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

The next morning, Wei Ada sent away the two brothers who came to pick the braised meat and went into the house.

He turned around and said to Wei Miao who was wiping his face with a towel:

"Ah Miao, I think it will rain again today, so when we go out later, let's bring an umbrella."

Wei Miao wrung the towel dry and hung it up.

"Dad, I told Aunt Wu that we won't have breakfast at home."

Wei Ada patted his pocket and said, "Dad brought the money."

Xu Ayu looked at the father and daughter helplessly, "You two have really forgotten the hard times in the past."

Wei Ada shrank his head and gave Wei Miao a look, signaling her to move faster.

Wei Miao put on a thick cotton jacket and walked away.

"and many more."

Xu Ayu's words froze the father and daughter. Wei Miao turned around and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Xu Ayu picked up a box of Reed Snow Cream from the towel rack, scooped out a small amount, and smeared it on Wei Miao's fair face.

"You have to take good care of your face if you work today. It looked rough yesterday."

Wei Miao felt Xu Ayu's rough and powerful hands rubbing his face, and he was too lazy to resist.

After touching it, Xu Ayu was very satisfied, "No wonder it's so expensive, it's really fair and rosy after touching it."

Wei Miao raised his hand to rub his hot cheek, but was quickly stopped by Xu Ayu.

"What are you doing? Don't touch it."

Wei Miao saw Xu Ayu looking quite accomplished and asked, "Mom, can we go now?"

Xu Ayu reached out and touched his daughter's hand, feeling the warmth, and tugged at her coat before muttering:

"Come back after you two have finished looking at the shops. It's very chaotic outside right now. There are gunshots in broad daylight."

Wei A nature agreed.

Xu Ayu stared at the father and son's backs as they disappeared, then he felt a little melancholy and prepared to go into the house.

When she lowered her head, she saw Wei Dongzheng taking out the cream from her hand and applying it on his face.

The child was so greedy that his little face became greasy, which was very funny.

"What are you doing touching this, little kid?"

Xu Ayu bent down and helped him spread the cream evenly, and wiped the excess on his own face.

"The big pot smells good, and A-dong also wants it to smell good."

Xu Ayu kept the words "Brother Nong is different from you guys" on his lips, and finally rubbed his head where a little stubble had grown, turned around and went back to the house.

Forget it, why think so much?

Wei Miao handed the hot crab shell yellow in his hand to Wei Ada, "Dad, this is the sweet taste you like."

Wei Ada waved his hand and smiled, "Ah Miao, eat by yourself. Dad is not hungry."

If it had been when she first arrived, Wei Miao would have taken it seriously. Now she felt that she had grasped the essence of what the adults said.

She stuffed the crab shell roe into Wei Ada's hand and started eating the rest.

From time to time, I looked at the roadside stalls, where there were pancakes and fried dough sticks next to the golden fried rice cakes.

Wei Ada seldom went out with his daughter, so he would buy whatever she liked.

On the way to the store, the father and son ate more than ten kinds of breakfast in just the time it took to turn a corner.

Pan-fried scallion pancakes, pot stickers, everything was included.

Wei Ada had already eaten his fill, but his daughter's stomach was like a bottomless pit, and she was still eating.

He suddenly couldn't remember the two most difficult years.

How did A Miao survive by eating so little?

When they reached the door of the store, Wei Miao saw that Wei Ada's eyes were red.

She thought for a moment, took out ten French dollars from her pocket, stuffed them into his pocket and said:

"Dad, this is your private money. I won't tell Mom."

Wei Ada looked at the banknotes in his hand and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Boss Wei, you're here."

A slightly older man with a saw in his hand greeted him.

"Brother Gu, thank you for your help."

These decoration workers were the ones who helped Lu Pingsheng decorate his villa in the Japanese Concession.

Seeing that they did their job efficiently and with Yang Qiushi as their guarantor, Lu Pingsheng asked them to come and help the Wei family.

Wei Ada also likes this group of hardworking and professional workers.

"After we finish today, you can inspect the work and our work will be finished."

The smile on Wei Ada's face grew even wider. He had finally waited so long for this day.

While they were chatting, Wei Miao looked around the store with great interest.

The square shop was divided into two parts, with a door in the middle.

There are seven or eight chairs and benches on the larger side, and there are shelves against the wall on the smaller side, with a counter made of large glass in front.

"We have done all the cleaning today, and we are just waiting for you, Boss Wei, to deliver the goods."

Wei Ada just laughed. Even though he came to see them every day, he was still very excited when he saw the pretending appearance.

Wei Miao went to the kitchen at the back and found that it was extremely spacious and bright. There was no pot on the entire row of stoves yet.

Wei Miao counted and found there were eight big pots in total. They were preparing for a big event!

"Ah Miao, what do you think needs improvement?"

Wei Ada asked.

Wei Miao looked at it carefully. The floor was flat, the walls were clean, even the stove was built in good condition, and the shelves and chairs were made of sufficient materials.

"Dad, I'm fine." She said sincerely.

Wei Ada felt relieved after hearing this. He also felt that there was no problem, but he always wanted A Miao to take a look to feel at ease.

When the boss surnamed Gu heard the young master say this, he felt relieved.

In their line of work, they fear most when someone is slow to lend money.

Seven or eight people worked day and night for most of the month, just waiting to get the money to buy rice and noodles for their families to live on.

Several families have run out of food.

Wei Ada didn't understand any profound principles, but he had suffered and knew how difficult it was for the poor.

After hearing what Wei Miao said, he said without any ambiguity:

"Brother Gu, let's settle the accounts now and give you the balance."

Wei Miao watched Wei Ada take out a cross-body bag from his cotton-padded jacket. The bag was bulging with money, which must be his wages.

She actually thought that Wei Ada was crying because he was heartbroken because she bought too much food.

When the other workers heard that they had to pay, they immediately became excited.

Chirping and talking, what are they going to do with the money?

Wei Miao sat by the glass window, squinting at the sunlight coming in.

I listened quietly as one of them said he wanted to buy cakes for his daughter, another said he wanted to buy a piece of cloth for his wife, and another said he wanted to buy a pair of shoes for his mother.

That's just the life of the world.

She seemed to be able to feel their joy, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.

Wei Miao supported his chin with one hand, and suddenly saw three or four familiar people in a car parked opposite.

The place where Wei Miao looked at Tianming was an inconspicuous antique shop.

These three people got together, they must be planning to steal her treasure.

Wei Miao stood up and said to Wei Ada who was settling the accounts:

"Dad, you can go home after you finish your calculations. I'm going to Xinxing Department Store."

After saying that, she walked out without waiting for Wei Ada to answer.
