The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s - Chapter 31

[Chapter 31]

Tong Xuelu was stunned for a moment, wondering if Wen Rugui would come back so soon, right?

She tidied up her clothes and walked towards the door.

When she was about to open the door, she still asked cautiously, “Who is it?”

At this time, there was no surveillance, no cat’s eyes, and no security door. If someone stood outside, it would be very dangerous for her to open the door.

A strange woman’s voice came from outside: “Hello, I’m next door to you. My husband’s surname is Wei.” The

voice sounded kind, so Tong Xuelv opened the door a crack.

I saw a woman in her fifties standing at the door.

The other party was fair-skinned, with generous facial features, wearing a white “True Liang” shirt on the upper body, and “True Liang” black trousers on the lower body, and there was not a single fold on the clothes.

Tong Xuelu looked at the woman in front of her, and three words appeared in her mind: rich.

Although “really good” began to appear in the early 1960s, they were all produced in small batches for export to earn foreign exchange, and only a small amount would be exported for domestic sales in several cities in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai.

It takes hours to queue up to buy a piece of “really good” clothes, and the key point is that the clothes are very expensive!

A shirt costs about 15 yuan, and the monthly salary of an ordinary worker is only 30 yuan. Most people are reluctant to spend money on such a piece of clothing.

It is no exaggeration to say that the “really good” of this era is just like the later LV and GUCCI, both are status symbols.

And the woman in front of her has a whole set of “really good”, isn’t she rich?

When Tong Xuelu was looking at the woman in front of her, the woman was also looking at Tong Xuelu.

Her black and white eyes flashed with amazement, and then her brows furrowed.

She felt that the person in front of her was a little familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen it for a while.

With a gentle and kind smile on Shen Wanrong’s face, she

said, “My husband’s surname is Wei, my surname is Shen, and my two grandchildren and I live next door to you.” She pointed to the small courtyard on the right, and Tong Xuelu . The courtyards here are about five or six meters apart.

Tong Xuelu looked in the direction she pointed: “Hello, my name is Tong Xuelu, Tong is Tong in winter next to a single person, my younger siblings and I just moved in today, because the house hasn’t been tidy up, so we haven’t done it yet. Visit everyone in the past.”

Shen Wanrong was slightly startled.

The last name is Tong?

There is no one surnamed Tong among the people she knows.

But what she said just now only mentioned herself and her younger siblings, but didn’t mention her parents. Could it be that their parents are not there?

But if you don’t have parents, how can you afford or rent such a house?

Shen Wanrong had a lot of doubts in her heart, but it was difficult to ask questions because they were not familiar with each other.

“We only moved here this year. This house has been empty and no one lives in it. Now that you are here, you will have company.” She handed over the chestnuts she brought, “this is for us by relatives. The chestnuts sent are very soft and glutinous, you can take them back and eat them.”

Tong Xuelu never liked to push it around, since she wants to live here in the future, it is a common thing for neighbors to send food.

So she didn’t refuse, and took it with a smile: “Then I’m welcome, thank you grandma Shen, chestnuts in autumn are the best.”

Shen Wanrong also didn’t like to push it around, seeing Tong Xuelu’s generosity Fang put the things away, and his impression of her was even better.

At this moment, a chubby little girl ran out of the yard: “Grandma, where have you been? Zhuzhu didn’t see you when she woke up!”

Shen Wanrong saw her granddaughter with a big smile on her face: ” Run slowly and be careful not to fall!”

As soon as the words fell, the little girl stomped her feet, then sat down on the ground, and fell again: “Oh, grandma, I fell, I want you to hug!”

Tong Xuelv: “…” She played like this at a

young age Jing, do you have to grow up?

It’s just that the acting is a bit too perfunctory.

But Shen Wanrong didn’t take it at all. She smiled and walked over to pick up her granddaughter. She scolded softly, “The ground is so dirty, how can you say lie down when you lie down? I’ll have to change clothes later.”

Wei Zhuzhu pouted: “Grandma I fell, and the clothes are dirty, just take a pat, grandma, who did you talk to just now?”

Shen Wanrong: “There is a new neighbor next door, grandma came to say hello.”

“Is that the elder sister?” Wei Zhuzhu asked Tong Tong Xue Lu looked over, her eyes suddenly brightened, “Sister is so beautiful! Grandma, please hug me over here! I want to see my beautiful sister!”

Shen Wanrong came over with her granddaughter in her arms, and said with a helpless smile: “I made you laugh, this child has grown up since he was a child. I just like good-looking things and people.”

Who doesn’t?

Tong Xuelu, who has a serious face control, smiled and expressed her understanding: “I also like good-looking people.”

Wei Zhuzhu’s eyes brightened when she heard this: “Sure enough, good-looking people all think the same way. Grandpa said this is called Heroes see the same thing!”

Tong Xuelv was amused by her self-confident appearance, she was really an interesting child.

A doting and helpless smile appeared on Shen Wanrong’s face.

At this moment, Tong Jiaxin came out of the room and happened to be seen by Wei Zhuzhu.

Wei Zhuzhu immediately struggled to get down: “Grandma, hurry me down, I saw a good-looking brother!”

Tong Jiaxin was startled when he heard this: Good-looking brother? say him? Count her eyesight!

Wei Zhuzhu is six years old this year, a little taller and a little bigger than the average child. Shen Wanrong couldn’t hold her at all with her struggle.

Wei Zhuzhu jumped down and rushed in front of Tong Jiaxin like a firecracker: “Hello brother, my name is Wei Zhuzhu, what’s your name?”

“Wei Zhuzhu?” Tong Jiaxin widened his eyes, then burst out laughing, “It’s good your parents I got you an extra bead, otherwise you’ll become a pig feeder, hahaha…”

Tong Xuelu: “…” This arrogant child really doesn’t get a roof over his head for a day.

The person who was embarrassed just now was Shen Wanrong, but now it’s Tong Xuelu’s turn: “I’m really sorry, my brother is too arrogant, I’ll take care of him later!”

Shen Wanrong smiled and waved her hand: “It’s okay, the child’s business is all about it. It’s up to their children to solve it.”

Wei Zhuzhu inside was very generous: “Brother, for the sake of your good looks, I won’t be mad at you this time, but you haven’t told me your name yet?”

Tong Jia Xin snorted: “Why should I tell you your name? You are not good-looking!”

Wei Zhuzhu: “Brother, you are so good-looking, why are your eyes not good? I am very good-looking, and you don’t tell me My name is yours, how can I be a good friend with you?”

Tong Jiaxin’s nostrils were about to go up: “I don’t want to be friends with girls!”

“…”

Tong Xuelu saw her mouth twitching from the outside.

She didn’t understand how Tong Jiaxin, a straight man, got a wife in his last life?

At this moment, Tong Jiaming came out of the room: “Jiaxin, you can’t be so impolite!”

Although Tong Jiaxin was very dissatisfied, seeing his second brother’s stern face, he was also a little cowardly.

But before he could apologize, Wei Zhuzhu pushed him away and rushed in front of Tong Jiaming, smiling sweetly: “Hello brother, my name is Wei Zhuzhu, what’s your name?”

Tong Jiaxin: “…?”

Tong Jiaming said: “Hello, my name is Tong Jiaming, that’s my younger brother Tong Jiaxin.”

Wei Zhuzhu laughed until her eyes narrowed: “Brother, you are not only good-looking, but also have a nice voice, and you are so gentle to people, brother, you are really Good!”

Tong Xuelu was amazed.

When I was young, I knew how to shoot rainbow farts. When I grow up, are you afraid that I won’t be able to catch up with a beautiful little brother?

Tong Jiaming has never seen a person who speaks so directly, with a handsome face flushed like a pig’s liver.

Tong Mianmian kicked her short legs out of the room: “Sister, you are right, my second brother is very good.”

Wei Zhuzhu saw Tong Mianmian’s eyes light up again: “Sister, you are so good-looking, just like your second brother. It’s good-looking!” The

little dumpling blushed and twisted her little body: “Sister is also good-looking.”

Wei Zhuzhu nodded: “I know, I’m good-looking, but my brother is ugly, I really envy you for being so good-looking. My elder sister and elder brother!”

Tong Mianmian blinked her big eyes, tilted her head and said in a milky voice, “Is your elder brother as ugly as my third elder brother?”

Tong Jiaxin: “…??”

Wei Zhuzhu: “No, My eldest brother, you are much uglier than the third brother!”

Tong Mianmian opened his mouth in shock, as if he was saying, “Is there anyone else who looks uglier than the third brother? How ugly is that?”

Tong Jiaxin: “… “…”

My sister, I’m heartbroken! ! !

Tong Jiaxin felt that his heart was broken.

Tong Xuelu laughed until tears came out of her listening to several children.

Wei Zhuzhu thinks that the Tong family is very good-looking, and she doesn’t want to go home: “grandma, I want to play here.”

Shen Wanrong: “Didn’t you see that my sisters and brothers are cleaning? You will delay others here, etc. They’ve cleaned up, you can come and play later.”

Wei Zhuzhu thought for a while and said, “Okay, then I’ll come back tomorrow!”

**

After Shen Wanrong and Wei Zhuzhu’s grandparents left, Tong Xuelv went back to the room to comb her hair, and then went to the vegetable station to buy vegetables.

Before going out, she asked Tong Jiaming to wash the rice and cook, and then cooked the chestnuts and peeled them.

Every time she buys something, Tong Xuelu deeply feels how deficient material is in this era.

This time was different from before. She didn’t find a way to flatter her, so she could only obediently queue up.

After waiting in line for almost an hour, I bought a handful of rapeseed, two cabbage and three tomatoes.

The meat in the supply and marketing cooperative has long been sold out, and only eggs are left.

With what happened last time, she didn’t dare to go to the black market to buy things easily at this moment.

She went back with vegetables and eggs, sighing in her heart that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

When I got home, I heard Tong Jiaxin’s cheers at the door.

“Great, we will have eggs to eat in the future! Second brother, leave the chicken feeding to me in the future!”

Chicken feeding?

Where’s the chicken at home?

Tong Xuelv knocked on the door with questions: “Mianmian, my sister is back.”

A footstep came towards the door, Tong Xuelv thought it would be Tong Jiaming who came to open the door, but who knew that the door was opened, Wen Rugui’s incomparably handsome face appeared in front of her.

Tong Xuelu was startled for a moment: “Are you coming back so soon?”

Come back.

Wen Rugui never felt that these two words sounded so wonderful: “Well, I’ll be back after returning the car.”

He naturally took the things in her hands.

Men really need training.

Tong Xuelu was very satisfied with his initiative to bring things up.

She closed the door, walked in and asked, “By the way, I heard what happened to chicken feeding outside?”

Wen Rugui’s eyelashes trembled slightly: “I bought two chickens with my friend, Congratulations on your housewarming.”

Tong Xuelu looked towards Tong Jiaxin and saw a chubby hen huddled in the corner, looking frightened.

Tong Mianmian stared at the old hen with big watery eyes, looking very shocked.

The family’s compound is not big enough, and the smell of chickens will be very strong. No one raises chickens in the compound, so this is the first time Tong Mianmian has seen live chickens.

Tong Xuelu looked back: “Thank you, I made you spend money again, but didn’t you just say you had two chickens?

Where’s the other one?” Wen Rugui: “It’s done, it’s in the kitchen.”

Tong Xuelu Eyes lit up: “It’s great, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to entertain you tonight! Then I’ll make braised chestnut chicken, garlic cabbage, and tomato egg drop soup later. .”

Wen Rugui listened and couldn’t help swallowing: “Okay.”

After bringing the things to the kitchen, Tong Xuelv asked Tong Jiaming to come and help.

Wen Rugui said that he could also help, but Tong Xuelv did not agree.

She asked Tong Mianmian to pull him to the hall to sit.

**

There are several bales of dry wood and straw in the kitchen that will last for a few days.

Tong Xuelu asked Tong Jiaming to wash the vegetables and peel the garlic, and she started to clean the old hen.

Fortunately, the old hen was killed, otherwise she would not dare to kill the chicken.

But this old hen looks delicious, unlike the chickens that were fed and grown up later, the meat is fat and tender, and it is tight.

The thought of the braised chestnut chicken in a while makes one want to drool.

She removed the neck and buttocks of the chicken, cut it into cubes, cleaned it and blanched it with blood.

Put cold oil in the pan, after the oil is hot, add onion, ginger, garlic, star anise and other seasonings to stir-fry, stir-fry until fragrant, pour in chicken, stir-fry repeatedly until discolored, then add soy sauce and rock sugar, then add boiling water and simmer over high heat, boil and pour in chestnut.

The aroma of the chestnuts and the chicken are combined in the simmering, melding the aroma of the seasoning, and both the chestnut and the chicken are cooked to an attractive maroon color when the juice is collected.

The scent permeated the house.

Tong Xuelu sprinkled chopped green onion on top of the braised chestnut chicken, and the green chopped green onion set off the red chestnut chicken.

Full of color and flavor!

She handed the chestnut chicken to Tong Jiaming: “Take it to the hall and cover it with a basin.” The

chestnut chicken exudes a fragrant and attractive fragrance, which is aimed directly at Tong Jiaming’s nose, making him swallow.

Tong Jiaxin, who was in touch with the hen in the courtyard, rushed over when he smelled the fragrance: “Second brother, it’s so fragrant! Can I have a taste first?”

Tong Jiaxin said while swallowing, feeling that he was not very hungry Yes, but now he smells the aroma, and he thinks he can eat two cows!

Tong Jiaming refused: “No!”

Tong Jiaxin groaned when he heard the words, and followed the scent into the hall all the way.

In the hall, Wen Rugui and Tong Mianmian were staring at each other.

Seeing the two come in, Wen Rugui could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He really didn’t know how to get along with children, especially such a delicate and soft girl.

After making the braised chestnut chicken, Tong Xuelu quickly made a garlic cabbage and a tomato egg drop soup.

After the dishes were done, she decided to make another red date cake, which Wen Rugui would bring back.

She washed and cored the red dates, put them in a steamer, and steamed them until they were soft. After mashing them, they poured them into the flour together with the sugar and yeast, and stirred them evenly. While stirring, they poured warm water into the flour until the flour became a batter.

She poured the batter into the steamer to steam, then she went to the yard to wash her face, and then went to the hall to eat.

In the hall, the two brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin have already packed their meals, just waiting for Tong Xuelu to come over alone.

Tong Jiaxin was so hungry that he stretched his neck and looked out the door, the saliva in his mouth was about to be swallowed dry.

Seeing Tong Xuelu come in, his eyes suddenly lit up like a thief.

Wen Rugui saw her blushing hot, and suddenly regretted her decision to stay after dinner.

If he didn’t stay, she wouldn’t have to cook so many meals.

Tong Xuelu didn’t feel that she was working hard. She enjoyed the process of cooking very much, and she also liked watching others enjoy the food she made.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she smiled with red lips: “Why are you all looking at me? Let’s eat.”

Tong Jiaxin cheered: “That’s great, it’s time for dinner!”

Wen Rugui looked at the braised chestnut chicken, I really wanted to take a piece for Tong Xuelu, but there were so many people sitting on the table together.

He thought about it, but in the end he didn’t do it.

Tong Xuelu took a chestnut and put it in his mouth. The taste was soft and fragrant, which was very good.

“Comrade Wen, you’re welcome, eat more chicken, this chestnut is delicious too.”

“Okay.”

Wen Rugui took a piece of chicken and took a bite.

The chicken is tender and smooth, and the rich aroma jumps in the mouth, making people addicted to it.

Tong Jiaxin has always been the most loyal fan of gourmet food. He poured the soup on the rice, eating the rice and the meat, and it was so fragrant.

“It’s so delicious! I used to think braised pork was the best meat I’ve ever eaten, but now I think braised chestnut chicken is even better than braised pork!”

“If only I could eat this every day!”

No one Heed what he said, because everyone was burying their heads in hardship.

Although Wen Rugui didn’t say anything, he agreed with Tong Jiaxin’s words very much.

The braised chestnut chicken was so fragrant, the garlic cabbage was crunchy and delicious, and the tomato egg drop soup was delicious.

He suddenly didn’t regret staying.

But thinking of the pickled fish that he hadn’t been able to eat before, his resentment deepened.

After half an hour, all the dishes on the table were cleaned up.

Tong Jiaxin leaned on the chair and touched his stomach, feeling that this kind of life is called life.

When the old family came here, sweet potato porridge served with sauerkraut every day, what kind of life was it? !

After a meal, the red date cake is also steamed.

After letting it cool down, Tong Xuelu cut the red date cake into pieces and wrapped it up and handed it to Wen Rugui who was about to go back: “This is the red date cake, a thank you gift for you, thank you very much today!”

If it wasn’t for his help, she would have There is no way to rent such a good house.

Without him cleaning up the house in advance, she couldn’t have the peace of mind she does now.

Without him borrowing a car to help move, she didn’t know how many times she had to toss back and forth.

She couldn’t even eat meat without him bringing chicken and hens.

She owes him too much favor, and she will have to pay it back slowly in the future.

Wen Rugui didn’t expect that she even made red date cakes in the kitchen just now.

After getting along a few times, he also knew that Tong Xuelu was not like other girls who were twisted.

He took the red date cake and raised his lips slightly: “Thank you for your hospitality, the food is delicious.”

Tong Xuelu looked at the sky and urged: “Go back quickly, so you don’t have a car to go back later.”

“Okay.”

It was time to go.

He took three days off from the scientific research center, and he had to rush back overnight if he said anything tonight, otherwise the dean might come to arrest him in person tomorrow. After sending Wen Rugui

to the door, Tong Xuelu waved to him: “If you want to come over for dinner in the future, feel free to come over, and I will make it for you.”

, as if smeared with rouge.

Seeing her smiling face, Wen Rugui’s heart moved: “Okay.”

After saying this, he forced himself to turn around and leave.

Seeing Wen Rugui’s figure disappearing at the entrance of the alley, Tong Xuelv closed the door and went back.

**In

these years of material scarcity, everyone is trying to be self-sufficient as much as possible, and the military compound is no exception.

In the military compound, there is a special place for everyone to grow vegetables and raise chickens. Naturally, it is not enough to raise too many, but it is still possible to raise one or two per household.

The Wen family also raised two hens, and the two hens were raised by Mr. Wen himself from young chickens to old hens.

Mr. Wen also named them Xiaowu and Xiaoliu respectively.

After dinner every day, when Mr. Wen went for a walk, he would always walk to the chicken farm to see them.

But this evening, when he walked to the chicken farm, he found that Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu were gone!

Mr. Wen was very anxious: “Xiao Zong, what about Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu? Why didn’t I see them?”

Uncle Zong searched all around, but he didn’t see the shadows of Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, not even eggs. !

Uncle Zong was also anxious: “Commander, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu are not in the chicken coop, and a few other houses have looked at them, but they are not there!”

“Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and ask Xiao Wang!”

“Yes, Commander!”

Uncle Zong ran to the dormitory to look for the orderly Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang is the person in charge of the chicken raising department. He is usually in charge of cleaning and registration.

When Uncle Zong went to the dormitory, Xiao Wang was eating.

Hearing Uncle Zong’s question, he widened his eyes and said, “Uncle Zong, don’t you know? But Rugui said that the commander wanted to kill the chicken to make soup, so I killed the chicken for him, didn’t he take the chicken back? ?”

Uncle Zong was shocked: “How many chickens did he kill? Why did he kill chickens?”

Seeing Uncle Zong’s appearance, Xiao Wang immediately felt something was wrong: “He asked me to kill Xiao Wu, and Xiao Liu was taken away by him. Now, I don’t know where to take it.”

Uncle Zong paled.

Uncle Zong’s hands trembled.

Uncle Zong was speechless.

Xiao Wu is dead, Xiao Liu is missing!

After leaving the dormitory, Uncle Zong ran all the way: “Commander, something has happened!!!”
