Chapter 1008 What are the shortcomings

Maybe the good people are running in both directions.

So we can go a long way together...

As time went by, at the end of May, the South Street Courtyard construction team completed the work.

Lu Miao went to inspect it and confirmed that there were no problems. He then went there frequently with Fu Jingyou.

The house is almost ready.

It just needs to get rid of the paint smell, and then I can clean it up carefully when I move in later.

Another thing is the garden.

The garden was divided into several parts by the walls, and Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou planned to renovate it slowly.

Slowly fill in the front and create some beautiful scenery.

It's not as convenient to buy groceries around here as in Qingta Hutong.

Going further in, there is an area at the back where few outsiders come in. You can choose a few sunny spots to start two small vegetable plots.

After you move in, you can plant whatever you like to eat without having to go out all the time.

Just do it if you think of it.

Since there were no good flower seeds to be found outside for the time being, Lu Miao brought the gardenias that were grown hydroponically in the courtyard of Qingta Hutong over there.

Pick a corner you like and plant a few plants.

Fu Jingyou said that the crabapple and magnolia flowers in northern Beijing were beautiful in spring, so he asked around and bought a few, which he planted in several corners of the garden.

In addition, there are small-leaf red maple and osmanthus trees.

Several common fruit trees such as pomegranate trees and peach trees were also planted.

They were tinkering with it carefully, and Lu Yuanzheng and Tang Mei came over to take a look.

The courtyard is spacious and elegant, and every detail is good.

Even Tang Mei would go into the room and look, and always say that there was a gap on the wall.

Lu Yuanzheng walked around the house a few times and didn't think anything of it.

After hearing what Tang Mei said, when I went into the house to take a look, I felt that it seemed a bit empty.

It always makes me feel like something is missing...

Tang Mei said:
"I think it would be enough if I bought a bigger portrait of the Chairman and hung it up."

Lu Yuanzheng nodded and thought it was feasible.

But the hall is long and spacious, and even the portrait of the Chairman is empty.

Lu Yuanzheng thought for a long time. When the family drove back to Qingta Hutong, he finally came up with an idea:

"You two should keep your time free on Saturday."

Lu Yuanzheng glanced at the young couple in the back seat through the rearview mirror, then looked at Tang Mei beside him and said:

"You too."

"what?"

Lu Miao was puzzled: "Who posted this message again?"

"No one has posted a picture of me. I see the living room over there is bright and spacious, so I thought it would be a good idea to hang a family portrait on the wall."

Lu Yuanzheng's voice rarely had a hint of smile in it, and he continued:

"Give the children a day off this Saturday. Instead of going to the Children's Palace, let's get together and go to the photo studio to take some pictures."

"That's a good arrangement."

Before Lu Miao could say anything, Fu Jingyou expressed his opinion first.

Fu Jingyou added:

"I'll have the photos printed in a larger size and put them in a better frame."

"That's what it means!"

Lu Miao and Tang Mei had no objections, so they didn't interrupt.

The two men, who usually don't talk much, were chatting animatedly at this moment.

When it comes to taking family photos, once we get home, the family starts preparing to varying degrees.

On Saturday, Fu Jingyou drove his family of eight to the photo studio in two trips.

During this time, when I walked out of the house and passed through the alley, the neighbors in the alley stretched their necks to look at me secretly.

The neighbors were all thinking: This family is wearing both Zhongshan suits and skirts and cheongsams.

What is the purpose of such a grand ceremony?
When they were taking the family portrait and were about to go home, Lu Miao suddenly remembered something.

I didn’t bring Minmin with me this time!
But after thinking about it, Lu Miao felt relieved.

Minmin had just arrived in Jingbei and hadn’t stayed with Lu Yuanzheng and Tang Mei for long.

In terms of feelings, it is definitely not as deep as the one between the elders and Shi An.

If you must say it, in the minds of the two elders, Minmin is probably still an outsider.

It's a bit inappropriate to pull Minmin over here...

Lu Miao asked Fu Jingyou to send Lu Yuanzheng and Tang Mei back first, and when Fu Jingyou came back, he asked him to pick up Minmin alone.

It seemed a bit awkward to take a family photo with Minmin, Lu Yuanzheng and Tang Mei.

But I can bring Minmin with them to take a family photo.

Lu Miao made such arrangements. When Minmin came over, she sat on the chair with Bai Chuan and Fu Jingyou in her arms.

Mingxia and Minmin stood obediently on both sides, one on the left and one on the right.

Shi An and Ming Yi stood between their parents' shoulders behind the chairs.

"Hey, good! Smile~"

As the photographer said this, a white light flashed.

A picture of a 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 younger brother Geng Junhao got married last year, she, as the older sister, would also get married in August this year.

This letter can be regarded as an advance greeting.

Make an appointment with Lu Miao and invite them to come over and play. It would be best if they can bring the children along.

Lu Miao held the letter and handed it to Fu Jingyou:
"Will you go with me then?"

The handwriting on the letter emphasizing that "you must be there" takes up a large amount of space.

Anyone who sees it would be embarrassed to refuse.

Fu Jingyou finished reading and nodded softly:

"Free up some time then."

"Hmm~"

Now I have started a small business and 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 smiled and nodded, went into the room, put a book on the small table, took out a piece of letter paper and wrote a reply to Geng Xiaoyun.

She was writing a letter when Fu Jingyou followed her into the room, closed the door, sat down beside her and said:
"Miaomiao."

"Ok?"

Lu Miao tilted his head to look at him, and continued to summarize the wording of his reply:
"What's the matter? Why are you hesitating to speak?"

"No."

Fu Jingyou shook his head slightly and thought for a while before saying:

"I have almost finished dealing with things in the north of Beijing. There is nothing else to do right now, so I plan to go back to the south."

Lu Miao paused for a moment, frowned, and looked at him in confusion:
"It's only been a short time since you came back for the Chinese New Year. Why are you suddenly thinking about going back?"

"I've been resting for a while, and it's almost time for me to think about work."

Fu Jingyou's deep eyes were gentle, he brushed the hair on the side of her face and said:

"Beijing is far from my hometown. Now that I've started working, I probably won't be able to go back for the New Year holiday. I thought it would be a good time to go back."

It is almost the Grain in Ear season in June, and there will be more work to do in the village.

He went back and picked up some trash, which was a good opportunity for him to help the old couple.

When I come back to Beijing, I will have to devote myself to work.

Lu Miao nodded.

After thinking for a while, she put down her pen, turned around, and held Fu Jingyou's left thumb and little finger in her hands to play with them:
"I'll go back with you and take Baichuan with me."
