Chapter 488: Protecting My Brother
Lu Miao recalled what Tang Mei said and slowly cut the fabric.
With a sewing machine in hand, I can quickly sew a neat short-sleeved shirt.
Children are wild and unruly, so they can’t wear plain colors.
After Lu Miao stepped on a white shirt, he called Zhou Shian in to try it on.
After confirming that there was no problem, I buttoned it up and put on two small black shirts.
Shirt fabric is not suitable for making pants. Fortunately, when Lu Miao bought the sewing machine, he bought a bunch of fabrics in a mess.
After searching around, he pulled out a piece of dark blue cloth.
Lu Miao cut a few pieces based on the shorts Zhou Shian had taken off.
After cutting the pants, he called Zhou Shian in to try them on.
After confirming that everything was correct, Lu Miao touched Zhou Shian's head and told him to go out and continue playing.
This afternoon, Lu Miao sat in front of the sewing machine and did nothing else.
I made a few sets of clothes for Zhou Shian and sewed some cartoon cats and puppies that I had sewn myself on them.
She selected the appropriate fabric and sewed a few tight-fitting shorts for the father and the children.
In those conservative times, women did not yet enjoy wearing fitted bras that restricted their breasts.
Lu Miao re-sewed two small vests according to his own size.
The one I wore before was sewn by me when I just got married to Fu Jingyou.
They all turned white after washing and lost some of their elasticity.
Now that you have new ones, you don’t need the old ones anymore.
Lu Miao was busy and by dinner time he had just finished stepping on a short-sleeved shirt.
She didn't know Lu Yuanzheng's size. She recalled the scenes of Lu Yuanzheng and Fu Jingyou standing together, and made it based on Fu Jingyou's size, and retracted it a little.
After folding the clothes and placing them on the bedside, Lu Miao left the room and sat at the table in the main hall to eat.
"School is out for the holidays, why is Dad still there alone? Let him come back and live with us."
Tang Mei said, "He's not the only one there. There are many people in the teachers' dormitory. Why are you worrying about him? If he wants to come back, just come back."
Lu Miao nodded: "I made a short-sleeved shirt for Dad and put it in the closet at the end of my kang. If he comes over, or if any of you go to school, remember to give it to him."
Fu Jingyou looked up and said, "Then I'll take it over. It's faster with a bicycle."
"That's fine. You can have him try it on when the time comes. If the size is right, I'll make him something else."
It’s okay if it’s a little bigger, it’s loose and cool to wear in summer.
It won’t work if it’s too small.
Lu Yuanzheng is different from Zhou Shian.
What Shi An can’t wear, is saved for Dabao and Erbao to wear later.
No one in the family has a body shape similar to Lu Yuanzheng.
If he can't wear it, no one else can wear it.
If I modify it and let Lu Miao wear it himself, it will be troublesome to do it later.
"good."
…
The summer of 1979, the second year after the resumption of the college entrance examination.
Many college teachers had to go to the countryside to supervise exams, so the current college students started their summer vacation half a month in advance.
This summer's summer vacation is exceptionally long.
Fu Jingyou has been in Beijing for so long, running back and forth between the two points every day, and he has not really been around Beijing much.
Lu Miao worked on the manuscript for several days in a row. When he had some free time, he took Fu Jingyou and their three children to visit the Temple of Heaven and the Forbidden City with their cameras.
Originally, they wanted to take Tang Mei along, but Tang Mei had been to these places before. Seeing that the couple could bring their child along, she waved her hand and refused to go.
Lu Miao thought it would be nice to let her rest at home for a day or two.
The Temple of Heaven Park is free, and the ticket price for the Forbidden City at this time is 50 cents for adults and 20 cents for children.
Children as old as Zhou Shian, Dabao and Erbao can just be carried in without buying tickets.
Many of the sections with "No Visitors Allowed" signs in later generations were open to the public in the Forbidden City at that time.
Lu Miao took photos of the father and children along the way.
Fu Jingyou occasionally replaces her.
A large number of ancient and majestic buildings stood before their eyes, but the children were too young to see much.
Fu Jingyou was really dazzled:
"The palace is so rich, why didn't they defeat him in the past?"
Lu Miao scolded him and laughed at him: "Why didn't you defeat them? If you hadn't defeated them, would there be the New China we have today?"
Fu Jingyou laughed and rubbed the back of his head:
"Too."
Although it is the 1970s, there are still many tourists in the Forbidden City.
There are also many local children and young people who come here for summer outings and strolls.
These people often come with military canteens and lunch boxes filled with food.
Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou didn't come empty-handed either.
In addition to water, I also brought some crispy cucumbers and tomatoes.
If you feel tired or the children are complaining about being hot, find a cool place to sit down and rest, and have something to eat.
It's just like going out for a walk.
Lu Miao actually doesn’t like going to places like this, but she feels it’s okay as long as she is with her children and family.
I'm also very happy.
Erbao drank some water, and Lu Miao heard the sound and asked:
"Do you want to go to the bathroom?"
Dabao and Erbao shook their heads.
Shi An didn't say anything.
Lu Miao touched his head and asked him alone:
"Shi An, do you want to go to the bathroom? Ask your uncle to take you there."
Shi An nodded his chin, his eyes slowly turning around and looking around without saying a word.
I still haven't recovered from it. After Zhou Hong's accident, the little guy has not been as lively as before.
Lu Miao took him into his arms, caressed him gently, and said to Fu Jingyou:
"Just now, I saw a sign for the restroom over there. Take him with you."
Fu Jingyou nodded and wanted to hug Zhou Shian.
Zhou Shian shook his head, held his hand with his little hand, and jogged after him.
Under the shade of the tree, Dabao sat next to his mother's legs, biting half a cucumber with gentle concentration.
Erbao sat in his mother's arms, hugged his mother's neck and asked softly:
"Mom, why hasn't Brother Shi'an smiled lately? I haven't seen Uncle Zhou either."
"Uncle Zhou went to a very far place, and your brother Shi An couldn't bear to let him go, so he stopped smiling... Dabao and Erbao have to protect their brother and get along well with him, okay?"
Dabao was so focused on biting the cucumber that he didn't know if he heard it or not.
Erbao nodded seriously and asked again:
"Uncle Zhou went to a very far place. Will he come back in the future?"
“…I’ll be back.”
Lu Miao paused, touched Erbao's head and coaxed him:
"But before Uncle Zhou comes back, baby can't mention Uncle Zhou in front of Brother Shi An, okay?"
Erbao's dark eyes rolled around as he nodded vaguely.
Dabao also leaned over, his little mouth dripping with drool:
"Mom, mom, my sister is Xia Xia, and my baby is my baby."
Dabao has always been generous in other matters, but he is extremely stubborn when it comes to calling me "baby".
"Okay, Dabao is the baby."
Lu Miao laughed helplessly and wiped Dabao's saliva.
After kissing the two children one by one, Fu Jingyou just came back with Zhou Shian.
Lu Miao treated Zhou Shian equally and pecked him on the little face.
Zhou Shian felt a little shy and embarrassed, but that embarrassment was soon completely wiped out by Erbao's calls of "brother is taller" and "brother is shorter".
After tidying up the resting place, the family walked around for a while, and after enduring the hottest time of the midday sun, they went home.
