Warm like home
He is back
Only then did Tong Xuelu open the door, and saw Wen Rugui standing in the doorway, all dressed in dust, with a haggard face and a lot of weight.
Wen Rugui looked at her, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
The bright moon is like water, and her eyes are sparkling, as if moistened with water, making her look more and more charming.
Tong Xuelu hooked her lips: "Comrade Wen, when did you come back?"
"this afternoon."
Wen Rugui spoke with difficulty, and his voice sounded a little more hoarse than before.
So sticky? Come find her as soon as you come back.
It's like a little puppy.
Tong Xuelu's smile grew stronger: "Come in, Comrade Wen hasn't eaten yet, right?"
Wen Rugui's ears warmed, and she shook her head: "Not yet."
At that time, he called Park Jianyi, and after hearing what happened to Tong's family, he rushed over as soon as he got hot.
When he got out of the car and the wind blew, he woke up and felt that he was a little too impulsive for this trip.
But the person has already arrived in the city, and after thinking about it, he still came.
Tong Xuelu closed the wooden door and said with a smile, "Then you have a good time, we are making dumplings."
She was so tired that she didn't want to eat anything, but when she thought of the food she made, Wen Rugui couldn't help swallowing.
The two walked to the living room side by side, the moonlight shone on them, and the shadows on the ground grew longer and shorter.
Wen Rugui cleared his throat and said, "I heard about your family. I'm sorry I couldn't help."
Turns out he was here for this.
Tong Xuelu looked up at him: "No, you have helped me a lot, thank you Comrade Wen!"
Park Jianyi took his face to help him investigate Ma Mei's husband. If she was asked to investigate by herself, the matter would definitely not be resolved so quickly.
The breeze blew and lifted the broken hair on her forehead, and her eyes stared straight at him, bright and warm.
Wen Rugui felt that his heartbeat started to speed up again, his eyelashes trembled slightly and said, "No thanks, are your two brothers back to school now?"
Tong Xuelv nodded: "the school matter has also been resolved, the two of them will go back to school tomorrow."
As for the bear child Jiang Ming and his grandfather, it's not that she doesn't want to teach them a lesson, but her ability is limited.
When you are not as capable as the other party, acting rashly will only hurt yourself.
Wen Rugui heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and then his heart thumped again.
Before he came over, he didn't know that she had settled the matter. He came so rashly, would she think he was too abrupt
Tong Xuelu didn't know his tangled mental activities at this time, thinking that he would make some sugar water to moisten his throat later.
Wei Zhiguo brought back a lot of Shanxue pears from his old comrades in the countryside. He also had a little yellow rock candy at home, just in time to make him a rock candy stewed Sydney.
The two went into the house thinking about their own thoughts.
Tong Jiaming's brothers and sisters were no strangers to Wen Rugui, so they called out to brother in unison.
Tong Mianmian was more familiar with Wen Rugui. As soon as she saw Wen Rugui, she climbed down from the chair and handed over the candy in her pocket: "Brother eat candy."
Before Wen Rugui spoke, Tong Jiaxin called out, "Mianmian, why don't you give the third brother candy if you have any?"
Tong Mianmian's little face turned red, she twisted her body and said, "Brother likes candy."
Tong Jiaxin is not convinced: "third brother also likes candy!"
Tong Mianmian's big eyes blinked: "but third brother, you don't look good."
The implication is that you are ugly and you are not worthy of sugar.
Tong Jiaxin: "… "
I'm worried, sister! !
With a smile in Wen Rugui's eyes, she rubbed her little head and said, "Brother doesn't eat it, you eat it yourself."
Tong Xuelu went to the kitchen and poured him a glass of water: "Sit here for a while, I'll cook the dumplings, it will be ready soon."
Wen Rugui took the water and said thank you to her in a hoarse voice.
Suddenly, his mind flashed, remembering the last time she said that the man who can cook is an unusual man, he drank the water and said, "I'll wash my hands to help together."
Tong Xuelu didn't care, picked up a plate of dumplings and went to the kitchen.
The water in the pot had boiled, and she threw the dumplings directly into it to cook.
Taking advantage of this idle time, she took the opportunity to stew Sydney with rock sugar.
She took out two mountain pears, washed and peeled them, cut them into pieces, removed the cores, and added water and rock sugar to a small pot for stew.
By the time she cooked the dumplings and asked Tong Jiaming and the two brothers to bring them to the kitchen together, Wen Rugui had already made a lot of dumplings.
The dumplings he made were surprisingly good-looking. They were plump and not broken, and they could be made into several shapes, including Yuanbao dumplings, clam dumplings, and crescent moon dumplings.
Tong Xuelu put the plate on the table, smiled and said, "Comrade Wen's craftsmanship is not bad."
Wen Rugui's heart skipped a beat, and she said calmly, "Dumplings are made at home during the Chinese New Year, and you will learn how to make them a few times."
Tong Xuelu smiled and nodded: "It's so well wrapped, Comrade Wen, let's wash your hands and eat dumplings."
Wen Rugui wrapped the dumplings in his hand and put them down, and replied, "Okay."
When he turned around and walked out of the living room, the corners of his lips rose unconsciously.
Tong Xuelu put away the uncooked dumplings and put them in the kitchen, and then everyone ate them together.
Tong Mianmian picked up a dumpling with a spoon and brought it to her sister's mouth, her big eyes flickering: "Sister eat it!"
"Mianmian is so nice, my sister has dumplings, you can eat them yourself."
When making dumplings, she deliberately made a lot of small dumplings, which were suitable for small dumplings. Too big dumplings were afraid that she would burn herself.
Tong Mianmian was not disappointed, she put the dumpling in her mouth and took a big bite, so delicious that her eyes narrowed.
Tong Xuelu's heart trembled when she saw her cute appearance.
The little guy is really cute and caring. If he has something delicious, he will always keep a copy for her.
Wen Rugui tilted her head to watch the two sisters interact, a trace of warmth flashed across her dark eyes.
Tong Jiaxin on the other end couldn't care less about the hot dumplings.
Tong Xuelu's dumpling skins are thin and good, and it is not difficult to bite after cooking, but the skins are so thin that none of them burst after cooking.
The Sanxian stuffing is mixed with fat and thin pork, and the fragrance of mushrooms and carrots is combined with the crispness of fungus. When you bite down, the rich soup pours into your mouth, so fresh that you almost eat your tongue.
Wen Rugui was so tired that he had no appetite at first, but when he smelled the pungent aroma, he looked at the round dumplings and dipped them in the vinegar-infused sauce, which instantly made his appetite open.
Accidentally, he ate two big bowls.
After eating, Tong Jiaming went to the Wei's house next door to deliver raw dumplings. Tong Mianmian kicked his short legs and walked over together. Tong Jiaxin consciously went to wash the dishes.
There were only two of them left in the living room.
Under the light, Tong Xuelu's cheeks were as red as rouge, her lips were rosy and shiny, and the red mole at the end of her eyes was more similar in color to her lips.
Wen Rugui only glanced at her, then quickly looked away: "It's getting late, I'm leaving."
Tong Xuelu: "Wait a minute, I just made you stewed Sydney pears with rock sugar, it should be ready now, I'll bring it over."
Wen Rugui stood up: "I'll go."
"Need not."
Tong Xuelu moved neatly, turned around and walked out of the living room after speaking, and quickly brought over the ice candy Sydney.
Wen Rugui's ears were slightly red: "I'm really bothering you."
He felt more and more as if he had come here to eat, not to trouble her.
Tong Xuelu put the bowl on the table: "Bingtang Sydney has the effect of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs. You drink it while it's hot, and you have to eat less spicy food when you go back."
Wen Rugui responded and took a sip of the sugar water.
Sweet, sweet from the mouth to the heart.
After eating, Wen Rugui didn't dare to delay any longer and got up to leave.
Tong Xuelv stood up and looked at the night outside, and suddenly said, "Would you like Comrade Wen to rest here today?"
Wen Rugui was suffocated, and the travel bag in her hand almost fell to the ground.
He raised his eyes and looked at her, and his mouth responded in his brain: "Okay."
This "OK" landed, and his body was stiff there.
How could he agree so easily
He shouldn't have stayed, and if others found out, it would be bad for her reputation.
But he just agreed.
What the hell!
"Jia Xin sleeps with his brother. No one lives in his room. You sleep in his room tonight."
Saying that, she led the way in front of him.
Wen Rugui followed slowly.
He looked at her slender figure from behind, and only one line of words floated back and forth in his mind: Tonight they are going to live under one roof!
Seeing that he hadn't caught up, Tong Xuelu couldn't help but turn around curiously, and then she saw Wen Rugui's hands and feet, and her expression was in a trance.
The corner of her mouth twitched, and she almost couldn't help laughing.
The reason why she asked him to rest here tonight was because the dark circles under his eyes were too serious and his face was very tired.
As soon as he came back, he rushed over to care about her affairs. It was so late that she couldn't bear to let him walk back to the military compound.
Of course, she could lend him the bicycle, but from here back to the military compound, there was no street light for a long time, and the road was not easy to walk. When he was so tired, it was best not to walk at night.
Unexpectedly, it made him nervous.
Tong Xuelu took him to Tong Jiaxin's room, where there were extra quilts and pillows, all washed and dried.
"There is hot water in the pot. If you want to take a bath now, you can wash it."
"it is good."
**
Jiao Yunshi went out with a bag of Fat Dahai, and brought it back soon after.
When Zhong Shulan saw it, she couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't I ask you to send Fat Dahai to Comrade Wen? Why didn't you go?"
Jiao Yunshi said: "Go, he is not in the dormitory."
Jiao Bozhen came back from taking a bath outside, and when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "Rugui is not in the dormitory?"
Jiao Yunshi nodded: "Comrade Zhou next to his dormitory said that he never went back, and he should have returned to the city."
Hearing this, Jiao Bozhen frowned even more: "He's been running back and forth for more than ten days, and his voice is hoarse. Why don't he take a good rest."
Zhong Shulan also frowned: "Could it be that Mr. Wen told him to go back?"
Jiao Bozhen thought for a while and nodded: "It should be like this, Rugui that child is very filial."
Zhong Shulan agreed with this: "He is indeed a very good child. I really owe it to him for this trip, otherwise Yunshi would not be able to take care of me and her grandfather alone."
Jiao Bozhen naturally knew that he was a very good student. He looked cold and not easy to approach, but his heart was actually the warmest.
Zhong Shulan glanced at her daughter and said, "Yunshi, hurry up and take a bath and rest. You can send the things to Comrade Wen when he returns."
Jiao Yunshi pursed her lips, nodded and went back to the room to get her clothes.
When she went out with her clothes, Zhong Shulan and her husband sat down on the chair hand in hand.
After the two confided their feelings to each other, Zhong Shulan asked, "By the way, does your student Wen Rugui have a partner now?"
Jiao Bozheng paused and shook his head: "No, why are you asking this?"
Zhong Shulan: "What do you think of him and our daughter Yunshi?"
Jiao Bozhen glanced at her and said nothing.
If it weren't for these ten years, his freedom was not restricted because of his status as a Ph.D., and his wife and father-in-law were not sent to the bullpen because of their status as capitalists.
But now, one of them is in the sky and the other is on the ground.
Mr. Wen is a colonel of the Air Force and a former commander of the Air Force. He has won numerous military exploits in his life, including first-class merit and special merit, and was awarded the title of "First-Class Combat Hero" before his retirement.
Wen Rugui's father, Wen Yuanwu, was a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force. He also made numerous military exploits during his lifetime. The other children of the Wen family are now all successful in the army.
If Wen Rugui had gone to the army at the beginning, his achievements must have surpassed his father's now.
Such a family is not something they can look up to.
Although he is Wen Rugui's teacher, he can't say that he is a good match for his daughter.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhong Shulan sighed: "I know that many of us are too late to avoid our current status, and we can't compare with the Wen family, but Yunshi is already twenty years old. I'm afraid it will be harder to find."
Speaking of which, Zhong Shulan couldn't help but reddened her eyes.
Her daughter followed them to the cowshed at a young age. Before she was twelve years old, she began to pick dung and was criticized and spat on. Thinking of the old days, her heart is still like a knife.
Jiao Bozhen watched his wife cry and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears: "Don't cry, it will be bad for Yunshi to see it."
Zhong Shulan said in a choked voice: "Okay, I won't cry, I just feel bad in my heart, it's us who have implicated Yunshi."
Jiao Bozhen felt uncomfortable, and sighed deeply.
Jiao Yunshi stood outside the door with red eyes.
She originally came back to get the soap, but it is not easy to go back now, so she turned and walked away with red eyes.
**
Tong Jiaming and his siblings have no opinion on Wen Rugui's stay at home.
These days, relatives and friends often come to the house to borrow or stay overnight, so they react calmly to this matter.
After the brothers and sisters took a bath, they went back to their rooms to sleep.
Wen Rugui thought that he would definitely not be able to sleep tonight, but his body was so exhausted that he fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.
The brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin went back to school on the first day, but Tong Xuelv did not go with them.
She didn't want to protect them too well because of her appearance, so that they lost their exercise and couldn't be the big guy like in the book.
Originally, she was going to go back to work at the state-run hotel today, but because Wen Rugui never woke up, she had to ask for one more day off.
Wen Rugui slept until almost noon before waking up. He saw the bright light outside the window, and his heart skipped a beat.
He picked up the watch beside the pillow and looked at it: it was eleven-fifteen.
The tips of his ears instantly turned red.
It's so careless, why did he sleep for so long
Wen Rugui quickly got up, changed clothes and came out. At a glance, he saw Tong Xuelu who was kicking the shuttlecock in the yard.
Tong Xuelu was obviously a master at kicking the shuttlecock.
She was so agile that one could not take one's eyes off her like a lark dancing among the trees.
Tong Mianmian patted her little paw by the side: "Sister is amazing!"
Tong Xuelu stretched out his hand to catch the shuttlecock, rested his feet on the ground at the same time, and said to Tong Mianmian, "Come on, you have a try."
Tong Mianmian held the shuttlecock made of copper coins and chicken feathers, and sipped his mouth seriously.
She stretched out her short hand and threw the shuttlecock into the air like her sister, and kicked out a short leg at the same time.
"Clap" sound.
She fell to the ground and the shuttlecock fell, right on top of her head.
The little dumpling's big black grape-like eyes blinked, and his eyes were red: "Sister, Mianmian is so stupid."
Seeing her cute look, Tong Xuelu almost couldn't help laughing: "Mianmian is not stupid, Mianmian is too young, when Mianmian grows up, he can kick very hard."
Tong Mianmian tilted her head and said in a milky voice, "Can you be as powerful as elder sister?"
Tong Xuelu picked her up and kissed her tender white face: "Of course, we are so beautiful, we must be as smart as my sister!"
The little dumpling's heart was healed, and he nodded his head heavily: "En, Sister Zhuzhu also said that Mianmian is beautiful."
Immediately, she frowned and said worriedly, "What about the third brother?"
The third brother is not good-looking and must not be smart.
Tong Xuelu understood her meaning in seconds, and laughed until her stomach hurt.
Tong Jiaxin, who was at school, sneezed.
Tong Xuelv picked up the little dumplings, and then saw Wen Rugui who was standing at the door staring blankly at them.
"Comrade Wen, are you awake?"
Wen Rugui came back to his senses, and the tips of his ears were slightly red: "I'm sorry, I'm up late."
After a night's rest, his voice sounded a little better than yesterday, but still hoarse.
"It's okay, I'll cook dumplings for you."
Tong Xuelu said, put Tong Mianmian down, and walked into the kitchen.
She moved neatly and quickly cooked him a bowl of green vegetable dumplings.
After eating, Wen Rugui said goodbye again.
Tong Xuelv sent him to the door, and seemed to say something unintentionally: "Comrade Wen, I like the 'True Liang' you gave me last time, thank you."
Wen Rugui: "No thanks."
Tong Xuelu's red lips twitched, and Xingmu looked at him: "I made a dress from 'True Liang'. Next time I will wear it for you to see Comrade Wen?"
Wen Rugui looked at the smile at the corner of her mouth, her eyelashes trembling.
Tong Xuelu looked at his ear subconsciously, and the curvature of the corner of his mouth became thicker.
Sure enough, his ears turned red again.
This man is so innocent!
When Wen Rugui left, they once again joined hands and feet.
**
Wen Rugui did not return to the base directly, nor did he return to the military compound.
He went to the Public Security Bureau where Park Jianyi was.
Seeing him coming, Pu Jianyi laughed twice: "I knew you would come!"
The guy called him as soon as he came back. After hearing about Tong Xuelu, he hung up the phone without saying a word. He thought he had called back yesterday.
Wen Rugui pretended not to understand what he said, and said indifferently: "By the way, you said on the phone yesterday that the teacher surnamed Ma, she dared to do that because a relative is the director of the Education Bureau?"
Pu Jianyi raised his eyebrows: "If you return, what do you mean? Don't you want to help Comrade Tong vent your anger?"
Wen Rugui pursed her lips: "Just tell me their relationship."
As soon as these words came out, Park Jianyi knew what he meant.
In fact, Park Jianyi did not approve of his meddling in this matter.
But he also knew that with Wen Rugui's personality, once he decided to do the same thing, no one could persuade him to come back.
So, he analyzed the relationship between Ma Mei and the Jiang family to him.
After Wen Rugui listened, he lifted the travel bag again: "Thank you, I see."
Pu Jianyi clicked his tongue: "If you come home, don't you think you pay too much attention to Comrade Tong?"
Wen Rugui's eyelashes trembled slightly, but he didn't say a word.
The door of the office was open, and someone came over at any time, and Pu Jianyi didn't plan to continue talking about this topic.
He changed the subject and said, "When you went to the northwest side this time, did you bring back any specialties?"
Wen Rugui: "brought two persimmons and dog head dates."
Pu Jianyi laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth but his eyes: "If you have a little conscience, hurry up and give it to me."
Wen Rugui: "I forgot about you."
Pu Jianyi was startled: "you shouldn't give your grandpa a copy, buy a copy for Comrade Tong, and you didn't buy mine at all?!"
Wen Rugui gave a "um" and walked out of the office with a travel bag.
Park Jianyi: "..."
So he has helped so much, isn't even a persimmon worthy of eating
So angry!
