Chapter 1274 Come Again Tomorrow
If he's going back to northern Beijing, he'll definitely be taking his wife with him.

But his father-in-law only asked him.

Fu Jingyou keenly sensed that his father-in-law's question was definitely not just a casual remark.

Sure enough, Lu Yuanzheng's brows furrowed even deeper:
"It's something."

After a brief pause, Lu Yuanzheng looked at Fu Jingyou and then brought up another matter that had brought him here:

Do you remember Jiang Fan?

Fu Jingyou thought for a while and then shook his head honestly.

Lu Yuanzheng said:

“He used to be the director of the Tianjin Water Affairs Bureau. You submitted a letter of self-recommendation to their bureau when you graduated.”

Now that you mention it, Fu Jingyou vaguely remembers it.

But when his father-in-law suddenly mentioned this person, Fu Jingyou was still completely clueless:
"What's up with him?"

Lu Yuanzheng said:

"He was recently promoted and took on a new task: to renovate the port's floodgate. He said the project's transmission device was missing a special type of steel wire rope, and he couldn't get it done no matter who he asked."

Fu Jingyou said:

"So he found his way here?"

Lu Yuanzheng nodded:
“He found out that you owned a factory and that you could make some difficult and complicated medical devices and components that others couldn’t make, so he came to you and wanted you to give it a try.”

Lu Yuanzheng glanced at Fu Jingyou and continued:
"They've come to our house three times already."

Lu Yuanzheng's words were not intended to put pressure on his son-in-law.

Although Fu Jingyou has collaborated with many research institutes, none of them are in the research and development stage.

To date, no research institute has officially released the completed product to the public.

His technical skills and the value of his factory were therefore only recognized within a small circle.

But this time it's different.

The Tianjin floodgate might be an opportunity for him.

Once his product is actually used in this moisture barrier, his technology and factory will become the industry's public benchmark.

In the future, even people outside the industry may become familiar with him.

Lu Yuanzheng came to deliver the message personally because he had this in mind.

Fu Jingyou naturally understood his father-in-law's unspoken meaning.

But as his memories returned, he remembered many things.

It wasn't just Jiang Fan who rejected his self-recommendation letter.

Furthermore, there's the fact that Jiang Fan and his father-in-law were already at odds.

Jiang Fan's repeated rejections of his self-recommendation letters were most likely motivated by personal vendettas.

It's because he doesn't get along with his father-in-law.

To be honest, Fu Jingyou felt that this kind of person had some character issues.

Therefore, even if the opportunity were presented to him, he wouldn't really pay attention to it.

Most importantly, he didn't have time to deal with it right now.

As mentioned earlier, they won't be able to go back until the end of the year at the earliest.

The most important thing right now is to help my wife recover; everything else has to wait.

Fu Jingyou said exactly what he thought:

"Let's leave it to fate; I don't have the time right now."

Lu Yuanzheng nodded slightly, understanding his attitude from what he said.

The son-in-law has good judgment.

Once the drawbacks are laid out, he will consider them carefully.

Lu Yuanzheng lowered his head and drank his tea, saying nothing more.

Just then, Lu Miao came in carrying bundles of straw mats:

"Brother You, this is what Auntie brought over. She said that since the sun is strong this afternoon, if we wash it now and hang it to dry, it will be ready to use tonight."

Fu Jingyou got up to answer it.

Lu Yuanzheng glanced at Lu Miao, put down his teacup, and stood up from the table:
"You don't need to worry, they have already arranged accommodations in the county."

As he spoke, Lu Yuanzheng waved towards the door:
"Comrade Xiao Hu."

"Hey!"

Hu Zhiyuan immediately ran over. Lu Miao was taken aback for a moment, and Fu Jingyou said:

“Dad, there’s room at home, why don’t you stay here? You and Miaomiao haven’t seen each other for a long time, it’s a good time to sit down and have a good talk.”

Lu Yuanzheng slightly raised his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more.

He looked at Lu Miao and said:

"The things in the box were all prepared by your aunt. You can share them with your brother, sister-in-law, and other elders."

Then he walked towards the door first:

"I'll come back tomorrow."

Seeing this, Hu Zhiyuan quickly followed behind.

Fu Jingyou took a step forward, wanting to stop him, but Lu Miao snapped out of her daze and pulled him back, saying:

"Never mind, Brother You, let him go."

She knew her father's personality all too well.

Even if I actually stayed here, I would feel uncomfortable.

Let's just listen to him and come back tomorrow.

There are cars over there; it's just a short trip.

Fu Jingyou seemed to realize this as well, and nodded slightly as he leaned the mat against the wall.

After the elders finished exchanging pleasantries outside the door, Fu Jingyou, He Hongjin, Chen Guifen, and a few others personally escorted Lu Yuanzheng to the Xidaguchang area to get into the car.

There was a little incident in between.

Lu Miao missed her child terribly after not seeing him for so long.

However, Lu Miao was still weak and could not carry Bai Chuan, who had become heavier.

But intimate gestures like hugging and kissing are definitely indispensable.

While Lu Miao was sitting on a chair, affectionately holding Bai Chuan, and asking about the situation of his older brothers and sisters Shi An and Ming Yi, the little bald boy, with his hands behind his back, leaned against the door and watched them intently.

It took Lu Miao a while to notice his keen senses.

Minru is usually very lively, but now he just stares around with his big eyes wide open, looking rather pitiful for some reason.

Lu Miao adjusted his posture and waved to Minrui.

As Minrui approached, she showered him with affection, smiling as she pulled him into her arms as well.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy because you saw your aunt holding your little brother?"

She smiled shyly, glanced at Bai Chuan, and quickly shook her head.

Lu Miao pinched his little dark cheek and asked with a smile:
"What happened? Look at that little face, it's all scrunched up like a bitter gourd."

After a moment of silence, he finally hesitated and said:

"Auntie, my mother is sick. She's lying in bed and very ill, just like you were before, like she was about to die... Auntie got better after eating the soup that my second aunt made. I want to beg you, could you please ask my second aunt to make some soup for my mother too?"

Being perceptive is contradictory.

He actually disliked that mother very much.

But his mother-in-law told him that the woman was about to die.

His mother-in-law told him not to go out so often lately, but to spend more time with his mother.

But he was afraid that his mother would jump up and pull him again, so he never dared to actually get close.

But he also had a very strange thought in his mind...

That is, it seems he doesn't want that mother to die.

If you're perceptive, it might sound strange on its own.

But Lu Miao understood what he meant.

Rather than the soup made with osmanthus flowers, what he needed was more the stewed snow frog and bird's nest.

Children are innocent and naive; their feelings are always the most sincere and pure.

Lu Miao touched his sharp head.

We did not disappoint his filial piety, nor did we treat his request for help perfunctorily.

She said softly:

"Have your second aunt pack some for you to take over tonight, and your mother-in-law will stew it for you."

He nodded sharply, and a smile immediately spread across his dark face:
"Thank you, Auntie! Hehe~"

Lu Miao laughed, patted him and Bai Chuan, and pushed the two boys out together:
"Go play, don't fight."

"Ok!"
