Chapter 621: Strict Father Style

Shi An had already realized his mistake the last time he ran away secretly.

Now Fu Jingyou's expression was serious, and Shi An realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately admitted his mistake:

"Uncle, I know I was wrong. I've already made an agreement with my aunt that I'll tell my family before I go anywhere, and I won't run around anymore."

"If you go out, tell your family and only go if they agree. If you meet someone you don't know, ignore them. If they want to talk to you, just go home immediately."

Fu Jingyou nodded, patted him on the back of the head, and pulled the three children closer:

"If someone grabs you and tells you to follow him, you must run. If you can't run, shout for help. Do you hear me?"

Dabao and Erbao were confused, only Shian looked at him and nodded.

Fu Jingyou patted Dabao and Erbao's heads lovingly, sighed helplessly, turned his gaze to Shi An, and instructed:

"You're the eldest brother, so you have to protect yourself while keeping an eye on your younger siblings."

"Hmm."

Shi An puffed out his chest and nodded seriously like a little adult, holding Dabao and Erbao's hands tightly on his left and right.

Fu Jingyou raised his chin:

"Go get a notebook and have your aunt do your homework for you. From now on, during the holidays, you can only watch TV for four hours a day."

Shi An scratched the side of his head and nodded in agreement.

He doesn't like watching TV, he only likes watching Astro Boy.

One hour a day is enough.

Shi An ran to get the notebook. Lu Miao winked at Fu Jingyou and gave him a thumbs up privately.

He has a bit of a strict father style, which is good.

Fu Jingyou seemed to understand her subtext, and slapped her on the butt with a laugh.

Just then, Lu Yuanzheng came out of the room carrying an enamel pot to pour water.

Glancing at the two people's small movements, Lu Yuanzheng frowned and coughed lightly, "Tsk" sound:

"What are you talking about? Don't you need to pay attention to the impact at home?"

“…”

Lu Miao blushed slightly in embarrassment, glared at Fu Jingyou, and led the three children into the inner room.

Fu Jingyou touched the back of his head, chuckled, and stood up to continue cutting the glutinous rice cake.

There are many ways to eat glutinous rice cakes, such as frying, baking, or boiling noodles in noodle soup.

Lu Miao had only eaten rice cakes before, and this seemed to be his first time trying glutinous rice cakes.

I tried several ways of eating it, and her favorite was half-frying it in oil and dipping it in sugar, and roasting it in a chimney stove.

The sugar in the former eliminates the greasiness of the oil, and it is sweet, chewy and slightly sticky, just like eating a rice dumpling. However, the detailed taste makes it feel a bit more chewy than a rice dumpling.

The latter is baked to a crispy surface and soft and chewy inside. It can be eaten directly or dipped in sugar.

The taste is not delicious, but it is also fragrant and delicious.

Glutinous rice is sticky and difficult to digest.

Afraid that Lu Miao would have an upset stomach when she returned home, Fu Jingyou never allowed her to eat too much, and only allowed her to eat two pieces at most each time.

In addition, there were quite a lot of glutinous rice cakes cut out, and Fu Jingyou thought of dividing them into bags and packing them.

I'll go to the Ling family for a banquet tomorrow, the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, just in time. I'll bring some for the elders who are on good terms with my family to try.

Lu Miao had no objection.

I learned this from a previous chat with Fu Jingyou: when the weather gets hot, glutinous rice cakes will turn sour and cannot be kept.

There are two large buckets of chopped glutinous rice cakes at home, and we can only eat a few pieces in one meal. If we don’t share some, they will definitely go bad.

Lu Yuanzheng didn't care much about these things. He would just take whatever Tang Mei prepared for him, regardless of whether she wanted to send it to someone or take it.

If you are not prepared, just skip it.

Naturally, he had no objection.

I thought the matter was settled, but unexpectedly, Tang Mei, who was always kind and easy to talk to, suddenly spoke:

"Just bring some to Old Ling and Principal Chen's family, forget about the Xie family."

"What's wrong?"

Lu Miao blinked and asked naively:

"Is there anyone in his family who can't eat food made from glutinous rice?"

Tang Mei was still upset and nodded with a stern look on her face.

"Yes, your aunt Yang Yun is allergic to glutinous rice. Eating it will sore her mouth."

Apart from Ling's mother, no one else knew about the conflict between Tang Mei and Yang Yun.

Lu Miao believed her when she said that, and said, "Oh!"

"Forget it, it's pretty serious if it causes mouth rot!"

She spoke seriously. Tang Mei glanced at her and couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, but soon her face turned stern again.

The little episode passed by quickly and was soon exposed by Lu Yuanzheng.

With only a few days until the Chinese New Year, state-owned barbershops will also have to close.

There is an old saying in the north. The original saying goes that if you get a haircut in the first month of the lunar year, you will miss your uncle. As it was passed on, "missing uncle" became "dead uncle".

Therefore, people generally don’t get their heads shaved in the first month of the lunar year.

If a barber shop closes before the New Year, it will have to wait until the second day of the second lunar month when the dragon raises its head to reopen.

Lu Yuanzheng called Fu Jingyou and said that he wanted to take the children to the barber shop to get a haircut before the New Year and tidy up their hair.

Lu Miao only allowed the two of them to go and did not allow them to bring their children with them.

She can't take care of adults' hair.

But a child’s hairstyle cut at a barber shop may not be as good as the one she carefully trims.

So, Lu Yuanzheng and Fu Jingyou went out to the barber shop.

Lu Miao moved chairs at home and called the three children to line up.

I worked from the biggest to the smallest, wrapped a towel around their necks, and after cutting one, I moved on to the next.

In fact, nothing much was done. Erbao just had his bangs cut into messy bangs.

Shi An and Da Bao's hair was just a little shorter.

The hairstyle has thick stubble and the ends of the hair are trimmed in a messy way, which is different from the common bald heads and crew cuts at that time.

The main feature is its energetic and cute nature.

As long as it’s not messy and doesn’t block the eyes, it’s fine.

If adults dress in a different way, they may be labeled and criticized when they go out.

Children are different.

There are not so many requirements for children.

Therefore, the things sold outside that are related to children are much more fancy than those for adults.

…

Many people get their hair cut during the last few days of the year.

Fu Jingyou and his friends left the house at around 3:00 p.m. and didn't return until almost 7:00 p.m.

It is said that there are many people queuing in front of the barber shop.

Normally they would close at around five o'clock, but when they came back today, the barber was still working overtime.

"There's not much work on weekdays, so the masters are only busy during the New Year holidays."

Fu Jingyou nodded.

That's true.

It was still early today, but Lu Miao finished his meal early and went to bed.

As Fu Jingyou spoke, he sat down on the kang, grabbed her hand and squeezed it:

"Are you feeling unwell or are you sleepy?"

“Neither.”

Lu Miao shook his head, and said gently with a smile on his face:

"I just suddenly felt a little cold sitting outside, and it would be warmer to come inside."

Fu Jingyou opened the stove door and added two more coal balls:

"You sit down and read for a while. I'll go eat. I'll come back to accompany you after I finish washing up."

"good."

Just do what Fu Jingyou says.

After finishing the meal in a few bites, I got some hot water and went back to my room to wash up.

While he was taking a bath, Lu Miao kept looking at him with a smile in his eyes.

Fu Jingyou felt itchy when he saw her.

He threw the towel into the basin, sat on the edge of the kang, leaned over and bit her soft lips.
