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

In the evening, the spring rain stopped.

After the family had dinner, the afterglow of the setting sun enveloped the entire courtyard, and the chirping of insects began to fill the courtyard, which had been quiet for a whole winter.

Wei Ada sat on a small chair under the eaves, took a sip of the slightly sweet chrysanthemum tea, hugged Wei Dong and said comfortably:

"When the Waking of Insects arrives, white insects begin to chirp."

Wei Dong imitated him and when he was about to put down the teacup, he took a big sip of chrysanthemum tea from Wei Ada's hand.

Weidong had a large bag of water in his mouth, his brows furrowed like a little old man. He wanted to vomit but realized that he was the one who rushed to drink it, so he finally swallowed it bitterly.

"Dad, there's no candy." He felt very aggrieved.

Wei Ling brought a tray with a delicate little bowl on it and placed it in front of Wei Miao.

"Brother, guess what this is?"

The girl took off her thick winter coat and put on a light green thin coat, her eyes were delicate and full of vitality.

Wei Miao took a look and teased her, "Is this Tremella fuciformis?"

Wei Ling smiled happily, "This is bird's nest."

"Where does it come from?" Bird's nest is always a rare commodity at any time.

When Wei Miao didn’t have enough to eat in the past, he would stare at the swallow’s nest under the eaves in a daze and melancholy.

He sighed that the swallows under his house could only drool but not spit.

It’s not that she wanted to eat the bird’s nest, but she wanted to exchange it for money.

"Xiao Qian and his family left in a hurry, and all the food and supplies were sent home, including many high-end supplements and precious medicinal materials, but Nong A-ma didn't want them. Xiao Qian went into the kitchen and emptied out all the shrimp paste and drunken crab eight-treasure dish that Nong A-ma had made..."

Wei Ada told Wei Miao the whole story.

Wei Miao looked at the snow-white bird's nest dotted with red wolfberries and a hint of red flowers, which was very beautiful.

"Dad, drink too."

It was Wei Ling’s first time stewing bird’s nest, and everyone got a portion.

Wei Ada pushed Wei Li, who had been silent the whole time, and said, "Limei, drink this. It's good for girls to drink this. We men don't drink this."

Pingmei's chubby little hand held the bowl and looked at Wei Miao who was holding the spoon in confusion, "Then big brother is not a man?"

After the Chinese New Year, Pingmei was finally able to explain the difference between "big brother" and "big pot".

Wei Dong was very happy about this and whispered to Wei Miao that he was the only one in the world who would always call her "Big Pot"

Xu Ayu, who was holding A Xi who had just woken up, restrained his smile and a look of worry flashed across his brows.

Wei Miao drank up the bird's nest in the bowl, even the wolfberry and safflower. After swallowing them all, he said to Wei Dong:

"Only men as old as Daguo can drink bird's nest. Nong wants to drink it to grow up quickly."

Wei Dong agreed with it and nodded in agreement, which made everyone laugh again.

Xu Ayu stood on the eaves and looked towards the door frequently, his brows becoming more and more furrowed.

Wei Ada was the first to notice his abnormality and comforted her:

"I went to look for my second brother's wife before dinner. The neighbor said that my second brother's wife disappeared years ago. That family saw her and grabbed her and asked me for her."

Xu Ayu didn't care that he called the woman "Second Brother's Wife" and hit him, saying anxiously:

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? We all thought Ah Ran had gone there. Now he's not here, where could he go?"

Before Wei Ada could speak, Wei Li's beautiful eyes flashed with sarcasm and said:

"He always goes out before and after the New Year, skips classes countless times, and the things I bought for him are always gone. He never says a word about it after returning home. It's obvious that he has something on his mind."

Sister Li was wearing a light yellow jacket, a color that should have been lively, but it was suppressed by her cold expression, making her look very cold and restrained.

Wei Ran's matter had obviously become a concern for the family, and the cheerful atmosphere just now disappeared.

"Jingle Bell."

Just at this moment, the phone rang. Wei Ping stood on tiptoe to answer the phone, took the receiver with great effort and spoke in a baby voice:

"Hello! This is the Wei family. Who are you looking for?"

Then he opened his round eyes and listened for a while before saying:

"Then please wait a moment."

She put the phone aside and trotted over to Wei Miao, "Brother, it's Miss Bai calling."

Wei Miao pinched her cheek, "Thank you, Sister Ping."

Now, not only the younger ones, but even Xu Ayu and Wei Ada were looking towards the direction of the phone.

"A Miao, it's so hard to find you." Bai Meigui's lazy voice came from the phone, making people feel numb.

"I heard that Miss Bai is doing very well in the Qing Gang, but I haven't congratulated her in person yet."

White Rose chuckled, "It's just a false reputation built up by money, not worth mentioning."

Wei Miao felt that she was being modest. In the past two years, Bai Meigui had used sulfa drugs to build connections and seize the management rights of the two largest black markets. She also used shipping profits to tie up the Green Gang bosses. Now, whenever the gangs discussed important matters, she was always involved.

"Ah Miao, there will be a celebration banquet at the Paris Theater in three days, please come and support us."

White Rose states the purpose.

Wei Miao had read in the newspaper that Bai Meigui was investing in movies.

"I heard that the movie invested by Miss Bai was very popular during the Spring Festival and everyone was following it. Congratulations."

Bai Meigui was not modest at all and was laughing heartily on the other end of the phone.

Most of the people in the Green Gang were involved in smoking, gambling and prostitution.

Her family and education made her instinctively hate these things.

As long as the people below have money, they can do anything, but once the people above have money, they start to want to be respectable.

Lu Pingsheng gave her some advice, which made her suddenly enlightened.

Movies are a fashionable thing with high profits and are respectable, and are very popular in the foreign concessions. She went from raising investment to filming, and finally it was released during the Chinese New Year and was extremely popular.

Not only did he make a fortune and gain both fame and fortune, he also made two actresses famous and signed them.

"Brother Nonglu is the major shareholder, but it's a pity..."

When talking about Lu Pingsheng, Bai Meigui felt a little sad. Such a good person became paralyzed just like that.

When she went to visit the patient, she saw the thin figure on the bed and thought of his high-spirited and profiteer appearance, and it always seemed unreal.

Wei Miao and Bai Meigui agreed to attend the celebration party for her movie at the "Paris Grand Theater" at 7 pm three days later. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wei Miao hung up the phone.

He turned his head to meet the eyes of his family, spread his hands and asked Xu Ayu, "Mom, I want to have white rice porridge with fried dumplings and pickled radish tomorrow morning..."

Wei Ling smiled so hard that her teeth were showing that she took his arm and volunteered:

"Brother, I will fry some dough sticks for you to taste tomorrow morning."

Seeing the expectation on her eldest brother's face, Wei Ling's tail was lifted up to the sky, "Mom, now you still say that I always like to go into the kitchen and it's useless?"

Xu Ayu smiled at Wei Miao and said:

"Although Lingmei is not as good at studying as Lijie and Range, her cooking skills are quite similar to that of Nongtai's grandfather. The stewed food she makes now is very good. Even if she doesn't study in the future, she will have a future."

When Wei Ling heard the compliment, she smiled happily and told Wei Miao her ideal ambitiously:

"In the future, we will open braised meat shops all over the foreign land. Each shop will make ten dollars a day. A hundred shops will make a thousand dollars. A thousand shops will make ten thousand dollars..."

Wei Miao was just about to speak and praise her when he suddenly felt a pain in his lower abdomen, and then something flowed out from under him.

Since Xu Ayu came back from Wei Miao, his eyes were almost always on her. Now seeing her pale face, biting her lips and covering her stomach, he understood instantly.

He threw the extremely well-behaved Ah Xi in his arms to Wei Ada, who had no idea what was going on, and half-hugged Wei Miao as he walked into the room.
