Chapter 798: Partnering Up
At about the same time, news came from Chen Xiangdong.
Lu Miao wanted to recruit girls, but they didn't have any.
However, when they were trading goods between East and West City, they often went to a hidden noodle stall in a small alley to eat.
The lady owner of the noodle stall had a daughter who was about eighteen or nineteen years old. She had attended elementary school and could recognize some words.
It meets Lu Miao's requirements.
When it came to recruiting at that time, most people still thought that there were only state-owned factories on the market.
Chen Xiangdong leaked the information to someone and asked about it. When the other party heard that he could introduce a job, he was very enthusiastic and willing to do so.
Ask directly when you can meet the leader and let him know if he is satisfied.
Lu Miao was not in Beijing, so Chen Xiangdong answered vaguely, saying only that it was just for the time being.
After Lu Miao returned to Beijing, Chen Xiangdong came to convey the news as soon as possible.
Let Lu Miao confirm the meeting time, and he will go there to inform her when he has time to avoid her from doing anything.
Lu Miao thanked Chen Xiangdong again and again.
Thinking that several children were going to summer camp the next day, we set the meeting time for the day after tomorrow.
The day after tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, have someone go directly to the factory yard.
She will be ready tomorrow after sending the kids back.
Also give them some time to prepare mentally.
That's how it was settled.
Seeing Chen Xiangdong coming over in light clothes, and not looking like he had anything to do, Lu Miao called him down when he was about to leave:
"Wait a minute, you guys cook your own food there, right? The beans are almost ripe now, and they're growing so fast you can't eat them all. I'll pick some for you to take back."
Lu Miao said this and went straight to the yard.
Two rows of climbing frames were built against the wall of the small vegetable garden in the yard.
In summer, the sun is strong and there is plenty of sunshine. The well is not far away, so watering the plants is easy.
Several bean plants grew wildly, some even climbing up the wall and onto the roof.
"Pick the ones that are against the wall. After you're done, just pull out the ones that are growing outside the wall."
While Lu Miao was picking beans, Tang Mei was nagging beside him:
"You weren't home the other day, and I don't know which nasty guy was pulling vines and picking beans outside the wall, and he brought down several tiles from the top of the wall."
Lu Miao took a look at the top of the wall and found that there was indeed a piece missing.
"Then let's wait for Brother You to come back later and let him take care of it."
“…”
Chen Xiangdong is not dead.
Don’t you have this much vision?
With him here, why do we need to wait for Fu Jingyou to come back for this kind of thing?
"Wait for Sixth Brother to come back and fix the tiles, and I'll take care of the vegetable patch."
Chen Xiangdong simply rolled up his sleeves.
Lu Miao paused, then smiled and said, "I'm not going to be polite to you anymore.
"Alright!"
After making sure that the vines close to the wall needed to be pulled out, Lu Miao picked all the beans.
This thing is not very picky about the planting environment.
If you only need one or two of the following: water, fertilizer, and light, the plant will grow relentlessly.
Don’t underestimate the vines. Lu Miao picked enough vines to wash vegetables in two large basins, weighing about eight or nine kilograms.
There are a few vines in the vegetable garden, and beans are hanging on the racks.
Thinking that there were many people at Chen Xiangdong's place, Lu Miao didn't leave any for his family. He found a big snake skin and put it all on him.
Chen Xiangdong left with the beans, but did not go directly back to the rented courtyard.
Instead, he got on his bicycle and went to the factory yard rented by Lu Miao.
Lu Miao gave Mei Zi a separate monthly allowance and told her that she could still eat there when she was free.
Mei Zi felt embarrassed to take money and eat at the same time.
He brought the stove from home to the factory yard, and also brought some coarse grains, rice and flour.
I usually take some free time to eat lunch in the factory yard.
I had dinner here as well, then locked the door and went straight to the literacy class.
When Lu Miao and his team returned to the south, Chen Xiangdong came here several times to pick up the goods.
Seeing Mei Zi start the fire herself, Chen Xiangdong discussed it with Mei Zi.
He asked if he could bring some food to share with the family so that he wouldn't have to go out to buy it when running back and forth.
Mei Zi is enthusiastic by nature, so she naturally wouldn't refuse.
The two of them have been eating together for several days.
This time Lu Miao gave Chen Xiangdong some beans, and he took them directly to the factory yard.
There are usually people in the courtyard, and the gate seems closed, but it is actually not bolted.
Chen Xiangdong got off his bicycle at the place.
The tender beans can be kept for two more days, and he picked some at the door once.
After picking out all the tender ones, he pushed the door open and went in without saying much.
He put the things in the kitchen, then came out with the bag and left.
In the room, Mei Zi tilted her head to instruct a few female comrades in their work. She was so busy and focused that she had no idea he had been there.
But the only people eating here are Mei Zi and Chen Xiangdong.
After work in the afternoon, Mei Zi went into the kitchen to prepare food. As soon as she saw the food, she knew it was brought by Chen Xiangdong.
Since there was an agreement to "partner together" in advance, Mei Zi was not shy.
Wash a small handful of beans and cut them into sections. Soak plums in some water in a small pot, pour the beans in and stir-fry with salt.
Fry until soft and cooked, then put it into the steamed buns left over from lunch and eat it right away.
…
The children were attending summer camp and were required to gather at the Children's Palace at 8 a.m.
Fu Jingyou has to go to work at 8:30 in the summer and can't make it in time.
Lu Miao didn't let him take care of it.
After having breakfast with the children at home, Lu Miao and Lu Yuanzheng sent the children to Jingshan together.
Since ancient times, the gap between the rich and the poor seems to exist everywhere.
Although the tuition at the Children's Palace is not low, there were quite a lot of children participating in the summer camp that day.
There must be about a hundred people.
Lu Miao stayed in the Children's Palace for a while, carefully straightening Shi An and Nie Yunge's red scarves.
Remind them to drink the water in the small kettle and to keep an eye on their younger siblings.
The teacher clapped his hands, blew the whistle, and called on the children to gather outside and line up to get on the bus.
Lu Miao walked back only after seeing them get on the car.
He arrived at Qingta Hutong without entering the house. He smoothed the hair behind his ears and went straight to the factory.
After returning to Beijing, this was Lu Miao's first time to come to this courtyard.
After such a long time, everyone was very nervous when they suddenly saw her.
Everyone put down their work and stood up stiffly to look at her.
Lu Miao waved his hand, "You guys keep busy, I'll come over and take a look."
"Sister-in-law~!"
Mei Zi stood up to greet her, her smile as bright and full of vitality as the rape flowers blooming in spring.
Lu Miao was infected by her sunshine, and he nodded and patted her hand on his arm.
The two went into the room to talk together.
When he rented the house, the old cabinets in the yard were thrown away because the owner didn't want them.
What should be used as firewood should be used as firewood.
Nowadays, there are several tables inside and outside for convenient work.
The room was also empty, with only a few half-full snakeskin bags.
The items in it are all hair ties that I made recently and Mei Zi has already paid for them.
These were all explained in advance, so Mei Zi didn't need to explain anything.
Lu Miao waited for Mei Zi to open the door, then walked into the house, opened the bag, and grabbed a handful at random to examine it.
