Chapter 1020: Return Quickly
There is a lot of work to do in the fields this season.
The young and strong laborers all went to work in the fields.
Most of those busy in the orchard are weak laborers who are old or have certain physical disabilities.
Lu Miao mingled with them and sometimes helped out to the best of his ability.
Sometimes I would take my camera with me on a whim and take a few pictures of the fruit trees or busy people.
The garden is cleaned regularly to prevent weeds from competing with fruit trees for nutrients, so there is no danger.
Generally speaking, Lu Miao would just let Bai Chuan run around and play.
Baichuan is naughty. He always catches a bug here and pokes an ant nest there.
He didn't eat the washed peaches and plums he brought with him. Instead, when he occasionally encountered a branch bent by the fruits, he would stand on tiptoe, stretch his neck, and find the fruits to eat one by one.
That little mouth is even more powerful than those of tits.
Lu Miao felt embarrassed from time to time.
He picked the fruit with the small tooth marks, declined it despite everyone's teasing, and paid the villagers several cents as compensation.
The boy is naughty and fierce when he is awake, but very obedient when he is asleep.
Lu Miao put a coat in the basket under the shade of the tree and put Bai Chuan in it. Bai Chuan was able to sleep soundly for two or three hours...
Time slowly passed and soon it was early July.
The watermelons that He Hongjin had previously not allowed to be picked in the corner of the vegetable garden have also entered the picking season.
Lu Miao dislikes going out because of the heavy dew in the morning.
I always go there around noon or in the afternoon when the sun is about to set.
Of course, every time he turns around, there are always two "tails" behind him, one big and one small.
But when it comes to watermelon, Lu Miao thinks of Shi An.
Shi An doesn't eat watermelon, but counting the days, Shi An's birthday is in the middle of the month.
Lu Miao pretended to be an expert at selecting watermelons and picked a watermelon and handed it to Fu Jingyou.
In the more than one month since she came back, she brought up the topic of her return date for the first time:
"Shi'an's birthday is in the middle of the month. Should we go back before then? Or should we stay a little longer?"
Fu Jingyou took the watermelon and patted it. It felt a little raw, so he patted the watermelons along the vine and picked another one.
He held a melon in each hand, raised his chin, and walked in front of his wife and children, saying:
"I've been back for a while now. Do you want to go back? If you want to go back, you can always buy a ticket."
"Um……"
Lu Miao nodded, and after a moment's consideration, he said:
"Let's go back. We haven't known what's going on in the factory yard for so long. Besides, I want to do some experiments to see if those cochineal scabs can still be used..."
Speaking of this, Lu Miao thought about it for a moment and suddenly realized that there were still quite a lot of things in the last two months.
First, the children are about to have summer vacation.
The second is the yard on the South Street side.
After so long, the paint smell should have dissipated almost completely...
This time when I go back, I also have to consider moving.
I'm going to attend Geng Xiaoyun's wedding in August. Gu Ying should be giving birth around the same time, and there will be a full-moon banquet then...
Lu Miao knows a lot of people, but his social circle is really small.
But even in such a small circle, there are still a lot of things to happen.
She sighed slightly, and Fu Jingyou responded:
"I'll talk to my uncle and aunt tonight and go to the county to check the tickets tomorrow."
Lu Miao nodded, but turned back to look at him and said:
"You don't have to rush to leave. You can plan your trip and stay a few days longer."
"Well, let's go check tomorrow. We may not be able to buy a last-minute ticket."
"good."
The couple reached a consensus and took a walk while the child walked back.
It sounded good at first, but after dinner, in the dim light of evening, when Fu Jingyou and He Hongjin were threshing rice in the threshing ground beside the house, they heard the clanging sound of a bicycle approaching quickly from a distance.
I turned around and saw that it was Hu Zhiyuan coming over.
"Little Brother Fu!"
When Hu Zhiyuan saw Fu Jingyou, he started shouting from a distance.
Fu Jingyou dusted himself off, stepped out of the threshing floor, and asked:
"What's wrong? Why are you here at this hour?"
Hu Zhiyuan jumped off his bicycle at the bottom of the slope with a dry throat.
After casually setting up his bicycle, he took out an envelope from his bag and panted:
"I should have come this afternoon, but I've been waiting for this telegram and it's been delayed until now! Where's Xiaobao? Brother Xiaofu, tell Jingbei to tell her to come back quickly!"
He Hongjin heard the noise and hurriedly dropped the rice ears in his hand and walked over:
"What's the news from Jingbei? Xiaoliu, did something happen?"
Fu Jingyou frowned slightly and shook his head.
While Lu Miao was taking a shower in the room, he took out the telegram from the envelope and looked at it.
Not only is the charge for sending a telegram per word, but the number of words is also linked to the transmission efficiency and accuracy.
Therefore, when sending a telegram, it is generally required to refine the content and simplify it again and again.
This telegram, sent from Beijing, contained only two lines and five words:
Comrade Yu.
Come back soon.
This telegram was translated by comrades in the county.
Others may not understand it, but Fu Jingyou can figure out the whole story at a glance.
Yu Hong was Lu Miao's former assistant at the British News Agency.
After Lu Miao resigned, Yu Hong often came to his home to deliver news.
If they told him to go back quickly now, it must be because the British News Agency had sent news that Lu Miao's reinstatement was confirmed...
Hu Zhiyuan panted for a long time, then calmed down a bit and said:
"I received a call this afternoon. I guess there's something special going on in Jingbei. Uncle Lu didn't want to say it directly, and he was worried that I wouldn't be able to pass on the information properly, so he asked me to wait until this telegram arrives before coming over."
Hu Zhiyuan took a breath, scratched his head and asked:
"Xiaofu brother, what happened? Is it serious?"
The telegram envelope is ready.
Hu Zhiyuan definitely didn't mean to read the contents of the telegram, but after just a glance...
In short, Hu Zhiyuan saw it, but didn't understand its meaning at all.
Fu Jingyou shook his head slightly, quickly put the telegram back into the envelope and said:
"Nothing, it's just that Miaomiao may have new arrangements at work."
"ah?"
Hu Zhiyuan was a little confused.
Didn't you say you all resigned?
Why are there any work arrangements?
Fu Jingyou didn't look at him again, but looked at He Hongjin.
"Uncle."
As Fu Jingyou and He Hongjin walked towards the door, they said:
"Miaomiao and I originally agreed to stay in our hometown for a few more days, but now it seems we have to leave in the next two days."
He Hongjin frowned, and nodded with a worried look on his face.
"Is it really about work, or something else? Is it serious?"
"It's just work."
Fu Jingyou handed him the telegram and asked him to give it to Lu Miao later:
"Didn't I tell you last time? Miaomiao's superiors have been working on this matter, and they should be letting her go back now that there's some progress... When Miaomiao comes out later, tell her to pack her things. I'll go to the county to check for tickets first."
