Since the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came out, everyone has been discussing this matter.

At this time, everyone's topic in the conference room of the Ministry of Commerce still revolved around the topic of the college entrance examination.

"I didn't expect to see the country resume the college entrance examination in the rest of my life!"

"It's not that I didn't react to this news for ten minutes."

"By the way, how many people in your family are going to take the college entrance examination?"

"It's a lot. As long as you meet the conditions, you have to participate. I counted seven or eight people who have signed up."

At this moment, Tong Xuelu walked in.

Someone asked her: "Manager Tong, you shouldn't take the college entrance examination, right?"

"It's still a question. If Manager Tong wanted to participate, he wouldn't refuse to go to the Workers' Peasants and Soldiers University."

The eyes of everyone in the conference hall fell on Tong Xuelu.

Tong Xuelu glanced at everyone, and smiled lightly: "No, I'm going to participate."

Everyone: "?!!!"

"But didn’t Manager Tong say to take care of the younger siblings at home? Don’t you need to take care of them now?"

Another person said with bad intentions: "Manager Tong rejected the recommended position of the Workers' Peasants and Soldiers University three months ago. Didn't you hear any news at that time?"

Tong Xuelu's eyes fell on the person who spoke last: "What do you mean by saying this? Minister Lin suggested to me that the issue of the Workers’ Peasants and Soldiers University was in June, and the newspaper stated that the Ministry of Education was discussing the resumption of the college entrance examination in August. If you are stupid, you should read more, read more newspapers and talk less!"

"Puff, hahaha."

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

The popularity blushed, but he dared not refute it.

Seeing everyone's gaze fell on themselves, they turned away blushing.

After such an encounter, no one dared to talk nonsense anymore.

I don't know if it was their illusion, everyone present felt that Tong Xuelu's aura was getting stronger and stronger.

Tong Xuelu then continued to explain: "I refused to take care of my younger brothers and sisters in the family before. Now I am going to participate because my grandfather wants to be transferred back to Beijing."

Her grandfather's transfer order finally came down half a month ago and will be transferred to the commander of the Beijing Army next month.

But having said that, this time the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was announced in advance, and there is indeed her contribution here.

In history, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was only announced in late October. At that time, it was only more than a month before the college entrance examination. Many people were caught off guard by the news.

There are no books or review materials, and many people are as anxious as ants on a hot pot. If they can get the news in advance, the situation will be very different.

In August, when Grandpa told her about the resumption of the college entrance examination, she euphemistically said about it. Turning back, Grandpa used his power and contacts to operate, prompting the news to be announced one month in advance.

Of course she would not say such things.

When everyone heard that her grandfather was going to be transferred back to Beijing as a commander, they became more enthusiastic about her attitude.

"But Manager Tong goes to take the college entrance examination. If he passes the entrance examination, wouldn't the position of the hotel manager be suspended for four years?"

As soon as this was said, the conference room was quiet for a few seconds.

If Tong Xuelu is admitted to college, it means that someone can take her place for four years.

Dongfeng Hotel is a first-class hotel. If she can take her place, even if she can't be promoted after four years, her wages have actually risen in the past four years.

Therefore, the minds of many people present here are alive.

Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "I have discussed with my family and decided to resign from my managerial position."

The words stirred up thousands of waves, and the words shocked everyone present again.

"Mr. Tong, are you kidding? Although the state assigns jobs after college students graduate, who can guarantee that the assigned jobs will be better than the manager's position?"

"Yes, there is no need for Manager Tong to dismiss the manager's job. When he comes back after graduation, his starting point is high. Why start at the grassroots level?"

Everyone felt that Tong Xuelu was stupid, so why did he give up such a good position?

Tong Xuelu shook his head: "I have already thought about it, and I'll talk to Minister Lin when I look back."

Most people keep their positions because they are afraid that they will have no future, or they want to come back and continue to work in the industry after graduation.

But she knows very well that state-owned hotels have no future. State-owned hotels will go downhill starting next year, and eventually disappear under the impact of the free economy and become a product of the times.

Since she didn't plan to come back to the state-run hotel, why should she occupy the **** pit instead of shit?

It's better to give up your position at this time, and you can accumulate more goodwill and connections for yourself.

Everyone saw that she was determined, and they felt that she was stupid, but they were ready to occupy this position.

Soon the leaders came over.

After the meeting, Tong Xuelu told Minister Lin about taking the college entrance examination and resigning as manager.

Minister Lin was also shocked after hearing her words: "Manager Tong, can you think about it clearly?"

Tong Xuelu nodded: "Yes, I have considered it clearly, and I will send a letter of resignation later."

"Now that Manager Tong has considered it clearly, then I will not persuade you anymore. The compensation for resignation will be given to you at that time."

Minister Lin did not retain or persuade him, because Tong Xuelu had resigned, so he could arrange for his own person to be the manager of Dongfeng Hotel.

Tong Xuelu nodded, turned and walked out of the office.

The position of a hotel manager is not like a waiter that can be bought or sold or transferred to others, especially the position of a first-level hotel manager must be recommended by the Ministry of Commerce.

But if she resigned from this position, she would be compensated accordingly.

Secretary Zhuo also sighed after learning that Tong Xuelu was going to take the college entrance examination and resigning as manager.

**

After returning to the hotel, Tong Xuelu also told a few people in the hotel about his decision, and the group was also shocked.

After the shock, everyone felt a little depressed again.

Guo Chunyu: "I don't know who the Ministry of Commerce will arrange to be the manager. If it wasn't for my poor education level, I would definitely go to the college entrance examination with you!"

Except for Tong Xuelu who is going to take the college entrance examination, Meng Qingqing and Wu Lizhu also decided to take it, but Oda is still hesitating.

Master Lei nodded: "No, it's a pity that I'm a big boss, and I'm the most afraid of studying in my life."

Master Meng sat beside him without saying a word, but his heart was similarly ups and downs.

He couldn't get along with Liu Dongchang before, and finally met such a good manager as Tong Xuelu, and didn't want her to quit suddenly.

If it is difficult to turn around, it will be difficult.

Meng Qingqing and Wu Lizhu were very grateful to Tong Xuelu for encouraging them to study.

Sure enough, the opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared!

Tong Xuelu submitted his resignation letter the next day, and within three days, the Ministry of Commerce had made arrangements.

The person who came to replace him was named Mo. He had previously worked as a secretary in the Ministry of Commerce. I heard that he was Minister Lin's nephew.

Tong Xuelu had a two-day handover with the other party, and after receiving the compensation, he officially retired from the Dongfeng Hotel.

When she left, Meng Qingqing and others pooled the money to give her a gift. Although the gift was not a precious thing, it still made Tong Xuelu feel very warm.

She gave the snacks made in advance to everyone, so that they can find themselves when they have time.

When Tong Xuelu resigned as manager, Xiao Mianmian was the happiest person.

She was sent to Wei's house before, but now Tong Xuelu doesn't have to go to work. She can follow her sister every day like a little tail.

The sweet-scented osmanthus of September in the yard is blooming one after another.

Tong Xuelu took advantage of his free time and planned to pluck the osmanthus flowers to make osmanthus wine.

To make sweet-scented osmanthus wine, you must use freshly bloomed sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus. After careful selection, put the picked sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus in a cool and ventilated place to dry for one day, and then prepare a jar without water and oil.

After putting the sweet-scented osmanthus in, pour in a bottle of white wine, a small amount of rock sugar and wolfberry, and then store it tightly in a cool place.

After two or three months, the osmanthus wine can be drunk.

Tong Xuelu wanted to sterilize the mooncake before, but because everyone interceded for it, the mooncake temporarily saved the egg.

A few days ago, the Wei family contacted a family with a dog and planned to bred mooncakes as a dog dad.

Today, after finishing her housework, she is going to bathe the mooncakes, and plan to let them be clean as a groom dog.

Mooncakes like to take a bath very much. When he heard that Tong Xuelu wanted to bathe it, his tail almost shook like a propeller.

Xiao Mianmian came over to help, rubbing two small paws on the mooncake.

The mooncakes are now growing bigger and bigger, standing taller than the small dumplings. Although they are white, they look fierce.

However, it was very gentle to the family. At this time, Xiao Mianmian did not groan anymore, and stood still obediently.

Tong Xuelu was planning to get a basin of water to rinse the mooncakes. Who knew that as soon as she stood up she saw a small bug crawling across Xiao Mianmian's hair quickly.

"Mianmian, don't move."

She said that she washed her hands clean and then slashed her hair to catch the bugs.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the hair was stripped, he saw a lot of white worm eggs inside, and a few worms crawled over the scalp quickly.

"!!!"

Tong Xuelu's goose bumps all over her body.

Isn't Xiao Mianmian's hair a lice?

She had heard that many people in this era have lice. After she returned to Tong's house, she paid attention to the hygiene of the three siblings, so the three siblings had never grown that thing in the past year.

But she had never seen lice, and she was a little uncertain at this time.

Xiao Mianmian blinked his big eyes: "Sister, can Mianmian move? Mianmian's neck is sore."

Looking at the mooncakes on the side, they suddenly stopped and didn't bathe themselves. They turned their heads and looked at them with big eyes, and their eyes were as curious as Xiao Mianmian.

Tong Xuelu felt itchy scalp inexplicably: "You sit here and don't move. My sister will ask Grandma Shen to come over next door."

Xiao Mianmian didn't know what was going on, but he still handled it well.

Tong Xuelu ran to Wei's house and told Shen Wanrong about it.

Shen Wanrong: "Mianmian didn't go out to play with other children, and you love cleaning so much, why does she have lice?"

Tong Xuelu controlled the urge to scratch his scalp: "I don't know. Grandma Shen will help me go over and take a look."

Shen Wanrong should be fine, come with her to Tong's house and take a look at Xiao Mianmian's hair.

It's terrible, it's really a louse!

The goose bumps on Tong Xuelu's arm rose again: "I didn't notice when I washed her hair the day before yesterday. Why did she suddenly get lice?"

Shen Wanrong said: "I suspect she was infected by Zhuzhu."

Xiao Mianmian and Wei Zhuzhu have a very good relationship. Wei Zhuzhu will go to school this month, but it does not affect the relationship between the two little sisters.

As soon as she came back from school, she would come over to play with Xiao Mianmian. The two little sisters ate and slept together. Wei Zhuzhu was most likely to infect her with lice.

Tong Xuelu: "Grandma Shen, you can quickly show me too, my scalp suddenly feels itchy, I suspect that I have also been infected."

"Then you squat down, I will show you."

Upon hearing this, Tong Xuelu squatted down quickly.

Shen Wanrong took off her hair and checked it twice: "No, it should be Zhuzhu who was dyed by her classmates at school in the past two days, and then dyed Mianmian after she came back. Fortunately, she found it early, otherwise several children could not avoid it. open."

Tong Xuelu breathed a sigh of relief immediately, but she still felt that her scalp was very strict because of the relationship hinted in her heart.

Xiao Mianmian didn't know what happened, and blinked his **** grape-like eyes: "Sister, what's wrong with Mianmian's head? Is there a bug?"

Tong Xuelu nodded: "You have lice on your head. My sister has to find a way to catch the lice for you."

Shen Wanrong said: "Wash her hair first, and I will go home and bring grate and white vinegar."

Tong Xuelu nodded and responded, first went to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water, and when he came back, he washed the mooncakes and let them dry the hair in the yard.

Once the mooncakes were bathed, they ran around the yard like crazy, flicking their hair from time to time, and after running for a few laps, they stretched out their tongues and lay motionless on the open space.

Shen Wanrong brought something over, and then helped Xiao Mianmian wash her hair with Yanhong and white vinegar.

After washing, cover your hair tightly with a towel for ten minutes, and then wash it off.

Tong Xuelu: "Grandma Shen, is this white vinegar really useful for lice?"

Shen Wanrong: "It is useful for lice, but the lice eggs may not be useful, so I will use a grate to give her the eggs out later."

She can let Tong Xuelu cook food, but she really feels terrible about things like lice.

Shen Wanrong looked scared the first time she saw her, she couldn't help but feel funny: "If you are scared, just stand by the side. I'll help Mianmian."

After grate three or four times, three or four lice and a few unwashed lice eggs emerged from the grate, and Tong Xuelu's scalp started to itch again.

"Grandma Shen, is that all right?"

Shen Wanrong: "In the next three or four days, you have to wash your hair with white vinegar, and you have to use a grate several times a day."

Good fellow, Tong Xuelu decided in his heart to start sleeping in separate beds with Xiao Mian tonight.

When Wei Zhuzhu came back from school in the afternoon, Shen Wanrong opened her hair to check her, and she was recruited together.

Tong Xuelu also checked Xiao Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin, but fortunately they were not recruited.

At night, Xiao Mianmian looked at his little quilt and little pillows being placed on the little bed, and suddenly became confused.

Tong Xuelu was guilty of conscience by her big watery eyes, but she told her the truth: "Mianmian, you have lice in your hair. If your sister sleeps with you, the lice will most likely be transmitted to her. , So you have to sleep alone these days, can you do it?"

Xiao Mian's red lips were pursed, and he nodded and said, "It's okay."

Tong Xuelu subconsciously raised her hand and was about to rub her hair. Only in the middle of the air did she recover, and she squeezed her small face instead: "Mianmian is really good, and my sister will make you sweet-scented osmanthus cake tomorrow."

When Xiao Mianmian heard that there was food, the "wounded" little mind felt better.

It took a few days for the lice on the heads of Xiao Mianmian and Wei Zhuzhu to be completely cured.

When the mooncakes returned happily from the countryside, it was also Tong Xuelu's birthday.

**

September 27th is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival is Tong Xuelu's birthday.

Because the barbecue during the New Year was very successful, Tong Xuelu thought about it and decided that it would be better to have a barbecue this birthday.

Barbecuing is simple and convenient, and everyone gathers together to have a barbecue and talk and enjoy the moon. The atmosphere is very good.

On the birthday, everyone except Commander Xiao in the northwest and Piao Jianyi who went on a business trip outside.

Wen Rugui wanted to come back a day earlier, but he couldn't ask for leave.

However, on Tong Xuelu's birthday, he came here early.

I remember that at this time last year, they had not yet determined their relationship, and I didn't expect that one year passed.

Wen Rugui gave her a military coat last year and a pair of ladies leather shoes this year.

The style of the leather shoes is completely incomparable with later, although the quality is quite good, the material is real, but the style is really ugly.

But this is the most fashionable style in this era.

Seeing the leather shoes, Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "Have you never heard that you can't give shoes between objects?"

Wen Rugui asked, "Why can't you give me shoes?"

Tong Xuelu blinked: "I heard that the subjects cannot send umbrellas, because the two people will be separated, and the subjects cannot send shoes, because the subjects will wear shoes and run away with others."

"!!!"

Wen Rugui's face turned green in an instant: "I haven't heard of these before, or if you give me your shoes, I'll give you a goodbye gift later."

After speaking, his moist-like eyes fixed on the shoes in her hand, as if she nodded, he would immediately grab the shoes and destroy them on the spot.

Tong Xuelu almost didn't laugh when he saw him looking at the shoes with "jealous hatred": "I gave it all, it's okay."

"It's related, I don't want to... You ran away with someone else."

After speaking, the tips of his ears turned red.

Tong Xuelu took out a dime from his pocket and handed it over: "You take it, as if I bought it from you, so it's cracked."

Wen Rugui said suspiciously: "Is this really resolved?"

He studies physics and science, and never believes in ghosts and gods, but when it comes to dealing with Tong Xuelu, he would rather believe it.

Tong Xuelu nodded and leaned in to kiss him on the cheek: "Thank you for the gift, I like it very much."

Not surprisingly, Wen Rugui's face turned red all at once.

Although the two have been together for more than half a year and have kissed many times, Wen Rugui is still so shy.

Tong Xuelu likes to see him blushing, every time she sees him like this, all kinds of evil thoughts pop up in her heart.

For example, at this time, I want to bully him.

Tsk tsk, she really lives in the soul of a female gangster.

Others came over one after another, as they did during the Chinese New Year, with all kinds of meat in their hands.

Unlike the New Year, there is also Xiao Chengping who came together this time.

Since Xiao Chengping was transferred back to Beijing, he often uninvited himself to attend their gatherings.

As for how he knew it, naturally he knew it through Fang Jingyuan.

At this time the two are arguing.

Fang Jingyuan flushed with anger: "Mung bean eyes, do you want to be shameless. Every time you stay at the gate and follow me, if you do this, I will go to your troops and tell you the leader!"

Xiao Chengping scratched his head: "Who said I followed you? The road is not yours. Besides, Xuelu didn't say that I can't come over. Why are you so angry?"

Fang Jingyuan didn't expect him to be so thick-skinned: "She is too kind-hearted and embarrassed to drive you out. If you didn't come with me every time, how would you know there is a party? You leave me now!"

Saying that she stretched out her hand to push Xiao Chengping out.

Xiao Chengping naturally didn't want to leave, but Fang Jingyuan was a lesbian, so he couldn't push back directly, so she kept dodge.

Fang Jingyuan suddenly pushed her into the air and rushed to the ground.

"Ah ah, mung bean eyes, save me!"

Xiao Chengping couldn't laugh or cry, and even called him Mung Bean Eye at this time.

However, he couldn't help the death. He reached out and grabbed Fang Jingyuan's arm and pulled her towards him.

Fang Jingyuan was pulled hard by him, and her whole body rushed towards him and slammed **** his chest.

Fang Jingyuan sucked in pain, and pushed him away. "What is your chest made of and why is it so hard?"

"The man's chest must be hard."

Xiao Chengping's dark skin suddenly turned red, it was only because the color was too dark that it could not be seen:

In fact, he and Fang Jingyuan share the same emotion and shock.

He never knew that a woman's chest would be so soft.

When she ran into him just now, he seemed to have been charged by an electric current, and his whole body trembled.

I don't know if there is a ghost in his heart, he subconsciously dare not look at her.

Fang Jingyuan snorted, glared at him and said, "Every time I see you, nothing good happens. Stay away from me."

After speaking, she turned and ran to find Tong Xuelu.

Xiao Chengping looked at her back, stretched out his hand to cover her chest, the position of her chest was beating very crazy at this time.

This is the first time I have felt this way.

Thinking of the scene where the two collided just now, his throat rolled a few times subconsciously, and then he felt very thirsty.

He strode to the living room and poured a large glass of cold water into it, which only suppressed the restlessness in his heart a little.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I looked up, I saw Fang Jingyuan standing next to the window, talking to Xiao Mianmian right now.

She pouted for a while, then shook her head.

He suddenly felt that Fang Jingyuan's way of speaking was cute, and he wanted to pinch her round face.

Really hell.

**

In addition to preparing barbecue and seasoning sauce, Tong Xuelu also made some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus plum soup.

But now she didn't entertain everyone outside, but coaxed her warmly in the room.

Because Wen Rugui is jealous.

Just now, Tong Jiaxin ran home from outside, holding a package brought back from the postman in his hand.

The parcel was not sent by someone else, but by Xie Guangkun who had been back to the United States for half a year.

In addition to the painting book for Tong Jiaxin, the package also included a birthday present for her.

This package happened to be seen by Wen Rugui, and then Cutie sulked and ate a big bucket of vinegar.

Tong Xuelu saw that everyone was in the yard, closed the door gently, and then leaned in to poke him in the chest.

"You told me honestly. When we were in Yangzhou last time, did you catch a cold that day, did you deliberately take a cold bath?"

"!!!"

Wen Rugui's heart made a "thump", and his ears turned red all of a sudden: "Did you find it?"

Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows: "So I really guessed it?"

Wen Rugui blushed and nodded, not daring to look at her: "I... don't want you to go out and take pictures with Comrade Xie."

At that time, he really didn't want to see her and Xie Guangkun together, and he couldn't do anything despicable, so he had to make himself sick.

Tong Xuelu was a little skeptical when he was in Yangzhou before, but others did not ask him at that time.

When she came back, she got busy and forgot about it. She didn't want him to be so excited when he saw Xie Guangkun's package at this moment. Only then did she remember what happened when she was in Yangzhou.

Tong Xuelu couldn't laugh or cry: "Actually, you don't have to worry, I am a friend of Comrade Xie, I...you are the only person in my heart."

The warm heart seemed to have fireworks in full bloom, and for the first time clearly felt the meaning of the heart in full bloom.

He looked at her with moist eyes, and his eyes were filled with tenderness: "You are the only one in my heart."

This has always been the case since the beginning.

In the future, it will be the same.

After speaking, he gently cupped her face, and then kissed her rosy lips.

At first he kissed very tenderly, and gradually became overbearing Xiao Wen.

Gentle and strong.

Two minutes later.

Tong Xuelu's voice was a little unstable: "If you let me go, you... have burned me."

Wen Rugui stiffened, and his heart almost stopped beating.

Tong Xuelu looked at his **** face and suppressed a smile and said: "I said I like you to be wild, but you are too wild."
