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

Li Xiaoya lived in the east room of Wei Miao's house.

She is beautiful and speaks gently, and Wei Li and the others like her very much.

However, Xu Ayu was always polite to Li Xiaoya.

Wei Miao teased her, "Mom, you have become much more refined since Miss Li came."

Xu Ayu sighed, "If it weren't for Patrolman Xiao Wu, I wouldn't want to talk to her."

Wei Ling was making balls of wool for Xu Ayu nearby. After hearing what she said, she said:

"Ah Ma is afraid that she will scare Miss Li by speaking too loudly, so she will lose three dollars a month."

Wei Ling's head tilted to one side due to the angry tapping of Xu Ayu, and she said angrily:

"Go away, go away. What are you doing here, kid? You're interrupting a conversation that's going on."

Wei Ling put the ball of yarn in her hand into the basket and ran away. When she reached the door, she turned around and said to Xu Ayu:

"Brother is only two years older than me, how can he be an adult? Humph!"

Xu Ayu was so angry that he fell backwards, "You stupid girl, don't let me catch you."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and saw Wei Miao smiling with curved eyebrows, a small nose and shallow dimples. She felt sad.

"Ah Miao, start growing your hair long next year."

Wei Miao did not argue with Xu Ayu about this matter, but changed the subject:

"Mom, next spring, let's send my younger brother and sister to school."

Xu Ayu seemed to be amused by her Arabian Nights story. He carefully put the wool in his hand into the basket and said:

"Ah Miao, although life at home is better now, your father won't be able to make money anymore. Even food is a problem. How can you go to school?"

She raised her hand and rubbed her daughter's short stubble, saying gently:

"Ama has no other hope in this life. She only hopes that you brothers and sisters will grow up safely, get married and have children."

Everyone has his or her own values ​​and ideas about life, and Wei Miao will not impose his own things on them.

Women like Grandma Cui, Xu Ayu, and Wei Ada were all driven by fate.

They cannot ask for more in this cannibalistic world, and the only thing they can do is to overdraw what they have to resist the injustice imposed by fate.

"What did you say?"

Wu Ziyang appeared in a patrol uniform, followed by Li Xiaoya with blushing cheeks.

Xu Ayu smiled and said:

"It's all Ah Miao. Seeing that Miss Li is an educated person, she joked with me about sending Ah Ran and the others to school. Only families like Dr. Ding can afford to go to school. People like us who work hard wouldn't dare to dream of such a dream."

Wu Ziyang waved to Wei Ran who was teasing the ducks in the yard, handed him a large yellow croaker, and instructed:

"Please keep it safe so your Ali doesn't eat it."

Ahri is the injured tabby cat that Wei Miao brought back.

This cat has a strong personality. During the day, it either sleeps in Wei Miao's room or lies on the beam. At night, it catches mice. It will not let anyone touch it except Wei Miao. It is very ferocious.

When Wei Ran heard Ahri, he shrank his neck, but still defended:

"Little Angkor, Ahri won't steal food."

Patrolman Xiao Wu raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, his peach blossom eyes curved, and he joked:

"You are such a jerk. It scratched your hand and left several bloody cuts, and you still speak for it."

Wei Ran laughed and went to the kitchen with the fish in his hand.

In the living room, the four of them sat down and continued the previous topic. Li Xiaoya said:

"Ah Miao's idea is very good. A Ling and A Li are both smart children. If they can read and write, they will definitely be even better."

Li Xiaoya is a music teacher who earns 35 yuan a month, so she feels that the tuition fee of only 2.4 yuan a year is really not very expensive.

Xu Ayu smiled awkwardly, but Wei Miao took over and asked, "Ms. Li, when is your school's spring enrollment?"

Li Xiaoya turned her head and looked at Wu Ziyang, her cheeks flushed, and said softly:

"I just came to this school too. I'll tell you the details tomorrow after I've asked."

Wu Ziyang watched Li Xiaoya and Wei Miao's family chatting happily, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his peach blossom eyes flashed with a tenderness he had never seen before.

After the two of them left, Xu Ayu put down the work in his hands and sighed:

"Miss Xu will be sad if she knows."

Wei Miao was used to seeing women coming and going around Wu Ziyang, but he had to admit that Li Xiaoya was the most special one.

She learned from Lu Pingsheng that Li Xiaoya was Wu Ziyang's childhood sweetheart.

We lost contact when she was about ten years old. I only recently learned that she went to live in Japan with her parents. She returned to China to look for Wu Ziyang after her parents died in Japan.

The last time Wu Ziyang’s arm was injured was somewhat related to Li Xiaoya. This time he finally met her and even placed her right under his nose.

At the end, Lu Pingsheng sighed, "Since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beauty. The prodigal son is about to turn back."

For lunch, Xu Ayu steamed the yellow croaker that Patrolman Xiao Wu brought.

Xu Ayu sent the fattest and tenderest fish belly meat to Miss Li's room.

"Mom, will little Angkor Wu marry Miss Li?" Wei Li asked.

Xu Ayu rubbed his hands on his apron and said unhappily:

"Little kids, why do you always care about adults' affairs? You can't even keep your mouth shut while eating."

Wei Ling made a face at Wei Li, and they both started eating.

It’s just that Sister Lan’s expression was a little dazed.

Xu Ayu served Wei Ada some soup, then asked Sister Lan:

"Alan, how is your foreign language study going?"

Sister Lan was suddenly called out, her plump cheeks flushed slightly, and she said generously:

"Aunt, I remember everything A Miao taught me."

Xu Ayu happily drank a mouthful of soup and exclaimed:

"Sister Lan is a promising child. Ah Miao has become more and more intelligent since he learned foreign languages."

Xu Ayu likes her two children from her mother's family very much. During this period, they came and helped her a lot.

Apart from cooking and taking care of Wei Ada, Sister Lan takes care of almost all the rest of the housework.

This way, Ali and Ping have more time to make matchboxes. On a monthly basis, they can earn a small amount of money, enough to buy several kilograms of meat.

Xuanyu took Wei Ran and Wei Ling to pick up coal briquettes every day. The utility room at home was full of coal slag, enough to burn for a whole winter.

Thinking of this, she said to Sister Lan:

"Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Let A Miao take you home and talk to your parents about this. If they agree, go find a job and come back after the festival."

When Manyuyu heard that they had to go back, she suddenly felt that the food was not delicious anymore. She said to her aunt in a coquettish way:

"Aunt, what if my mother and her family disagree? They want my sister to marry Zhiguo, the shipowner next door."

After hearing this, Sister Xu Lan dropped the chopsticks in her hand to the ground and her face turned extremely pale.
