Chapter 1127: Biting off more than one can chew

Bai Chengwen took a lot of effort to come here, and he must be very tired.

The most urgent task is to quickly cook something decent to eat for people.

Afterwards, we ate and talked. It was their first day here, so they should rest early...

There is no need to prepare an elaborate meal when entertaining people from your hometown.

Having a big bowl of rice and eating big mouthfuls of meat is the most heartfelt hospitality.

Lu Miao prepared the ingredients, put the square pieces of meat cut by Wang Xiu into a basin and put it under the tap. While washing them, he chatted with Wang Xiu:

"You bought fish today. Did you see fish intestines or anything on the stall?"

Wang Xiu said: "No, they all bought fish and brought them back to kill them. I didn't see any fish intestines there."

Lu Miao understood and said "Oh", and continued to instruct:

"Then take a look next time when you go shopping for groceries. If there are dead fish on sale at a discount, you can pick out the big ones and buy two."

Lu Miao is particular. He used to say that if chickens, ducks, fish, shrimps, etc. can be bought alive, they should not be bought dead.

Now she said this again, Wang Xiu shook his head and asked:
"Are you buying it to eat? Or do you want to use it for something else?"

Lu Miao said with a smile: "You should buy fresh ones for eating, and buy the dead ones for composting. This season, bury one under the flower and fruit trees in the yard, so that they will bloom and bear fruit next year."

Wang Xiu knew that flowers, plants, trees and crops in the fields needed fertilizers and nutrients.

But this was the first time Wang Xiu had heard of using fish as fertilizer.

Wang Xiu was suspicious, but her thoughts were not important.

In short, she would do whatever the mistress of the house said.

Wang Xiu smiled and nodded:

"Okay, I'll go check it out tomorrow afternoon. Sometimes things are cheaper in the afternoon."

"Hmm~"

……

In the evening, Lu Miao invited Chen Xiangdong to have dinner at his home.

Originally, it was planned to let Chen Xiangdong and Fu Jingyou come and have a drink with Bai Chengwen.

Unexpectedly, Bai Chengwen was afraid that someone on the train would touch his things, so he kept staring at them all the way.

After arriving in northern Beijing and walking such a long way, I was exhausted both mentally and physically.

Bai Chengwen was a cheerful person in the countryside, but in front of the warm hospitality of the Fu family, he was too embarrassed to say more about being tired.

He tried to hold on, but when he sat down at the table, he still felt a little weak.

His pupils were dilated, his thoughts were wandering, and he began to doze off while holding the chopsticks.

Lu Miao was afraid that the person would go into shock if he continued, so he quickly finished the meal.

She was a thoughtful person. She thought Bai Chengwen wouldn't know how to use the bathroom to shower, so she found two sets of Fu Jingyou's clothes and asked Fu Jingyou to take him there.

During this period, Chen Xiangdong looked at the situation on the scene and stood up to resign.

Just before leaving, he called out "sister-in-law" and said a few words to Lu Miao while standing on the corridor:
"Sister-in-law, foreign exchange business is the fastest way to make money. Now that the garment factory can do this in the export field, can we also do it ourselves?"

Although they now have factories and stores, to be honest, the bulk of the income still depends on Cheng Yingjie.

As for the garment factory?
Before and after the Canton Fair, Chen Xiangdong read a lot of reports.

In addition to this meeting with Wang Yuehua, Wang Yuehua did not conceal her gratitude to Lu Miao between the lines.

This also made Chen Xiangdong more intuitively understand how much effort Lu Miao had put in and what role he played. Chen Xiangdong felt that it didn't make sense that a factory that was about to close down could be revived, but they couldn't do it themselves.

He came here for this matter.

When Lu Miao heard him say this, he understood what he meant:
"You can't chew too much if you bite off more than you can chew. What you can hold firmly in your hand is more important than anything else."

Especially at this time, there are at least 8,000 ways to make money, if not 10,000. How can you control everything in your own hands?
Chen Xiangdong was slightly stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this was indeed the truth.

But before he could open his mouth to speak, Lu Miao pointed at his name and continued:
"I know you are ambitious, but you have to consider the overall situation. Don't just focus on making money when you are young and ignore your health. There are many things that money can't buy in the future."

Chen Xiangdong was stunned again.

Understanding what Lu Miao said, he rubbed the back of his head with an attitude of accepting advice and said:

"I understand, sister-in-law. I will arrange my time properly when I get back."

Lu Miao nodded and continued to walk him to the door:
"I'll call you when I'm free tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Come over and accompany the guests with your brother Fu then."

"it is good."

After seeing Chen Xiangdong off, Lu Miao was told when he returned to the inner courtyard that Bai Chengwen had been arranged to rest.

The things he brought were carried to the living room by Fu Jingyou, and Tang Mei was counting them one by one.

There were dozens of small cans of honey, and Tang Mei placed them all over the coffee table. She also asked Fu Jingyou to move the backpack and shoulder pole to the table.

Continue placing it on the table.

In addition to honey, Bai Chengwen also brought something for the He family.

That single backpack is it.

Tang Mei said: "It's quite a lot to just carry this honey, and you also helped bring so many things. It's really not easy for me to come here. You two should take some more time these two days to accompany me and show me around and treat me well."

"Ah."

Fu Jingyou nodded.

Lu Miao sat aside and read the letter that Bai Chengwen brought to him.

The letter was written by He Hongjin, which roughly stated what was brought and how it came.

Then they asked about how they were doing with their children, and why they hadn't written home during this period.

After reading the content, Lu Miao put the letter back into the envelope. Just then, Tang Mei took out some knitted clothes from the basket on her back. She couldn't help but mutter:
"How could Dabao and Erbao be in need of clothes? The money I sent back has been sent back to me in a different way."

Lu Yuanzheng was drinking tea nearby and said:
"You can't say that. They don't see you a few times a year, but they still miss you. This is a token of their love."

In previous years, the children were still young and were more likely to get sick from tossing around in the cold weather.

It’s different now. Baichuan is a little older and stronger, so it’s not a big deal if I take good care of him.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuanzheng looked at Fu Jingyou and said:

"This year, you two should arrange your work in advance, take the children back early, stay a few more days and come back."

Fu Jingyou nodded, and Lu Miao had no objection.

After helping Tang Mei to put away the honey, pickled meat, sweet potato flour and lotus root flour, Lu Miao went upstairs with Fu Jingyou to rest.

There are only a few places in northern Beijing, and outsiders can only see a few of them.

The club is not busy these days, but Lu Miao has arranged courses at school.

Lying in bed at night, Lu Miao discussed with Fu Jingyou and asked him to take some free time the next day to take Bai Chengwen to visit Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City.

Fu Jingyou said in a low voice:

"These two places are right outside our house. We can go there anytime we want. There's no rush... You're going to school tomorrow, I'll take you there and show him what the schools in the city are like. After a stroll there, I'll take him to my factory. Then he can explain to his uncle and aunt when he goes back, so they don't have to worry about us all the time."
