Lian Baichuan also joined in the fun, being taught how to count candies by his brothers and sisters.
Lu Miao asked Shi An to be careful and not to hurt his hands, then turned around and continued:
"These are the same candies. Wouldn't it be nice for the children who come over to play to eat some, and then pack some for them as gifts in return? It's not easy to buy things here."
Tang Mei shook her head and said:
"You always have the most reasons in the family!"
"I am being reasonable, not looking for excuses~"
Several children turned to look over. Lu Miao walked over slowly, touched Shi An's head and said:
"If you have something you like, you can plan it first. If you really like it and need it, and you can afford it, you can buy it. But you need to think carefully about your daily actions. You can't spend it carelessly, nor can you save blindly."
The young boy Shi An nodded and quickly concluded:
“We must respond flexibly based on the actual situation!”
Lu Miao curled her eyes and smiled, praising without hesitation:
"Awesome."
Shi An happily accepted her aunt's praise and continued to tie small packages with her brothers and sisters with a smile on her face.
There is a housewarming party to be held at home. I don’t have to say how every corner should be tidied up, but it must be acceptable on the surface.
Clean up here today and clean up there tomorrow. Tang Mei will scrub it carefully when she has time.
Wang Xiu is very discerning and capable.
Busy in and out, she followed Tang Mei to clean up. Tang Mei always praised her when she saw her.
In comparison, Xu Xiangxiang was not as good as Wang Xiu in terms of cleaning and tidying up.
One is slow.
Secondly, under slow work, what comes out is not "fine work".
But Xu Vanilla is not without its advantages.
Just like when it comes to looking after children.
Shi'an, Mingyi, and Mingxia are all grown up and don't need much care.
But Baichuan still needs it.
Lu Miao had noticed that Xu Xiangxiang was looking after Bai Chuan and was very attentive when playing with Bai Chuan.
This can be regarded as her personal strength when she was a nanny.
Excluding referrals from acquaintances, it is really not easy to find a reliable nanny outside.
Lu Miao thought it would be okay if Xu Xiangxiang could help take care of the children, so she kept these two people.
Time flies, and finally the day of the housewarming party arrives on August 12th.
Some of the guests who came were familiar with the elders.
There are colleagues or classmates that Fu Jingyou worked with in the past.
There were even invitations from Lu Miao and the children
The adults entered the yard and looked around, and all of them were amazed.
They all say that the decoration is good and the house is so grand.
The children were noisy and had gathered together to play early.
Someone saw the cactus hanging by Lu Miao on the balcony railing and pointed it out and asked what it was for.
Lu Yuanzheng smiled and said that the children at home were just messing around.
The visitors only thought they were Shi An and Dabao, and probably no one would have imagined that the child in Lu Yuanzheng's mouth was as old as Lu Miao.
Lu Miao picked up Minmin on the first day.
Minmin is not very gregarious, but very sensible.
In order for the banquet hosted by her uncle and aunt to go smoothly, Minmin also played the role of a sister when other children were playing around, watching closely from the side.
Besides, people who have posted messages to me before have basically promised to come.
But it was almost time for the banquet to start. Lu Miao walked around and looked around, but didn't see Chen Xiangdong.
If others don't come, Chen Xiangdong will definitely come. This shouldn't be the case.
Lu Miao was puzzled and asked Mei Zi and Lin Xian to find out what was going on.
It turns out that a telegram was sent from Tianjin Port yesterday, saying that you should bring your documents to pick up the goods.
Chen Xiangdong didn't catch the bus until early in the morning.
Lu Miao had a rough idea and guessed that the batch of essential oils he bought earlier had passed inspection and landed at the port. Chen Xiangdong didn't know when he would be back, and the banquet couldn't wait.
Lu Miao simply stopped waiting and started the dinner as usual.
It's hard to buy things outside, so Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou ordered a lot of dishes in advance at a state-owned restaurant.
Including what I prepared, a total of five tables were opened at home.
One of the tables is a kids table.
Most of the dishes on the children's table were prepared in advance by Lu Miao, Wang Xiu and Xu Xiangxiang.
There are only a few meaty and hard dishes, and most of them are soft and sweet snacks that children like.
For example, pumpkin pie, French fries, shredded sweet potatoes, sweet soup, and little rabbit rice balls made with seaweed.
Fu Jingyou and Lu Yuanzheng sat at the table to accompany the guests.
Lu Miao sat at the children's table, taking care of them and playing with them.

The adults' table was noisy while drinking and eating, and the children's table was no less generous.
Especially after the 14-inch cake was put on the table, the sounds of surprise and excited screams came one after another:
"Wow~! What a big cake!"
"My birthday is in April, and my mother only bought me a small one!"
"My mother said that cakes are very expensive. She didn't even buy them for my last birthday. She only bought me two pieces of chicken cake..."
"Shi'an/Brother Shi'an, I wish you a happy birthday!"
After the children praised it, some children turned around and called their parents and grandparents, saying that they would also like cakes for their next birthday.
Lu Miao lit candles on the cake, and while the three children closed their eyes and made wishes, she was smiling and singing happy birthday to the other children.
The adults at the tables next to me turned around to look at them and said with a smile:
"The house is bright and beautiful, and the banquet is lively. It can be seen that it has been carefully prepared!"
"Haha, yes, yes!"
The whole hall was extremely lively.
Just when the three children blew out the candles and Lu Miao took the plastic knife to divide the cake, pushing the atmosphere to a new level, Wang Xiu ran over and stood at the door of the hall, waving and shouting:
"Sister Lu!"
Many people came today, and the main entrance was opened in the front yard.
Lu Miao asked Tang Mei to pack separate meals for Xu Xiangxiang and Wang Xiu, and asked them to check on the door while they were eating in front.
Wang Xiu ran over at this time, there must be something going on ahead.
After Lu Miao divided the two pieces of cake in his hand, he handed the plastic knife to Shi An:
"Shi'an, share it with everyone. If the large pieces are not stable, you can cut them into smaller pieces."
"I know, Auntie."
Lu Miao patted his head, removed his hand and walked out.
Some of the visitors didn't pay attention, while others thought the servant wanted to ask Lu Miao something, so they didn't take it seriously.
Fu Jingyou is different.
Although he was drinking with the elders and guests, he always paid attention to the situation at the children's table.
Seeing Lu Miao get up and walk out, Fu Jingyou whispered to her father-in-law and left the table briefly.
When Fu Jingyou left the hall, Lu Miao had already finished asking Wang Xiu about the situation and was about to go to the front yard.
Fu Jingyou followed up and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Yu Hong is here. There should be some arrangements in the club."
The address of Lu Miao's new home has not yet been reported.
Yu Hong first knocked the door lock in Qingta Hutong, and then asked her neighbors before finding her way here.
Yu Hong also wandered around the door for a long time before she dared to come in and ask if it was Minister Lu's home.
Xu Xiangxiang and Wang Xiu are both new here, so how do they know what "a minister is not a minister"?
Fortunately, Wang Xiu was smart. Hearing Yu Hong mention the word "Lu", he said to go in and ask.
That's what happened now. (End of chapter)
