What does Chapter 989 have to do with me?

Not only did he have a high starting point, but Lu Miao had put in a lot of effort in advance, and Master Dong had indeed taught him with all his heart.

Minmin is small and has very limited education, so when Master Dong is busy, he asks her to watch from the side.

Whenever Master Dong has free time, he will teach her the theory and also teach her to read.

Occasionally, I would take her to identify the year, material, etc. of things through visual means relying on some details.

But Minmin is young after all and has just arrived in the city, so Lu Miao is a little worried.

This time I came here to check on Minmin's condition with Gu Ying.

Seeing that Minmin was fine and her expression was more stable and calm than before, Lu Miao felt relieved.

After taking half a day off from the Cultural Center, Lu Miao went shopping and strolling along the way. He took Minmin with him and bought some seasonal clothes.

"Put your changed clothes in this place first. I'll come visit you in a few days and take them home, wash them, and then bring them back to you."

Lu Miao gave instructions along the street, and Minmin nodded obediently.

At noon, they came across a newly opened western-style restaurant. When the three of them sat down to try the new food, Lu Miao looked at Gu Ying's stomach and asked:

"Have you been to the hospital recently? If you can spare some time during your rest time, go and have a checkup, or maybe even a physical exam."

Gu Ying touched her belly and said with a smile:

"I went there just last week. The doctor took an ultrasound and said everything was normal."

Lu Miao nodded:

"That's good."

Gu Ying has been pregnant for more than five months, but her pregnancy is not very obvious yet.

It wasn't even noticeable a while ago.

The weather has been warm these days, so she doesn't need to wear a thick cotton jacket anymore, so you can see a little curve of her abdomen.

Lu Miao was a little worried at first, but when he heard that she had an ultrasound and the doctor said there was no problem, he felt relieved.

Some pregnant women do experience this.

The pregnancy belly is not obvious in the early stage, but after a certain month, the belly becomes like a balloon.

It seemed to have grown bigger in the blink of an eye...

Lu Miao ordered a few desserts, one for her and one for Gu Ying, and the rest were placed in front of Minmin.

Patting Minmin's head and letting her eat slowly, Lu Miao started chatting with Gu Ying about other things.

For example, whether she feels tired at work now, or how Xie Fei is doing with his postgraduate entrance exam.

"I'm fine. You guys live close by, so I can help you with anything."

Gu Ying was smiling at first, but when she talked about Xie Fei, her smile faded a little and she sighed, "Before, when he came home from get off work, he used to read a few books. Now that I can see a little bit of my belly, he has stopped reading..."

In the past, Xie Fei always kept himself out of things, so he didn't feel anything.

But it’s different now. Xie Fei has Gu Ying in his heart and he also has a family.

Considering the employment prospects after taking the postgraduate entrance examination, even if you directly participate in the project, you will inevitably have to travel around the country.

Xie Fei actually already had a choice in his mind.

Especially since Gu Ying is pregnant, she needs someone by her side.

Once the child is born, you will become even more dependent on others.

Xie Fei would not be willing to leave home.

Giving up the postgraduate entrance examination is inevitable.

Lu Miao understood Xie Fei after a little thought.

She patted Gu Ying to comfort her:

"Xie Fei's current job is not bad. With Uncle Xie around, he has a lot of room for promotion in the future... You shouldn't worry too much and respect his choice. It's enough for him to know what he wants."

Gu Ying nodded and smiled reluctantly, still feeling a little uneasy.

Lu Miao had no choice but to bring up the recent soap-making incident to divert her attention.

Gu Ying said with a smile:

"I know about this. I met Mei Zi in the alley the day before yesterday, and she told me about it."

Lu Miao shook his head and laughed:

"I knew it wouldn't be possible to hide it from her."

Gu Ying hummed and laughed even more brightly because she was amused.

Lu Miao told her that he would send her some once the testing qualification certificate came down and confirmed that there was no problem.

Gu Ying smiled and nodded in agreement.

After dinner, I walked around for a while.

After all, Gu Ying is a pregnant woman and has limited physical strength.

Seeing that she looked tired, Lu Miao told her to go back.

But when we sent Minmin back to the cultural center, the little girl's eyes were red and she kept looking back, looking very reluctant to leave.

Lu Miao felt heavy in his heart and waved his hand to call the little girl back over.

She hugged Minmin and promised:

"When we move into our new home, Auntie will take you back to live with us, okay?"

Although Minmin is already thirteen years old, she is thin and small, and does not look like she is even thirteen years old.

If there were no conditions for pick-up and drop-off now, Lu Miao really would not arrange for such a small number of people to live in the dormitory.

Let's move into the new house later...

The new house is big, so we will definitely gradually add family assistants such as nannies and drivers.

Then I can take Minmin back to live with me.

Minmin wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. Her eyelashes were wet, but she said sensibly:

"Aunt, I'm doing well here. I live alone in the dormitory, and my master takes care of me when I eat. I have meat for every meal, especially big pieces of meat. It's so good!"

How could a little girl not want to be with the people she is close to?

But I'm also afraid of bothering my uncle and aunt...

Lu Miao saw through Minmin's understanding and strength, but did not point it out.

He just touched Minmin's blushing little face and told her to study hard.

Minmin nodded seriously, waved and trotted into the cultural center.

Lu Miao sighed, turned around and smiled at Gu Ying again:

"Let's go!"

"Um."

The two chatted and laughed as they took the bus home.

When they got home, Fu Jingyou and Xie Fei hadn't returned yet, so Lu Miao didn't let Gu Ying go back:

"You'll be home alone if you go back now. Cooking for two people isn't difficult, but it's also troublesome, isn't it? Let's just eat here today!"

Tang Mei also advised:

"They'll definitely come straight here after fishing. You can wait here. It'll be more lively!"

Gu Ying didn't refuse.

Lu Miao made some tea, and Gu Ying went to the main room with Lu Miao and Bai Chuan to drink tea and watch TV.

It happened to be the time when people in the factory yard were getting off work.

Not long after Lu Miao sat down, the gate of his house was knocked.

Lin Xian came over and said she wanted to take a day off.

Lin Xian followed Lu Miao for a long time.

In the past, she had been running the store alone and had worked non-stop without taking any leave. This time she suddenly asked for leave, so there must be some special circumstances.

Lu Miao didn't ask her too much about her personal situation. He just nodded and let her get busy. Worried that one day off was not enough for her, he said he would give her a few more days.

Lin Xian waved her hands quickly:

"Sister Lu, one day is enough. I'll be back the next day!"

Lin Xian insisted, so Lu Miao didn't say much. He just told her to see how the situation was. If she was too busy, it would be okay to come back later.

Not long after seeing Lin Xian off, there was another knock on the gate.

Only Fu Jingyou and a few others came back this time.

But unlike the clean and tidy appearance when they went out, both of them were half dry and half wet, and their trouser legs were covered in mud.

Lu Miao frowned and said "tsk". Fu Jingyou seemed to know what she wanted to say. He walked into the yard carrying a metal bucket and said:

"It's all Xie Fei's fault."

“…”

Xie Fei, who followed in from behind, had a rare look of indignation on his face:

"What does it have to do with me? Is it all Chen Xiangdong's fault?"
