Chapter 913: There Again
I have two days off after returning from a business trip.
On the first day, Lu Miao rested peacefully at home.
The next day was Saturday and the children were at home on holiday.
She took the children out for a walk and bought some of her family's favorite foods at the market.
I had some free time in the afternoon, so I took the kids to the bookstore.
I bought a few extracurricular reading books for each child.
She also bought a few books for adults to read.
Books such as "Exotic Customs Series", "Overview of Various Countries", "Global History", etc., which summarize the customs and culture of various countries and the macro-economic development of politics and economy.
Read it when you have free time later.
It’s not that learning is endless, it can also enrich yourself.
After returning home and putting things away, Lu Miao decided to cook a delicious meal for the children.
She was resting at home, and Fu Jingyou came back early.
After tidying up the vegetable patch in the yard, Fu Jingyou took out the nylon film he had bought in previous years and started to set up this year's greenhouse.
Xie Fei and Gu Ying came in the middle.
On the one hand, they came to deliver tofu, and on the other hand, they heard that Lu Miao had returned, so the couple came over to sit with him.
Xie Fei rolled up his sleeves to help Fu Jingyou.
Fu Jingyou asked him:
"You have a vegetable patch in your yard, don't you want to build a shed too? It's cold in the north, and it'll freeze soon, and the vegetables outside will rot."
Xie Fei nodded: "I can make one. Where can I get this plastic film?"
"In the past, our families would issue us approval slips, but now that the economy has been liberalized, they don't need them anymore. You can ask at a hardware store. If they don't have one, go to the plastics factory."
Fu Jingyou recalled:
"When I bought it, it was 1.1 yuan per meter. It's been a few years now, so the price should have increased a bit. You can ask around and use it as a reference."
"good."
Two men outside were busy and chatting.
On the other side, in the kitchen.
Tang Mei sat at the stove and lit the fire, while Lu Miao was busy in front of the stove.
Gu Ying stood at the table nearby, helping to pick vegetables, and the three of them started chatting.
Gu Ying had been thinking about taking advantage of him for a long time.
Xie Fei and I were always busy with work and didn’t have much time to be at home.
They were afraid that the tofu seller would come over and they wouldn't meet him, so they came over to say hello to Tang Mei.
If there is anyone selling tofu, ask Tang Mei to help them keep an eye out and buy a piece.
In the end, I never caught up with the tofu seller...
Today, the couple were both resting at home, so they just did it themselves.
Don’t underestimate these few pieces of tofu.
Gu Ying and Xie Fei started tinkering with it after breakfast in the morning and finished it in the afternoon.
Lu Miao said with a smile, "You two are really persistent. You've been doing this for so long."
Gu Ying said helplessly: "It felt troublesome in the middle, but it was already halfway done and I couldn't leave it there. I had to bite the bullet and continue."
"puff……"
"Ha ha……"
As soon as the words fell, the three people in the kitchen, including Gu Ying, burst into laughter.
The atmosphere was cheerful, and several children ran in from outside the yard in a long line.
"Mother!"
"Aunt!"
"Mom, Mom! There's a kitten in the alley!"
"Got it. You're only allowed to look, not touch. Be careful or you'll get caught. Do you understand?"
"I heard it!"
There was a lot of noise in the yard, and then a few children ran out to have fun again.
Lu Miao shook his head and asked Tang Mei to look at the pot. Once the pot boiled, he could serve the food out.
She pulled Gu Ying into the room and rummaged through the drawers to take out the package sent by Geng Xiaoyun.
Lu Miao skillfully took out some oil paper and made a small bag, and gave Gu Ying a small bag of snow frog, deer antler, and codonopsis slices.
"I've packed it for you before. Do you remember how to eat it?"
"Hmm... Did Xiaoyun send it to you again?"
"yes."
Lu Miao smiled and said:
"She's very loyal and remembers my past births, so she sends me some every year."
Gu Ying nodded in understanding, actually knowing what was going on in her heart.
Being loyal and righteous is one aspect.
On the other hand, when people are far away from each other, in order to maintain this relationship, you must put in some effort in interpersonal communication.
Speaking of which, Lu Miao sat on the kang and chatted with Gu Ying:
"How are you doing recently? How's your health?"
"fine."
Gu Ying paused, glanced out the window, moved closer to Lu Miao, and hissed:
“I might have it again…”
"What? What's going on?"
Lu Miao was startled and looked down at her belly:
"Is it what I thought?"
Gu Ying nodded slowly, not quite sure:
"I didn't get my period last week, and I calculated it myself. If I was really pregnant, it would have been when we had dinner here during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
That day, Xie Fei and Fu Jingyou drank a lot of rice wine.
Gu Ying ate crabs and drank several cups of wine.
I went back home feeling dizzy at night and that was all...
It's embarrassing to say this, but Gu Ying and Lu Miao are good friends.
Lu Miao thought about her everywhere, so she never thought of hiding this from Lu Miao.
Lu Miao sighed, frowned and said worriedly:
"So what are you going to do now? Have you recovered from your last illness?"
"I feel like I'm almost recovered."
Gu Ying nodded and said:
"I used to feel insecure and lacked protection, so I didn't want to have children. But things have improved a lot since I moved out."
She pondered for a moment and continued:
"I've thought about this many times. Xie Fei is not young anymore, and I'm still a year or two older than him. If I can have a child, I'd better do it now, otherwise it will be difficult to have a child in the next few years when I'm older."
People's ideas will change according to the actual situation.
Lu Miao could understand Gu Ying's considerations, but he still suggested with some concern:
"It's been less than a month and a half since the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's impossible to detect pregnancy now, right? You should be careful first. Next day off, ask Xie Fei to accompany you to a few more hospitals for a checkup."
She held Gu Ying's hand and patted it:
"First see if your current physical condition is suitable, then consider other things."
Gu Ying smiled and nodded, "Yeah."
Lu Miao thought of something and said:
"Those things I just packed for you, just eat them occasionally, but don't eat them all at once... If you're really pregnant, it's not good to take too much."
The smile in Gu Ying's eyes became more intense:
"I understand. Don't worry."
"Um……"
Lu Miao asked Gu Ying and Xie Fei to have dinner here today.
Gu Ying didn't agree.
He said that the tofu and the first batch of tender vegetable leaves had already been cut at home.
I have to cook rice with vegetables in the evening.
She had been thinking about it for a long time. She usually didn't have the chance to go to the market to buy meat, so she had been waiting for tofu just to eat it.
After listening to this, Lu Miao didn't know what to say.
The children came rushing back to eat.
Lu Miao stood at the gate of the yard and watched Gu Ying and Xie Fei walking back arm in arm, talking and laughing.
Everyone's life seems to be getting better.
That’s great.
I hope things will get better and better in the future!
Lu Miao smiled with emotion, and behind him were the shouts of the children's father and children:
"Go call mom for dinner."
"Oh...Mom, it's time to eat!"
"Here I come."
Lu Miao withdrew his gaze, responded with a smile, locked the gate and trotted into the house.
