According to what Lu Miao said, Lu Yuanzheng brought back some bricks and clay and built a brick-earth kiln oven in the corner of the yard.
While he was busy working in and out of the house, Lu Miao was not idle either.
Leaving the child with Tang Mei, Lu Miao took Mei Zi to several nearby supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores, and bought some spices and seasonings.
Some other small items for the Spring Festival were also purchased in advance.
So as not to catch up with the rush hour and go there and fight with everyone.
On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month in the north, the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month is the day when the New Year’s Eve celebration is held in the small courtyard.
After the Spring Festival last year, all the relatives and friends of the Lu family knew that Lu Yuanzheng and Tang Mei came to live in Xier with their children.
So this time, there are many people coming to the small courtyard to have New Year’s wine.
Lu Miao knew some of them, but had no impression of others. He was led to get to know them again by his family elders.
A few children came to the house.
Chen Pan, the granddaughter of President Chen of Peking University, is seven years old and is the eldest among the girls.
Then there are the two grandsons of the Nie family, one named Nie Yunge, who came back to live in the small courtyard.
One named Nie Yunting came back for the first time.
As soon as they entered the small courtyard, they held hands with Erbao, the elder sister and the younger sister.
Lu Miao originally thought that the two children of the Nie family were biological brothers.
Later, when I saw that the two people had completely different personalities, one had a ruddy complexion and the other was weak and thin, I realized something was wrong.
After asking Tang Mei, I found out that the two children are not biological brothers, but their father is.
As a mother, Lu Miao actually hates seeing her children being wronged.
Seeing that Nie Yunge was not gregarious, she calmly called her two children to her side and silently asked her to play with her brother.
Be courteous and friendly to others.
Just be like you usually are when you are with brother Shi An.
The two little ones nodded obediently.
Among them, Xiao Mingxia is the most serious.
Like brother Shi An, he is his brother.
The little girl will be mistaken.
Recalling the usual scenes of the three brothers and sisters carrying each other on their backs, hugging each other, holding hands, and kissing, they could do this even if they thought they were their brothers.
After turning around and playing for a while, he pulled the dull little boy and gave him a "squeak" directly on his face.
Nie Yunge stood there covering his face, looking at Xiaotuanzi with a horrified look on his face.
The little dumplings are white and tender, smiling innocently like a little sun.
Took him and walked aside, his voice was milky, sweet and well-behaved:
"Brother, I will take you to pick strawberries. The strawberries are sour and sweet, and they are delicious~"
Nie Yunge was stunned and shocked. He touched his face with one hand and let her pull him away with the other.
Lu Miao had marinated the lamb leg last night and heated up the oven this morning.
Put the leg of lamb on an iron plate and send it to the stove for roasting. At noon, everyone arrived one by one, and the fragrant leg of lamb was just coming out of the oven.
She cut open the leg of lamb and served it to the table. The elders sat down to eat New Year wine and chat.
She scooped some flour, added sugar and milk powder, and kneaded it with water.
After the stew oven was heated up again, Lu Miao and Mei Zi took the time to bake buns outside with the children.
Mei Zi was called by Lu Miao.
She is just a little girl, and she can’t eat much rations for meals. The key is to live alone, and it’s very cold in the house without a kang.
After winter came, Lu Miao simply called her to come here to stay.
The children were exposed to and participated in baking bread for the first time, and every one of them was extremely curious. Even Nie Yunge also mobilized.
Although it is outdoors, it is warm and does not feel cold when standing next to the oven.
After making a group of children happy, Lu Miao took the children into the house with the milk-flavored buns and overheard the chatter of the elders.
It’s about the Ling family.
Speaking of the Ling family, Lu Miao looked around.
Just now she was just playing with the children, but now she realized with hindsight that no one from the Ling family came over when her family held a New Year's Eve celebration.
How to say it?
A bit unexpected.
Lu Miao thought for a while and wondered if what she said to Ling Yuan that day was a bit too unkind, so no one from the Ling family came over.
As a result, I realized that it was not the case while sitting at the table eating and listening to the elders' constant chatter.
"Where is Xiao Fu, why haven't you seen this person?"
Chen Rivet on the table asked about Fu Jingyou's whereabouts. Lu Yuanzheng took a sip of wine and said frankly:
“Go back to my hometown in the south Now, both children’s household registrations have been transferred here, and there is some problem with the homestead over there. This time, they are going home to repair the house.”
Nie Jinpeng glanced at Lu Miao and the children. ：
"It's the Chinese New Year too. Didn't Xiaobao and the children go back with him?"
"Xiaofu is considerate. It's okay if the mothers don't go back. Let's not talk about the fact that the little one is still crying for food. It's not good. After a long trip, there were a lot of repairs going on in the house. Dust, bricks and tiles..."
After Chen Rivet knew what was going on, he continued:
"The half-grown kid doesn't know anything, and he will bump into something again. What to do? "
Lu Yuanzheng nodded.
This is the truth.
The son-in-law was praised, and his father-in-law was also happy. He immediately held the wine cup and took another sip with a smile in his eyes.
Nie Jinpeng's mind is not that delicate. When Chen Rivet mentioned it, he thought it was right, so he nodded:
"Haha, that's right, come on, drink, drink."
The sound of clinking glasses immediately sounded on the table.
Fu Jingyou and Ling Yuan are juniors of the same generation who are similar in age.
When Fu Jingyou was mentioned, the topic naturally continued to what happened with the Ling family just now.
I naturally talked about the young couple in Lingyuan.
“I’m afraid I’ll have to spend the New Year in the hospital because of this trouble?”
“This is the most troublesome thing during the New Year, but how old is that boy from the Ling family? ? There are still several decades to come...I heard that Lao Ling fainted several times because of this."
"Hey, this is a serious matter... Didn't Lao Ling ask more about it at the beginning?"
"What are you asking about?"
"What else could it be!? It must be the woman's side The details of marrying a virtuous wife, It's okay to have your own ideas, but don't make the house uneasy... Tell me, your good future is ruined, isn't it? Why are you so irrational? "
After drinking, The words of several people at the table also became dense.
Lu Miao listened intermittently for a long time and finally got a general idea.
Majors with a two-year academic system have begun to participate in distribution intermittently.
Like Fu Jingyou, he is connected with state-owned factories.
Ling Yuan studied agriculture. He has excellent grades and has always been among the top ten in the professional academy.
The professional course teachers were very optimistic about him and made a series of applications to the school.
Lu Yuanzheng also helped him out a few times a while ago and successfully secured the opportunity for him to accompany him to the hybrid rice research and exchange conference in the United States.
This time, China was supposed to transfer "hybrid rice cultivation technology" to the United States. (End of this chapter)
