Chapter 690: A Match Made in Heaven
Fu Jingyou bent down, his strong and tall figure patted Lu Miao's shoulder and kept instructing him:
"If you need anything else, just call me, I'll be right there."
"Oh, I see. Go ahead!"
With so many eyes watching him, Lu Miao's face turned slightly red, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Fu Jingyou nodded, touched Dabao and Erbao, and then touched Shi'an's head.
He told Shi An to keep an eye on his younger siblings and not to cause trouble, and only went next door after everything was settled here.
There were also two tables for female guests. After everyone looked at the children, they sat down again.
There are no special requirements for the seats except that the old and the young are separated, the young sit together, and the old sit with the old.
Liu Wenpei and Gu Ying stood next to Lu Miao on the left and right.
Recalling what Fu Jingyou said just now, Gu Ying leaned close to Lu Miao and whispered:
"You two are so interesting to talk to. Why are you calling the bottle "bottle milk"?
Lu Miao smiled and explained:
"There was one time when I was stunned. The words got stuck in my throat and I couldn't remember how to say it. After a long while, I finally managed to utter 'bottle bottle milk'. My family thought it was funny and started shouting it too."
Gu Ying smiled and nodded:
“I think it’s very interesting.”
Lu Miao smiled and asked her how far she and Xie Fei had progressed.
Gu Ying's cheeks flushed, she felt a little embarrassed, and after a moment's hesitation, she whispered to her:
"I just went to his house before the exams... My uncle and aunt wanted to see if my parents would come over during the holiday before school starts, or if they would go over to discuss things and finalize the engagement first, then discuss the next steps."
Lu Miao hummed thoughtfully, his eyes sweeping over Yang Yun at the opposite table.
Yang Yun has always been worried about Xie Fei's marriage.
If the two families meet and get engaged during the summer, then Gu Ying and Xie Fei's relationship will probably be settled before the New Year.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Gu Ying gently pushed her:
"Isn't it too fast?"
Lu Miao came back to his senses and said with a smile:
"Can anyone be faster than me?"
She was returning to the south from northern Beijing at the time, and she got a marriage certificate with Fu Jingyou after just a few words.
Gu Ying looked at her reproachfully:
"You said that. The educated youths at that time were discussing this matter. They all said you were too careless... Fortunately, it seems now that he is a good person."
Lu Miao smiled slightly and said firmly:
"I knew he was a good man, so I chose him."
Gu Ying was stunned, not knowing where she got this definition from.
Lu Miao didn't care and shook the child to comfort her:
"Don't be too flustered. After all, the two families will meet to see what the parents think. If you think it's okay and both parents think it's reliable, there's nothing wrong with getting it done quickly."
In this era, even if you seriously look for a matchmaker to meet someone, you only need to meet once before the wedding.
Xie Fei and Gu Ying were already familiar with each other when they went to the countryside.
After so many years, to be able to reach this point, the two of them must recognize each other.
Besides, the two of them were chosen by God and a match made in heaven.
Lu Miao felt that the probability of something going wrong was low.
Gu Ying nodded slightly.
The idea is actually similar to Lu Miao's.
They have a close but not distant friendship. She has been with Xie Fei for so many years, so she knows him quite well.
Being with Xie Fei is much better than a blind marriage.
Moreover, perhaps it is because of my own personality and my decision to become a teacher in the future.
For Lu Miao, Lu Miao didn't like Xie Fei's arrogance.
But in Gu Ying's eyes, she can appreciate and tolerate it.
Gu Ying thought that Xie Fei came from a wealthy family and was well-educated.
It is normal to have some arrogance as a scholar.
She can accept it.
After being lost in thought for a while, Gu Ying seemed to have figured something out. She suddenly straightened up and laughed.
Lu Miao didn't care too much.
Because Tang Mei came over.
The family had a light and simple breakfast in the morning, and Lu Miao didn't eat much.
Tang Mei came over to take the child away, asked her to eat well, and then took over for her after she finished eating.
Lu Miao nodded, ate something quickly, and went to Tang Mei to bring the child back.
This time she adjusted her seat and no longer sat with Gu Ying and Liu Wenpei.
Teacher Tan was busy and couldn't come, but editor Xu Hongmei from the publishing house did come.
Lu Miao sat next to Xu Hongmei and held the child for her to see closely.
"The little guy is so chubby, he must be well fed."
Lu Miao laughed and said, "It's not all due to what he eats. He weighed 8.2 jin when he was born."
"Eight pounds and two ounces!"
Xu Hongmei widened her eyes:
"Wow, that's really rare!"
Lu Miao nodded: "That's what the doctor in the hospital said at the time."
The two chatted around the child for a while, and Xu Hongmei asked about Lu Miao's recent situation.
Find out how she is doing at the British Society and whether she is competent for the job.
Lu Miao replied:
"The work is okay, not as difficult as I imagined... But my health hasn't been very good since I got pregnant, so I haven't been there since."
Xu Hongmei sighed and said:
"I was thinking if you were stressed out or unhappy, you'd come back to me. Apparently, trying to steal your girl won't work."
Lu Miao was amused by her: "What are you talking about? I'm just an intern now, and it's hard to say whether I can make it through the internship period. If I can't make it, I will definitely come back to find you. Don't be disgusted by me then."
"What are you talking about?"
Xu Hongmei glared at her angrily.
Although I want her to come back to me.
But after being together for so long, the two of them have long been no different from friends.
Lu Miao is capable, so Xu Hongmei certainly hopes that she can have a better future.
"The book you translated last year will also be published this year, probably in the fall. I'll mail you a copy then."
"Yeah, okay."
…
The ladies' party ended early, in about an hour.
Finally, Mei Zi helped to carry the bag, and Lu Miao carried the child out of the private room. When he stood at the door, he took a look at the next room.
The child’s father’s cheeks and forehead were red as hell.
The elders teased him and asked him to drink, but he accepted all the offers.
After finally leaving the elders' table, Ling Yuan and Hu Yinglai pushed him down to the table below and forced him to drink.
Seeing that the person was dizzy, Lu Miao was a little worried.
She was standing at the door holding the child and Lu Yuanzheng saw her at a glance.
Lu Yuanzheng put down his wine cup and pointed to the door.
"I'll go and take a look."
The others nodded in understanding.
As soon as Lu Yuanzheng walked to the door, Lu Miao complained to him:
"They are all trying to get Brother You drunk, why don't you help stop them?"
Lu Yuanzheng also smelled of alcohol. He glanced at his little grandson and said in a calm voice:
"That's just how men are when they're drinking. Just keep an eye on him normally, but don't be so strict all the time. Doesn't he have some dignity?"
Lu Yuanzheng waved and called over the driver brought by his old friend who was sitting at the table outside the door. He took out the car keys and handed them over, saying:
"Nothing will happen with me watching. Show this young comrade the way and take the child home to rest. There's no need to stay here."
