Time flies, and a lot has happened in the past two years.
From the national point of view, 1978 was the year when the reform and liberalization began, and it was also the year when the household joint contract responsibility system began.
In 1979, the country and the United States resumed diplomatic relations, and it was the same year that the "Sino-Foreign Equity Joint Venture Law" came into effect, and foreign enterprises and companies began to enter China.
In 1980, the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone was formally established.
In terms of Tong Xuelu's life, she skipped a year in her freshman year, and now she is about to graduate in half a semester.
Although she skipped a grade, she still stayed in the original dormitory, and the group in the dormitory also changed a lot.
First of all, Cui Rou Rou got divorced. Her husband went to college in her hometown, and the two stayed together less often. Last year, the two decided to divorce.
Xie Xiaoyan confirmed the relationship with a fellow college student under the introduction of her family; Lin Lanjuan was the only person in the dormitory who did not fall in love, but under the influence of Tong Xuelu, she was not as inferior as before, and now she is still the backbone of the school's literature club, often Published his work in major newspapers.
Jiang Baihui had a relationship with Liang Tianyi, the boy who gave her the book "Anna Karenina" back then. I have to say one more thing here. Liang Tianyi is a top student with a very high talent in physics.
He also skipped grades when he was a sophomore, and his grades occupied the first place in the department all the year round. He once wanted to worship Wen Rugui as a teacher, but Wen Rugui refused, but because of his talent, he often guided him privately.
Also because of this relationship, Tong Xuelv and Jiang Baihui have the best relationship.
The two of them are eating together at the small restaurant outside the school at the moment.
Since the second half of last year, there have been many business stalls on the streets, but there are still very few people who dare to open a store to do business.
"What's going on between you and classmate Liang? You still ignore him?" Tong Xuelv asked with a piece of chicken in his mouth.
Jiang Baihui took the chopsticks and poked the rice in the bowl: "He's going to go abroad, how should we continue to separate the country?"
Because of Liang Tianyi's excellent grades, the school plans to recommend him to study abroad as soon as he graduates. Jiang Baihui doesn't care about Liang Tianyi's family difficulties, but when she thinks that the two will not be separated for several years, she has no confidence at all.
Therefore, she recently had a unilateral cold war with Liang Tianyi. Liang Tianyi ran downstairs to wait for her in the dormitory every day, rain or shine, and was very patient.
Tong Xuelu glanced at her: "Why can't you continue? If you really like each other, you can always find a way to be together."
Jiang Baihui raised her head suddenly, her big eyes full of anticipation: "Good snow green, have you thought of a good way, tell me quickly."
Tong Xuelv put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, "It's not a solution, if you are sure of each other, you can get married before classmate Liang goes abroad, and then you pass the application to see if you can apply to go to the country where he studied at the beginning. level translator or trainee diplomat.”
Liang Tianyi is very talented in physics. The country is in urgent need of talents in this field. In order to cultivate talents in this field, the country has promised to contract Liang Tianyi's expenses for going abroad.
Liang Tianyi is now worried about his relationship every day. If the school teacher finds out, he will definitely find a way to solve his problems.
Jiang Baihui's grades are also excellent, and she is also an excellent backbone of the student union. She just applied for party membership this year. If the two of them get married, Jiang Baihui would like to apply to work in the same country in the future, and there is a high chance that she will succeed.
Jiang Baihui's eyes lit up at first, and then she bit her lips: "It feels weird to get married for this reason."
Tong Xuelu shrugged: "I've already told you the method. You can decide for yourself about other things, but even if you want to get married, you have to get the consent of both parents."
Jiang Baihui thought for a while, then covered her face and said, "I still envy you the most. Professor Wen is so attentive to you, and you have confirmed each other again."
Speaking of Wen Rugui, Tong Xuelu raised the corner of Tong Xuelu's mouth: "Student Liang is also very kind to you, do what you do and cherish it."
Jiang Baihui pouted: "Why is he so good? He's just a nerd."
"The tongue is not the heart."
"… "
After the two returned to the dormitory after eating, they saw Liang Tianyi standing downstairs in the dormitory against the sun from a distance, his face flushed from the sun, but he stood motionless.
Tong Xuelu glanced at Jiang Baihui: "Your nerd is waiting for you downstairs again, which boy has such patience?"
Jiang Baihui glanced at her angrily: "Don't your professor Wen have such patience?"
Tong Xuelu hooked her lips: "So I cherish my relationship with him very much. If you don't cherish it again, don't regret it when you look back."
Although Liang Tianyi's family situation is difficult, he is very good personally, and he is sure that he will be recommended to study abroad. It can be said that he has a bright future. Such a boy has a lot of girls beside him.
Jiang Baihui is not an awkward person: "I see, thank you for telling me this, I'll have a chat with him now."
Tong Xuelu nodded: "That's right, it should be made clear, the cold war can't always solve the problem."
She doesn't like the cold war, which is a kind of violence to her.
However, she and Wen Rugui have been together for nearly three years, and they have never blushed, let alone a cold war.
When Liang Tianyi saw Jiang Baihui, he didn't know if he was shy or excited, his face flushed red: "Huihui, are you back?"
Immediately look at Tong Xuelu: "Hello, classmate Tong."
Tong Xuelu teased: "Hello, classmate Liang, you are still standing in the sun on such a hot day. If we come back later, you can't be sunburned like a monkey's butt?"
Liang Tianyi's face turned red when he heard this.
In terms of liking physics and blush, Liang Tianyi and Wen Rugui are very similar, no wonder they are both teachers and friends, and they get along very well.
"Pfft-"
Jiang Baihui couldn't help but smile when she saw his red face.
"Let's talk, I'll go up first."
After she finished speaking, she went straight away, she didn't wait for the annoying light bulb.
**
On the weekend, Tong Xuelv did not go home directly, but went to the store he bought to inspect the decoration.
She wants to be the first batch of people to eat crabs. The national policy is becoming clearer and clearer, and more and more people will go to the sea to do business in the future.
Therefore, last year, she used her own private house money and borrowed money from her grandfather. Later, when Wen Rugui found out, she handed over all her salary and savings to her. She used the money to buy a shop and a three-story building. house.
The shop is just behind the Beijing University. This street will develop into a famous snack street in the future. Her shop is in the best location.
If it weren't for her lack of money, she really wanted to buy ten or eight shops in one fell swoop, and she would make a lot of money by renting them out as a rent collector.
But don't worry, she plans to open a hot pot restaurant here first. Hot pot does not require any skills, and she will just hire a few reliable people to help her manage it.
Her main energy will be on the restaurant side.
The shops on the Beijing University side are almost finished, and they will be completed in two days. Tong Xuelu inspected and pointed out the dissatisfaction.
Then she went to the restaurant again.
The renovation work of the restaurant is relatively large, and she wants to make it into a high-end restaurant. With the decoration style she proposed, the master who helped the construction and decoration has never heard of it, so it is not fast.
Fortunately, the remuneration she gave was considerable, so the decoration master was willing to help her.
As soon as he returned home from the restaurant, the moon cake brought its daughter bean sprouts and the old hen Xiao Liu to greet him.
The mooncake has now grown into a big dog, watching the tiger grow strong, and usually does not dare to let it go out without anyone leading it, for fear that it will scare passers-by.
Although the bean sprout is the daughter of the moon cake, it looks much smaller and more exquisite. It should be inherited from its mother's genes, and the bean sprout is very beautiful.
Although the bean sprouts are raised in the Wei family, the Xiao family's food is better, so it often comes to the door by itself.
As for Xiao Liu, he is over five years old this year. A chicken can live for more than ten years without getting sick, so Xiao Liu is still in his prime.
At first, Xiaoliu was raised so that he could lay eggs, but later he had feelings for him, so he was reluctant to kill him.
Xiaoliu has also become a sperm. In addition to laying eggs, he can also help in housekeeping and nursing homes, and he has become friends with mooncakes, dogs and chickens.
Tong Xuelu was sweating and walked to the faucet, turned on the faucet and washed his face, cool water splashed on his face to cool down the temperature on his face.
She breathed out a sigh of relief, and when she turned around, she was about to bathe the father and daughter of moon cakes and bean sprouts, when Uncle Zong appeared at the small door.
"Commander, it's Xuelu who's back." After he finished speaking, he looked back at Tong Xuelu, "I just said that the moon cakes, bean sprouts, and Xiao Liu didn't call. It must be the family members who came back."
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "Yes, I'll be back this weekend, but why didn't Uncle Zong and Grandpa Wen go to the park to exercise today?"
In the past two years, she was worried that Mr. Wen had signs of Alzheimer's disease, so she made a series of fitness plans for him.
At first, Mr. Wen was a little unwilling to move, but later he realized that it was fun, and she would go to the park with Uncle Zong to exercise every day without her having to stare.
In the past two years, the policy has been improved. Many elderly people will go to the park in the morning and evening to exercise and chat with their peers, which is very helpful to Mr. Wen's body.
At least in the past two years, his physical condition has not deteriorated, and his memory is better than the previous two years.
Uncle Zong frowned and said, "Come here if you're okay, the commander has something to tell you."
Seeing Uncle Zong's expression, Tong Xuelu made a "crack" in his heart, and quickly followed up and said, "Uncle Zong, could it be that there is something wrong with Grandpa Wen's body?"
Uncle Zong was startled for a moment, then waved his hand quickly: "No, no, the commander wants to tell you about the Cheng family and the Shi family."
It turned out to be the death of the family.
Tong Xuelu breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Shi Junmin was shot, the Shi family has never been as good as before.
Second Brother Shi and Shi Junjun have not done anything for the past two years. They sit at home every day waiting for Cheng Xiuyun and Shi Xiuneng to be fed, like a giant baby and an imbecile.
Cheng Xiuyun was especially dissatisfied. It was enough to keep their two father and son, and they had to serve them as old mothers. According to the news, the two families had a small quarrel for three days and a big fight for five days, and the relationship was very bad.
As for killing the two families, it is no longer an alliance, so even if they have hatred in their hearts, they can't make a splash now.
But seeing Uncle Zong's expression is so serious, I don't know what's wrong with Cheng Yun.
Walking into the living room, I saw Mr. Wen sitting on the Taishi chair with the words "I'm angry" written on his face.
Tong Xuelu poured a glass of water and brought it to him: "Grandpa Wen, it's not worth it to ruin your body for that kind of popularity. Just drink the water and don't get angry."
"It's so hot outside, don't worry about pouring water for me, just pour yourself a glass."
Mr. Wen was happy when he saw her. Now that she was coaxing herself as a child, how could he be sullen.
Tong Xuelu nodded with a smile, poured himself and Uncle Zong a cup of scented tea made of sweet-scented osmanthus, cassia seeds and wolfberry: "Grandpa Wen, what happened?"
Mr. Wen put the water glass on the table and hummed, "That woman has returned to Beijing."
Tong Xuelu was startled: "When did it happen?"
Mr. Wen: "Yesterday, their family moved back to Beijing yesterday. It looks like they plan to come back to Beijing to do business."
Tong Xuelu: "Shi Xiuneng quit his job? And what about his second cousin and Shi Junjun, did they return to Beijing with him?"
Mr. Wen frowned: "Shi Xiuneng was persuaded to quit by his unit, the factory's benefits are not good, and his family background is the worst, so naturally he was the first to be persuaded to quit, as for the two father and son who did not come with them for the time being , they fell out."
It's a good word to say that it was a fallout, but it's actually a big fight.
Shi Xiuneng was persuaded to quit by the unit and received a compensation, but without a job, all the burden of the family fell on Cheng Xiuyun alone.
Cheng Xiuyun was under too much pressure and made frequent mistakes in his work, and was eventually fired by the unit.
The two families were sitting and eating. Shi Junjun knew that Shi Xiuneng had compensation in his hand, so he wanted him to take out the money and let everyone do business together, but Cheng Xiuyun naturally refused.
Shi Junjun has been completely useless in the past two years. He doesn't look for a job. He specializes in stealing chickens and dogs. The so-called business is a liar, he just wants to take money to gamble.
So it started like this. I heard that Shi Xiuneng was given a discount for one hand. Shi Junjun was too cruel. Shi Xiuneng finally divided half of the compensation to him, and then the two went their separate ways.
"Grandpa Wen doesn't need to worry too much. With the conditions of their Shi and Cheng families, they can't find any waves."
Tong Xuelu was not surprised that Cheng Xiuyun would come to Beijing, because in the book it was she who drove Wen Rugui to a dead end after returning to Beijing.
However, because she is not the protagonist of the book, not even a supporting role, she has no idea what business she did after returning to Beijing, and what happened later.
Mr. Wen nodded: "I'm not afraid of them making trouble, I'm worried that the woman will find her home."
At that time, Wen Rugui was only four or five years old. She could do such a vicious attack. Now that both the Shi family and the Cheng family are trampled in the dirt, if she wants to turn over, she is most likely to find Wen Rugui.
He was not sure if Wen Rugui remembered things from his childhood, it would have a serious impact and stimulation on him.
Tong Xuelv thought for a while and said, "Grandpa Wen, I think I should tell Rugui about this matter, at least let him take precautions."
She has been paying close attention to Wen Rugui's situation for the past two years. Fortunately, the little friend in Wen Rugui's fantasy has not appeared for a long time.
If there is no Cheng Xiuyun, she thinks that he should be able to maintain such a good state in the future, but Cheng Xiuyun is like a ticking time bomb, and I don't know when it will explode.
Mr. Wen nodded: "You are right, you can call him later and tell him that you two are not too young, so you can quickly get married and have a small family, even if the woman comes back and finds it like home , it doesn't affect him."
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "I know, I will get married when I graduate this year."
Speaking of this topic, Mr. Wen couldn't help but get excited.
It's good to get married, I will give him a few great-grandchildren/daughters later, and he will take great-grandchildren/daughters at home in the future.
Tong Xuelu didn't know what Mr. Wen was thinking, otherwise she might not be able to resist pouring cold water on her.
Family planning will be implemented in a few years, and she will only have one child whether she wants to or not, but she doesn't want to have more than one.
A telephone was installed at home, and Tong Xuelv went back to the next door to call Wen Rugui.
Although the two have been together for almost three years, Wen Rugui is as simple as ever, and she still blushes when she receives a call from her.
"Are you calling me from home?"
Tong Xuelv pretended to complain: "Well, you haven't come back for a month, when can you take a vacation?"
Wen Rugui: "I'm not sure about this either..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Tong Xuelu say: "Bai Hui and Liang Tianyi have been in a cold war recently, do you know why?"
"why?"
"Because Liang Tianyi is going to be recommended to study abroad, she thinks that it is not good for the two to be separated from each other. Although we are in the same city, it is so difficult to meet each other. Do you think I should also have a cold war with you?"
Wen Rugui groaned in her heart, and the phone in her hand was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground: "Xuelu, I'm sorry, I will definitely find a way to ask for leave to come back to accompany you." Don't fight with me.
The two have never had any conflicts or awkwardness together, but just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable.
Tong Xuelu's red lips slightly hooked: "then you coax me, you coax me and I won't fight with you."
Wen Rugui looked around and made sure no one was there before he lowered his voice and said, "Xuelu, don't be angry with me, I like you the most."
After he finished speaking, his face turned red and turned into cooked shrimp, and he beat an egg on it, and it would be scalded in minutes.
Tong Xuelu didn't feel sweet when she heard the words, but she couldn't help laughing: "How can you say something like this over and over again, no, think about it again."
Let Wen Rugui solve the physics problem, he never frowned, but hearing that he was asked to speak sweetly made him feel the urge to scratch his hair.
After thinking for a while, he choked out a sentence: "Baby, be good, brother go back and let you... do whatever you want."
Tong Xuelu giggled: "Do whatever you want? Brother, are you good or bad, if I want you to beg for mercy under me?"
Tsk tsk, the dialogue between the two is not suitable for children.
Wen Rugui's face was so red that it almost dripped blood: "Well, as long as you are happy, I am willing to be under you... beg for mercy."
As soon as the words landed, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he turned around, he saw Zhou Yan standing behind him with a face struck by lightning.
Zhou Yan: "…"
Wen Rugui: "… "
The air was quiet for a few seconds, and the scene was awkward for a while.
Zhou Yan lowered his voice and said, "It's really unbelievable. I usually see you as honest, but I didn't expect it to be so wild."
"..." Wen Rugui wanted to dig a hole to bury himself, "What do you have to do with me?"
"The dean asked you to come over."
Wen Rugui said to Tong Xuelu on the other end of the phone, "I have something to do. I'll call you later."
Tong Xuelu originally wanted to get the atmosphere in order before mentioning Cheng Xiuyun to him, but he got busy again without speaking.
But work is urgent, she answered and hung up the phone.
Wen Rugui came to the dean's office.
When President Zhuang saw him, he immediately showed a smile: "If you go home, do you know what I have to do with you?"
Wen Rugui shook his head: "I don't know."
President Zhuang smiled and said, "Congratulations, based on your excellent performance over the years, the base has decided to let you succeed Director Jiao as the second director of the Institute of Mechanics."
Wen Rugui didn't look ecstatic when he heard the words, instead he frowned and said, "What about Director Jiao?"
Dean Zhuang came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry about this, Director Jiao was not fired, he was also promoted, the specific position has not been determined yet, but he recommends you to be the next director, Are you all right?"
Hearing that the teacher was not dismissed, Wen Rugui was relieved: "I follow the arrangement of the organization."
President Zhuang said with a smile: "Okay, continue to perform well in the future, and strive to make greater contributions to the country."
Although Wen Rugui has never studied abroad, his talent in physics surpasses that of many others. What is even more rare is that he is not rigid, innovative and active in thinking. No wonder Jiao Bozhen is such a precious student.
It is said that in the last test of the missile, everything was fully prepared for the test, but it failed to reach the predetermined range. It was Wen Rugui who proposed a new idea to remove part of the fuel and propellant in order to reduce the take-off weight of the missile.
Jiao Bozhen listened to his advice, and the experiment was successful.
It is their luck that the base has such talents.
When they came out of the dean's office, those who got the news congratulated Wen Rugui.
The 28-year-old director, this height is really unmatched.
Zhou Yan and Huang Qimin both ate a mouthful of lemons, but they were more happy for him.
Wen Rugui didn't tell Tong Xuelu the news when he called back because he was going to Beijing University to give his last speech on Monday.
After being promoted to director, the task is even heavier, and there is no time to give speeches in the future.
When Tong Xuelv heard that he was going to school, he didn't mention Cheng Xiuyun, thinking about telling him face to face then.
It's Monday.
After Wen Rugui came to Peking University, he told the department leader about his promotion and the fact that he could no longer serve as a visiting professor in the future.
The leaders of the department congratulated him one after another, and at the same time felt very sorry.
They knew very well that the reason why Wen Rugui came to be a visiting professor despite the hard work for more than two years was largely because of his fiancee's sake.
Where are they going to find such an excellent visiting professor in the future
Tong Xuelv didn't go to Wen Rugui's last speech. First, she had a class to attend, and secondly, she couldn't understand.
After Wen Rugui finished his speech, he also said his final goodbyes to the students.
The students were very reluctant, and some couldn't help crying.
Everyone gathered around him and asked a lot of questions, and they didn't leave until half an hour later when they had other classes.
Wen Rugui was packing his things and was about to leave when a slender figure walked towards him and said in a tender voice—
"Professor Wen, are you really not going to give us a speech in the future?"
Wen Rugui raised her head and met a beautiful young face.
