Chapter 310 It Will Be Better Later
The little guy also acts based on appearance.
When Tian Guihua was around, he always acted uncooperative and made a fuss, asking for this and that.
As soon as Lu Miao came over, he immediately calmed down, holding the small bowl and sitting side by side with Dabao in the cage chair, eating his meal honestly.
Seeing Lu Miao sitting next to them and watching them, Minjie rolled his dark eyes and said:
"Auntie's cooking is so delicious."
Lu Miao smiled and asked, "Is it better than what your mother makes?"
Minjie nodded, shook his head, and nodded again, feeling extremely conflicted:
"Mom's cooking is delicious too... Mom has never made this before."
Minjie was about to grab the food with his hands while holding the bowl, but Lu Miao quickly stopped him:
"You must use a spoon to eat, not your hands."
Minjie's small bowl contained scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Lu Miao added sugar, making the taste sweet and sour.
Dabao and Erbao love this taste, and Minjie likes it too, unsurprisingly.
Minjie nodded, then pointed at Dabao with the spoon held upside down:
"My brother used his hands."
Dabao was chewing on a piece of garlic sprout in his hand.
Although he didn't have many teeth, he bit off a small piece of garlic sprout very fiercely, held it in his mouth and sipped it over and over again, with saliva flowing everywhere.
Lu Miao explained carefully:
"My younger brother can't use a spoon yet, but he will be able to when he's a little older... Minjie is the older brother and should set a good example. His younger brothers and sisters should learn from him in the future."
Minjie was overwhelmed by the words "Brother Minjie". His little chest puffed up and he ate his food seriously with a spoon.
The little mouth moved frequently and the food tasted so delicious.
The other people at the table saw this scene and were amused.
He Hongjin took a sip from the small cup and said to Fu Jingyou:
"Your wife, aside from her stubborn temper, is really good in every way, especially when it comes to taking care of children..."
Before he could utter the words "You're really good at taking care of kids," He Hongjin looked back at Chen Guifen:
"Hey, why are you pushing me?"
Chen Guifen gave him a look that said "You'll know soon" and said nothing.
Then, Fu Jingyou made a "tsk" sound and muttered:
"What's wrong with her? If she's not okay, then she's only bothering me, not you..."
“…”
He Hongjin was speechless for a while, frowned and looked at Fu Jingyou and said:
"Let's not talk about her, your temper is also the same. Why didn't I know before that you are also stubborn? Can't you just say a word?"
"I'm not telling you to talk, just say something else, or I can talk about you, or what do you say about her..."
He Hongjin drank some wine and felt a little tipsy. He slammed the wine cup on the table and looked unhappy.
Seeing that the two of them were about to argue, He Erge quickly came out to smooth things over and change the subject:
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I have something else I want to discuss with my family."
The people at the table immediately turned their attention to He Erge.
Between the main hall and the door of the room, Lu Miao was concentrating on wiping Dabao's saliva and didn't notice what was happening at the table.
He Erge smiled awkwardly, exchanged glances with Tian Guihua, and said:
"There's a vacant cooking position in the coal factory cafeteria. The monthly salary is 18.5 yuan... I'm thinking of asking Minjie's mother to take it."
Chen Guifen said, "It's a good thing there's a job opening! A job in the factory is a stable job!"
Tian Guihua laughed dryly and said nothing, looking like she was following orders.
He Erge said, "It's a good thing, isn't it... The work in the cafeteria is quite varied and there's a lot of it. If Minjie's mom goes there, Minjie won't have time to take care of it."
After a pause, He Erge continued:
"We've decided to leave this naughty boy at home and ask you to take care of him... You'll have to hand over five yuan a month from Minjie's mother's salary."
He Hongjin frowned and said with a dark face:
"They are all family children. They stay at home. If there is a bite to eat at home, your mother and I will not give them to you or what? And we still have to pay for it?"
He Erge scratched the back of his head:
"You are my real grandfather, you definitely don't want this money, and this money is not for you and mother."
"?"
A question mark popped up in He Hongjin's head.
"I heard that children in the city all start their education early, and my younger siblings are well-educated. Minjie stays at home, too..."
He Erge looked at Fu Jingyou, then at Lu Miao at the door, and explained:
"I was wondering if my brother and sister-in-law could help take care of the child and teach him when they are free, so as to lay a foundation for him."
Tian Guihua also said:
"Schools are closed now, but they will definitely reopen later... How can the President allow the next generation of our children to be illiterate?"
He Erge nodded:
"That's what I mean. If Minjie can learn some basics from his aunt, then when school reopens, he'll be ahead of others and have an advantage, right?"
He Hongjin and Chen Guifen looked at each other.
That's the truth, but they don't have the final say in this matter.
Fu Jingyou couldn't agree to it rashly. He had to get Lu Miao's consent.
Fu Jingyou drank a cup of wine and practiced Tai Chi at the dinner table:
"Let's eat first. I've made note of this. I'll talk to Miaomiao about it tonight and ask for her opinion."
He Erge smiled and nodded, then picked up the bottle and filled Fu Jingyou's glass again.
This matter requires a request from others, so there is no need to rush. He Erge and Tian Guihua are not in a hurry at the moment.
Lu Miao served some rice and fed it to Dabao with the tomato and egg broth.
When she heard her name being mentioned at the big table, she turned around and asked:
"What's the matter? You want to ask me?"
Fu Jingyou waved his hand: "It's nothing. After you finish feeding, go and rest for a while. Throw Mingyi in the fence and let him play by himself for a while."
Lu Miao rolled his eyes at him unhappily:
"No matter how easy Dabao is to coax, you can't treat him like a piglet!"
When talking about this "little piglet", He Hongjin laughed out loud.
You’re not to mention.
Dabao is chubby and very cute.
They are just like the little piglets in the pigpen who are looking forward to growing up.
"According to the time, those two pigs beside the house have been raised for about a year, right?"
Chen Guifen estimated it and said:
"This pig is fatter than the ones we've raised in the past. It looks like it must weigh around 270 or 280 kilograms. Have you thought about when to slaughter it?"
"Let's wait for a while until the weather gets a little cooler..."
Fu Jingyou said slowly:
"I'll probably have to go to Beijing for the New Year this year. I'll make some bacon and bring it over there after it's dried. I'll ask my aunt and Miaomiao's dad to try it too."
Chen Guifen nodded:
"I'm glad you have a plan... If we keep this pig fat, we'll have a lot left after we complete the task by the end of the year..."
As she spoke, Chen Guifen was very emotional:
"Ah, after all these years, I can finally have a prosperous year."
Who said it wasn’t?
In the past, people always craved meat, but now every household has gradually started to raise pigs and expand the scale of raising chickens and ducks.
Occasionally, I can eat the eggs I saved, and my stomach is gradually filled with meat and oil, which makes life more hopeful.
He Hongjin drank too much, his head was dizzy, and he was in a daze and didn't say anything.
Fu Jingyou looked at Lu Miao and Dabao at the door and said with a smile:
"It will get better in the future."
