Chapter 1141: Happy and Harmonious
The next day, New Year's Day, Fu Jingyou got up early in the morning to busy himself with New Year's greetings.
Originally he said he was going alone, but when Tang Mei heard that he was going out, she asked him to take Shi An with him to play.
In fact, Tang Mei's subtext is that every household has children, and one or two red envelopes must be given out to children who come to visit and ask for good luck during the New Year.
But just giving money out is not a good thing. You can always get some back by taking the child away.
There are several children at home, and it doesn’t take too many to take care of. Shi An gets up the earliest, so it’s just right to take him along.
She is conservative and frugal, and always likes to calculate these small gains and losses.
Although it’s not a problem, this is just because Lu Miao didn’t get up in the morning.
Otherwise, if Lu Miao heard it, he would definitely say something to her.
You can't just think about other people having children. They have several children of their own, and the red envelopes they give out have to be taken back later.
Besides, Fu Jingyou took Shi An for a run outside. When they returned home for lunch at noon, they happened to meet Chen Xiangdong, Mei Zi, Gu Ying, Xie Fei and others coming in a car.
They all come to wish everyone a happy new year.
Lu Miao invited them into the house to sit down.
Gu Ying brought the child with her. Lu Miao served her tea and held the child for a long time. At the end, he definitely gave her a generous red envelope.
Seeing this, Gu Ying quickly stood up and tried to stop him:
"Such a young person doesn't know how to spend money, what are you going to do with her? No, no!"
Lu Miao stepped away with the child in his arms and looked at her angrily:
"It's a New Year's greeting for good luck and good fortune. Don't argue with me! If I can't spend it now, I'm not going to be able to spend it later. Just save it for her."
Gu Ying laughed, took the red envelope and put it away and asked:
"Where can you buy these little red envelopes? They're so delicate."
Lu Miao said, "How could I buy them? Brother You and I made them one by one a few nights before the New Year!"
Several female comrades gathered around the coffee table in the living room, drinking tea, chatting and eating slightly hot roasted oranges.
At a large table about ten meters away, Fu Jingyou refilled tea for Xie Fei and Chen Xiangdong, and the three of them were chatting and exchanging pleasantries.
When Chen Xiangdong heard Lu Miao from the female side say that the red envelopes were made one by one, he turned around and teased Fu Jingyou for being so meticulous.
Fu Jingyou pretended not to notice:
"You want it? Then work hard and get it done with Comrade Xiao Luo. When you have a child, your sister-in-law and I will definitely give you a big title."
Chen Xiangdong's ears turned red as he failed to make a joke and was made fun of instead.
He touched his short hair, showing a rare expression of embarrassment:
“Almost there, almost there!”
Getting married was already part of Chen Xiangdong's plan.
A few days ago, Chen Xiangdong went to the bank to check his accounts, and the money he saved was almost enough to buy a house and furniture.
After that, I will find time to discuss with Mei Zi to see whether she likes the yard or the building.
Once the house issue is finalized, marriage will naturally be on the agenda...
Of course, this was what Chen Xiangdong had in mind.
Although Chen Xiangdong is usually talkative and good at joking, he is really embarrassed to talk too much about topics such as his own marriage.
So he changed the subject and asked Fu Jingyou and Xie Fei:
"You two should have a few days off for the New Year, right? I just happened to have a few new fishing rods. Let's go fishing someday if the weather is nice!"
Xie Fei shook his head: "The river outside is frozen, where can we go fishing?"
It snowed until the end of December before the New Year, and the sun gradually came out a few days before the New Year.
The temperature is low after the snow melts, and the roads outside are freezing cold.
It was even more so on the river. Many families in the suburbs had to chisel the ice for half an hour before getting water.
Where can I go fishing in this situation?
Chen Xiangdong also knew what Xie Fei was talking about.
However, Chen Xiangdong had a different opinion and immediately said:
"Fish need to breathe too! We'll bring a shovel over later and break a layer of ice. That'll give the fish a good bite!"
This makes some sense, but Xie Fei thought for a while and said:
"The ground is frozen, and there's nowhere to dig for earthworms."
This is indeed a difficult problem.
Chen Xiangdong snorted, feeling a little troubled.
After listening to their chat for a while, Fu Jingyou pondered for a moment and said:
"Earthworms are easy to come by. I have a greenhouse in my backyard. I saw a few when I was pulling radishes a few days ago."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything, but as soon as he mentioned it, Chen Xiangdong couldn't sit still anymore and rushed out to dig earthworms to prepare for use in a few days.
The three men were pushing and shoving each other, and like immature boys, they waved their hands to tell the female comrades not to interfere, and went into the greenhouse at the back in a crowd.
Lesbians just don't bother to pay attention to them.
We haven't seen each other for a long time, and the sisters all feel that there is not enough time. Who has the time to take care of them?
The male comrades were half covered in dirt in the greenhouse, while the female comrades moved to Lu Miao's handicraft room after drinking tea.
People come to our house in waves.
Chen Xiangdong and Mei Zi had just finished their meal and left when Ling Yuan and Heipi Lao Si came over.
As soon as Sui Sui and Heipi Lao Si's two children, Zhu Yan and Yong Hua, came in, they called out "godfather" and "godmother". It was so lively...
Although I have never claimed that Zhu Yan and Yonghua are my goddaughters and godsons, I have gotten used to calling them that after living with them for so many years.
Besides, these two children are of similar age to the others in the family, so it would be nice to have more childhood playmates for them.
Lu Miao smiled and responded with a quick "Hey". After giving out the red envelopes, he asked the children at home to take their younger brothers and sisters out to play.
Lu Miao turned around and entertained the adults.
The Ling and Zhu families clearly valued this relationship, and the entire family came here this time.
When Lu Miao entertained Ling's father and mother, he asked about the situation of Ling Yuan's farm.
When Tang Mei had time to come over, Lu Miao went to entertain Heipi Laosi and his wife, and they talked about how Heipi Laosi's small business was doing.
Or ask Heipi Laosi's wife Li Yueji about the harvest and other issues.
Lu Miao is talkative and can chat about anything. He is the one who never leaves anyone out.
This made Li Yueji, who came for the first time, feel a lot more relaxed.
While she was taking care of and comforting the reserved Heipi Laosi and his wife, Fu Jingyou, after greeting the elders, chatted with Ling Yuan about his fishing trip a few days ago.
Fu Jingyou invited Ling Yuan to go with him, but Ling Yuan didn't respond immediately. He smiled twice before nodding slowly.
Lu Miao saw it and knew that he must be busy with other things. He glared at Fu Jingyou and reminded him:
"He grows off-season vegetables in his greenhouse, and it's a busy time around the end of the year. It's fine if you didn't go over to help, but don't cause him any trouble."
Ling Yuan smiled and said, "It's not that I need help, but there's been a lot going on on the farm lately..."
Fu Jingyou also reacted and patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Then let's make an appointment next time."
"Um."
Ling Yuan nodded slightly with a smile in his eyes, glanced at Lu Miao and then at Fu Jingyou, as if he wanted to say something, but finally swallowed his words back.
Lu Miao was very perceptive and turned to look at Lin Xian beside him.
