Chapter 1008 What are the shortcomings
Maybe good people are running in both directions.
So we can go a long way together...
As time went by, at the end of May, the South Street Courtyard construction team completed the work.
Lu Miao went over to inspect it and after confirming that there were no problems, he and Fu Jingyou went there frequently afterwards.
The house is almost ready.
It just needs to get rid of the paint smell, and then it can be cleaned up carefully when you move in later.
Another thing is the garden.
The garden was divided into several sections by the walls, and Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou planned to renovate it slowly.
Slowly fill in the front and create some beautiful scenery.
It's not as convenient to buy groceries around here as it is in Qingta Hutong.
Going further in, there is an area at the back where few outsiders come in. You can choose a few sunny spots to start two small vegetable plots.
After you move in, you can grow whatever you like to eat without having to go out all the time.
Just do it when you think of it.
Since there were no good flower seeds to be found outside, Lu Miao brought the gardenias grown in water in the courtyard of Qingta Hutong.
Choose a corner you like and plant a few plants.
Fu Jingyou said that the crabapple and magnolia flowers in northern Beijing were beautiful in spring, so he asked around and bought a few, which he planted in several corners of the garden.
In addition, there are small-leaf red maple and osmanthus trees.
Several common fruit trees such as pomegranate trees and peach trees were also planted.
They were tinkering with it carefully, and Lu Yuanzheng and Tang Mei also came over to take a look.
The courtyard is spacious and elegant, and every detail is perfect.
Even Tang Mei would go into the room and look, and she would always say that the wall was empty.
Lu Yuanzheng walked around the house a few times and didn't think anything of it at first.
After hearing what Tang Mei said, when I went into the house again, I felt that it seemed a bit empty.
It always makes me feel like something is missing...
Tang Mei said:
"I think buying a larger portrait of the Chairman to hang up here would be enough, right?"
Lu Yuanzheng nodded and thought it was feasible.
But the hall is long and spacious, and even the portrait of the Chairman is empty.
Lu Yuanzheng pondered for a long time. When the family drove back to Qingta Hutong, he finally came up with an idea:
"You two should keep your time free on Saturday."
Lu Yuanzheng glanced at the young couple in the back seat through the rearview mirror, then looked at Tang Mei beside him and said:
"The same to you."
"what?"
Lu Miao was puzzled: "Who posted this again?"
"No one's posted anything yet. I see the living room over there is bright and spacious, so I thought a family portrait would be perfect to hang on the wall."
Lu Yuanzheng's voice rarely showed a hint of smile as he continued:
"Give the kids a day off this Saturday. Instead of going to the Children's Palace, let's get our family together and go to the photo studio to take some pictures."
"That's a good arrangement."
Before Lu Miao could say anything, Fu Jingyou expressed his opinion first.
Fu Jingyou added his suggestion:
"I'll have the photos developed in a larger size and framed in a better frame."
"That's what I mean!"
Lu Miao and Tang Mei had no objections, so they didn't interrupt much.
The two men, who usually don't talk much, are chatting animatedly at this moment.
When it comes to taking family photos, as soon as we get home, the family starts preparing to varying degrees.
On Saturday, Fu Jingyou drove his family of eight to the photo studio in two trips.
During this time, when I walked out of the house and passed through the alley, the neighbors in the alley stretched their necks and looked at me secretly.
Neighbors are thinking:
This family wore some Zhongshan suits, some skirts and some cheongsams.
What is the purpose of such a grand ceremony?
When they were taking the family photo and were about to go home, Lu Miao suddenly remembered something.
I didn’t bring Minmin with me this time!
But after thinking about it, Lu Miao felt relieved.
Minmin had just arrived in Jingbei and hadn't stayed with Lu Yuanzheng and Tang Mei for long.
In terms of feelings, it is definitely not as deep as the one between the elders and Shi An.
If you have to say it, in the minds of the two elders, Minmin is probably still an outsider.
Pulling Minmin over here is also a bit inappropriate...
He asked Fu Jingyou to send Lu Yuanzheng and Tang Mei back first. When Fu Jingyou came back, Lu Miao asked him to go and pick up Minmin alone.
It seemed a bit awkward to take a family photo with Minmin, Lu Yuanzheng and Tang Mei.
But I can bring Minmin with them to take a family photo.
Lu Miao made such arrangements. When Minmin came over, she sat upright on the chair with Bai Chuan and Fu Jingyou in her arms.
Mingxia and Minmin stood obediently on both sides, one on the left and one on the right.
Shi An and Ming Yi stood between their parents' shoulders behind the chairs.
"Hey, okay! Smile~"
Following the photographer's words, a flash of white light appeared.
A picture of a family of seven, all curling their lips and baring their white teeth.
This moment is recorded forever.
Around this time, Lu Miao also received a letter from Geng Xiaoyun.
Geng Xiaoyun mentioned in the letter that after her younger brother Geng Junhao got married last year, she, as the older sister, would also be getting married in August this year.
This letter serves as an advance greeting.
Make an appointment with Lu Miao and invite them to come over and play. It would be best if they bring the children along.
Lu Miao held the letter and handed it to Fu Jingyou:
"Will you go with me then?"
The handwriting on the letter, emphasizing that "you must be there", takes up a large part of the letter.
Anyone who sees it would be embarrassed to refuse.
Fu Jingyou finished reading and nodded softly:
"Free up some time then."
"Hmm~"
Now I have started a small business and it is easy to arrange my time.
and……
She and her friend Geng Xiaoyun had indeed not seen each other for several years.
Lu Miao smiled and nodded, went into the room, put a book on the small kang table, took out a piece of letter paper and wrote a reply to Geng Xiaoyun.
She was busy writing a letter when Fu Jingyou followed her into the room, closed the door, and sat down beside her.
"Miaomiao."
"Um?"
Lu Miao tilted his head to look at him, and continued to summarize the wording of his reply:
"What's the matter? Why are you hesitant to speak?"
"without."
Fu Jingyou shook his head slightly and thought for a while before saying:
"I've almost finished dealing with things in northern Beijing. I have nothing else to do right now, so I plan to go back south."
Lu Miao paused for a moment, frowned, and looked at him with confusion.
"It's only been a short time since you came back for the Chinese New Year, why are you suddenly thinking about going back?"
"I've been resting for a while, and it's almost time to think about work."
Fu Jingyou's deep eyes were gentle, and he brushed the hair on the side of her face and said:
"Beijing is far from my hometown. Now that I've started working, I probably won't be able to go back during the New Year holiday. I thought it would be a good time to go back."
June is almost here and it is Grain in Ear, so the work in the village will gradually increase.
He went back and picked up some things, which was a good opportunity for him to help the old couple.
When I come back to Beijing, I have to devote myself to work.
Lu Miao nodded.
After thinking for a while, she put down her pen, turned around, and held Fu Jingyou's left thumb and little finger in her hands, playing with them:
"I'll go back with you and take Baichuan with me."
