Chapter 1174: Inestimable
Just as Liu Xiaozhu was arranged to send Nie Yunge home in the evening, Fu Jingyou came back from outside with a big bag of rice dumplings in his hand.
After asking, Lu Miao found out that it was given to him by some apprentices in the factory.
Fu Jingyou was willing to teach skills and make a living, so the families of those young men all remembered his kindness.
We won’t say anything about trivial matters on ordinary days, but we must always express our feelings on relatively formal traditional festivals like Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival.
Lu Miao took the rice dumplings to the kitchen, and when he came out, he told Fu Jingyou about the children's plan to raise fish:
"Keeping it in a barrel doesn't make sense. If you don't look closely, you can't see what's inside. It's not very interesting. Is there a glass tank for sale? Can I buy one?"
If you put it in your home, it can also serve as a unique decoration.
Fu Jingyou looked at the small fish in the bucket, thought about his wife's words and nodded slightly:
"Okay, I'll stop by on my way to work tomorrow."
"Hmm~"
Lu Miao smiled and nodded.
The couple had a good chat, but things were not going as planned.
After searching for a few days and not finding any glass jars for sale, Fu Jingyou scratched his head and thought about making one himself.
Anyway, the tools are ready, so it is not difficult to assemble a glass tank.
He is good at hands-on work and does things as soon as he thinks of them.
The next day, I took some time to bring in a few large pieces of thick glass from outside.
After measuring the size, use a glass cutter to make a "swishing" cut, and then press lightly at the right place, and several large pieces of glass will be immediately disassembled.
The edges and corners of freshly cut glass are still sharp and cannot be used directly.
Fu Jingyou carefully polished the upward cut surface of the glass into an arc, and only wiped off the dust after making sure it would not hurt the children.
He called a few young apprentices to help him, and applied sodium silicate and other special glues on the edges of the glass for assembly.
The cut glass block is not small in size, about 1.2 meters long and 50 centimeters wide.
No matter how thick the glass is, it still feels fragile.
Afraid that the middle area of the fish tank was too empty and would not be able to withstand the pressure and burst again when filled with water, Fu Jingyou cut the glass again and added a stable structure in the middle of the fish tank.
The added glass also has a hole the size of a bowl cut in the center, so turning back probably won’t affect the clever fish swimming back and forth…
The assembled glass tank remained empty in the factory for three days.
After waiting for the adhesive to dry completely, Fu Jingyou tried pouring water into it.
After making sure there was no water leakage, the next day at noon when Liu Xiaozhu delivered lunch to the factory, Fu Jingyou asked him to take the things home on the way.
When the children came back in the afternoon and saw the unique fish tank, their excited shouts filled the entire yard in an instant.
The fish tanks were adjusted again and again, and finally a long table was left empty, which was placed under the sunny wall to the right of the coffee table in the living room.
The "small fish tank" assembled by Fu Jingyou with an adult's perspective is really too big for children.
After a few small fish were put in, it looked even more empty and lonely.
When Lu Miao came back and saw the fish tank, he also said that it was too big.
The small fish were no bigger than her finger joints, so she originally thought that a small glass round tank the size of a bowl would be enough.
I really didn't expect the child's father to be so serious and make such a big fuss.
But I have to say, it does look quite realistic.
The family was chatting and discussing around the fish tank, and Fu Jingyou scratched his forehead and touched the back of his head.
The tall man relaxed, put his hands on his hips, and looked at the fish tank, wondering how to make further adjustments.
In the end, no action has been taken yet!
Two days later, on the weekend, the children finished their homework and ran out to pick up many round stones.
Afterwards, we washed the small stones and put them into the fish tank. The children decorated the fish tank little by little and enjoyed it very much with great interest.
Fu Jingyou saw this and simply gave up the idea, letting the children tinker with it themselves.
After taking care of these matters at home, Fu Jingyou focused on his work at the factory again.
At about the same time, Lu Miao arranged two foreign language courses at Beijing University.
The top universities in the country are naturally equipped with top-notch educational resources.
Chen Miuding contacted her and she submitted the application. After it was finally approved, she took a day off and led a class of students to the Diaoyutai State Foreign Affairs Mansion for a field visit and study.
The years were not good, and most of these students who traveled thousands of miles to study came from families of average or even tight financial conditions.
Lu Miao had a general understanding of the situation.
She had the conditions and had originally planned to take a weekend off to form a team before the exam period.
Take these students on a one-day trip to northern Beijing to take a good look at the eight major historical sites in northern Beijing.
After graduation, no matter whether you stay in Beijing North or not, you will have no regrets.
But unfortunately, the British News Agency got first-hand information from the front line.
During the five-year armed standoff following the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, from late April to mid-May this year, our army bravely succeeded in recovering many previously occupied border territories.
This news was real good news, and Lu Miao was recalled to the unit to handle international work.
After working overtime for several days, the team she led completed the international news release, and the agency also almost synchronized the Chinese manuscript to the People's Daily unit group at the next level.
The work for this phase was initially completed and was still in the final stages. Before Lu Miao had time to catch his breath, he received a new work assignment.
Minister Zhan asked her to attend an important meeting with him.
Unlike previous meetings where he had one vote, this time Lu Miao sat at the end of the table and listened.
In fact, it is mainly to pave the way for subsequent news dissemination work.
The main content of this meeting was actually based on the 35th anniversary military parade originally planned to be held on National Day this year, with some new directions for discussion.
Due to the recent border victory news, the authorities intend to expand the scale of the military parade.
One of them is national celebration.
The second reason is to use this grand military parade to show the world China's growth over the years, and at the same time to deter the surrounding villains.
Lu Miao listened attentively with her head down the whole time, but she didn't know how many people around her were looking at her openly or secretly.
The reason is simple: she is the only woman among the participants in this meeting.
People who knew her were secretly surprised, and lamented that since she could now go in and out of such occasions, her potential in the future would probably be immeasurable!
People who don't know her will look at her with more scrutiny.
I'm curious about her background and even more curious about her abilities...
After the meeting ended in the afternoon, Lu Miao and Minister Zhan took the same car back to the British British Socialist Republic.
She was about to ask Yu Hong to arrange the follow-up work when she entered the office. Before she could finish her words or even sit down in her chair, President Qin arranged for people to knock on the doors of each office to notify them of a meeting.
