Chapter 795: Show off your power
"I understand, little aunt."
Minjie puffed up his face and was stubborn for a while, then nodded.
"If you need anything, ask grandpa and grandma to send a letter to Jingbei, and your uncle and aunt will send it back to you."
Lu Miao touched his slightly long hair and continued to say with a smile:
"Your hair has grown so long. Ask your uncle to trim it for you this afternoon. When the sun goes down, go to the lake and rub it thoroughly."
The weather is hot and the water in the lake is warm in the afternoon.
It’s okay to let Fu Jingyou take him to play in the water for a while.
This was the case every afternoon for the first few days, and Shi An, Ming Yi and Ming Xia also went.
In the past, when Mingyi and Mingxia came back, they still wanted their parents to hold them most of the time.
This time, those who can run and jump are having a great time in the fields, and they look much more lively.
Lu Miao saw this and thought it was a good time to let the children out for some fresh air or go back home.
It is really necessary to have a good time.
It sounded as if they were about to leave.
Minjie felt a little disappointed. He sniffed and rubbed his eyes while nodding with a "hmm".
It just so happened that when the elders sat down and prepared to eat, there was a noise outside the house.
He Erge and Tian Guihua came with things.
Lu Miao put down what he was doing and walked over with a smile:
"Second brother and sister-in-law are back? Come on, come in and sit down, dinner is about to start!"
Minjie also jumped off the table, ran up and grabbed He Erge, and pulled his father to the table:
"Dad, I want my birthday to be like this tomorrow! You and Mom prepare a table full of food for me, and I want soda too!"
He Erge put down his things, greeted him with a smile, and without quite hearing what his son said, he patted his son on the head and pushed him to the child's mother.
Minjie pulled his mother again and she was so anxious that she kept jumping up and down:
"Mom, did you hear me? I want one too!"
Tian Guihua glanced at the dishes on the table, patted her son's head and said:
"Okay, when you turn ten tomorrow, your family will do it for you."
The birthdays of a child, such as one month old, one year old and ten years old, are all big days in the village and must be celebrated in a formal manner.
Minjie obviously doesn't know this.
But when he heard his mother say that it would be done, Minjie was very happy even though he was still two years away from turning ten.
Minjie pursed his lips and smiled happily. He had already thought about what kind of soda he would want to drink.
He wants orange flavor, four bottles!
Then give it to Sister Minmin, Shian, Dabao and Erbao, and let them drink together.
How could he have missed himself?
wrong……
There's also Baichuan's younger brother, and my uncle's younger brother...
If you think about it carefully, there are quite a few people who have been missed.
Minjie scratched his head with a silly grin, thinking that he would need at least seven bottles of soda.
"I bumped into the door lock over there when I got back. I didn't need to ask anyone, I knew it must be here. I came over to take a look and it was indeed!"
He Erge joked cheerfully, then asked with a smile:
"Speaking of which, what day is it today? How did you prepare such a large table of dishes?"
"It's the boss's birthday."
Lu Miao smiled and patted Shi An's head.
"Oh, it's really a coincidence that we came back!"
He Erge raised his eyebrows and smiled, and immediately said:
"Shi An, I just met you during the Chinese New Year. Do you still recognize me?"
Shi An grinned brightly, stood on the bench and shouted:
"It's Second Uncle!"
"Oh, you little birthday boy, you have such a good memory!"
With the praise from He Erge, the atmosphere at the table became more lively.
Tian Guihua helped Lu Miao carry the things they had brought into the room:
"Since you won't be staying home long, I didn't buy any brown sugar or anything like that. I bought some canned fruit instead. I'll open it and give it to the kids later. Don't be disgusted..."
"Don't say that, sister-in-law. Canned food is much more valuable than brown sugar."
Times are slowly progressing. In the past, brown sugar was a must-have gift when giving gifts to people’s homes.
Nowadays, canned fruits are gradually becoming mainstream.
After putting the things away, Lu Miao picked up two chairs and went to the table with Tian Guihua, chatting and laughing.
The house was already lively, and it became even more lively when He Erge and Tian Guihua came back.
On the big table, the adults poured two taels of wine.
At the small table, the children's mouths were filled with sweet soda and pumpkin pie, and they chattered about themselves, extremely happy.
Lu Miao and his friends sometimes come back during the Spring Festival, and sometimes not.
He Erge was afraid that they would not come back this year, so since the coal factory was closed on Sunday, the couple took an extra day off.
I just wanted to come back and reconnect with my brothers.
Don't miss this time, or you may not see each other for a year or two.
At night, He Erge and Tian Guihua rested in the village.
Lu Miao didn't let them go back to clean up.
The old couple had helped clean up the place before, and the beds on both sides were newly made.
The children are young and don’t dare to sleep alone, so they have been making do with the small beds in their room these days.
The bed in the second room over there is just a mat you can sleep on.
There was no cool mat here. After dinner, the men drank and chatted at the table. Tian Guihua and Chen Guifen went back to the He family and brought over a clean old cool mat.
Fu Jingyou and He Erge are not biological brothers, but they are better than brothers.
The guys ate and drank, and when they got drunk in the afternoon, they lay down on the beds in the rooms on both sides to rest, and no one cared about them.
Chen Guifen helped with the cleanup and chores.
Tian Guihua helped Lu Miao wash the children's clothes in the backyard.
With the man right in front of him, Lu Miao simply ignored the child's father's words. He glanced at the back of the kitchen and asked Tian Guihua quietly:
"How are Big Brother and his family? Didn't they come back for the New Year?"
"I came back for a bit on the first day of the new year, stayed at the Zhao family's for one night, and then left."
"Not living at home?"
"without."
Tian Guihua shook her head and pursed her lips and said:
"The situation is different. When you're busy, you might not be able to talk about filial piety or anything like that."
This statement may sound like both praise and criticism, but it is actually a mockery.
"Filial piety is the first of all virtues", this traditional saying is enough to emphasize the status of filial piety in the hearts of Chinese people.
Not to mention the eighties now.
Even in the next twenty, thirty, or forty years, if children are unfilial, it will be a big problem.
If it is said that the old couple treated their son badly and acted biasedly, it would be fine if Brother He did not care about filial piety.
But the old couple didn't do anything to treat Brother He unfairly. It was Brother He who always had complaints about their behavior in taking care of the old and the young.
Now that things have been taken to this extent, he is really not afraid of being criticized.
Lu Miao was speechless for a moment. Tian Guihua looked at her expression and continued:
"You want to ask about Minmin, right?"
Lu Miao was stunned and nodded slightly.
"Your second brother went to see him during the Dragon Boat Festival. He's a very miserable child. He used to be able to attend a red education class in the team, but now he can't even go to school."
Tian Guihua stretched out the small clothes and hung them on the clothesline, holding the clothesline with one hand raised high and putting the other hand on her waist.
He sighed, then became indignant again:
"With the policy opening up, there's no longer any emphasis on overthrowing the landlords. I think it's because of this that Zhao Lanxiang has become even more powerful. She's acting like a powerful landlord at home, and Minmin is just like a mule or horse that she beats and scolds and orders around!"
