Chapter 24: Busy raising a family in a foreign land 24
Wei Miao had a sumptuous lunch on the fishing boat. While eating, he briefly recounted his experience on the bridge today.
Many fish ate the sweet and sour fish they had been craving for, and they were so happy that their eyes narrowed.
After Wei Miao finished his meal, he got off the boat carrying two salted fish.
She was accompanied by Sister Xu Lan, the eldest daughter of Uncle Xu's family.
"Wow, wow, wow~ I want to go to my aunt's house too!" Sister Gui's face was full of tears.
While eating, Wei Miao heard her uncle and others mention Sister Lan’s marriage. She looked at Sister Lan, who looked like a bean sprout, and felt a little cold in her heart.
A little girl who is only fourteen years old will get married in two years, live on a new boat, and then continue to have children. The children will get married and continue to have children.
Will our descendants be trapped to death in this stinking river, confined to a small boat for their entire lives?
Wei Miao looked at the girl who was lowering her head with a red face, with confusion and fear in her eyes, without any longing.
She suddenly thought of Hu Na in the coffee shop. She was also a fisherman's daughter and also came from Suzhou River.
Wei Miao suddenly had an idea in his mind, so he suggested that Sister Lan go home to help Xu Ayu. Uncle and aunt Xu readily agreed.
After everyone had gone far away, many fish came out of the boat, with their cheeks bulging and their eyes rolling around.
"what are you eating?"
Many fish looked at the aggressive second sister and rolled their eyes: "Toffees."
Seeing Sister Xu Gui running into the cabin, many fish turned their heads, jumped off the boat and ran a long way.
"Dad, I'm going to see my elder sister and A Miao off. If I don't come back at night, they will definitely stay overnight at my aunt's house."
Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu looked at their little daughter's monkey-like back, and could not utter a single sound.
After going down to the cabin and failing to find any candy, Xu Guijie cried in despair.
The people on the nearby fishing boats watched the excitement and said enviously:
"Ah Da Xu, your nephew is here to give you food and drinks, and he's also taking your two daughters to enjoy a good life. It's a good deal for you."
They all knew that Xu Ada's sister married into a good family, lived in an alley, had a spacious house, and her husband drove a rickshaw, earning more than ten silver dollars a month.
These people eat, drink, defecate and urinate on the boat, and they have to buy coal for cooking.
Every day they open their eyes they have to spend money, but they have to rely on the weather for their livelihood. If it rains, it rains heavily outside and drizzles inside the boat, none of them will be in good health.
When Wei Miao returned home with the two Lan sisters and many fish, Xu Ayu was washing clothes in the yard.
Sister Xu Lan called out "Auntie" and immediately went forward to help.
Many fish called her "little aunt" affectionately, and then asked:
"Can I go see my uncle?"
Among the three children from her mother's family, Xu Ayu likes the third child the most because he looks somewhat like her.
She shook off the water stains on her hands and said:
"Your uncle just took his medicine and went to sleep. You can go see him when he wakes up."
Many fish exclaimed "Oh" and saw Wei Li sitting under the eaves pasting paper boxes, and went to help.
The mother and daughter went to the kitchen to put the salted fish in. Many fish stared at their opinionated daughter and said, "Go ahead."
Wei Miao chuckled, "I see that my mother is having a hard time, so I asked my cousins to come and help."
Xu Ayu reached out to twist her ear, Wei Miao pretended to be scared and said frankly:
"Yesterday I saw a job posting at the entrance of Sister Hu Na's coffee shop. I want to teach Sister Lan some basic foreign language. Once she learns, she can apply for a job as a waitress. Then she can have a job. Then my uncle and his family will have an easier life, and my mother won't have to sigh all the time."
After hearing this, Xu Ayu also thought this was a good idea, and then said worriedly:
"It's that foreign language. Wei Ran and Ling Mei can't learn it. Can Sister Lan do it?"
When Wei Miao heard her mention the two troublemakers at home, he felt a dull pain in his forehead. They usually looked smart and clever, but when it came to studying, they were both extremely stupid.
She could remember it after just one look, but they couldn't learn it in three days.
This made Wei Miao somewhat doubt the reliability of his idea of changing the fate of several people through education.
"Mom, don't tell Cousin Lan yet. Wait until I see what her talent is."
Xu Ayu also agreed very much.
"It's good that they're here, so I can free up my hands to do other things. Ah Miao, what do you think about my mom making some dried tofu at home and setting up a stall at the entrance of the alley?"
Wei Miao didn't quite agree in his heart, but looking at Xu Ayu's expectant eyes, he changed his words.
"Mom, don't even think about it until Dad gets better. Besides, you still have to cook for Brother Wu and clean the house."
Seeing Xu Ayu's eyes dim, Wei Miao hugged her waist and said coquettishly:
"Mom, you should also take good care of yourself. Don't wait until Dad gets better before you lie down again."
Xu Ayu's heart softened.
Wei Ling and others always say that she is partial to A Miao, but how can one not feel sorry for such a sensible child?
She raised her hand and stroked the stubble of Wei Miao's hair, and felt that she was a little impatient and had not considered things as carefully as a child, so she felt a little embarrassed.
Wei Miao asked her, "Mom, is Brother Wu out today?"
Xu Ayu said: "I went back after breakfast in the morning, and came back with Miss Xu at noon."
"Is Miss Xu still here?" Wei Miao didn't want to be a light bulb.
Xu Ayu smiled brightly, "When I saw them coming back, I hurried to buy food and cook. Miss Xu praised my cooking skills. She left after dinner and said she would bring me a gift next time."
Xu Ayu likes it most when people praise her cooking skills.
Her family lived relatively well when she was a child, but unfortunately her father was uneducated and had not learned any craft from her grandfather. He also smoked so much opium that he burned up the house.
She was lucky enough to marry Wei Ada, and her brother directly found a fisherman's daughter on Suzhou River to marry into her family.
Although they were said to be marrying into the wife's family, in fact, the three children all took their brother's surname. Except for the hard life, everything was going well for them.
Wu Ziyang yawned as he opened the door. Seeing the little kid at the door, he asked:
"Ah Miao, you better be okay, otherwise you can accompany me, Hu Die!"
Wei Miao tilted his head to look at the sleepy Wu Ziyang and said:
"Brother Wu, you are confused because of your sleep. There are no butterflies in autumn."
Wu Ziyang looked at her clear and penetrating eyes and laughed at himself, thinking that the little brat didn't understand anything.
Wei Miao entered the room and found it much cleaner and tidier.
Wu Ziyang leaned against the door and waited for her to finish looking at him before saying:
"It's all thanks to Nongmu's mother."
Wei Miao smiled with two sweet dimples and also joked:
"It's also thanks to Miss Xu's money."
When Wu Ziyang heard her mention Xu Manhua, he just shrugged and asked:
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Wei Miao sat on the sofa, tilting his head to look at Wu Ziyang leaning lazily against the door. His excellent looks made him very charming even though he was unkempt.
"Brother Wu, my father was saved by taking a drug called sulfa."
After listening to this, Wu Ziyang's cynical expression faded a little, and he walked over with his arm hanging and sat down opposite Wei Miao.
"What do you want to say?"
