Chapter 1062 Progress
Afterwards, he emphasized to Tang Mei, Xu Xiangcao, Wang Xiu and others that they should keep a closer eye on the children.
Don't leave your child alone or climb stairs by themselves.
Baichuan is still young, doesn't know how to mimic others, and his attention is quickly diverted.
The bird’s incident during the day may have been forgotten in the child’s mind, but the child is subconsciously dependent on his mother.
Baichuan still felt a little aggrieved, and when he saw his mother, his emotions were magnified again, and he clung to his mother very tightly.
Lu Miao couldn't help but laugh, picked up the little guy and pecked his chubby little face.
The mother and son were affectionate for a while, and Baichuan soon started to giggle with joy:
"Mom, I want to sleep with you today!"
"Okay, let Aunt Vanilla take you to take a bath first. After dinner, Mommy will take you upstairs to rest, okay?"
"Um!"
Little Baichuan smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. He slid from his mother's arms to the ground, obediently took Xu Xiangcao's hand and went to take a bath with her.
Lu Miao smiled faintly and went upstairs to put down his things but did not rest for a moment.
In the break before dinner, she checked the condition of the cacti where the cochineal insects were being cultivated.
After a period of time, the number of cochineal insects increased significantly.
The nutrients in those cacti have been almost squeezed out, and now they have become shriveled.
For fear of affecting the growth of cochineal, Lu Miao moved the several potted cacti on the terrace to the windowsills on both sides that could shelter from the rain.
The one that can secrete the pigment raw materials is the queen insect.
When I watched videos before, I saw that people used to breed cochineal by making a small funnel out of paper and nailing it to the cactus.
Then put the selected female insects into the small funnel and let them slowly climb onto the cactus by themselves.
One of the reasons is that the number of insects Lu Miao has is very small.
The second reason is that she personally cannot accurately distinguish which are male insects and which are female insects.
We are afraid that improper operation during the selection process will cause the limited number of breeding insects to be reduced again.
Lu Miao skipped the process of selecting males and females and carefully cut the shriveled cacti with cochineal insects into small pieces and placed them close to the cacti in the pot.
If nothing unexpected happens, these cochineal insects will migrate to new carriers afterwards...
After finishing the work, I went to the bathroom to wash my hands. Afterwards, I wiped the water and wanted to apply cold cream, but when I picked up the porcelain box, I was stunned.
Lu Miao remembered that he had only used up this box of vanishing cream not long ago.
As it was hot and people washed their hands frequently, Lu Miao didn't think too much about it.
He screwed the lid on the box and threw it into the trash can. Lu Miao squatted down and took out a new box from the cabinet under the sink.
The tables, chairs, storage cabinets, overhead lights and small table lamps in the handicraft room on the first floor have all been installed.
Lu Miao came out of the bathroom, picked up the cochineal powder, alcohol lamp, test tubes, etc. on the second floor, and took them all downstairs.
Because some resources are scarce, and because alcohol lamps, test tubes, measuring cups and the like are fragile.
Afraid that the child would come in and make trouble and hurt himself, Lu Miao put his things away and directly pulled out the key from the lock.
A spare key was given to Tang Mei, and she kept the rest herself.
Lu Miao usually remembers more clearly where the things he collected are.
Therefore, she specifically told Tang Mei that they didn't need to go into the handicraft room to clean up, and she would take care of and arrange anything that needed to be done.
After dinner, Fu Jingyou had not returned yet, so Lu Miao took advantage of the free time to tinker in the handicraft room for a while.
Purify the cochineal base pigment powder again through the same process as above, apply it again on the oil paper and let it dry naturally before going out and taking Baichuan upstairs.
During this period of job hunting, Fu Jingyou always left early and came back late.
Lu Miao went forward and took a shower and read a book, and then waited for someone to come back.
I waited until 9:30 pm today but didn't see anyone.
When the small desk lamp is on, the child sees the dim light when he turns over, and always hums softly and cannot sleep well.
Lu Miao had no choice but to turn off the lights and take the child to bed.
When I woke up the next morning, there was still no one around me.
Lu Miao washed up and went downstairs.
If Tang Mei hadn't said that Fu Jingyou got up early and went out again, Lu Miao wouldn't have known that he had come back last night.
It was rare for both of them to be busy and have no time to meet and say hello.
"Auntie, here's four hundred yuan. Dabao said a few days ago that he wanted to learn painting. Ask Dad to find time to go to the Children's Palace to discuss it. Let's sign him up for one semester first..."
After a quick breakfast at home, Lu Miao placed an envelope on the table while filling his water cup.
"I'm going to work. Yangyang is still asleep. You might want to go upstairs and bring him down. Don't let him wake up and cry again if he doesn't see anyone."
"I understand. Go ahead."
Lu Miao nodded, put on his bag and went out.
Yu Hong sorted out several documents related to fabric processing factories, including sock factories, bed sheet factories, towel factories, etc.
Lu Miao summarized the key points and sales talk of the cooperation and went to talk to each company one by one.
She worked at the Municipal Finance Department and had a work certificate from the relevant unit, so it was actually easier for her to deal with the heads of such state-owned factories.
But state-owned factories are now showing signs of a lack of successors.
Most factory managers are very opposed to the idea of "capital". When they heard Lu Miao speak, they felt that it was like getting something for nothing.
Some of them are indeed due to business pressure.
Some are completely distrustful.
Therefore, they were reluctant to have in-depth communication with Lu Miao in every aspect, let alone cooperation.
As a result, after a few days, Lu Miao had not made any progress at all.
After leaving the bed sheet factory and getting into the car, no one spoke and the atmosphere seemed unusually depressing.
Yu Hong turned her head and looked back.
Essentially, she wanted to talk, but because she wasn't quite sure about the purpose of Lu Miao's trips, Yu Hong really didn't know what to say.
The atmosphere was awkward and stagnant. Yu Hong hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously:
"Senior, shall we go back?"
Lu Miao shook his head. He had originally planned to try again at the last garment factory, but after looking through the factory information, he found that the address was not close.
It was already afternoon, and if he rushed over at this time, he wouldn't be able to say a few words. He closed the document and nodded.
"Let's go back."
"good."
The car let out a burst of exhaust gas and slowly drove away from the side of the road.
Lu Miao tilted his head to look out the window, wondering what to do if he couldn't reach an agreement with the people from the garment factory tomorrow.
Just when I was worried, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in my sight.
"etc!"
Lu Miao glanced at the door curtain sign that the person on the street had entered, and immediately called a halt:
"Pull over here. You guys go back to the agency first. I'll do some work and I'll go back later."
Lu Miao pushed the door and got out of the car.
Yu Hong and the driver looked at each other and had to cooperate and leave.
Lu Miao jogged a little while carrying his shoulder bag and then entered the auxiliary road room.
"Brother You!"
Fu Jingyou was talking to the young comrade at the counter.
Hearing the word "Brother You", Fu Jingyou shuddered with fear.
