Chapter 787 Sense of Ceremony
Lu Miao followed the plan step by step, and Gu Ying came once in the middle.
Gu Ying had previously said that she would join a team to start a small business together, but Gu Ying has been busy collecting money these days.
She took all the money she could and contacted her parents in Shanghai to help with some subsidies.
A total of three hundred and fifty yuan was raised.
Lu Miao calmly accepted it and told Gu Ying that she still had some unfinished work.
When it’s almost done, go back and show her one by one.
Gu Ying smiled and nodded in agreement.
She leads a class at the nearby Blacksmith Camp Primary School. There are limited teachers, and she is very busy as she rotates through several grades throughout the day.
This trip came during the lunch break and I didn’t even eat.
Lu Miao stayed at home to eat before sending her away.
After that, I continued to be busy in trivial matters. Except for the Wangfujing store where the glass door got stuck, everything else went smoothly.
For glass doors that met Lu Miao’s requirements, Chen Xiangdong found the source manufacturer in Jinmen next door.
But even the manufacturer asked for more than 80 yuan for two glass door panels.
Chen Xiangdong couldn’t believe it, weren’t there just two glass doors?
Can it also be embellished with gold?
Can it be sold for more than 80 yuan?
Chen Xiangdong did not believe in evil and tried to find a more affordable and cheaper replacement. But after looking around, he found that there was only one company that could make door panels.
He traveled back and forth between Beijing and Tianjin several times. Finally, he had no choice but to call Lu Miao to discuss the price and see if he wanted to buy it directly or switch to another door.
Some door panels made of very good wood can be purchased for about ten dollars.
Chen Xiangdong must have suggested that Lu Miao change to something else.
But Lu Miao didn’t think so.
So much investment has been made in the past, there is no reason to be stuck on one door.
As for the high-end style, the decoration style has been considered early in the morning. What does it mean to temporarily change the door to another door and make it look different?
Lu Miao also knows that domestic industrial factories are weak enterprises at this stage.
There are very few things that can be done with certain materials.
And once it can be done, the price will not be much cheaper.
Lu Miao comforted Chen Xiangdong not to worry too much and there was no need to save money that should be spent.
What can Chen Xiangdong say?
You can only follow what she said.
Although someone else paid for it, it was me who handed it over in the last step.
So many "unworthy" real money and platinum investments were made.
Even if Chen Xiangdong had a glimpse of the world, he would still feel pain.
A lot of expenses, in Chen Xiangdong's opinion, are really unnecessary.
But Chen Xiangdong also knew that they were just idlers who helped run errands and had no right to speak.
It's not easy to say anything, so I just don't say anything.
By the end of May, both sides were tidied up, and the smell in the store was almost gone.
Lu Miao set up a small table on the kang at night, thinking about making a recruitment notice.
After preparing for so long, it’s time to prop up the business and slowly recover the interest.
Just as she lowered her head and was about to start working, Fu Jingyou's hand came over and directly covered the notebook she was writing.
"What are you doing?"
"Let's put this aside for now, there are more important things right now."
"Huh?"
Lu Miaoyi His face was confused, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any clues. He simply closed the cap of his pen and waited for his next words.
"Baichuan will be one year old soon. Dad will ask me what he plans to do in the evening and let me discuss it with you."
"Ouch! I've been so busy lately, I actually forgot about this!"
Lu Miao patted her head and said after thinking:
"I've been too busy these days. How about..."
Before she finished speaking, Fu Jingyou started to shake his head:
"No, the full moon and the first birthday are big days, so we can't skip them. This has to be done."
Fu Jingyou is extremely serious.
“Okay.”
Lu Miao raised her eyebrows and seriously discussed it with him. "Then just do the same as last year's full moon. Go to a state-owned hotel and don't want cigarettes this time. Many people don't smoke..."
"Aren't all the gifts given out now? Canned fruit? I’ll give you a gift box in return.”
A set of canned fruits in a gift box costs seven or eight yuan, which is not cheap.
In terms of quantity, it is also a considerable expense.
But the money has to be spent.
Big dates such as full moon and one-year anniversary are rare in life.
Speaking of the birthday celebration for Xiao Baichuan, Lu Miao thought of the other children in the family.
I used to think that the children were too young and had not yet formed their own sense of self, so I skipped birthdays.
Nowadays, children are starting to go to school one after another, and their minds are slowly broadening.
Some rituals to increase beautiful memories and happiness should also be put on the agenda.
With different family atmospheres, the children educated will be different in every aspect from personality to aspect.
Lu Miao's philosophy is that if you can create more warmth and happiness, you will never treat someone harshly or poorly.
"Life should have a sense of ritual. When it comes to the children's birthdays from now on, all the delicious food must be prepared!"
Fu Jingyou's deep eyes were slightly curved, and he said with a smile:
"Also. Come on, you should also feel the ritual.”
In the past, when I was hungry for many years, the only way to feel happy was to have a full stomach.
Where can these levels be considered?
Now that he has been studying seriously for several years and has seen a little bit of the world in big cities, Fu Jingyou's mind has broadened.
Just like my wife said.
Life should have a sense of ritual.
With a sense of ritual, you will become more and more hopeful.
Lu Miao smiled coquettishly:
"I gave it to you too!"
Of course the elders cannot be left behind.
But having said that, Lu Miao also reflected a little.
In the past, she only cared about having fun, and she didn’t even know when the birthdays of her two elders in the family were.
If you find a suitable opportunity tomorrow, you have to ask and write it down carefully.
Things about the store will be put aside for now.
The family is actively busy with the children's affairs.
Original said that just canned food would be enough as a return gift. Fu Jingyou thought it would not look good with one hand, so he bought Zhonghua Cigarettes instead.
Lu Miao said nothing.
It’s actually good to return the favor with a gift.
Even though it's a wedding and you're treating people to a drink, you're also charging people's money, right?
There are many children in the family. It’s embarrassing to do this thing this time and that thing next time. It’s always the same thing.
Let’s talk more about Xiaobaichuan’s birthday party on June 7th.
Last year, Xiaobaichuan Full Moon only reserved the second floor of the state-owned hotel.
This year’s event will be even bigger.
Fu Jingyou negotiated with others and directly booked the entire state-owned hotel.
There were many people coming, and the first thing they came to see was Lu Yuanzheng’s face.
The second reason is because of Fu Jingyou, a rising star who was assigned the position of deputy director of a state-owned factory just after graduation.
Through this incident, everyone can always find out something in advance.
So not only the interactions between the fathers, but also the dignitaries who came that day mostly brought their wives and family members.
Everyone intends to build a deep relationship and continue it.
In particular, the Fu family has only passed one college student.
The end of the year is coming soon, and the other one is also graduating!
