang Danhong is the oldest among them, but everyone supports her decision.

In fact, Jiang Danhong's situation is not surprising at all in this era. This year's college entrance examination does not limit the age or marital status. Therefore, many old educated youths have signed up for the college entrance examination.

Wen Rugui came over and sat down beside Tong Xuelv, and logically brought the barbecue in her hand to bake: "You go and rest, I'll bake."

Tong Xuelu looked at him and smiled, stood up and went into the room to take out two booklets of mathematics, physics and chemistry for Fang Jingyuan and Jiang Danhong.

Jiang Danhong touched the booklet with a cherished and moved face: "Thank you Xuelu, this gift is too precious!"

Fang Jingyuan jumped up and hugged her even more excitedly: "I was worried about whether I could buy review materials, now it's alright, thank you."

Since the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination has spread, it has been difficult to find a copy of the test materials, and those who have middle and high school textbooks at home have also become a favorite.

Xiao Chengping glanced at Fang Jingyuan who was elated, and became more and more irritable.

Hearing just now that Fang Jingyuan was going to take the college entrance examination, he actually asked his uncle to help him get a set of review materials.

He is really sick, what does it have to do with him whether his brain can be admitted to university?

The night wind was blowing, and the yard was filled with the smell of barbecue.

Everyone talked about the future while eating barbecue, which was pleasant and beautiful.

The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, where the full moon people reunited. Tong Xuelv made moon cakes for everyone as last year.

Then take Xiao Jiaming's three siblings to Wen's house for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Tong Xuelv and Uncle Zong were busy in the kitchen and cooked a table of good dishes for everyone.

Because Wen Rugui likes to eat fish, she specially made a steamed fish for him today.

She poured the prepared soy sauce on the fish, sprinkled onion and ginger, and then poured hot oil over the steamed fish.

Just listening to the sound of "Zi", a fascinating fragrance floated up and filled the entire kitchen.

After the oil was poured down, the fish flesh exuded a layer of light and looked incredibly tender.

The fragrance wafted out of the window and was smelled by several other households in the yard. Qi Qi swallowed subconsciously and stared straight into the Wen family's house.

Someone couldn't help but ask: "Commander Wen, what are you doing at home, why is it so fragrant?"

"Yeah, my saliva almost came out. Usually, Uncle Zong's cooking doesn't seem to be so delicious?"

Mr. Wen looked proud: "Xiao Zong's cooking can only be regarded as ordinary. Today, the person who feels like home comes to the house to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together. She is cooking."

"Ouch, is it the former manager of Dongfeng Hotel?"

Mr. Wen became more and more proud, and said with a straight chest, "yes, she also got the certificate of a first-class chef. It's not me who praised her. That child is so smart and capable. Ordinary people can't compare to her at all."

Everyone: "… "

If that's not bragging, what is bragging?

"By the way, why did she quit doing it? Since she left, the food at Dongfeng Hotel doesn't seem to be that delicious."

"I also think that I used to go there at least once or twice a month, but now it's all those kinds of dishes, which makes me feel boring."

Old Man Wen: "She's going to take the college entrance examination. It's not what I said. With her smartness, she will definitely be admitted to Qing University and Beijing University!"

Everyone: "… "

Why didn't you realize that Mr. Wen was so immodest before?

Is it so easy to be admitted to Qing University and Beijing University?

Tong Xuelu may cook deliciously, but I heard that she just graduated from junior high school and wants to be admitted to Beijing University. This is a bit of a bragging.

But in front of Mr. Wen, everyone was too embarrassed to say it directly, and went back after haha.

Mr. Wen didn't care what they thought, turned around and went back to eat.

In addition to steamed fish, Tong Xuelu also made steamed pork ribs with taro, fried buns with plain stuffing, and chicken soup with corn radish.

The steamed fish is soft, tender and fragrant. It is a delicacy on the tip of the tongue. The ribs are mixed with the taste of taro, which is delicious and chewy.

Taking a bite of the plain stuffed water-fried bun, all kinds of fillings filled the whole mouth immediately, the soup was diffused, fragrant and crisp, and it was not worse than the taste of mountains and seas.

Everyone was satisfied with this meal, and their stomachs were all rounded.

After Mr. Wen finished eating, he took the snacks to show off to the old Jiang next door, making the old Jiang envy the tears from the corners of his mouth.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Tong family's backyard was a little heavy.

Tong Xuelu didn't come to give gifts last year because of the rain, but the next day someone still sent moon cakes.

It didn't rain in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. They thought she should come over, but they didn't want to wait a day and didn't even see a person.

Cai Chunlan curled her lips and said, "it seems that someone has made up their minds not to communicate with our Tong family."

Second brother Tong glanced at her and whispered, "don't say a few words, no one will treat you as dumb!"

Cai Chunlan was very upset, but when she raised her eyes and saw her mother-in-law's face stinking like a stinky ditch, she suddenly felt a little inexplicable.

At this moment, Mother Tong seemed to have a big stone stuck in her chest, which made it very difficult for her to breathe.

She thought that if Tong Xuelu came over this Mid-Autumn Festival, she would go downhill and forgive her, and then reconnect the relationship between the two families.

Tong Xuelu's own grandfather is the commander. I heard that she will be transferred back to Beijing next month. If she asks the other party to help out, her two sons should be able to rise by one liter.

Unexpectedly, she didn't come, and there was no sign of the festive ceremony.

It is indeed a white-eyed wolf!

Cai Chunlan is someone who can't keep her mouth shut, she was quiet for a minute and then resumed: "By the way, I heard that Tong Xuelv resigned as the hotel manager and is going to take the college entrance examination."

"I remember that when she was studying, she failed every time in her grades. She almost didn't graduate back then. She dared to take the college entrance examination with her grades. What a joke!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the news.

Chen Yueling: "She really resigned as the hotel manager?"

Cai Chunlan nodded with a smile, and said sarcastically, "No, there are many people taking the college entrance examination, but there are not many people who resign like her stupidly. If you can't pass the test, it will be a real shame!"

Brother Tong frowned and said, "she's so impulsive."

Others thought so too. They all felt that Tong Xuelv would definitely not be able to go to university.

Going back not only loses face, but also loses your job. This is not just impulsive, it is completely stupid!

When Mother Tong heard the news, the big stone stuck in her chest fell down at once, and she immediately ate two more bowls of rice.

**

The first session of the college entrance examination resumed, because there were few restrictions, and although the registration fee was a bit expensive at 50 cents, as long as there was a junior high school graduate level or above, basically all took the college entrance examination.

Tong Xuelu initially wanted to apply for the economics and management major. After considering it, she applied for the English major.

Of course, after graduation, she did not want to engage in English-related industries, she will continue to do food-related work.

In addition to running her own factories and restaurants, she plans to spread Chinese cuisine to the world.

Huaxia's food culture condenses five thousand years of civilization and wisdom, and the food of "color, fragrance, taste, and utensils" is enough to conquer everyone.

To spread the food, it is very necessary to master a language of English.

Although she also learned English before transmigrating, she was not a professional, so she planned to study English again.

On this day, she and Fang Jingyuan went to the Education Bureau to get the admit card.

I saw her admission ticket read:

1977 College Admissions Admission Ticket

Test area: Beijing

Category: Reasoning

Name: Tong Xuelu

(Additional test subject: English)

Number: 254250

Printed by the Office of the Admissions Committee of Colleges and Universities in Beijing

When Tong Xuelu saw her number, the corner of her mouth twitched fiercely.

Do you want to be so damaged, 54250, I am two hundred and five.

Depend on!

Fang Jingyuan leaned over to look at her admission ticket, looking envious: "Why are the photos you took so beautiful?"

Tong Xuelu said boldly, "No way, she is naturally beautiful."

Fang Jingyuan: "…"

When she passed the Xinhua Bookstore on the way back, she saw a long queue outside.

The library was also full of people. At first glance, it was full of people. Even the window sill was full of people. Some people who arrived late did not occupy a seat and could only sit on the floor.

In the past ten years, the literati have been hit hard, and at that time even promoted "the theory that reading is useless", but now that absurd era has passed.

The resumption of the college entrance examination this time has injected the most powerful booster into the cultural people of the country. They are ecstatic and their eyes are full of curiosity.

Every time I see this scene, Tong Xuelu's mood is surging.

After separating from Fang Jingyuan, she did not go home directly, but went to the printing factory.

The guard of the printing factory saw her and said with a smile, "Comrade Tong, are you here?"

Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "I made an appointment with the factory manager. Is he inside?"

The doorman laughed so much that the folds on both corners came out: "I'm here, come in quickly."

It wasn't the first time that Tong Xuelu came here. He didn't need anyone to take him, so he went directly to the factory director's office.

Seeing her coming, Director Zhou stood up and said with a smile, "Comrade Tong, you are finally here, please take a seat."

Tong Xuelv sat down on the sofa.

Director Zhou asked someone to pour a cup of tea over, and then took out the candy and melon seeds prepared in the morning: "Comrade Tong, please use it."

Tong Xuelu smiled and thanked him.

Director Zhou didn't beat around the bush, and took out two envelopes directly from the drawer: "This is the money for the last physical and chemical booklet, and the other is a thank-you gift from the printing factory to Comrade Tong."

The country suddenly announced the resumption of the college entrance examination, and many people could not find books, review materials, or buy them with money.

Their printing factory was also in a hurry, and they set down indicators and asked them to print materials quickly.

What information was printed but did not say, everything was too sudden, and no one answered the question.

At this time, the Wen family contacted them, saying that they had about 950 booklets in their hands, and that the booklets in their hands could be used as review materials.

After getting the booklet, they hurriedly went to the Education Bureau to confirm that this material can indeed be used as a review material, and they were immediately ecstatic.

Because they got the review materials earlier than other printing houses, their printed booklets were quickly sent to bookstores and reading libraries across the country.

Now their printing factory has become famous all over the country and has become a weather vane in the printing industry.

All thanks to the Wen family.

Director Zhou and the Wen family are relatives around the corner, but because they are not very close, they usually don't move around very much.

This time, they got so many brochures through the Wen family, and their factory naturally wanted to express their gratitude.

Director Zhou didn't know that these pamphlets belonged to Tong Xuelu, he just thought that the Wen family sent her to deal with this matter, so he didn't mention the Wen family at this moment.

These things are done in private and cannot be made public.

Tong Xuelu didn't have any money, so she picked up the envelope and put it in the military bag: "Thank you, Director Zhou, I know that Director Zhou is a cautious person, but I still want to remind you that when I go out this door, we will not acknoledged."

Director Zhou nodded again and again: "Understood, Comrade Tong came here twice just to inquire about printing matters."

Tong Xuelu nodded in satisfaction, turned and walked out of Director Zhou's office.

She got a thousand booklets of mathematics, physics and chemistry from Mother Xiao. At first, she wanted to sell them herself, but her current status is different from before.

Now she is the granddaughter of the commander, and the background of her fiance's family is different. If she sells it privately, the risk is too great.

So she told Wen Rugui about the booklet, and Wen Rugui found contacts here and contacted Director Zhou.

She privately sold the booklet to Director Zhou at a fair price, and disposed of the booklet in this way.

Because of the Wen family's backing, she believed that Director Zhou would not be so stupid to stab this matter out.

What's more, after stabbing it out, he will definitely be punished himself.

After returning home, Tong Xuelv took out the two envelopes and opened them.

I got a total of five hundred and eighty yuan from selling the booklet, and the thank you fee was two hundred.

It adds up to almost 800 yuan, which is her private money.

Earned earned.

From this day on, Tong Xuelv stopped going out and focused on studying for the college entrance examination at home.

Sometimes Wei Ran, Fang Jingyuan, and Jiang Danhong would come over to discuss topics with her.

Time flies to November.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the pre-exam will be on the 27th.

The pre-examination only took Chinese and mathematics, and Tong Xuelu passed the test with ease.

Only a small number of people passed the pre-exam, and most of them passed the test.

On the 9th of December, it was snowing heavily, and the weather was so cold that people's teeth were shaking.

Tong Xuelv sat behind Wen Rugui's bicycle and came to the examination room to take the college entrance examination.

There were already many people outside the examination room at this time. The examinees' eyes were bright like stars in the sky, but their bodies were shaking like a sieve.

Wen Rugui saw that her face was frozen red, and said warmly: "You stand here, I will block the wind for you."

Tong Xuelu looked up and smiled at him: "I'm so thickly dressed, and there is a hot water bottle in my clothes, so it's not cold at all."

For this college entrance examination, the whole family was dispatched.

Because the exam was in December, Wen Rugui bought her a hot water bottle through various contacts and connections, and went to the department store to buy her gloves.

At this time, she was wearing a military coat, a military cap on her head, wool gloves on her hands, a scarf around her neck, and a hot water bottle in her arms.

She's really not cold at all.

To be hateful, she still feels a little hot right now.

Seeing that she was so well equipped, everyone cast an envious look.

Looking at Wen Rugui standing beside her, Wen Rugui is young and handsome, and has a bicycle. I can see all the girls eat a mouthful of sour lemons.

The guard came out and picked up the gong and knocked a few times: "Enter the examination room, the candidates have entered the examination room."

Tong Xuelu stuffed the hot water bottle into Wen Rugui's arms, raised her head and smiled, "I'm in."

Wen Rugui handed her the cardboard in his hand: "Okay, I'll wait for you outside."

When everyone saw that Tong Xuelu had cardboard in her hand, they didn't know what she was using at first, but after entering the examination room, they couldn't help but envy again.

Some desks are pitted, and if there is no padding on it, if you don't pay attention to writing, it is easy to puncture the test paper.

Because Tong Xuelu was well prepared, she didn't have to worry at all during the exam.

The exam lasted three days.

Because Tong Xuelu applied for the English major, she took one more English test than other candidates.

After the exam, the exam room screamed, and many people said that they would definitely fail the exam.

There are additional questions for Chinese and mathematics, but few people can do it.

Tong Xuelu did everything.

Those exam questions are difficult for candidates of this era, but very easy for Tong Xuelv, who has come through books.

For example, the additional problem of mathematics is actually a very simple calculus, but many people say that they can't understand it.

After the exam, the teachers immediately threw themselves into the intense grading.

On January 25th, the results finally came out in the expectation of everyone.

With a total score of 500, Tong Xuelu scored 494 points and 100 points in English.

The results ranked first among the candidates in Beijing.

The Tong family in the backyard of the headquarter was stunned after knowing the news.
