Chapter 1013 Cochineal
When his uncle and aunt came back, Minjie was so happy that he cried all the way.
The egrets and wild ducks in the paddy fields below the hillside were startled and flew away in groups.
Dinner was cooked at the Fu family's house. Since no one was at the He family, Fu Jingyou took the two children directly to the Fu family's house.
Many people came, standing or sitting under the jujube tree in front of the house. Many of them had prepared dinner at home and came over with their bowls and chopsticks, chatting while eating.
Minjie got out of the car and put Minrui on the ground. He ran into the house as if he knew the way and got some water to drink. Then he ran around looking for his aunt.
Baichuan was still asleep, but Lu Miao had already woken up.
Minjie surrounded her and called her "Auntie" all the time. Tian Guihua laughed and joked beside her:
"Look at this, look at this! If someone else didn't know about this, they would think he was your son!"
Lu Miao burst out laughing, touched Minjie's head and said:
"Go wash your hands first."
Finally, he asked:
"Where's Minute? Didn't he come over?"
"Coming."
Minjie pressed the water to wash his hands and said in a high voice:
"We came here directly from school with my uncle."
As they were talking, someone in front heard the sound and came over. Seeing Tian Guihua, he shouted:
"Second mother!"
Minrui hugged Tian Guihua's thigh and was about to get into her arms.
Tian Guihua also took the opportunity to pick up Minrui.
Seeing Lu Miao looking at her, Tian Guihua smiled and explained helplessly;
"His mother used to raise him so spoiled that he couldn't adapt after leaving his mother. Normally, I was the one who took care of him, so he started calling me second mother."
Lu Miao nodded and said in understanding:
"The grace of birth and raising is as great as that of children. They become close to whoever they spend more time with."
Tian Guihua nodded, wiped the snot from Minrui's crying nose and asked:
"What's wrong? Did the teacher scold you again for being disobedient? Or did your brother hit you again?"
Minrui shook his head at first, but then he couldn't hold it in any longer and started crying out of grievance.
"Second Mom, let's go home and not stay here!"
Minrui cried and wanted to go back to the He family. Tian Guihua asked for a long time but couldn't find out the reason.
Perhaps Lu Miao had thought of something, and said,
"Do you still remember that Brother You scolded him during the New Year? Are you afraid of Brother You?"
Fu Jingyou heard Lu Miao calling him and came over:
"What's wrong?"
Lu Miaochong raised his chin sharply.
Fu Jingyou looked over.
Minrui was howling just now, but he stopped in an instant, turned his face away, and lay on the side of Tian Guihua's neck, whimpering softly.
...That’s true.
Lu Miao quickly pushed Fu Jingyou out of the kitchen.
Tian Guihua coaxed Minrui while smiling helplessly and jokingly said:
"You still have someone you're afraid of? You don't listen to me, and even when your grandfather beats you, you don't seem to be afraid of him."
Lu Miao laughed when he heard that, and went to the front to get Bai Chuan's toys to appease Minrui.
Lu Miao was not as fierce as Minrui. Minrui was afraid of Fu Jingyou, but not her.
After coaxing Minrui with gentle words for a while, Tian Guihua moved a small table to the backyard while it was still bright outside and let the two children do their homework together.
While the children were doing their homework, Lu Miao and Tian Guihua were washing vegetables by the well.
The two sisters-in-law chatted while they were busy:
"How's Minute? Is it easy to carry?"
"He's a little naughty, but he's easy to take care of. After all, he's young, and I can teach him slowly and he'll be fine."
Lu Miao nodded.
A child’s acquired upbringing is very important. With good guidance, there shouldn’t be any problems.
Tian Guihua started cooking, and Chen Guifen, who was chatting with someone in front, came in to help.
Lu Miao watched the children doing their homework in the backyard for a while, then went to the front room to clean up and called Baichuan to get up.
It’s time for dinner soon, get up and wake up.
This also prevents you from sleeping too much in the afternoon and not being able to sleep well at night.
There was no cafeteria in the team’s school, so the two children had to bring their own meals from home. In the mornings when they left home, Tian Guihua or Chen Guifen would get up early and prepare them for them.
During this period, all meals were cooked at the Fu family's house. After dinner, Chen Guifen suggested that the two children stay here so that it would be convenient to cook and bring lunch the next morning.
Minjie is definitely willing to do it, but Minrui is not.
Minrui was afraid of Fu Jingyou, hiding from him when walking, and shouting that she wanted to go home after dinner.
Usually Minjie carries the lunch box, so Chen Guifen asks He Hongjin to take Minrui back to sleep at night.
Only by leaving Minjie here alone did the matter settle down.
The two children usually walk to and from school.
Fu Jingyou is back and has nothing to do, so he definitely can't just watch the children go alone.
When Minjie gets up in the morning, Fu Jingyou will get up too when he hears the noise.
By the time Minjie packed his lunch box, he was already waiting outside the door pushing his bicycle.
The day after Fu Jingyou returned, he started working in the fields with He Hongjin.
This time when Baichuan came back, he didn't feel so unfamiliar with his grandfather.
After hanging around for two days and getting more familiar with the place, Grandpa and Dad went to work in the fields, and the little guy started clamoring to go too.
Lu Miao didn't stop him.
I used to stay at home most of the time in Beijing, so it would be nice to come back and have some fun.
Otherwise, Lu Miao would worry that the child might become dull.
The reason I brought Baichuan back this time was, on the one hand, because the old couple missed their child, and on the other hand, it was for this reason.
Let’s talk about Lu Miao separately.
I came back to rest for two days to recover my energy. There was someone to take care of the children, cook the meals, and even wash my clothes.
Lu Miao doesn't have to do any work, and he can't get any work done.
In line with what Fu Jingyou said to He Hongjin, he came back this time to take the opportunity to rest.
But she was the only one who was resting.
It’s okay to rest for a day or two, but if he really has to sit idle every day and do nothing, Lu Miao can’t stay like that.
So, when I went to the vegetable garden with Tian Guihua to pick vegetables, I saw along the way that although the mulberry trees had small green mulberries, the mulberry leaves were also growing well.
Lu Miao began to have some ideas.
I went home and cleared out two bamboo sieves, and asked Chen Guifen for some silkworm eggs to raise for fun.
Lu Miao actually had something else to do when he came back this time.
The temperature is just right to stay at home this season. The silkworm eggs hatched on Saturday and Sunday, and Tianzao came to visit with her children.
Lu Miao asked someone to pour tea for him, and after the greetings, he asked:
"There are so many families in this team. Have you ever seen anyone with a cactus?"
Tianzao said, "Cacti can grow anywhere. I haven't seen anyone planting them seriously. But one of my sister-in-law's houses has a patch of them growing on the bank where they dump winnowing baskets... Sister-in-law, why are you asking about cacti?"
Lu Miao answered truthfully:
"I'm looking for something."
The place where the dustpan is placed is actually the place where you throw away the garbage after sweeping the floor at home.
If that place really exists, it might not be that clean...
Lu Miao sighed and frowned in confusion.
Tianzao put his one-and-a-half-year-old son on the ground and let him play by himself. He asked in confusion:
"Sister-in-law, what are you looking for? I know this village better than you do. I can help you look for it."
Lu Miao nodded and said without hiding anything:
"I'm looking for a bug called 'cochineal.' It's called a bug, but at first glance it probably looks more like white mold. It usually parasitizes on cacti."
