Chapter 205 New Year's Eve
Lu Miao doesn't want to go out, so Fu Jingyou certainly won't force her to go out.
I moved a chair for her, put books and newspapers on the long table by the window, poured hot water and put it aside.
After she sat down and read a book seriously, Fu Jingyou started to work on her own.
I went to the back of the backyard and cut a piece of bamboo, dragged it to the front and chopped off the side branches. I randomly picked up a few side branches and tied them into a small bundle on the bamboo pole.
Lu Miao was reading in the front room.
Fu Jingyou held up the bamboo pole and walked around the house, wiping away the dust and cobwebs in every corner of the house.
After that, it was about sweeping the floor and wiping the table. Lu Miao didn't need to ask anything inside and outside, and he cleaned up everything.
For lunch, he put the small table in the room, picked some fresh vegetables from the backyard, washed them, took them to the front room and put them beside the table.
Zhang Luo asked Lu Miao to boil the side dishes to eat, while he sat upright on one side and peeled eggs for Lu Miao.
Lu Miao took a sip of the soup. When she looked up at him, there was a smile in her eyes:
“Fu Jingyou, all the work you do now is done by women, don’t you feel aggrieved? ?”
Fu Jingyou gently took her hand and placed the peeled and still slightly steaming egg in her palm.
"Anyone can do the work, regardless of gender."
Lu Miao opened the eggs, and quickly squeezed the light yellow eggs into Fu Jingyou's bowl. Fu Jingyou couldn't stop him, he stood upright. He stared at her with a "tsk" sound from his waist.
Lu Miao just pretended that he couldn't see it, biting the egg white and said:
"But what you are doing, except for old bachelors and old widowers, there are no men in the team who can do it seriously, so I won't be unhappy. "
Fu Jingyou shook his head, and after eating the egg yolk she stuffed, he scooped up a bowl of soup and drank it.
"It's none of their business if they don't want to, so I'm willing to do it. I just want you to rest."
Hearing the answer he wanted, Lu Miao curled her lips, smiling and being serious. Road:
"Then they say I'm a lazy bitch."
"You're lazy, what's wrong with them? If anyone says it to your face, you scold them back and call them men incompetent."
< br>As Fu Jingyou spoke, he stretched out his long arm to pour the slightly cold soup in Lu Miao's bowl into his own bowl, and then filled her with the hot soup from the big belly soup can.
“Okay, let’s eat first, and then we’ll talk after we finish the meal.”
He opened the damper under the stove a little wider, and in the pot-bellied soup can, the stick bone soup gurgled quickly. "Bubbling up."
He neatly put a chopstick of baby spinach in, looked at it and saw it was darker in color, and hurriedly put it into Lu Miao's bowl before it was boiled to pieces.
Seeing that Lu Miao ate more often, Fu Jingyou gradually learned how to make some hotpot dishes.
Like this kind of baby spinach, take it out as soon as it changes color during rinsing. It tastes sweet and has a slight crunch, which is the best time to eat.
Lu Miao buried her head in eating.
Seeing how focused she was, he couldn't help but laugh and continued to iron the cabbage moss on the cauliflower for her:
"You can be as lazy as you usually want, but now you have a baby in your belly..."
Lu Miao looked up.
Fu Jingyou quickly changed his words:
“You have a baby in your belly now. You don’t just sit and lie down. My aunt said you should walk often, which is good for your health. "
Lu Miaoguang ate without saying anything. Fu Jingyou continued to look at her and said:
"They are elders and have given birth, so what they say must make sense."
"Oh, I know! Why are you talking about that all the time while you are eating."
Lu Miao hummed softly. snort.
“I didn’t lie down and sit all the time!”
Her mood fluctuated greatly during pregnancy, and Fu Jingyou didn’t dare to really make her angry, so he quickly changed the subject with a smile:
< br>
"Okay, let's eat, let's eat first."
There was nothing to do in the afternoon. Fu Jingyou was repairing the small vegetable patch Lu Miao had made before in front of the door.
Lu Miao was beside him with his hands on his lower back, moving his muscles and bones back and forth to digest food while responding to her request to "move more".
On New Year's Eve this past year, Fu Jingyou was the only one in the Fu family.
Fu Jingyou always went to the He family and came back after the New Year's Eve dinner.
This year Fu Jingyou talked about this matter and asked Lu Miao for his opinion. Lu Miao said she would spend time at home.
When you are alone, you are lonely, but two people are companions after all.
It’s not impossible to go to He’s house.
But I have to come back at night, and it seems a bit too lonely to have a cold pot and stove at home.
The Fu family hasn't been lively in so many years, so it's good that they can live together.
Lu Miao rambled on about her thoughts.
Fu Jingyou reached out and touched her flat belly and said with a smile:
"Wrong, not two, now there are three."
Lu Miao was amused by his serious look:
"Is he just a little bigger? He doesn't count."
"Why doesn't it count? He's still small now, but won't he be bigger in the future? Isn't this something he can grow?"
He said Zhang Jun had a huge smile on his face and nervously leaned down to look at Lu Miao's belly.
“I don’t know if it’s a son or a daughter? I’ve been thinking about the name for a long time and I don’t have a clue. Have you thought about it?”
Lu Miao thought about it, shook his head and asked: "Second sister-in-law said that people in the village pay attention to seniority. What is his seniority?"
Fu Jingyou thought for a while and said:
"It should be someone with a clear name."
What he said was extremely uncertain. Lu Miao didn't believe him, so she snorted and said:
“Come on, let’s ask aunt and them first later!”
The elders have ideas, I’m sure they’ve already chosen whatever name they want.
Of course, Lu Miao also wants to name her own child.
But she really can’t say anything about those who defend the country and the people in this era.
I was also afraid that Fu Jingyou and He Hongjin would not be able to accept her name based on her own ideas.
I have to wait and ask later to find out what generation I am in and see if I can give him a name with some depth and meaning.
Like Fu Jingyou, he should be of the same generation as Jing, any name he calls out will sound nice.
Lu Miao was thinking about Xiao Jiujiu, and the next day, New Year's Eve, was coming soon.
They don't plan to go to the He family and plan to spend time at home.
But if people can’t get there, you must be willing to send some things over there.
Lu Miao got up early in the morning and ordered Fu Jingyou to fish out two turtles and kill them.
After they were all cleaned up, one was stewed in a pot-bellied soup pot and kept for my family’s New Year’s Eve dinner.
The other one was put into a soup pot with a slender belly and simmered in the stove.
It is getting dark at night, and two cups of soup are just in time.
Lu Miao asked Fu Jingyou to carry the soup can with a slender belly and send it to the He family.
Under the kerosene lamp in the kitchen at home, she added soy sauce, minced onion, minced garlic, salt, MSG, etc. to the minced meat.
How can New Year’s Eve dinner be complete without dumplings?
After making the dough and mixing the fillings in the afternoon, Lu Miao tried rolling out the dumpling wrappers.
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.
Every small piece of dough that was pulled off was rolled into an irregular shape.
Oval shapes are all good.
Most of them are long and round with a tail. They are either thicker on one side or thinner on the other.
