Chapter 109 109 cups of green tea
Wen Rugui seemed to have been electrocuted by an electric current, and suddenly let go of her waist: “Yes, I’m sorry.”
Tong Xuelu glanced down and whistled in his heart.
Well, it’s bulging.
Very capital.
Wen Rugui faced her misty apricot eyes, and her whole body seemed to be charged with electricity.
Suddenly there was a burst of tingling.
He tilted his body slightly to cover it, but he looked more and more…
Tong Xuelu’s heart was old-fashioned, and she looked shy on the surface: “Will you be uncomfortable like this?”
Wen Rugui blushed and shook his head: “No.”
He lied. In fact, he was so uncomfortable that he was about to explode, but he didn’t dare to say it in front of her if he was such a rogue, for fear it would scare her.
Tong Xuelu gave a “tsk” in his heart, covering his face and said: “It’s not uncomfortable, then I’ll go out first.”
“Ok.”
Wen Rugui watched her turn around and ran out of the room, letting out a big breath.
He will get embarrassed if he doesn’t go out.
He quickly opened the window, and the autumn wind blew in, allowing the mania in his body to gradually cool down.
After ten minutes, he walked out of the room and almost hit the old man with his head.
Old man Wen glanced over his red and swollen lips and coughed: “If you can’t bear it, you have to wait for the guests to leave. What do you think you look like now?”
Wen Rugui: “…”
Old man Wen saw him silently, and continued to criticize: “You are such a rascal. It is also because Xuelu is too innocent to bear you. If you change to someone else, I will break up with you long ago!”
Wen·Rogue·Rugui: “…”
Grandpa Wen taught him a lesson before leaving with satisfaction.
If he knew that the real hooligan was Tong Xuelu, he didn’t know what his expression was?
The barbecue in the yard has already started. With the experience of the last time, everyone will start it automatically this time without Tong Xuelu.
The children ate osmanthus cakes while waiting for barbecue, while the adults were talking about the college entrance examination while having barbecue.
Among them, Wei Ran and Fang Jingyuan are confused in the same style.
Wei Ran studied at the Beijing University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers for a year and a half, and now the college entrance examination has suddenly resumed. Starting this year, workers, peasants and soldiers have stopped enrolling.
His grandfather asked him to quit school to take the college entrance examination again, but the classmates and other seniors and sisters did not quit school, so he hesitated.
Wei Guozhi said: “What is there to hesitate? You have been in the workers, peasants and soldiers for more than a year, and you have not learned anything. Now that the country has stopped enrolling students, the status of workers, peasants and soldiers will only become embarrassing day by day.”
Wei Ran still couldn’t make up his mind: “But it’s too late for me to review.”
Wei Guozhi: “I remember your birthday last year. Didn’t Xuelu give you a booklet on mathematics, physics and chemistry? Didn’t you read it?”
Wei Ran blushed and shook his head: “I don’t have time to watch.”
Although they didn’t learn much in school, they weren’t doing nothing. In addition to political education every day, they had to go to factories for internships, and sometimes they had to go to the countryside to learn how to cultivate land.
Wei Guozhi hated iron and steel and glanced at him: “After the Mid-Autumn Festival, you go back to school and talk to your teacher. After you drop out, come back and review it.”
Wei Ran scratched his head: “What if I can’t pass the exam?”
He basically forgot about the knowledge of junior and senior high school, only two months before the college entrance examination, he was afraid that he would not be able to pass the exam.
Wei Guozhi: “If you fail to pass the exam, you will continue to take the exam next year. Anyway, you are not too old. Your grandma and I will not force you to marry a wife so quickly.”
Wei Ran’s face flushed even more when he heard of marrying a wife.
Wei Zhuzhu ran over and was startled when she saw her brother’s face: “Brother, your face is as red as a braised pig’s head, it looks so scary.”
“…”
Wei Ran glared at her with a fierce expression, and Wei Zhuzhu screamed in fright and ran away.
Tong Xuelu sat down and picked up the barbecue and grilled it together: “I think Grandpa Wei is right. If he fails the exam this time, he will continue to prepare.”
Jiang is still hot. The students who graduated from the workers, peasants and soldiers were restricted in their work and their status was very embarrassing. But because they had already graduated, they couldn’t take the college entrance examination again.
If Wei Ran wants to take the college entrance examination, it is best to drop out now. After a year or two, it will be impossible for him to do it again.
Wei Ran saw that everyone had said so, and after thinking about it, he made up his mind and said: “Okay, then I will go to school to go through the withdrawal procedures when I turn back.”
As soon as Wei Ran’s voice fell, Fang Jingyuan frowned and said, “Xuelu, then do you want me to take the college entrance examination?”
She is currently working in the art troupe, where she usually performs singing or dancing.
This is a youth meal. If you can’t go up in the future, you will be assigned to some useless positions when you get older.
But when she was asked to take the college entrance examination, she didn’t have the confidence. After all, she had graduated for several years and had poor grades.
Tong Xuelu said: “Do you have a major you want to apply for?”
A shy look flashed across Fang Jingyuan’s face: “I grew up thinking that making movies is very interesting.”
Xiao Chengping interrupted suddenly: “Do you want to be an actor?”
The students in the drama school generally look good, and he suspects that she actually wants to see good-looking **** men.
“You want to control?” Fang Jingyuan glared at him, and said to Tong Xuelu, “I want to be a director.”
Oh, I didn’t expect the big head girl to have such a dream.
Tong Xuelu smiled and said: “If you are afraid that you won’t pass the exam, then don’t quit your job in the art troupe. You won’t suffer anyway if you try.”
Do not resign from the work of the art troupe, advance and retreat, so that her pressure will not return so much.
Fang Jingyuan thought for a while and nodded: “You are right. At best, it’s a bit embarrassing to fail the test, but I have nothing to lose.”
When Wei Ran on the side heard this, he suddenly felt more pressure on his shoulders.
He belongs to a person who has no way out once he quit school, completely opposite to Fang Jingyuan.
Among those who came to Tong Xuelu’s birthday party today, in addition to Tong Xuelu, Wei Ran and Fang Jingyuan who decided to take the college entrance examination, there was Jiang Danhong.
Jiang Danhong is the oldest of them, but everyone supports her decision.
In fact, Jiang Danhong’s situation is not surprising in this era. There are no restrictions on age or marital status in this college entrance examination. Therefore, many old educated youths have signed up for the college entrance examination.
Wen Rugui came over and sat down next to Tong Xuelu, and logically took the barbecue in her hand and grilled it: “You go and rest, I’ll grill it.”
Tong Xuelu smiled at each other with him, stood up and went to the room to take out two books on mathematics, physics and chemistry and gave them to Fang Jingyuan and Jiang Danhong respectively.
Jiang Danhong touched the booklet with a look of cherishment and touch: “Thank you Xuelu, this gift is too precious!”
Fang Jingyuan was even more excited and jumped up and hugged her: “I was worried about whether I could buy the review materials. This is all right, thank you.”
Since the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came out, it was hard to find a copy of the exam materials. Those who have middle and high school textbooks at home have also become popular.
Xiao Chengping glanced at Fang Jingyuan, who was enraged, and his heart became more and more irritable.
Just now I heard that Fang Jingyuan was going to take the college entrance examination, but he actually wanted to ask her uncle to help him get a set of review materials.
He is really sick, what does it have to do with him whether the brain shell can be admitted to college?
The night breeze hit, the yard was filled with the smell of barbecue.
Everyone talked about the future while eating barbecue. It was pleasant and beautiful.
The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival when the full moon was reunited, and Tong Xuelu made mooncakes for everyone as he did last year.
Then took Xiao Jiaming’s three brothers and sisters to Wen’s house for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Tong Xuelu and Uncle Zong were busy in the kitchen and cooked a table of good dishes for everyone.
Because Wen Rugui likes to eat fish, she specially made him a steamed fish today.
She poured the adjusted soy sauce on the fish, sprinkled with shredded green onions and ginger, and then poured hot oil on the steamed fish.
Just hearing the sound of “zi”, a charming fragrance floated up and filled the entire kitchen.
After the oil was splashed, the fish flesh gave off a layer of light and looked extremely tender.
The scent floated out of the window, and the other households in the yard smelled it. Qi Qi subconsciously swallowed his saliva and looked straight into the Wen’s house.
Someone couldn’t help asking: “Commander Wen, what is your family doing and why does it taste so fragrant?”
“Yeah, my saliva almost came out. Usually, Uncle Zong doesn’t seem to be so fragrant in cooking?”
Mr. Wen looked smug: “Xiaozong’s cooking can only be considered mediocre. Today, the person who feels like home came to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together, and it was she who was cooking.”
“Oh, is Rugui’s object the former manager of Dongfeng Hotel?”
Old man Wen became more proud, and said with his chest straight: “Yes, she also got the first-class chef’s certificate. I didn’t praise her. That kid is really smart and capable. The average person is completely incomparable with her.”
Everyone: “…”
If this is not called boasting, then what is boasting?
“By the way, why did she stop doing it well? Since she left, the food in Dongfeng Restaurant doesn’t seem to be so delicious.”
“I also think that I used to go there at least one or two times a month, but now I eat all those dishes, which is boring.”
Old man Wen: “She is going to take the college entrance examination. I didn’t call it. With her cleverness, she will definitely be able to pass the National Tsing Hua University and Beijing University later!”
Everyone: “…”
Why didn’t you find that Mr. Wen was so humble before?
Is it so easy to pass the National Tsing Hua University?
Tong Xuelu may cook deliciously, but I heard that she just graduated from junior high school and wants to pass the National Taiwan University and Beijing University. This is a bit of a boast.
However, in front of Mr. Wen, everyone was embarrassed to speak out directly, haha and went back.
Mr. Wen didn’t care what they thought, so he turned and went back to eat.
In addition to steamed fish, Tong Xuelu also made steamed pork ribs with yam, fried buns with vegetable stuffing and chicken soup with corn and radish.
The steamed fish is tender and fragrant. It is a delicacy on the tip of the tongue. The ribs are mixed with the taste of sweet taro. The sweet smell is chewy. The taro is steamed soft and moist. It is most suitable for the mouth of Mr. Wen.
I took a bite of the fried bun with vegetarian fillings, all kinds of fillings immediately filled the whole mouth, and the soup spread out, it was fragrant and crisp, and it was not inferior to the taste of mountains and seas.
Everyone was satisfied with this meal, and all their stomachs were rounded up.
After Mr. Wen finished his meal, he took a snack to show off to the old **** next door, and tears from the corners of his mouth flowed from the envious old ginger.
At this time, the atmosphere of the Tong’s house in the general rear courtyard was a bit heavy.
Last year, Tong Xuelu did not come to give gifts because of the rain, but the next day he still had the moon cakes.
It didn’t rain during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, and they thought she would come over, and they didn’t want to wait for a day.
Cai Chunlan curled her lips and said, “It seems that someone has made up his mind to stop contacting our Tong’s family.”
Second Brother Tong glanced at her and murmured: “Say a few words that no one considers you a dumb!”
Cai Chunlan was very upset in her heart, but when she raised her eyes to see her mother-in-law’s face was so stinky with the smelly water, she suddenly felt a little inexplicably refreshed.
At this time, Tong’s mother seemed to have a big rock stuck in her chest, which made her breathing very difficult.
She thought that if Tong Xuelu came over this Mid-Autumn Festival, she would go downhill to forgive her, and then reconnect the relationship between the two.
Tong Xuelu’s grandfather is the commander, and I heard that he will be transferred back to Beijing next month. If the other party can help him, her two sons should be able to rise by one liter.
Unexpectedly, she hadn’t arrived, and there was no sign of the festive gifts.
It really is a white-eyed wolf!
Cai Chunlan is a person who can’t keep his mouth idle. After a minute of silence, she got up again: “By the way, I heard that Tong Xuelu quit her position as a hotel manager and is going to take the college entrance examination.”
“I remember that when she was studying, she failed many times in her grades, and she almost couldn’t finish her school that year. Even with her grades, she dared to take the college entrance examination. It was a real laugh!”
Everyone was shocked when they heard the news.
Chen Yueling: “She really quit her position as a hotel manager?”
Cai Chunlan smiled and nodded and said mockingly: “No, there are many people taking the college entrance examination, but there are not many people who resign as stupid as her. If you don’t pass the exam, it would be really shameful!”
Brother Tong frowned and said, “She is so impulsive.”
Others thought the same, they all felt that Tong Xuelu would definitely not be admitted to college.
Turning back is not only embarrassing, but also lost your job. This is more than impulse, it is completely stupid!
When Tong’s mother heard the news, the big rock blocking her chest went down all of a sudden, and immediately ate two more bowls of rice.
**
The first session of the college entrance examination resumed. Because of the few restrictions, the registration fee is a bit expensive at 50 cents, but as long as they have graduated from junior high school or above, they basically took the college entrance examination.
Tong Xuelu initially wanted to apply for the major of economics and management, but after considering it, she applied for the major of English.
Of course, after graduation, she didn’t want to engage in English-related industries, she will continue to do food-related jobs.
In addition to owning factories and restaurants, she plans to spread Chinese cuisine to the world.
The food culture of China has condensed five thousand years of civilization and wisdom. The food of “color, fragrance, taste, and utensils” is enough to conquer everyone.
To spread food, it is necessary to master a good English.
Although she had also studied English before wearing the book, she was not a professional, so once again, she planned to study English.
On this day, she and Fang Jingyuan went to the Education Bureau to get the admission ticket.
I saw that her admission ticket read:
1977 Uniform Enrollment Admission Ticket for Colleges and Universities
Examination area: Beijing
Category: Management
Name: Tong Xuelu
(Additional subjects: English)
Number: 254250
Printed by the Office of the Admissions Committee of Beijing Higher Education Institutions
When Tong Xuelu saw her number, the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely.
Do you want to lose it this way, 54250, I’m two hundred and five.
by!
Fang Jingyuan leaned over to see her admission ticket, with a look of envy: “Why are the photos you took so beautiful?”
Tong Xuelu said without embarrassment: “No way, natural beauty.”
Fang Jingyuan: “…”
When she passed the Xinhua Bookstore on the way back, she saw a long line outside.
The library was also full of people. At first glance, it was full of people’s heads. Even the windowsill was full of people. Some people who went late did not take up a place and could only sit on the floor.
In the past ten years, cultural people have been hit hard. At that time, they even promoted the theory that “reading is useless”, but now that absurd era has passed.
The resumption of the college entrance examination this time has injected the most powerful stimulus to the cultural people across the country. They are ecstatic and full of curiosity in their eyes.
Every time I see this scene, Tong Xuelu feels excited.
After separating from Fang Jingyuan, she did not go home directly, but went to the printing factory.
The guard of the printing house saw her and smiled and said, “Comrade Tong, are you here?”
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, “I have an appointment with the factory manager, is he in there?”
The doorman smiled and the folds of both corners came out: “Yes, you go in.”
It was not the first time that Tong Xuelu had come here. He didn’t need someone to bring him, so he went directly to the factory director’s office.
Director Zhou saw her coming and stood up and smiled: “Comrade Tong, you are finally here, please sit down.”
Tong Xuelu sat down on the sofa.
Factory Director Zhou asked someone to pour a cup of tea, and then took out the candies and melon seeds prepared in the morning: “Comrade Tong, please use it.”
Tong Xuelu smiled and expressed his thanks.
Factory Manager Zhou did not circumvent the corners, and directly took out two envelopes from the drawer: “This is the money for the physical and chemical booklet of the previous times, and the other is a thank you gift from the printing plant to Comrade Tong.”
The country suddenly announced the resumption of the college entrance examination, and many people could not find books, could not find review materials, and could not buy them if they had money.
Their printing plant was also too anxious, and the indicators were placed on it, so that they could print the materials as soon as possible.
I didn’t say what information was printed, everything was too sudden, and there was no answer to anyone asking.
At this moment, the Wen family contacted them and said that they had about 950 booklets in their hands and that the booklets in their hands could be used as review materials.
After they got the booklet, they hurried to consult the Education Bureau to make sure that this material could indeed be used as a review material. They were immediately ecstatic.
Because they received review materials earlier than other printing houses, the pamphlets they printed were quickly sent to bookstores and reading libraries across the country.
Now their printing plant is well-known throughout the country and has become a vane in the printing industry.
All this thanks to the Wen family.
Director Zhou and Wen’s family are relatives who turn around, but because they are not close, they usually don’t move around very much.
This time they got so many brochures through the Wen family, and their factory would naturally express their gratitude.
Director Zhou didn’t know that these pamphlets belonged to Tong Xuelu, but thought it was the Wen family who sent her over to deal with the matter, so he didn’t mention the Wen family a word at this moment.
These things are done in private and cannot be made public.
Tong Xuelu didn’t have any money, so she picked up the envelope and put it in the bag: “Thank you, Director Zhou. I know Director Zhou is a prudent person, but I still have to remind you that when I leave this door, we will not acknoledged.”
Director Zhou nodded again and again: “Understood, Comrade Tong came here twice, just to consult about printing matters.”
Tong Xuelu nodded in satisfaction, turned and walked out of Director Zhou’s office.
She got a thousand books on mathematics, physics and chemistry from Xiao’s mother. At first, she wanted to sell it by herself, but her current status was different from before.
Now she is the granddaughter of the commander, and her fiance’s background is different. If she sells it privately, the risk is too great.
So she told Wen Rugui about the pamphlet, and Wen Rugui contacted Director Zhou after finding contacts.
She privately sold the booklet to Director Zhou at a fair price, so she disposed of the booklet.
Because the Wen family is behind her back, she believes that Director Zhou will not be so stupid to stab the matter out.
What’s more, after stabbing it out, he must be punished.
After returning home, Tong Xuelu took out the two envelopes and opened them.
The booklet sold for a total of 580 yuan, thank you for the cost of two hundred.
It adds up to almost 800 yuan, which is her private money.
Earned money.
From this day on, Tong Xuelu stopped going out and focused on reviewing the college entrance examination at home.
Sometimes Wei Ran, Fang Jingyuan, and Jiang Danhong and others would come over to discuss topics with her.
Time flickered to November.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the pre-exam on the 27th ushered in.
The pre-test only tests Chinese and mathematics, and Tong Xuelu passed the test easily.
Only a few people passed the pre-examination, and most of them passed the test.
On December 9th, there was heavy snowfall, and the weather was so cold that people’s teeth were trembling.
Tong Xuelu came to the examination room to take the college entrance examination while sitting behind the warm bicycle.
At this time, a lot of people had arrived outside the examination room. Each of the candidates had their eyes lit up like stars in the sky, but their bodies were shaking like a sieve.
Wen Rugui saw that her face was red with cold, and said warmly: “You stand here, I will protect you from the wind.”
Tong Xuelu raised her head and smiled at him: “I dress so thick, and there is a hot water bottle in my clothes, so it’s not cold at all.”
For this college entrance examination, the whole family was dispatched.
Because the exam was in December, Wen Rugui bought her a hot water bottle through various contacts and relationships, and went to the department store to buy her gloves.
At this time she was wearing a military coat, a military cap on her head, woolen gloves on her hands, a scarf around her neck, and a hot water bottle in her arms.
She is really not cold at all.
To say something hateful, she still feels a little hot at the moment.
Everyone looked at her with envy and jealousy seeing her equipment so complete.
Then look at the gentle, gentle, young and handsome standing next to her, as well as bicycles, and all the girls have a mouthful of sour lemons.
The guard came out and picked up the gong and knocked a few times: “Enter the examination room, the candidate has entered the examination room.”
Tong Xuelu put the hot water bottle into Wen Rugui’s arms, raised his head and smiled: “I’m going in.”
Wen Rugui handed the cardboard in her hand to her: “Okay, I’ll wait for you outside.”
Everyone saw that Tong Xuelu had a cardboard in her hand and didn’t know what her purpose was at first, but after entering the examination room, they couldn’t help but envy again.
Some desks are pitted and bumpy. If you don’t put anything on it, you can easily break the test paper if you don’t pay attention to writing.
Because Tong Xuelu was well prepared, he didn’t have to worry at all during the exam.
The college entrance examination lasted for three days.
Because of applying for the English major, Tong Xuelu took one more English test than other candidates.
After the exam, there were wailing in the exam room, and many people said that they would definitely fail the exam.
There are additional questions for language and mathematics, but few people can do it.
Tong Xuelu made it all.
Those exam questions are difficult for candidates of this era, but very simple for Tong Xuelu, who has come through the book.
For example, the additional problem of mathematics is actually a very simple calculus, but many people say that they can’t understand it.
After finishing the exam, the teachers immediately engaged in the intense examination of the papers.
On January 25th, the results finally came out in everyone’s expectations.
With a total score of 500, Tong Xuelu scored 494 in the test and 100 in English.
The results ranked first among the candidates in Beijing.
The Tong family of the General Backyard stayed after learning the news.
