Chapter 1238: The twelfth month
I won't even mention chickens and ducks.

Feeding such a large sheep from a lamb to adulthood is truly no easy task.

The gifts were too valuable for Tang Mei to accept.

Originally, they said they would keep some chicken and duck eggs to try, and that Lingyuan should take the rest back.

But Lingyuan's words were even more comprehensive.

The previous sentence said that Lu Miao had just returned from the hospital, and the food was given to Lu Miao to help him recover.

The next sentence says that the New Year is coming soon, and the weather is cold so things won't spoil and can be eaten slowly.

Finally, she added that in the past, Lu Miao would bring things back for the children when she went on business trips, so this time it was Sui Sui's way of showing respect to her godmother.

After a series of persuasive arguments, Tang Mei felt too embarrassed to refuse again.

However, it's unreasonable to only take in and not give out.

Thinking that Lin Xian is pregnant now, it is precisely the time when she needs nutrition.

Tang Mei finally gave Ling Yuan some of the bird's nest and shark fin from her home before she was satisfied.

When Fu Jingyou returned later and heard about it, he didn't have much of an objection.

It's only natural for relatives and friends to give and receive gifts.

However, bird's nest and shark fin are relatively high-end nutritional products, and Lu Miao currently needs these things while recuperating at home.

Fearing that the family's food supply would be cut off and there wouldn't be enough for Lu Miao to eat, Fu Jingyou wired two thousand yuan to Guangzhou.

Ask Ma Tou to take some time to send over some high-quality bird's nest and shark fin.

Ma Tou is also awesome.

Besides bird's nest and shark fin, they also brought a lot of fish maw from their area, which they said was some kind of tonic.

Fish maw is dried fish bladder.

Fu Jingyou didn't really understand this, and he didn't dare to just give Lu Miao food based on rumors.

After the items were delivered, he first consulted the hospital to confirm that there was no problem and that they did indeed have certain nourishing effects. Only then did he ask Tang Mei to research how to prepare them for Lu Miao.

Of course, these are things to follow.

But let's get back to the present.

There has always been a large shed of nearly 60 square meters in the backyard of my house.

In the past, every autumn, Fu Jingyou would sow seven or eight kinds of vegetable seeds and carefully tend to them so that there would be something to eat at home when the weather got cold.

This year, however, we're not in time.

For the first half of the year, he stayed at the hospital to take care of Lu Miao, so he naturally neglected his family matters.

Tang Mei and Lu Yuanzheng are not experts in this area.

Although some vegetables are now grown in the greenhouse, there are only two or three kinds, and they are growing very poorly.

Fu Jingyou understands Lu Miao best.

With what we have at home, it's fine for a few meals, but if she stays for more than a few days, she probably won't want to touch the food.

Upon learning of this situation after returning from the hospital, Fu Jingyou immediately cleared space in the greenhouse and planted another batch of vegetable seeds.

The vegetable seeds I planted these past few days have only sprouted small buds the size of soybeans; it will be a long time before I can eat them.

Hearing from Tang Mei that Ling Yuan had visited their home, Fu Jingyou figured that with such a large farm, Ling Yuan must have fresh vegetables there.

The next day, Fu Jingyou drove to Lingyuan.

The result is true.

Lingyuan Farm not only has a wide variety of off-season vegetables, but also a variety of fruits.

Fu Jingyou didn't stand on ceremony with Ling Yuan at all, and drove straight home with a whole trunk full of stuff.

Around this time, things and letters also arrived from my hometown.

There were no other rare or unusual items in the village, and the things sent over were the same few things as before.

It was a letter, though. My uncle and aunt wrote several pages of it, as if they were talking to themselves and answering their own questions.

They were all asking if Lu Miao was alright, how things were going, and whether they were going to go back for the New Year.

They also said it wouldn't matter if we didn't go back; they would come to visit us again before the spring of the following year.

His words were filled with concern and worry.

Although Lu Miao has been discharged from the hospital, she is still weak and cannot withstand any more strain.

Fu Jingyou prioritized her and had long since given up the idea of ​​going back home for the New Year.

After reading the letter, Fu Jingyou immediately took out a pen and letter paper.

After writing down his recent situation to reassure his parents, he originally intended to send some money back home as he always had, but Lu Miao saw this and stopped him immediately.

“They’re saving the money they send back to them and are reluctant to spend it. Take some time these next few days to buy them some food, drink and other necessities and send them back with you.”

It's a relationship based on mutual care and concern. If all you see is money and not people, it can be quite hurtful.

Fu Jingyou nodded in agreement.

In the following days, Fu Jingyou focused on this matter.

In addition to cotton cloth, milk powder, malted milk powder, and cod liver oil, pharmacies have recently started stocking something called calcium gluconate.

Fu Jingyou heard that it is a calcium supplement that is very suitable for children, pregnant women and the elderly.

The price is not high, so it is in high demand in pharmacies and is not easy for ordinary people to get their hands on.

Fu Jingyou had been waiting around for several days and finally managed to buy two bottles before realizing he already had this stuff at home.

It's called calcium gluconate, but it's actually just calcium gluconate tablets.

When they were discharged from the hospital, the hospital gave them a lot of money.

The instruction was for Lu Miao to take various small sugar pills, including vitamins, whenever he remembered.

This stuff is hard to get in pharmacies, but you can buy it with a prescription at hospitals.

Fu Jingyou managed to find a loophole, took Lu Miao's medical record folder, opened some more, and sent several boxes back to his hometown and Lingyuan.

Besides sending letters and things back to his hometown, Fu Jingyou is also quite busy at his factory.

Previously, while he was at the hospital, the factory was always managed by Dandan.

Egg can handle most of the work, but there are still some areas where he's clueless.

Fu Jingyou could only take some time to go over and sort through the items one by one.

Furthermore, the factory's development prospects have now taken shape, namely through cooperation with some state-owned research institutes.

The old-fashioned equipment and production lines that were acquired along with the hardware factory in the earliest days are now under very low utilization and are basically useless.

After a brief consideration, Fu Jingyou decided not to keep it any longer.

While he was dealing with the various issues that had accumulated in the previous factory, he was also contacting people about this matter.

Some of the old equipment was so badly damaged that Fu Jingyou simply disposed of it as scrap.

The other part was sold piecemeal to people in need, earning back 1,500 yuan.

He added some things inside, renovated the old factory building, and then contacted someone to set up a new small production line, preparing to start expanding his business after the New Year.

Lu Miao was still ill and was extremely weak. Fu Jingyou couldn't concentrate on his work and would want to go back to check on her every time he went out for an hour or two.

It's late December, almost Chinese New Year, and Minmin has come back to stay at the house for the holidays.

Tang Mei usually manages the household chores and takes care of the children downstairs, while Minmin helps look after Lu Miao on the second floor.

Lu Miao is able to take care of himself, and under normal circumstances, Minmin doesn't need to do anything for him.

But with someone always watching over her, everyone else can focus on their work without worry.

This is most clearly demonstrated in Fu Jingyou.

But just a few days before the Lunar New Year, during a break when Fu Jingyou was busy with work and not at home, another incident occurred.
