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

107 cups of green tea

Wen Rugui let go of her waist as if being electrocuted: "Yes, I'm sorry."

Tong Xuelu glanced down and whistled inwardly.

Well, bulging.

Very capital.

Wen Rugui met her misty apricot eyes, and her whole body seemed to be electrified by electric current.

There was a sudden burst of numbness.

He turned his body slightly to cover it up, but when he looked at it from the side, it looked even more...

Tong Xuelu was old-fashioned in her heart, and she looked shy on the surface: "Would it be uncomfortable for you to look like this?"

Wen Rugui blushed and shook her head: "No."

He lied. In fact, he was so uncomfortable that he was about to explode, but he didn't dare to say such rogue words in front of her, for fear of scaring her.

Tong Xuelu gave a "tsk" in her heart, covered her face and said, "It's fine if you don't feel uncomfortable, then I'll go out first."

"Um."

Seeing her turn around and run out of the room, Wen Rugui let out a big breath.

If he doesn't go out, he will be embarrassed.

He hurriedly opened the window, and the autumn wind blew in, gradually cooling down the mania in his body.

Ten minutes later, he walked out of the room and almost bumped into the old man.

Mr. Wen glanced at his red and swollen lips, coughed and said: "I can't bear it any longer and I have to wait for the guests to leave. What do you look like now?"

Wen Rugui: "..."

Seeing that he was silent, old man Wen continued to criticize: "You are such a rascal, and it is because Xuelu is too simple that he can bear you. If it were someone else, he would have broken up with you long ago!"

Wen Rogue Rugui: "..."

Old man Wen taught him a lesson, and then he left satisfied.

If he knew that the real hooligan was Tong Xuelu, what expression would he have?

The barbecue in the yard has already started. With the experience from last time, everyone will do it automatically this time without Tong Xuelu.

The children were eating sweet-scented osmanthus cakes while waiting for the barbecue, while the adults were discussing the college entrance examination while grilling the meat.

Among them, Wei Ran and Fang Jingyuan were both confused.

Wei Ran studied at Peking University Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University for a year and a half, but now the college entrance examination is suddenly resumed, and workers, peasants and soldiers have stopped enrolling students since this year.

His grandfather asked him to drop out of school and take the college entrance examination again, but none of his classmates and brothers and sisters from other circles dropped out, so he hesitated.

Wei Guozhi said: "What is there to hesitate? You have been a worker, peasant and soldier for more than a year, and you have learned nothing. Now that the country has stopped recruiting students, the status of workers, peasants and soldiers will only become more and more embarrassing day by day."

Wei Ran still couldn't make up his mind: "But I'm too late to review now."

Wei Guozhi: "I remember last year for your birthday, didn't Xuelu give you a booklet on mathematics, physics and chemistry? Didn't you read it?"

Wei Ran blushed and shook his head: "I don't have time to watch."

Although they didn't learn anything at school, they didn't have nothing to do. In addition to political education every day, they also had to go to factories for internships, and sometimes they had to go to the countryside to learn how to cultivate the land.

Wei Guozhi looked at him with hatred: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, go back to school and tell the teacher. After dropping out, come back and study hard."

Wei Ran scratched his head: "What if I fail the exam?"

He has basically forgotten the knowledge of junior and senior high schools, and the college entrance examination is only two months away, so he is afraid that he will not pass the exam.

Wei Guozhi: "If you don't pass the exam, you will continue to take the exam next year. Anyway, you are not very old, and your grandma and I will not force you to marry a wife so quickly."

Hearing about marrying a daughter-in-law, Wei Ran blushed even more.

Wei Zhuzhu ran over and was taken aback when she saw her brother's face: "Brother, your face is as red as a braised pig's head, you look so scary."

"..."

Wei Ran glared at her with a fierce expression, Wei Zhuzhu screamed in fright and ran away again.

Tong Xuelu sat down and picked up the barbecue and roasted together: "I think Grandpa Wei is right, if you fail the exam this time, then continue to prepare."

Jiang is still old and hot. Students who graduated from workers, peasants and soldiers were restricted everywhere in their jobs, and their status was very embarrassing. But because they had already graduated, they could not take the college entrance examination again.

If Wei Ran wants to take the college entrance examination, it is best to drop out of school now. In a year or two, it will be impossible for him to start again.

Seeing what everyone said, Wei Ran thought for a while and made up his mind: "Okay, then I'll go to school to go through the withdrawal procedures."

As soon as Wei Ran finished speaking, Fang Jingyuan frowned and said, "Xuelu, do you think I should take the college entrance examination?"

She is currently working in an art troupe, usually performing singing or dancing.

This is a youth job. If you can't move up in the future, you will be assigned to some useless positions when you get older.

But if she is asked to take the college entrance examination, she has no confidence. After all, she has graduated for several years and her grades are not good.

Tong Xuelu said, "Do you have a major you want to apply for?"

A shy look flashed across Fang Jingyuan's face: "I think making movies is very interesting since I was a child."

Xiao Chengping suddenly interjected, "Do you want to become an actor?"

Students in the drama school are generally good-looking, and he suspects that she is actually looking to see good-looking gay men.

"You want to take care of it?" Fang Jingyuan glared at him, and said to Tong Xuelu, "I want to be a director."

Oh, I didn't expect the big-headed girl to have such a dream.

Tong Xuelu smiled and said: "If you are afraid that you won't pass the exam, then don't quit your job in the art troupe, anyway, you won't lose money if you try."

She doesn't dismiss her job in the art troupe, she can advance and attack and then retreat, so that her pressure will not be so great.

Fang Jingyuan thought for a while and nodded: "You're right. If you fail the exam, at most it's a bit embarrassing, but I have nothing to lose."

When Wei Ran on the side heard this, he suddenly felt more pressure on his shoulders.

He is someone who has no way out once he drops out of school, which is the complete opposite of Fang Jingyuan.

Those who came to Tong Xuelu's birthday party today, apart from Tong Xuelu, Wei Ran and Fang Jingyuan who decided to take the college entrance examination, and Jiang Danhong.

Jiang Danhong is the oldest of them, but everyone supports her decision.

In fact, Jiang Danhong's situation is not surprising in this era. There is no age limit or marital status limit for the college entrance examination, so many old educated youths have signed up for the college entrance examination.

Wen Rugui came over and sat down beside Tong Xuelu, and logically took the barbecue in her hand to roast: "Go and rest aside, I'll roast."

Tong Xuelu and him looked at each other and smiled, stood up and went to the room to take out two booklets on mathematics, physics and chemistry and gave them to Fang Jingyuan and Jiang Danhong respectively.

Jiang Danhong touched the booklet with a look of cherishment and emotion: "Thank you Xuelu, this gift is too precious!"

Fang Jingyuan was even more excited and jumped up and hugged her: "I was worried about whether I could buy the review materials just now, that's all right now, thank you."

Since the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination spread, it was hard to find a copy of the examination materials, and those who had middle and high school textbooks at home became popular.

Xiao Chengping glanced at the elated Fang Jingyuan, and his heart became more and more irritable.

Just now when he heard that Fang Jingyuan was going to take the college entrance examination, he actually asked his uncle to help him get a set of review materials.

He is really sick, what does it have to do with him whether his brain can be admitted to university?

The night wind blew in, and the yard was filled with the smell of barbecue.

Everyone talked about the future while eating barbecue, which was cozy and beautiful.

The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival when people with a full moon reunite. Tong Xuelu made mooncakes for everyone just like last year.

Then he took the three brothers and sisters Xiao Jiaming to Wen's house to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Tong Xuelu and Uncle Zong were busy in the kitchen, cooking a table of delicious dishes for everyone.

Because Wen Rugui likes to eat fish, she specially cooked a steamed fish for him today.

She poured the prepared soy sauce over the fish, sprinkled scallions and ginger, and poured hot oil over the steamed fish.

Just listening to the sound of "Zi", a seductive fragrance floated up and filled the whole kitchen.

After the oil is poured down, the fish exudes a layer of light and looks extremely tender.

The scent wafted out of the window, and several other families in the yard smelled it, Qi Qi swallowed subconsciously, and stared straight at Wen's house.

Someone couldn't help asking: "Commander Wen, what are you doing at home? Why does it smell so good?"

"Yeah, my saliva almost came out. Uncle Zong's cooking doesn't seem so delicious?"

Mr. Wen looked proud: "Xiaozong's cooking can only be considered so-so. Today's sweetheart came over to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with her. She was cooking."

"Oh, is the person who feels like home the manager of the former Dongfeng Hotel?"

Mr. Wen became more and more proud, and said with a straight chest: "Yes, she has also obtained the certificate of a first-class chef. I didn't praise her. That child is so smart and capable. Ordinary people can't compare with her at all."

Everyone: "..."

If this is not boasting, then what is boasting?

"By the way, why didn't she quit? Since she left, the food at Dongfeng Restaurant doesn't seem to be so delicious."

"I also feel that I used to go there at least once or twice a month, but now I eat those dishes, which is boring."

Old Man Wen: "She's going to take the college entrance examination. I didn't brag about it. With her intelligence, she will definitely be able to get into Tsinghua University and Beijing University in the future!"

Everyone: "..."

Why didn't I find that Mr. Wen was so immodest before?

Is Qing University and Beijing University so easy to get into?

Tong Xuelu may cook delicious food, but I heard that she just graduated from junior high school and wants to be admitted to Beijing University, which is a bit bragging.

But in front of Mr. Wen, everyone was too embarrassed to say it directly, so they laughed and went back.

Mr. Wen didn't care what they thought, turned around and went back to eat.

In addition to steamed fish, Tong Xuelu also made steamed pork ribs with taro, fried buns with vegetarian stuffing, and chicken soup with corn and radish.

The steamed fish meat is tender and delicious. It is a delicacy on the tip of the tongue. The pork ribs are mixed with the taste of taro, which is delicious and chewy.

Take a bite of the fried bun with vegetarian stuffing, all kinds of fillings fill the whole mouth immediately, the soup spreads out, it is fragrant and crisp, it is not inferior to the delicacies of mountains and seas at all.

Everyone was so satisfied with this meal, and everyone's stomachs were full.

After Mr. Wen finished his meal, he took some snacks to show off to Lao Jiang next door, and tears flowed from the corners of his mouth with envy.

At this time, the atmosphere in Tong's family in the compound of the general rear was somewhat heavy.

Last year, Tong Xuelu didn't come to give gifts because of the rain, but she still had mooncakes delivered the next day.

It didn't rain during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, so they thought she would come over, but they didn't want to wait for a day, and they didn't even see anyone.

Cai Chunlan curled her lips and said, "It seems that someone has made up his mind not to associate with our Tong family."

Brother Tong glanced at her and shouted in a low voice: "Say a few words and no one will think you are dumb!"

Cai Chunlan was very upset, but when she looked up and saw her mother-in-law's face was as smelly as a stinky ditch, she suddenly felt a little inexplicably happy.

At this time, Mother Tong seemed to have a big stone stuck in her chest, which made it very difficult for her to breathe.

She thought that if Tong Xuelu came over this mid-autumn festival, she would go downhill and forgive her, and then reconnect the relationship between the two families.

Tong Xuelu's grandfather is the commander, and I heard that he will be transferred back to Beijing next month. If he can help her at that time, her two sons should be able to move up a promotion.

Unexpectedly, she didn't show up, and she didn't even show up for the holiday gifts.

It really is a white-eyed wolf!

Cai Chunlan was a person who couldn't keep her mouth shut, so she got quiet for a minute and then got up again: "By the way, I heard that Tong Xuelu quit her position as a hotel manager and is going to take the college entrance examination."

"I remember that when she was studying, she failed her grades every time. She almost failed to graduate back then. She dared to take the college entrance examination with her grades. It's ridiculous!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the news.

Chen Yueling: "She really resigned from the position of hotel manager?"

Cai Chunlan nodded with a smile, and said mockingly: "No, there are many people who take the college entrance examination, but there are not many people who are as stupid as her and resign. If you fail the exam later, it will be really embarrassing!"

Brother Tong frowned and said, "She's so impulsive."

Others thought the same way, and they all felt that Tong Xuelu would definitely not be able to pass the university entrance exam.

Turning around not only loses face, but also loses his job. This is more than impulsive, it is completely stupid!

When Tong's mother heard the news, the big stone stuck in her chest went down immediately, and she immediately ate two more bowls of rice.

**

The first college entrance examination resumed, because there were few restrictions, and although the registration fee was a bit expensive at 50 cents, as long as they had graduated from junior high school or above, they basically took the college entrance examination.

Tong Xuelu originally wanted to apply for the major of economics and management. After thinking about it, she applied for the major of English.

Of course, after graduation, she didn't want to work in an English-related industry, and she will continue to do food-related work.

In addition to running factories and restaurants by herself, she plans to spread Chinese cuisine to the world.

China's food culture has condensed five thousand years of civilization and wisdom, and the food of "color, aroma, taste, and utensils" is enough to conquer everyone.

To spread food, it is very necessary to master an English.

Although she had learned English before transmigrating, she was not a professional, so she planned to learn English again.

On this day, she and Fang Jingyuan went to the Education Bureau to get the admission ticket.

I saw her admission ticket read:

1977 Unified Enrollment Admission Ticket for Colleges and Universities

Test area: Beijing

Category: Reason

Name: Tong Xuelu

(Additional subject: English)

Number: 254250

Beijing Higher Education Admissions Committee Office Print

When Tong Xuelu saw her number, the corner of her mouth twitched violently.

Do you want to lose it so much, 54250, I am two hundred and five.

Depend on!

Fang Jingyuan leaned over to look at her admission ticket, with a look of envy on her face: "Why are the photos you took so beautiful?"

Tong Xuelu said without shame: "There is no way, she is born beautiful."

Fang Jingyuan: "..."

When she passed Xinhua Bookstore on the way back, she saw a long queue outside.

The library was also full of people. At a glance, there were heads. Even the window sills were full of people. Some people who came late did not occupy a seat and could only sit on the floor.

In the past ten years, cultural people have been hit hard. At that time, they even promoted the theory that "study is useless", but now that ridiculous era has passed.

The resumption of the college entrance examination this time has injected the most powerful booster into the cultural people across the country. They are ecstatic and their eyes are full of curiosity.

Every time she saw this scene, Tong Xuelu's heart surged.

After separating from Fang Jingyuan, she didn't go home directly, but went to the printing factory.

The guard at the printing factory saw her and said with a smile, "Comrade Tong, are you here?"

Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "I have an appointment with the factory manager, is he in there?"

The doorman laughed until the creases of his two corners came out: "Yes, you can go in quickly."

It wasn't the first time Tong Xuelu came here, she didn't need someone to take her, she went directly to the factory director's office.

When Factory Manager Zhou saw her coming, he stood up and said with a smile, "Comrade Tong, you are finally here, please sit down."

Tong Xuelu sat down on the sofa.

Director Zhou asked someone to pour a cup of tea, and took out the candy and melon seeds that he had prepared earlier in the morning: "Comrade Tong, please use it."

Tong Xuelu smiled and expressed her gratitude.

Director Zhou didn't beat around the bush, and took out two envelopes directly from the drawer: "This is the money for the physical and chemical booklet last time, and the other is a gift from the printing house to Comrade Tong."

The country suddenly announced the resumption of the college entrance examination, and many people couldn't find books, couldn't find review materials, and couldn't buy them even if they had money.

Their printing factory was also in a hurry, and the upper management issued an indicator to tell them to print materials quickly.

What materials were printed but did not say, everything was too sudden, and no one had an answer.

At this time, the Wen family contacted them, saying that they had about 950 booklets in their hands, and that the booklets in their hands could be used as review materials.

After getting the brochure, they hurried to the Education Bureau to confirm that this material could indeed be used as a review material, and they were immediately ecstatic.

Because they obtained review materials earlier than other printing houses, the booklets they printed were quickly sent to bookstores and reading libraries across the country.

Now their printing factory has become famous all over the country and has become a wind vane in the printing industry.

All this is thanks to the Wen family.

Director Zhou and Wen's family are close relatives, but because they are not very close, they don't usually move around.

This time they got so many brochures through Wen's family, their factory naturally wants to express their gratitude.

Director Zhou didn't know that these brochures belonged to Tong Xuelu, he just thought that Wen's family sent her to deal with this matter, so he didn't mention Wen's family at this moment.

These things are done in private and cannot be made public.

Tong Xuelu didn't have any money, so she picked up the envelope and put it in the army satchel: "Thank you, Director Zhou, I know that Director Zhou is a cautious person, but I still want to remind you that when I leave this door, we will not acknoledged."

Director Zhou nodded again and again: "Understood, Comrade Tong came here twice to inquire about printing matters."

Tong Xuelu nodded in satisfaction, turned and walked out of Director Zhou's office.

She got a thousand books of mathematics, physics and chemistry from Xiao's mother. At first, she wanted to sell them by herself, but her current status is different from before.

Now she is the granddaughter of the commander, and her fiancé's family background is different. If she sells it privately, the risk is too great.

So she told Wen Rugui about the brochure, and Wen Rugui contacted Director Zhou after finding contacts.

She sold the brochures to Director Zhou at a low price in private, and disposed of the brochures like this.

With the backing of the Wen family, she believed that Director Zhou would not be so stupid to expose this matter.

What's more, after the stabbing, he himself will definitely be punished.

After returning home, Tong Xuelu took out the two envelopes and opened them.

A total of 580 yuan was obtained for selling the brochure, and 200 yuan was paid for the thank you.

It adds up to almost 800 yuan, which is her private money.

Earn it.

From that day on, Tong Xuelu stopped going out and concentrated on studying for the college entrance examination at home.

Sometimes Wei Ran, Fang Jingyuan, Jiang Danhong and others would come over to discuss topics with her.

Fast forward to November.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the preliminaries are coming up on the 27th.

The pre-examination only took Chinese and mathematics, and Tong Xuelu passed it easily.

Only a few people passed the preliminaries, and most of them passed.

On December 9th, it was snowing heavily and the weather was so cold that people's teeth were shaking.

Tong Xuelu sat on the back of Wen Rugui's bicycle and came to the examination room to take the college entrance examination.

At this time, many people came outside the examination room. The candidates' eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, but their bodies were shaking like a sieve.

Seeing that her face was turning red from the cold, Wen Rugui said softly, "Stand over here, and I'll protect you from the wind."

Tong Xuelu raised her head and smiled at him: "I'm dressed so thickly, and there's a hot water bottle inside, so it's not cold at all."

For this college entrance examination, the whole family was dispatched.

Because the exam was in December, Wen Rugui bought her a hot water bottle through various connections and relationships, and went to a department store to buy her gloves.

At this time, she was wearing a military overcoat, a military cap on her head, woolen gloves on her hands, a scarf around her neck, and a hot water bottle in her arms.

She's really not cold at all.

To put it in a hateful word, she still feels a little hot right now.

Seeing that she is so well-equipped, everyone cast envious and jealous eyes on her.

Then look at Wen Rugui standing next to her, gentle, young and handsome, with a bicycle, all the girls eat a mouthful of sour lemons.

The guard came out and picked up the gong and knocked it a few times: "Enter the examination room, candidates have entered the examination room."

Tong Xuelu stuffed the hot water bottle into Wen Rugui's arms, raised her head and said with a smile, "I'm going in."

Wen Rugui handed her the cardboard in his hand: "Okay, I'll wait outside for you to come out."

When everyone saw the cardboard in Tong Xuelu's hand, they didn't know what it was for at first, but after entering the examination room, they couldn't help being envious again.

Some desks are full of bumps and holes. If there is no padding on them, it is easy to puncture the test paper if you do not pay attention to writing.

Because Tong Xuelu was prepared, she didn't have to worry at all during the exam.

This college entrance examination lasted for three days.

Because Tong Xuelu applied for the English major, she took one more English exam than other candidates.

After the exam, there were screams in the exam room, and many people said that they would definitely fail the exam.

There are additional questions in Chinese and mathematics, but few people can do it.

Tong Xuelu did it all.

Those exam questions are difficult for candidates of this era, but they are very simple for Tong Xuelu who came through the book.

For example, the extra question in mathematics is actually a very simple calculus, but many people said that they could not understand it.

After the exam, the teachers immediately put themselves into intense marking.

On January 25th, the results finally came out in everyone's anticipation.

With a total score of 500, Tong Xuelu scored 494 in the test and 100 in English.

The results ranked first among the candidates in Beijing.

The Tong family in the compound of the General Logistics Department was stunned when they heard the news.
