Chapter 1186 Knowing the Interests

Time slowly passed and it was early August.

The two children who went to Tianjin for fun at that time returned home.

The two boys who returned to their hometown did not make any movement.

With the military parade approaching, personnel from relevant units came to visit at home.

One is to invite veteran military district cadres to watch the ceremony from the city wall.

Second, get vaccinated in advance.

The soldiers will be rehearsing at Tiananmen Square for a while, so there will be some movement. I hope the veterans can bear with us...

Also because of the military parade, entry and exit to northern Beijing will be strictly controlled for some time to come.

Fearing that the children would not be able to come back by then, Fu Jingyou had to call back and ask Hu Zhiyuan to make another trip and ask the children to pack up and come back quickly.

The two boys were quite obedient. Even when they first answered the phone in the county, they still wanted to communicate with their father, saying that they wanted to invite Minjie to visit their home in Jingbei while there was still more than half a month left in the holiday.

Fu Jingyou was worried that he wouldn't be able to pick them up if the station was under control, and naturally he was also worried that he wouldn't be able to send Minjie back.

This time I can only reject the children's proposal.

But at the same time, he also promised that he would bring Minjie and Minrui to visit Jingbei next summer vacation.

The children were originally feeling lost and regretful, but they immediately became excited when they heard this.

When I waved goodbye to my friends from back home at the station, I promised to take them to the horse farm to see my ponies next summer vacation...

It was also at this time that Liu Xiaozhu found a suitable place on East 40th Street, East Second Ring Road.

Fu Jingyou went to see it and thought it was okay, so he signed a three-year lease agreement with them.

In order to avoid delaying the project progress, he only transported the CNC equipment over first.

As for the other old machine tools, focus on the tasks at hand and wait and see whether to move them later.

Fu Jingyou is busy with factory affairs during the day and has to go to the new factory to guard the machine tools at night. He rarely has time to go home.

But when Fu Jingyou took the dirty clothes home to exchange for clean clothes, he keenly noticed something was wrong.

Not quite sure after just looking around the living room, Fu Jingyou turned and entered the room.

After looking at the snagged corner of the quilt spread out on the bed, he went to open the wardrobe door.

really.

Fu Jingyou lowered his brows and walked out of the room to the terrace.

"You went upstairs?"

he asked, standing on the terrace.

Wang Xiu was playing with Bai Chuan in the small courtyard downstairs.

Hearing this, Wang Xiu was stunned at first, then he reacted and quickly looked up to explain:

"No, I didn't! Brother Fu, Brother Xiaozhu just came to pick me up yesterday..."

Wang Xiu's home is in the northern suburbs of Beijing.

There is no phone at home so I can’t contact you if something happens.

Two days ago, after Lu Yuanzheng and Tang Mei came back, they specially asked Liu Xiaozhu to go and pick her up.

Let’s talk about going upstairs.

Wang Xiu knew Xu Xiangcao's style of doing things very well. If she just went upstairs, it might not be a big deal.

But she was worried that Xu Xiangcao might have taken something from the second floor?

She really needed this job, and if Xu Xiangcao really took something, she definitely couldn't take the blame.

Then Wang Xiu said:

"Before Uncle and Auntie came back, Vanilla was the only one looking after the house...Brother Fu, do you want to ask Vanilla?"

Wang Xiucai came back. If this matter was not her, then it could only be Xu Xiangcao.

Fu Jingyou frowned even deeper, but did not rush to attack.

He turned around and went into the house, then locked the door to the terrace with two clicks, preventing anyone from entering the house from the outside.

I went back to the room and hung the clothes in two rows from light to dark according to the child's mother's habit.

During this time, he found that some clothes were badly wrinkled. He wanted to try to smooth them out, but he was afraid that the calluses on his hands would scratch the fabric.

In the end, I just hung the clothes back in the closet and went downstairs along the indoor stairs.

In the lobby on the first floor, Lu Yuanzheng was sitting by the coffee table reading a newspaper, while Tang Mei was sitting not far from him, bending her head to make small shoes for a few children.

As soon as Fu Jingyou stepped onto the ground in the hall, he said:

"Aunt, Miaomiao's clothes in the closet haven't been worn for a long time. Please take some time to rinse them and take them out to dry in the sun so they don't get moldy."

"That's for sure."

Tang Mei raised her head and said jokingly:

"The weather in the north is dry, how can it be so easy to get moldy?"

Fu Jingyou didn't respond, but fiddled with the keychain, took out a spare key and placed it on the table:

"I've locked the door to the terrace. When I'm not home, I'll also lock the door to the inner staircase. Here's the key. If you and Dad want to get something from there, use this key to open the door. Remember to lock it afterward."

When Lu Yuanzheng heard this, he turned his head, as if he didn't quite understand what his son-in-law was doing.

Fu Jingyou did not hide anything and said directly:

"Miaomiao and I don't like others touching our things. Don't ask them to go up there unless necessary."

As soon as these words came out, Tang Mei stopped moving her hands immediately.

The slight smile on his face just now is gone now.

Fu Jingyou has had a hard time along the way.

He could understand how difficult it was for Wang Xiu and Xu Xiangcao to make a living outside.

Even because these two people were girls, the path they had to take might be even more demanding than his, so he suppressed his anger, grabbed some clean clothes and went to the factory.

He didn't even say anything harsh to embarrass the two girls.

He had good intentions and wanted to avoid suspicion, so he didn't plan to make a big deal out of this matter.

I thought about locking the door and having someone inside me keep the key, so that outsiders can't get into the house.

But Tang Mei didn't think so.

After thinking about Fu Jingyou's words for a moment, Tang Mei guessed what was going on without even thinking about it too much.

As soon as Fu Jingyou left, Tang Mei collected her things and went to ask Xu Xiangcao:

"Did you go upstairs when no one was home the other day?"

Xu Xiangcao originally wanted to deny it.

But after stumbling over and talking for a long time, what he finally said was completely different:

"Yes... I was hanging clothes on the terrace the other day, and I noticed a lot of dust on the floor. I was worried that my husband and Miss Lu might be uncomfortable if they suddenly came back, so I went in and mopped the floor."

This sounds fine and logically forms a closed loop, but Tang Mei still didn't relax and continued to ask with a serious face:

"Have you touched anything in the cupboard?"

“No, no!”

Xu Xiangcao blurted out, shaking her head like a rattle.

But she denied it too quickly, which was a big doubt.

Tang Mei didn't bother to suspect anything and just said directly:

"Vanilla, I've already pointed this out to you before, and I'm not afraid you'll find it harsh. When Xiaobao brought you back, she told me it was because she saw you, a young girl fleeing the war and homeless, and it was truly pitiful. You don't have to remember her 'favor,' and no one in this house wants you to remember those things all the time. But if you still want to stay here, you should abide by the rules! They have a good relationship and never like anyone to get close to them, nor do they like anyone to touch their things. You should be more understanding."
