Chapter 644: Small Workshop
Lu Miao rested his chin on his shoulder and immediately felt his depression.
Under normal circumstances, if he wanted to play around, he would peck at her face like a woodpecker.
But it won't be like now.
"Hey, what's wrong~"
She hugged him back and coaxed him softly:
"I was just joking, and you took it seriously? Huh?"
Fu Jingyou nudged her neck without saying a word.
"I know you miss me, I won't let myself down. If you really like me, I'll stay."
Lu Miao smiled softly, and as he usually did when coaxing her, his soft hands continued to gently stroke his back:
"Our living conditions are gradually improving, and we don't need the money we need to buy things anymore, right?"
"Um."
Fu Jingyou nodded dully.
"Okay, turn off the lights and go to bed."
Lu Miao stood up from his arms, gave him a loud "boo" on the face, straightened the pillow and lay down first:
"My stomach is always bulging and my waist is so sore~"
Fu Jingyou softened his expression, pulled down the light cord, and lay down beside her, saying lovingly:
"Turn sideways, I'll rub it for you."
"Hmm~"
The moon is dim and the stars are sparse in the night sky, and the young couple snuggles tightly in the house.
The atmosphere is warm, the emotions are intense, and a powerful, invisible force emerges, silently and unwaveringly supporting each other...
…
As Lu Miao grew older, Fu Jingyou put aside everything except his school studies.
In my spare time, I take care of my family.
In addition to picking up and dropping off my wife from school every day, daily companionship, massaging her feet and rubbing her waist are all indispensable.
He took care of everything, and Lu Miao was in a relaxed mood every day.
Normally, as pregnancy progresses, I tend to become irritable, easily depressed, but this time I didn’t experience any of those symptoms.
Sometimes the couple would take their children out for a walk, and the neighbors in the alley would be amazed when they saw them.
After all, let alone raising them well, even the livelihood issue is a mess for every family.
It’s hard enough for normal people, let alone a pregnant woman who has to do housework?
This Fu family is really extraordinary.
It's not enough for a man to just be capable, but he also loves his wife so much...
Many women in the alleys who knew the Fu family well privately envied Lu Miao.
How many women can be spoiled and pampered like a daughter by their husbands?
This Baoer mother is not only beautiful and blessed, but also capable and resourceful.
The outside world was talking about it, but the young couple of the Fu family was unaware of it.
On the way back from the nearby park, I happened to meet Mei Zi at the end of the alley.
Lu Miao waved and called out, "Meizi, this way!"
"Little Sister Fu!?"
Mei Zi responded and trotted towards her.
"What's wrong, Sister-in-law Xiao Fu?"
Mei Zi asked as she approached.
Lu Miao had never deliberately inquired about Mei Zi's situation.
However, at the beginning of spring, I heard some news from the neighbors' casual chats.
It is said that Mei Zi's parents died early, and she began to depend on her cousin at the age of seven.
Later, when she was fourteen years old, her cousin died in a work-related accident at the boiler factory, and Mei Zi began to depend on her cousin's wife.
The person who always stood in the alley and scolded Mei Zi was Mei Zi's sister-in-law.
At the end of last year, when Mei Zi turned seventeen, her sister-in-law remarried.
Many people in the alley were talking about the right and wrong of Sister Mei Zi, but Lu Miao felt that one should not just look at the surface of things.
Every family has its own genealogy and every family has its own scriptures.
Although Mei Zi's sister-in-law beat and scolded her, she also gave her food to eat.
Now that Mei Zi has grown up, her sister-in-law has remarried to another family, which can be considered a kind act.
If it were someone more heartless, she would have packed up and left long ago when her husband died, regardless of whether she went back to her parents' home or remarried.
Without a diploma and no connections, it is almost impossible to find a job in the city.
It’s hard to support myself, who would keep such a grown-up girl by his side?
Because of the divorce from her sister-in-law, Mei Zi's life seems even more dilapidated.
Not only did his clothes have more patches than before, but his already thin face was now even more sallow and almost unrecognizable.
The reason why Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou thought of Mei Zi at the beginning was because Mei Zi was a nice person.
In the past, I often went to the yard to help Tang Mei.
It helped them a lot.
Now she urgently needs a way to survive, and Lu Miao has a way, so he is naturally willing to provide it to her.
"Is there something? Can we talk while we walk?"
"good."
It was inconvenient to talk outside, so Lu Miao walked behind Fu Jingyou and the children and went home with Mei Zi.
When they got home, Lu Miao poured Mei Zi a glass of water, took a few hairpins and hair ties, sat down and slowly explained the situation to her.
"That's it. It's not difficult to make. I can teach you. Once you've learned it, come over to me and I'll pay you."
"This...Sister-in-law Xiao Fu, can I do this?"
Mei Zi really wanted to try it, but she was afraid that her clumsiness would waste Lu Miao's time.
Lu Miao smiled and said, "If it works, we'll know if we try it."
Anyway, it won’t work if you don’t try.
Lu Miao thought about it and said:
"But let me make this clear first. As you know, private transactions are not allowed outside. So this matter can only be kept between you and us, and no one else can know."
Mei Zi's eyes were full of alertness and she nodded rapidly.
Mei Zi was young and it was her first time dealing with such a thing. She had no idea what to ask and what not to ask.
Lu Miao wouldn't cheat her, so he told her right up front:
"For now, these are the only two things I can give you. Once you've learned how to make them, I'll charge you based on the quantity. 1.5 cents each. Is that okay with you?"
"Okay, Sister-in-law Xiaofu."
Mei Zi nodded seriously.
She used to wash clothes for her sister-in-law in the alley, sometimes only earning five cents for a whole morning of washing.
Xiao Fu's sister-in-law said this was easy and she would even teach her how to use the sewing machine.
Once she learns how to use the sewing machine, it will be even easier to make them. She can make at least thirty or forty pieces a day.
Mei Zi had never been to school. She calculated for a long time how much she could earn for doing forty pieces, and finally worked out that it was sixty cents.
To earn sixty cents, she would have to pick up a lot of coal cores and wash a lot of clothes for others.
When Mei Zi thought about earning 60 cents a day, her eyes lit up with joy and she nodded stupidly:
"Sister-in-law Xiao Fu, I will definitely study hard, I will definitely study hard!"
"Then let's start tomorrow. I'll have classes tomorrow morning and be at home in the afternoon."
Seeing her sincerity and her embarrassment, Lu Miao smiled wistfully and said:
"Come over tomorrow afternoon and bring a set of bowls and chopsticks. When you come to work in the future, you can eat here at noon. You can eat whatever you eat at home."
When Mei Zi heard this, tears of gratitude welled up in her eyes.
Everyone in the alley knows that the food at the Fu family is extremely good.
Whenever there was the smell of meat in the alley, it was coming from the Fu family.
"People often say that one shouldn't bend over backwards for a bowl of rice, but my sister-in-law probably knows my situation."
Mei Zi rubbed the corners of her eyes and said:
"Sister-in-law helped me, so she is my benefactor. From now on, I will listen to whatever she says or asks me to do!"
