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

The entrance of the alley in winter is where the cold wind blows, which is not a good place to chat.

At this moment, Wei Miao just wanted to go back to his room, lie down in the golden house and take a deep sleep to calm down.

But at this moment, he had to pretend to be an ignorant boy and continue chatting with the person in front of him whose identity was questionable.

Zhu Qi seemed to be in a good mood, as if amused by her appearance, and explained her doubts:

"There are markings on the rickshaws in the Japanese Concession."

Wei Miao scratched his head, smiled with white teeth and said in realization:

"I really do not know."

Zhu Qi continued to ask with great interest: "What are you doing in the Japanese Concession?"

Before Wei Miao could answer, Cui Lijuan stamped her feet impatiently, "You're freezing to death, come inside and talk?"

After hearing this, Zhu Qi naturally held Cui Lijuan's hand and said worriedly: "It's my fault. Forget Lijuan, you are afraid of the cold."

Cui Lijuan smiled shyly.

"Clang."

There was a sound behind him, and Wei Miao turned his head to see Xiao Jiangsu staring straight at Cui Lijuan and Zhu Qi's clasped hands.

"uncle."

Wei Miao ran to Xiao Jiangsu's wonton stall. It was cold and it was not meal time, so there were no customers at the stall.

"Uncle, cook me two bowls, no! Five bowls of wontons." She said in an extremely heroic tone.

Little Jiangsu looked away awkwardly and curled his lips, "Ah Miao, long time no see, what have you been doing recently?"

Wei Miao placed his hand on the stove where he was cooking wontons to borrow some heat.

"Two months ago, I went to Hong Kong Island with Brother Lu and just came back a few days ago. I came here to collect rent for Brother Lu these few days. After the heavy snow, I also came to ask the tenants if there are any problems with the house that need to be repaired."

Little Jiangsu praised absentmindedly: "Mr. Lu is kind-hearted. If Ah Miao works hard under him, he will definitely have a bright future."

Wei Miao nodded, looking very satisfied.

"Give us two bowls of wontons as well." Zhu Qi held Cui Lijuan's hand and said gently to Xiao Jiangsu.

Xiao Jiang Su paused while wrapping wontons. "Okay, wait a moment, you two."

Zhu Qi seemed unaware and said to Cui Lijuan:

"Let's sit with A Miao."

Cui Lijuan nodded, "It just so happens that I haven't seen A Miao for a long time."

After the two of them sat down naturally, Wei Miao asked Cui Lijuan naturally: "Sister Lijuan, where are grandma and Brother Cui?"

"My mother took my brother, sister-in-law and children to church."

Speaking of the church, Wei Miao remembered that he should go and see Sister Mary when he returned.

"Is Sister Mary all right?"

Cui Lijuan blushed and said, "I just got home today too."

Wei Miao blinked and decided not to ask whether Cui Aping's twins were boys or girls.

Judging from the time, the baby should be just one month old.

It is now popular in Shanghai churches to baptize babies who are just one month old.

Grandma Cui is a devout Christian, so I'm sure she wouldn't miss it.

I just don’t know how to convince the extremely aggressive Mrs. Cui.

Seeing Cui Lijuan's dejected expression, Zhu Qi said guiltily, "Lijuan, it's my fault. You cut off contact with your family in order to take care of me."

Cui Lijuan turned her head to look at him, her eyes full of affection, "Aqi, how can I blame you? I did it voluntarily."

The wonton pot behind him was cooking with clinking sounds, and it seemed that Xiao Jiangsu’s unrequited love was over.

Wei Miao decided to give some comfort to the heartbroken person and said with a smile:

"Uncle, I heard that Brother Nanjing got a promotion."

Xiao Jiangsu's tense expression finally relaxed, and he said with great pride: "He was appreciated by his superiors, and now he is the squad leader, managing several people."

The police in the International Settlement had clear ranks, and some had been patrolling in the position for decades.

It is not easy for little Nanjing to skip three levels.

"When little Wu was sixteen, he was still teasing cats and dogs. But Nanjing is now the squad leader."

This sentence completely made Little Jiangsu feel better. He kept saying, "I dare not compare myself with Patrolman Xiao Wu. If your brother Nanjing is half as good as him, I will have no regrets in my life."

Wei Miao breathed a sigh of relief. When Xiao Jiangsu was in a bad mood, his wonton-making skills were very unstable.

She had finally come back, so she had to eat the most delicious food.

Zhu Qi looked at the middle-aged man busy at the stove with a little surprise. He was short in stature, with an ordinary face, and there was nothing outstanding about him.

I never thought he had such a promising son.

"Lijuan, you should have brought me back earlier to meet the other neighbors." He looked at Cui Lijuan with affection in his eyes.

Cui Lijuan's face was slightly flushed, "Didn't I bring you back?"

Zhu Qi seemed to like the shy look on his family members' faces and laughed gently.

Wei Miao glanced at Xiao Jiangsu's fallen face and held his cheek helplessly, not intending to say anything more.

She didn't say anything, but the enthusiastic and talkative Zhu Qi obviously didn't want to let her go.

"Ah Miao, do you have any friends in the Japanese Concession?"

Wei Miao did not hide it, "My boss lives in the Japanese Concession."

Zhu Qi raised his eyebrows, "Is your boss Japanese?"

Anyway, these things can be known by just asking, so Wei Miao told the story of her relationship with Lu Pingsheng very honestly.

After that, he complained to Cui Lijuan and Xiao Jiangsu: "Brother Lu has not been home since he came back. He must be partying every night and treating me like a slave."

These words made all three of them laugh.

But Zhu Qi's smile did not reach his eyes, and he asked with scrutiny, "Ah Miao, is the Mr. Lu you are talking about the legendary figure Lu Pingsheng in Shanghai this year?"

Wei Miao's eyes widened again, "Mr. Zhu, you have also heard of my boss's name. Is it because he won two streets in the casino?"

Zhu Qi nodded, "Not only that, there are many others."

Wei Miao nodded seriously, "Indeed, he is very ostentatious."

Zhu Qi laughed out loud.

Just at this time, the first pot of wontons was cooked, and each of the three people had a bowl in front of them.

The green chopped green onions are covered with lard and the small wontons are steaming hot.

"I'll eat first!"

Wei Miao smiled at the two of them, picked up the spoon, scooped up a wonton, and blew on it several times with his cheeks puffed out.

Fortunately, it was a cold winter day, and the cool air quickly reached a moderate temperature. I drank it in one gulp, and it made my eyebrows drop.

"Uncle, it's delicious! This is the best wonton I have ever eaten in my life."

Wei Miao felt that Xiao Jiangsu had experienced a lot of disappointment in love, so he gave him a big smile and lots of flattery.

Little Jiangsu laughed and said, "You haven't even grown all your hair yet, and you dare to say such big words in your life."

With the delicious food in front of him, Wei Miao had no mood to talk.

He finished a bowl of wontons in no time. When he looked up, he saw Cui Lijuan opposite him had already eaten most of it.

Only Zhu Qisili was stirring the bowl full of oil slowly, which seemed a bit forced.

"Brother Aqi, is it not to your taste?" Cui Lijuan seemed to have noticed it.

Seeing Cui Lijuan and Wei Miao eating with relish, Zhu Qi didn't have the courage to say that the wontons were salty.

"I'm not very hungry."

Cui Lijuan nodded and put down the spoon as well, "It's my fault. I forgot that you have a light diet."

Wei Miao pretended not to hear and waited anxiously for Xiao Jiangsu to make the next pot.

Cui Lijuan saw Zhu Qi eating, so she paid and prepared to leave.

"Ah Miao, are you still going out? If not, wait for my mom to come back and come home to eat scallion pancakes."

Wei Miao nodded repeatedly.

"I should stay for a few days."

Xiao Jiangsu took Cui Lijuan's money and gave her the change.

Cui Lijuan waved her hand, smiled brightly at him, and left taking Zhu Qi's arm.

It was not until the two of them got on the rickshaw at the intersection that Xiao Jiangsu withdrew his gaze with a sense of loss and met Wei Miao's clean and clear eyes.

"What are you looking at?" Little Jiangsu blushed.

Wei Miao chuckled and said, "Uncle, your cooking skills are superb today. I want five more bowls."

Little Jiangsu muttered, "You little brat, you're going to make me poor."

Wei Miao felt that he had done a good thing.

After all, if you fail in love, you will succeed in your career! Talking about making money is the long-term plan.
