Chapter 148 Caring for Each Other
After a brief introduction and greetings in the letter, Fu Jingyou wrote down his feelings at the time.
He tried to be as tactful as possible, but still straightforward.
The letter stated that he wanted to go to Beijing, but was worried that it would cause trouble for her.
He wanted to see her, but he was worried that it would be too abrupt and would scare her.
Seven letters.
Every letter is like this.
The end is also very similar in the solicitation.
I hope Lu Miao can and is willing to meet him.
Contradictory and tangled, restrained and humble...
Although these letters were not sent out, Lu Miao was inexplicably convinced.
If she had come back a few days later, Fu Jingyou would have definitely gone to Beijing to find her.
Putting the letter back into the drawer, Lu Miao opened the top wooden lid again.
This time was different from the previous disappointment. She sighed slightly, and a helpless smile appeared on her rosy lips.
In Fu Jingyou's mind, the so-called junk may not be considered as such.
The little heart made of foxtail grass has long since become dry and yellow. The small flower core that covers up its flaws is still there, but the petals are withered and have long since fallen off.
There were also small river clam shells and old black lotus seeds with shallow tooth marks left on them where she had bitten them.
This guy...
He really collects everything.
Weird emotions arose in his heart, and Lu Miao felt both comfortable and helpless.
There was a sound of the back door being locked from the kitchen. It must be Fu Jingyou coming back from taking a shower.
Lu Miao quickly closed the lid of the small wooden box, pushed it back into the cabinet, and then put the stacks of cloth in.
She wanted to save some face for this man.
Just as he always cared for her.
She also wanted to protect his little thoughts and sensitivities.
Fu Jingyou walked into the room while wiping his hair, and Lu Miao just happened to push the sliding door of the long cabinet closed.
Fu Jingyou saw her half-supporting herself on the bed with great difficulty and asked:
"What's wrong?"
Lu Miao shook his head and smiled at him, "It's okay, it's just that this door is a little difficult to close."
Although it is a sliding door, the sliding doors at this time are different from the ones with wheels or slides in later generations.
The current "slide" is just two grooves, and the two small wooden cabinet doors are forcibly moved.
"Let me see."
Fu Jingyou put down the towel and walked to the end of the bed.
I tried it and it’s true.
Not only is the cabinet door difficult to push, but it also makes a grinding sound when you push it.
"Go to sleep first, and we'll deal with the rest tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll bring a candle or soap and rub it, and it will be able to move."
"Um."
There was a rustling noise in the Fu family's house for a while, and then the lights went out.
Lu Miao fell asleep lying on his side facing the wall.
Perhaps newly married couples love to be close to each other. Fu Jingyou pressed his chest tightly against her back, holding her tightly.
The autumn night was a little chilly, so I had to cover myself with a thin blanket when I slept. But when he hugged me, I felt a little hot just lying there, let alone covering myself with a blanket.
Lu Miao pulled back his elbow and shoved him:
"Don't cling so tightly to me. It's so hot and your breathing is so loud that I can't sleep."
Fu Jingyou breathed lightly.
The bed board trembled slightly, and he seemed to have moved back a little, but in fact he did not move at all.
"Just sleep like this. It's comfortable this way."
Lu Miao had no choice but to adjust to a comfortable position and let him go.
I don't know how long it took, when Lu Miao closed her eyes and was half asleep, Fu Jingyou coaxed her and said:
"Tomorrow I'll go catch some fish in the ditch and prepare some firewood. Then I'll go into the mountains in a couple of days, okay? Hmm?"
Lu Miao suddenly woke up, twisting his neck and looking up at him in the darkness.
Fu Jingyou rested his chin against the top of her head, his chest trembling slightly:
"It's rare to have so much free time these days. If it gets to the New Year, it will be busy again."
After the New Year, when spring plowing and planting come, there will be no chance to go out.
"Um."
Lu Miao responded uninterestedly, turned around and leaned on his arm.
"I don't object to you working on the black market, but it's not a good idea to do it all the time... Now that your background is clear, even if you don't work in the team, can you find another job in the town or county?"
The black market is dangerous, but given the current living conditions, it is the fastest way to make money and build a fortune.
Speaking of money, it is indeed lacking.
It seems that there is no shortage of it.
Lu Miao still had nearly two hundred yuan in his hand. At that time, eggs were only four cents each, and a pound of meat was only seventy or eighty cents. Two hundred yuan was not a small amount of money.
If they save a little, they will be able to live a comfortable life in the next two to three years, or even three to four years.
But Lu Miao didn't mention the money.
Because she knew that even if she told him, Fu Jingyou would let her keep it and save it.
It's not that he is chauvinistic, but he refuses to use his wife's money even when times are tough.
Instead, they manage a family, one takes care of the inside and the other takes care of the outside, and both of them shoulder heavy responsibilities.
He felt that the situation had not yet reached that point, so he hoped that Lu Miao could take the money and use it to save his life if he really encountered difficulties in the future.
"Without a recommendation, it's hard for people like us to find a stable job. We can only wait for news from the commune..."
Lu Miao could understand him better.
Fu Jingyou knew that she said this not because she discriminated against his current job, but because she was worried about his safety.
After thinking for a while, Fu Jingyou continued:
"Let's wait and see. The last few times I've been to the county, I've seen road construction going on in many places. I also heard the county is going to set up some kind of mechanical contracting group. Every commune will definitely need to contribute people. I'll give it a try then."
Fu Jingyou was full of energy, but Lu Miao became worried.
Every commune needs to contribute people...
However, the commune was divided into several brigades, and each brigade was divided into production teams.
According to the population base of Dahe Village, there are three or four production teams under the regular brigade, which means there are 1,200 people in total.
How many places are there in the county?
How many communes participated?
What is the probability that it will be Fu Jingyou’s turn?
There is little hope.
Lu Miao was afraid that Fu Jingyou would take the matter seriously because of her words, and would feel disappointed if he was not selected.
Then she gently hugged Fu Jingyou and said:
"That's it for now. Occasionally, I'll go to the black market. It would be nice if you could stay with the team most of the time. I always feel scared when I'm alone at home."
Fu Jingyou hummed, and her arms, which were resting on his head, hugged her tightly.
Lu Miao looked up at him and emphasized seriously:
“I really think this is a good thing.”
Fu Jingyou nodded barely audibly, "I know."
Lu Miao thought for a moment and then said:
"Is there a scrap yard in town? See if you can find some books and newspapers? Learn to read with me!"
"I can read."
"Oh, you really are!"
Lu Miao pushed him coquettishly.
"I know you can read, but you need to learn the theoretical knowledge from books with me. It's not just about being able to write and recite quotations, poems by great men, etc. You need to be able to do all of that."
Not only that.
Fu Jingyou had to learn other knowledge slowly, such as mathematics, physics, English, etc.
Lu Miao could not reveal anything about the college entrance examination, but there were still three years before it was restarted, so she could take Fu Jingyou with her.
There is still plenty of time to prepare.
