The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories - Ch 452
Chapter 452 - "That you won't be able to have children!" (2)
A few days later, words that Tong Jiaming had skipped a grade got out.
He successfully enrolled himself with City Nan High School and would start going there the next day.
Tong Jiaxin was very upset when he learned of the news. “Does that mean I can’t go to school with you anymore, Second Brother?”
Tong Jiaming nodded. “You will have to go to school by yourself going forward. Pay attention in class and don’t get into fights.”
Tong Jiaxin pouted and looked dispirited.
Tong Jiaxin was actually more attached to Tong Jiaming than Tong Mianmian. He just didn’t let it show too much as he was a boy.
Tong Xuelu quickly learned of the news when she got home that night.
She smiled and asked Tong Jiaming. “Have you thought about what you want yet?”
Tong Jiaxin was a little shy. “I would like a pair of Warrior sneakers.”
Tong Xuelu nodded without thinking. “Okay. We will go buy them at the department store this weekend when school is off.”
A pair of Warrior sneakers cost 8 yuan in this day and age. They were doubtless a luxury item. Nevertheless, it was also very fashionable to have a pair of white sneakers.
Only a handful of people at school had a pair of white sneakers.
That was the first time Tong Xuelu had seen a smile that belonged to his age on Tong Jiaming. “Thank you, Big Sister!”
Tong Jiaxin had a very envious look on him. How he wanted to have a pair of Warrior white sneakers!
Nevertheless, the thought of his own academic achievements brought him down instantly.
With his scores, he probably would never own a pair of white sneakers.
He could only wait until his Second Brother had outgrown his shoes so he could have them.
That thought made him happy again.
Looking at the instant mood change on Tong Jiaxin’s face, Tong Xuelu felt very speechless.

Tis was the lantern festival.
In addition to tuanyuan, Tong Xuelu also made some dumplings.
The dumpling wraps were thin with three types of stuffing. They were all rounded in shapes and looked incredibly cute.
The bamboo shoots inside the dumplings were crispy and taste sumptuous and the mushrooms flavorful. With the lard, one’s mouth was filled with deliciousness with just one bite.
She made three different types of tuanyuan – sesame, peanuts, and red bean filling.
The tuanyuan wrap was chewy and would melt in one’s mouth. When one bit into one, the filling would leak out and fill one’s mouth with deliciousness.
The Tong siblings could not stop eating.
They were never able to have tuanyuan for lantern festival in the past. The one time that they made tuanyuan at home, they had no filling inside. They had thought that was tasty at the time. Now they knew what true tastiness was.
Tong Xuelu made quite a bit of them. Not only did she take some over to the Wei’s, she also brought some over to Old Mr. Wen.
Both Old Mr. Wen and Uncle Zong smiled so bright that their eyes disappeared.
Old Mr. Wen gave her the red pocket that he had prepared ahead of time. “Good girl. This is your red envelope.”
Tong Xuelu, “Grandpa Wen, you had already given me red envelope over the New Year.”
Old Mr. Wen waved his hand. “Oh, you have no idea. Handing out red envelopes over Lantern Festival is customary where I came from. Hurry up and take it. It is bad luck otherwise.”
Tong Xuelu, “……”
Old Mr. Wen was trying very hard to give her money.
Not letting her decline him, Old Mr. Wen shoved the red pocket into her hand.
Not having any options, Tong Xuelu finally accepted it.
She spent a total of half an hour at the Wen’s.
Low and behold, Wen Rugui returned from the base right after she had taken off.
Old Mr. Wen was shocked when he saw Wen Rugui. “What are you doing home? Xuelu just took off some 10 minutes ago. Haven’t you run into her?”
Wen Rugui was taken aback a little then he shook his head. “No, I didn’t. I must have just missed her.”
“Rugui, Xuelu is such a nice girl. Don’t let this opportunity slip you by. Hurry up and marry her already.”
Old Mr. Wen picked up a dumpling and dipped it into the sauce. He couldn’t even describe how amazing it tasted with words.
Normally, Wen Rugui would either remain silent or said he would need to ask Tong Xuelu’s opinion when Old Mr. Wen brought up this subject.
This time, however, as soon as Old Mr. Wen had finished talking, he could hear Wen Rugui saying, “Grandpa, I want to head to the Tong’s to propose.”
SMACK!
The dumpling that Old Mr. Wen was holding fell straight onto the floor.
