Chapter 346: Separated
As if it were a routine matter, Lu Yuanzheng finally asked about Fu Jingyou's work situation.
Fu Jingyou answered truthfully.
Lu Yuanzheng seemed to be weighing something. He stared at Fu Jingyou for a while and asked:
"If you were to be separated from your wife for a few years due to work or other irresistible reasons, would you be willing?"
This is a bit inappropriate, Lu Yuanzheng added:
"It's not like we won't see each other for several years. We can still see each other during festivals and the middle of the year."
Fu Jingyou didn't know why he asked this, but he answered decisively:
"I can earn less and save less. If I get a job transfer, I can use some of the money to rent a house, or if the company allocates a house, I can bring Miaomiao and the child with me."
Apart from the job transfer, Fu Jingyou couldn't think of any "uncontrollable" reasons for the time being.
But he was clear about his idea that the family must stay together.
Lu Yuanzheng nodded and stood up holding the enamel pot:
"Call me when the meal is ready."
As he spoke, Lu Yuanzheng went upstairs again.
“…”
Fu Jingyou watched his tall figure disappear around the corner of the stairs, and his heart felt inexplicably uneasy.
He and Miaomiao were separated for several years...
What does this sentence mean?
Tang Mei prepared the meal and called Lu Yuanzheng to come down to eat.
After that, Lu Yuanzheng didn't speak again at the table.
Dinner was dull.
The night passed in panic.
The next day, when Fu Jingyou got up, a thin layer of snow had accumulated in the yard again.
A layer of faint male footprints was left in the snow, indicating that Lu Yuanzheng had been out for some time.
When we met yesterday, Lu Yuanzheng looked a little thinner, but his mental state seemed to be good, so there should be no big problem.
Fu Jingyou felt relieved about the situation here.
Back home, worried about his wife and daughter, Fu Jingyou could no longer stay in Beijing, so he mentioned buying tickets that day.
There are many things to do during the New Year, and Tang Mei was worried that Lu Miao would be stressed raising two children alone in the south, so she didn't persuade him to stay longer.
Just when Fu Jingyou came back after buying the train ticket, Tang Mei received a package for him separately.
In addition to the things Tang Mei bought while shopping for New Year's goods that day, there are also things she tinkers with on a daily basis.
All of them are for Lu Miao and the two children.
In addition, Tang Mei handed Fu Jingyou a thick stack of heavy oil paper packages.
I couldn't see what was inside, but it was square like a brick, wider than a brick, and not as hard as a brick.
Fu Jingyou took it, pressed it and felt it, and roughly guessed what it was.
Tang Mei said, "This is what your father told you before he left. Go back and study hard. In the future, you should strive to be proud of yourself and pass the exam to go to the north with Xiaobao."
Fu Jingyou was slightly stunned, then realized what his father-in-law had said to him on the phone before.
He always thought that he might be transferred due to work reasons and separated from his wife and daughter.
It turned out that the father-in-law was worried that if Lu Miao was admitted to the city in the future, he would not be able to transfer.
Yes...
The job can be transferred, but who can guarantee that I can be transferred to Lu Miao's side?
The safest thing to do is to take the college entrance examination together.
Fu Jingyou hugged the stack of books tightly, his eyes deep.
My father-in-law didn't reveal any information directly, but the hint was very obvious.
"Aunt, I won't let you down."
Tang Mei patted him on the back and said nothing.
Fu Jingyou set out from home on the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month and returned from Beijing on the 21st day.
The train left at four in the morning and arrived in the county town of H Province at eight in the morning on the twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month.
The bicycle was stored in the courtyard of the county office. Fu Jingyou went to pick it up from there and made a bumpy ride home. It was exactly ten o'clock, not a minute more or less.
Tianzao had breakfast here, helped look after the children, and only left after Lu Miao had cleaned up the house.
Fu Jingyou parked his bicycle at the door, picked up the box and pushed open the half-open door.
There was a stove in the main room, and the eldest and second babies were sitting in the fence, babbling and playing.
Lu Miao was holding a small sewing basket in his arms. He had just bent over to adjust the stove damper and had not had time to pick up the needle and thread again.
She straightened up, a gentle smile on her fair face, and reached out to touch Erbao's black little head.
It was freezing cold outside, but the heating in the house was very cozy.
But looking at the scene in front of him, Fu Jingyou inexplicably felt guilty.
Lu Miao, who has a high level of education, should not be confined to the house to take care of the children.
She should also have her ideals in life.
"Ah, ah, Daddy..."
Erbao rushed to the door, Lu Miao tilted his head, and his smile was like a camellia blooming in winter.
Bright and beautiful.
"I figured you'd be back in the next couple of days. Have you eaten yet? I stewed some ribs on the stove."
Lu Miao put down the small basket and stood up to take the luggage from the man's hand, but the man avoided her and put his other hand around her waist, pulling her into his arms and kissing her on the side of her face several times.
"Don't make a fuss, Dabao and Erbao are still here."
“They don’t understand.”
The box fell heavily to the ground. Fu Jingyou pinched Lu Miao's waist, asked her to wrap her legs around his waist, and hooked her like a woodpecker, kissing her again and again.
"The day when the college entrance examination will be resumed shouldn't be far away. Capital universities are all undergoing renovations... Miaomiao, you go to the capital to attend university, and I'll find a new job there and stay with you, okay?"
"What are you talking about? You won't take the exam with me?"
"I mean, suppose I don't pass the exam."
Although Fu Jingyou could recognize words, he had never had any formal schooling experience and was really unsure about his future.
On the way back, he thought a lot.
The worst result is that Lu Miao passes the exam but he fails.
The subtext of my father-in-law's words was that his job was good and he could stay in Xi County temporarily to develop his career.
Meeting in the middle of the year and at the end of the year, it was about Lu Miaoxue's vacation...
He is alone here and has no way to take care of the children. By then, not only Lu Miao will leave, but also the two children.
Fu Jingyou always puts family first.
He couldn't accept this arrangement at all.
He didn't want to leave behind his little home that had finally warmed up, his caring wife, and his lovely children.
"When the time comes, I'll be looking for a new job. At worst, I'll have to start from scratch. I'll be more serious, work harder, and be more down-to-earth..."
"In one or two years, or even three years, I'll definitely be able to make a name for myself."
Fu Jingyou was worried about both gains and losses. He was reluctant to separate, but also afraid of holding Lu Miao back.
"Trust me, please, Miaomiao."
Lu Miao could vaguely guess that the elders in Jingbei must have said something to Fu Jingyou, which was why he acted like this.
"Of course I believe you."
Lu Miao put his arms around his neck and kissed his sexy lips.
"Don't be unconfident. Let's study together and we will definitely pass the exam."
"It doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam. Studying isn't the only way out in this world. There's still a lot of time...don't worry too much, okay?"
"Um."
Fu Jingyou nodded, and while a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, there was still a trace of worry between his brows.
Lu Miao picked out the pork ribs with more meat and served him a bowl of pork rib soup, asking him to wash up and have a good rest after eating.
We’ll talk about other things after we’ve had a good rest.
