Wen Rugui's back was straight, and he didn't move for a while.
Tong Xuelv felt the stiffness under his palm, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Comrade Wen, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Wen Rugui came back to his senses and responded, but his voice was no longer as calm as before.
Tong Xuelu sat sideways in the back seat, the corners of his mouth curved deeper.
The middle-aged man finally caught up from behind, and when he saw that they were about to ride away, he quickly panted and shouted, "Can you guys give me a ride too?"
Tong Xuelu rolled her eyes at the sky: Of course not, you just want to eat a light bulb.
Besides, where does he want to sit? Could it be that he wanted to sit in front of Wen Rugui's arms?
Wen Rugui didn't seem to hear it either. With a kick of her long legs, she drove her out of the alley in a swipe, and soon disappeared into the eyes of the middle-aged man.
As soon as he got out of the alley, Tong Xuelv took back the hand on his waist.
These days, even an object can't hold hands on the street, and hugs like this are not allowed.
Wen Rugui noticed her hand leaving, and pursed her shallow lips.
I suddenly felt that the alley was too short, it should be longer.
All of a sudden, I felt that I stepped too fast just now, and I should have stepped on it a little slower.
It is now the end of summer, and the leaves on the treetops by the road have turned yellow. When the wind blows, the dead leaves fall from the trees in a curling manner.
Wen Rugui looked at the tree by the roadside and asked, "Comrade Tong, why did you go to that place?"
Tong Xuelv didn't answer his words, but asked instead, "What about you, Comrade Wen? Why did you suddenly appear there?"
Wen Rugui paused: "I just came over to look for someone nearby, and I saw you entered Xishui Street. Although I haven't been there, I know it's a black market. Later, I heard someone say that the police came and I went in. already."
He lied.
He was really embarrassed to let her know that he found her after a lot of circles around the state-run hotel.
Tong Xuelu didn't doubt his motive for coming here, and his voice was naughty: "So, Comrade Wen can find me so quickly because he has been waiting for me outside?"
"… "
Wen Rugui's heart jumped when he heard the words, and the front of the car tilted.
Tong Xuelu looked up at his ears and saw that the roots of his ears were red again.
She suppressed her smile: "Comrade Wen, didn't you hear me?"
Wen Rugui was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and it took a long time before he said, "Well, I heard from Jianyi that the police are very strict with the black market. You'd better not go there in the future."
His voice has always been nice, deep and clean, swirling in the wind, as if it was dipped in honey, making people feel sweet.
Tong Xuelu hooked her lips: "Comrade Wen, thank you for your concern! Since you said so, then I will listen to you and won't go there in the future."
Her voice was soft and soft, with trust and reliance on him in her voice.
Not good enough.
Wen Rugui pursed her thin lips, her heart throbbing.
It took him a long time to get his voice back: "You haven't said why you're going there? Yes... Are you out of money?"
Tong Xuelu sighed slightly: "That's right, didn't I tell you just now that I'm changing jobs? When the time comes, I'm going to move to the city to live. I told people to rent her house, but the environment of the house is not very good. Okay, so I wanted to buy a house in the city two days earlier to live in."
"Unfortunately, the house is too expensive. I can't afford it, so I thought of selling something to save more money. Comrade Wen, now that you know, you shouldn't report me, right?"
"Of course not. I can lend you how much money you lack."
Saying that, he stopped the car on the side of the road, put his long legs on the ground, and looked back at her.
Looking at each other, Tong Xuelu saw trust in his eyes.
Tong Xuelu's heart warmed, and she jumped up from the back seat: "No need, the money is a bit too much. I'll buy it after I save enough money, but I still want to thank you!"
It is very rare to be able to take the initiative to lend money to others at any time.
She took this thought.
If it was only a few hundred thousand yuan, she might still speak.
But now she only has more than 1,000 yuan in her hands, which is almost 4,000 yuan. How could she be so embarrassed to say this?
The golden sunlight shone on her body, dyeing the hair on her temples golden, and the golden shimmering light jumped under her eyes, like stars in the night sky.
Wen Rugui lowered her eyes, stared at the ground and said, "I suddenly remembered that there is a house in my house that has been empty and unoccupied. If you don't dislike it, you and your family can move there and live there."
Tong Xuelu's eyes lit up: "Is it true? Where is that house?"
Wen Rugui nodded, still not looking at her: "Just in the city."
"How big is the house? Is it convenient to go over and take a look now?"
"Not now, I want to give people something." He raised the toffee and snacks in his hand, "If you are not in a hurry, we will go to the house the day after tomorrow, and I will have the house cleaned in advance by the way."
Tong Xuelu nodded with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Okay, then the day after tomorrow, thank you Comrade Wen!"
The environment on Su Xiuying's side is really bad. If Wen Rugui's house is good, she will definitely choose his side.
"you are welcome."
Wen Rugui's voice finally returned to its former calm and calm.
Tong Xuelu: "In that case, Comrade Wen, hurry up and deliver something, I won't delay you!"
Wen Rugui wanted to say no delay, but only when the words came to her lips did she react: "By the way, how can I contact you then?"
Tong Xuelv thought for a moment and said, "Let's meet at the entrance of the post office in the south of the city at ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow?"
"Okay." See you there.

Wen Rugui returned to the military compound with white rabbit toffee and snacks, plus a packet of mung bean cake.
Seeing how he came back when he went out, Mr. Wen couldn't help but stare: "What? Didn't you see anyone?"
Wen Rugui: "I see."
When Mr. Wen heard the words, he became angry: "Why did you bring this thing back when you saw someone? What's the other package?"
"green bean cake."
"Girl Tender Grass gave it to you?"
"Um."
"What the hell do you think? I asked you to deliver something to the girl. If you don't deliver it, it's fine. You even eat and pack. You still have a face, eh?"
Mr. Wen was so angry that his beard was shaking, and he walked over to grab the mung bean cake in his hand.
Wen Rugui moved in a flash and hid the mung bean cake behind him: "Grandpa, I want to borrow five hundred yuan from you."
Mr. Wen snorted: "you give me the mung bean cake, and what about your own money?"
Wen Rugui's own salary is more than 200 yuan, and this year it has increased by 20 yuan. Over the past few years, he has stayed in the scientific research center every day. Still short of money?
Wen Rugui was silent for a while and said, "My money was lent to a colleague in the center before, and now Jianyi is also lending me money."
"Jianyi?" Mr. Wen frowned. "Why did he borrow money from you? Does he know about this?"
Wen Rugui blinked: "Something happened at the house of a friend Jianyi knows, and he wants to help them."
Old man Wen's eyes flashed: "Is the other party a man or a woman?"
Wen Rugui: "I don't know."
Pu Jianyi, who was at the Public Security Bureau, sneezed suddenly, thinking that he might have caught a cold.
Mr. Wen snorted: "Okay, give me the mung bean cake, and I'll go get you the money."
Wen Rugui: "Grandpa, you ate the fish. You should also hide the mung bean cake in your room before. The doctor said you can't eat too many sweet things."
"What the doctor said is fart!" Mr. Wen hummed, "you didn't answer why I didn't give things to other girls?"
Wen Rugui's expression was light: "Didn't you say that you will have an excuse to find the other party next time if you keep the things? So I want to send it to her next time."
"… "
Mr. Wen supported his forehead back to the room to get the money.
He felt that just like his grandson, he probably would never have the chance to hold his great-grandson in his life.
**
Tong Xuelu took the car back to Yanqing County.
Back at home, the things in the house have been cleaned up.
Tong Jiaxin and Tong Mianmian are two little guys fighting with pillows while working on the side. It seems that Tong Jiaming cleans up most of the things.
When Tong Mianmian saw her sister coming back, she immediately left Tong Jiaxin and ran over: "sister, you are back!"
Tong Xuelu hugged her: "Is Mianmian obedient at home today?"
"Yes, Mianmian is very good!" The little dumpling nodded heavily, and said in a milky voice, "Mianmian helped the second brother fold the clothes!"
"My family is really capable!"
The little dumpling nodded with a small chest: "Mianmian is very capable, just as capable as my sister."
"Little sister, when did you become so stinky? Besides, do you call it folding clothes? You call it rubbing clothes!"
Tong Jiaxin laughed unbearably when she heard her praise herself.
Tong Mianmian's pale and tender face was flushed with anger: "third brother is a villain, Mianmian ignores you!"
Tong Jiaxin grimaced at her: "don't pay attention, don't pay attention, cheap people drink cold water..."
Tong Jiaming shouted, "Jiaxin, shut up, don't bully your little sister again!"
Tong Mianmian looked at Tong Jiaming with watery eyes: "the second brother is the best, the third brother is the cheap one!"
Tong Jiaxin grimaced again, looking like he didn't care.
Tong Xuelu couldn't help but rolled his eyes at the roof: I really want to kill this arrogant child.
After dinner in the evening, Tong Jiaxin made trouble again.
He announced that he will not take a bath tonight!
Tong Xuelu was too lazy to care about him, anyway, he didn't sleep with her, and if he wanted to smoke, it was also to smoke Tong Jiaming.
In fact, many people don't take a bath every day these days. Tong Jiaming has little opinion on Tong Jiaxin not taking a bath, but requires him to wash his feet before going to bed.
When it was time to go to sleep, Tong Jiaxin brought a basin of water to wash his feet in the house. He stood in the basin and rubbed his feet while twisting and twisting: "Mianmian is a cheapskate, cheapskates love to drink foot water."
"Brother Smelly, I'm ignoring you!"
Tong Mianmian sat facing the wall with her arms folded in her hands, her mouth pouting.
Tong Jiaxin twisted his butt even more when he heard the words: "Mianmian is a cheapskate... ah..."
"boom!"
Suddenly, his foot slipped, and the whole person fell back and fell heavily to the ground.
His head hit the footbath, and when the footbath was turned over, the entire water in the footbath fell on his face.
"Hahaha… "
Seeing Tong Jiaxin drinking a lot of his own foot wash, Tong Xuelv couldn't help laughing.
Bear boy, that's it!
Tong Jiaming bent the corner of his mouth and walked over to help Tong Jiaxin up.
Tong Jiaxin's head was thrown out of a big bag. The pain was second, and the main thing was that it was too embarrassing.
He glared at Tong Xuelu, who was smiling with schadenfreude, and became a puffer fish with anger.
**
The next day, Tong Xuelu took the brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin to go through the transfer procedures.
At this time, there is no requirement for school district housing, and there is no requirement for household registration. It is still very simple to transfer.
She took the recommendation letter and certificate from the school in Yanqing County and took the two to the school in the south of the city.
Although the procedures were not difficult, it took most of the day to wait for the bus, wait for the leaders' signatures, and complete a series of things.
Because she hadn't moved here yet, she helped the two to ask for leave from the school by the way. After a few days, everything settled down, and then came here to study.
After completing the transfer procedures, she came to the city by car on the third day with a military satchel on her back.
When she walked to the post office, Wen Rugui was already waiting for her at the door.
The sun was rising, and the golden sunlight was shining on his white shirt. His whole body seemed to be in the sunlight. The breeze was blowing, and the hair on his forehead was gently swaying in the wind, flashing with bits of golden light.
This man looks really good.
Tong Xuelu stood a meter away from him and looked at him with admiration in his eyes.
Wen Rugui seemed to realize that someone was looking at him, and turned his head subconsciously.
Facing Tong Xuelu's smiling apricot eyes.
Looking down, the red mole became more and more charming in the sunlight.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and stars overflowed from his eyes: "Hello, Comrade Tong."
"Hello, Comrade Wen, I'm so sorry to keep you waiting."
She deliberately went to take the bus early today, but she was unlucky and waited an hour longer than usual for a bus.
Wen Rugui said in a light voice, "No, I've only just come here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a postman came out of the post office and said to Wen Rugui, "Comrade, your friend is finally here?"
After he finished speaking, he didn't give Wen Rugui a chance to speak, his eyes fell on Tong Xuelu, and his eyes lit up: "Is this your target? No wonder you came here so early to wait for someone."
If he had such a beautiful object, he would come over early in the morning.
Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows and said, "Didn't you say you've just come here?"
The postman compares two fingers: "Where is it not long ago, your partner has been waiting for you here for two hours!"
"… "
Wen Rugui's ears turned red again, and they were pink in the sun.
Tong Xuelu looked at his red ears and couldn't help raising the corners of his lips.
**
Afraid that the postman would say something inappropriate, Wen Rugui hurriedly took Tong Xuelu to see the house.
This time, he came over on a bicycle, carrying Tong Xuelu along in the wind.
Only half an hour later, when the bicycle stopped in front of a small courtyard, Tong Xuelv was stunned.
She looked at the small courtyard in front of her and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Is this the house you're talking about?"
Wen Rugui's eyelashes trembled and nodded: "Well, because no one lives there for several years, I came with Uncle Zong to clean it yesterday, and the repaired areas have also been repaired, you can live in if you help me. ."
Saying that, he took out the key and opened the wooden door: "Come in, do you like this layout?"
Tong Xuelu followed and walked in.
The yard is very clean, and the weeds in the corners have been cleaned up.
A osmanthus tree was planted in the center of the yard. The fragrance of osmanthus in August was blown by the breeze, and the rich fragrance was refreshing.
Wen Rugui led the way and introduced: "There are four rooms in total. The kitchen and toilet are independent. You have four brothers and sisters. You can each have a room, or you can make one of the rooms into a study."
Seeing that Tong Xuelu didn't say anything, he looked back at her: "what do you think of this house?"
Tong Xuelu nodded: "Very good! By the way, this house was left unoccupied before, haven't you thought about selling it?"
Wen Rugui shook his head: "No."
Tong Xuelu looked at the man in front of her.
When I saw him for the first time, I was amazed by his face, and at the same time, I was aware of his distant and polite aura.
Later, when we met again, I found that he was as innocent as a young boy.
Now, she thinks he's stupid, so cute.
This house was the one she saw last time when she went to the housing management office. He was obviously lying.
This house should have been bought by him at the housing management office after they separated the day before yesterday, but he told her that it was a house that existed before.
If you want to be nice to her, you have to find so many excuses.
Silly.
Wen Rugui was a little uncomfortable when she looked at her: "What's the matter? Is there no dirt on my face?"
Tong Xuelu shook his head and did not expose his lies: "Thank you Comrade Wen, I like this house very much!"
Wen Rugui: "You're welcome."
Tong Xuelu's red lips hooked, and a shallow pear vortex appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Okay, I'll be polite, but Comrade Wen can't be polite to me either. Come over when you have time, and I'll make fish for you."
Under the sun, her skin was almost translucent, as tender and juicy as a peeled lychee.
Wen Rugui touched the twinkling light in her eyes, her heart beating like thunder.
Her smile was so sweet, as if she had put a candy in someone's mouth.
When the sugar melts, the corners of the mouth can't help but rise.
"Okay, I'm welcome."
Wen Rugui wanted to rent it to her for five yuan a month.
Tong Xuelu naturally refused to take advantage of this, and finally made the transaction at 12 yuan per month.
It is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, Tong Xuelv decided to move today.
Wen Rugui offered to help, and said he could get a jeep.
This is the best thing, and Tong Xuelu will naturally not refuse.
So the two split up.
Wen Rugui went to get a car, and then went to Yanqing County to help her move, while Tong Xuelv took the car back to pack up.
Just when Tong Xuelu got in the car back to Yanqing County, Tong's mother also got into the car driven by the eldest son and drove to the farm where Tong Zhenzhen was.
