Chapter 1061 Good Mother
Lu Miao glanced at Minister Zhan's office, gesturing back and forth with his hands, not knowing what "polite" meant.
"?"
Minister Zhan had a question mark on his head, and his face was wrinkled with embarrassment and confusion.
Suddenly I didn't know what expression to use to face this young girl in front of me.
This scene is like what Minister Zhan said:
I'm here to protect you, so don't be afraid and don't be polite!
Lu Miao followed up with:
Okay Minister, I’m not afraid and I’m not polite!
The kind of tone that is honest and genuine.
Minister Zhan scratched his head, confused for only a moment.
"No, Xiao Lu, I, I do have a way to apply, but, but this matter is not what you think, it's not that simple!"
"Oh, Minister, I know you must be in a difficult situation, but can you give it a try first? What if it works?"
Lu Miao clasped his hands together, looking like a younger generation who was acting like a spoiled child and asking for favors from his elders.
What else can I do except take good care of the person I brought up?
Minister Zhan was so frustrated by Lu Miao that he could only sigh and say:
"Okay, I'll give it a try first... You should think about it carefully when you get home. I really can't guarantee you this."
Minister Zhan spoke with great sincerity.
Lu Miao also understood the difficulty of this matter, so he nodded quickly and said:
"I know, Minister. Thank you for all your hard work on this matter. I will definitely think about it more when I get back."
Minister Zhan nodded slightly with a worried look on his face, then waved his hand.
Lu Miao understood and didn't stay any longer.
The two empty teacups ran away in a hurry.
You are still young after all.
Although he behaves calmly in daily life, he sometimes displays the youthful energy and cheerfulness that befits the younger generation...
Looking at the closed door of the office, Minister Zhan shook his head and laughed helplessly.
On the Guoyingshe side, Lu Miao worked hard to strive for more opportunities.
On the other side, Chang'an East Street.
Today, Tang Mei went shopping at home with Xu Xiangcao and Wang Xiu.
Baichuan is close to Xu Xiangcao and prefers to be held by Xu Xiangcao.
Tang Mei asked Xu Xiangcao to take the children for a walk in a nearby sheltered place.
She took Wang Xiu with her to buy daily necessities.
The entire Chang'an Avenue can be said to be the most lively and prosperous place in northern Beijing.
Not only are there many kinds of things sold in department stores.
Go past the department store and into the side streets of the alley, where there are many small stalls selling fruits, green plants and vegetables.
The Fu family’s small vegetable garden has only grown in the past few days.
Some time ago, most of the seasonal vegetables on the table were bought from this place.
There was no place suitable for children to play nearby, so Xu Xiangcao took Baichuan for a stroll in the small vegetable market on the side street.
Although the market here is small, it sells much more things than the one behind Qingta Hutong.
Baichuan lay on Xu Xiangcao's shoulder, turning his little head around, looking curiously and attentively.
After playing for a while, Bai Chuan was suddenly attracted by something. He stood up from Xu Xiangcao's arms and pointed in a direction and said:
"Auntie, I want that!"
Xu Xiangcao turned around to look.
It turned out that there was a stand next to a stall selling flowers and plants on a cart.
In the cage hanging on the bracket, there is a bird with colorful feathers, its feet tied with thin iron chains and small rings.
What Baichuan wanted was that little bird.
Not to mention that children like brightly colored things, even Xu Xiangcao had never seen this yellow-green bird with a hooked beak before.
Xu Xiangcao carried Baichuan over and asked the vendor:
"How much is this little bird? How do you sell it?"
The hawker was a dark, thin young man with a flat head.
I saw a young girl with a child coming over. Both of them were dressed very well, especially the child.
Most of the people living in this area are well-off families, and many of them have nannies and maids at home.
The vendor took a look and understood what was going on. He smiled and introduced enthusiastically:
"This is a parrot. Isn't it beautiful? It's so rare! If you want it, I'll give you three dollars, and I'll give you the cage too!"
"What? How much?"
Xu Xiangcao was a little scared.
The Fu family has enough rice and food, and usually has some expenses on buying groceries and daily necessities.
Lu Miao observed Xu Xiangcao and Wang Xiu for a while, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with them, he gave each of them a fixed amount of ten yuan per month for household expenses.
Keep accounts of transactions. If Xu Xiangcao and Wang Xiu spend more than they should due to special circumstances, they can ask Lu Miao for more.
Xu Xiangcao hardly touched the ten dollars this month, but this was a bit too exaggerated.
Normally, vegetables only cost a few cents per pound, but this little bird, the size of a fist, is being sold for three yuan!?
If it's only two or three cents, Xu Xiangcao would consider it if she haggled over the price.
This request is for three dollars. How could Xu Xiangcao dare to pay this money?
What if the owner doesn't buy it and asks her to pay for it?
Without even thinking of bargaining, Xu Xiangcao hugged Bai Chuan and turned away.
Baichuan refused and pointed at the pretty bird with his arm, twisting his body around as if he wanted it.
After walking for a while, Xu Xiangcao felt that she couldn't hold Baichuan any longer, so she could only put him down in a less crowded place on the street.
As soon as Baichuan's feet touched the ground, he ran towards the vendor who was selling flowers and plants.
Xu Xiangcao quickly pulled him back and said:
"Don't run around! Be careful or you might get caught by bad guys!"
Bai Chuan refused to give in and got angry and pushed Xu Xiangcao, who was holding his hand.
"If you don't buy me a bird, you're the bad guy!"
Xu Xiangcao was stunned for a moment, then reacted and quickly grasped the shoulders of the young master who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth to explain:
"It's not that I don't want to buy it for you, it's just too expensive and your mother won't let me buy it."
When talking about his mother, Baichuan quieted down a little, tilted his head and said with some doubt:
"My mom asked me to buy it..."
"Your mother won't let you."
Xu Xiangcao shook her head, not daring to take the risk of filling the bill later, so she pushed all the responsibility onto Lu Miao: "If you buy it back, your mother will definitely be angry."
"Mom is a good mom, she won't be angry!"
After all, she is still young. Although Baichuan spoke firmly, she couldn't change her emotions. As soon as she finished speaking, she opened her mouth and started sobbing.
Xu Xiangcao was flustered for a moment.
But although he was crying, he was just crying.
It's not as noisy as before.
Then he let out a barely audible sigh of relief.
"Okay, okay, stop crying, let's go home."
After coaxing Baichuan on the street until the child stopped crying, Xu Xiangcao picked up the child and walked back.
When Lu Miao got home from get off work in the afternoon, Bai Chuan's eyes were still slightly swollen.
The naughty boy is an extrovert and rarely cries.
Lu Miao was worried that the child was injured while running and jumping, so he hurriedly grabbed Bai Chuan's hand and looked him over.
I felt relieved when I saw that there were no wounds, big or small.
After asking the children and several adults in the family but getting no information, Lu Miao stopped dwelling on the matter for the time being.
