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

In the evening, the snow fell even heavier. Wei Ling and several other students returned home. When they saw their eldest brother, they were very happy again.

After a sumptuous dinner, Lu Pingsheng rinsed his mouth, got up, and went to Zeng's house next door.

After Wu Ma and the others finished cleaning up, they went to the shop in the heavy snow.

In the living room with the door half-open, the family was chattering around a warm charcoal brazier.

Wei Miao was surrounded by a few little kids, asking them all kinds of questions.

"Brother, are there more people in Hong Kong Island than here?"

There was a teacher in Wei Ling’s class who graduated from the University of Hong Kong and often told them about the customs of Hong Kong Island.

Wei Miao thought for a moment, "Hong Kong Island is under British jurisdiction, the Chinese there are inferior people, and there are many rules."

Wei Ran sighed: "Isn't that pitiful?"

Wei Li, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "As if we are pitiful now."

Wei Ping blinked her eyes blankly and asked curiously:

"Sister Li, Pingmei is not pitiful. Pingmei has it very well. With you and big brother, she is not pitiful at all."

Wei Ling pulled Pingmei's little nose and said, "Silly girl."

Wei Ping pouted and asked for help from Wei Ada who was drinking tea comfortably.

"Dad, look at Sister Ling, she always bullies me."

Wei Ada pretended not to hear and continued drinking tea with his eyes narrowed.

Wei Miao patted Wei Dong's buttocks as he leaned against him, looked at the beautiful Wei Li and said:

"Li Mei, is someone bullying you at school?"

Wei Li quickly lowered her eyelashes, and when she raised them again, she met her brother's concerned gaze and suddenly felt the urge to confide in him.

"No one bullied me, but the more I read, the more I felt that society shouldn't be like this."

When Wei Miao heard this, he felt that Sister Li might have awakened the same patriotic talent as Brother Lu. He didn't know whether to be happy or congratulatory.

Wei Ran clenched his fist and said loudly:

“I really hope I can grow up quickly.”

"So we must study hard and serve our country!" Wei Ling made the final summary with a generous look on her face.

Pingmei nodded her head like pounding garlic, "Study hard, and then you can earn money as a dowry for Daguo..."

Wei Ling pulled her little nose again and corrected her: "It's a betrothal gift!"

"Yes, as a betrothal gift!" Pingmei readily changed her words.

Wei Dong saw that everyone had expressed their opinions, so he slid down on his short legs, stood in front of everyone, put his hands behind his back and spoke loudly:

"We study to establish our mind for the world, to establish our destiny for the people, to carry on the lost knowledge of the ancient sages, and to bring peace to the world for all eternity!"

When the family heard his clear and crisp voice, they were all stunned for a moment.

Seeing that the children were silent, Wei Ada put down his teacup and said calmly:

"Adong is right, we really need peace!"

Although the younger ones had only studied for one year, they were still not able to understand such awkward sentences.

They all thought their father was right.

Instead, Wei Miao kicked the brazier under his feet, looked at the little boy's tense face, and teased him:

"Do you know what this means?"

Wei Dong raised his chin and answered crisply:

"do not know!"

Seeing his brothers and sisters grinning at him, Wei Dong straightened his chest and continued:

"The other day I asked Master Zhishang why I had to memorize the Thousand Character Classic and the Three Character Classic and learn all these random things when I was studying medicine."

"So, Master Zhi Shang asked you to carry this?"

Wei Dong shook his head and said like an elf:

"No, Mr. Zeng spoke out after hearing it."

Xu Ayu, who came out holding the child, heard it and said happily:

"Adong is just like you. He has a good memory and remembers everything after hearing it once."

Wei Miao saw the baby nibbling in Xu Ayu's arms and reached out to hold it.

Xu Ayu ignored the baby's pouting and put the child in Wei Miao's arms.

"You hold his butt and drag his head..."

Xu Ayu was standing by and guiding Wei Miao to hold the baby, and the older ones gathered together to look at the cubs.

"Asi always cries for a while after dinner every day, but he was very well behaved today." Wei Ling muttered.

The cub Asi was not only well-behaved, but also gave his elder brother a shameless smile to please him, causing Wei Ping to scream several times.

Wei Ada looked at the children in front of him and said to Xu Ayu happily:

"It's great to have A Miao back. You can have a good sleep now."

Xu Ayu rolled her eyes to the sky. She didn't know who comforted her every day by saying that when children grow up, they should go out into the world and explore the world.

Every time he said this, Xu Ayu would pinch him even more. Others might not know, but as a father, didn't he know that A Miao was a girl?

What the hell!

The greenhouse on the second floor of the Zeng family next door was burning the best charcoal, so it was warm and green.

Lu Pingsheng and Uncle Zeng Bao, who was wearing a cloak, sat by the window.

"I'm afraid the snow outside will fall all night." Uncle Zeng Bao, who was making tea, coughed lightly and spoke softly.

Lu Pingsheng glanced at the brightly lit glass greenhouse, smelled the fragrance of tea, and said nonchalantly:

"The rich are feasting and drinking, while the poor are freezing to death on the streets!"

Uncle Zeng Bao filled the cup in front of him with tea, "Mr. Lu really cares about the country and the people."

Lu Pingsheng smirked and said, “Mr. Zeng is not as loyal to the emperor and patriotic as him.”

Uncle Zeng Bao raised his eyes and looked at him indifferently. When their eyes met, neither of them showed any intention of avoiding the gaze.

After a while, Uncle Zeng Bao chuckled, "Mr. Lu, we are not enemies, what do you think? At least not yet."

Lu Pingsheng withdrew his gaze. He didn't want to beat around the bush, but he had to let Uncle Zeng Bao know that not only did he have leverage over him as a Central Bureau of Investigation agent, but he also knew his background.

Otherwise, things will be really difficult later on.

Uncle Zeng Bao bowed towards the Northeast and said:

"If Mr. Lu can give Ah Miao to me, I can convince him to go back to Mengdi."

Seeing the enthusiasm and seriousness in Uncle Zeng Bao's eyes, Lu Pingsheng didn't want to explore why he insisted on taking this path.

Just like Uncle Zeng Bao didn’t understand why he chose that path.

"Mr. Zeng, Ah Miao has never been anyone's property. Neither you nor I can influence his decision."

The enthusiasm on Uncle Zeng Bao's face faded, and he coughed heart-wrenchingly for a while before sighing:

"One wrong step, every wrong step."

Uncle Zeng Bao recalled that when he was in Guandong, he heard Huang Baoquan telling about his interesting stories in Shanghai, and a vivid and clever little kid flashed in his mind.

When he knew that he had left the house in Osmanthus to the little boy, he thought that if he had the chance, he would definitely take a look at it.

He was seriously ill and fainted. When Master Zhishang brought him to Guihuali, he pointed at the door opposite and said in a veiled manner:

"Your hope, your expectations, your ambitions, all depend on this."

He was disheartened at that time and felt that everything was up to fate, so he did not deliberately look for Wei Miao.

Now it seems that Master Zhishang was right, everything has its destiny.

Thinking of this, Uncle Zeng Bao sighed and said:

"What happened at the dock has nothing to do with you. Someone from the underground party was drinking and was recognized by a traitor and arrested on the spot."

"Drinking wine for prostitutes?" It was difficult for Lu Pingsheng to connect drinking wine for prostitutes with the underground party.

Seeing his surprised look, Uncle Zeng curled his lips and said sarcastically:

"They are also human beings. They are not all firm believers. They also have the desire to eat, drink and have fun. Didn't your president also call the Green Gang brothers and sisters?"

Lu Pingsheng thought for a moment, then smiled and said:

"One word from you is worth ten years of reading."
