Chapter 727: Desks Removed

"This kid is really particular. He never comes back empty-handed."

After seeing Liu Wenpei off, Tang Meile closed the gate and walked into the house muttering happily.

Lu Miao had just finished refilling the children's bowls and turned to ask her:
"Uncle Ling's family already knows the news, but we don't know anything?"

"We are far away now. We are not as well-informed as before when we lived in the alleys. Your father should be in contact with your Uncle Xie. You can ask him when he comes back later."

"Um……"

Lu Miao nodded slightly.

My knees suddenly felt heavy, and the fat girl who had just felt unwell today came over with a small bowl in her hand:

"Mom, it's delicious. I want more next time!"

"Okay, more."

Lu Miao smiled, and touched her dark-haired little head with eyes as gentle as water.

It was evening, the sun had rested for most of its face, and there was a rare breeze outside.

Tang Mei cleaned the small pot and started to prepare dinner for the adults.

Taking advantage of their free time, Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou took the children to a nearby park to digest their food.

A few little mouths chirped like sparrows, "brothers and sisters" all the way.

Familiar neighbors and strangers turned to look at him, and all sighed in their hearts:
"What a lively family."

The children were playing on the seesaw and swinging in the park, while Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou were sitting on a bench in the afterglow of the sunset.

"Let's talk to Mei Zi tomorrow and give her an extra ten dollars a month so that she can come to our house and help with some chores when she's free, so that Auntie can focus on taking care of the children. What do you think?"

"It's all right. Just make up your mind."

"Okay... we don't need that little money anyway."

Lu Miao kept on talking, holding one of his hands and pinching it:
"By then, reserve some extra food money so that Mei Zi can go there whenever she's free and catch some fresh shrimp, clams, beef, etc. Just buy whatever you come across."

"Balanced nutrition, building a good foundation from childhood, will help you have a strong body."

Fu Jingyou nodded gently: "Okay."

He has no objection.

We were poor in the past, so I thought it was okay to eat anything as long as I could fill my stomach.

Now that I have the conditions, I am no longer so concerned about saving a little.

Children should not only eat enough, but also eat well.

Lu Miao was thinking about this, so he went to look for Mei Zi when he returned from his walk.

After settling the matter, she went home and met Lu Yuanzheng who had returned. She took the opportunity to ask about the Xie family.

Lu Yuanzheng said "hmm" and explained:
"I did call, but I was so busy that I forgot what I was doing and didn't tell you... You two should go about your business first, and I'll go over to their house to get engaged."

After saying this, he continued:

"You are friends with their future daughter-in-law. It won't be too late for you to go on their wedding day."

When I have nothing to do, I definitely have to go and have some fun.

Now that the young couple have serious things to do, Lu Yuanzheng lets them focus on himself first.

Lu Miao nodded after careful consideration and asked:
"When are they going to get engaged and when are they going to get married? Have they said everything?"

"The engagement is on the 28th of this month, and the wedding is said to be on October 1st, during the National Day."

Lu Miao said “Oh” and said nothing more.

Xie Fei and Gu Ying were engaged, and Lu Miao followed the arrangements of his elders and did not ask for leave to go there.

But she and Gu Ying are friends after all, and have known each other for many years. She can't wait to visit, so she must pass on the friendship.

Gifts are required for marriage, but it would be a bit abrupt to give a red envelope as a gift just for engagement.

After thinking about it, Lu Miao took out some cloth left in the kang cabinet.

Looking back at Gu Ying's stature, I thought about giving her a set of clothes as a gift.

At first glance, their figures are pretty much the same, so it's not difficult to just adjust some details.

Lu Miao started working on it that night, but he was only busy with making a layout drawing.

The lighting was not good when the lights were on at night, and Fu Jingyou always disturbed her while holding the child and prevented her from doing more.

She glared at him a few times and then just followed his wishes.

There was still a week left before Xie Fei and Gu Ying got engaged, so there was no need to rush. After that, I could do it every day after returning from the Guoying Society.

The most difficult and troublesome part of making clothes is pattern making and cutting.

Lu Miao has completed half of the big task, and as for the rest, she is proficient at operating the sewing machine.

It's no trouble at all.

But coming back to the subject, let’s talk about the British Social News Agency.

The next day, when Lu Miao stepped into the lobby of the British Society with a canvas bag on his shoulder, inquiring eyes immediately gathered from all directions.

She sensed something was wrong and turned her eyes to look over.

The people around her turned aside to avoid making eye contact with her.

Not right.

Lu Miao was sensitive enough to sense that something was wrong, but he didn't want to pursue the matter, so he calmed down, held the strap of the canvas bag on his shoulder and went upstairs.

But when I got to Translation Group 6, I was stunned again.

She arrived early and there was no one in the group 6 workshop yet.

But originally there were six desks, but now there are only five left.

Looking around, everyone's table was still there, except hers.

"..."

Lu Miao was bewildered and a little confused.

Standing blankly at the door of the workshop, she turned her head and looked back and forth, wondering whether she should step in now.

Just when I was feeling helpless, someone suddenly pushed me on the back with both hands.

She staggered forward and just managed to stop herself when Chen Mei came over and excitedly grabbed her hand:

"Xiao Lu, you are really good at this!"

"Ok?"

"You don't know yet!"

Seeing her confused look, she stood at the door for a long time without moving forward or backward.

Chen Mei understood something, winked at her, pulled her aside and whispered with a smile:

"Team Leader Chen... No, you can't call him Team Leader Chen anymore. It's Comrade Chen Qinghai. He has been removed from his post and transferred to another team!"

"…dismissal and transfer?"

Lu Miao was stunned for a moment. She really didn't know about this.

Chen Mei nodded repeatedly and continued:

"The one who took over now is the former deputy team leader Wang Liming!"

Lu Miao nodded thoughtfully.

Chen Qinghai's character was quite problematic, and she had determined early on that he would not go far in his career.

Now that Chen Qinghai has fallen, Lu Miao was not surprised at all except for being stunned when he first heard the news.

The former deputy director, Wang Liming, was a pretty good person, so Lu Miao had no objection to him taking over.

That's right...

Lu Miao pulled Chen Mei and asked seriously:

"Sister Chen, where is my table?"

The table was gone when she arrived today.

What is going on now?
Was it because she left early yesterday and something went wrong, so she was punished and not allowed to work anymore, or what?
She was really confused.

"Your table?"

Chen Mei looked at her in surprise, and immediately laughed out loud:
"Your table? Now I'm afraid you'll have to go to the third floor to find it!"

"..."

This incoherent sentence made Lu Miao even more confused.

As for the matter of receiving foreign staff, even if we don't take into account her early departure, just the translation work for those few days was not enough to warrant a reward medal or anything like that.

After all, which of the seniors didn’t work harder than her?
