Seeing Tong Jiaxin's unjust look on Dou E's face, Tong Xuelu almost couldn't help laughing.
I didn't expect my grandfather to have such a cheeky side.
The weather was too hot, so she made some food for everyone to cool off, made mung bean cake with mung beans, and cooked winter melon and barley ribs soup.
Winter melons are grown in the yard by themselves. They are growing very well, and there are too many to eat.
In addition to making soup, it can also be made into wax gourd strips. Washed and sun-dried wax gourd rinds can also be made into traditional Chinese medicine to make tea, which has the effect of relieving summer heat and diuresis.
Tong Xuelu didn't like to eat winter melon strips, and thought it was too sweet, but for children of this age, they all like anything sweet.
Recently, Xiao Mianmian started to change her teeth, and she lost another front tooth yesterday. Tong Jiaxin, an unreliable brother, always made fun of her, and the little dumpling was very sad.
But when she saw something to eat, she immediately grinned and showed a toothless smile, which was really cute and funny.
Several brothers and sisters have kept up with the nutrition, and they are taller than the average child, with fair skin, perfectly crushing children of the same age.
Commander Xiao likes to show off his grandchildren when he goes out.
After a few old men finished playing cards, Tong Xuelv brought the boiled winter melon and barley pork ribs soup to the living room for everyone to drink.
The winter melon and barley pork ribs soup is fresh and refreshing, just suitable for hot weather like summer. Everyone drank two bowls before they stopped talking.
Tong Xuelu told the matter of rejecting the department head's suggestion to recommend her to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
After hearing this, Wei Guozhi couldn't help but look regretful: "It's good to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Xuelu, don't you think about it anymore?"
Tong Xuelu shook his head: "I don't want to be here."
Wei Guozhi still wanted to persuade, but Shen Wanrong gave him a hand and glared at him again, and then he shut his mouth embarrassedly.
Commander Xiao put down the bowl in his hand, looked at her and said, "You have always been a determined child. Since you have already made up your mind, then do what you want. Grandpa supports you."
Tong Xuelu's mouth curled up: "Thank you, grandpa."
She was actually quite afraid that her grandfather would join the persuasion team. There is no distinction between high and low careers, only likes and dislikes.
Going to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was very stressful, and she didn't want to be so tired.
Besides, to be a diplomat, you must go to a foreign country for permanent residence. Basically, more than half of your career will be spent abroad.
After she has enough qualifications, she can return to the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hold an important position, which means that she must be separated from her family and Wen Rugui.
And Wen Rugui's identity and work doomed him to go abroad.
Therefore, in terms of personality, preferences, and future development, she never wanted to go into politics, let alone become a diplomat.
Seeing that Commander Xiao received Tong Xuelu's thanks, Mr. Wen quickly expressed his thoughts: "Xuelu, grandpa also supports you, you can do whatever you want."
With the wealth of their Wen family, even if she doesn't want to work after graduation, their Wen family can afford it.
What's more, he didn't want Tong Xuelv to go abroad. If that was the case, he wouldn't want to eat the food she made in the future.
Tong Xuelu: "Thank you, Grandpa Wen. With your support, no matter what I do in the future, I will be confident."
The old man Wen was so happy that his beard shook.
Commander Xiao couldn't get used to his snarling appearance, and snorted: "Xuelu calls you Grandpa Wen, not Grandpa. You old stubborn don't always try to replace me."
Mr. Wen was not angry, but laughed even more: "In the future, when Xuelv and Rugui get married, they will change their name to my grandfather. You will not die of soreness then?"
Commander Xiao: "..."
Tong Xuelu shook her head helplessly.
The two are over 100 years old together, and they quarrel like children every day.
It was peaceful and happy here, but at this time the Shi family had a falling out.
After Shi Junmin was shot, the second brother Shi and the second sister-in-law Shi seemed to have aged 10 years together. Because the old man Shi Er passed away, the second brother Shi could not stay in Beijing for a long time. He and Cheng Xiuyun both went back to the city before seeing his son's body. Tsu went to the city.
Sister-in-law Shi collected her son's body by herself. Because of the inconvenient transportation these days, she couldn't bring the body back to Tianjin City. She could only bury her son in the cemetery on the side of Beijing City.
When she returned to Tianjin City, Second Sister Shi started a fight. She didn't fight like she did before, but her purpose was very clear - divorce.
Second Brother Shi thought she was saying something out of breath, but she didn't expect her to be real.
"Alan, what are you doing? Don't you feel ashamed if you get divorced at a lot of age?"
The second sister-in-law Shi looked at him coldly: "Shame? I don't feel ashamed when my son was shot. What is the shame for me to divorce you?"
True to the old saying that "good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles", since the news of Shi Junmin's execution, she has seen all kinds of human feelings.
Everyone avoided them and said nothing. What was even worse was that she, her husband, and her second son were persuaded to leave by the unit.
But Shi Xiuneng and Cheng Xiuyun, the two scumbags, have nothing at all.
Why doesn't she hate it
But she didn't want to spend any more time with Cheng Xiuyun, and she didn't want to take revenge. They Shi Jiaai could do whatever they wanted. She just wanted to divorce and start over.
Second Brother Shi was heartbroken and embarrassed when she heard that her son was shot: "It is because of Junmin's absence that our family has to live a good life and put our strength together. What about the two little ones?"
Cheng Xiuyun was called over to persuade her. Seeing second brother Shi frequently looking at her, she had to say, "Second sister-in-law..."
She didn't want her to speak, but Sister Shi pointed at her and yelled, "Shut up, you bastard, if you dare to say more, I will beat you to the point where you can't get out of this door!"
If she hadn't had a son and a daughter, she would have died with Cheng Xiuyun and his wife.
Cheng Xiuyun met her gloomy gaze, only felt a pain in her bald scalp, and did not dare to speak again.
Last time, she was beaten badly by the second sister-in-law Shi at the Beijing Railway Station. The wound on her face is now healed, but her bald hair will not grow back for a while, which is really mad at her.
The second sister-in-law Shi gave her a cold look, then turned her head and said, "If you really think about the two little ones, you should divorce me even more. After the divorce, the two children have my surname, so that they can still be human."
There is a brother who was shot, and both children will be ridiculed at school and at work in the future, and they may not be able to find jobs.
If they get divorced and change their surname, they can start over after moving to another place. As long as they give up revenge, the Wen family should also let them go.
She has lost a son and she doesn't want to go on like this.
Brother Shi's face sank: "What? You want two children with your surname? I don't agree!"
The second sister-in-law Shi snorted coldly: "The worst thing I have done in my life is to be blind to a selfish man like you. In your eyes, only your Shi family is the only one who never cares about the life and death of me and my child."
"I've been wrong for so many years, and I can't go any further. We must leave after marriage. As for whether the two children want to stay or go with me, it's up to them to decide."
Second Brother Shi still wanted to object, so he heard Second Sister Shi say: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to divorce me, I will poison all of your Shi family with a bottle of pesticide, and everyone will go to hell!"
Second Brother Shi: "..."
Cheng Xiuyun: "..."
Shi Xiuneng couldn't take it anymore: "Second brother, second sister-in-law has gone crazy. Since she wants to divorce, then you should divorce."
If she doesn't get divorced, she will be insane now, maybe one day she will really poison them.
Second Brother Shi was also afraid, so he went to the room to call the two children out and asked their opinions.
Their second son Shi Junjun said: "Of course I want to stay in the Shi family, my brother died so tragically, I must avenge him!"
Hearing Shi Junjun's words, Shi Jia and others were very comforted.
The youngest daughter, Shi Bichun, finally chose to go with her mother, Shi Ersao, after hesitating for a long time.
Shi Junjun blushed with anger, and looked at her with the eyes of a traitor: "Little sister, you don't persuade your mother not to divorce at this time, you still want to change your surname and go with her, is your head also caught in the door? "
Shi Bichun was still a little hesitant at first, but now he was scolded like this, but he strengthened his thoughts: "My mother and I have good brains, the problem is you, look at the fate of the elder brother, look at the Shi family, can't you wake up? ?"
In fact, it's not that the people of the Shi family have not awakened, but that the sunk capital is too great, and they have been left with nothing by the Wen family. At this time, they are unwilling to give up.
If two lives were said to be possible to reconcile before, it is now completely impossible.
This is a blood feud!
The second sister-in-law Shi originally wanted to take the two children away together, but the younger son's character was impulsive and impulsive since he was a child.
Shi Er's sister-in-law was full of helplessness, she took her second son's hand and said, "Jun Jun, let's go with mom, don't think about revenge anymore..."
But before she could finish speaking, Shi Junjun shook her hand away: "Mom, I have to warn you, if you dare to divorce my father, you will no longer be my mother after you walk out of this house, and when you are old, you will no longer be my mother. I won't even look at you when I die!"
The second sister-in-law Shi only felt that her second son had stabbed her in the heart: "Your Shi family is a bunch of lunatics, Xiaochun, go with your mother, we are far away from them."
In the end, Second Sister Shi still divorced Second Brother Shi, took her daughter to other provinces to seek refuge with relatives, and changed her daughter's surname to her own.
Although the three brothers of the Shi family have not turned against each other on the surface, their relationship has not been as strong as before.
To make matters worse, Shi Erge and Shi Junjun lost their jobs, and now they are entirely supported by Shi Xiuneng's family.
Shi Xiuneng and Cheng Xiuyun only gave birth to a daughter fifteen years after their marriage. Their daughter is only seven years old this year and has just entered the second grade of primary school.
The salary of the two is more than enough to support a daughter, but if they need to support two more adults, it is a bit stretched.
It would be fine if the other party looked a little grateful, but one would only sigh every day, and the other would sit and wait to eat like the uncle, and the family wouldn't even help the soy sauce bottle when it was poured.
What's more, Cheng Xiuyun's clothes were washed by both of them.
Cheng Xiuyun was very dissatisfied.
Seeing her hands getting thicker with each passing day, she wanted the second brother Shi and his son to cook and do laundry by themselves, and they would take some living expenses for them every month.
Who knew that Shi Junjun was impulsive, but he was not stupid. He refuted her suggestion on the spot. Cheng Xiuyun wanted to persuade him again. ", making Cheng Xiuyun so angry that he almost vomited blood.
The days are spent in such a mess, and the relationship between the two families is getting worse and worse.
Although he hasn't turned his face yet, it's a matter of time.
**
Today was Jiang Danhong's birthday, and she invited a friend she knew to have dinner at a state-run restaurant.
As soon as Tong Xuelv heard her invite everyone to the state-run restaurant, she knew what she wanted to do.
Sure enough, halfway through the meal, Jiang Danhong blushed and said, "Let me introduce to you, this is my partner, Comrade Deng."
Manager Deng raised the cup in his hand and said to everyone, "My name is Deng Hong, and everyone can call me Ahong in the future. I would like to thank everyone for taking care of Dan Hong in the past. I am here to thank everyone for tea instead of wine."
After he finished speaking, he drank it.
Deng Xiaojia, the daughter of Manager Deng, sat obediently beside Jiang Danhong and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Danhong, you are dating your father, will I change my name to call you mother in the future?"
Jiang Danhong blushed like a red apple: "No, you will still call me teacher in the future."
Fang Jingyuan leaned over and teased, "Xiaojia, let me tell you, you can't change your name to mother until you get married, so if you want to call Sister Dan Hong your mother, you must rush them to get married."
Deng Xiaojia tilted his head and asked with big eyes flashing: "Mr. Dan Hong, when will you marry my father? I want to call you mother."
Jiang Danhong blushed so red that she could almost fry an egg on it, but her heart was sweeter than eating honey, she gave the nosy Fang Jingyuan a look and said, "You talk too much, you want to get married so much, I'll tell my mother later, let her give you more Introduce objects."
This time, it was Fang Jingyuan's turn to blush: "Don't do it, Sister Dan Hong, please don't do this, I know it's wrong, it's me who talks too much."
Jiang Danhong said: "I don't have to talk about it, but you are quite old, don't you really not talk about the object?"
Fang Jingyuan scratched her nose, her eyes wandering: "It's not that I don't want to talk, it's just that I haven't met the right one."
Jiang Danhong was very enthusiastic: "What are you looking for, tell me, and Xuelu and I will pay attention to you later."
Fang Jingyuan: "…"
Tong Xuelu laughed "puchi": "Sister Dan Hong, if you really dare to introduce her to someone, someone will look for you desperately when you come back."
Fang Jingyuan blushed even more, and looked at Tong Xuelu anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have a word with my little eyes."
Tong Xuelu shrugged: "I didn't say who it was, so you don't want to recruit yourself."
Fang Jingyuan: "…"
Jiang Danhong was curious, but it was inconvenient for so many people to ask questions.
After the meal, Jiao Yunshi was added, and the four moved the battlefield to Jiang Danhong's house, talking about their thoughts while eating snacks.
Jiao Yunshi agreed to Park Jianyi's pursuit a while ago, and now the two are already in a relationship.
Jiao Yunshi herself is very motivated. Although she went to primary school at an older age, she has skipped many grades in just over a year and is now a second year student.
Tong Xuelv took a bite of a red bean cake and asked, "Sister Dan Hong, don't blame me for being too talkative, have you really thought about it? Being a stepmother is not easy."
Hearing Tong Xuelu's words, Fang Jingyuan and Jiao Yunshi nodded in unison.
Jiang Danhong's mouth curled slightly: "I wanted to tell you about Xiaojia before. Xiaojia is not actually Deng Hong's biological daughter. Deng Hong has never been married."
Tong Xuelu was stunned: "What's going on?"
"Deng Hong's parents were not in good health when he was a child. It was his uncle's family who gave money and efforts, and helped a lot. Later, after his parents passed away, his uncle has been raising him."
"It's just that the good people didn't pay well. His cousin, a drilling worker, was buried under a well in an accident. His uncle and aunt learned the news. The two old people died of a stroke on the spot. Xiaojia's biological mother finished After the funeral, they remarry quickly, and don't want a daughter who is less than one year old."
"Deng Hong couldn't bear that Deng Jia had no father or mother, so he adopted the child and recognized her as his own, and he also knew about my past. He said he didn't care."
After speaking, a blush appeared on Jiang Danhong's face, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
Seeing her like this, Tong Xuelu knew that she and Deng Hong had a very good relationship: "So it's like this, it seems that Manager Deng is a man you can rely on."
Fang Jingyuan and Jiao Yunshi also nodded in unison.
They all know Jiang Danhong's past, it was too hard and too hard, and now to meet a man like Deng Hong who is affectionate and righteous, it is a blessing.
Jiang Danhong smiled and nodded: "He is very good. I told him that I would not have children in the future, and he agreed."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's impression of Deng Hong was better.
Tong Xuelu said, "Any man these days doesn't want a son. Manager Deng agrees not to have a child even though Deng Jia is not his biological daughter. It's really rare."
Jiao Yunshi nodded: "Indeed, Sister Dan Hong is really happy for you to meet such a good man."
Jiang Danhong blushed and said with a smile: "You don't have to envy me either. Comrade Wen and Comrade Park are both reliable men who treat you like jewels like jewels."
Although Park Jianyi's mouth is a little worthy, he is really good at Jiao Yunshi. The two have met their parents, and both parents are very satisfied with them.
Not to mention Tong Xuelu and Wen Rugui.
When Wen Rugui and Tong Xuelu were not the target, in order to let her have a house to rent, she bought a house of more than 5,000 yuan with her own money.
Now it is for Tong Xuelu to go to Beijing University as a guest professor. Although a guest professor only needs to give a speech once or twice a month, it increases a lot of workload, and it takes seven or eight hours to go back and forth each time.
If you don't really like someone, no one can do this.
Fang Jingyuan looked at this, looked at that, and suddenly realized one thing - she was the only one in this room.
Xiao Chengping's appearance suddenly appeared in her mind, and her heart beat fast twice.
After returning from Jiang Danhong's house, she had already made up her mind, and she felt that she might be able to give Xiao Chengping a chance.
Just thinking about going back to the main backyard.
Fang Jingyuan is an impatient person. With this idea in her heart, she immediately wants to confirm the relationship.
So she ran to Xiao's house to find Xiao Chengping, but was told that he was training at the gymnasium at the moment.
She hurried to the training ground again, and sure enough she saw Xiao Chengping playing sandbags.
Xiao Chengping's upper body was bare, and the muscles of his body and arms were exposed, looking like Kong Wu was powerful.
Fang Jingyuan would definitely feel that he was shameless if it was placed before, but now that her mentality changed, she actually felt that Xiao Chengping like this was full of charm and gave people a great sense of security.
She bit her lip and walked towards him with a blushing heartbeat.
It's just that not everyone can enter the training ground, but there is a low wall next to him playing sandbags.
Fang Jingyuan came to the side of the low wall and was about to stand on tiptoe to talk to him when her right foot suddenly cramped.
She slipped and stepped on the mud next to her. The mud on her feet made her frown in disgust. What was even more uncomfortable was the cramps in her feet.
At this moment, Xiao Chengping found her hiding behind a low wall and sneaking a peek at him.
He immediately punched the sandbag harder, showing off his most manly side.
He is so masculine, Fang Jingyuan must be so fascinated by him that her heart blushes.
He peeked over and saw Fang Jingyuan blushing, so he punched and kicked harder.
Forget it, he also kicked the mulberry tree next to him.
The mulberry tree was covered with mulberry fruits, and the fruits fell off the branches by such a kick.
Fang Jingyuan's cramps made her facial features twisted, but she didn't dare to shout out, because it was too embarrassing.
But before she got better from her cramps, mulberry rain began to fall on her head, and the fruit hit her head, and her face was suddenly full of juice.
"… "
Fang Jingyuan's face was flushed with anger, she was really sick just now that she thought Xiao Chengping was a good candidate!
Xiao Chengping didn't know that he missed an opportunity to become a regular, and continued to hit the mulberry tree hard.
Kong Wu powerful man, luck is not too bad :)
Two years later.
