After Xiao Chengping finished speaking, he looked at Fang Jingyuan with bright eyes. His heart was beating like thunder.
He felt that he was blind to have fallen in love with her. Shouldn't she also be blind to fall in love with him?
Fang Jingyuan's face turned red and white as if she had knocked over a dye shop. She was so angry that she let out a cold laugh. "Haha."
Xiao Chengping saw her blushing face and was immediately overjoyed.
Seeing her smiling so happily and blushing so shyly, he knew that she must be interested in him. She was so cute.
Fang Jingyuan saw his grinning face and became even angrier. She waved at him and said, "Come here."
Xiao Chengping brushed his hair and walked over. "If you think it's suitable, from today onwards, we can start dating ..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Fang Jingyuan pointed to the sky and said, "Look, there's a bird."
Xiao Chengping looked up in the direction she was pointing. At that moment.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Jingyuan raised her leg and kicked at his calf.
Xiao Chengping sucked in a breath of cold air and jumped up like a frog while hugging his calf.
However, the initiator ran away after kicking him. Her angry voice could be heard in the wind.
"Xiao Chengping, listen to me. I, Fang Jingyuan, would never fall in love with you even if I was blind!"
Xiao Chengping hugged his calf in pain and grievance. "..."
Why?
Was he not handsome enough or manly enough?
Fang Jingyuan rushed to Tong Xuelu's house angrily. The anger on her face had not dissipated.
Tong Xuelu asked, "What's wrong with you? Who made you angry? "
Fang Jingyuan looked around and said in a low voice, "It's that mung bean eyed Xiao Chengping. With his ugly face, he actually dared to say that he was blind to fall in love with me. Bah, do you think I care about his blindness?"
Tong Xuelu: "..."
Xiao Chengping's words of love made it clear that he was single based on his own ability.
Jiang Danhong looked up while helping to pack the things. "Comrade Xiao is probably confessing to you, right? It's just that his words are a little unpleasant to hear. "
Fang Jingyuan was so angry that he gritted his teeth. "What do you mean by a little unpleasant? It's very unpleasant. He must be blind to fall in love with me. He's making it sound like I'm a loser and I need him to take pity on me. I'm so angry!"
If he had known earlier, he would have kicked him a few more times. It was too easy on him.
Tong Xuelu looked at her angry face and suddenly felt that she and Xiao Chengping were a quarrelsome couple.
Outside, Wen Rugui and Pu Jianyi were helping to move the big things, but there weren't many things. The bed and table were bought by Wen Rugui.
Now that they had moved to the Courtyard, Grandpa had already asked someone to build a new bed board and table in advance, so they only had to move some trivial things.
However, they were reluctant to leave the vegetables and fruit trees in the courtyard.
Tong Xuelu decided to dig up the fruit trees later. Otherwise, there would be no one living here and they might wither and die.
With so many people, it was easy to pack. Wen Rugui borrowed a jeep and came over to take the things to the new house.
After the big things were moved into the jeep, everyone was ready to carry the small things with their hands.
Tong Xuelu asked everyone to leave first. She stayed behind to check if they had left anything behind.
She walked through the house one by one. Everything had been moved away, and it felt as if the house was empty.
She ran her hands over the glass window and the table. Suddenly, she felt a surge of reluctance.
The door was dark, and Wen Rugui walked in with his long legs. "Don't worry, I won't sell this house. In the future ... we can come back and live here."
Tong Xuelu turned around and looked at him. "If we move here, do you want Grandpa to live in the courtyard alone?"
Based on the Wen family's situation, they would definitely have to live with Grandpa and Uncle Zong after they got married.
Wen Rugui's ears turned red. "What I mean is ... the two of us can come and stay here for a day or two occasionally."
Wow.
He actually came up with such a romantic idea.
Tong Xuelu walked over and poked his chest. "Where did you learn this from? You're becoming more and more of a rogue. "
Wen Rugui panicked. "If you don't like it, I won't be like this in the future."
Tong Xuelu's hand drew circles on his chest and looked up at him. "Don't be nervous. I didn't say that I don't like it, but you can only do this to me. Do you understand?"
Wen Rugui nodded and stared at her with his dark eyes. "Don't worry. In this lifetime, I'll only be a rogue to you."
"..."
Tong Xuelu almost couldn't hold back her laughter when she heard these cheesy words.
"By the way, how's your colleague, Zhou Yan?"
Her words reminded Wen Rugui of the embarrassing scene that day, and his face turned red again. "He said that he'll go back and find an old Chinese doctor. After Qimin found out about this, he gave his son's one-month-old diapers to him."
Tong Xuelu looked confused. "What's the use of this?"
Wen Rugui said, "I heard that it can benefit Zhou Yan and give birth to a son."
"They're all going to have a son. Do you want a son too? If I give birth to a daughter in the future, will you dislike her? "
Tong Xuelu frowned when she heard him mention the word 'son'.
Wen Rugui's gaze was fixed on her face. He immediately noticed her frown. "No, it doesn't matter if it's a son or a daughter. As long as it's your child, I'll like it."
Tong Xuelu licked his lips and said with a hint of unwillingness, "What if I can't give birth to a child? What will you do? "
Wen Rugui held her hand. "If you can't give birth to a child, then don't. If you don't want to, then don't."
Anyway, he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, not with a child. If they had a child, then they would enjoy the happiness of a family. If they didn't, then they would just spend time alone.
Her figure was reflected in his eyes, and his eyes were filled with tenderness.
Tong Xuelu's heart skipped a beat. She held his hand and intertwined their fingers. "Let's go. Don't make everyone wait for us."
Wen Rugui looked at their intertwined hands, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose. "Okay."
**
There were a lot of things to pack when they arrived at the courtyard house.
By the time the three families had finished packing, everyone was so tired that they couldn't even straighten their backs.
Tong Xuelu said, "Thank you so much for today. I'll treat everyone to a meal at the state-run restaurant."
The kitchen wasn't fully prepared yet, and she was so tired that she really didn't want to cook.
Although everyone felt that it was a pity that they couldn't eat the food that she cooked, no one would ask for too much at this time.
Jiang Danhong said, "I know a state-run restaurant that tastes good. Let me show you the way."
Tong Xuelu's heart skipped a beat, and she glanced at her quietly.
They used to live in the south of the city, and now the courtyard house was in the north of the city. Naturally, the state-run restaurant they were going to was not the Winter leaf Restaurant.
When they arrived at the state-run restaurant and saw Manager Deng's face, Tong Xuelu felt that it was as expected.
When Manager Deng saw Jiang Danhong and a group of people coming over, he was stunned. "Teacher Jiang, Comrade Tong, are you here to eat?"
Jiang Danhong looked at him and smiled. "Yes. Is there anything left in the restaurant?"
Manager Deng welcomed them in and nodded. "Yes, yes. Come in and have a seat."
When they entered the restaurant, everyone looked around. It was not as big as the Winter Leaf Restaurant, but it was very clean. The tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and there was no dust in the corners.
There were only two waiters in the restaurant, and they could not serve everyone at once. Jiang Danhong helped to serve everyone.
Tong Xuelu saw this scene, but she did not say anything.
To reward everyone, Tong Xuelu told everyone not to save money for her. They could order whatever they wanted to eat.
Even so, the state-run restaurant had a limited supply. In the end, they only ordered two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and three plates of dumplings.
Pu Jianyi picked up a piece of braised pork and tasted it. "The taste is average. It can't be compared to Xuelu's."
As soon as he said this, Jiang Danhong looked at him. "Can't you stuff your mouth when there's food to eat?"
Pu Jianyi was speechless.
Pu Jianyi felt that he had been scolded unjustly. However, he was pursuing Jiao Yunshi, and Jiang Danhong was Jiao Yunshi's good friend. Therefore, he could only swallow this insult.
Halfway through the meal, a little girl ran in. When she saw Jiang Danhong, she called out in a crisp voice, "Ms. Jiang."
Jiang Danhong turned around and rubbed the little girl's head with a smile. "Xiaojia, are you done with school?"
Deng Xiaojia nodded obediently. "Yes. Ms. Jiang, I have a question that I don't know how to do. Can you explain it to me?"
Jiang Danhong hurriedly said, "What question? Quickly show it to me."
Manager Deng walked out of the kitchen and said in disapproval, "Xiao Jia, Teacher Jiang is eating. If you ask questions now, you will disturb her."
Deng Xiaojia pouted and lowered her head as if she had done something wrong.
Jiang Danhong said, "Manager Deng, don't scold her. Homework is more important. Besides, I'm already full."
As she spoke, she pulled Deng Xiaojia to the next table to help her with her homework.
Fang Jingyuan leaned over to Tong Xuelu and said in a low voice, "Don't you think Sister Danhong is a little strange?"
Tong Xuelu gave her a piece of very fat braised pork. "Eat more meat."
Fang Jingyuan looked at the trembling fat and grinned. "You know me best. I like to eat fat."
After speaking, she ate the fat and greasy pork in one bite.
Tong Xuelu was speechless.
After the meal, everyone went back to their own homes.
On the way back, Wen Rugui saw her frowning slightly and asked in a low voice, "Are you worried about Comrade Jiang?"
Tong Xuelu looked up. "You can tell?"
Wen Rugui nodded. "You look at Comrade Jiang more often than you look at me."
These words sounded aggrieved, like a jealous child.
Tong Xuelu couldn't help but laugh. She blinked at him and said, "Then from now on, I'll only look at you?"
Wen Rugui's face turned red, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. He nodded gently and said, "Yes."
Tong Xuelu felt that he was too cute like this.
"Comrade Jiang is an adult. She has the freedom to be with whomever she wants. But personally, I don't think it's easy to be a stepmother."
Manager Deng's character and ability were good, but he had a six or seven-year-old child. It wasn't easy to be a stepmother.
Moreover, Jiang Danhong was married and had a child. She didn't know if Manager Deng could accept her past.
Wen Rugui said, "We'll cross that bridge when we get there. You said that she's an adult. She'll definitely handle these things well."
Tong Xuelu nodded.
Although Jiang Danhong yearned for family warmth, she was a person who would rather go without than have something substandard. She was more assertive than many women.
If Manager Deng wasn't suitable for her, she definitely wouldn't be obsessed with him.
After thinking it through, Tong Xuelu threw his worries to the back of his mind.
**
On Sunday, Tong Xuelu brought red date cake and green bean cake back to the dormitory.
Her roommates thought she was just joking. They didn't expect her to really bring food back.
Xie Xiaoyan picked up the red date cake and took a bite. Her eyes lit up. "It's delicious. This red date cake is soft and sticky. It's sweet but not greasy. It's the best I've ever eaten."
The others hurriedly picked it up and tasted it, praising it one after another.
Gao Min said, "Xuelu, I heard that you used to be the manager of Winter Leaf Restaurant. I also heard that you have a first-class chef certificate. I didn't expect it to be true. The food you cook is really delicious."
The others were shocked. "Xuelu is such a good cook?"
Gao Min nodded proudly. "That's right. You're not from Beijing, so you might not know. Xuelu's beef meatballs and malatang were very popular in Beijing for a while."
Choi Rourou elegantly took a bite of the green bean cake and glanced at her. "Since it's so popular, why haven't you tried it since you're from Beijing?"
Gao Min blushed and glared at her. "What does it have to do with you?"
Choi Rourou sneered and put the green bean cake into her mouth. She clapped her hands and stood up. Then she turned around and went back to her bed.
Gao Min stared at her back and silently cursed, "Slut."
Tong Xuelu was a little confused.
When she left on Friday, they were on good terms. How did it become like this two days later?
Xie Xiaoyan winked at her and tilted her lips towards the door.
Tong Xuelu understood immediately and quickly found an excuse to leave.
When she went outside, Xie Xiaoyan followed her out.
"Xuelu, are you curious about what happened between Gao Min and Choi Rourou?"
Tong Xuelu nodded. "Did they quarrel?"
Xie Xiaoyan scratched her chin. "I guess so. This afternoon, Gao Min's cousin came to see her. Her cousin brought a male classmate with him. Gao Min was very enthusiastic about that male classmate."
"They had a good chat at first. Later, Choi Rourou came back. Choi Rourou took the initiative to chat with that male classmate. It seemed that he neglected Gao Min. When he left, Gao Min called Choi Rourou a vixen."
Tong Xuelu did not expect so many things to happen after she left for two days. "Isn't Choi Rourou married? Could it be that Gao Min is too sensitive?"
Xie Xiaoyan scratched her head. "I don't know, but that male classmate is quite good-looking."
Tong Xuelu suddenly had an idea. She asked calmly, "What's that male classmate's name?"
Xie Xiaoyan: "I only know that his surname is Shi. I don't know his name."
Tong Xuelu's pupils shrank. "By the way, what department is Gao Min's cousin in?"
Xie Xiaoyan: "Chinese Department. I wanted to apply for the Chinese Department, but the competition was too fierce."
Chinese, history, mathematics, physics, and chemistry were popular after the college entrance exams were reinstated. Their admission scores were higher than other departments.
Tong Xuelu sneered in her heart when she heard the words "Chinese Department".
It seemed like Shi Junmin was more anxious than she thought. He actually snuck into her dormitory while she was away.
Suddenly, she knew that something was wrong. She said calmly, "Let's go back and read."
Xie Xiaoyan nodded.
Tong Xuelu returned to her dormitory. She glanced at the books on her bed and table.
First, she changed her pillowcase and quilt cover.
When her roommates saw her like this, they could not help but feel strange. "Xuelu, are you going to wash your quilt? Isn't it a little late now? "
Tong Xuelu nodded. "I'll wash it tomorrow. I'll change now."
Gao Min: "You've only slept with this quilt for less than two weeks. Why are you changing it so quickly? You're too clean, aren't you?"
Tong Xuelu: "I sweated so much during the military training. I should have changed it a long time ago. But I'm in a hurry to go back on Friday. Also, I'm a bit of a clean freak. Other than being too clean, I don't like other people touching my things."
When she said this, her roommates looked at each other.
Gao Min suddenly looked at Xie Xiaoyan. "Xiaoyan, did you say something to Xuelu?"
Xie Xiaoyan: "What did I say? I said that you brought your cousin and your male classmate over. Isn't that the truth? "
Gao Min glared at her. She turned around and explained to Tong Xuelu, "Xuelu, don't misunderstand. My cousin came over. They sat on the stools and did not touch your bed. Also, they only stayed for a while before leaving."
Tong Xuelu looked up and smiled at her. "Don't worry. I'm not talking about you. I'm just telling everyone that I don't like other people touching my things."
Tong Xuelu tidied up her bed and went to tidy up her books.
Just as she finished tidying up, she suddenly heard chaotic footsteps in the corridor outside. Then, someone knocked on the dormitory door.
The girls in the dormitory were all shocked. Xie Xiaoyan almost fell off her bed.
"Room 201, open the door!"
The person who knocked on the door was very rough and banged on the wooden door.
Tian Fengzhi hurriedly ran to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, the dormitory auntie and two female teachers rushed in.
One of them was a tall woman with high cheekbones. She glanced at them and said, "All of you, stand to the side. Don't move."
The girls in the dormitory were frightened by the teacher's appearance. Lin Lanjuan was especially scared. Her face was pale and she was about to cry.
Tong Xuelu was the calmest of them all.
She looked at the teacher and said, "Teacher, we can do as you say. But can you tell us what happened?"
As Tong Xuelu had spoken as the student representative and caused such a big commotion that day, the female teachers naturally recognized Tong Xuelu.
Her tone was a little better than before. "We received a report that illegal things were hidden in your dormitory. We want to search the dormitory."
Tong Xuelu nodded. "I see. Teachers, go ahead."
After saying that, she stood to the side and didn't move.
Xie Xiaoyan and the others also stood to the side when they saw her like this.
The female teacher was quite satisfied with Tong Xuelu and the others' understanding of the situation. She led the dormitory auntie and the other teacher to start rummaging through the rooms.
Wardrobes, blankets, pillows, and books. Everything that could be hidden was searched. Everything was in a mess.
It was as if a house had been raided.
The female teacher searched back and forth twice, but she didn't find anything illegal.
Her gaze fell on the girls and she frowned. "If you're hiding illegal things, take them out now. If you confess, you'll be lenient. If you resist, you'll be punished severely. I advise you not to resist."
The girls looked at each other. They were so scared that their faces turned pale.
Lin Lanjuan started sobbing at the side.
The female teacher shouted, "Why are you crying? Did you hide illegal things? "
Lin Lanjuan's legs went weak and she almost fainted. "I didn't. Teacher, I didn't ..."
The female teacher glared at her. "If you didn't, then why are you crying? You're obviously guilty. "
As she spoke, she walked over and searched Lin Lanjuan's pockets. Lin Lanjuan bit her lip. She was clearly humiliated, but she didn't dare to make a sound.
Then, they searched the other girls.
When it was Tong Xuelu's turn, she directly took out her pockets. "Teacher, can I ask what you're searching for?"
"If you want to search, we're willing to cooperate. But if you want to search our bodies without any evidence, you're obviously treating us as criminals. If this gets out, I'm afraid it won't be good for our school's reputation."
When the female teacher heard her words, her hands trembled. She immediately retracted her hands that were about to reach out to her. "It's nothing. It's just some illegal things. Since you didn't find anything, that's the best."
After speaking, she didn't apologize and left with her people.
The dormitory was a mess.
Books fell to the ground. Pillows and blankets were in a mess. Gao Min's blankets fell to the ground during the search. They were stepped on a few times and looked dirty.
The clothes in the wardrobe were also pulled out. Her underwear fell to the ground, but she didn't pick it up.
Seeing all this, the girls in the dormitory were so angry that their eyes turned red and tears fell.
The people from the other dormitory stood outside and watched, pointing at their dormitory.
"You said that the teacher was searching for illegal things?"
"How would I know? But it's not good. Otherwise, why would she only search their dormitory?"
"You're right. I think we should hurry up and leave. Otherwise, we'll be implicated."
When everyone heard this, they all left.
Only Jiang Baihui didn't leave. He ran in and asked with concern, "Xuelu, are you okay? Why did the teacher search your dormitory? "
Tong Xuelu shook her head. "I'm fine. As for why the teacher wanted to search our dormitory, I don't know either."
Jiang Baihui helped her tidy up her books and blankets. "It's really strange. But it's a good thing that she didn't find anything."
Tong Xuelu smiled at her and picked up the flattened mung bean cake and red date cake. "I'm sorry. I brought these two for you. It seems that they can't be eaten now."
Jiang Baihui's heart ached when she heard that they were for her. "Fortunately, they were wrapped in paper and weren't dirty. They can still be eaten."
As she spoke, she picked up a lump of mung bean flour and put it into her mouth. Her eyes turned into crescents as she smiled.
"They're delicious. Although they're flattened, they're still delicious."
Tong Xuelu looked at her silly smile and smiled. "I'll bring more for you next time."
Jiang Baihui's eyes lit up like the stars in the night sky. "Really? I'll remember that. "
Tong Xuelu nodded and continued to tidy up.
After tidying up, Jiang Baihui went back to her dormitory.
The atmosphere in the dormitory was very heavy. No one spoke.
Tong Xuelu looked at everyone. "Although we don't know who reported us today, and we don't know what the teacher wanted to find, I suggest that we don't bring anyone back to the dormitory in the future. What do you think?"
Gao Min looked up at her. "What do you mean? Are you trying to say that we were reported because of my cousin and his classmate? "
Tong Xuelu said expressionlessly, "I didn't say anything. I just don't want outsiders to come to our dormitory again."
Xie Xiaoyan said, "I agree with Tong Xuelu."
Choi Rourou said, "I agree too."
Tian Fengzhi and Lin Lanjuan also agreed.
No one said that Gao Min's cousin reported them. After all, her cousin wouldn't do something like that to his own cousin. But it was too much of a coincidence.
It was better not to bring anyone back in the future.
Gao Min was so angry that her face turned red. She stomped her feet and didn't say anything.
"In that case, the minority obeys the majority. In the future, no one should bring outsiders back to the dormitory."
After Tong Xuelu finished speaking, she took her toothbrush and enamel jar and went to wash up. When she came back, she went to bed.
The other people in the dormitory usually studied until late at night. But after this incident, no one was in the mood to study.
After washing up, they all went to bed.
When the breathing in the dormitory gradually calmed down, Tong Xuelu opened her eyes.
She took out a piece of paper from her underwear. Her eyes were burning with anger.
She was holding a piece of paper in her hand. It was filled with all kinds of reactionary words. Not only were there words about the leader of the opposition party, but there were also words that cursed the supreme leader.
If this kind of thing was found, she was afraid that she would lose her life here!
At that time, even if her grandfather was the commander, he might not be able to save her. He might even be implicated by her.
Very good, Shi Junmin.
You have succeeded in provoking me.
The corners of Tong Xuelu's mouth curled up coldly.
If she didn't kill him, she would change Tong Xuelu's surname to shit!
