At about the same time, news came from Chen Xiangdong.
Lu Miao wanted to recruit someone, but he wanted a girl, and they didn’t have any there.
But when they were selling goods in East and West City, they often went to eat at a hidden noodle stall in a small alley.
The proprietress of the noodle stall has a daughter. She is eighteen or nineteen years old. She has attended elementary school and can recognize some words.
It is in line with Lu Miao's requirements.
When it came to recruiting workers at this time, most people's thinking was still at the stage where there were only state-owned factories on the market.
Chen Xiangdong told someone about the news and asked about it. The other person was very positive and happy when he heard that he could introduce the job.
Ask directly when you can see the leader and let him see if he is satisfied.
Lu Miao was not in Beijing, so Chen Xiangdong gave a vague answer, saying only that it was just for a while.
After Lu Miao returned to Beijing, Chen Xiangdong came over immediately to convey the news.
Let Lu Miao confirm the meeting time, and he will go there to inform her when he has time to prevent her from doing things.
Lu Miao thanked Chen Xiangdong again and again.
Thinking that several children would attend summer camp the next day, we set a time to meet the day after tomorrow.
At ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, people will go directly to the small courtyard of the factory.
She will be ready when she comes back from dropping off the child tomorrow.
Also give the other side some time to mentally prepare.
The matter was settled just like that.
Seeing Chen Xiangdong coming over lightly dressed, he didn’t look like anything was going on behind him. When he was about to leave, Lu Miao called him down directly:
“Wait a minute, you guys have your own business there too. Let's start cooking, shall we? The beans are about to ripen, and I can't finish them because they're growing so fast. I'll pick some for you and take them back."
Lu Miao said and went directly to the courtyard.
There are two rows of climbing frames set up against the wall of the vegetable patch in the courtyard.
The sun is strong in summer, the sunshine is sufficient, and the well is not far away, so watering is easy.
A few bean plants grew wildly, and some even climbed up the walls and onto the roof.
"Pick the other side of the wall. After picking, just pull out the few plants and they will all crawl outside the wall."
When Lu Miao was picking beans, Tang Mei Nagging next to you:
"You weren't at home a few days ago, and I don't know what disgusting thing was pulling vines and picking beans outside the wall. It took down several tiles from the wall."
Lu Miao took advantage of the situation. I took a look at the wall and saw that there was really a piece missing.
"Let's wait until Brother You comes back later and let him take a look at it."
"..."
Chen Xiangdong is not dead.
Don’t you have enough eyesight?
With him here, why do we need to wait for Fu Jingyou to come back to do this kind of thing?
"The tiles will be repaired when Brother Six comes back. I will do the vegetable patch."
Chen Xiangdong rolled up his sleeves directly.
After Lu Miao heard this, he smiled and stopped being polite to him:
"Okay!"
Determined to pull out the vines against the wall, Lu Miao picked all the beans.
This thing is not very picky about the planting environment.
If you satisfy any one or two of water, fertilizer and light, you can live a long life.
Although there are only a few vines, the basin Lu Miao used to wash vegetables took two large basins, weighing eight or nine kilograms.
There are still a few vines in the vegetable patch, and beans are hung on the shelves.
Thinking that there were many people there like Chen Xiangdong, Lu Miao didn't leave any for his family, but found a big snake skin and put it all on him.
Chen Xiangdong left with the beans, but did not directly return to the rented courtyard.
Instead, he got on his bicycle and went to the small courtyard of the factory that Lu Miao rented.
Lu Miao gave Mei Zi another monthly payment separately, and said it was free, and she could still eat there.
Meizi felt very embarrassed about taking money and eating at the same time.
I brought the stove from home to the small courtyard of the factory building, and also brought some coarse grains, rice and noodles.
I usually take some free time and eat directly in the small courtyard of the factory at noon.
I also had dinner here, then locked the door directly and went to the literacy class. When Lu Miao and the others returned to the south, Chen Xiangdong came here several times to pick up goods.
Seeing that Meizi opened fire on her own, Chen Xiangdong and Meizi calculated it.
Ask if you can bring some rations to join us so that he won’t have to go out to buy them while running back and forth.
Mei Zi is enthusiastic and naturally will not refuse.
The two of them had been eating together for several days.
This time Lu Miao gave the beans, and Chen Xiangdong carried them directly to the factory courtyard.
There are usually people in the small courtyard, and the courtyard door seems to be closed, but in fact it is not bolted.
Chen Xiangdong got off his bicycle somewhere.
Tender beans can be kept for two more days. He picked them out once at the door.
After picking out all the tender ones, he pushed the door open and went in without saying much.
I put the things in the kitchen, then came out again, picked up the bags and left.
In the room, Meizi tilted her head and directed several female comrades in their work. She was so busy that she didn't even know he was here.
But the only person who eats here, besides Meizi, is Chen Xiangdong.
After work in the afternoon, Meizi went into the kitchen to get something to eat. As soon as Meizi saw the things, she knew that Chen Xiangdong had brought them.
There was a "partnership" agreement in advance, so Meizi didn't hesitate.
I washed a small handful of beans and cut them into sections. Meizi soaked some water in a small pot, poured the beans in and stir-fried them directly with salt.
Fry until soft and cooked, put into the leftover steamed buns from lunch, and eat directly.
......
The children are participating in summer camp and are required to gather at the Children's Palace at eight o'clock in the morning.
Fu Jingyou goes to work at 8:30 in the summer and can’t make it in time.
Lu Miao left him alone.
Take the children to have breakfast at home. After the meal, Lu Miao and Lu Yuanzheng send the children to Jingshan together.
The gap between rich and poor seems to exist everywhere since ancient times.
Although the Children's Palace charges a lot of money, there were quite a few children participating in the summer camp that day.
There must be people from Bai Laihao.
Lu Miao stayed in the Children's Palace for a while, carefully straightening the red scarves of Shi An and Nie Yunge.
Remind them to drink water from the small kettle and to keep an eye on their younger siblings.
The teacher clapped her hands and whistled, calling many children to gather outside and line up to get on the bus.
Lu Miao watched them get into the car before walking back.
I didn’t even enter the house when I arrived at Qingta Hutong. I brushed my loose hair away from my ears and went directly to the factory.
After returning to Beijing, this was the first time Lu Miao came to this small courtyard.
After such a long time, everyone was very nervous when they suddenly saw her.
Everyone put down their work and stood up to look at her cautiously.
Lu Miao waved her hand, "You guys keep busy, I'll come over and take a look."
"Sister-in-law~!"
Mei Zi stood up to greet her, her smile was like rapeseed blooming in spring. Flowers are bright and full of life.
Lu Miao was infected by her sunshine, her forehead curled up, and she patted the hand on her arm
The two went to the room to talk together.
When he first rented a house, the owner didn’t want the old cupboards in the yard, so Lu Miao should have thrown them away.
What should be used as firewood should be used as firewood.
Nowadays, there are several tables placed inside and outside to facilitate work.
The room was also empty, except for a few half-bulging snakeskin bags.
The clothes are all hair ropes made recently, and Meizi has settled them.
These are all explained in advance, so Meizi does not need to explain anything.
Lu Miao waited for Mei Zi to unlock the door, then entered the house and opened the bag, grabbing a handful at random and looking at it. (End of this chapter)
