201: The family guided by Tong

The moment she saw Tong Yi's face, tears welled up in the middle-aged woman's eyes.

More than three years, more than a thousand days and nights!

I miss you tens of thousands of times!

They all turned into tears at this moment.

Tong Yi didn't hold back and rushed over, simply hugging his mother.

Yes, this middle-aged woman is Tong Yi’s mother Xiao Yuhua.

Looking at the white hair on her mother's head and the wrinkles on her face, Tong Yi's heart was as sharp as a knife. Unknowingly, her mother had aged, and years had left traces of wind and frost on her face.

Tong Yi hugged her tightly, unwilling to let go.

The neighbors around looked at all this in amazement, and some even asked, "Mr. Xiao, who is this? Is it your boss who is back?" .??.

Yes, Tong Yi’s mother is a people’s teacher and now teaches sixth grade mathematics at the town center primary school in Xingyou Town. The central primary school in Xingyou Town is not far from the Junior High School in Xingyou Town, just one street away.

Mother Tong immediately turned her head and replied with surprise, "Yes, this is my boss! Boss, this is Teacher Guo!"

Tong Yi immediately turned to look at this middle-aged man with a Mediterranean beer belly and said hello, "Hello, Teacher Guo!"

Then, Mother Tong introduced the neighbors to Tong Yi. At this time, Mother Tong's face was filled with a happy smile.

Tong Yi greeted the neighbors one by one, most of whom he knew, and occasionally some whom he did not know.

Suddenly, Aunt Mou next door said to Mother Tong, "Teacher Xiao, are there guests at your house? Your boss has brought you a foreign wife!"

The people around him also echoed.

At this time, Tong's mother saw Martina behind Tong Yi.

She looked at Martina with surprise and curiosity, and she became more and more satisfied as she looked at her. But he still asked, "Boss, is this friend of yours your girlfriend?"

Tong Yi was shocked. It seemed that his parents were still very concerned about his news and even knew about these things.

Tong Yi immediately brought Martina down and introduced him to his mother, "Yes, Mom! This is my girlfriend, Martina, Martina Shugula Baker! Martina, This is my mother, Ms. Xiao Yuhua!"

Martina immediately bowed to say hello to Tong's mother.

Mother Tong immediately held Martina's slender hand tightly, her face full of excitement and satisfaction.

Then, Tong's mother pulled Martina towards the house, but completely forgot about Tong Yi.

I really had a wife and forgot about my son!

Tong Yi really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Tong Yi immediately followed, and then he watched his mother keep telling Martina.

Although Tong’s mother teaches primary school mathematics, she also speaks pretty good English.

OK.

Therefore, some simple communication can still be done.

Seeing that there was no big obstacle in the communication between Martina and Tong's mother, Tong Yi didn't have anything to worry about now. Tong Yi could only sit beside him and couldn't even get a word in. For just a short while, Tong Yi felt that he had been betrayed. All the embarrassing things he had done when he was a child were betrayed to Martina by his mother.

Martina was smiling from ear to ear, turning her head to Tong Yi and winking at her from time to time, teasing Tong Yi.

Tong Yi couldn't stand it anymore and immediately asked, "Mom, where is my dad? Is he still in class?"

Yes, Tong Yi’s father, Tong Haishan, is also a people’s teacher.

However, Tong Haishan is an English teacher and head teacher at Xingyou Town Junior High School.

Mother Tong said, "Yes, your dad's third class is about to end this morning. Just wait a moment. Why don't you go and take a look?"

Tong Yi nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look!"

Tong Yi stood up, and then Tong's mother said, "You should also take Martina to see your old alma mater, so that she can have a good understanding of your past! Mom will buy some food and come back. I will give you your favorite potato stew at noon today." Ribs!"

Tong Yi nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Mom!"

Mother Tong immediately waved to Tong and Yi, then tidied up her clothes and went out.

Looking at Tong's mother's retreating back, Tong Yi's eyes were filled with emotion.

Tong Yi still remembers that when he was a child, his family was poor and he couldn't afford pork for four yuan a pound on a regular basis. He usually only ate pork once every two occasions, that is, he ate pork once every six or seven days. On the contrary, at that time, ribs were very cheap.

And at that time, the pork ribs in their town were not called pork ribs, but ribs.

They usually cut off the bones and sell them with a little bit of meat, which is also very cheap, costing two yuan a pound.

At that time, Tong's mother often came to sell this kind of Leba ribs in order to let him eat meat, and asked the stall owner to leave more meat on it, which gradually formed the pork ribs of later generations.

Every time she bought it home, Tong’s mother would burn the bones and potatoes together.

Little Tongyi thought this was the most beautiful delicacy in the world.

By now, Tong Yi has eaten countless pork ribs cooked with potatoes, but he still thinks his mother's ones are the most delicious.

After a while of emotion, Tong Yi took Martina into Tong Yi's former alma mater, Xingyou Town Junior High School. To be honest, Tong Yi was very emotional after walking in.

At first glance, Xingyou Town Junior High School has been renovated, and there are some changes from how it looked in memory. But really not much has changed, Tong Yi can still see the shadow of the past. deep feeling

Looking around, they are all the shadows of Tong Yi when he was thirty-four years old.

It's not just him here, there are his classmates, his brothers and sisters.

What flooded into my mind was filled with memories.

Martina held Tong Yi's right hand tightly and leaned her head on Tong Yi's shoulder. She felt the turbulence in Tong Yi's heart.

Tong Yi looked at Martina gratefully, and then slowly told her a series of interesting things that happened here when he was a boy, told her about the changes he had made so far, and about this school. As it was.

Martina was very quiet, listened intently, and responded from time to time.

Gradually, Martina was brought back to the school in Tong Yi's memory by Tong Yi's talk, feeling the silly and happy things Tong Yi had done here, as if she had participated in her childhood.

Tong Yi also led Martina outside the classroom where she once went to school and explained her past to her.

At this time, they have become the focus of countless people.

After all, this was the first time for foreigners to come to Xingyou Town Junior High School. The students in the school were very surprised. They looked at each other secretly or blatantly, and some even pointed. Some of the more daring little guys waved directly at Tong Yi and Martina and shouted, "Hi, hello, what's your name?" They only knew a few words in English.

As he spoke, he turned to look at his companion and laughed.

To be honest, looking at these little guys, Tong Yi also thought of himself in childhood.

When I was little, I was even more naughty than these guys.

Tong Yi waved to these little guys, but most of them were frightened and moved back. Only a few brave guys stood at the front and stared at Tong Yi. And asked Tong Yi, "Who are you? Who are you looking for? Who is the foreigner behind you? Is it your girlfriend?"

Tong Yi was shocked. These little guys knew a lot.

Tong Yi chatted with these little guys for a few words and then left. Because class is about to start, it’s not good to interrupt here. Tong Yi took Martina to the school playground again. Even now, the school playground is still muddy.

It’s fine on a sunny day, but the mud playground is quite nice.

But once it rains, the playground is completely useless and is completely muddy.

Moreover, it is rainy and rainy here in Xichuan Xingyou Town, so there is really not much time to use the playground.

After walking around the campus with Martina for a long time, Tong Yi almost forgot about coming to see his father. After reacting, he immediately found his father's office and learned that Lao Tong had gone home from get off work. Tong Yi had no choice but to take Martina home and wait for him to arrive

When he entered his small shop, he found Lao Tong, wearing glasses and a black Chinese tunic suit, bending over to wash vegetables.

Tong Yi hurried over and said, "Dad, let me do it!"

Then, Tong Yi snatched the dishes from Lao Tong's hands and started cleaning them.

Lao Tong snorted with a straight face and ignored Tong Yi at all. Instead, he turned to look at Martina with a smile, greeted Martina gently and motioned for her to come over and sit down.

Tong Yi sighed, Lao Tong was blaming him, blaming him for not coming home for more than three years.

Regarding this, Tong Yi's heart was naturally filled with guilt.

When Tong's mother saw all this, she glared at Old Tong fiercely, and then mercilessly exposed Old Tong and said, "Usually, when my son is not at home, he keeps thinking about it, but now that he is back, you are embarrassing others. You Did you say it was done?"

Old Tong's face darkened, and he thought to himself, "You prodigal bitch, don't I want to lose face, Old Tong?"

However, Tong's mother also scolded Tong Yi for why she didn't go home for so many years. As she talked, Tong's eyes became moist again.

Tong Yi immediately stepped forward to comfort his mother, and at the same time immediately admitted his mistake, saying that he would never do it again in the future.

With Martina's persuasion, it took a while to persuade her mother.

Then, Martina was taken away by Mother Tong, saying she was helping with cooking, but in fact she wanted to spend more time with her daughter-in-law.

Mr. Tong Yi and Lao Tong were left awkwardly where they were.

It was Lao Tongxia who opened his mouth to resolve the embarrassment, asking about Tong Yi's life and work abroad, and encouraging Tong Yi to do a good job and not to disappoint the Chinese people. Since you have chosen this line of work, you must know your mission, do you understand?

Tong Yi nodded slightly and said, "I know!"

Then, Lao Tong said, "Well, school is almost over. You go to the elementary school to pick up your little sister and come back for lunch!"

Tong Yi immediately said, "Okay, I'll go right away!"

Yes, this life. Tong Yi's parents were not like Tong Yi in their previous life. In this life, Tong and his wife had three children, and Tong Yi was the eldest. The second eldest child, Tong Er, is currently studying in college away from home, and the third eldest child, Tong Shanshan, is currently in fourth grade at Xingyou Town Primary School.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen this little girl for more than three years. To be honest, Tong Yi still misses her very much. Hearing this, he immediately stood up and was about to walk out.

Lao Tong immediately said, "Do you remember what grade this little girl is in?"

Tong Yi said confidently, "I know, fourth grade!"

Old Tong immediately rolled his eyes at Tong Yi and said, "You incompetent brother, this little girl is now in the fifth grade of elementary school, Class 52!"

Embarrassed, Tong Yi immediately covered his face and ran away!
