Chapter 1039: Children Playing

Lian Baichuan also joined in the fun, and was taught to count candies by his older brothers and sisters.

Lu Miao told Shi An to be careful and not to hurt his hands, then turned around and continued chattering:

"These candies are also good. If the kids who come to play have some, they can eat them and then make some for them as return gifts. Wouldn't that be nice? It's not easy to buy things here."

Tang Mei shook her head and said:

"You've always had the most excuses in the family!"

"I'm speaking the truth, not making excuses~"

Several children turned their heads to look over. Lu Miao walked over slowly, touched Shi An's head and said:

"If you have something you like, you can plan it out. If you really like it, need it, and it's within your means, then you can buy it. But in your daily life, you need to think carefully. Don't spend recklessly, nor be too frugal."

The young boy Shi An nodded and quickly came to a conclusion:

"We must combine the actual situation and respond flexibly!"

Lu Miao curved his eyes and smiled, praising generously:

“That’s great.”

Shi An gladly accepted his aunt's compliment and continued to make small packages with his brothers and sisters with a smile on his face.

If you want to hold a housewarming party at home, you don’t have to tidy up every corner, but it must look presentable on the surface.

Cleaning here today and there tomorrow, Tang Mei cleans carefully whenever she has time.

Wang Xiu has a keen eye and is a capable person.

She was busy in and out helping Tang Mei clean up, and Tang Mei always praised her when she saw her.

In comparison, Xu Xiangcao is not as good as Wang Xiu in cleaning and tidying up.

One is slow.

Secondly, the slow process does not produce “fine work”.

But Xu Xiangcao is not without merits.

For example, when it comes to taking care of children.

Shian, Mingyi and Mingxia are all grown up and don’t need much care or attention.

But Baichuan still needs it.

Lu Miao noticed that Xu Xiangcao was taking care of Baichuan and was very attentive when taking Baichuan out to play.

This can be considered as her personal strength when she was a nanny.

Excluding introductions from acquaintances, it is really not easy to find a reliable nanny outside.

Lu Miao thought that Xu Xiangcao could help take care of the child, so he kept both of them.

Time flies, and finally it is the day of the housewarming party on August 12th.

Some of the guests who came were familiar to the elders.

There are colleagues or classmates with whom Fu Jingyou has worked in the past.

There are also Lu Miao and children invited

The adults entered the yard and looked around, all of them expressing their admiration.

Everyone says it is well decorated and the house looks grand.

The children were noisy and had already gathered together to play.

Someone saw the cactus that Lu Miao had hung on the terrace railing and pointed at it, asking what it was for.

Lu Yuanzheng smiled and said that it was just the kids at home playing around with it.

The visitors only thought they were Shi An, Da Bao and the others. Probably no one would imagine that the child Lu Yuanzheng was talking about was as big as Lu Miao.

Lu Miao took Minmin back the first day.

Minmin is not very sociable, but she is very sensible.

In order to ensure the smooth running of the banquet hosted by her uncle and aunt, Minmin also played the role of an older sister and watched over the other children while they were playing.

Besides, most of the people I’ve posted messages to before have said they will come.

But it was almost time for the meal to start. Lu Miao walked around and looked around, but he didn't see Chen Xiangdong.

If others don't come, Chen Xiangdong will definitely come. This shouldn't be the case.

Lu Miao was puzzled and only found out what was going on after asking Mei Zi and Lin Xian.

It turned out that a telegram was delivered from the Tianjin Port yesterday, asking me to bring my ID to pick up the goods.

Chen Xiangdong took the bus there in the early morning.

Lu Miao had a rough idea and guessed that it must be the batch of essential oils he had bought before that had passed inspection and arrived at the port.

Chen Xiangdong didn't know when he would be able to come back, and the banquet couldn't wait.

Lu Miao simply didn't wait and started the meal as usual.

Since it was difficult to buy things outside, Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou ordered many dishes from the state-owned restaurant in advance.

Including what I prepared myself, there were a total of five tables at home.

One of the tables is a children's table.

Most of the dishes on the children's table were prepared in advance by Lu Miao, Wang Xiu and Xu Xiangcao.

Meaty and hard dishes are a minority, and most of them are soft and sweet snacks that children like.

For example, pumpkin pie, French fries, candied sweet potato, sweet soup and little rabbit rice balls made with seaweed.

Fu Jingyou and Lu Yuanzheng sat at the table to accompany the guests.

Lu Miao sat at the children's table, where he was responsible for taking care of them and also had the opportunity to play with them.

The adults' table was noisy with people drinking and eating, and the children's table was no less lively.

Especially when the 14-inch cake was brought to the table, there were screams of surprise and excitement:

"Wow! What a huge cake!"

"My birthday is in April, and my mom only bought me a small one!"

"My mom said cakes are really expensive. She didn't buy me any for my last birthday. She only bought me two pieces of egg cake..."

"Shi An/Shi An brother, happy birthday to you!"

After the children finished praising the cake, some of them even turned around and called their parents and grandparents, saying that they also wanted cake for their next birthday.

Lu Miao lit the candles on the cake. When the three children closed their eyes and made a wish, she smiled and sang the birthday song with the other children.

The adults at the nearby tables turned around and looked at him, saying with a smile:

"The room is bright and beautiful, and the banquet is lively. You can tell it was carefully prepared!"

"Haha, yes, yes!"

The whole hall was bustling with activity.

Just as the three children blew out the candles and Lu Miao took a plastic knife to divide the cake, pushing the atmosphere to a new level, Wang Xiu ran over and stood at the door of the hall, waving and shouting:

"Little Sister Lu!"

There are many people coming today, so the main gate in the front yard is open.

Lu Miao asked Tang Mei to pack separate meals for Xu Xiangcao and Wang Xiu, and asked them to check the situation at the gate while they were eating in front.

Wang Xiu ran over at this time, there must be something happening ahead.

After Lu Miao divided the two pieces of cake in his hand, he handed the plastic knife to Shi An:

"Shi An, divide the pieces among the people. If the big pieces are hard to hold, cut them into smaller pieces."

"I understand, Auntie."

Lu Miao patted his head, pulled his hand away and walked out.

Some of the visitors didn't notice, while others thought the servants had something to ask Lu Miao, so they didn't take it too seriously.

Fu Jingyou is different.

Although he was drinking with the elders and guests, he always paid attention to the situation at the children's table.

Seeing Lu Miao stand up and walk out, Fu Jingyou whispered to his father-in-law and left the table briefly.

When Fu Jingyou left the hall, Lu Miao had already finished asking Wang Xiu about the situation and was about to go to the front yard.

Fu Jingyou followed and asked:

"What's wrong?"

"Yu Hong is here. I think the club has some arrangements."

Lu Miao’s new address has not been reported yet.

Yu Hong first bumped into the door lock in Qingta Hutong, and then asked the neighbors before finding her way here.

Yu Hong also walked around the door for a long time before she dared to come in and ask if it was Minister Lu's home.

Xu Xiangcao and Wang Xiu are both new here, so how would they know what “minister or not” means?

Fortunately, Wang Xiu was smart. When he heard Yu Hong mention the word "Lu", he said he would go in and ask.

This is how the current situation came about.
