Chapter 792: Newcomer
"You and Brother Xiaoliu have good seeds. All three of your children are good seedlings!"
Lu Miao wrapped a tea brick half the size of a palm and some broken loose tea leaves in oil paper and said with a smile:
"Your future pregnancy won't be any worse either."
Tianzao was happy: "Haha, then I'll borrow your good words!"
As she took the small oil-paper bag, she was startled again:
"No, no, just give me some. I'll take it back and let them try it. It won't take that much!"
One of the couple comes from a wealthy family, and the other has made a name for himself in the capital.
Tianzao could guess that the gifts given to them must not be cheap.
She asked for it by relying on her relationship with him. It was already very generous. How could she ask for so much?
Tianzao refused, but Lu Miao took her hand and stuffed it directly into her hand:
"Okay, take it! Are you still being polite to your sister-in-law?"
Lu Miao taught Tianzao some words, but Tianzao was a frank and honest girl, and he had helped her a lot in taking care of the children in the past.
The key is that there will be trouble at home.
Every time they come back, they never come to visit empty-handed and they all rush to help with the work.
Although the things he took were not worth much, at least his behavior and attitude made people feel comfortable.
Tianzao was very embarrassed, Lu Miao comforted her and said:
"Okay, I didn't bring extra this time, otherwise I would have given you a whole piece so it would look better when you take it back."
"That's already great. Where can we find tea from other places, or even tea bricks, here?"
Tianzao took the oil-paper bag and said seriously:
"It is really thanks to you that I have seen this world."
Lu Miao was touched by her frankness, but was also overjoyed by the praise.
She touched the sweet date's nose, her eyes curved and she snorted:
"Why didn't I know you were so sweet before?"
Tianzao laughed heartily.
The atmosphere in the room was friendly, the two of them got along harmoniously, and their relationship was as close as that of a close sister-in-law.
There were many people in the village who came to visit like Tianzao, and Zaohua's family was also there.
Fruits, vegetables, old hens, all kinds of gifts were given by each family.
Lu Miao bought tea, canned fruit, peach cakes, candy, etc. depending on the situation.
Give return gifts based on interpersonal relationships.
Of course, the people who came here were not limited to those in the village.
There are some in the brigade, town and county.
When I got off the train a few days ago, a young comrade from the county said that the leader would arrange a dinner for us later.
Lu Miao thought that Fu Jingyou would most likely go alone, so he didn't take it too seriously.
Unexpectedly, when he came to pick her up at the end, he invited her and the children to go along as well.
I go back to my hometown to visit the elderly, relax at a slow pace, and take my kids out for a walk.
Lu Miao doesn't like socializing and doesn't want to get involved in complicated interpersonal relationships.
But since they had already set up the venue and came to pick us up, and they even used their car, it seemed difficult to refuse.
Lu Miao tidied himself up and changed into clean clothes.
I combed the low ponytail at the back, braided it into a pigtail and loosened it a little.
She let go of it and let it rest obediently on her shoulder, then turned around and opened the door of the new cupboard at the end of the bed.
…
Although the county provided a meal, it was not served in a state-owned restaurant.
Instead, it was instructed by the head and a middle-level manager stepped forward to host a family dinner to welcome the guests.
There was a movement a few years ago that caused a lot of uproar, and now people are wary of forming cliques.
It was originally a good thing, but because we were afraid of being criticized, we made such a roundabout arrangement.
If we were eating at a state-owned restaurant, there would be nothing to say.
Now that I'm going to someone's house, it's not good to go empty-handed.
The two elders of the Lu family were very considerate, as if they had expected that they would encounter this situation.
I had already packed two sets of hardcover gift boxes of capital local wine into my luggage.
Lu Miao didn’t understand what this wine was used for before, but now he understands.
She took one of the sets, carried the wine in one hand and held Xiao Baichuan in the other and went out.
The chubby boy was quite heavy in her hands and it was difficult for her to hold him.
When Fu Jingyou saw this, he was afraid that his son might fall, so he came over to catch the child.
Lu Miao leaned over and handed him the wine:
"How are you going to drive with him in your arms?"
Fu Jingyou still stepped forward and took his son over:
"It's still some distance to the car. What's there to worry about if I hold you for a while? It's so hot, I'll tire you out later."
The car was at the corner of the west threshing ground on the other side of the production team, and it took more than ten minutes to get there from home.
Lu Miao didn't argue with him.
I asked him to take the bar from him, but he refused to give it to me.
He walked in front with wine in one hand and a child in the other.
This is really...
The disparity in power between men and women!
Lu Miao shook his head, sighed silently, then locked the door of his house and followed behind with his three children.
When he arrived at the production team, Fu Jingyou put the things in the car.
After saying hello to the He family, he came back with his wife and family, and followed the small car from the county ahead out of Dahe Village.
…
A unit in the county was allocated a small courtyard, which was originally bustling with chatter.
There were a few "click" sounds of cars stalling and stopping outside, and then the cars in the yard also shut down.
After a while, someone started talking again:
"I think he's here. Are the tables and chairs set out?"
"It's all set up, shall we serve the food now?"
"Go ahead! You can go ahead!"
The sisters-in-law from several cadre families worked together.
When the Fu family entered the yard, the table was steaming hot, and it was a good time to sit down.
"Brother Xiaofu, this way!"
Hu Zhiyuan raised his hand and shouted first.
Thanks to his acquaintance with Fu Jingyou, Hu Zhiyuan also attended the banquet today.
Seeing Fu Jingyou coming in, Hu Zhiyuan greeted him happily and warmly.
The others reacted, and the men, led by the county chief, nodded and waved.
When Fu Jingyou approached, they patted Fu Jingyou on the shoulder and chatted and laughed with him.
The women took on the task of entertaining Lu Miao and the children.
Among them, the county magistrate's wife touched the children around Lu Miao.
When he looked at the little Baichuan in Lu Miao's arms, he nodded towards the men and said with a smile:
"I heard from your brother Jiang that your last name is Lu?"
The county magistrate's wife patted Lu Miao's hand affectionately:
"We are all older than you. Is it okay for us to call you Xiao Lu?"
"Of course I can. It's not easy to prepare meals for so many people. I'm really sorry for bothering you this time."
Lu Miao nodded slightly, the smile on his lips and his words were very appropriate.
Fu Jingyou is a new upstart.
Lu Miao has both a strong backing and a strong family background.
How good is the specific family and how strong is the background?
Just look at the commotion in the county when she gave birth to her first child a few years ago.
In terms of attitude, the county magistrate's family has always been a benchmark for others.
Everyone watched and became friendly with Lu Miao.
When she said this, others had something to talk about.
A cadre's wife next to him said with a smile:
"Comrade Xiao Fu is a rising star, a talented person from our county. We should entertain him when he returns. How can we say he is disturbing us?"
"That's right."
"The train runs fast because of the locomotive. His success today is inseparable from the cultivation of the county leaders."
