Chapter 1008 What are the shortcomings
Probably good people are going both ways.
So both sides can go a long way...
Besides, time passed slowly. At the end of May, the construction team of Nanjie Xiaoyuan completed the work.
Lu Miao went over to check and accept it, and after confirming that there was no problem, he went there with Fu Jingyou intermittently.
The house is almost ready.
The only thing left is to dissipate the paint smell, so I will clean it up carefully when I check in later.
And then there is the garden.
There are several partitions built into the garden by the courtyard wall, and both Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou plan to slowly decorate them.
Slowly fill in the front to create a nice scene.
Shopping for groceries here is not as convenient as Qingta Hutong.
Walking in, there will be no outsiders' area at the back. You can choose a few sunny areas to open two small vegetable plots.
After you move in, you can grow whatever you like without having to go out all the time.
Just do it if you think of it.
There were no good flower seeds outside for the time being, so Lu Miao brought over the gardenias grown hydroponically in the courtyard of Qingta Hutong.
Pick a corner you like and plant a few plants.
Fu Jingyou said that the crabapples and magnolias in spring in northern Beijing were beautiful. He bought some plants from people around and planted them in several corners of the garden.
In addition, there are small-leaf red maple and osmanthus trees.
Common fruit trees such as pomegranate trees and peach trees have also been planted.
They were tinkering here carefully, and Lu Yuanzheng and Tang Mei also came over to take a look.
The small courtyard is spacious and elegant, and it's perfect anywhere.
Even when Tang Mei went into the house and took a look, she always said that the walls were empty.
Lu Yuanzheng walked around the house a few times, but didn't think anything at first.
After Tang Mei said this, when she went into the room to take a look, she felt that it was really empty.
It always makes people feel that there is something shortcoming...
Tang Mei said:
"If I want to buy a larger portrait of the Chairman and hang it up, that should be enough, right?"
Lu Yuanzheng nodded, thinking it was feasible.
But the hall is long and spacious, and a single portrait of the chairman is still empty.
Lu Yuanzheng thought about it for a long time. Later, when the family drove back to Qingta Alley, he came up with an idea:
"You two have a lot of time on Saturday."
Lu Yuanzheng glanced at the young couple in the back row from the rearview mirror, then looked at Tang Mei beside him and said:
"You too."
"What?"
Lu Miao was confused: "Who posted the message again?"
"No one has posted anything. I see that the living room over there is bright and spacious. I thought it would be perfect to hang a family photo on the wall."
There was a rare hint of smile in Lu Yuanzheng's voice as he continued:
"I'm going to give the children a day off this Saturday. Instead of going to the Children's Palace, our family will pack up and go to the photo studio to take some pictures."
"This is arranged well."
Before Lu Miao could speak, Fu Jingyou expressed his stance first.
Fu Jingyou added:
"When I develop the photos, I'll ask someone to develop them in a larger size, and I'll pick a better frame and frame them."
"That's what it means!"
Lu Miao and Tang Mei had no objections, so they didn't interrupt much.
The two men, who usually didn't talk much, now chatted passionately.
Speaking of taking family photos, the family began to prepare to varying degrees after arriving home.
On Saturday, Fu Jingyou drove his family of eight to the photo studio in two trips.
During this period, when I went out to walk around the alley, the neighbors in the alley craned their necks and looked at me quietly.
Neighbors are all thinking: This big family is wearing Chinese tunic suits and skirts and cheongsams.
What are you going to do with such a gorgeous pomp?
Besides, when taking family photos, after they were all about to go home, Lu Miao suddenly remembered something.
I didn’t bring Minmin with me this time!
But thinking about it, Lu Miao felt relieved again.
Minmin just came to Beijing and didn't stay with Lu Yuanzheng and Tang Mei for long.
In terms of relationship, it is definitely not as deep as the one between the elder and Shi An.
To put it bluntly, in the hearts of the two elders, Minmin is probably still an outsider.
It's a bit inappropriate to pull Minmin over...
She asked Fu Jingyou to send Lu Yuanzheng and Tang Mei back first, and when Fu Jingyou came back, Lu Miao asked him to pick up Minmin alone.
It seemed a bit abrupt to drag Minmin to take a family photo with Lu Yuanzheng and Tang Mei.
But they can take Minmin with them to take a family photo of their little family.
Lu Miao arranged it like this. When Minmin came over, she held Bai Chuan and Fu Jingyou in her arms and sat upright on the chair.
This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
Mingxia and Minmin stood obediently on both sides.
Shi'an and Mingyi stood behind the chairs, between their parents' shoulders.
"Hey, okay! Smile~"
Following a word from the master photographer, a white light flashed.
A scene of a large family of seven, all curling their lips and baring their little white teeth.
This moment is recorded forever.
Around this time, Lu Miao also received a letter from Geng Xiaoyun.
Geng Xiaoyun mentioned in the letter that after her brother Geng Junhao got married last year, she, the older sister, will also get married in August this year.
This letter is a greeting in advance.
Make an appointment with Lu Miao and invite them to come and play there. It is best to bring the children with you.
Lu Miao clamped the letter and handed it to Fu Jingyou:
"Will you go with me then?"
The handwriting emphasizing "must be there" takes up a lot of space in the letter.
Anyone who saw it would be embarrassed to refuse.
After Fu Jingyou finished reading, he nodded softly:
"The time will come when the time comes."
"Hmm~"
Now that I have started a small business, it is easy to arrange my time.
And...
She and her friend Geng Xiaoyun had indeed not seen each other for several years.
Lu Miao nodded with a smile, went into the room and placed a book on the small kang table, took out the letter paper and wrote a reply to Geng Xiaoyun.
She was immersed in writing a letter. Fu Jingyou followed her into the room, closed the door and sat down next to her and said:
"Miaomiao."
"Huh?"
Lu Miao glanced at him and continued to summarize the words and write a reply:
"What's the matter, you can't say anything yet?"
"No."
Fu Jingyou shook his head slightly and thought for a while before saying:
"Things in the north of Beijing are almost taken care of. There is nothing else to do. I plan to go back to the south."
Lu Miao paused her hands slightly, raised her eyebrows and pursed her lips slightly, and looked at him with confusion:
"I just came back for the Chinese New Year not long ago, so why do I suddenly want to go back again?"
"I've been resting for a while, and I almost have to think about work."
Fu Jingyou's deep and soft eyes brushed the broken hair on the side of her face and said:
"Beijing is far away from my hometown. Now that I have joined the job, I will most likely not be able to go back during the year-end vacation. I just thought it would be a good time to go back."
It will be June soon, and there will be more and more work in the countryside.
He went back and picked it up, just in time to help the old couple do something.
When I go to Beijing and come back later, I have to devote myself to work.
Lu Miao nodded.
After thinking for a while, she put down the pen, turned around, held the thumb and little finger of Fu Jingyou's left hand respectively and played with them:
"I'll go back with you and take Baichuan with me."
