The small dam on the stone bridge on the other side of the lake in Dahe Village is built with cement.

Except for the rough surface, it feels a bit like the rough wall of a building.

As for the others, they are no less strong than cement.

Even after drying, the colors are very close.

Lu Miao hadn't put down his things yet, and was squatting on the side waiting with a book in his arms.

Fu Jingyou was busy with his hands, but he kept talking:

"How are you today?"

"I just picked up the textbooks. I should have returned a long time ago, but the school asked us to take pictures as a souvenir, so we spent quite a while doing that."

"Will you give us a copy of the photo later?"

"Yes, they said they would give it to everyone who took part in the photo shoot."

Fu Jingyou nodded and said with a smile:

"Okay, then I'll put a small frame on it and frame it."

Lu Miao shook his head, "Forget it!"

She was cleaning up the yard in the morning, and her cuffs and other things were all very dirty. The photos she brought back were even dirtier than that.

Fu Jingyou finished laying the last two bricks. Lu Miao went into the house, put the book on the kang, and ran to the kitchen with a "thump thump thump" sound.

I bought a bucket when I cleaned the yard before, and now there are two buckets in the kitchen, both full of water.

There was also an aluminum ladle, which Fu Jingyou must have bought at the market when he came back.

Lu Miao scooped a bucket of water.

Fu Jingyou moved to the side and bent his waist.

She slowly tilted the ladle and controlled the water flow to wash his hands.

Fu Jingyou scooped two buckets of water before he washed his hands.

The paint applied on the doors and windows yesterday had not yet dried completely. The couple carefully locked the door and strolled to the state-owned restaurant for dinner.

While chatting on the way, I learned that Renmin University accepts many students, and it would take several days just to prepare for registration and accommodation.

Fu Jingyou didn't start formal classes until three days later, and Lu Miao felt a little aggrieved.

She has to go to school to take an exam early tomorrow morning.

There are not many students majoring in foreign languages, and the results will be out in the afternoon. We have to go to school early the day after tomorrow to be assigned to classes. After taking care of some trivial matters, we will officially start classes.

Feeling so busy...

It seems like there has been no rest during this period.

Before school officially started, Lu Miao already started to feel tired.

Fu Jingyou saw that she looked unhappy and comforted her:

"Come into the house and take a nap this afternoon. Leave everything else alone and I'll take care of it."

Lu Miao pursed her red lips and shook her head gently:

"There's not much left. The well has been sealed. I was thinking of bringing my aunt and the child over today."

"Do you want to wait a little longer? The room is still empty."

"It's not too bad. We have the pot and the stove, those rotten cupboards, and firewood... When I pick up my aunt, I can grab some rice, grain, and bacon and start a fire."

Fu Jingyou thought about it and agreed.

"We should go tell Dad first, right? Otherwise, he might come home and bump into the door lock, and we won't know what's going on."

Lu Miao nodded.

The young couple discussed it and took action immediately after dinner.

Fu Jingyou went to school to find Lu Yuanzheng.

Lu Miao counted the things in the yard and emptied out the two wicker boxes. He would take the bus back later so that he could fill them with things when he came back next time.

She had planned well, but she didn't expect that when Fu Jingyou came back, he would be holding Lu Yuanzheng's car keys in his hand.

Lu Miao was confused. Fu Jingyou said:

"Dad couldn't leave, so he asked me to drive there myself."

It will be more convenient and the eldest and second child will suffer less.

Lu Miao blinked, "But, can you drive?"

Fu Jingyou was confident and smiled faintly: "It's almost the same as driving a big iron bull."

Apart from the car model and key, everything else is pretty much the same.

Lu Miao also remembered his previous job, but when he locked the gate and walked out, he still said:

"Drive slowly, safety is the priority."

"knew."

Lu Miao was a little worried, but she didn't feel relieved until she sat in the passenger seat and Fu Jingyou drove for a while.

Fu Jingyou drives very steadily.

Before, when her father was driving, the car would brake occasionally, and she felt a little dizzy and uncomfortable sitting in it.

Fu Jingyou drives very steadily and doesn't have that feeling at all.

Fu Jingyou was actually more nervous than Lu Miao.

Although all cars drive the same, this is his first time driving a small car.

The person sitting in the car was his wife, who was equivalent to his entire fortune. How could he dare to be careless?

Fu Jingyou has been riding in his father-in-law's car for a while now, and he has already become familiar with the route he travels back and forth.

After parking the car at the entrance of Dongcheng Alley, Lu Miao went into the house and told Tang Mei that they would move there today.

Tang Mei suddenly became flustered.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Where do I even begin to clean this up?"

"Just take the rice and some daily necessities. We'll definitely have to come back here to live later, so how can we move everything over there?"

Tang Mei nodded, understanding what was going on.

Letting Lu Miao look after the two children, Tang Mei busied herself with cleaning up.

A few more quilts were collected. Lu Miao said there was no need to take so many. Tang Mei disagreed, saying that if no one was at home for three to five days, the mice would do something bad.

Lu Miao didn't say anything.

Fu Jingyou and others were waiting at the entrance of the alley.

The trunk of the car was opened, and quilts were stuffed into the second row of seats. The trunk was then filled with things, including bacon on one side and a lot of honeycomb coal on the other.

The Lu family has many jars and soup pots of various sizes.

It's been a long time and I don't remember how it came about.

For fear of having to spend more money to buy them there, Tang Mei stuffed several into the trunk.

There are also rice, flour and other things.

Tang Mei is supplied with 28 kilograms of food rations every month.

Lu Yuanzheng is the principal. He usually eats in the school cafeteria with meal tickets, just like the other students.

His city supplies were usually saved.

If Tang Mei remembered, she would go to the grain station to get the money back, and if she forgot, she would just forget it.

He went there from time to time and not from time to time, but the family gradually saved up some food.

Let’s load them into the car now and take them to Qingta Hutong.

When Lu Miao saw the two large bags of rations, he asked a few questions.

After learning the details, Lu Miao said:

"If Dad doesn't use it, the supply of this book will be wasted. Otherwise, just let me take it and I'll pay for the grain exchange later."

"Brother You and I came here, and we both still have rural household registration."

Here, they have no legitimate way to obtain food coupons.

The school has a cafeteria, and you can pay the food fee to exchange for meal tickets and vegetable tickets.

But when they live at home, there are always times when they start a fire at home.

And the school is a big pot, you can imagine the taste...

If he could eat at home, Lu Miao would definitely prefer to eat at home.

Adult males living in cities are supplied with 30 kilograms of food per month.

Among them, 70% are fine grains and 30% are coarse grains.

Her father was a staff member assigned by the organization to a public institution, and his 30 kilograms of food rations were all fine grains.

If you have this book in hand, it will be much more convenient later.

At least there is no need to take risks and look for channels on the black market.

"Just take it if you want. I'll give you mine later."

Tang Mei packed up the children's toys and gave them to Lu Miao, asking her to take them over to load the car.

"We are a family, and we will all eat from the same pot. What's yours and mine?"
