Chapter 479: Hypocrisy
He Hongjin waved his hands, unwilling to say more:
"If you can't control it, then forget it!"
Obviously, the old couple had intervened before.
This time I came back, I just wanted to see the old couple and make them happy.
Seeing that He Hongjin's breath had subsided, Lu Miao understood and said nothing more.
Handing the small bundle of hair ties to Minjie, Lu Miao said:
"Keep it. Remember to give it to your sister Minmin when you see her again."
"I understand, little auntie. Thank you, little auntie."
Minjie said sensibly.
Lu Miao laughed, touched his head gently, turned around and continued to tinker with the radio on the table.
He Hongjin took two steps closer and pretended to stare at the radio intently.
In fact, his eyebrows are rough, and the center of his eyebrows is always wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character.
Lu Miao knew that those words just now still made him upset.
There's nothing I can do about it.
The words have been spoken and cannot be taken back.
I can only watch it later and let the child’s father have dinner and a few drinks with him.
Have a good chat, help them resolve their problems, and see if you can make them feel better.
Lu Miao glanced at the instruction manual and taught He Hongjin how to tune the radio. Fu Jingyou just happened to come back from opening the window over there.
He walked into the house, pushed the bicycle against the wall in the main room and went out.
He Hongjin hurriedly said:
"I haven't even had time to catch my breath yet, what are you doing now?"
"I'll just buy something and come back soon. It's very fast on a bicycle."
"What to buy? Who knows if we have it at home?"
Fu Jingyou pretended not to hear and didn't reply.
"The meal will be ready soon. We can eat later. Why do we have to go now?"
He Hongjin was confused.
Lu Miao understood and agreed:
"Let's go after dinner. Get some water so I can wash Dabao and Erbao's hands."
"good."
Fu Jingyou went to fetch water.
Lu Miao washed his face first, changed the water, and then carried the two children over.
Minjie followed behind him.
After Lu Miao finished washing Dabao and Erbao, he hugged Min Jie, held his dark and thin little hands, and washed them as well.
They hadn't seen each other for a while, so they felt a little unfamiliar. Minjie dodged and felt a little uncomfortable.
Lu Miao wiped his hands carefully with a face towel, and asked with a gentle smile:
"Auntie washed your hands like this before, do you remember?"
Minjie scratched the side of his head and nodded shyly:
"Remember."
"little things."
Lu Miao touched his head, patted it gently, and said with a smile:
"Okay, let's go inside and eat."
Minjie nodded vaguely and trotted away.
Lu Miao chuckled softly, poured the water in the basin, hung the small towel on the clothesline, and followed him into the house.
It was shortly after lunch time and the food on the He family’s stove was still hot.
Chen Guifen cooked two bowls of noodles and stewed a few sugared eggs.
Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou ate one each and gave one to Minjie.
There were two eggs and a little sweet soup left. After finishing the meal, Lu Miao slowly scooped them up with a small spoon and fed them to the two children.
Fu Jingyou calmed down and went to buy some vanishing cream as his wife requested.
He has long legs and pedals fast. After one round trip, Lu Miao had just finished feeding the child and took a short rest to calm down.
I plan to go to the Fu family to prepare a place to stay for the night.
No one has lived in the Fu family's house for a long time. All the things have been put away and are covered with dust.
Chen Guifen went over to help clean up, and since the child needed someone to take care of him, He Hongjin said he would go too.
As soon as the whole family arrived at the gate of the yard, Fu Jingyou rushed back on his bicycle.
He said he wanted to buy something and left in a hurry.
Now I come back empty-handed again.
He Hongjin saw it and was confused while holding the child:
"Where are your purchases?"
Fu Jingyou smiled and said nothing.
He took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to his wife.
The couple was quick in their intercourse, but He Hongjin still saw them.
He Hongjin's face darkened as he grumbled and scolded:
"He's so spoiled and pretentious. He just came back. What's wrong with letting him rest for a while? Why ask him to buy vanishing cream now?"
Lu Miao pouted and turned a deaf ear to him.
What's wrong with being pretentious?
She has been acting pretentiously for more than just one or two days.
Besides, she wasn't trying to make things difficult for the child's father. She was just buying some vanishing cream.
I bought it because she posted it on social media.
He Hongjin hummed, holding the child and walked forward without saying anything.
Fu Jingyou pushed his bicycle into the yard and whispered to Lu Miao as he passed by:
"Don't bother with uncle, he has that kind of temper."
Lu Miao nodded barely audibly.
She already knew He Hongjin's temper.
He has a tough mouth and a bad temper, but he has a good heart.
He is the elder and likes to lecture people, which is inevitable.
She didn't understand it before, so she always went against him.
Now that you have understood it thoroughly, why bother talking so hard?
After a while of tugging and pulling, he was upset and she was also angry.
As Lu Miao was thinking, he heard voices coming from the front.
A sister-in-law at the door heard that Fu Jingyou had returned and was sent out by Lu Miao to buy cold cream without even sitting down. She also said that he was being pretentious.
When He Hongjin heard this, his face suddenly turned serious. He stopped and said with a "tsk".
"She's being hypocritical because Xiaoliu is in charge. She's spending Xiaoliu's money. Did she spend your money? So you're being hypocritical?"
“…”
The sister-in-law's face froze, she was speechless, thinking:
You just said you were being pretentious!
After all, she was uncomfortable with He Hongjin being the captain, so the sister-in-law didn't say much. She smiled awkwardly for a while, then turned around and walked away.
At the Fu family's side, the vegetable patch in the backyard had long been abandoned, and a lot of weeds had grown in the yard.
He Hongjin asked Lu Miao to look after the children, and he found a hoe and sickle and went to the back to clean up with Fu Jingyou.
Otherwise, there might be dirt hidden deep in the grass, which might cause someone to step on or get bitten, which would be a waste of time.
While busy, He Hongjin kept muttering about Fu Jingyou:
"I'm usually too busy with school to send letters. Now that I'm almost home, why didn't you tell me in advance? Otherwise, wouldn't you have packed all this up long ago?"
"It's the same whether I collect it now or not. It's just this little bit."
"snort."
Fu Jingyou shook his head and smiled silently.
He Hongjin worked silently with a stern face, and then chatted with him:
"How are you doing in your studies there? What have you learned?"
"I studied electromechanics and motors."
Fu Jingyou paused for a moment, fearing that he would not understand if he spoke too deeply, so he simply changed the subject:
"The water pumps in Yanji, I've seen them before, they're similar to those things."
He Hongjin nodded and fell silent.
He didn't say anything, but Fu Jingyou became curious:
"Why didn't you ask me how I was getting along with Miaomiao's family in Beijing?"
"Ask? What are you asking? Why do you even need to ask this?"
He Hongjin cursed and kicked him:
"You'd be better off being honest and proper as before. You're getting worse and worse. It seems like you've spoiled me. You've been so good to me, making me cocky and full of myself. You've brought out these naughty habits!"
“…”
Fu Jingyou pursed his lips and scratched his head while holding the hoe.
This time it was his turn to remain silent.
I want to say something but I don't know what to say. My aunt really spoils them.
There is no way to refute this.
He stood there without working, so He Hongjin kicked him again:
"What? After six months of drinking ink, you can't even wield a hoe anymore?"
