Chapter 406: Sister-in-law Xiao Fu
"Auntie is so nice~"
Lu Miao laughed, "Hehe", which was a bit too sweet.
Tang Mei laughed along and shook her head indulgently:
"Go quickly, and tell me when you get back if there's still room in the car. I'll pack some spare clothes for your dad so he can warm up right away. You should also bring some spring clothes."
"Of course it can fit. If it can't fit, we can squeeze in."
Lu Miao ran to the alley entrance and said there was something behind.
Fu Jingyou bent down and looked around, piled up the quilts in the car, and moved a bag of rice to under the co-pilot's feet, freeing up a lot of space.
"You can still pretend."
"That's what I said~"
Lu Miao became happy and ran back with a "da da da" sound.
The cart was fully loaded and wobbled as it set off from Dongcheng to Xierqingta Hutong.
When they arrived, Lu Miao walked ahead to take Tang Mei and the child home.
"I don't know if the varnish on the doors and windows has dried yet. Auntie, please keep an eye on them and don't let them touch it, or they'll get it in their mouths."
"And that water pressure well was just built today. It can't be used until it's dry tomorrow, so it can't be used now."
"Oh, oh, great... This yard is really spacious. I thought it wasn't big enough."
Tang Mei walked into the yard holding Ming Xia, turning her head to look around.
Lu Miao chuckled, led her into the house, and put Mingyi on the kang.
"Aunt, you will live in this room from now on. Now you can sit with the child for a while. I will go move the things. We can talk about the rest when I come back."
"You watch the child, I'll go move it!"
Tang Mei refused, but Lu Miao was already standing in the yard. "It's not much, I'll go."
Tang Mei had no choice but to stay and look after the child.
In just a short while, Xiao Mingyi had already walked tremblingly to the bed on the inner side of the kang.
Seeing that the little hand was about to climb onto the window, Tang Mei quickly pulled him back.
"Little ancestor, let's not touch that for now."
Little Mingyi stood on the kang, stamping his feet and muttering:
"No, no, no."
"Yes~ Let's not touch it yet. Let's sit down and rest for a while until mom comes back."
Tang Mei bent down and carried Mingxia onto the kang.
Lu Miao went to the end of the alley.
Fu Jingyou moved the car a little to the side to make sure it would not block other people's way. Then someone came over and asked him to move the car.
He opened the car door and trunk and let Lu Miao stand beside the car to look at things.
Fu Jingyou moved things back and forth to the courtyard swiftly.
When they got home, they first placed everything in the main hall. After the move was completed, Lu Miao went home to pack up, and Fu Jingyou returned the car to his father-in-law.
The old man guarding the school gate didn't know Fu Jingyou, but he knew the principal's car.
I thought Fu Jingyou was the principal's new driver hired during the start of the school year.
The gatekeeper didn't ask any questions. He quickly pulled out the heavy iron bolt and trotted to open the gate to let them in.
There were only new students in the school, let alone knowing Fu Jingyou.
The principal's office was on the fifth floor. Fu Jingyou went upstairs and knocked on the door, but no one was inside.
Fu Jingyou looked around. It was noisy downstairs, but there were not many people on this floor.
He pressed the door handle and pushed the door open and walked into the office.
He placed the key on the Lenin quotations in the middle of the table, turned around, closed the door, and went home.
With Tang Mei's help at home, Lu Miao cleaned up quickly.
She also put on cotton gloves and went to the kitchen to stack the pile of honeycomb coal she brought with her.
When Fu Jingyou came back, Lu Miao had just finished talking to Tang Mei about the things that were still missing.
Now that I have few things, I am not in a hurry to buy cabinets and cupboards, but I do need decent tables and chairs.
Then you also need to buy rice jars, rice buckets and other things.
It's not enough to just put the rations in bags, as the rats will come when they smell the scent.
"Also, we're short of oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar."
Fu Jingyou nodded and wrote them down one by one.
"Go to the scrap yard and see if you can figure out how to get the tables and chairs out. I'll go to the alley and ask where the grain and oil station is."
"I still have some tickets. I'm going to buy all the small ingredients and get my dad's supply back... Today is the last day. If I don't do it now, it will expire this month."
"good."
The young couple separated at the door.
Fu Jingyou walked towards the market.
Lu Miao walked towards the other end of the alley, where there was a lot of noise.
Whether before or after she traveled through time, she rarely came into contact with people living in alleys and lanes.
Especially after the incident where Mingxia was injured a while ago, her resistance to people in this area has only increased.
We may not be able to generalize, but there are indeed quite a few people with low quality in certain groups.
Lu Miao stood at the entrance of the alley, watching a few women in gray coats washing clothes and chatting not far away, hesitating whether to go forward.
At this moment, a heavenly sound suddenly came to my ears:
"Sister-in-law Xiao Fu!"
It's plums.
Lu Miao looked back and breathed a sigh of relief.
Mei Zi is okay, she doesn’t hate this girl for the time being.
"Did you go picking up coal cores again today?"
"Yes, Sister-in-law Xiao Fu."
Mei Zi's hands and face were dirty. She carried the broken basket and weighed it, feeling very happy.
"Although the weather isn't that cold anymore, the coal cores we pick up can still be used to boil water and cook. If we don't cook, we can save them and use them later."
"Sister-in-law Xiao Fu, why are you standing here? Is there any work you need done?"
Mei Zi's eyes were sparkling with anticipation.
Lu Miao smiled awkwardly and shook his head:
"No... I just got here and don't know where the grain and oil station is. I was looking for someone to ask for directions."
"Grain and oil station! Oh, that's not close!"
Mei Zi exclaimed in surprise.
The distance was long, and it was hard to tell where we were. Mei Zi ran towards Xiaoyong Lane with her basket.
"Sister-in-law Xiao Fu, wait for me for a moment. I'll go back and put the things down. I'll come over to take you there later!"
“Hey!”
Lu Miao nodded, "Thank you, Meizi."
Mei Zi quickly returned, ran to Lu Miao, and led her out of the alley.
Lu Miao was familiar with most of the journey because it was her way to school.
The only difference is that when you exit the alley area, the school should turn left and the grain and oil station should turn right.
When I got there I found out that there was a textile factory nearby.
Mei Zi told me that Beijing Normal University is right here.
Lu Miao nodded thoughtfully.
She vaguely remembered that Gu Ying seemed to have been admitted to Beijing University of Peking.
The family was short of bottles and jars, liquid seasonings, etc., so Lu Miao bought the bottles directly at the grain and oil station, charging an extra two cents each.
Salt is also sold here.
Lu Miao bought them all at once so that he wouldn't have to go to the market to get some retail outlets.
Apart from oil, compared with other seasonings, salt does not require a ticket, but it is the most expensive, costing 1.5 cents per pound.
One pound can last for a long time, so Lu Miao asked for one pound directly.
Afterwards, she took Lu Yuanzheng's grain and oil book to the window to get it stamped and pay the money. The people at the grain and oil station confirmed with her whether she wanted rice or flour, and then started weighing the grain.
Lu Miao didn’t have any pockets, so he got it from the grain and oil station.
