The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s

Chapter 26 Twenty six cups of green tea

Park Jianyi was laughing to death.

Old man Wen was so angry that Jiang lost to him when he played chess.

There is a saying in Lao Jiang’s home that if a person who is celebrating his birthday makes a fish for himself, he will be able to spend more than a year, and he will be as lucky as the other person in the future.

Old Jiang’s grandsons are full, and Mr. Wen thinks he is more blessed than himself. He finally won a few games of chess and forced him to make a fish for himself, but he had not eaten this bite, so he ate it all for this stinky boy!

Can he not be angry?

He couldn’t say this, otherwise, everyone thought he was propagating feudal superstitions!

Wen Rugui felt that he had never been so embarrassed in his life.

The reason why he ate all the fish just now was because he didn’t want his grandfather to know that Tong Xuelu had sent the fish, because once he let his grandfather know, he would even use the word tender grass on his lips in the future.

But they weren’t really dealing with him, he was worried that it would affect her reputation.

As long as he ate the fish, Grandpa didn’t see it when he turned back, so naturally he wouldn’t ask.

As for sharing the fish with Park Jianyi?

Sorry, he never thought about it.

It’s just that he didn’t expect that the fish was not given by Tong Xuelu, but Jiang made it by himself. This…it was very embarrassing.

Wen Rugui ignored Pu Jianyi who was laughing so hard, and coughed: “Grandpa, I will cook it for you myself when I turn around.”

“I’m going to eat old **** and made it myself!” Old man Wen grunted from his nostrils and stood up. “Xiaozong, I remember that old **** caught a lot of fish today. Let’s go and ask him if there are any live fish. Make another one for me!”

Wen Rugui: “…”

To be honest, Grandpa Jiang’s cooking skills are really not that good. The steamed fish just now was a little bit raw.

He didn’t quite understand why the old man insisted on eating the fish made by him.

Old man Wen took Zong Shu hurriedly to Jiang’s house, and only Pu Jianyi in the hall was still laughing.

Wen Rugui glanced at him, and said in a faint voice: “Comrade Tong, don’t let go of it when you turn around.”

Pu Jianyi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: “I thought you told her that today is the birthday of the old man, so she sent it here specially.”

Wen Rugui’s action of picking up vegetables paused: “…I thought you were talking to you and her.”

Park Jianyi grinned: “Where would I tell her this? Come on, it’s a misunderstanding by chance, but you don’t have to rush to swallow the whole fish by yourself. How does the fish taste?”

Wen Rugui did not say a word.

Pu Jianyi looked at him a few times and said: “I thought it was Comrade Tong who was interested in you. Now it seems that you are more interesting to her, right?”

Wen Rugui’s eyelashes quivered, and his tone was cold, “I remember your dad didn’t know about you borrowing money from me, right?”

Strike a snake and hit seven inches.

Pu Jianyi stunned for a second, and quickly begged for mercy: “Come on, can I do nonsense? But you must not let my old man know that I am borrowing money from you, or he has to interrupt my leg!”

Wen Rugui was noncommittal and said in silence: “Why did she go to the Public Security Bureau again? Hasn’t the Tong’s affairs been resolved?”

Park Jianyi gave a “tsk”: “Speaking of her, she is really related to the Public Security Bureau, but this time she did not go for the Tong family’s affairs. It was a woman who was beaten by her husband and mother-in-law. She was a witness in the past.”

“That woman really has to thank her. If she hadn’t persuaded the neighbors to be witnesses, her husband and mother-in-law would have been locked up for two or three years at most. Now, it will take at least five or six years.”

It turned out that she was trying to persuade those people.

When he heard what she said at the time, he guessed a little bit, which is why he didn’t go in directly to expose her lies.

Now that she knew she was trying to help others to lie, that little doubt in my heart disappeared.

In this world, there are many people who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and more people choose to stand by and watch the suffering of others.

She was able to stand up so bravely to be a witness, and then persuade others to come out together to be a witness, telling a little lie, it seemed to him innocuous.

But thinking of the phrase she said, “My target is Wen”, his heart moved slightly, and the tips of his ears were a little red under the light.

**

Tong Xuelu went to work in the textile factory as usual the next day. In order to get rid of the panic that was hurt before, she got her bangs down and covered her forehead.

Except for Tong Jiaming, she didn’t talk about changing jobs with anyone.

The Xu family finally collected all the money owed to her, and Zhou Fang also started to go to work.

Most of the people in the compound understood that Tong Xuelu didn’t go back to the countryside with Beihe’s old family, but some people said so.

The Xu family consciously received the great favor of Tong Xuelu, and helped her to say good things everywhere. If she encounters Hu Chuan, Xu’s mother will be the first to rush to tear her opponent.

In this way, without Tong Xuelu’s own action, the rumors in the compound were torn apart by Xu Mu.

A week later, when Tong Xuelu was so tired that she was suffering from spondylosis, Su Xiuying finally got news.

He Baogen and Mrs. He were sentenced for torturing and insulting women. Both were sentenced to five years and will soon be sent to the farm for rehabilitation.

When Su Xiuying decided to report her husband and mother-in-law, she sent her daughter to her natal house in advance. After she came out of the public security bureau, she did not go back to He’s house, but went directly to her natal house.

Seeing her come back with a bruised nose and swollen face, her maiden family was so angry that He Baogen was not a human being, but no one persuaded her to divorce, or said she wanted to give her up.

Su Xiuying’s heart was chilling, but no matter how chilling she was, she couldn’t tear her face apart with her family.

She had already acted like that, and if she broke her face with her natal family, she would really not be able to gain a foothold in Beijing.

Then she told her family about how she had reported He Baogen’s mother and son.

As she expected, her natal family exploded on the spot, pointed her nose to her and yelled at her, telling her to revoke the report as soon as possible.

She looked at her natal family blankly, and then proposed to let her second nephew take over He Baogen’s job.

The room was quiet.

Needless to say later, the attitude of her mother’s family immediately changed 360 degrees, and they accused He Baogen and Mrs. He of not being human, saying that they would definitely support her.

She sneered in her heart, but didn’t show it on her face, and then went to the steel factory to complete the formalities with her family.

The people at the steel plant knew that Su Xiuying had reported He Baogen’s two mothers and sons, and gave his work place to his nephew, and they were shocked that they could put a shoe in their mouth.

After the shock, everyone accused her of having no conscience, especially when relatives of the He family rolled up their sleeves and wanted to come up and beat her.

It’s just that this time she didn’t need to get ahead, her mother’s family rushed in front, scolded a group of people bloody, and yelled to go to the Public Security Bureau to report them.

Because He Baogen’s example was in the front, everyone else was immediately scared.

Seeing her mother’s family come forward for herself, Su Xiuying’s heart did not fluctuate at all.

After finishing the formalities, the next day she bought fruit candies and snacks and drove to find Tong Xuelu.

Su Xiuying came by pinching the time, Tong Xuelu came to the door as soon as she finished eating.

Seeing Su Xiuying, Tong Xuelu’s eyes lit up: “Comrade Su, you are here!”

Not seen for a week, the bruise on Su Xiuying’s face has faded a lot, and her face is not as haggard as before. Although she looks very thin, she is still in good spirits.

Su Xiuying handed over the fruit candy and snacks, and said in a low voice: “Their verdict has finally come down.”

The verdict between He Baogen and Mrs. He didn’t come down, and she couldn’t feel relieved, and she didn’t dare to exchange jobs with Tong Xuelu, so as not to go back and involve her.

Now that the verdict has come down, she and He Baogen have also divorced, and she can finally come over with peace of mind.

Looking at the things she bought, Tong Xuelu declined: “It’s fine for you to come here, you don’t need to buy things.”

“Yes, you helped me so much!”

Su Xiuying smiled, raised her eyes and saw three other children in the room, and asked, “These are your brother and sister?”

“Yes, it’s my two brothers and sister.”

Tong Xuelu nodded and asked Tong Jiaming and others to speak.

Tong Mianmian is the cutest.

She ran over on her short legs, raising her little head and said in a voice: “Hello, my sister, I am my sister’s younger sister, my name is Mianmian, and I am three years old this year.”

She said that compared to the four fingers, she looked cute and cute, and the heart of seeing people was melted.

Su Xiuying looked at Tong Mianmian, who was about the same age as her daughter, with a soft heart, and took a handful of fruit candy and stuffed it over and said, “Good boy, take it and eat it quickly.”

Tong Mianmian didn’t take it, and looked up at Tong Xuelu with bright eyes.

Tong Xuelu rubbed her little head and nodded: “Take it.”

Tong Mianmian then accepted the sugar that Su Xiuying had stuffed, showing a small dimple at the corner of his mouth and smiled sweetly: “Thank you, sister, Mianmian, little sister, please put the sugar in the bag.”

Seeing this, Tong Xuelu couldn’t help but laugh out loudly.

This little clever ghost also knows that pockets can hold sugar better.

The smile on Su Xiuying’s face was a little bigger, she filled her two small pockets, and also grabbed a handful of fruit candy for the two brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin.

The two brothers thanked them shyly, and took Tong Mianmian out to play.

Tong Xuelu asked Su Xiuying to sit down and poured her a glass of water: “Is everything done?”

Su Xiuying took a sip of water, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly: “It’s done, the verdict is over, the marriage is also divorced, and my parents also agreed to take care of the children for me.”

When Tong Xuelu saw her mentioning her parents, a flash of self-deprecation flashed across her face, and she guessed something in her heart, but didn’t ask much.

Su Xiuying looked at the house a few times and asked curiously, “Why didn’t you see your parents? Did you go out shopping?”

“They died in a car accident a few months ago.”

Su Xiuying gave an “ah” and quickly apologized: “I’m sorry, I don’t know this is the case…”

Tong Xuelu waved his hand: “It’s okay, you don’t need to care, by the way, what I told Comrade Huang before was my adoptive parents.”

Then she briefly talked about her life experience.

After listening to Su Xiuying, she sighed quietly: “Unexpectedly, it is not easy for you.”

Before, she saw that Tong Xuelu’s clothes and dress were different from ordinary people. She was beautiful and good-natured. She thought she was raised in the palm of her hand. She didn’t expect her experience to be so rough.

Her brother and sister are still young, and the burden of the family falls on her shoulders, which is really not easy.

Tong Xuelu didn’t feel pitiful: “Comrade Su must cheer up, and under the leadership of the party, our days will pass the better!”

Reform and opening up will take place in another two years, when the economy will develop rapidly, and everyone’s life will change drastically.

She looks forward to this day.

Seeing her confident smile, Su Xiuying couldn’t help but feel encouraged: “You are right, the days will always pass the better!”

After chatting for a while until working hours, Tong Xuelu tidied up and went to the factory with Su Xiuying.

**

When he came to the factory, Tong Xuelu first went to the workshop to find Director Ma, and told her that he wanted to change jobs with someone.

Director Ma heard the words and was so shocked that he couldn’t close his mouth together: “Xuelu, you are leaving? When is this happening?”

Tong Xuelu: “A sister I know wants to move here, so she can’t continue her work in the city, so she discussed with me to change the job.”

This is a good rhetoric that she discussed with Su Xiuying, not mentioning Su Xiuying’s report of her husband and mother-in-law.

It takes one or two hours to travel from the city to Yanqing County by car, and news of her should not reach here in a short while.

“In the urban area, don’t you brothers and sisters have to move out together? By the way, what kind of work are you going to change?”

Director Ma liked the young man Tong Xuelu very much, and felt very sad when she heard that she was leaving.

Director Ma is generous and takes good care of herself, and Tong Xuelu is also reluctant to bear her: “I have changed the position of a waiter in a state-owned hotel.”

The people in the workshop were in an uproar when they heard that she was going to work in a state-owned hotel.

“Comrade Xiaotong, how did you change your job? Was it the relationship that your adoptive parents found for you?”

“I think it must be. Didn’t her adoptive parents be high officials? Wouldn’t it be easy to change her job in a state-owned hotel?”

“It’s really a different life, Comrade Xiaotong’s luck is so enviable!”

Tong Xuelu told them that it was not for her adoptive parents to help, but she was about to talk dry, and no one believed her, she didn’t explain it at all.

Then she went to the factory director with Director Ma.

Director Yu knew that she was about to change jobs, and was equally surprised: “Have you considered it clearly? If you are in the factory, I can more or less look after your brothers and sisters. If you go outside, it won’t be so convenient.”

Tong Xuelu nodded: “Thank you, the director, I have considered it clearly. I would like to thank the director for taking care of our family these days!”

Speaking of which, the leaders of this factory are very good people. After the Tong Dajun and his wife left, they have been taking care of the children of the Tong family.

It’s just that being a weaver is so tired that she doesn’t want to stay no matter how good people are.

Director Yu saw that her attention had been settled, and he sighed and stopped to persuade her.

The next procedure will be quick.

After completing the formalities here, Tong Xuelu and Su Xiuying took the car to the state-owned hotel to complete the formalities.

Unlike the people in the textile factory who were reluctant to leave, the people in the state-run hotel knew that Su Xiuying was leaving, and were so happy they wanted to set off fireworks to celebrate.

Especially a waiter named Tan Xiaoyan, staring at Su Xiuying with swollen eyes and mockingly said: “Sister Xiuying, are you going to leave if you can’t go on?”

Su Xiuying pursed her lips and said nothing.

Tan Xiaoyan watched her silently, and became more arrogant: “Just stop talking? I guess so! If I were you, I might have had no face to see people!”

“But I wouldn’t do it like you. What do you think, Xiuying? Brother Baogen is your husband, Xiaoqiu’s father, no matter how bad, why are you so vicious in heart?”

The blood on Su Xiuying’s face seemed to be taken away, and she instantly became pale.

Tong Xuelu remembered the waiter, the same swollen and proud waiter she saw when she came to Su Xiuying last time.

At that time, she had a mouthful of sister Xiuying, she thought she had a good relationship with Su Xiuying, but she didn’t expect to speak so harshly.

But she didn’t plan to stand up for Su Xiuying, Su Xiuying must learn to face and digest herself.

The procedures for state-run hotels are simpler than those for textile factories. The chefs of state-run hotels need to be verified, but the waiter does not need to be, as long as the manager of the state-run hotel signs it.

Liu Dongchang, the manager of the state-owned hotel, has long wanted Su Xiuying to do it here. After all, the hotel has a woman with such a “vicious” heart, which has a bad influence on the reputation of the hotel.

So knowing that Su Xiuying was going to leave, he waved a big hand and very cheerfully signed his name to let her go.

After coming out of the state-run hotel, Su Xiuying’s face was still ugly.

Tong Xuelu calmed down and said, “Comrade Su, are you okay?”

Su Xiuying’s mouth twitched: “I’ve heard a lot of these things these days, don’t worry, I’m fine! By the way, where do you live when you come to the city? Have you found a house?”

Tong Xuelu sighed in her heart and shook her head: “Not yet, I went to the housing management office before, but the houses sold were too expensive, and I really couldn’t afford it.”

Su Xiuying: “I haven’t found someone to take over in my house for the time being. If you don’t have a place to live, you can live in my house and you don’t have to pay the rent.”

Tong Xuelu hurriedly waved his hand: “This can’t be done! I have taken advantage of you in the work of the state-owned hotel. The rent must be paid!”

Judging from the current situation, she can only rent an apartment with Su Xiuying.

The Tong family over there may be able to help her, but she is no longer the daughter of the Tong family. Secondly, the Tong family passed through the real thing last time. Although the Tong family did not say it on the surface, there must be a grudge in her heart afterwards.

Therefore, Tong Xuelu never thought of asking them for help.

**

After parting with Su Xiuying, Tong Xuelu wanted to go back by car, and suddenly remembered that she wanted to give Wen Rugui a gift.

After asking Piao Jianyi about Wen Rugui’s taste last time, she originally wanted to find a chance to give him the food, but when she went back, she found out that the scientific research center was not in the city at all.

It takes at least three or four hours to travel from Yanqing County to Zhongguang Village. If you add waiting for the bus, it will take five or six hours to arrive.

She didn’t know if the fish was rotten at such a long distance, but she would definitely suffer from motion sickness and vomit to death.

And she didn’t want to ask for leave anymore, so she had to give up.

Now that she has changed jobs, just having a little time, she thought about giving the thank-you gift.

Wen Rugui’s home should be in the city, and she doesn’t know when he will be back, and she doesn’t know where his home is, so it’s best to ask him.

This year, only the post office and work unit had telephones, and Tong Xuelu turned his head towards the post office.

She still remembers the phone number Wen Rugui gave her.

The one who answered the phone was a cold young female voice: “Scientific research center, who are you looking for?”

“Hello, I’m looking for Comrade Wen Ruguiwen.”

Hearing Tong Xuelu’s crisp voice, he paused for a while, and said slowly: “Wait.”

After five or six minutes, there was still no movement on the other side.

Tong Xuelu watched the time go by, feeling very painful. The phone cost is a dime per minute!

Just when she was hesitating whether to hang up and call again, the phone on the other end was finally picked up.

A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: “I am warm as home.”

“Hello Comrade Wen, this is Tong Xuelu.”

Hearing Tong Xuelu’s voice, Wen Rugui’s eyelashes quivered, and he raised his eyes to see the operator staring at him.

He turned around and said in a low voice: “Hello Comrade Tong, what can you do with me?”

Tong Xuelu asked playfully: “I can’t find you if I have nothing to do?”

“…”

Wen Rugui was speechless for a while. No one had ever asked him such a rhetorical question. He paused and said, “Naturally it is possible.”

Tong Xuelu heard a short silence on the other end, imagining his expression, the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker.

But the two are not familiar yet, and she doesn’t tease him anymore: “Thanks to Comrade Wen’s help twice before, I heard Comrade Park say that you like fish. It just so happens that my cooking skills are very good. I want to make a pickled fish for it. As a thank you gift, you don’t know when Comrade Wen will be convenient?”

Wen Rugui: “Comrade Tong, you are welcome, I just need to raise my hand.”

Tong Xuelu: “I knew you would say that, but Comrade Wen you helped me so much. If I can’t thank you, I will be uneasy. Comrade Wen, you really bear the heart to see me living in anxiety every day. ?”

Wen Rugui: “…”

Her voice was soft and soft, with a trace of grievance in her tone, which made people unbearable to refuse.

Wen Rugui paused: “I will go back to the city tomorrow.”

Tong Xuelu smiled and said: “That’s really great, I know Comrade Wen you are a good and considerate person! Then I will make a good fish tomorrow and send it to you, where do you live?”

“Military District Compound.”

“Okay, then we will see you tomorrow afternoon.”

“Good.” See or leave.
