Chapter 499: I observe the situation and can enter
Lu Miao immediately opened the envelope.
It begins with three big characters "Zhan Xinjia", followed by a series of apologies.
Geng Xiaoyun said in the letter that most of the school courses require students to go out and run around every day.
I am so busy that I feel like I am traveling all over the world. I am very sorry that I wrote to you only at this time.
Geng Xiaoyun briefly talked about the recent academic progress of herself and her brother, and then expressed her gratitude repeatedly.
She thanks Lu Miao for securing a university place for her brother, and also thanks Lu Miao for helping her with her studies.
All the elders in the Geng family said that the two siblings had a bright future and encouraged them to visit each other more often and keep in touch.
A lot of polite and impolite words were said.
Geng Xiaoyun explained that the contents of the package were all local specialties from her hometown, and asked Lu Miao to distribute them to his family.
Afterwards, she even wrote down a letter expressing her expectation that Lu Miao would write back to her, and also tactfully apologized in advance.
She has been away for classes, so her reply may not be timely.
I hope Lu Miao doesn't mind.
…
After reading the letter, Lu Miao put the pages back into the envelope.
Except for one Gu Ying, she knew that she was from the Beijing Normal University next door.
She didn't know the exact school addresses of several other old friends.
She was quite surprised that Geng Xiaoyun had written to her, and had sent such a large package...
Looking at the time the letter was sent, more than half a month has passed. I don’t know if it’s broken?
Lu Miao stuffed the letter into his canvas school bag and opened his small umbrella.
Carrying the heavy package, I hurried home while thinking about replying to the letter.
With the experience of the first semester, this registration went quite smoothly.
Fu Jingyou had a bicycle and arrived home before Lu Miao.
When Lu Miao turned out of the alley, he saw the courtyard gate wide open and Fu Jingyou was pulling something with someone.
"No, I won't do it now."
"Why haven't you rested yet? Brother Xiao Fu, aren't you busy now? They are all neighbors..."
It seemed like a neighbor came to him to ask him to fix something.
Lu Miao stepped onto the doorstep: "What's wrong?"
"Little Sister Fu, it's just right that you're back!"
When the elder brother in the alley saw Lu Miao, he quickly said:
"How about you try to persuade him? My radio is broken, and the vendor outside said it would only cost two dollars to fix it, and they might not even be able to fix it..."
The eldest brother's eyes moved back and forth between the young couple:
"Brother Xiao Fu, if you're not busy, could you spare some time to help me take a look?"
Lu Miao raised his eyes to look at Fu Jingyou.
He used to often help his neighbors in the alley fix things, but this time he didn't agree to do it. He must have something else going on and it was inconvenient for him.
Lu Miao turned his eyes away and politely declined.
The package in her hand was suddenly taken over by the man in the family.
Fu Jingyou pursed his lips and said:
"Then you can take it, but I promised, I won't give it to Bai Xiu either. If you repair it, you have to give me two kilograms of rice."
I used to earn money working at the ice factory to supplement my life.
Repairing things for others is just a way to practice and accumulate proficiency, so I don’t force myself to report or anything like that.
Now the work at the ice factory is gone, and there is no way to make money.
He has a large family to support, so he can no longer be so ruthless as before...
Two kilograms of rice cost less than fifty cents, but it costs two dollars to repair it outside!
The big brother in the alley immediately smiled and nodded:
"Okay, okay! No problem, I'll go get the radio and bring it to you in a minute!"
Fu Jingyou nodded, made room at the door, and after his wife came in, he closed the gate.
This was not his usual style. Lu Miao put away his umbrella, bent down by the well to wash his hands, and said:
"I thought you didn't have time, so why didn't you fix it when you had time?"
“…”
The last time he encountered the widow Liao in Maomao Hutong, Fu Jingyou was scared.
He was worried that some bad people would come and cause some trouble.
But, is this something that can be mentioned?
Of course not.
Not only could he not say it, Fu Jingyou was also worried and was quite afraid that his wife would ask about it.
I can repair things for people in the future, but I will never come to their homes again.
Send it here if you want it repaired.
"No, I just got my new textbooks. I thought I'd take some time to read before class starts and do some prep."
He used to love studying professional books. Lu Miao didn't suspect anything, just shook his hand, nodded, and went into the house.
"What's in this bag?"
"Geng Xiaoyun sent it to the school, saying it was a local specialty."
"Then there must be dried snow frog."
Fu Jingyou put the package on the big table in the main hall and unwrapped it to look at it.
The large cloth package contained several sealed brown paper bags.
Lu Miao opened them one by one and found that he had guessed it right.
Three large bags of dried snow clams, one large bag of deer antler slices, and one large bag of Codonopsis pilosula slices.
This gift is quite substantial.
Fu Jingyou asked, holding a paper bag of deer antler slices and codonopsis slices:
"How do you eat these?"
"Take two or three slices and soak them in water to drink, or add some to soup."
Lu Miao was thinking about what to give as a suitable return gift, and replied casually.
Fu Jingyou nodded thoughtfully.
Lu Miao didn't notice and he grabbed a handful and took them away.
After hastily putting away his things, Lu Miao went into the house and took out a few pieces of letter paper.
I wrote a few sheets and tore a few more, and only gradually calmed down after I finished writing.
In the letter, Lu Miao sincerely thanked Geng Xiaoyun, saying that he had appreciated their friendship and asked her not to send such expensive gifts in the future.
Afterwards, she chattered about her recent situation and pulled out a photo of her with her eldest and second child.
It was originally going to be put in an envelope, but after thinking it over, Lu Miao unfolded the letter again and added a sentence at the end.
——I observe the situation and it is gold, so we can enter.
Lu Miao didn't dare to write too obviously, so he just mentioned it briefly and sealed the envelope.
She went out to mail the letter and happened to meet the big brother who came to deliver the radio.
Nodding as a greeting, Lu Miao turned into the box.
When I returned from the nearby post office, Fu Jingyou was sitting in the main room, having already unscrewed the small screws and removed the radio casing.
Shi An went to school.
Dabao and Erbao are sleeping in the room over there with their grandma.
There were only two of them in the main room.
Lu Miao sat down in front of Fu Jingyou across the table:
"Brother You, let me discuss something with you."
"Um?"
"I want to use Shi An's money to make some investments."
Jingshi has its own specialties, but compared to what Geng Xiaoyun sent, there is really nothing decent to show off.
Lu Miao had been thinking about this just now.
After thinking about it, I thought of gold.
No matter what time it is, gold is the best way to preserve its value.
The price of gold is right in this era, and investing in gold is a sure-win business.
She hinted at Geng Xiaoyun in the letter, but whether Geng Xiaoyun could understand it depended on herself.
Now that I think about it, Lu Miao himself has also started to think about this.
Fu Jingyou paused and looked up.
He frowned slightly and said nothing.
Lu Miao knew what he meant.
I said from the beginning that the money was for Shi An, they would not touch it, and they could not touch it...
"I want to use this money, not for ourselves, but for Shi An."
Lu Miao said seriously:
"Two thousand yuan left unused will still be two thousand yuan ten or twenty years from now."
