Chapter 973 You Don’t Understand

Chen Guifen's two jackets were also altered.

Although it was altered in a hurry and the seams were a bit crooked, it at least fit Minmin well.

Lu Miao let out a "huh" and carried Minmin to the bed.

I took out the sweater I bought for Minmin.

Minmin put on the sweater, only the cuffs and trouser legs were a little long, the rest was fine.

It's a little loose, but you can wear it by tucking the hem into your pants.

She was indeed about the same height as Shi An, so Tian Guihua gave her the military coat that Lu Miao bought for Minjie.

Lu Miao took a pair of Shi An's pants and put them on her first.

Children don’t care about their outfits, but after putting on this outfit, Minmin looks clean and pretty.

Lu Miao took a careful look and found that the scar where Minmin had hit her nose when she was a child had faded a lot.

I thought it shouldn't be that serious. As I grow older, it will probably get lighter.

Minmin is not very tall, but her feet are size 36, almost catching up with Lu Miao.

Lu Miao found a pair of cotton shoes that Minmin rarely wore at home and asked her to wear them.

Chen Guifen looked at Minmin's neat and tidy appearance and didn't dare to recognize her for a long time.

But after looking for a while, Chen Guifen covered half of her face and turned her head to look elsewhere.

The mother treated her daughter like a beast and asked someone else to raise the child like a human being.

There is no such thing as treating people so cruelly. How could Zhao Lanxiang be so cruel?

The attention of several women was on Minmin.

On the other side, several men, young and old, in the family were chatting while cleaning the gutter on the side of the house.

Before, they only talked about Lu Miao's work, but now He Hongjin asked about Fu Jingyou.

"How's your work going? I only heard you talk about that stubborn girl, but I didn't hear you talk about yourself. How's the factory? Is it easy to work here?"

“…”

Fu Jingyou rubbed the back of his head with his hands and sighed calmly.

After a brief pause, he picked up the shovel again and worked for a while before saying:

"It's not easy anymore."

He Hongjin and He Erge looked at each other, and at the same time they stopped and looked at Fu Jingyou with their shovels:

"Why is it so difficult? What's the problem?"

Fu Jingyou said sullenly:

"Even if I tell you, you won't understand."

Work matters are indeed annoying, but it’s not that Fu Jingyou is unwilling to explain.

This matter really cannot be explained in just a few words.

He simply confessed directly:

"I don't think I'll be able to hold this job for long. I just regret not having this position of 'Director'. If I could hold a higher title, it would save a lot of trouble for my family."

He Hongjin thought silently.

He Erge shoveled a shovel of dirt and shook it aside, then asked:

"You've been to college. If you can't work in this company anymore, will you be able to find a job in the future?"

Fu Jingyou nodded:

"It's still easy to find jobs for skilled workers."

He Hongjin interrupted:

"Just find a job. Don't just focus on the watermelon and ignore the sesame seeds in your hand. After the easy job, there will be even easier job. There will never be an end..."

He Hongjin muttered:

"It's a shame that I can't become that director, but it's not worth saying anything more about. Being steady and down-to-earth is what matters most."

He Erge nodded:

"That's the truth."

Fu Jingyou responded solemnly.

He naturally understood it.

Sometimes it’s really difficult to make a choice.

He Hongjin and Chen Guifen stayed here until after two o'clock, then took Minmin back home.

After returning home to clean up, it’s almost time to prepare paste, paste couplets, and prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Lu Miao originally said that he would let Minmin stay here to play for a while and send her back later.

Minmin refused, and Chen Guifen was also afraid that Zhao Lanxiang would come back soon.

If something happens again, we will be unhappy on New Year's Eve and feel uncomfortable. He also said that he would take Minmin back.

Lu Miao didn't say anything else.

After watching the two old people and one child walk away, Lu Miao clapped his hands while the sun was still out and took the children to play "Eagle Catches Chicken" in front of the door.

After a while of commotion, the family started to put up couplets and window decorations.

It’s lively when there are many children, not to mention that He Erge and Tian Guihua are here for the New Year this year.

When there are too many people, everything they do becomes noisy.

In the afternoon, we took family photos of the two families and also of the entire family.

Of course, I have to take a few photos during the New Year’s Eve dinner at night.

After dinner, Fu Jingyou stayed up all night to celebrate the New Year. He dug out all the old wooden boards that had been replaced during the renovation of the house.

He Erge and I stepped on the pedal together and divided it into small sections, then built a bonfire in front of the door.

Fu Jingyou and He Erge still had a childish heart. They dug a small hole in the fire and stewed some sweet potatoes in it.

Afterwards, he took the children to set off fireworks and rockets.

It wasn't cold sitting around the fire. Lu Miao and Tian Guihua were standing beside them, watching with their arms around each other and smiling.

This year's Spring Festival has an especially strong festive atmosphere.

…

Lu Miao said that in the next few days, some people from the county might come to pay New Year's greetings, and they would have to stay at home for dinner.

So the next day, New Year's Day, Tian Guihua and He Erge got up early in the morning to get busy.

People who come to pay New Year’s greetings come quickly and leave quickly, so if you invite them to dinner, the food must be served quickly.

Pork is ready at home.

Tian Guihua helped out and cut a large bowl of shredded pork and marinated it with green onions and soy sauce.

He also took some flour and rolled out a lot of hand-rolled noodles.

The family members got up one after another and had breakfast first.

Later, if someone from the county came, they would just grab a handful of noodles and put some shredded meat into the pot, and then cook it quickly over a fire.

Lu Miao saw this while washing dishes, and Okita Osmanthus said with a smile:

"Fortunately, I was thoughtful enough to ask my second sister-in-law to come live with me in advance. Otherwise, how could I have managed to get here by myself?"

Tian Guihua looked at her angrily and said with a smile:

"You can just keep it to yourself, why would you tell it out loud?"

Lu Miao laughed out loud, and Tian Guihua also laughed.

In front, Fu Jingyou and He Erge were separated into different classes, one went out to pay New Year's greetings, and the other stayed at home to help set off firecrackers.

After finishing a round of worship, the two will switch.

When Fu Jingyou visited Zaohua's house to pay New Year's greetings, Yu Hao went out to set off firecrackers.

Fu Jingyou had a cigarette in his mouth, and when Da Hao returned to the house, he handed him one.

Yu Hao doesn't smoke, but he couldn't refuse the offer, so he took the cigarette and took a puff from the lighter that Fu Jingyou handed to him.

The two men stood in the main room, smoking and chatting about their recent situation.

Teacher Yu Hao did a solid job and his salary increased by a few yuan compared to before.

At the end of October last year, Zaohua became pregnant again.

Everything is moving in the right direction and the situation is still good.

Fu Jingyou listened and nodded. It happened that other people came to pay New Year's greetings, so he looked at the time and decided not to stay long.

He rummaged in his pockets and pulled out a small red paper bag, stuffed it into Yu Hao's pocket, and walked out.

"It's for the child, keep it."

"Hey, hey this... Brother Xiaoliu!"

Yu Hao couldn't catch up in time, and someone else came to his house, so he had to go back to pour tea and set off firecrackers.
