Chapter 754 A Visitor is Coming
The couple made a good deal, but on Friday night and approaching the weekend, the plan was disrupted again.
At the dinner table, Lu Yuanzheng broke the news that a guest would be visiting his home at noon the next day.
He also said that Lu Miao's cooking was delicious and asked her to prepare two decent dishes for them.
Lu Miao stopped talking.
Thinking that the person who could get him to talk about hospitality was probably not an ordinary person, he swallowed his words and asked instead:
"Are there any taboos that he can't eat?"
"In the past No food, even I’ve eaten tree bark and Guanyin soil.”
Lu Yuanzheng waved his hand and joked with a rare smile:
“Is there anything you can’t eat? Just watch it.”
Lu Miao nodded, "I know."
The house-viewing matter was put aside for the time being, and Lu Miao focused on family matters first.
The market is crowded and cluttered, and the car cannot move around.
Early the next morning, Fu Jingyou put a military coat on Lu Miao and covered her up tightly.
He rode his bicycle and ran with her from market to market.
There are not many leafy vegetables in the winter in the north, but there are some in the shed in the yard at home, so you don’t have to worry about the “vegetarian” in the meat and vegetable combination.
The winter solstice is approaching, and pork is hard to buy in the market, so Lu Miao bought some beef brisket, beef, and mutton.
The lamb chops were not expensive, so she also bought some, and also ordered a piece of silver carp weighing four or five pounds.
There are a lot of frozen products in the seafood market, but if you want to buy them, buy them live or fresh.
It’s not that he really doesn’t have anything to eat, Lu Miao would not buy frozen food under normal circumstances.
So this time.
After walking around and weighing a few kilograms of shrimp, Lu Miao said he would go back.
She is the chef today, but she is afraid that if the guests come early, she will be late.
Tang Mei and Fu Jingyou gathered around to help her cut and wash vegetables.
Lu Yuanzheng had something to say when he saw this scene.
What does it sound like to say that Fu Jingyou is a man, an uncle, always stuck in the kitchen with his wife?
Usually, the young couple just improve the food and start a small stove by themselves. He doesn't say anything to them.
But what is the current situation?
As long as this girl of his family goes to work, the son-in-law must follow her.
As a father, Lu Yuanzheng would be satisfied if his son-in-law treated his girl well.
But after getting along for a long time, he had already seen Fu Jingyou's true nature.
His son-in-law is good at everything, but he has no opinion at all in front of his wife.
He spoils people unbecomingly, like something...
Lu Yuanzheng waved his hand and told me not to interfere.
Afraid that his squeamish girl would get mad, he unbuttoned his cuffs, rolled up his sleeves and took over his uncle's work, going to the greenhouse to pick leafy vegetables.
Lu Miao shook her head, speechless.
Fu Jingyou smiled helplessly and went to coax a few children nearby.
There are many big and small things at home. If you are not allowed to do this, just do that.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanzheng is usually very decisive in other matters, but now he is just picking vegetables, and he is pulling the leaves into longer and shorter ones.
Not to mention that the work was lousy, and he always failed to pay attention to what was going on behind him, trampling on several lettuce seedlings.
Lu Yuanzheng originally thought in his heart that he must pay more attention later.
As a result, a moment later, he trampled down another one and simply waved it off.
This is not a job he can do.
As soon as he came out of the greenhouse and put the handful of vegetable leaves on the kitchen table, Lu Yuanzheng waved his hand and told Fu Jingyou to go.
Looking at the long and short vegetable leaves, Tang Mei couldn’t help but nag Lu Yuanzheng. After a while, she asked Lu Miao again:
"You said your dad is getting more and more nervous as he gets older?"
An old man is more annoying than several younger ones.
“Maybe I’m going through menopause.” Lu Miao responded casually.
Looking to the side, I can’t think of a better explanation.
Even though I didn't buy a lot of ingredients, as it was approaching noon, there were quite a few dishes prepared.
Beef brisket stewed with potatoes, stir-fried beef, stir-fried lamb with green onions, braised lamb chops and boiled fish fillets.
A plate of boiled shrimps and a bowl of shrimp and egg soup.
In addition, there are two plates of crispy green vegetables.
The middle part of the long table is full of things.
The guests arrived at the right time, and when the food was almost ready, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
The person who came was a middle-aged man who was almost the same age as Lu Yuanzheng, and he was holding a child about the same size as Shi An.
Lu Yuanzheng walked out of the hall and greeted everyone along the way.
Lu Miao looked curiously.
Tang Mei nudged her and reminded:
"This is Principal Nie from the People's Liberation Air Force School in the Hebei Wing District. He is also your father's comrade-in-arms. You were young when we met in the past, so I probably don't remember it. Just call me Uncle Nie later..."
Lu Miao nodded. Head, I have an idea in my mind.
Just as Lu Yuanzheng and Nie Yunpeng approached, she nodded and smiled obediently:
“Uncle Nie.”
“Uncle Nie.”
Fu Jingyou shouted after her.
“Hey, hey.”
Nie Yunpeng responded twice in succession, turned his face and glanced around before boasting:
“This is Xiaobao, right? I haven’t seen him for several years. See, she’s so old.”
“She’s the mother of several children, isn’t she?”
Lu Yuanzheng answered the conversation with a smile, and while inviting his old friend to the house, he put his arm around his son-in-law and instructed them to sit at the table together.
Looking at his attitude, Nie Yunpeng knew Fu Jingyou’s identity without any explanation.
Nie Yunpeng tacitly understood it, and praised him a few times, saying that Fu Jingyou was "also a good boy."
Is that possible?
Having broad shoulders, long legs and narrow waist, these were the materials for a royal guard in the past.
Nie Yunpeng nodded repeatedly and determined that Fu Jingyou was indeed a tough and good young man.
The father-in-law, Lu Yuanzheng, was so happy that he took out the two bottles of Laobaigan he had prepared.
Nie Yunpeng waved his hand and said: "Hey - I drove here today. I have to do business, so I won't drink anymore."
"Okay, okay, that's okay too."
< br>Fu Jingyou sat on one side, accompanying the guests with his father-in-law.
The children had short legs and it was not safe to sit on a bench, so they were placed on a small table nearby.
The family is not very particular about having different tables for men and women. When guests come, women are not allowed to sit at the table.
However, a few men chatted, and Tang Mei was in the kitchen and couldn't get out for a while.
Lu Miao felt that it was awkward to sit next to him alone, so he took a pony and sat down at the small table, focusing on taking care of the children.
The appearance of the Nie family children is very outstanding.
The eyelashes are thick and long, the eyes are as black as obsidian, and the lips are red and thin on the wheat-colored face.
Paired with the slightly messy short black hair, she is cute and looks like a young wolf that just escaped from the nest in spring.
The only thing that makes people sigh is thinness.
Too thin.
Compared with the round faces of the others next to him, this child from the Nie family has a thin face and a chin like a melon seed.
Apart from being thin, I also have no energy.
Hei Lingling's eyes were just black, with no sparkle or luster at all. He frowned slightly and pursed his lips, like a dull piece of wood.
This feeling seems familiar.
Lu Miao vaguely felt as if he had seen it somewhere in the past.
