Chapter 764: Further Study Opportunities
According to Lu Miao's instructions, Lu Yuanzheng got some bricks and yellow mud and built a brick and earthen kiln for stewing and baking in the corner of the yard.
While he was busy running in and out of the house, Lu Miao was also busy.
Leaving the child with Tang Mei, Lu Miao took Mei Zi to several nearby supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores and bought a lot of spices and seasonings.
Some other small items for the Spring Festival were also purchased in advance.
To avoid having to rush during peak hours and squeeze with the crowd.
In the north, the Little New Year falls on the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month. On the 22nd day, people hold New Year's banquets in the courtyard.
During the Spring Festival last year, all the relatives and friends of the Lu family knew that Lu Yuanzheng and Tang Mei had come to live in Xi'er with their children.
So this time, there were quite a few people coming to the courtyard to enjoy the New Year's wine.
Lu Miao knew some of them, but had no impression of others. He was led by his family elders to get to know them again.
There were also a few children at home.
Chen Pan, the granddaughter of President Chen of Peking University, is seven years old this year and is the oldest among the girls.
Then there are the two grandsons of the Nie family. One is called Nie Yunge, who came to the courtyard last time.
One of them is called Nie Yunting, and this is his first time coming back.
As soon as we entered the yard, we saw Erbao holding his hand, his younger sister was taller than him and his younger sister was shorter than him.
Lu Miao originally thought that the two children of the Nie family were biological brothers.
Later, when I saw that the two people had completely different personalities, one had a rosy complexion, while the other was weak and thin, I realized something was wrong.
After asking Tang Mei, I found out that the two children were not biological brothers, but their father was.
As a mother, Lu Miao actually can't bear to see her children being wronged.
Seeing that Nie Yunge was not sociable, she calmly called her two children to her side and silently told them to bring their brother to play together.
Be humble and friendly in dealing with each other.
Just like when you are with Brother Shi An as usual.
The two little ones nodded obediently.
Among them, Xiao Mingxia is the most serious.
Just like Brother Shi An, they are all my brothers.
The little girl misunderstood.
Recalling the scenes of the three brothers and sisters carrying each other on their backs, hugging each other, holding hands, and kissing each other, I thought that since he was my brother, they could do the same.
After playing for a while, he pulled the depressed little boy and kissed him directly on the face.
Nie Yunge stood there with his face covered, looking at the little dumpling in horror and confusion.
The little dumpling is white and tender, smiling innocently, and looks like a little sun.
She pulled him aside, her voice soft and sweet:
"Brother, I'll take you to pick strawberries. They're sour and sweet, and they're delicious~"
Nie Yunge was stunned and shocked. He touched his face with one hand and let her pull him away with the other.
Lu Miao marinated the lamb legs last night and heated up the oven this morning.
The lamb legs were placed on an iron plate and put into the oven to be roasted. At noon, everyone arrived one by one and the fragrant lamb legs were just out of the oven.
She sliced the lamb leg and brought it to the table, and the elders sat down to drink New Year's wine and chat.
She scooped some flour, added sugar and milk powder, added water and kneaded it.
After heating the oven again, Lu Miao, Mei Zi and the children went outside to bake small loaves of bread according to the time.
Mei Zi was called by Lu Miao.
She was just a little girl and couldn't eat much. What's more, she lived alone and the room was very cold without a kang.
After winter came, Lu Miao simply asked her to come here and stay as usual.
It was the first time for the children to come into contact with and participate in baking bread, and they were all very curious.
Even Nie Yunge was mobilized.
Although we were outdoors, we were sitting around the barbecue grill and it was warm so we didn't feel cold.
After making a group of children happy, Lu Miao brought some milky-smelling bread and took the children into the house, where he overheard the gossip of the elders.
It's about the Ling family.
Speaking of the Ling family, Lu Miao looked around.
She was busy playing with the children just now, and only now she realized that her family was having a New Year's party and no one from the Ling family was coming.
How to say it?
A bit unexpected.
Lu Miao thought about it for a while, wondering if what she said to Ling Yuan that day was a bit too unkind, so no one from the Ling family came.
As a result, when I was sitting at the table eating and listening to the elders' continuous chatter, I realized that it was not the case.
"Where's Xiao Fu? Why haven't I seen this person?"
Chen Rivet asked about Fu Jingyou's whereabouts. Lu Yuanzheng took a sip of wine and told him frankly:
"I went back to my hometown in the south. The household registration of my two children was transferred here. There were some problems with the homestead back there. This time, I went back home to renovate the house."
Nie Jinpeng glanced at Lu Miao and the children and said:
"It's Chinese New Year now, why didn't Xiaobao and the other kids go back with us?"
"Xiao Fu is considerate. It's better for the mothers not to go back. Not to mention that the children are still crying and it's not easy for them to go back. After they go back, the house will be full of dust and tiles from repairs..."
After Chen Rivet knew what was going on, he continued:
"The kid doesn't know anything. What if he bumps into something again?"
Lu Yuanzheng nodded.
That's the truth.
The father-in-law was also happy to see his son-in-law being praised. He immediately took the wine cup and took another sip with a smile in his eyes.
Nie Jinpeng's mind wasn't that subtle, so after hearing Chen Rivet's suggestion, he agreed and nodded.
"Haha, that's true. Come on, let's drink, drink."
The sound of clinking glasses immediately rang out on the table.
Fu Jingyou and Ling Yuan are from the same generation and of similar age.
When Fu Jingyou was mentioned, the topic naturally continued with what happened in the Ling family.
Naturally, we started talking about the young couple in Lingyuan.
"With all this trouble, I'm afraid I'll have to spend the New Year in the hospital, right?"
"It's just a one-time upset during the Lunar New Year, but how old is that kid from the Ling family? There are still decades to go... I heard that Old Ling fainted several times because of this."
"Hey, this whole thing...didn't Old Ling really investigate it properly back then?"
"What are you asking?"
"What else could it be? It must be the details from the woman's side! It's okay to marry a virtuous woman and have your own ideas, but don't cause unrest in the family... Tell me, you've ruined a bright future, haven't you? How can you be so irrational, ah!"
After drinking, the people at the table started talking more frequently.
Lu Miao listened intermittently for a long time and finally understood the general idea.
Majors with a two-year program have begun to participate in assignments intermittently.
Like Fu Jingyou, he is connected to state-owned factories.
Ling Yuan studied agriculture. He had excellent grades and was always among the top ten in his professional college.
The professional course teacher was very optimistic about him and made a series of applications to the school.
Lu Yuanzheng had also made several attempts to assist him a while ago and successfully secured for him the opportunity to accompany him to the hybrid rice research and exchange conference in the United States.
This time, China was transferring "hybrid rice cultivation technology" to the United States.
