Chapter 61: Busy raising a family in a foreign land 61
Aunt Xu's exclamation made the room quiet for a moment, and the little ones all looked over with puffed cheeks.
Sister Xu Lan lowered her head to eat and bit her lips lightly, feeling something strange in her heart.
Wei Ada glared at Xu Ayu and quickly added:
"Most of it has to be given to the car dealer as a share of the money. It's good if I can keep 12 or 13 dollars. Add in the cost of repairing the car and other miscellaneous expenses, and it's enough to make ends meet."
Uncle Xu's expression returned to normal, and he sighed with envy:
"That's quite a lot."
Indeed, they make a living on Suzhou River and depend on the weather for their food, and rowing a boat is no easier than pulling a rickshaw.
But no monthly income exceeds ten oceans.
Xu Ayu has always been a stickler for what she says. In addition, she has made a lot of money from selling braised meat recently, so she is very confident. She put down her chopsticks and asked:
"So, big brother, whether you want to drive or not, you can take the rickshaw in the yard. I'll make the decision and charge 10% less than the rickshaw dealership."
Wei Ada looked at his wife in surprise. This was different from what they had discussed before.
At that time, the landlady said in a domineering manner: Only 30% will be charged.
Before dinner, I saw the brother and sister chatting in front of the rickshaw for a while, and I thought they had already reached an agreement.
Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu raised the rice wine in their hands and said respectfully to Wei Ada:
"Brother-in-law, thank you for your generosity and help. Our family will remember it in our hearts."
Wei Ada looked at the two people's grateful expressions, and the last bit of depression in his heart dissipated.
Aunt Xu likes to cry when she is happy or sad. When she saw that her brother-in-law had no objection, she wiped her tears and said:
"This winter is very cold. There is thin ice on Suzhou River every night. We can't make much money on the boat. At least Sister Lan has a salary, but the father's health cannot stay in the cold."
Xu Ayu asked repeatedly, "Have you seen a doctor?"
"It's an old problem. It will go away if you bear with it." Uncle Xu rolled his eyes at Aunt Xu who was hesitant to speak.
"It's a happy day, why are you crying?"
Wei Ada was in a good mood and tried to smooth things over by saying, "This is called crying with joy! Big brother and big sister-in-law's life will get better and better."
Uncle Xu also put down his chopsticks and said:
"This winter is tough. A few days ago we thought about selling the boat and making a living on land. Otherwise, I'm afraid my whole family would freeze to death on the boat."
Every winter, many boat people freeze to death on the Suzhou River. This year, the number is likely to be several times more than in previous years.
Wei Miao didn’t pay attention to what happened next. She quickly finished her meal and went into her bedroom.
After locking the door, she took out the bronze medal that Ali brought back and began to ponder it.
Dong Ergou had a piece, which was placed alone with the yellow croaker. It was obviously very precious.
Li Xiaoya also has one, which she carries with her when she goes out. She would be devastated if she lost it, but it is also an extremely important thing.
Wei Miao held two identical objects in his hands and pondered for a long time, but couldn't figure out what they were, so he put them back.
Ali was eating the fish pieces that Wei Miao secretly saved for her, and she was very happy.
"Boom boom boom!"
Wei Miao got up and opened the door, and was slightly surprised to see Sister Xu Lan standing at the door.
"Sister Lan." Wei Miao called out.
Sister Xu Lan looked at Ali who was eating heartily and smiled at Wei Miao in a narrow-minded manner.
"But you must not tell my mother. She has a lot of opinions about Ali. If she knew that I was cheating on Ali, she would definitely not let me off."
Sister Xu Lan has been working in the coffee shop for more than a month. She is no longer as shy as before and smiled generously:
"Then you must tell me the truth about what I want to ask you."
Although he knew that Sister Xu Lan would not complain, Wei Miao still nodded deliberately in cooperation, making the girl giggle out loud.
The two laughed for a while, and Sister Xu Lan's cheeks suddenly turned red.
Wei Miao was puzzled, but still waited quietly for her to ask questions.
"Ah Miao, I heard from my aunt that Mr. Lu is good friends with you? Was he the one who sent you to the hospital today?"
Wei Miao looked at Sister Xu Lan calmly, and suddenly remembered the girls who came to see Wu Ziyang.
Most of them are the behavior of young girls.
"Well, after he sent us to the hospital, he sent Miss Xu and her family back home."
When Sister Xu Lan heard Xu Manhua, her face suddenly turned pale, she bit her lip and asked:
"She's really pregnant and can't be a mother?"
Apparently Xu Ayu had just called Aunt Xu and Sister Lan into the room and specifically told them what happened today.
Wei Miao nodded.
Sister Xu Lan stood there, twisting her hands, looking a little at a loss.
She murmured, "Miss Xu went to college, came from a wealthy family, was pretty and kind, and was pregnant with Patrolman Xiao Wu's child. Why was she abandoned?"
How would Wei Miao know?
"I heard from my aunt that Mr. Lu's beloved got married. Is he very sad?"
Sister Xu Lan hesitated for a while, but finally spoke her mind.
Wei Miao finally understood her thoughts, but she could only pretend to be ignorant:
"I don't understand adults' affairs. Mr. Lu looks kind, but he is proud in his heart. How could he tell us the truth..."
"No! Mr. Lu is really nice..."
Sister Xu Lan interrupted Wei Miao hastily, but later realized that she was too excited, so she stamped her feet and turned away.
Wei Miao looked at the girl's receding back. He no longer felt the nervousness he had just felt, but seemed to have become more determined.
She rubbed her forehead helplessly.
In the afternoon, not long after Uncle Xu and his family left, I heard Wei Ling shouting in the side room:
"Mom, brother, he's awake."
Xu Ayu entered the side room earlier than Wei Miao. When Wei Miao went over, Xu Ayu had already put his hand on the child's forehead.
Tell Wei Ling to get some water, Wei Ran to get a towel, and Wei Li to add coal slag to the charcoal basin. . .
In the blink of an eye, she had a room full of people running around in circles.
After Wei Miao poured the sugar water and salt water that he had prepared long ago into the child's stomach, the kid licked his cracked lips. There was no fear or panic in his eyes. Instead, he looked at them with vigilance.
Xu Ayu looked at him with a beast-like look and said to the few children who were watching the fun:
"Everyone, get out and don't scare anyone!"
Wei Ling and the others pouted and walked out, "He cursed at Big Brother when he was saving people, and now he curses at us again."
"You're the one who talks too much." Xu Ayu spat at her.
Wei Ling was so scared that she ran away, and Wei Li and others followed her out.
After a while, their chattering sounds were heard in the yard.
Only Wei Ada, Xu Ayu and Wei Miao were left in the room. Xu Ayu asked softly:
"Little boy, where are you from?"
The child rolled his dark eyes, his whole body in a state of tense alert.
"Little boy, are you hungry? Do you want to drink some rice porridge?" Wei Ada asked.
When the cub heard about food, the features on his skinny little face twisted and he swallowed saliva frantically. Because he was too thin, his bulging big eyes flickered with desire for food.
"What's your name?" Wei Ada continued to ask, holding a bowl of sugar water in his hand.
The kid stared at the bowl in Wei Ada's hand.
"Dad, be careful."
Before Wei Miao could finish his words, the kid suddenly jumped up, snatched the bowl from Wei Ada's hand and fed it to him.
Because of his sudden movement, the sugar water spilled everywhere. After he drank the sugar water in a hurry, he lowered his head to lick the spilled water on his hands. He was reluctant to waste it at all.
The couple saw that he looked like a wild dog, and they looked at each other, and saw pity in each other's eyes.
