I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China

Wei Miao took the roses and fruit basket and spent three cents to take a rickshaw home.

After getting off the bus, I saw three little kids at the intersection.

"Brother." Wei Ling spoke the loudest.

Wei Ran came over and helped her carry the things in her hands.

Many fish smelled the rich red rose and sneezed three times in a row.

"Ah Miao, what is this? Why does it stink so bad?"

Wei Miao quickly took the flower away from her and said, "Don't get close to this flower, you will get sick."

Many fish instinctively covered their noses and stayed away.

Wei Ling sniffed it and said to the fish: "Cousin, is your nose broken? This smells really good."

Many fish started sneezing as soon as they opened their mouths to speak.

The sound of sneezing was particularly loud in the somewhat quiet alley.

"It's late at night, can't people sleep? There's a sickly guy hanging around." Mrs. Dong's voice was a little sharp.

The four little cubs looked at each other and ran home in a flash.

After returning home, everyone else had gone to sleep, only Xu Ayu was still waiting for them in the hall.

She saw four people running and sweating profusely, and complained:

"He insisted on picking you up at the intersection, and he wouldn't listen no matter how much I tried to persuade him."

Xu Ayu put down the work in his hands and stood up to serve Wei Miao the meal.

Under the greedy gazes of the three little ones, she carried the fruit basket into the house.

The three cubs sighed together. Wei Ling said to the many fishes, "Cousin, you go to sleep. My second brother and I will take care of the flowers."

Xu Ayu stayed away from the flowers and asked her, "What's the point of raising flowers?"

Wei Ling said proudly, "Keep them overnight, package them tomorrow, and sell them at the entrance of the dance hall tonight."

Many fish had gleams in their eyes. Since she was born, she had basically been hanging around the Suzhou River area. She had only heard of dance halls and coffee shops but had never seen them.

"Can I go?"

Wei Miao, who was washing his hands, said, "You can't. You are allergic to flowers. You will get sick if you smell them for too long."

Many fish tried to deny it, but soon sneezed several more times.

This made Wei Ling and the other two curious and amused.

After simply washing his hands, Wei Miao went upstairs to the bedroom to see Wei Ada.

Under the dim light, he slept soundly.

Xu Ayu came out and didn't see Wei Miao, so he chased Wei Ling and the others:

"Go to bed quickly. I'll cut you a fruit plate tomorrow morning."

Wei Ling and many other fish cheered quietly, and Wei Ran also grinned so hard that the air leaked out.

She put the food on the table only after they had all left.

Wei Miao, who came down from upstairs, approached the table and saw the food in the bowl clearly. He then understood why Xu Ayu had sent the kids to bed.

Rice made from a mixture of rice and sorghum, a small bowl of braised pork with a rich red sauce, a plate of vegetables, and a small plate of salty shrimp paste to go with the rice.

Very rich and tempting.

Xu Ayu looked at Wei Miao wolfing down his food and said with concern:

"Eat slowly. If you don't have enough, mom will give you a croissant."

Wei Miao swallowed the food in his mouth and said:

"Mom, it's been a few days, why are there still croissants? They're spoiled and can't be eaten."

Xu Ayu felt a little uncomfortable and said:

"There are only three of them. The weather is cool now, so they will be fine if left for two days."

Wei Miao strongly disapproved of her frugal behavior and thought to himself that if he found that it was broken tomorrow, he would definitely throw it away in front of Xu A Yu.

After Xu Ayu saw that she had almost finished eating, he spoke:

"In the afternoon, Mr. Dong sent someone to deliver a message, still talking about what happened last time."

Wei Miao thought about the rickshaw in the yard, put down his chopsticks, and asked:

"What did Dad say?"

Xu Ayu raised his hand to pick the rice grains off his daughter's face and said with a bitter face:

"Your father said that the money should be paid, but the car should be kept, and he should continue to run it when he is well."

Xu Ayu now has the money given by Wei Miao twice. Although he is not as panicked as at the beginning, he is still worried about the future.

"I will talk to my father tomorrow and ask him to focus on recovering from his illness first. We can talk about other things later."

Xu Ayu looked at his daughter's calm and steady face, feeling proud but also a little ashamed.

She couldn't help but think of what happened more than ten years ago.

The year she was pregnant with A Miao, Wei A Da's grandmother was still alive.

The old lady wanted to continue the family line, and ever since Xu Ayu became pregnant, she kept saying:

"It has to be a big fat boy, otherwise I can't go down to see your grandfather!"

When he was lying in bed seriously ill, he touched Xu Ayu's big belly with his skinny hands and said faintly:

"I don't have many days left to live, I just hope that when I close my eyes, I can see my chubby baby being born~"

On the day Wei Miao was born, the old lady seemed to have sensed something. When she heard the baby crying, she shouted outside:

"Is it my daughter or my son?"

My parents-in-law couldn't bear to see my mother disappointed, so they told her it was a son.

The old lady had a last burst of vitality and lived until Wei Miao was one month old before she died with a smile on her face.

At that time, everyone was busy making a living, and the adults did not explain Wei Miao's identity to the neighbors, so they raised him as a boy.

I have raised it for so many years.

Two years ago, she wanted to let Wei Miao grow her hair long, put on a skirt, and then explain a few words to the neighbors, and the matter would be over.

As a result, not only did A Miao disagree, but he became more and more wild.

Wei Miao looked at Xu Ayu's expression and knew that she was feeling guilty about her identity again.

"Mom, I am very happy now."

Ever since Wei Miao saw Ada risking his life to protect her amidst the hail of bullets, she had decided that she needed to grow up slowly.

At least it made Xu Ayu and Wei Ada feel that she was capable of taking charge of the family.

In such troubled times, being a man is much more useful than being a woman.

Xu Ayu sniffed and said with a slightly choked voice:

"Mom knows, but these are what mom and dad should do."

Wei Miao held her arm and leaned her head on Xu Ayu's arm. The smell of soapberry and oil smoke mixed together made her feel very safe.

Xu Ayu pinched her daughter's cheek and said awkwardly:

"You are so old, but you still cling to your mom. Eat, wash up and go to bed. Grow taller soon."

At night, Wei Miao continued to move the blue bricks, crawled into the cracks, and continued to dig the hole.

She took a breath of the wealth that seemed to be rising from below, thinking that early tomorrow morning, Aunt Xiu would complain again about there being too many rats in the house.

Wei Miao grinned, wishing he could be rich so he could buy the yard of A Xiu's wife next door.

In this way, she could go to her house openly to look for the mechanism and find the cellar.

Early the next morning, Wei Miao stood under the eaves, watching the autumn rain falling in front of him. A gust of wind blew, and he felt a little cooler.

"Every autumn rain brings a chill. A Miao, don't wear only one layer of clothing. Put on one more layer of clothing."

Xu Ayu was wearing an apron and was about to bring breakfast to Wu Ziyang when she saw Wei Miao standing under the eaves in a daze and muttered something.

"I got it, Mom. I'll hold an umbrella for you." Wei Miao said and went to find an umbrella.

"Don't bother. It's just two steps away."

Xu Ayu opened the gate with one hand and saw a woman holding a flower umbrella standing outside the yard.

"Who are you looking for?" Xu Ayu looked a little alert and spoke first.
