Chapter 979: Fooling First
"You don't have to be too proud."
Brother He snorted, looked at Lu Miao, and then looked at Fu Jingyou meaningfully:
"There's still a long way to go. Who knows if I, now, will become you in the future?"
Lu Miao frowned, but before he could say anything, there was a "bang".
Then there was a series of "ding ding dang dang" sounds, and He Hongjin smashed the enamel pot on He Da Ge and started to attack:
"If you don't know how to speak, then don't speak. Go back to your room!"
Brother He glanced at He Hongjin, wiped the water off his face, and turned back to the house.
Lu Miao was afraid that He Hongjin would get angry, so he told He Erge to wait for news from the team here while they went over there first.
After all this commotion, He Hongjin was angry and upset, and originally waved his hand and said he would not go.
Lu Miao brought out the youngest child in the family.
They said they had been out for too long, and if they stayed any longer, the child might start crying, or might already be crying.
Taking advantage of the situation, he brought up the idea of discussing how to arrange Minmin, and He Hongjin sighed and gave in.
Together with Chen Guifen, I went to the Fu family with them.
Afraid that Brother He would take Yaozong away, He Hongjin took Yaozong with him as well.
The boy is not very old, but because he has not received proper education and guidance, he mumbles a lot and blurts out a curse word or two from time to time.
When we arrived at the Fu family's house, Lu Miao, He Hongjin and others were talking in the house.
Fu Jingyou was outside restraining Yaozong.
He had a stern face, an expression that was unusually serious and stern.
Shi An and the others were frightened and went to play in the backyard.
Let’s talk about Yaozong.
Whenever Yaozong swore, Fu Jingyou would flick his head.
The kind that doesn't hold back its strength at all.
Yaozong was hit and cried loudly with his head in his hands, and Fu Jingyou let him cry.
When he stopped crying, Fu Jingyou asked him if he wanted to continue.
Yaozong didn't understand, and subconsciously shook his head when asked, but after a while, he still spit out swear words.
Fu Jingyou continued to play him.
This went on for an entire afternoon, and Yaozong's frequency and duration of muttering swear words increased significantly.
But at the same time, Yaozong also became afraid of Fu Jingyou.
The child is too young to be reasoned with.
It's just that he is still young now, so if you are a little tougher, you have to find out his faults even if you want to tame him.
Fu Jingyou is considered gentle.
He Hongjin's ideological tradition.
When it was He Hongjin's turn to take care of the children, if something happened, He Hongjin would just pick up a stick and beat them.
Of course, this is all later.
Let’s talk about Minmin again.
It is obvious that Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou are doing well.
But Minmin's surname is He after all.
Lu Miao said he wanted to take Minmin to Jingbei, but He Hongjin didn't want to cause them trouble and refused to agree.
He Hongjin meant to keep Minmin by his side.
If Minmin wants to go to school, there is a primary school in the brigade and he can afford it.
Besides, Minmin is already thirteen years old.
In a few years, we will be at the age of getting married, so these few years will be a good opportunity for us to slowly get to know each other.
If there is a suitable family in the village, we can settle the matter first.
I'll talk about marriage in detail when I'm old enough.
Lu Miao was dissatisfied with this arrangement:
"Girls in the countryside have to get married at 17 or 18. What's the benefit of getting married so early? Besides, they're all farmers. If you let her marry a farmer, she'll probably be a farmer for the rest of her life."
"What's wrong with farmers? Farmers also work with their hands to make a living!"
He Hongjin said earnestly:
"Let's not talk about anything else. Don't all girls get married at this age? You too! When you married Xiaoliu, he was also a farmer. Isn't he doing well now?"
"How many people can be as successful as him? Do you think there is another one in the village?"
"this……"
He Hongjin was choked and couldn't speak for a long time.
Lu Miao didn't argue with him anymore. He just waved and called Minmin over and asked:
"Auntie wants to take you to Jingbei, are you willing to go with her?"
Children will always subconsciously get close to people who are good to them.
Although she had no idea where Jingbei was or what place it was, Minmin nodded and said:
"I listen to my aunt."
"Just listen to your aunt."
Lu Miao smiled and touched Minmin's head, then stood up and said to He Hongjin:
"I'm not looking down on farmers, but how much can they earn after working hard all year? If I take her out, she can at least live better than in the village and earn more."
Lu Miao softened his tone and said:
"Uncle, I know you're afraid of bothering us and spending money, but I'm taking her out to earn money, not for anything else. Once she's good enough and has an income, if she stays at my place, I can charge her for food. Is that okay?"
He Hongjin looked at Lu Miao suspiciously.
Let’s not talk about the probability that she would collect food expenses.
Minmin is such a small person, what kind of job can she find?
If it was so easy to find work in the city, would those families in the village have come to them for help?
He Hongjin didn't believe what Lu Miao said.
Lu Miao had no choice but to briefly mention the factory matters at hand:
"If I can't arrange it for others, can I arrange it for my own people? If she can't do anything else, she can go over and help with odd jobs. I'm the one who pays others, so why can't I let my own people earn the money?"
"...Did you really open that factory?" He Hongjin asked.
Lu Miao nodded, called a few children and said:
"I didn't call Brother You over, so you wouldn't think he was covering for me. If you don't believe me, ask Shi An and the others."
He Hongjin seriously asked about Shi An and Ming Yi.
It wasn't until he heard that Lu Miao had built a yard with more than a dozen people working there every day that He Hongjin finally softened his attitude:
"If that's the case, then that's fine too."
After taking a puff of his pipe, He Hongjin looked at Minmin with deep concern and said:
"As her aunt, you've been treating her well. I've seen it all. She should be grateful to you. If you want to take her over to help, that's fine, but just give her food to eat. Don't mention money. If you can do what I say, then I have no objection to this matter."
Lu Miao nodded and said:
"She's still young and can't do much work. Her food can almost offset her salary, so I won't talk about money for now. I'll talk about it when she's older."
Who cares!
Let’s just trick them first and take the person away first.
Being so far away, He Hongjin couldn't even reach out to Jingbei, and he wouldn't even get a single word from Lu Miao after he took possession of the item.
She has the final say on how to arrange things at that time.
Minmin’s matter has been settled for the time being.
However, since the factory had been mentioned, Lu Miao also asked Tian Guihua while cooking at night.
Previously, the village had set an example for having two children, and Tian Guihua was criticized and lost her job in the coal factory canteen.
Although He Erge's job was barely kept, Tian Guihua has been staying in the village in order not to affect He Erge.
Lu Miao asked her if she would like to go to Jingbei with them since she had nothing to do anyway.
