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

86 cups of green tea

After Tong Xuelu's salary rose, the material level of the family also rose gradually.

Usually eat meat sparingly, and sometimes only eat once every two or three days, but now there is no need to save at all, the faces of the Tong family's little ones are round.

Tong Mianmian was raised to a rosy complexion, her little face was flushed, and she looked very pleasing.

In fact, they didn't need her salary, because their grandfather, Commander Xiao, left several hundred yuan for their living expenses before he left Beijing.

After returning to the Northwest, he still sent some things from time to time, such as malted milk and toffee, as well as various bills and money.

In short, the others are temporarily unable to come back, but the mind and things have not been absent.

On this day, the postman delivered a letter to Tong's family. The letter was sent from the Northwest Army.

Tong Jiaming's brothers and sisters received the unopened letter, and they didn't read it together until Tong Xuelu got off work.

The letter was sent by their grandfather, Commander Xiao. In addition to the words of concern, this time it also talked about the Tong family's hometown.

The letter stated that after investigation, their grandmother Tong Manzhi was forced into marriage, and the premature birth and hemorrhage was not an accident, but Tong Manzhi was pushed by Xie Jinhua and hit her stomach against the corner of the table, so she and Xie Jinhua gave birth on the same day.

If it wasn't for the premature birth and the constant depression, Tong Manzhi wouldn't have died at all. This would have been murder!

If Xie Jinhua didn't do this, even if they lied last time, Commander Xiao didn't want to settle the score with Xie Jinhua because the Tong family saved his life back then.

But now that he knew the result, he couldn't just sit idly by. He asked his nephew to collect all kinds of information about Xie Jinhua's crimes, and then sent her to the cell in one fell swoop, waiting for Xie Jinhua to be punished by law.

As for Xie Jinhua's two sons, although they participated in lying, they did not participate in what happened back then.

Since they are Tong Manzhi's nephews, and their father Tong Genlai also saved Commander Xiao, Commander Xiao let them go.

Because Xie Jinhua was about to be shot, both Tong Erzhu and Tong Sanzhuang were frightened. They should behave with their tails between their legs in the future.

Commander Xiao also removed Tong Dajun's family from the Tong family's genealogy. From then on, they have nothing to do with the people from Tong's hometown.

When Tong Xuelu saw this letter, she felt that a big stone in her heart could finally be let go.

In the book, the tragedy of Tong Jiaming's three brothers and sisters comes from the people of Tong's hometown, especially Xie Jinhua, who is simply an old witch.

Because she, Tong Mianmian, was molested since she was a child, and she lived in the shadows all her life, and she chose to commit suicide in the end. The two brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin were not much better.

Now the old witch is going to die, and the brothers and sisters will not repeat the tragedy in the book in the future.

Tong Xuelu chose a part of the letter to read, and she didn't say anything about setting up a trap to frame Xie Jinhua, she only said that Xie Jinhua would be shot for committing a crime.

When the two brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin heard the news, they were shocked on the spot.

Sister, grandma... I mean, will my uncle and grandma affect us? Tong Jiaming frowned.

Tong Xuelu shook her head: You don't have to worry about this, Grandpa has already done it. From now on, we will be members of the Xiao family, not the Tong family.

Tong Jiaxin: Didn't you say that my sister and I don't need to change our surnames?

Tong Xuelu: You don't have to use the same surname in one account. Our future account will be in the Xiao family, and it has little to do with whether we change our surname or not.

From now on, their household registrations will all be in the Xiao family's side, but she and Tong Jiaxin will not change their surnames, and will be named after their grandmother Tong Manzhi.

I don't know if it's possible to do this in this day and age, but with their grandfather's identity and connections, it's definitely not a problem to manipulate such a small matter.

So they don't have to worry about this kind of thing.

The two brothers breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that their family members would not be implicated.

Tong Mianmian opened her eyes and looked at this and that, with a dazed expression on her face.

Moon Cake tilted her head, her big watery eyes had the same confusion, she looked very cute.

**

Woke up this morning, Tong Xuelu found that it was snowing outside.

The snowflakes are fluttering, the eaves, roofs and trees are covered with a layer of snow, the branches are frozen into crystal clear snow strips, and the whole world seems to have put on new clothes at once.

Tong Xuelu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling very reluctant to go to work.

In such cold weather, you should stay in bed and do nothing.

It's a pity that no matter how cold it is, she has to get up to work, so she quickly put on her clothes and got up to cook.

As soon as she opened the door, a gust of cold wind came out, she sneezed, startled Xiao Liu who was looking for food on the snow, leaving a string of bamboo leaf marks on the snow.

Tong Xuelu put the dumplings made last night into the pot to cook, and the two brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin got up before they were cooked.

During the meal, Tong Xuelu asked them: I remember you guys are taking the final exam today, right?

Tong Jiaxin shrank his neck when he heard this, and buried his head even lower.

Tong Jiaming nodded: Well, the final exam is today.

Tong Xuelu took a look at Tong Jiaxin: Take a good exam. Although we are not a family with Tong's hometown anymore, the bet at the beginning is still valid. Although I can't send you back to Tong's hometown, I can send you to go with Tong's hometown. Grandpa is with you!

Tong Jiaxin was lucky: ...

He had been studying hard before, but after knowing that he and Tong's hometown were no longer a family last week, he couldn't help but relax.

He thought the bet would not count, but he didn't expect the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole after him.

Woohoo, my sister is so scary!

After breakfast, those who went to work went to work, and those who went to school went to school. Tong Mianmian was still sent to Wei's house.

Before the Wei family saw how pitiful the brothers and sisters of the Tong family were, they were willing to take care of them, but after knowing that they were the grandchildren of Commander Xiao, they were even more willing, and loved them as their own grandchildren in their hearts.

When Tong Xuelu took Xiaotian to buy, he found that there was mutton for sale today.

So she bought some mutton and haggis and went back, planning to make a pot of haggis soup.

In cold weather like this, a bowl of spicy haggis soup is called refreshing.

She boiled mutton and mutton haggis into mutton soup, and made some flatbreads.

When someone wants to eat mutton steamed buns, they can eat meaty steamed buns. If the pockets are not very rich, they can also directly have a bowl of mutton soup.

Mutton Steamed Buns Cut the mutton into slices, add vermicelli and garlic and coriander, and finally pour mutton soup and serve.

The mutton steamed bun soup is rich, the mutton is fat but not greasy, and the aroma is attractive, and a large pancake, one bite of soup and one bite of cake, is so refreshing.

Before noon, Dongfeng Restaurant set up a big pot and placed it at the door. Haggis soup was boiled in the pot. When the wind blows, the aroma can waft far away.

Many people didn't plan to come to the restaurant to eat. After all, they are not rich these days, so they can save as much as they can, but the scent is too seductive and overbearing. It's okay if they didn't smell it.

Especially if you pass by the restaurant with children, the children will not want to leave when they smell the aroma, and they must drink haggis soup.

Soon there was a long queue at the entrance of the hotel.

A bowl of haggis soup costs 2 taels of food stamps plus 15 cents, and a pancake costs 10 cents. If you want to add other things, you will be charged another money and stamps.

Some people eat in restaurants, and some people bring rice bowls directly from home to pack.

On the first day of snowfall, many people drank steaming haggis soup.

The chili is numbing and spicy, the scallions are green, the mutton soup is rich and mellow, and the spicy and salty flavors are just rightly blended together. It is so fragrant that people almost swallow their tongues.

What's even more refreshing is that after eating, my whole body is warm, as if it is not cold at all.

Tong Xuelu's promotion to a first-class hotel manager, and the fact that she is the granddaughter of Commander Xiao, the Tong family in the General Logistics Compound only later learned from other people.

After knowing this, the entire Tong family fell silent.

It's nothing to be promoted to a first-class hotel manager, at most they don't go to the restaurant to eat, but Commander Xiao's granddaughter!

This thing is too shocking!

They just wanted to break their heads, but they never thought that people like the Tong family would have anything to do with Commander Xiao!

Although their Tong family all work in the unit, outsiders look very prosperous, but in fact they are strong inside and out.

Tong's father will retire next year, and the two brothers of the Tong family are of mediocre ability, and it is difficult to rise to the sky.

If they had known that Tong Xuelu was Commander Xiao's granddaughter, they would not have broken this relationship no matter what.

There were so many things going on in Tong's family back then, even the Fang's family reached out to help, and the whole family just ignored them, but now they want to join in, and they feel ashamed when they think about it.

Sister-in-law Chen Yueling felt even more uncomfortable. At first she and her husband wanted to help Tong Xuelu, but her mother-in-law wouldn't let them help, and she wouldn't even let them go to visit.

If her mother-in-law hadn't stopped her at the beginning, she wouldn't be so shameless now if she wanted to join in.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blame her mother-in-law.

Under her husband's persuasion, Tong's mother had given up resenting Tong Xuelu, and just pretended that she had never raised such an adopted daughter.

In her opinion, Tong Xuelu's brothers and sisters have no father or mother, and there are a lot of burdens from the Tong family's hometown. Even if she is capable, she will be like that in this life.

She never expected that things would develop like this. Tong Xuelu was actually the granddaughter of Commander Xiao, and her target was Commander Wen's grandson!

Thinking of this, her facial expression couldn't help but twisted, and she began to regret it in her heart.

If she hadn't said those things in the hospital that day, then she and Tong Xuelu wouldn't have broken their faces, and now she just wanted to get together and didn't go down the stairs.

When Tong's father saw his wife's appearance, he also guessed what she was thinking.

He sighed inwardly and said nothing.

He also felt regret and pity in his heart, but they pretended not to know when something happened to him, and now they found out that he was the commander's granddaughter, so they went up to him, the food was too ugly.

In the family, Cai Chunlan is the one who fears, regrets and worries the most.

The last time Cai Chunlan went to a restaurant to quarrel with Tong Xuelu, she spoke ill of her in front of so many people, but when she came back, she was very angry and publicized her as a white-eyed wolf everywhere.

Now knowing that she is Commander Xiao's granddaughter, the more she thinks about it, the more uncomfortable she becomes.

Because she was worried that Tong Xuelu would deal with her, Cai Chunlan ran to Dongfeng Hotel after get off work.

Dongfeng Hotel has two floors, Tong Xuelu is the manager, and there is a small lounge on the second floor.

When it is not meal time or when there are not many guests, she will go to the lounge to rest.

When Cai Chunlan came over, Tong Xuelu was reading in the lounge.

Meng Qingqing ran upstairs: Manager Tong, the woman who claimed to be your second sister-in-law came here again last time, and she said she wanted to see you!

Second sister-in-law?

When Tong Xuelu thought of Cai Chunlan's big face, she felt disgusted: No see!

Meng Qingqing ran down to notify Cai Chunlan, and then ran up again: Manager Tong, that woman won't leave if you don't go down!

The corner of Tong Xuelu's lips twitched lightly: If she wants to eat, let her eat; if she doesn't eat, invite her out. How long she wants to stand outside is her business.

Meng Qingqing ran down again when she heard the words.

When Cai Chunlan heard this, her face turned red with anger.

It's so cold outside now, of course she doesn't want to go out and stand outside, but since she can't see Tong Xuelu, she is also unwilling to just leave like this.

In desperation, she had no choice but to go out with money and tickets to buy something to eat.

But she drank bowl after bowl of haggis soup, her stomach was full, but Tong Xuelu still didn't come down.

She didn't have enough money on her body and was invited out shortly after.

Cai Chunlan's face turned into a pig's liver with anger, she stood outside but refused to leave, and deliberately put on a pitiful look.

If someone asked her, she would say that she offended Tong Xuelu before, and now she wants to come over and apologize to her, and she doesn't want Tong Xuelu to even see her.

After Meng Qingqing heard it, she ran upstairs again to report.

Tong Xuelu smiled and said: Let her go, didn't she say that I am a white-eyed wolf? Since I am a white-eyed wolf, isn't it natural to ignore her?

...

Meng Qingqing thought about it for a while, and felt that what she said made sense.

So she left it alone.

Cai Chunlan stood outside for an hour, but she didn't wait for Tong Xuelu to come down.

Her whole body was so cold that her lips turned purple, and her whole body was almost stiff.

In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore and ran back, and developed a high fever that night.

**

Tong Xuelu didn't know that Cai Chunlan had done it to herself, and when she got home, she saw Tong Jiaxin's cheeks flushed with excitement.

She glanced at the brothers and sisters and asked, What happened, why are you so happy?

Tong Jiaxin quickly took out the test papers: Sister, I got 61 points in the math test and 60 points in the Chinese test. I passed!

Tong Xuelu took it over and took a look. Although it barely passed the passing line, it was indeed a pass.

Tong Xuelu returned the test paper and said, Very good, you don't have to be sent away, you can eat meat this winter vacation and Chinese New Year.

Hearing this, Tong Jia felt in her heart that it was too difficult for her.

It's not easy for him to eat meat!

Tong Xuelu said: I will continue to work hard in the future. If I fail, the bet is still valid.

Tong Jiaxin: ...

It was only then that he remembered that the time was not written in the bet, that is to say, it can be valid any time the sister wants.

He was cheated!

Tong Jiaming still passed the double hundred this time, and Tong Xuelu rewarded him with two dollars.

Tong Mianmian's cutie saw that her two elder brothers were praised, so she quickly showed her sister the painting she drew during the day: Sister, Mianmian drew it!

Tong Xuelu brought the painting over, only to see that there were several vaguely identifiable figures painted on it, counting a total of three people.

Tong Xuelu rubbed her head and asked her, What is Mianmian painting?

Tong Mianmian said in a milky voice, Sister, Second Brother and Mianmian, and Third Brother, Moon Cake and Xiao Liu.

Tong Jiaxin came over to take a look, but couldn't find himself after searching for a long time: Mianmian, didn't you say you painted me? Where am I?

Tong Mianmian pointed at a lump with her chubby finger and said, This is third brother.

The corner of Tong Jiaxin's mouth twitched: Why am I different from you guys, and what are those two next to me?

Tong Mianmian: Mooncake and Xiaoliu.

Tong Jiaxin yelled: Why do I look exactly like Mooncake and Xiaoliu? What are you thinking? I am a human being, not a dog or a chicken!

Tong Mianmian poked her finger: But the third brother is ugly!

The implication is that you are ugly and you are not worthy of being a human being.

Tong Jiaxin was stabbed: ...

Tong Xuelu couldn't help laughing out puchi, Xiaotuanzi's heart-piercing kung fu became more and more powerful.

Tong Jiaming on the side also raised the corners of his lips.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Wen family was frozen and very heavy.

Mr. Wen threw a bunch of things on the ground fiercely, and threw the crutch in his hand at things: What is that woman thinking? Does she think I really dare not do anything to her?

Uncle Zong hurriedly comforted him: Commander, calm down, don't ruin your body because of that kind of anger.

Today the postman delivered an item from Tsu City.

The Wen family doesn't have any relatives in Jin City, only that woman is there.

It's fine to send some things over as usual, but this time I wrote a letter with a photo in it, saying it was Wen Rugui's younger sister.

The woman said shamelessly that she wanted to meet Wen Rugui and asked the two siblings to meet.

Don't say that the commander will be angry, even if he sees the letter, he will be very angry!

She treated the Wen family that way back then, what face does she have to see her now?

Old Man Wen said with a gloomy face: Xiao Zong, you can call tomorrow and let her settle down, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!

All these years, he would put up with that woman because she was his biological mother.

When she did something like that back then, their Wen family had let her live. If she insisted on dying, then don't blame him for being merciless!

Uncle Zong poured a glass of warm water over and said, Okay, I'll go tomorrow, Commander, please drink some water quickly, I'll take these things out and burn them.

Mr. Wen nodded, his brows furrowed into knots.

They are all evil!

**

The Spring Festival is approaching day by day. Although there is no holiday yet, the atmosphere of the New Year can be felt on the streets.

Although the weather is very cold, the children are not afraid of the cold. After the holiday, they run around on the street, frolicking to their heart's content.

Department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives had a lot of new year's goods, but everyone snatched them up as soon as they were released.

Tong Xuelu had no way to grab it when she had to go to work, and originally wanted to hand over the task of buying new year's goods to two brothers, Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin.

But their grandfather, Commander Xiao, called and told them not to prepare, he had already made the orderly ready, and said that he would return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year with them.

As soon as Tong Xuelu went to the hotel, she received a call from the business department, telling her to go to the business department and they went to the airport to pick up people together.

It should be the UN interpreter who can get Minister Lin to pick him up in person.

Tong Xuelu was a little speechless, if she had known that they were coming today, she would not have worn this thick padded jacket.

But it's too late to go back and change clothes now, and she's not an important person, so it doesn't matter what she wears.

Tong Xuelu rushed to the commercial department, and then took the commercial department's car to the airport.

When I arrived at the airport, I was told that the other party still had more than an hour to arrive at the airport.

Tong Xuelu couldn't help but swear in her heart.

When everyone was waiting with hands and feet almost frozen, the translator finally arrived late.

Two men wearing long black coats stepped out of the plane. The cold wind blew and the long coats fluttered in the wind.

Tong Xuelu looked over and met a pair of narrow, young black eyes.
