Chapter 307 People are mutual
The meal was well prepared, and a lively atmosphere naturally emerged.
Lu Miao ran back and forth, carefully thinking about what dishes to prepare.
What kind of dishes can be made with what you have on hand?
Chen Guifen was in charge of sourcing and preparing all the formal procedures, such as the items for children's one-year-old celebrations and the red eggs to be given as gifts to guests who came to visit.
Fu Jingyou is even more so.
He scheduled his vacation half a month in advance and started preparing a few days before the birthdays of his eldest and second children.
Peanuts and nuts were prepared to entertain the guests, meat and fish were sold, and the bones that Lu Miao needed to make the soup were also obtained.
He cares most about the sense of ceremony.
Other families would buy a box of firecrackers for the New Year and cut them into several pieces, but he just bought more than twenty boxes.
In the past, my status was special and I couldn’t show it off.
Now that he is proud of himself, with a wife and children, this man who is particularly fussy in some aspects wants to show off for once.
There were not many relatives and friends invited, just about ten or twenty people.
He Hongjin and Chen Guifen were holding Dabao and Erbao in their arms, while Lu Miao was busy cooking in the kitchen with Tian Guihua.
Fu Jingyou lit a stick of incense and stood at the door. Whenever someone came into the house, he would explode a box of firecrackers with a "crackling" sound.
Dahe Village hasn't been this lively for a long time.
The adults were too embarrassed to come and join in the fun, so they asked the children to come and visit.
On this happy day, Fu Jingyou was particularly kind. It was rare for him not to have a stern face in front of outsiders. He smiled happily and started to amuse the children with melon seeds and peanuts, and gave them some to eat.
The children in the village were also very sweet-talkers, calling him "Little Sixth Uncle" and "What a pretty sister" all the time, which made Fu Jingyou very happy.
Friends and relatives were divided into two tables.
Fu Jingyou was entertaining guests in the front, and Lu Miao stood at the kitchen door and took a look.
Almost everyone has arrived, but there are still two small-time employees missing.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law of the He family's eldest house haven't arrived yet...
The front pot in the kitchen is used for cooking, and the back pot is filled with spices for braised meat and pig ears.
The big-bellied soup pot on the stove nearby was still bubbling, and the two soft-shelled turtles stewed inside were almost done.
Lu Miao stood at the back of the kitchen and watched for a while, then walked back to help Tian Guihua.
I originally thought of waiting a little longer, as Brother He and Sister-in-law He should be here soon.
As a result, the main room was in a commotion, and Chen Guifen even started looking for a bamboo sieve to put things in so that the eldest and second babies could have their one-year-old celebrations.
Lu Miao looked at something wrong and muttered:
"Brother and sister-in-law haven't arrived yet. Is it because they can't make time, or haven't been notified yet?"
Tian Guihua paused for a moment as she was filling the bowl with soup. The next moment, she used chopsticks and a spoon to fish out the turtle's skirt from the big-bellied soup pot and arranged it on a plate with the head and feet in order.
If Tian Guihua just responded casually, Lu Miao would not be suspicious.
She suddenly stopped talking, and Lu Miaofan turned around to look at her.
Upon seeing this, I could see that Tian Guihua looked unnatural.
Lu Miao frowned and asked in a muffled voice:
"Second sister-in-law, I wasn't awake at that time. Did something happen at home?"
Tian Guihua swallowed and pursed her lips.
Avoiding Lu Miao's gaze, she placed a bowl of turtle soup on the stove, then took out another large bowl to continue making soup:
"Nothing's wrong. Look at your family, isn't everything fine? What's wrong?"
Tian Guihua's small gesture of avoiding gaze was enough to explain everything.
What Lu Miao hated most was the feeling that when everyone around her knew about something, they were just hiding it from her.
"If you don't tell me, I'll go out and ask Fu Jingyou!"
Lu Miao lowered his brows, and his pretty face tensed.
As he said this, he took a step towards the front room.
The front room is full of guests now, how could Tian Guihua really let her go?
What happened before was not a good thing.
With so many outsiders here, if it gets out, not only will the He family lose face again, but they also have to hold the two kids’ first birthday celebrations!
"You're already a mother of two, why are you still so stubborn?"
Tian Guihua couldn't do anything with her and pulled her back.
"I'm just telling you...it's not a big deal."
Tian Guihua sighed and told the story of what happened at the end of the year, half true and half false.
She didn't mean to lie, but she was mainly afraid that Lu Miao would get angry and go out and get angry with others on such a nice day.
Tian Guihua spoke quite tactfully, but Lu Miao was not stupid.
You can tell something from her nervous attitude.
"What did she use to hit Brother You?!"
Tian Guihua hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to speak.
She refused to say anything, and Lu Miao stopped forcing her. He turned around, sat down at the stove, and started crying.
Lu Miao felt extremely upset.
She was not very conscious at that time and lay there for almost a year.
How much physical, mental and emotional pressure did Fu Jingyou suffer at that time? How much pain did he feel?
Even if Zhao Lanxiang had a problem with them, she shouldn't have said such words to hurt that man's heart!
And he even hit people...
She had just woken up, and there were many white hairs on Fu Jingyou's head, like upright steel needles.
She had plucked out his white hairs and had felt it then.
What a big scar...
She asked at the time.
Fu Jingyou scared her, saying that it was caused by a knock when he was a child.
Not at all!
Lu Miao paused slightly and cried even harder.
The clear tears rolled down one after another, just like beads on a string.
Tian Guihua sighed slightly, feeling that city people are different, even their cries are beautiful.
But he couldn't help but move closer to coax her:
"Okay...it's my sister-in-law's fault, but today is a happy day, you shouldn't be crying."
Lu Miao didn't want to cry, but his heart was bitter and painful, and it was difficult to control his emotions.
But she also knows the real business.
Brother He and Sister-in-law He have been ruled out and will be irrelevant people from now on.
It is really wrong to delay your family affairs for these insignificant people.
Lu Miao wiped away a tear and said fiercely:
"If you don't want to come, then don't come! We don't want to have anything to do with them anymore!"
Tian Guihua sighed slightly.
The Fu family and Brother He had long since cut off contact.
Perhaps they were afraid of encountering awkward situations when they returned, so Brother He and his wife did not return during the Qingming Festival and Dragon Boat Festival this year.
The severance of diplomatic relations was a foregone conclusion, but now that Lu Miao had spoken frankly and honestly, Tian Guihua still felt inexplicably melancholy.
All the people with the surname He are from the same family.
If something really happens, even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected, and at that time, it will be our own family members who will come to help.
Lu Miao is right.
Tian Guihua’s idea was not wrong.
It's just a matter of stance.
Another thing that Tian Guihua overlooked was one thing.
Those with the surname He are all from the same family, but Fu Jingyou's surname is Fu.
In other words, if the conflict that occurred on the border last year was between Brother He and Brother He.
No matter how dissatisfied Zhao Lanxiang was, would she dare to say such heart-wrenching words to He Erge and his wife?
Zhao Lanxiang didn't dare.
People are mutual.
The He family was good to Fu Jingyou, and Fu Jingyou kept it in mind. He was also filial and helpful to the He family all year round.
But people are also selfish.
Zhao Lanxiang could not see Fu Jingyou's busy work or Fu Jingyou's filial piety, and even if she did, she would pretend not to see it.
