Chapter 1178 Let Me Think About It
Fu Jingyou responded solemnly, and only when she calmed down did he hold her face and peck her:
"Okay, stop crying... Let's eat first. The food is getting cold. I don't know if my cooking skills are good enough until I cook for a long time."
Lu Miao pouted slightly and let him lead her to sit down at the table again.
Fu Jingyou picked up a chicken wing for her. As she ate it slowly, he then picked up her favorite chicken drumsticks and the front and back elbows of rabbit joints.
"There are too many chilies in it. Will it be spicy?"
"A little bit, but it tastes better when it's spicy."
Lu Miao nodded, swallowed his food and added:
"In the future, try to use less garlic when cooking at home. If it's not necessary, it's best not to use it at all. It easily adds a smell, and it's not suitable for me to do handover work with people in some occasions."
"Okay, I'll talk to my aunt and the others about it tomorrow."
Fu Jingyou nodded slightly and placed the poured soda next to her.
Lu Miao said "hmm" obediently.
The meat on the rabbit leg is too tough and not easy to chew with chopsticks.
She simply changed to holding it in her hand.
Seeing her eating with such relish, Fu Jingyou couldn't help but feel relieved.
A smile flashed in his eyes, and he picked up his chopsticks and slowly followed her to eat.
But he still remembered one thing.
As Lu Miao pushed the cup and exhaled "shashasha" from the spiciness, he refilled her soda and asked:
"On the way back, you said you had something to say, but you didn't tell me what it was."
Lu Miao paused slightly and turned to look at him. Not only did he not take the soda, he even unconsciously put down the rabbit leg in his hand.
Fu Jingyou's eyes flickered slightly. Seeing that she was abnormal, he had some sense in his heart, but he still remained calm and asked:
"What's wrong? Is there something difficult?"
"no."
Lu Miao shook his head.
Fu Jingyou then asked:
"What is that?"
Lu Miao briefly summarized his remarks before answering:
"I'm going on a business trip next month, and it'll take longer this time. I won't be back until around September or October."
Fu Jingyou asked, "Aren't we going to Guangzhou this time? I remember the Autumn Canton Fair doesn't start until mid-October every year?"
Lu Miao nodded first and then shook his head:
"We're not going to Guangzhou. This trip is farther, going abroad."
"Out of the country?"
"Well, the United States initiated an international cultural exchange conference, and we are one of the invited countries."
Fu Jingyou stared at Lu Miao blankly:
"Have you agreed?"
Lu Miao said calmly and truthfully:
"There are only so many people on the job who can do the job. This isn't something I can influence with a nod or a shake of my head. If I'm assigned to go, then I have to go."
What this means is that the matter is already a done deal.
Fu Jingyou rolled his Adam's apple, frowned, held his forehead, and stared at the dish in front of him for a long time without saying a word.
He felt uneasy if Lu Miao went too far within his own country.
Not to mention going abroad.
He had one sincere word, which was that he was reluctant to let Lu Miao go.
But after weighing it over and over again, I still didn't know how to say it.
It seems reasonable for individuals to make concessions in front of the country.
My daughter-in-law is more capable than many people. This is her job content, and this work arrangement must also include promotion and appreciation from the leader.
If she wants to continue upstream, she has to go this time.
But……
Fu Jingyou felt depressed and lowered his brows in worry.
They said they were sharing their surprise with each other, but who knew it would turn out like this in the end?
"Brother You..."
Lu Miao pursed his lips and called him softly.
Lu Miao always knew that this would be a hurdle at home.
But since she studied this major and entered this industry, it was only a matter of time before this day came.
It's just that this day came earlier than expected.
Since the task fell on her, she couldn't refuse, and considering the better development in the future, she couldn't refuse either.
Lu Miao frowned slightly, and his mood was also a little complicated.
Just as he was thinking about how to convince the child's father, Fu Jingyou wiped his face, picked up the chopsticks again to pick up some food for her and said:
"Eat first, we can talk about this later. I'll think about it."
Lu Miao noticed his evasion, swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and nodded lightly:
"good."
The couple ate in silence.
After dinner, Lu Miao asked Fu Jingyou to take a shower, while she collected the dishes and took them to the kitchen downstairs.
Put the dishes in the sink and wait for Wang Xiu and Xiangcao to get up tomorrow to wash them.
She put the leftovers onto a plate, put it up and went upstairs.
As soon as I went up to the terrace, I saw that Fu Jingyou did not go to take a shower, but leaned against the terrace fence with one hand on his shoulder and started smoking again.
In the past, when he smoked, Lu Miao would always say something to him.
But this time, Lu Miao stopped briefly at the corner of the stairs, looking at him from afar, rarely saying a word.
She was wearing light-colored pajamas, but she was still visible in the dimly lit night.
Noticing that she had come back, Fu Jingyou didn't let her say more. He exhaled a puff of mist, pinched the cigarette butt and said:
"Go back to your room and rest first. I'll come after I take a shower."
"good."
Lu Miao thought he was upset and maybe wanted to be alone for a while, so he left the space to him.
Let’s talk about Fu Jingyou.
There is self-awareness, but it is not much.
As soon as Lu Miao left, he lit up the cigarette he had just put out.
He smoked a few cigarettes, then walked around the terrace with his head touched and his shoulders hugged.
The moon is bright in the sky and the stars are sparse. The yard is welcoming the chirping of crickets again in the new summer.
Seeing that it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he slowly went to the bathroom to wash up.
When Fu Jingyou returned to the room, covered in sweat, Lu Miao was sitting on the bed, still awake, obviously waiting for him.
Fu Jingyou said nothing about going abroad. He turned off the lights and lay on the bed and said:
"Go to sleep first."
But he didn't mention it, but Lu Miao couldn't help but mention it.
No matter how much you try to avoid it, you can only avoid it temporarily; the problem must always be faced.
Lu Miao lay on his side, pressed against his back, and hugged his waist and said:
"Brother You, this is actually nothing. It's just like any other business trip. It's just a little farther away and takes a little longer. It's really nothing else... Don't worry too much, okay?"
Fu Jingyou didn't say anything. Lu Miao waited for a while and continued to mutter to him:
"When I really go there, I will definitely call home often, okay? Hey, Brother You..."
Although her words were in the coquettish tone of a little girl, the firm attitude between her words and actions could not be ignored.
"Um."
In the darkness, Fu Jingyou's strong brows knitted together, but he responded in a low voice.
Lu Miao was stunned for a moment, and propped himself up to try to see his face clearly in the darkness:
"Brother You, do you agree?"
Fu Jingyou turned over and lay flat on his back, holding her slender waist, and she obediently leaned against his chest.
"Did the unit say when we would leave?"
"They only mentioned July, but they haven't said the exact time yet."
"It's just an exchange meeting, does it have to last that long? We'll be gone in July and won't be back until September or October?"
"No."
