Chapter 1073: Borrowing Strength

At first Wang Xiu thought Lu Miao was wary of him.

Later, when Wang Xiu saw that the envelope in Lu Miao's hand was obviously thinner than his own, he immediately understood what it meant.

This is not a precaution, but a consideration for her.

Xu Xiangcao’s extra allowance should be less than hers.

If she took the money back, and Xu Xiangcao found out about the difference between them later, with her personality, she might think that she had stolen it or something.

In order to avoid any confusion in the future, it would be most appropriate for the hostess to give out this extra subsidy personally.

Wang Xiu suddenly felt very emotional.

They usually eat whatever dishes are on the host’s table.

Not only do I get a salary every month, but I also get this and that on a regular basis, and even extra subsidies during the holidays!

Where else can you find such a good host?

Not only does Xu Xiangcao not think carefully about how to keep this job, but what on earth does she want to do?

Wang Xiu couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

Everyone has their own way out, and she can only take care of herself.

After expressing his gratitude to the hostess, Wang Xiu happily returned to the front yard carrying two bags of things.

Let’s talk about the inner courtyard.

The living room on the lower floor was noisy and lively.

Lu Miao clapped his hands at the right time to remind the children to take a bath first and then go upstairs to watch the skits on TV.

The children were very enthusiastic and soon dispersed to their rooms to get their clothes.

There are two restrooms in the inner courtyard. Shi An and Ming Yi take a shower together, while Ming Xia takes a shower alone, so they are just full.

Tang Mei took the clothes and originally wanted Minmin and Mingxia to wash them together.

However, Lu Miao had his own plans. He took Minmin's hand and said he would take her upstairs to take a shower with her.

As he spoke, Lu Miao had already led the person to the stairwell.

Tang Mei slapped her forehead, suddenly remembered something, and called her:

"Hey, Xiaobao, I was so busy watching the kids having fun this afternoon that I forgot to tell you something."

"Hmm? What's up?"

"That little red assistant from your company called me this afternoon and asked you to call back when you have time. She probably has something to tell you."

If Yu Hong calls, it is likely that there are new arrangements between the two units.

Lu Miao frowned.

I wanted to make a phone call, but when I looked at my watch, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

It’s already this late, Yu Hong must have already finished get off work.

"knew."

Lu Miao replied calmly, temporarily giving up the idea.

I plan to call the agency again tomorrow morning to ask about the situation.

Let’s talk about Minmin again.

Minmin used to be mistreated in her hometown and was always hungry.

Not to mention being thin, he is also much shorter than his peers.

In the past six months, not only have I been able to fill my stomach, but the food at the cultural center is also very good.

After raising her slowly, the little girl has changed a little now.

Although he still didn't gain any weight, he became much fairer and his face looked better.

He seems to be a little taller.

Lu Miao looked relieved, and as he hugged Minmin upstairs, he kept laughing and murmuring to Minmin along the way:

"Have you grown taller? Auntie will measure your size later and make you winter clothes in advance."

Minmin smiled with her lips curved. Although she was shy, her smile was bright:

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Lu Miao touched the top of the little girl's head and was very pleased with Minmin's changes.

But he is usually very busy. Thinking back to the last time we met, it was about a month ago when we had a housewarming party at home.

Since the child is not always in front of him, Lu Miao can't help but worry.

I went upstairs and took Minmin to take a shower together, even though Minmin was covering herself here and there, she was very shy.

Lu Miao still looked at the little girl from head to toe, and from front to back.

Only after making sure there were no bruises from being bullied did he put his snack down slightly.

Lu Miao brought a small stool for Minmin to sit on, and then brought a slightly higher stool to sit behind Minmin.

Wetting Minmin's hair and washing it slowly, I was also teaching her:

"Pay attention to daily hygiene. These areas need to be cleaned well. Wash them every day. Do you understand?"

Minmin nodded shyly.

"Do you feel stressed when studying with your masters? How do your masters treat you?"

"Everything is good. My master is also very good... He often praises me and says that I am so independent at such a young age."

Lu Miao nodded, patted Minmin's head, and signaled Minmin to lower her head.

She took down the shower head and rinsed Minmin's head with foam, saying:

"Independence doesn't mean relying on yourself for everything. True independence means learning to leverage others' strengths. Although your uncle and aunt may not hold a high social status, they will always support you. If someone bullies you, don't be afraid. Come back and tell them, okay?"

Minmin nodded.

Minmin didn't know what was going on, but her nose suddenly felt sore.

Perhaps because she felt the feeling of being loved personally, Minmin bent down and let her aunt wash her hair. She couldn't help but quietly wipe away the hot tears that she couldn't control under the dripping water of the shower.

Her uncle and aunt are people who treat her sincerely.

She must have a bright future!

You must also be nice to your uncle and aunt!

Minmin sniffed, and suddenly said after thinking of something:

“Aunt, I think Aunt Xu on the first floor is not a good person.”

"Huh? What's wrong?"

…

When Minmin came over, Lu Miao let Minmin sleep with him at night.

She then sent Fu Jingyou to Shi An's room downstairs to stay with him for two nights.

The beds custom-made at home are very large and can easily accommodate two people.

So, Lu Miao and Minmin chatted for half the night on the second floor.

On the first floor, Fu Jingyou urged and asked Shi An about his studies, and the two of them chatted until midnight.

Minmin told Lu Miao what had happened in the living room from a single perspective.

Lu Miao thought about it carefully, and his initial opinion was consistent with Tang Mei's at that time, that this was not a big deal.

Sometimes children can be very disruptive and easily provoke adults into anger.

However, Lu Miao has always been relatively cautious when it comes to matters concerning children.

Although this matter was initially judged not to be a big deal, Lu Miao still had some ideas in his mind.

The next day was Lu Miao's day off after the holiday.

Remembering what Tang Mei said last night, Lu Miao got up early, washed, put on a small vest under his pajamas, and went downstairs directly.

I originally planned to call the company before I could make the call, but before I could make the call, I heard Wang Xiu's voice outside, saying that Yu Hong was here.

Yu Hong also had a day off today, but she still made this trip.

One of them was the Mid-Autumn Festival allowance sent to Lu Miao by the commune.

Secondly, he was afraid of delaying Lu Miao's work, so he hurried over to deliver the message.

It’s actually not a big deal.

The Ministry of Finance called and said that the director of the cotton mill was looking for Lu Miao everywhere.

After being pressured by Lu Miao last time, Director Wu of the cotton mill had no choice but to go back and fire the young man for causing trouble according to the regulations.

What was unexpected was that after the factory fired the people, Lu Miao disappeared.

Director Wu was a little confused about what Lu Miao meant.

In the past few days, Director Wu has been going to the financial department every day to beg for information about Lu Miao. He wants to ask Lu Miao what the factory should do next.
