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

Lu Pingsheng looked at the little boy who followed Xu Ayu like a tail and raised his eyebrows at Wei Miao.

"I picked it up at the intersection when I came back from the hospital that day." After Wei Miao finished speaking, the two of them walked towards the study room in tacit understanding.

When I passed by the side room, I heard three children chattering in French.

Although it is a little bit raw, I can understand its meaning.

"You are really good, you are worthy of my attention."

The two entered the study and closed the door. Lu Pingsheng looked around and was shocked to find that most of the books were placed upside down.

He knew that Wei Miao had a habit of putting the books he had finished reading upside down to avoid confusion.

"Have you finished reading all the books I brought last time?"

Wei Miao sat at the desk by the window, flipping through the book in his hand, and said honestly:

"not yet."

Hearing this answer, Lu Pingsheng wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and said, "I knew that even a genius has to have a limit."

Wei Miao pointed to the thick stack of books on the desk and said:

"I felt that many things in it were ridiculous or wrong, but I didn't know what was wrong with it or why it was ridiculous, so I didn't read it."

Lu Pingsheng looked at more than ten thick books and it took him a while to laugh. He habitually wanted to hug Wei Miao, but she dodged him flexibly.

"Ah Miao, men don't lie to men. Tell me honestly, are you a Super Saiyan from thousands of years ago?"

Wei Miao frowned and thought for a while, then said seriously: "I am not."

Seeing her serious look as a little adult, Lu Pingsheng suppressed his smile and said, "Okay, I understand."

Wei Miao asked him, "Did you get the dye?"

Lu Pingsheng's eyebrows relaxed and he smiled happily:

"I came here to talk about this matter. I bought a large dyeing factory and have already placed an order. The dyes will be delivered to Shen City after the new year."

Wei Miao nodded. She thought to herself that when the dye arrived, she would see if she could study and mix it herself.

She thought so and said so.

Lu Pingsheng grabbed her hand and said excitedly: "Ah Miao, is it true?"

"But first I must see the original dye from which the sulfanilamide is extracted."

Lu Pingsheng clenched his fists tightly. At this moment, he was extremely glad that he did not underestimate this little brat Wei Miao.

He did not take the gold bars for granted like White Rose and the others did.

"By the way, it's the Brother Cai you introduced. His appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and he wants more and more goods." Lu Pingsheng mentioned casually.

Wei Miao didn't know much about the dealings between the gangs, but Xu Ayu's stall had always been taken care of by Brother Cai, so she finally said:

"If the price is the same and it's not difficult, give him priority."

Lu Pingsheng shrugged indifferently and said:

"There's no stock in the warehouse. I went to Dr. Ding's house before I came here. He called Bai Meigui and told her that we'll have dinner at Ziyang's house. We need to discuss what to do next."

Wei Miao thought for a moment, picked up a pen and drew a pattern on the paper, then handed it to Lu Pingsheng, "Do you recognize this?"

Lu Pingsheng looked at the cherry blossom pattern and frowned, "What is this?"

"The scarf around little Wu's neck was knitted by Li Xiaoya."

Lu Pingsheng came here several times and went to Wu Ziyang's house many times, but he had never met Li Xiaoya once.

All he knew about Li Xiaoya was what Wu Ziyang said and the few words Wei Miao mentioned casually.

After listening to the summary of Li Xiaoya's basic information, he was very concerned about one thing:

Studied in Japan.

But then I thought again, I felt that I was afraid of everything. Mr. Sun and many others had studied abroad in Japan. Are these people all bad people?

"Have you seen this?"

Wei Miao painted a plum blossom next to the cherry blossom pattern.

Lu Pingsheng's gaze fell on the plum blossoms for a long time. Various images flashed through his mind, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.

"Have you seen this place at Li Xiaoya's place?"

Apart from his family, the only person in this world that Wei Miao could trust was probably Lu Pingsheng.

Or rather, Wei Miao believed in his own judgment.

It is extremely difficult for a person whose faith is pure to the extreme to have any moral flaws.

But Wei Miao still did not tell Lu Pingsheng about the bronze medal obtained from Dong Ergou and Li Xiaoya.

Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Lu Pingsheng didn't force her, and said in a serious tone:

"I'll remember this. If I see you again, I'll tell you quietly. Don't draw this picture for other people in the future."

After saying this, he took out a lighter from his pocket, lit the paper with the pattern on it, put it in the pen wash next to him, and after the paper was burned out, he used his hands to stir it into ashes.

Concentration and rigor form a sharp contrast with superficial casualness.

Wei Miao watched his series of actions intently, and the image of Lu Pingsheng in his mind became more three-dimensional.

"Ah Miao, come out to eat."

Xu Ayu's voice suddenly sounded outside.

After the two came out, Xu Ayu looked at Lu Pingsheng and Wei Miao as if nothing had happened.

Lu Pingsheng touched his nose and nudged Wei Miao with his arm, "Nong's mother looked at me in a strange way, as if she was on guard against wolves."

Wei Miao looked at his confused face and said with a smile:

"Maybe you think you will lead me astray."

Lu Pingsheng straightened his clothes, turned his head to look at his hairstyle through the window glass, and then went into the kitchen.

After a while, Xu Ayu's giggling laughter was heard from the kitchen.

"Mr. Lu, you are so stylish. This stir-fried lotus root slices may look simple, but there are a lot of details involved..."

Wei Ling came out of the kitchen and saw her eldest brother with a smile on his face. He ran to her and stuffed a meatball into her mouth.

"Brother, Mr. Lu is really good at coaxing people. Even a difficult person like my mother can be coaxed into smiling with just a few words from him."

The two men put their hands in their sleeves and sat under the eaves to bask in the sun. On the other side of the high wall, the magnolia tree in the next yard was left with only dead branches swaying in the cold wind.

"Brother, last time Sister Lan gave me a piece of candy, she secretly told me that if Mr. Lu comes again, she should let me remember what he said..."

Wei Ling hesitated for a long time, but finally told Wei Miao about this matter.

She instinctively felt that what Sister Lan did was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong.

So she was troubled for several days and couldn't sleep well at night. She had originally forgotten about it, but when Mr. Lu suddenly came to her house, she remembered it.

Wei Miao leaned his head on the small chair, chewing the meatballs with a strong meaty flavor, and said vaguely with his squinting eyes without opening them:

"Then tell her."

Wei Ling bit her lip and said, "Brother, does Sister Lan like Mr. Lu?"

Wei Miao did not answer. How would she know what love was?

Fortunately, Wei Ling was not the kind of person who would get tangled up in thoughts. She laughed and said:

"Anyway, Sister Lan is at work and has to go back to Suzhou River during her breaks. When she comes looking for me, I'll say it's been too long and she forgot!"

Wei Miao saw that she looked like a clever little girl, so he reached out and pulled her pigtails.

"Brother, you are also imitating the bad boy in the alley!"

Wei Ling protected her braids and glared at Wei Miao in dissatisfaction, but when she shook her head, the two little braids on top of her head swung back and forth, which was very cute.
