After Tong Xuelv returned home, Tong Jiaming and others hadn't come back.
Wei Zhiguo took Wei Zhuzhu to visit his old comrades in the countryside today, and before leaving, he asked Tong Jiaming and his siblings if they wanted to go with them.
Since the Wei family knew what happened to their family, they always thought of ways and excuses to bring them food. These Tong family members saw it.
Wei Zhiguo is a reliable person, and the country he went to is not far away. Tong Xuelv felt that Tong Jiaming and the others staying at home all day is not the same thing, and going out to relax is also good, so let them make their own decisions.
Tong Jiaxin and Tong Mianmian quarreled about going out to play, and in the end Tong Jiaming could only follow them to take care of the two of them.
Tong Xuelu saw that it was still early, so she took the "really good" cloth that Wen Rugui gave her last time, and went out to Wei's house.
Shen Wanrong was bored at home alone, when she saw Tong Xuelu coming over, a bright smile appeared on her face.
"Oh, someone finally came to talk to me. I'm really not used to Zhuzhu not being at home today."
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "I was supposed to come a few days ago, but something happened at home, so I have time to come here now."
Shen Wanrong welcomed her into the house: "You can come anytime, I'm free anyway. By the way, what kind of fabric do you want to make? A dress, or a shirt and pants?"
Tong Xuelu thought about it and said, "Let's make it into a dress."
Although it is still very conservative, it is OK for dresses to be below the knee.
And by the end of the ten-year event in October next month, the situation will become more and more clear and open, so it is not a problem for her to wear a dress.
Shen Wanrong smiled and nodded: "Young girls should dress beautifully. I especially liked wearing skirts when I was young, and now I'm old."
Tong Xuelu: "Grandma Shen still has her charm and she is not old at all. The first time I saw Grandma Shen, I thought you were a girl of twenty-eight!"
Shen Wanrong laughed until the tiny wrinkles at the corners of her eyes came out, and hit her with a smile: "You child likes to talk nonsense, which twenty-eight girl should cry like me!"
Although Tong Xuelu's words were a bit exaggerated, Shen Wanrong did look very young, someone who was almost sixty years old, looked less than fifty years old.
There was a room in the Wei family that was specially made for Shen Wanrong as a dressing room.
The dressing room is bright and spacious, with a Peony sewing machine in it.
This year, a sewing machine costs about 130 yuan, which ordinary people can't afford. The Wei family is really rich.
Shen Wanrong took out a ruler to measure her size. When she measured her waist, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Your waist is really thin, it's half an inch smaller than when I was young!"
What she hasn't said yet is that her breasts are not small and her figure is uneven. If she wears a cheongsam with this waist-to-chest ratio, she will definitely look good!
It's a pity that no one dares to wear a cheongsam now, and you can't even mention it. It's a pity.
After measuring the size, Shen Wanrong discussed the style with Tong Xuelv again.
After everything was confirmed, she talked about the two brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin being expelled from school.
"The female teacher has been arrested, so Jiaming and the others should be able to go back to school, right?"
Tong Xuelv nodded: "Yes, but we have to wait."
Shen Wanrong glanced at her: "If you need help with anything, just tell me that my old Wei has many friends in Beijing, and they can all help."
In fact, she didn't quite understand what Tong Xuelu said, but she could see that Tong Xuelu was a very assertive child, so she didn't ask if the other party didn't want to say it.
Tong Xuelu smiled and thanked again: "Thank you grandma Shen, if there is a need, I will not be polite to you."
Although there are disgusting people like Ma Mei and Tan Xiaoyan in the world, there are also lovely and kind people like the Wei family.
After chatting for a while, the sunset gradually dyed the sky red.
Tong Xuelv stood up and was about to say goodbye when suddenly there was a loud cry from the yard.
The cry sounded like Wei Zhuzhu's voice.
Tong Xuelv and Shen Wanrong were startled, especially Shen Wanrong, who rushed out as soon as the thing in her hand was lost.
When she came to the yard, she saw Wei Zhuzhu raised her head and cried into tears from a distance. Wei Zhiguo, the grandfather, was coaxing her, but the effect was obviously not very good.
When Tong Xuelu followed up and saw Wei Zhuzhu's hair, she suddenly gasped, and goosebumps all over her body.
I saw Wei Zhuzhu's hair was covered with cyan caterpillars, so full that she almost suffocated!
It's strange that someone as soft as Shen Wanrong is not afraid of caterpillars at this moment!
While helping her granddaughter catch caterpillars, she scolded Wei Zhiguo: "How did you take care of the child? How did she get her cocklebur into her hair?"
Wei Zhiguo looked innocent: "I just blinked and didn't stare at her, she pierced her cocklebur all over her head!"
Xanthium
Tong Xuelu was stunned, isn't that a caterpillar
She noticed now that the "caterpillar" on Wei Zhuzhu's head didn't move.
She walked in and saw that it was not a caterpillar, but a thorny cyan plant seed, the size of half a small tail finger, which looked very similar to a caterpillar from a distance.
Shen Wanrong carefully helped her granddaughter to pull off the cocklebur, but no matter how careful she was, her hair would inevitably be pulled, and Wei Zhuzhu burst into tears when it hurt.
Tong Jiaxin grinned: "Grandma Shen, Zhuzhu said she wanted to make a flower crown for herself, and she inserted the cocklebur into her hair."
Tong Mianmian's little head focused heavily, and she said in a milky voice, "Sister Zhuzhu said it would be very beautiful!"
After she finished speaking, she saw Tong Xuelu walking over, her eyes lit up immediately, and she ran over with her short legs.
"elder sister!"
Tong Xuelv hugged the little dumpling who rushed over, checked her hair, and breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see the cocklebur.
Wei Zhuzhu was screamed and screamed: "It's so hard to be beautiful..."
She just wants to be more beautiful, why is she QAQing her like this.
When everyone heard this and looked at her cocklebur, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
**
When Fang Jingyuan returned to the backyard, she did not go home immediately, but went to Tong's house first.
Chen Yueling was startled when she saw her: "Jingyuan, is it you? How did your hair get like this?"
Fang Jingyuan smugly touched her hair: "I just had it cut, sister-in-law Yueling, do you think I'm so pretty?"
Chen Yueling looked at her hair and face several times, and nodded again and again: "You look good, you look better than before, but I almost didn't recognize you!"
When Fang Jingyuan heard this, the smile on her face became even brighter: "This is designed by Xuelv for me, and I also think it looks good!"
"Xuelu? Did you go to see Xuelu?"
Chen Yueling widened her eyes.
Fang Jingyuan nodded: "Didn't her two brothers be expelled from school? My mother asked me to ask her if she needed help."
Chen Yueling's face heated up when she heard this.
They were once the closest relatives of Tong Xuelu, but this time when something happened to her, none of their Tong family went to see her.
She and her husband wanted to go over and say hello, but her mother-in-law wouldn't let them go.
Fang Jingyuan didn't notice her face, she handed over two packs of dim sum and money and said, "The dim sum was bought by Xue Lu, and she gave the money too. She said that it was borrowed from you before, and I brought it here, so I'm leaving. "
She is anxious to go back and show her beautiful hairstyle to her family.
"Jingyuan, wait, this money is too much!"
Chen Yueling took the money and counted it and found that there was an extra 20 yuan. At first, they only collected 80 yuan for Tong Xuelv to take away.
"Then I don't care, you can return it to her later."
Fang Jingyuan ran away without looking back.
Chen Yueling took the snacks and money, and felt more and more guilty in her heart.
People from the Fang family were all surprised when they saw Fang Jingyuan's hairstyle, just like Chen Yueling, but they all agreed that this hairstyle suits her very well.
Fang's mother knew that Tong Xuelu didn't ask her for help, and instead brought snacks to the Fang family, she sighed: "I said before that Xuelu's child is not bad, if it hadn't happened, she might be our Fang family now. daughter-in-law!"
Fang Wenyuan, who was sitting on the sofa, pursed his lips when he heard this.
Fang Jingyuan pouted: "She's just like that, but compared to before, she's really a little bit better, at least her mouth isn't that annoying."
"By the way, Xue Lu asked me to help spread the word about her brother being bullied by that teacher. I have promised her that you will also help spread the word."
Seeing that she helped herself get such a beautiful hairstyle, she must publicize it well!
Mother Fang said: "That child is also a poor person. It is also necessary to help her promote it. I will tell everyone when I go to the unit tomorrow."
Although Father Fang is not a person who likes to gossip, he also felt that the teacher and the school were doing something wrong, so he should help.
Only Fang Wenyuan did not make a statement.
Fang Jingyuan didn't let him go: "Brother, remember to publicize when you go to the unit tomorrow!"
Fang Wenyuan gave a "hmm" and agreed.
Fang Jingyuan was still not at ease, so she leaned over and whispered, "Brother, you don't have to worry about Xue Lu's pestering you like before. I asked her just now, and she said that she does treat you like shit!"
Fang Wenyuan: "..."
**
The next day, Fang Jingyuan once again became the focus of everyone's attention when she went to the art troupe.
People from the art troupe chirped and asked her how she remembered this hairstyle and where she cut it.
Fang Jingyuan pushed Tong Xuelu out.
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised again: "Jingyuan, haven't you and Tong Xuelv always been incompatible? Why are you so good all of a sudden?"
Fang Jingyuan curled her lips and said, "Who is incompatible with her? Tong Xuelu used to have a very annoying mouth, so I couldn't help but scolded her, but she is better now, not the same as before, otherwise she would not be the same. Will help me design such a beautiful hairstyle!"
The original owner was also a member of the art troupe before, but his temperament was too self-willed and proud, and he did not get along well with the people of the art troupe.
Everyone was surprised and curious when they heard Fang Jingyuan's words.
"Jingyuan, she really designed your hairstyle for you? If I let her do it for me, would she not be willing?"
Fang Jingyuan: "I can help you talk about this, but she is in trouble now. If you can help her, it will be much easier to ask her to design your hairstyle when you turn around and ask her!"
Everyone quickly asked: "What help?"
Fang Jingyuan told the story that Ma Mei deliberately embarrassed Tong Xuelu's two younger brothers and encouraged the school to expel them.
Ma Mei has recently become a celebrity in Beijing. Even a three-year-old child knows her name, as do the people in the art troupe.
After hearing Fang Jingyuan's words, they couldn't help but be filled with righteous indignation.
"That woman is so shameless!"
"That's right, I'll help with this, even if Tong Xuelu doesn't design my hairstyle, I'll help!"
"Me too!"
Fang Jingyuan saw that everyone wanted to help, her admiration for Tong Xuelu had reached its peak.
Tong Xuelu taught her those words just now. She said that as long as she said what she said, everyone would be willing to help publicize it.
At that time, she was still a little unbelievable, but she didn't expect that she would really tell her!
She felt that Tong Xuelu had really changed a lot, completely different from before.
After the rest of the Fang family went to the unit, they also helped spread the word.
After Chen Yueling heard the wind, she secretly told her husband that the two of them also helped with the publicity.
As a result, rumors of Chengnan Elementary School covering up Ma Mei and expelling students indiscriminately spread like this.
All mouths are full of gold!
The power of human words is sometimes greater than the power of real guns and live ammunition, killing people invisibly.
The leaders of the school quickly got wind of it, and they were so angry that they almost had a myocardial infarction.
Since Ma Mei was arrested, the school wanted to erase all traces of Ma Mei and draw a clear line with her.
Unexpectedly, such a rumor suddenly came out, saying that they were covering up Ma Mei, and it was killing them!
If rumors spread to the top, they won't be slapped down by then, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get promoted in the future!
The principal hurriedly called an emergency meeting to discuss how to solve the problem.
After some intense discussion, I finally came up with a solution, that is - let the brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin hurry back to school to go to school.
As long as they go back to school to go to school, the rumors will naturally be broken.
So the principal sent the dean to go to Tong's house in person.
When the dean of education received this task, a cold sweat broke out on his head.
Thinking of Tong Jiaming's sister, he felt that this mission would not be so easy to complete.
Sure enough, when he came to Tong's house for the first time, he ate a soft nail.
Tong Xuelv didn't have a trace of joy on his face when he heard that he told Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaming to go back to school.
Instead, he said calmly: "Thank you Director for coming in person, but I have decided to take my two younger brothers back to my hometown to study."
The dean's forehead sweated again: "Comrade Tong, are the educational resources in your hometown comparable to those in Beijing? Smart people won't go back!"
Tong Xuelu hooked her lips and sneered: "The educational resources in my hometown are indeed not comparable to those in Beijing, but the school is fair and just, and it won't beat students at every turn, and it won't even fire students at every turn!"
Dean:"… "
The dean of education came in embarrassed and went away embarrassed.
When he returned to school and reported the situation to the principal, he was immediately scolded.
"You can't use your brain. They are holding their breath now, and they will definitely not come back. You told them in the past that as long as they are willing to go back to school, their two brothers will be free of tuition and book fees in the future, and the school will give them money. !"
With the words of the principal, the dean of education came to Tong's house again.
He thought that Tong Xuelu would definitely agree, but who knew that Tong Xuelu refused again.
He said all the good things, and she just insisted on going back to her hometown.
He almost knelt down for her!
The dean recalled that in order to ask Zhuge Liang to help him in ancient times, Liu Bei visited the hut three times, and he felt that he might not be able to do it.
The dean of the teaching staff returned again, and was scolded by the headmaster again.
The principal didn't want him to go because he was so useless, and sent two female teachers to be lobbyists.
Facing the two female teachers, Tong Xuelu's attitude improved a lot, but she still refused to agree.
However, their trip was not completely ineffective, at least Tong Xue lost half of her mouth.
She politely suggested that Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin were too far to go to school, and it would be nice if they had a bicycle.
The two female teachers took these words back to the principal, who slapped the table angrily: "Shameless!"
To take advantage of the opportunity for the lion to open his mouth is simply too shameless!
However, if you are angry, you still have to arrange a bicycle for the other party, because the rumors outside are getting worse and worse.
Some people even said that his principal and Ma Mei might have broken shoes, otherwise why would he let Ma Mei act like that
Hearing those rumors, the principal almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
In order to quell the rumors, the principal had to raise funds to buy a new Phoenix bicycle, so that he could send it to the Tong family quickly.
After receiving the bicycle, Tong Xuelv refused a few times, and then accepted the bicycle.
And promised to let Tong Jiaming two brothers go back to school on Monday the day after tomorrow.
As soon as the two female teachers left, Tong Jiaxin dashed over and circled the bicycle with eyes as bright as the stars in the night sky: "Sister, is this bicycle really ours?"
sister
This is the first time Tong Jiaxin called her sister.
Tong Xuelv raised his eyebrows calmly, nodded and said, "Well, I'll ride you and Jiaming to school in the future."
Tong Jiaming, who was standing aside, glanced at Tong Jiaxin and said nothing.
Tong Jiaxin cheered and ran around the yard like a little madman: "great! We have bicycles!"
Tong Mianmian didn't know what happened, but seeing her sisters and brothers happy, she was also happy.
She kicked her short legs and followed Tong Jiaxin, spread her chubby little arms, and shouted in a milky voice, "That's great... We have a car!"
Tong Xuelu: "don't be too happy, can you two ride a bicycle?"
Tong Jiaxin's cheering voice stopped abruptly: "I won't."
Tong Jiaming: "I won't either."
Tong Xuelu shrugged: "So, you won't be able to use this bike for a while."
However, for the two brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin, it is not a problem, and they will not go to school.
Bicycles are a luxury these days, and only a few people can afford them.
The Tong family suddenly had a bicycle, and Tong Jiaxin regarded it as a treasure.
In order to protect the bicycle, Tong Jiaxin also went to Wei's house next door to learn the scriptures.
Wei Zhiguo was amazed when he knew that the school gave them a bicycle in order to let the two brothers go back to school.
But in front of the child, he said nothing.
Just tell him that to keep the paint on the bike from fraying, tying the handlebars and cross tube of the bike with plastic straps.
After pouring out the experience, he also found a lot of plastic tapes to give to the Tong family.
When Tong Jiaxin received the plastic strap, he was so happy that his mouth grinned to the bottom of his ear. After thanking him, he went back with the plastic strap, and then wrapped the bicycle together with Tong Jiaming.
When Tong Xuelv came out of the kitchen after finishing lunch and saw the colorful bicycles, his eyes were almost blinded.
It's too ugly, isn't it
But seeing the two brothers so happy, she didn't say anything to disappoint.
After lunch, the two brothers did not take a lunch break, but practiced cycling in the alley.
At this time, the bicycles were heavy and big. Tong Jiaxin was only nine years old, and he was not tall, so he couldn't handle it at all.
On the other hand, Tong Jiaming could barely manage it.
Tong Jiaming is worthy of being a future business genius. He learns things very fast. By sunset, he can already ride his bicycle crookedly.
**
After two days and two nights on the train, Wen Rugui and his party finally arrived in Beijing.
Zhong Shulan returned to her heart like an arrow. Since she got on the train, she hardly closed her eyes.
Thinking of seeing her husband soon, she didn't feel tired at all. After confirming that her father was in good health, the group hurriedly drove to the base again.
Jiao Bozhen received a call two days ago and knew that they were coming back today, but he couldn't step out of the base without the organization's permission.
Since waking up at three in the morning, he has been restless and in a state of excitement.
It has been ten years, and he has not seen his wife and daughter for ten years!
My daughter was only ten years old when she left him. I don't know what she looks like now
Everyone at the base knew that Director Jiao's wife and daughter were coming back, so they hurriedly helped arrange new accommodation, bought a lot of delicious food, and asked them to drive to the station to wait for someone to pick them up.
At noon, Wen Rugui and his party finally arrived at the base in the expectation of everyone.
Zhong Shulan was the first to get out of the car without anyone supporting her.
Jiao Bozhen was waiting at the entrance of the base, when he saw a haggard, skinny woman getting out of the car, his eyes suddenly became wet.
That is his wife.
It's just that he had never seen her like this. Before she was sent to the cowshed, she was brighter than a rose.
She looks like this now, like a knife piercing deep into his heart, piercing his heart.
He walked up quickly and held his wife's hand tightly: "Shu Lan, I finally see you!"
Zhong Shulan was also very sad when she saw her husband's appearance.
Fifteen years ago, they returned from across the Atlantic to support the country, but ten years ago, they were forced to separate.
After ten years of life and death, when we meet again, my husband has changed from a high-spirited young man to a little old man with pale temples now.
Tears flowed down her cheeks.
The people in the Jiao family cried, and the people at the base wiped away their tears when they saw this sad scene.
After everyone's emotions had stabilized, Jiao Bozhen only remembered Wen Rugui as a student.
"If you come home, thank you very much this time!"
The matter of picking up people should have been done by him, but he couldn't leave the base, and he couldn't be relieved to leave it to others. At this moment, Wen Rugui voluntarily stood up to pick up people for him.
He already knew from his wife that they were ill and delayed. If it wasn't for Wen Rugui's care and help, they would not have come back so soon.
Wen Rugui: "Teacher is serious, this is what I should do."
When he opened his mouth, Jiao Bozhen realized that his voice was hoarse, it was difficult to speak, and it was caused by being too tired.
Jiao Bozhen blamed himself: "You go back to rest quickly, don't be busy returning to the laboratory these two days, I will tell the dean in person about the leave."
Wen Rugui had been running back and forth for more than ten days and was really tired, so he nodded.
Saying that, he turned back to the dormitory.
An Yuemei came out of the office when she saw Wen Rugui, and quickly chased after him: "Comrade Wen, a comrade named Park called twice when you left, and asked you to call him as soon as you came back. "
Wen Rugui paused after hearing the words, then turned around and went to the telephone room to call Park Jianyi.
After hanging up the phone, he did not go back to the dormitory, but turned around and left the base.
To celebrate owning a bicycle and to celebrate the return of Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin to campus tomorrow, the Tong family will make dumplings for dinner tonight.
The family gathered around the living room to make dumplings together, and even the small dumpling Tong Mianmian also participated.
Tong Xue's green bag is definitely the best looking, there is no doubt about it.
Tong Jiaming didn't know how to wrap at first, but he has a strong learning ability. After a few observations, he quickly wrapped it up.
Tong Jiaxin's handicap was completely beyond Tong Xuelu's expectations. She thought that as a clothing designer, he must have a strong hands-on ability.
Who would have guessed that the dumplings he made were all crooked and ugly!
"The third brother's dumplings are ugly!"
Tong Mianmian is small, but he can't stand it anymore.
Tong Jiaxin dipped a handful of flour on her face: "you still have the face to say that your dumplings are uglier than mine!"
Tong Mianmian was aggrieved and said with a small mouth: "Third brother, your dumplings are ugly!"
Tong Jiaxin grimaced at her: "your dumplings are even uglier, as ugly as you!"
The two brothers and sisters quarreled. In the end, Tong Mianmian got angry and pouted, "Third brother, I won't give you shit and urine when I grow up!"
"Pfft-"
Tong Xuelu couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
Tong Jiaxin often told Tong Mianmian that he is taking care of her now, and when he is old, Tong Mianmian will take care of her back and feed him food, feces and urine, and Tong Mianmian agrees.
I just didn't expect that the two are quarreling now, and the little dumpling doesn't want to hold shit and pee anymore.
Tong Xuelv laughed until tears came out, and Tong Jiaming on the side also curved the corners of his mouth.
Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.
Several members of the Tong family were stunned.
Tong Xuelu wiped her hands clean and said, "I'll go out and open the door, you guys continue to make dumplings."
After she finished speaking, she walked out with her long legs.
When she came to the wooden door, she asked across the wooden door, "Who is it?"
There was silence outside the door, followed by a hoarse voice.
"It's me, Wen Rugui."
