Not to mention the high starting point, Lu Miao used all his strength in advance, and Master Dong really taught with all his heart.
Minmin was young and had very limited education. Master Dong asked her to watch from the side when he was busy.
Once Master Dong is free, he will teach her theory and also teach her how to read.
Occasionally, I will take her through visual aspects to slowly identify the year and material of things based on some details.
But after all, Minmin was young and had just arrived in the city, so Lu Miao felt uneasy.
This time I came over and took a look at Minmin's condition with Gu Ying.
Seeing that Minmin was fine and her expression was more stable and calm than before, Lu Miao felt relieved.
After taking a half-day off from the cultural center, Lu Miao went shopping along the road. She took Minmin with her and bought some seasonal clothes along the way.
"Put the clothes you changed on first. I will visit you in a few days. I will take them home and wash them before sending them over to you."
Lu Miao ordered along the street, while Minmin nodded obediently.
We met a newly opened western restaurant at noon. When the three of them went in and sat down to try something new, Lu Miao looked at Gu Ying's belly and asked:
"Have you been to the hospital recently? If you can take time off, go and have a look, or do a physical examination."
Gu Ying touched her belly and said with a smile:
"I just went there last week. The doctor took an ultrasound and said everything was normal."
Lu Miao nodded:
"That's good."
Gu Ying is more than five months pregnant, but she still doesn't show her pregnancy.
A while ago it wasn't even very visible.
The weather has been warm these days, and there is no need to wear a heavy cotton jacket to see the slight curvature of her abdomen.
Lu Miao was a little worried at first, but when she heard that she had had a B-ultrasound and the doctor said there was nothing wrong, she felt relieved.
Some pregnant women do have this situation.
In the early stages of pregnancy, the belly is not visible, but in a certain month it looks like a balloon has been blown up.
It seems to have grown bigger in the blink of an eye...
Lu Miao ordered several desserts, one for each of her and Gu Ying, and the others were placed in front of Minmin.
After patting his head and letting Minmin eat slowly, Lu Miao chatted with Gu Ying about something else.
For example, does she find it difficult to go to work now, and how is Xie Fei's postgraduate entrance examination going?
"I'm fine. You guys live close by, so I can help with anything."
Gu Ying smiled at first. When it came to Xie Fei, her smile faded a little and she sighed:
"When I came back from get off work before, he was still reading some books. My stomach was gradually able to see a little bit better, but he stopped reading..."
In the past, Xie Fei always kept himself out of things, so he didn't feel anything.
But it's different now. Xie Fei has Gu Ying in his heart and has a family.
Considering the employment prospects after taking the postgraduate entrance examination, even if you directly participate in the project, you will inevitably have to travel all over the country.
Xie Fei actually already had a choice in his mind.
Especially since Gu Ying was pregnant, she couldn't live without people around her.
Once the child is born, it becomes even more inseparable.
Xie Fei would not be willing to leave home.
It is inevitable to give up the postgraduate entrance examination.
Lu Miao could understand Xie Fei after just a little thought.
She patted Gu Ying and comforted her:
"The job in front of Xie Fei is not bad. With Uncle Xie here, he will have a lot of room for promotion in the future... Don't worry too much, but also respect his choice. As long as he knows what he wants, that's it."
Gu Ying nodded and smiled reluctantly, but she still had some worries in her heart.
Lu Miao had no choice but to distract her attention by mentioning her recent soap making.
Gu Ying smiled and said:
"I know about this. I met Meizi in the alley the day before yesterday, and she told me about it."
Lu Miao shook her head and laughed:
"I knew she wouldn't be able to hide it when it came to her."
Gu Ying "hum hummed", her smile became brighter and brighter with amuse.
Lu Miao told her that when the testing qualification certificate comes out and it is confirmed that there is no problem, he will send her some supplies. Gu Ying smiled and nodded in agreement.
After eating, we walked around for a while.
After all, Gu Ying is a pregnant woman and has limited physical strength.
Seeing her tired face, Lu Miao said back.
But when Min Min was sent back to the cultural center, the little girl's eyes were red and she turned back three times with great reluctance.
Lu Miao's heart was heavy, and she waved to call the little girl forward again.
She hugged Minmin and promised:
"When you move back to your new home, your aunt will take you back to live there, okay?"
Although Minmin is thirteen years old, she is thin and small and does not look like she is thirteen years old at all.
If it weren't for the fact that there were no conditions for pick-up and drop-off, Lu Miao really wouldn't have arranged for such a small number of people to live in the dormitory.
Let’s move into a new home later...
The new family is big, and it will definitely be equipped with family support staff such as nannies and drivers.
Then we can take Minmin back to live with her.
Minmin wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, her eyelashes were wet, but she said sensibly:
"Auntie, it's good for me here. I live alone in the dormitory. My master takes me with me when I eat. I have meat for every meal. A particularly big piece of meat is so good!"
How could a little girl not want to be with those close to her?
But I am also afraid that I will trouble my uncle and aunt...
Lu Miao saw through Minmin's sensibleness and strength, but did not criticize her.
He just touched Minmin's blushing face and asked her to study hard.
Minmin nodded seriously, waved and ran into the cultural center.
Lu Miao sighed, turned around and smiled at Gu Ying:
"Let's go!"
"Yeah."
The two of them chatted and laughed and took the bus home.
When Fu Jingyou and Xie Fei arrived home, Lu Miao didn't let Gu Ying go back either:
"You are home alone when you go back now. It is not difficult to cook for two people, but it is also troublesome, right? Just eat here today!"
Tang Mei was also advising:
"They must come directly here when they come back from fishing. Just wait here, it will be more lively!"
Gu Ying didn't refuse.
Lu Miao made tea, and Gu Ying, Lu Miao and Bai Chuan drank tea and watched TV in the main room.
It happened to be the time for get off work in the small courtyard of the factory to get off work.
Not long after Lu Miao sat down, the courtyard door of his home was knocked.
Lin Xian came over and said she wanted to take a day off.
Lin Xian has been following Lu Miao for a long time.
In the past, she kept the store alone and never asked for leave. This time she suddenly asked for leave, it must be due to special circumstances.
Lu Miao didn't ask her too much about her personal situation, and just nodded and asked her to go about her business. He was afraid that one day off would not be enough for her, so he said he would give her a few more days.
Lin Xian waved her hand quickly:
"Sister Lu, one day is enough. I will be back the next day!"
Lin Xian insisted, but Lu Miao didn't say much. He just told her to see the situation. If she was too busy, it would be okay to come back later.
Not long after seeing Lin Xian off, there was a knock on the courtyard door again.
It was Fu Jingyou who came back this time.
It's just that unlike when they went out, they were both half dry and half wet, and their trouser legs were still muddy.
Lu Miao made a "tsk" sound and frowned. Fu Jingyou seemed to know what she wanted to say. He carried the iron bucket into the yard and said:
"It's all Jie Fei's fault."
"..."
Xie Fei, who followed behind, had a rare look of indignation on his face:
"What does it have to do with me? It's all thanks to Chen Xiangdong!" (End of Chapter)
