On the day when the school started, Tong Xuelu rode a bicycle to the school to tell the teacher about Tong Jiaming after buying it.
Tong Jiaming's grades are obvious to all. His head teacher did not propose to let him skip grades, but originally wanted him to increase the school's admission rate.
I don't want him to offer to upgrade himself. Now that all the parents have come to the school, the class teacher can't stop or refuse.
What's more, Tong Xuelu was well-known among the teachers of Chengnan Primary School, and everyone dared not offend her easily.
The school said that it will contact Chengnan Middle School and arrange exams.
When I came out of the office, it suddenly started to drizzle outside.
Spring rain is as precious as oil, green shoots grow on the branches, dotted with dead branches, making people look like they see hope.
After the rain, the air with the fragrant soil blew in the wind, Tong Xuelu shivered, and was thinking about borrowing an umbrella from Jiang Danhong when she heard a conversation coming from the corner.
"Mr. Jiang, let me tell you that Comrade Lao An is really good. Although he is 20 years older than you, his three sons are all grown up. You can be a mother-in-law without having children after you marry. OK?"
"Mr. Qin, I already said that I don't want to remarry. Even if I want to remarry, I must marry someone I want to marry. Comrade Lao An, I don't think he is suitable."
"What's not suitable for you to make it clear, how can I explain to the other party if you don't make it clear?"
"The age is not suitable. I think he is too old, and his family is too complicated. I want to find a simpler family."
"I'm not telling you, Mr. Jiang, you should be self-aware. You've been married and you're not too young, and you have reported your uncle and husband. It's hard for someone like you to marry you. The reason why Lao An is willing to marry you, For the sake of your own house!"
Jiang Danhong's face flushed red: "No one wants to marry me, I don't want to marry yet, even if I won't marry anyone in my life, I won't fancy a man like that!"
The teacher surnamed Qin was scolded for a while, and he was so angry that he scolded and walked away.
"Count me nosy, I'll be struck by lightning if I care about your business in the future!"
"Just like you, you still want to find a young man, bah, if you don't have a house, even an 80-year-old man doesn't look down on you. If you're still not happy, then you can guard the house for the rest of your life and grow old alone!"
Jiang Danhong bit her lips tightly, her chest heaving violently with anger, but she turned around and met Tong Xuelv.
Tong Xuelu said a little embarrassedly: "Sister Dan Hong, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on purpose, I was here just now to take shelter from the rain."
Jiang Danhong waved his hand: "I don't blame you, anyway, you have seen me when I am embarrassed."
Tong Xuelu: "what's the matter with that teacher? Did you ask her to help introduce the object?"
It is very important whether the introducer is reliable or not. Some introducers are not only blind but also blind.
She remembered that an introducer introduced a blind date to a plastic sister before wearing the book.
The introducer said that the man is 1.8 meters tall and looks more handsome than the stars, and the plastic sisters are so excited. Who knows that when they meet, the other party is not 1.67 meters tall, and looks like a crooked melon and a cracked date.
Jiang Danhong shook her head, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes: "No, she introduced me to me. I said no, she still wanted me to meet."
Her popularity at school was not good, and she was afraid that her rejection would affect the relationship even more.
The man surnamed An was old enough to be her father, and he was just a factory guard. The key point was that he had three sons. As soon as they met, he said that he wanted the family to move to her house after marriage.
Before, she sold her uncle's house and bought another house in the city. Now she no longer lives in the school dormitory.
Tong Xuelv was also disgusted: "I think what you said just now is right, I'd rather never get married in my life than marry a garbage!"
No wonder there are so many women who are afraid of marriage and men in later generations. Apart from some men being disgusting, it is also because marriage cannot guarantee women's rights.
If Jiang Danhong really married that old An, not only would she have to serve an old man, but also their family, and the house would be occupied, what would she want
Is it because the other party is old enough and the other party is ugly enough
Hearing this, Jiang Danhong finally showed a smile on her face: "Xuelu, I found that you are really different from other people. You and Comrade Wen are both good people!"
In fact, she also longs for family warmth in her heart, but she doesn't want to find someone to marry casually.
The first marriage is forced, if she gets married again, she must find a man she likes and is willing to marry.
Tong Xuelu: "You are also very special. I believe that one day you will meet someone who is right for you."
Then Tong Xuelu followed Jiang Danhong's dormitory and borrowed an umbrella from her.
A few days later, there was news about Tong Jiaming's grade jump.
He was successfully admitted to Chengnan Middle School, and he can go directly to Chengnan Middle School to report from tomorrow.
After Tong Jiaxin knew the news, he was very depressed: "Second brother, can't I go to school with you in the future?"
Tong Jiaming nodded: "in the future, you have to go to school alone. You have to listen to the class carefully and not fight with others."
Tong Jiaxin pursed his lips and looked sullen.
Compared with Tong Mianmian, Tong Jiaxin is actually more attached to Tong Jiaming's brother, but he didn't show it because he was a boy.
When Tong Xuelu came home in the evening, he quickly learned the news.
She smiled and asked Tong Jiaming: "Have you thought about what reward you want?"
Tong Jiaming showed an embarrassed look: "I want a pair of white sneakers that pull back."
Tong Xuelv nodded without thinking: "Okay, you don't have to go to class on weekends, we'll go to the department store to buy it."
This year, a pair of white sneakers costs 8 yuan, which is a luxury item. It is also a very fashionable thing to own a pair of white sneakers.
The number of people in the school who can own white sneakers can be counted on one hand.
For the first time, Tong Jiaming's face showed the joy he should have at his age: "Thank you, sister!"
Tong Jiaxin is envious, and he really wants a pair of white sneakers.
But when he thought of his own achievements, he immediately fainted.
With his achievements, I'm afraid he won't even think about owning a pair of white sneakers in his life.
He can only wait for the second brother's feet to grow, and he picks up the second brother's shoes to wear.
Thinking of this, he was happy again.
Tong Xuelu was speechless when she saw that his face was like a Peking opera.
**
It's Lantern Festival.
In addition to the dumplings, Tong Xuelu also made some dumplings.
The dumplings are thin, wrapped with three fresh fillings, and they are round and round, looking very cute.
The spring bamboo shoots in the filling are crisp and delicious, the mushrooms are rich, mixed with the aroma of lard, and when you take a bite, the rich soup fills the whole mouth, and the fragrance is not good.
There are three kinds of fillings for the dumplings, namely sesame filling, peanut filling and bean paste filling.
The outer skin of the dumplings is soft and glutinous, and it melts in your mouth. When you bite through the outer skin, the filling inside flows out, filling your mouth with fragrance.
The Tong family siblings couldn't stop eating.
In previous years, they didn't eat glutinous rice balls during the Lantern Festival. The only time they made glutinous rice balls at home was that there was no filling in them. At the time, they thought it was delicious.
Tong Xuelu did a lot, not only gave it to the Wei family next door, but also gave some to Mr. Wen.
When Old Man Wen and Uncle Zong saw her bringing something, they both laughed so hard that they could not see their teeth.
Mr. Wen stuffed the New Year money he had prepared: "good boy, this is the New Year money for you."
Tong Xuelu: "Grandpa Wen, you have already given New Year's money during Chinese New Year."
Old man Wen waved his hand: "you don't know that. The custom of my hometown is to give New Year's money during the Lantern Festival. Take it quickly, or it will be unlucky."
Tong Xuelu: "..."
The old man is tricking her into giving her money.
Mr. Wen didn't let her refuse, and put the New Year's money into her hands.
Tong Xuelu couldn't refuse, so she had to accept the New Year's money.
She stayed at Wen's house for half an hour before returning.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she left with her front feet, she returned from the base with warm back feet.
Mr. Wen looked surprised: "Why are you back? Xuelu just left ten minutes ago. Didn't you meet her on the way?"
Wen Rugui was startled and shook his head: "No, I must have missed it."
"If you go home, Xuelv is such a good girl, you have to take good care of it, and quickly marry her back home."
Mr. Wen took a dumpling to dip it in vinegar, bit it in one bite, and his eyes almost narrowed due to the fragrance.
Usually when he said this, Wen Rugui either kept silent or said he wanted to ask Tong Xuelu's opinion.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking this time, he heard Wen Rugui say, "Grandpa, I want to propose to Tong's house."
"Clap" sound.
The dumpling in Mr. Wen's hand fell to the ground.
When he looked down, he was so distressed that he picked it up and wanted to continue eating, but seeing his grandson looking at him, he had to give up.
"What did you just say? Are you going to Tong's house to propose? "
Wen Rugui's ears turned slightly red: "Well, I came back this time to discuss with you."
Old man Wen was so happy that he didn't even eat the dumplings: "You stinky brat has finally come to his senses. I thought I would never be able to wait for your wedding wine in my life!"
Although he always yelled at him to get married and have great-grandchildren quickly, over the years, he was just shouting and never really tried to force him.
Thinking of what happened back then, how could he dare to force him
He also explained to Xiao Zong before that if he leaves one day, let him take good care of Wen Rugui for himself, and he doesn't want him to find someone he wants to marry.
Thinking of this, Mr. Wen couldn't help but feel a sore nose.
Uncle Zong on the side has secretly wiped away his tears.
Wen Rugui said softly, "I'm sorry, grandpa, for worrying you over the years."
Mr. Wen glared at him: "you know, you are a club!"
Wen Rugui: "… "
Mr. Wen: "If you want to marry, you must first ask Xuelu's opinion, and the old-fashioned old man in the northwest must also let him know."
Commander Xiao is now Tong Xuelu's grandfather and the only elder of the Tong family. Naturally, his consent is required to get married.
Wen Rugui nodded, "I know."
Huang Qimin said that day that he wanted to pass on his life's experience to himself, but after two hours of talking, there was no useful experience at all.
Old man Wen became excited: "Xiao Zong, look at what's left at home now, let's take it to Tong's house."
Uncle Zong responded again and again: "I'll go take a look right now."
Uncle Zong went into the utility room to look for it, took out two cans of malted milk essence and two packets of snacks: "Commander, that's all."
"That's all, let's go now."
Mr. Wen felt a little shabby, but it is not a formal proposal for marriage now. When it is officially proposed, it will definitely not be enough to see.
Wen Rugui washed his face and combed his hair before leaving.
Not long after Tong Xuelv got home and sat down, he saw several men from the Wen family come to the door.
She looked at Wen Rugui in surprise: "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"
Wen Rugui met her misty eyes, her heart beating like thunder: "I came back to discuss things with you."
Negotiate things
Tong Xuelu blinked her apricot eyes, her face confused.
Old Man Wen hates iron and pushes him hard: "you are a stick, if you want to talk about it, you have to go in and talk about it. How can you say such a thing at the door?"
Tong Xuelu felt even more strange, closed the door and went in with them.
Entering the hall, Mr. Wen coughed and said, "If you come home, come on."
Wen Rugui's ears were slightly hot, looked at Tong Xuelu and said: "Xuelu, we have known each other for six months and twenty days, I want to grow old with you, I wonder if you are willing to give me this chance? "
! ! !
Tong Xuelu was stunned.
She never thought that Wen Rugui would come to the door with her family and come to propose to her!
It's just that this marriage proposal is a little too unromantic
Thinking of how romantic someone proposed to marry before wearing a book, there were not only balloons and rings, but also all kinds of surprises.
Looking at the two cans of malted milk essence on the table, Tong Xuelv was a little dumbfounded.
However, thinking of this era is like this, many people do not even ask the wishes of the object, and get married directly after the parents discuss it.
But having been married like this once in two lifetimes, she didn't want to be so hasty.
Seeing that she didn't make a statement, Mr. Wen couldn't help worrying: "Xuelu, although Rugui has a bit of a stick, he doesn't usually speak, but he is a sincere child. I can guarantee that he will treat you well. Alright, I'll be the first to kill him!"
Wen Rugui: "..." Grandpa, you are really my grandfather.
Uncle Zong also assisted: "Xuelu, Rugui is the one I've seen since I was a child, and it's the first time I've seen him take so much care of a lesbian that he even stole the chicken from the family for you to use, so he's sincere. to you."
Wen Rugui: "..."
"Pfft-"
Thinking of poor Xiao Wu, Tong Xuelu finally couldn't help laughing.
She thought for a while and said, "Grandpa Wen, I have to discuss this with my grandpa before giving you an answer."
She has her own idea in her heart, but she can't say it in front of Mr. Wen and Uncle Zong.
Looking back, she had to find a chance to talk to Wen Rugui in private.
Besides, how can a marriage proposal be successful once
It's not that easy to marry her!
Hearing Tong Xuelu's answer, several men from the Wen family all showed disappointment.
But they also knew in their hearts that this was normal, and the girl's family must be more reserved.
Wen Rugui and Mr. Wen went back after having dinner at Tong's house.
Wen Rugui didn't get an exact answer and returned to the base like a wilted eggplant.
When Zhou Yan saw him coming back, he cared more about him than the leader: "If you go home, what did your partner say, did she promise you?"
Wen Rugui pursed her lips: "She said she would discuss with her grandfather before replying."
"Brother, don't be discouraged, if you don't do it once, come twice, we just have to be thicker as men."
Zhou Yan pretended to pat him on the shoulder and comforted him, but his heart was full of joy.
Wen Rugui failed to propose a marriage, this is God helping him!
In two days, he will also take a leave of absence to go back to propose, in any case, he has to make a successful proposal before Wen Rugui!
Wen Rugui said "um" and went back to the dormitory.
The next day, Director Jiao moved his office, and Wen Ru went back to help.
Who would have thought that when moving the cabinet, he accidentally hit his waist, and then twisted again.
Wen Rugui's waist was so badly injured that he couldn't stand up straight. As soon as he turned around, he broke into a cold sweat from the pain, so he could only lie on the bed to recuperate.
Huang Qimin and Zhou Yan came to the dormitory to see him.
Seeing how serious he was, Huang Qimin couldn't help sighing: "If you return home, it's not that I am alarmist, but a man's waist is very important, why are you so careless?"
Wen Rugui and Zhou Yan were confused when they heard the words.
Seeing the ignorance of the two of them, Huang Qimin's face flushed for the first time: "The two of you are not married yet, so I can't explain some things to you too clearly."
"All in all, a man's waist is as important as a woman's stomach. If your waist hurts like this, I'm worried that you won't be able to do it in the future!"
Wen Rugui was even more confused: "What doesn't work?"
"It's not good for men!" Huang Qimin blushed, "Why don't you understand, that is, you may not be able to have children in the future!"
Wen Rugui: "!!!"
