I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China
Chapter 6: Busy raising a family in a foreign land 6
Xu Ayu pushed open the bedroom door with trembling hands and saw Pingmei and Limei lying barefoot in front of Wei Ada's bed.
The two little guys had just woken up, and their messy yellow hair formed a little mess on their big heads.
They were startled by the noise and turned their heads to stare at the somewhat crazy Xu Ayu without blinking.
If it were the fiery Xu Ayu in the past, she would definitely slap them on the buttocks, but now she just pushed them apart and stared at the pale man on the hospital bed with her red eyes.
Wei Ada's eyes were open but lifeless, and his brows were twisted tightly because of the pain.
He looked at his mistress's miserable appearance, his mouth opening and closing.
"Big Mom, Big Dad said: Don't cry, it's ugly!"
Li Mei had sharp ears and heard it clearly, so she quickly passed on the message.
The child's voice is so soft that it makes people feel sad and soft.
Xu Ayu covered her mouth tightly, but tears kept falling down, wetting the rough back of her hands.
At this time, Wei Ran and Wei Ling, who had already washed and changed their clothes, also pushed the door open.
Wei Miao handed the crying Wei Dong to Wei Ran, walked to the bed, and carefully observed Wei Ada's condition.
The person did wake up, and it was worth it for her to spend all her money to ask others to buy these medicines.
"What are you all doing here? Go, go, go, all of you, Li Mei, go light the fire, Ling Mei, wash the rice and cook the porridge, Ran Ge, you coax your little brother and go back to sleep..."
When Xu Ayu saw her man wake up, her former agility returned.
He sent the children out in no time, but stayed by the bed without moving.
Seeing her appearance, Wei Miao didn't want to disturb the couple, so he took Pingmei, who had just turned five, downstairs.
Pingmei walked up the wooden stairs and asked Wei Miao in a baby voice:
"Da Jiao, Dad is alive again, right?"
Wei Miao pinched the little girl's chicken claws and said softly:
"That's right. When he gets better in a couple of days, he'll be able to throw you away with one hand again."
Pingmei seemed to think of something funny and giggled as she covered her mouth.
Wei Miao went downstairs, walked through the living room and entered the kitchen.
She took out a bowl, stood on a stool, reached over the top of the tall cupboard, and found the jar where Xu Ayu had hidden the candy.
A bunch of little idiots were watching her every move. Wei Ping, with a smile in her eyes, spoke first:
"Big pot, I won't complain to my mother."
Wei Ling sneered disdainfully, "You are so smart at such a young age, as if we are all going to complain."
White sugar costs 0.96 cents per pound. The sugar in the jar was bought during the Chinese New Year last year. It was a little lumpy due to moisture, so even if you save it as much as you can, only a little bit is left.
"Brother, will grandpa be fine if he drinks the sugar water?" The obedient Wei Li swallowed her saliva, looking at the sugar at the bottom of the bowl with eager eyes.
Wei Miao took the kettle from the stove, poured some sugar water, and said to them:
"Dad is sick, give him some candy to sweeten his mouth."
Pingmei nodded her big little head heavily. Every time she did this, Wei Miao was afraid that her slender neck would not be able to support her big head.
This is a symptom of malnutrition, a big head and a small body, which is common in this era.
Wei Miao was in the same situation at the beginning, but later he secretly supplemented his nutrition and gradually recovered.
When she first arrived, her grandparents and the uncle and aunt from the Wei family were all there.
The elderly look after the house and the children while the four adults go out to work.
The younger uncle of the Wei family works as a laborer at the dock, and the younger aunt and Aunt Xiu from next door work as maids for others.
While Wei Ada drove a rickshaw, Xu Ayu made the famous local snack "dried tofu" and sold it at the dock.
Four adults all have income, so it is not difficult to support the family. They can have meat once or twice a month, and both families will save some extra money.
Thinking about all the bad things that started after the Chinese New Year this year, Wei Miao sighed in his heart, but his hands did not stop moving at all.
After making the sugar water, she took another bowl, put salt in it and diluted it with water.
"Brother, why do we still need to soak in salt water?" asked her second sister Wei Ling.
She looked at the clean little girl, rubbed her head and said:
"You will know this after you go to school."
Wei Ling rubbed her little head against her brother's palm and said coquettishly:
"Brother, I don't want to go to school. I want to go out and do business like you do, and buy candy for my younger brothers and sisters."
Wei Miao didn't preach to her about all kinds of principles, because this was also the first time for her to experience this.
Like them, she was a human being for the first time, and everything depended on instinct, watching, learning and listening.
The only advantage is that her sea of consciousness is strong, so as long as she is willing to learn and study hard, everything will be easy.
In the world of The Lion King, people hunt for meat, bask in the sun and sleep in. It is extremely comfortable.
Before she strangled the thing called "system", many garbled images flashed across her mind.
She didn't understand why the creatures called "humans" would laugh so hard at people and things that seemed to have nothing to do with them, and why they would be so sad and anxious for others?
She never thinks too much about things she doesn't understand.
After she became a human being, she once again felt that humans were perfect creatures except for their short lifespan.
But now, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Not only did she use up all the money she had saved for a year and a half to buy a few common medicines, but she also owed a huge favor to someone.
With an injury like Wei Ada's, he definitely can't even think about doing hard labor like driving a rickshaw.
In the end, she will have to carry the weight of this family, Wei Miao thought to herself.
"Brother, there is no rice at home." There were only a dozen or so broken rice grains in Wei Ling's rice-washing basin, which looked very desolate.
Wei Miao regained his composure and said:
"Wait a moment. I'll go to Grandma Cui's house to borrow some."
Wei Ling pouted and said unhappily:
"Brother, Grandma Cui always pays more back, why do we have to go to her house?"
Wei Miao did not answer her. After feeling that the temperature of the sugar water and salt water was just right, he poked her puffy cheek and said:
"Bring a bowl, and we'll go to Abba's room."
Wei Miao watched Wei Da drink the sugar water and salt water several times before he finally relaxed.
Just be able to swallow it.
At this time, Xu Ayu's eyes were extremely red and swollen, and his throat was so hoarse that he couldn't utter anything.
Wei Miao looked at Wei Ada who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and whispered to Xu Ayu:
"Mom, go lie down on our bed. Just let Li Mei watch over here."
Wei Li is seven years old and has good hearing. Maybe because her parents are not around, she does not have the childish mentality of Wei Ling and Wei Ping. She always behaves like a little adult and is very well-behaved.
"Big Mom, you go and sleep with your brother. I'm not going anywhere. I'll just sit here and watch over Big Dad."
Wei Li sat obediently on a small stool opposite the bed, but her eyes were fixed on Wei Ada on the bed, as if no movement could escape her eyes.
Xu Ayu wanted to refuse, but in the end he just nodded silently.
She also knew that now was not the time to be stubborn, otherwise she would fall ill again before Ah Da got better.
If that were the case, this family would really fall apart.
