Chapter 27 27 cups of green tea
Wen Rugui put the phone back.
Operator An Yuemei stared at his face, her eyes widened: “Researcher Wen, you are smiling!!”
Wen Rugui was startled when he heard the words, and then an uncomfortable expression flashed under his eyes.
He coughed, returned to his usual indifferent appearance, nodded to the other party and turned away.
As soon as Wen Rugui left, An Yuemei took the enamel tank and ran to the personnel office next door to ask for hot water. By the way, she shared her excitement with the colleague next door.
“Do you know? A woman called just now to find Researcher Wen! The most important thing is that Researcher Wen laughed!”
After An Yuemei finished speaking, she looked like an idiot: Researcher Wen looked so beautiful when she laughed.
“Really? I have been in the center for several years, and I have never seen Researcher Wen smile!”
“I haven’t seen it either! But I haven’t heard that Researcher Wen has a target. Could it be his mother who called me?”
As soon as this word came out, the whole office fell silent.
After the man said it, everyone didn’t talk, and he looked dumbfounded: “Why are you not talking anymore? Did I say something wrong?”
An Yuemei returned to her senses, glanced outside, and said in a low voice: “Researcher Wen’s mother divorced and left Wen’s house many years ago. I heard that she has remarried and has other children. You should never be there after this. Mentioned in front of him!”
The man said “Ah” and his mouth opened wide: “I know, I will definitely not mention it in the future! I really didn’t expect Researcher Wen to be so pitiful, no wonder I don’t laugh at ordinary times!”
Several people chatted for a few more words and then they broke up.
Wen Rugui didn’t know that they were talking about themselves behind their backs.
He went back to the research room, came out soon, and walked to the dean’s office with long legs.
Dean Zhuang Zhenghui saw him come in, put down the pen in his hand and asked, “Rugui, why are you here? Did you encounter any difficulties?”
Wen Rugui squeezed the hand on his side, and his voice still sounded faint: “Dean, I want to take a day off tomorrow.”
Zhuang Zhenghui raised his eyebrows: “Why are you suddenly asking for leave? Is there something wrong with your grandpa’s body?”
Wen Rugui shook his head: “No, my grandpa is okay. I personally want to take a day off.”
Zhuang Zhenghui’s sharp eyes looked at him: “The development task has just been completed, OK, then I will approve it for you.”
Wen Rugui passed the prepared leave slip.
Zhuang Zhenghui signed the name with a fountain pen, and when he went back, he suddenly said: “You kid is not too young anymore, it’s time to find someone!”
Wen Rugui: “…”
Zhuang Zhenghui said again: “When I was your age, children could make soy sauce. If you can’t find a partner, the organization can arrange it for you!”
Wen Rugui took the request for leave: “Don’t bother to organize.”
Zhuang Zhenghui raised his eyebrows: “So you can solve it by yourself?”
Wen Rugui paused before nodding slightly: “Yeah.”
“That’s fine, then I can wait to eat your wedding candy!”
“…”

After Tong Xuelu finished the call, he did not go home directly, but went back to find Su Xiuying.
Su Xiuying went back to the compound to pack her things, and planned to move in these two days.
Seeing Tong Xuelu returning and returning, she was a little surprised: “Comrade Tong, why are you here?”
Tong Xuelu: “I want to trouble you with something.”
Su Xiuying said: “If it is troublesome and not troublesome, come in and talk.”
When the people in the courtyard saw Tong Xuelu, their eyes came over, and their eyes were full of surprise.
“Comrades, why are you here? Do you want us to be witnesses again?”
“He Baogen and his mother are both locked up, why do they need to be witnesses?”
Tong Xuelu said, “I don’t need to be a witness, I’m here to find Comrade Su.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
There was an aunt who “kindly” advised her: “Lesbian, I advise you not to be with some unscrupulous people, so you don’t have to look back and you will be reported too!”
“Yes, some people’s hearts are as hard as rocks, you have to be careful!”
Su Xiuying bit her lip when she heard this, her face turned pale.
Tong Xuelu snorted and curled her lips: “Auntie, you are right. If your daughter is beaten by her husband in the future, you must not let her report it!”
“…”
The aunt choked, her face flushed.
Tong Xuelu stopped paying attention to them, and walked in: “Comrade Su, don’t pay attention to these people!”
Su Xiuying’s face was pale: “I know, anyway, I will leave here soon, and I can’t control what they want. By the way, what did you just say about looking for me?”
Tong Xuelu: “I don’t know if you will come here tomorrow. I want to come over and make some food for others. I will bring the ingredients from home by myself.”
Su Xiuying said: “I will stay here tonight. You can come anytime tomorrow. What are you going to eat? Are the ingredients ready?”
Tong Xuelu: “I want to make sauerkraut fish and mung bean cake. Mung beans should be available to the supply and marketing cooperatives. As for the fish, I can only try my luck.”
If the secondary merchandise shop can’t find it, she decides to get up early tomorrow and go to the black market to find it.
But she didn’t plan to tell Su Xiuying about this.
Su Xiuying laughed: “It’s a coincidence. My grandmother’s production team has been fishing for fish in the past two days. Each family has divided several fish. My grandmother gave two to my mother. If you need it, I’ll go to catch them. Call, let my nephew send it back.”
Although the fish was given to her natal family, she gave her a job, and they would not dare to disagree if she wanted two fish.
She was beaten by He Baogen for seven years. Her family and neighbors were as blind as one by one. No one was willing to testify for her. If it weren’t for Tong Xuelu, maybe she would be beaten to death by He Baogen one day!
Tong Xuelu’s eyes lit up: “I have a need, I need it very much. Thank you very much, Comrade Su!”
Although summer and autumn are the peak seasons for fish growth, someone should be smuggled out and sold in the black market.
But there is always something in case, if Su Xiuying has anything, then she can come directly tomorrow.
Of course, she will not take advantage of the other party in vain, she will definitely give the money that should be given.
Su Xiuying happened to have mung beans here too, so Tong Xuelu took the money and food stamps to buy them from her, and asked her to soak them for herself in the morning.
Su Xiuying naturally refused to accept it. When the two of them pushed back and forth, an angry shout suddenly came from outside——
“Su Xiuying, come out for me!”
Hearing the sound, Su Xiuying frowned: “It’s from the He family!”
She went out after speaking.
He Baogen has no brothers, but has three older sisters.
At this time, He Baogen’s three sisters and four or five nephews came over.
A gang of black people, menacing.
Seeing Su Xiuying coming out, Sister He Baogen cursed with her waist in her waist: “You wicked thing, why do you still have the face to stay in our house?”
Second Sister He agreed: “Yes, you have divorced my brother. This house belongs to our He family. Get out of here immediately!”
Third Sister He nodded: “Not only is the house owned by our He family, you can’t take away the contents, otherwise we will go to the Public Security Bureau to report the theft!”
Tong Xuelu walked out of the house and said to Su Xiuying: “Comrade Su, don’t be afraid. If they dare to touch you, I’ll be your witness!”
After that, she looked up at the people watching the theater in the yard: “You have been a witness once, how can I tell you what to say later?”
Everyone in the yard: “…”
They don’t want to be witnesses at all, okay?
The three sisters of the He family trembled together when they heard the words, and when you see me, I see you, they all hesitate.
In the end, Sister He stood up and said, “Huh, just report it. This house belongs to our He family. We are reasonable wherever we go!”
The other group also clamored immediately.
Tong Xuelu was actually a little worried about fighting, and seeing the situation, she hesitated whether she could rent the house with Su Xiuying.
What if people from the He family come over to harass from time to time, and Tong Mianmian is frightened?
At this moment, Su Xiuying spoke: “Which house belongs to, that’s right, but the name of the owner is not He Baogen, but He Xiaoqiu.”
Everyone was stunned.
Sister He came back to her senses first, jumping to point at Su Xiuying and cursing: “You fart!”
Second Sister He: “He Xiaoqiu is a loser, what qualifications does he have to get this house?”
Third Sister He: “Yes! Besides, you are divorced from my brother, Xiao Qiu is not a member of our He family!”
Tong Xuelu sneered: “If Xiao Qiu is not a member of the He family, wouldn’t you guys who were marrying money losers even less qualified?”
He·Losing Goods·Three Sisters: “…”
Sister He: “It’s your shit! It’s your shit! We want you to talk about things in the He family alone!”
Sister He: “That’s right, who wants you to be nosy, and if you talk too much, the old lady will tear you up!”
Third Sister He: “That’s right, let’s talk more and even fight with you!”
People in the yard: “The friend of this **** target is the captain of the Public Security Bureau. If we beat her, we will go to the Public Security Bureau to testify for her!”
The three sisters of the He family: “…”
Why the **** do you feel so frustrated? !
Su Xiuying said: “The house has gone to the Housing Management Office to change its name. This house is now owned by my daughter He Xiaoqiu. If you don’t believe me, go to the prison and ask He Baogen. If you dare to mess around, I will send your family to the prison to reunite!”
The three sisters of the He family: “…”
Seeing that Su Xiuying didn’t look like a lie, and there was another Tong Xuelu next to her, the three sisters of the He family discussed it and decided to ask He Baogen before coming back.
As soon as the group of people left, Tong Xuelu asked, “Is the house really renamed?”
She wants to live here in the future, she must figure out this problem.
Su Xiuying nodded: “Yes, and He Baogen personally mentioned it.”
Tong Xuelu’s eyes widened: “How is this possible? He Baogen shouldn’t have found it with conscience, right?”
Su Xiuying sneered: “Of course not. He has conditions for doing so. He told me not to change Xiao Qiu’s surname!”
This can be understood.
He Baogen’s seeds are not good. I am afraid that it will be difficult to have children after he comes out. He Xiaoqiu may be the only child in his life.
Now he and Su Xiuying are divorced. He is worried that Su Xiuying will change Xiaoqiu’s surname after remarrying, so he uses the house in exchange for it.
Su Xiuying explained: “I didn’t plan to marry again. It’s not easy to change the surname to Xiao Qiu now. Don’t want this house for nothing. He owes me and Xiao Qiu’s mother and daughter, so I agreed.”
Tong Xuelu: “You did it right! Don’t do it in vain, you can’t talk about spine at this time!”
Su Xiuying saw that she didn’t look down on herself because of this, and she was relieved: “So you can come and rent this house without worry. When you look back when they figure it out, they won’t dare to come over and make trouble.”
Tong Xuelu nodded, stuffed the money and food stamps into her hands, turned around and ran away.
Su Xiuying couldn’t help laughing when she saw her escape from the back.
**
Back in the family compound, the people in the compound have already received the news.
Aunt Cai was most reluctant to leave her: “Xuelu, how long have you been here? How can you leave?”
In Aunt Cai’s opinion, Tong Xuelu has a good temper and is kind and generous. She often takes care of her children when she cooks delicious food. It is very comfortable to be a neighbor with her.
The others also nodded quickly: “Yes, there was no news before, and suddenly they said they were going to leave, which is really unacceptable!”
Tong Xuelu made a reluctant expression: “I am also reluctant to give up my aunts, but things have not been settled before. How dare I say that if I turn around and fail to do it, wouldn’t it be a joke?”
Mother Xu asked, “Do you have a place to live in the city? Will anyone look after you in Mianmian?”
Tong Xuelu nodded: “I have found a place to live, and Mianmian has not found a suitable person to look after it for the time being. I will tell the manager at that time to see if I can take it to the hotel.”
The state-run restaurant is busy except for eating, and there is nothing else to do. It is not impossible for her to take the small dumplings to work together.
However, Liu Dongchang, the manager of the state-run hotel, does not look like a good-natured person, and the specific operation will be discussed later.
Everyone saw that she had arranged everything, and after a few words, they broke up.
Lao Lin’s wife was standing at the door of her house, her triangular eyes staring at Tong Xuelu, her eyes flushed with jealousy.
It’s just that she just came back from her parents’ house, and now she didn’t dare to provoke Tong Xuelu again, and snorted from her nostrils and twisted her **** into the house.
After dinner in the evening, Tong Xuelu told the three siblings of the Tong family about moving.
Because Tong Jiaming knew in advance, he was not surprised to hear the news at this moment.
Tong Jiaxin’s round eyes widened perfectly: “When did you change jobs?”
Tong Xuelu: “Today, you go to school tomorrow and tell your teacher that you can’t go to school here, you have to go to the city.”
The state-run hotel gave her five days.
In the past five days, she had to move, but she also had to help Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin to transfer to another school. The time was tight.
Tong Jiaxin looked like a toothache: “Why are you talking now! I don’t want to transfer to another school!”
Tong Xuelu won’t get used to him: “You don’t want to change schools, just stay here, and I will hand over the food stamps and money to Aunt Cai, and you will shop on the ground at her house.”
Tong Jiaxin: “…”
The boy was so angry that he turned to look at Tong Jiaming, wanting to get support from him.
Who knows, Tong Jiaming said: “Then I will start packing things tonight.”
Tong Jiaxin: “…”
The second brother, a traitor, is mad at him!
Tong Mianmian hugged Tong Xuelu’s neck, and said in a milky voice: “Mianmian wants to follow her sister, Mianmian will go wherever she goes.”
Tong Xuelu felt soft when he heard the words, and kissed her face greatly: “My family is the cutest.”
Xiao Tuanzi smiled so that there were two dimples on her cheeks, and shyly buried her face on her shoulders.
Tong Jiaxin: “…”
Come on, one or two are traitors!
**
The next day was Sunday, and the brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin didn’t have to go to class.
Tong Xuelu handed Tong Mianmian to them, and told them to help pack things up, then put on the army satchel, carried a bag of ingredients, and went out.
Today I was lucky. As soon as I arrived at the station, there was a bus to the city. She hurried up.
When she came to the compound, Su Xiuying had opened the door and waited for her at home.
“Comrade Tong, you are here. The mung beans have been soaked for six hours. They should all be soft by now.”
Tong Xuelu gratefully said, “Thank you, Sister Xiuying. By the way, Sister Xiuying won’t call me comrades anymore, just call me Xuelu.”
Su Xiuying smiled and said, “Okay, then I will call you Xuelu from now on.”
Without further ado, Tong Xuelu didn’t talk nonsense, and went in and started cooking.
Before, she was afraid that fish would not be easy to buy, so she told Wen Rugui to see you in the afternoon. Now it seems that she can deliver the things at noon.
That’s okay, they can just eat it for lunch.
She peeled the soaked mung beans and poured out the water, put the mung beans on the steamer and steamed them, and then took them out and mashed them into mung bean paste.
Then sprinkle with the white sugar that I bought yesterday, add water and glutinous rice together, wait for the noodles and mung bean paste to blend together, and then knead it into a round shape. Unfortunately, there is no mold, otherwise it will look better.
After kneading it, put it on the steamer and steam it.
She made five cages of mung bean cakes. Except for Wen Rugui and Su Xiuying, she was going to take them back to the compound and share them with others, thanking them for their time.
The freshly baked mung bean cake exudes the fragrance of mung beans, the color is yellow-orange-orange, one by one, it looks very cute.
She took two out, one to Su Xiuying: “Sister Xiuying taste it and see if it tastes good?”
Su Xiuying was not welcome, and took a bite of the mung bean cake. The mouth was soft and fragrant and waxy, so fragrant that she almost ate her tongue.
“Xuelu, your cooking skills are really good, even better than the mung bean cakes made in state-run restaurants!”
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, “I’m relieved to hear Sister Xiuying say this! I made a lot of cages, and you will bring a cage back to Xiao Qiu to eat.”
Su Xiuying waved her hand quickly: “No way, no way, this thing is so expensive with noodles and sugar, I can’t ask for your things!”
Her parents are gone, and a girl wants to raise several younger siblings, so why is she embarrassed to take her things.
Tong Xuelu: “Sister Xiuying, don’t be polite to me. If you didn’t help me get the fish, I don’t know when I will be busy.”
Su Xiuying also wanted to bring some delicious food for her daughter, so she thought about it and said, “I’ll accept the mung bean cake, but don’t pay me for the fish.”
Tong Xuelu didn’t argue with her, and planned to turn around and secretly put the money in the house.
Then she started with pickled cabbage fish.
The fish Su Xiuying gave was grass carp, so pickled cabbage fish was the most suitable.
She removes the scales and bones of the grass carp, uses a blade to clean the fish, then puts the fish fillets in a basin, pours an egg white, and marinates with **** and green onions for 15 minutes.
During the pickling process, she rinsed the sauerkraut and cut it into small pieces.
When the marinating time is up, heat the pan with oil, add spices and stir fry over high heat.
The essence of sauerkraut fish lies in the seasoning, and when the spices are removed, the fragrance will come out soon.
The whole compound was filled with fragrance, and the children next door cried.
After a series of operations, everyone in the compound was dumbfounded.
Su Xiuying was even more impressed: “Xuelu, your cooking skills are really amazing. I think it’s no problem for you to become a master with this skill!”
But this can only be said. It is not easy to be a master of a state-owned hotel.
Textual research is one thing, but the key is that the master will not let you be a teacher.
Tong Xuelu smiled: “I’m just a sculptor, where can I compare with the master of the restaurant?”
She was going to go to a state-run restaurant to eat and drink spicy food, not to take the spoon!
That’s why she never thought about replacing her as a master.
With so many people in the yard, Su Xiuying couldn’t keep talking about this problem, so she didn’t have to go back and be told out and cause trouble for Tong Xuelu.
Tong Xuelu put the sauerkraut fish on a plate, covered it, and prepared to take it to the car.
Thinking of going to the car with a basin of fish, Tong Xuelu couldn’t help sighing, and missed the modern means of transportation for the 1001st time.
Fortunately, there is a direct bus from here to the military area compound, and it only takes about half an hour.
Su Xiuying helped her carry things to the station and waited for her to get on the bus before returning home.
She was lucky today. She didn’t have to wait for the bus twice, and there was no one in the bus at this time, so she found a place to sit down.
The conductor and the driver didn’t feel surprised that she was holding a basin and getting on the car. These days, chickens and ducks can bring everything on the car, let alone a basin.
But the problem is that the fragrance from this pot is too fragrant!
The driver’s master swallowed and asked, “Big girl, what’s in your basin?”
Tong Xuelu smiled and said: “Sauerkraut fish, I am a waiter in a state-owned restaurant. I have learned something from the master. If the master has time in the future, he can come to our state-owned restaurant to eat. I guarantee your satisfaction!”
When the driver and the conductor heard that she was a waiter in a state-owned hotel, their nostrils suddenly turned upright.
The driver’s master laughed: “That’s daring to love, eldest girl, I can smell your cooking skills!”
Tong Xuelu took the opportunity to make a request: “Master, look at me holding a pot of fish. Will you drive more slowly later, I’m afraid the soup will pour out.”
The driver’s master: “No problem, I will definitely drive it for you!”
With this guarantee, it turned out to be very smooth along the way.
After getting off the bus, Tong Xuelu repeatedly thanked the driver.
**
After walking for ten minutes, he came to the military area compound, but was stopped by the orderly.
“Who are you looking for? What is in your hand?”
Tong Xuelu opened the lid to show him: “It’s pickled cabbage fish, I’m here to find Comrade Wen Ruguiwen, I wonder if you can call him to come out?”
The orderly soldier was hungry by the smell of pickled cabbage fish. He glanced at Tong Xuelu and nodded in and called.
Wen Rugui came back by car overnight last night.
When Grandpa Wen saw him come back, he was so shocked that his beard was curled up and down. He looked up and down his whole body and felt relieved when he found that there was nothing wrong with him.
He woke up before dawn this morning, because he didn’t know when Tong Xuelu would come, so he didn’t dare to go out.
He got up early in the morning to take a shower and wash his hair, and then he cleaned the room again.
Both Mr. Wen and Uncle Zong were at a loss.
Originally thought Tong Xuelu would be able to come in the afternoon, but he didn’t expect that before noon, the doorman called.
Wen Rugui hung up, put on his shoes and rushed out immediately.
As soon as he rushed out, Old Man Wen emerged from Lao Jiang’s house.
Commander Uncle Zong said: “Xiaozong, you can follow me quickly and see what tricks that kid is doing!”
Uncle Zong responded quickly: “It’s the commander, I’m going now!”
Mr. Wen told him: “Be careful, don’t let him find you. If you let him find out, you will get kicked in the ass!”
“Commander, rest assured, I will be careful!”
As a result, a large group of old Zongshu followed up like a sneaky thief.
Wen Rugui ran all the way until he saw Tong Xuelu’s figure far away, and then he stopped.
He pretended to be very calm, and walked over without delay.
Wen Rugui’s voice was faint, and he couldn’t hear his emotions: “Hello, Comrade Tong.”
Tong Xue’s red lips are slightly hooked, and her smile is bright: “Hello, Comrade Wen.”
Wen Rugui’s eyes swept over the charming red mole under her, and her eyelashes trembled slightly: “Didn’t Comrade Tong say that he came here in the afternoon? Why is it so much earlier?”
Tong Xuelu looked into his eyes: “Because I want to see you soon!”
“…”
Wen Rugui’s eyelashes quivered a few times, and he couldn’t count them.
Then there was the heart in the chest cavity on the left.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Jumping old and fast.
The sun fell on him, and the tips of his ears were all red.
Uncle Zong, who was hiding five meters away, showed his head from behind a big tree. When he saw Tong Xuelu next to Wen Rugui, his face, ears, and neck were all red.
He was so excited that his hands trembled: Tender grass, tender grass is here, and he has to go back and notify the commander!
Uncle Zong turned around and ran wildly.
