Chapter 735 Lu Xiaobao, Super Awesome

Fu Jingyou took the money and bought half a pound of fried peanuts and two bottles of Lao Baigan.

In the evening, I sat down and chatted with a few senior colleagues from the same workshop for two hours before going back.

It's going to be busy for a while.

Children start school early and are sent to school in early September.

Especially Shi An.

There are many requirements for schools in the city, and good schools are even more particular.

I won’t go into details about the various written procedures for Beijing University Affiliated Primary School.

Before the school officially starts, everyone has to go for a unified basic physical examination, measure the size of the school uniform and red scarf, etc.

Fu Jingyou was busy for a few days and basically finished taking care of the children's affairs. Several universities in northern Beijing were about to start classes one after another.

At the British News Agency, Lu Miao's help this time has come to an end.

I said hello to Teacher Tan and asked for two days off in advance to prepare for the start of school.

……

The canvas pocket that was used as a book bag had been used for too long and the corners had been worn out and small holes had appeared.

Lu Miao chose a casual style linen material and remade one.

One side of the strap of the plain handbag is decorated with a square piece of light silk fabric and tied with a unique flower.

When necessary, you can take it off and use it as a handkerchief.

After finishing all this, Lu Miao lifted up the handbag and looked around.

Either minimalist or extravagant.

That's pretty good.

She nodded slightly in satisfaction and put the large piece of fabric away.

There were still two pieces of leftover cloth strips on the sewing machine table, about fifteen to eighteen centimeters long and about two fingers wide.

There's nothing I can do with it, and it would be a shame to lose it or use it as a rope.

Lu Miao went back to the room and took out several rolls of lace of varying widths.

She gestured with the lace edges and strips of cloth, wondering what she could do.

Tang Mei finished her work outside and came in with a palm-leaf fan and sat beside her to fan herself:
"Oh my god, it's already been the beginning of autumn for a month, but it's not getting cooler yet?"

"It should be soon. Let's wait for the sun to rest before we continue working. It's already been tanned..."

"What kind of work is that? It's just some diapers for the children. I washed them in the sun and hung them up to dry."

Tang Mei looked at her with a smile and shook her head, then changed the subject:
"Xiao Xie is getting married soon, how do you give the gift?"

"Just follow it. Whatever the Ling family had before, their family will have the same amount."

Thinking that Tang Mei was afraid that the two families would become too close and that it would be embarrassing to have less companions, Lu Miao added:
"Fifty yuan is not too little. Many people can't earn that much money in a month. Brother You's internship salary is only twenty yuan."

Tang Mei waved her hand, "This gift is not small."

The two families are impartial, and Tang Mei actually thinks so too.

"Wen Pei came to ask about this at that time. She said she was worried that it would not look good if you gave too little, so she asked how much you gave so that she could think about it as a reference."

"Don't you know how much I gave?"

"Yes."

Tang Mei nodded and said:
"I told her it was also fifty yuan. I was afraid you might add a little more or deduct a little, and then it would make things awkward for her. So I just asked."

If I say that the gift amount is fifty yuan, but it exceeds fifty yuan in the end, wouldn't people misunderstand me and think that I am deliberately trying to put someone down?

From another perspective, if the price is less than fifty yuan, it will also be difficult to write.

What if people think it's a scam to trick them into spending more money?

Lu Miao paused and looked at Tang Mei, obviously he had also thought of these ideas.

"The amount of the gift depends on the individual's situation. True affection cannot be measured by money. There is no reference to this thing... If someone comes to you to ask about this in the future, just say you don't know. If they insist on asking, let them come and ask me in person."

It's easy to make mistakes in answering this question.

If you meet someone who is more shrewd and mention a slightly larger amount, people may start to suspect your family background. It depends on the individual and the situation between the two families. It's up to each individual. There is no reference for that.

Tang Mei said "hmm" and nodded.

Lu Miao knew that she didn't like others to interfere in her affairs.

It was only because Liu Wenpei was the new daughter-in-law that she made such a remark.

Think about it now.

The situation of the Ling family is different from theirs.

When it comes to giving gifts, the decision has to be made, and Liu Wenpei should go back and ask her parents-in-law.

Although the old couple of the Ling family are not here, they are not far away.

Tang Mei thought about it and nodded, and her determination not to meddle in other people's affairs became more and more firm.

Lu Miao hummed cleverly and suddenly had an idea.

Trim the raw edges of the fabric strips, and then cut a piece of lace of a similar color to align with the fabric strips.

Lu Miao buried her head in the sound of the sewing machine, and soon an exquisite and unique lace headband was completed.

Without giving it too much thought, some of the previously unusable waste materials now have a place to go, and they can even be turned into new models.

very nice!
Lu Miao curved her eyes with satisfaction, and continued to cut the lace edges to make the next headband.

Thinking of something, she tilted her head and asked:
"When did Liu Wenpei ask you about the gift? I don't think I've seen her around lately."

"How could she come over? It was just that Mei Zi helped look after the kids a couple of days ago in the afternoon. I ran into her when I went out to buy groceries and we chatted a little. She hasn't come over much recently."

"Oh……"

Lu Miao responded thoughtfully.

The thought flashed through his mind for a moment, but he soon let it go and continued to tinker with his own things.

I always feel something is weird, but I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong.

Maybe she was overthinking...

After all, didn’t Liu Wenpei find a job in the cafeteria of Renmin University?

Maybe they are just busy?

Shaking his head, Lu Miao didn't take the matter too seriously.

……

Let’s talk about what happens after college starts.

Lu Miao made a big splash at the start of school.

After the Chinese version of the famous American novel "War Winds" translated by her was printed and put on the shelves of the publishing house, the editor Xu Hongmei sent her the authentic example text book.

But the things were not sent to her home, but to Peking University in Beijing. The president gave them to the professional tutor, who then passed them on to her.

I didn't understand why we had to go through such a big detour.

It was not until Chen Rivet praised her on the campus radio that she realized that this was also a display of honor and ability.

It will be recorded in the personal performance and achievement book at school.

Xu Hongmei probably guessed that she didn't understand, so she sent it directly to her school, taking advantage of the situation and getting it done in one step.

The Chinese version of "War Winds" is divided into two thick volumes.

Classmates often asked Lu Miao to borrow their books to read.

Some people watch the content, some people watch the fun.

But no one thinks that the obvious vertical layout of the words "Translator: Lu Miao" on the book cover is not impressive.

These are not just three or five pages of draft paper, but two real books!
It’s not like I haven’t seen Lu Miao translating manuscripts during lunch breaks.

But she was so busy doing whatever she wanted before that no one took it seriously.

Now looking at the two physical books that have been typeset and printed, the impact is really too strong.

Everyone in the sophomore English class seemed to have just woken up, and they all started thinking, "How on earth did she do that?"
