Chapter 255 - How is he going to live? (3)
Edited by: Lulu
She turned to look at Tong Jiaming’s test paper and her brows finally unfurrowed.
He was, indeed, destined to be the top dog in the business world in the future.
He scored 100 in literature and 100 in mathematics.
She looked at his notebooks. They were neat, organized, and very pleasant to look at.
She returned the test papers back to the two, paused, and said, “From now on, we are going to make some changes at home.”
Tong Jiaxin’s heart was pounded. “What kind of changes?”
Tong Xuelu, “Starting tomorrow, I will be distributing the food for lunch and dinner. They will be distributed according to your behavior that day.
“Unhygienic behaviors, deduct a piece of meat. Subpar house work, also deduct a piece of meat. Failing in your examination, deduct meat for a month!”
Tong Jiaxin, “……”
All of these rules were targeting him!
At this rate, he would never have meat again!
Tong Jiaxin was so emotional that his cheeks were red. “Big Sister, that is unfair. With my grades, I will never have meat again!”
Tong Xuelu looked over at him. “That will depend on whether you want to have meat again. If you want to have meat, you will need to figure out a way to improve your grades.
“I am a fair person. If your grades improve, I will reward you as well. But if your grades maintain where they currently are, you will never have another bite of meat!”
Tong Jiaxin was close to tears.
He felt that he would never have meat again for the rest of his life!
To reward Tong Jiaming, Tong Xuelu let him have the fountain pen that was gifted to her by Jiang Danhong.
She had the one from Wen Rugui already and she didn’t need two pens. There was no need to let it go to waste.
Tong Jiaming had always been a nonchalant one but his eyes still lit up when he saw the fountain pen. “Thank you, Big Sister!”
Looking at his Second Brother, Tong Jiaxin’s look was filled with envy.
Life was so unfair!
In order to drive her point home and to let Tong Jiaxin knew that she was not joking, Tong Xuelu made herself, Tong Mianmian, and Tong Jiaming a malt drink after they had completed their homework. Tong Jiaxin did not get any.
Tong Jiaxin’s eyes widened. “Big Sister, you said only meat will be deducted. Why can’t I have a malt drink?”
He was anxious. He was anxious. He was anxious.
Tong Xuelu, “Oh, I had forgotten to mention earlier. Deducting meat is one thing. If you don’t do well, there will also not be any snacks or sweets!”
Meaning, you wouldn’t starve, but you wouldn’t have anything tasty either.
Tong Jiaxin wanted to cry. He turned to look at Tong Jiaming, “Second Brother, can you give me some of yours?”
Tong Jiaming thought about it some and shook his head. “No, if you want to have some, you will need to bring your grades up. I’ll start tutoring you tomorrow.”
Tong Jiaxin: Wuwuwu, how is he to live from this point forward? QAQ

After training him for a few days, Guo Weiping was able to make a few dishes now. They didn’t taste as good as Tong Xuelu’s but they were not bad either.
Guo Weiping’s eyes reddened when he tasted his own cooking.
After lunch today, Tong Xuelu pulled out her textbooks and started reading then. Then Liu Dongchang walked over to her.
Liu Dongchang ran his fingers through his hair and said to her, “Comrade Tong, can you step out for a second? There’s something that I want to talk to you about.”
As soon as he had said that, everybody in the lobby looked over at them.
Tan Xiaoyan, in particular, her eyes were like spotlights and she stared straight at Tong Xuelu and Liu Dongchang.
Tong Xuelu gave him a baffled look, “Can’t we talk about it right here?”
Liu Dongchang shook his head. “That won’t be appropriate. Just c’mon out.”
Tong Xuelu felt that he was acting strangely. But it was broad daylight and they would be outdoor, so she followed him out after thinking over it some.
The two stopped some 3-4 meters away from the restaurant.
The weather had been getting colder and colder. Even in the afternoon, it was still windy outside and the wind could make one’s face hurt.
Tong Xuelu, “What is it that you want to talk to me about, Manager Liu?”
She didn’t really feel like looking at his square face in this wind.
