Things at home stabilized, and Lu Miao spent a few days making up the manuscript.
Initially, it was said that the deadline would be a few days late, but it ended up being delayed by ten days.
Lu Miao was quite embarrassed to take the manuscript to the publishing house this time.
Xu Hongmei finished scanning the manuscript and asked her: "Are you busy recently?"
Lu Miao was stunned for a moment, then straightened her back and asked:
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the manuscript?"
"No."
Xu Hongmei waved her hands and said with a smile:
"Don't be so nervous, me. , I just asked casually because you don’t look very good.”
Although the handwriting in the manuscript is a bit scrawl compared to the past, but after a quick look, there is no big problem for the time being.
Lu Miao breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s hard to talk about household matters outside, so I said casually:
“I used to go to school and didn’t pay much attention to family affairs. I have been on vacation recently and have to take care of the children. It’s a bit noisy in daily life... maybe It’s okay if you don’t have a rest.”
When using Lu Miao, the publishing house verified her personal information in advance.
Xu Hongmei knew about Lu Miao’s marriage.
But Xu Hongmei really didn't notice that she said she had a child.
“You have children?”
Lu Miao nodded and said with a smile: “There are three at home.”
“What?”
Xu Hongmei's eyes widened and she glanced up and down at Lu Miao.
Trying to find some "trace" that she had given birth to children, three children!
"Oh my god... I really didn't notice that you have three children!"
Lu Miao smiled helplessly, but did not explain that deeply:
"Two of them are twins."
"I asked, how old are you? Can you have three children?"
Hearing that one of the pairs was twins, Xu Hongmei nodded, not so shocked, but she also envied Lu Miao's good fortune.
"Twins are great, it's strange, I have never seen them before!"
Lu Miao smiled and said, "I also suffered when I was pregnant."
" This is indeed the case... But now that I am fine, I have given birth, and all the good luck is yet to come for you!"
He laughed and chattered for a while.
Lu Miao left the editorial department, went to get the manuscript of the previous issue and withheld the rest.
The 20,000-word manuscript submitted in the last issue was settled at five per thousand words, and half of the manuscript was paid, and the total was fifty yuan.
Lu Miao took the bus back and passed by the market to buy three kilograms of apples and pears.
The mangoes this time are particularly good, but they are also the most expensive.
Apples and pears only cost 30 cents a pound, and mangoes cost 60 cents.
Just two of them are worth two or three kilograms, and it’s hard to divide them among the family if you take them back.
Lu Miao hesitated and did not buy it.
Holding the remaining money, Lu Miao walked back with the fruit.
I plan to come back after I finish eating what I have.
Going home and entering the yard, a gay man came out with a pen on his chest and a notebook in his hand.
Lu Miao looked up.
The gay man looked at her, nodded politely, smiled, and left quickly.
“Who is it?”
Lu Miao asked as he entered the room and put the fruit on the table.
Fu Jingyou glanced at the children and gave her a look.
The young couple entered the room and talked:
"What's wrong? What happened again?"
"No."
Fu Jingyou shook her head, lowered her voice and spoke truthfully Come:
"Isn't the back of the ice factory blown up? The electricity in this area is also paralyzed. Someone from the subdistrict office just came over to ask if our family still needs electricity."< br>
"The two heads that were missing before have been unable to be settled. This time it is said to be repairing the circuit. If we still need electricity, we will make an exception and erect the electric poles together."
Lu Miao was speechless for a moment.
I have been looking forward to using electricity.
Who would have thought that electricity is actually used in this way now?
"Does it cost money to erect wire poles?" "No, you will have to pay some money to pull wires into the yard."
Lu Miao nodded and took out today’s royalties.
For fifty yuan, I bought several kilograms of fruit, and there was exactly forty-nine yuan left.
She drew five yuan and gave it to Fu Jingyou.
Fu Jingyou shook his head: "I eat at home during the holidays and don't go out much. I don't need money."
Lu Miao continued to stuff it to him, "Take it first. What if there is something urgent and you need to spend money? Why don't you come back to me?"
Fu Jingyou had no choice but to take it, then turned around and hugged her deeply. The daughter-in-law kissed her.
Lu Miao knows.
He was comforting her, and he was also comforting himself.
Men are the breadwinners of the family, and it is understandable that they think more about supporting the family.
Patting him with his backhand, Lu Miao comforted him with a smile:
“When we first came to Beijing, we had nothing, but don’t we have everything now?”
“There are chickens in the courtyard. There are rabbits and vegetable fields, there is no shortage of meat and vegetables, and there is no big expense on daily basis. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, we are much better than others.”
Fu Jingyou nodded dullly.
Fortunately, his wife is capable and reasonable, and she always comforts and encourages him.
Otherwise, for a moment, he really didn't know what to do.
"I am at home during this period. I just have time to tidy up the vegetable plot and spend more time with my children. I don't have much time to spend with them."
The man hugged her and rested his chin on hers. shoulders.
Lu Miao inserted her fingers into the hair on the back of his head and stroked it gently.
"Shi'an doesn't have two decent clothes, so I'll make him one. If the weather improves in a few days, we can go to the Temple of Heaven and the Forbidden City to play."
"Take more photos then, develop them later and send a copy to your hometown, okay?"
Fu Jingyou nodded dullly: "Yeah."
I didn't stay much when I went back this time. I guess the old couple didn't feel very comfortable either.
But what keeps Fu Jingyou depressed is not because of this, nor entirely because of livelihood issues.
But...
It’s still about Zhou Hong.
If a person is unlucky, his teeth will be blocked even when he drinks water.
This is really unlucky.
Fu Jingyou couldn’t help but think deeply about it.
If something happens to him one day, what will happen to his wife and children?
The daughter-in-law has the ability to earn money, so the children don’t have to worry.
But who will take care of my wife?
Fu Jingyou only dared to worry about these words in his heart and did not dare to say them verbally.
Otherwise, having his ears twisted and beaten violently would be a light punishment.
My daughter-in-law decided to give birth to a fresh baby.
After hugging his wife for a while, Fu Jingyou slowly removed his hand:
"Then you are busy, I will go out and look after the child."
"Yes."
The door "squeaked" shut.
Lu Miao straightened her back and stretched.
Putting the book bag away and putting it aside, Lu Miao dug out the fabric she bought a while ago.
One bundle of white cloth and one bundle of black cloth, both materials for making shirts.
Fu Jingyou thinks the shirt is too restrictive, so he usually wears a vest.
Lu Miao bought these materials with the intention of making clothes for Lu Yuanzheng.
The last time she saw Lu Yuanzheng’s collar and cuffs were worn out, she kept it in her mind.
A few days ago, Fu Jingyou took him back to the compound rented by Zhou Hong to get some things, including only two or three sets of clothes.
Both patches are considered good.
Zhou Hong is a rough guy. He doesn't care and doesn't notice these things, so it's hard to say anything about him.
Now Zhou Shian is settled in the Fu family and raising two children together.
Whether you eat or wear something, it all has to be the same.
All in good order. (End of this chapter)
