Chapter 1037 Seeing Familiar Faces Again
Wang Xiu smiled brightly and nodded quickly.
Xu Xiangcao looked around blankly, as if she didn't quite understand what "Tiananmen" was.
Wang Xiu brought toiletries, and Lu Miao only bought toothpaste, toothbrush, and a wash cup for Xu Xiangcao.
Wang Xiu and Xu Xiangcao didn't have cups for drinking water, so Lu Miao bought one for each of them.
The department store only sold straw mats, and there was nothing I could choose from, so I had to buy this.
These things are considered initial funding.
If it is used up or broken and needs to be replaced, Wang Xiu and Xu Xiangcao will need to use their own salary to buy it.
After buying these trivial things, Lu Miao found the cake shop and told the date to order a cake.
The departments and bureaus of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and the Beijing North Hotel, which receives foreign officials, are all nearby.
There are more exotic faces here, so things related to "Western style", although not authentic, are more presentable than in other places.
Lu Miao said he wanted to order a birthday cake, and the chef in the store took out a few photos and said that he could choose patterns from them.
At that time, cakes were considered luxury goods, and there was an additional labor fee for choosing the decoration patterns.
After looking at a few photos, Lu Miao asked:
"Are all the patterns here? Only one layer?"
The baker looked at her in surprise and said with a smile:
"Cakes are all one-layer cakes, so aren't all these variations enough?"
Lu Miao shook his head and said "no", and he roughly understood it in his heart.
At this time, there seemed to be no double-layer or multi-layer cakes.
She didn't ask how much the processing fee would be, and directly chose the one with the most complicated pattern:
"I want something like this. What's the largest size you can make?"
"The largest one we can make is fourteen inches."
"Then I'll take a fourteen-inch one. Come pick it up on the morning of the 12th."
The baker was surprised:
"Comrade, a fourteen-inch cake is not small! It's not cheap either. The pattern you chose costs twenty-two yuan."
As he spoke, the baker pointed to the simple mold in the glass cabinet and said:
"Generally, families with better financial conditions would choose this kind of eight-inch one for their children's birthdays. The eight-inch size of the pattern you chose can also be made."
Lu Miao smiled and shook his head:
"That's fine. I just want a fourteen-inch one. Could you please write a few words on the cake for me?"
"Well...okay, write the content here."
Lu Miao nodded and took the paper and pen handed to him by the cake shop chef.
While she was communicating with the cake shop chef, Wang Xiu and Xu Xiangcao were watching beside her with bags of goods.
When they heard that a cake cost twenty-two yuan, Wang Xiu and Xu Xiangcao were shocked.
Later, Lu Miao paid the deposit, and Datuanjie gave it to him as soon as he said it.
Wang Xiu and Xu Xiangcao looked at each other and chose not to speak.
After finishing his business, Lu Miao would not treat himself badly. He would exchange one Mao note for three old popsicles.
She put her palms together to fan the breeze, and took Wang Xiu and Xu Xiangcao to a cool place to finish their meal. She then finished a bottle of soda outside before saying she wanted to go home.
Lu Miao spent money lavishly, and Wang Xiu and Xu Xiangcao were a little scared at first, so they didn't dare to say anything.
Later, seeing her childlike contrast, Wang Xiu and Xu Xiangcao were stunned and didn't know what to say.
Lu Miao has always been casual and does whatever he wants.
She didn't care much about what Wang Xiu and Xu Xiangcao thought.
In short, what needed to be done was done, and the fun was had. Lu Miao had no regrets and went home first.
What a coincidence.
Her eyesight was surprisingly good this time.
When three people were crossing the road and waiting for the traffic light, a Hongqi car drove slowly past the side of the road.
Lu Miao saw a familiar face inside at a glance.
Lu Miao followed the Hongqi sedan with his eyes.
The car stopped in front of the building of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
Soon someone came forward to open the door.
Min Qiaoqiao, dressed in a fashionable dress, got out of the car and walked into the Ministry of Foreign Trade like a star-studded figure...
Is it that the British Publishing House can no longer make it and has switched to foreign trade business?
A trace of doubt flashed through Lu Miao's mind.
It happened that the red light on the opposite side turned yellow briefly, and then quickly turned green again.
Wang Xiu reminded her:
"Sister Lu, the light is green."
"Um."
Lu Miao responded, looked away, and slowly followed the crowd across the street.
When we got home, we let Wang Xiu and the others clean up the house by themselves.
Lu Miao went to the inner courtyard first.
In the afternoon, Tang Mei took Wang Xiu and Xu Xiangcao to familiarize themselves with the environment and introduced the tastes of each person in the family.
The phone call at home came through, and Lu Miao gave Fu Jingyou a shopping list for the housewarming party.
When Fu Jingyou went out to buy things, she called her hometown county at home.
First, as mentioned before, tell Hu Zhiyuan about the latest work progress.
The second is for the cactus.
When Hu Zhiyuan heard that she had resumed her position as director, he was overjoyed.
Later, he heard that she wanted cactus. Although he didn't understand, Hu Zhiyuan tried his best to get it after hanging up the phone.
During this period, I also went to Dahe Village to announce the good news.
When He Hongjin heard the news, he was first delighted and relieved, and then he asked about Fu Jingyou's work situation.
Hu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, scratched the back of his head and said:
"Oh, I was so happy at the time that I forgot to ask! Uncle He, next time I get a call, I will definitely ask in detail!"
He Hongjin's face wrinkled with worry, and he pulled Hu Zhiyuan aside and asked in disbelief:
"Are you telling the truth or a lie? It doesn't matter if he hasn't found a job yet, but is there something else he's hiding from me?"
Hu Zhiyuan said quickly:
"Oh uncle, I really forgot to ask!"
Happiness was one reason, and the other was that I was only thinking about that cactus thing at that time.
Thinking of the cactus, Hu Zhiyuan quickly said:
"Uncle, speaking of which, I came here for something else. Xiaobao asked me to get some cacti and send them to her. I was thinking I'd need a box to put them in... Wood planks are hard to come by in the county. Do you think you could make a box for me?"
He Hongjin was also wondering what Lu Miao wanted the cactus for, but he nodded first:
"Yes, I can do it. How big a box do you want?"
"Uh... H-How big?"
Hu Zhiyuan was confused for a moment before he said uncertainly:
"Just make it as big as possible, according to the maximum postal specifications!"
"OK!"
He Hongjin touched the back of his head and had a rough idea in his mind.
With this interruption, He Hongjin forgot the concerns he had just had in his mind.
Hu Zhiyuan said he wanted to get a sack to get the cactus, so he hurried into the house with Chen Guifen to look for it.
Let’s talk about the Fu family in northern Beijing.
Lu Miao went for a walk in the afternoon to pick up the children, and told them on the way back.
We will also celebrate their birthdays during our housewarming party in two days.
Mingyi just asked his grandma when his birthday was two days ago, and he has been counting the days these days.
Hearing his mother say this, Mingyi immediately said:
"Mom, my sister and I's birthday is August 16th, not the 12th."
Mingxia nodded and looked at her mother.
