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

In a private house in Yanqing Lane, Old Feng, with his back hunched, opened the door with some difficulty.

After closing the door, he carefully looked at the things he had placed before going out and found that they were all in their original state, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He took off his dog-skin hat and looked around the room, which he could see the end of. The closed windows were exactly the same as when he left.

He hunched over to the table and sat down.

He put his hands to his mouth and blew on them to warm them up, then poured himself a cup of herbal tea.

His mind began to review the various things that had happened during this period.

After all the details were correct, the two faces of Wei Miao and Lu Pingsheng appeared in my mind.

I couldn't help but think of that thrilling afternoon.

He was at home with a high fever and vaguely heard a cat's meow. He opened the door and found nothing inside. He looked down and saw a note.

He looked around, picked it up quickly, and looked at the bloody words on it with fear in his heart.

As an important member of the entire Shen City underground organization, he knew too well the importance of this note.

He was glad that he had asked for leave and did not go to school today, and even more glad that someone had left a note in front of his door.

When he was about to reminisce, there was a knock on the door. His face changed and he reached under the table and took out a pistol.

----------

It is the spring equinox, but the weather is still cold and chilly, with no sign of warming up.

Wei Miao is about to celebrate his 11th birthday, and life at home has changed dramatically compared to last year.

Since the Chinese New Year, Xu Ayu and Wei Ada seemed to have agreed to take turns to tease Wei Miao.

"Ah Miao, it's your birthday. How about we treat the neighbors to a feast and then make it public?"

When Xu Ayu saw the dimples on his daughter's face when she pursed her lips to think about something, his heart softened.

Wei Miao closed the book, felt the tenderness of the old lady for a moment, and asked:

"Mom, I heard that my aunt is pregnant again?"

Uncle Xu and his family now rent a medium-sized courtyard in the alley where Dr. Ding's clinic is located.

He can earn thirteen or fourteen yuan a month, plus the twenty yuan that Sister Lan gives to the family every month.

With more than thirty dollars a month, excluding rent and living expenses, life has changed dramatically.

Sister Gui and Xuanyu have become more sensible and don't need to worry even if their aunt is pregnant.

Xu Ayu knew that she was trying to change the subject, so he just took over the conversation.

"Yes, Doctor Ding said that she is not in good health and needs to be taken good care of."

Wei Miao stared at Xu Ayu's belly and said with a smile:

"Mom, you are five years younger than aunt. When will you give birth to a little brother for us?"

Xu Ayu was embarrassed and annoyed. He pinched her cheeks and knocked her head. He turned away with a red face.

Wei Miao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her fleeing from behind.

The next day was Uncle Xu's birthday. My aunt was pregnant and had a hard time, and her family had been having a lot of happy events during that time, so the two families wanted to have a get-together.

Xu Ayu volunteered to cook, and many fish came early in the morning and took everyone home.

Wei Miao went away and came back to find an important seasoning for Xu Ayu.

Lu Pingsheng was wearing a thick coat and a gray scarf, still dressed in British style, elegant and dignified. He came to the door carrying a box of high-end snacks from Lao Dachang as gifts.

"Ah Miao, it's been a year and I haven't seen you for a few months. How come you've grown taller?"

Wei Miao watched him walk in leisurely, put down the things in his hands, bent down, fetched water from the stove next to him and poured him some hot tea.

In the curling white mist, Lu Pingsheng said:

"When I was in the alley, I heard that your family had gone to the alley next door, and I thought I would be disappointed."

After Lu Pingsheng finished speaking, he picked up the teacup, blew on it, took a sip of the hot tea, and sighed.

"The tea poured by Ah Miao is still the most fragrant."

Wei Miao saw that he was smiling and in a good mood, so he asked curiously, "Are you doing something stupid to deceive the foreigners again?"

"Xiahuo" is the jargon in the antique world, which means fake.

Lu Pingsheng put down his teacup and said disapprovingly:

"Am I that kind of person? All the stuff I sell is 'Dakaimen' stuff, but the time period is just pushed back hundreds or thousands of years."

"Open the door" means that you can tell it's the real thing at first glance.

The two chatted for a few more words about the antiques, and Xuanyu and Wei Ling ran into the house panting.

Many fish blushed and said:

"Ah Miao, I thought you couldn't find anything and disappeared for a long time. It turns out that Mr. Lu is here."

Wei Ling looked at Lu Pingsheng, her eyes flickered, and then said:

"Brother, where are the things?"

Wei Miao handed them the seasoning that Xu Ayu had requested and said, "Go ahead and tell Auntie that Mr. Lu is here. I won't be there for the time being."

Seeing the two laughing and holding hands and running out the door, Lu Pingsheng said:

"That red-faced girl, is she the Duoyu that little G mentioned?"

Wei Miao raised his eyes and warned him, "She is playful, has a bad temper, and is straightforward. Don't set your sights on her."

Lu Pingsheng touched his nose and lamented, "How could I be so unbearable in Ah Miao's heart?"

Wei Miao tilted his head and stared at him, "What else?"

Lu Pingsheng put away his smile and got down to business.

"Since sulfa has been out of stock, it has been sold at sky-high prices both on the black market and in the open market. Now everyone is asking for it."

Wei Miao put his hands on the stove to warm them and asked, "Is it confirmed when the cargo ship will arrive at the port?"

Lu Pingsheng frowned and sighed, "The cold wave has not subsided yet, and there are almost no ships from Europe and the United States in the port. In addition, there are a lot of messes, so it is more than two months later than expected."

The two were silent for a while, and Lu Pingsheng asked her, "A Miao, do you know penicillin?"

Wei Miao nodded. "It was mentioned in the book you gave me. It was discovered in 28, but it could not be purified or mass-produced, so it was shelved."

Lu Pingsheng's eyes sparkled, he looked at Wei Miao earnestly and asked:

"Do you have any idea?"

Wei Miao was surprised by his question and asked back:

"Why do you ask that?"

Looking at the half-grown child in front of him, Lu Pingsheng also felt that he was a little crazy because of the impending war.

As time passed, his fear and helplessness grew day by day.

He did everything he could, but still couldn't change anything that happened.

"A Miao, when you arrive in Hong Kong this time, can you sell me all the sulfa drugs in your hand? I won't take advantage of you. I will give you the same price as outside. If there is a premium in the future, I will compensate you." Lu Pingsheng said.

Wei Miao thought about the money he was going to pay, which was not a large amount, so he agreed readily.

Whenever Lu Pingsheng was happy, he would want to touch Wei Miao, such as poking her dimples or rubbing her hair.

Wei Miao was wearing clothes for going out, and Xu Ayu wrapped her in layer after layer, so she was not as flexible as before.

He actually pinched the dimpled cheek and pulled it.

"What are you doing?"

Sister Xu Lan, who had been standing at the door for some time, looked pale.

Wei Miao took the opportunity to wave his hand to fend off Lu Pingsheng's clutches, and with the red marks on his face, he looked up and smiled at Sister Xu Lan:

"Sister Lan, why are you here?"

Sister Xu Lan seemed to feel that she had lost her composure a bit, and she tucked the hair behind her ears helplessly, and said softly:

"I heard that Mr. Lu was also here, so my aunt said that we should invite Mr. Lu over to have dinner together."

Lu Pingsheng's expression did not change, and he greeted:

"It's only been half a year since I last saw you, and Sister Lan has grown so tall."

Sister Xu Lan’s cheeks flushed.

Seeing this, Wei Miao took the kettle and went out to add water to give the girl some time.

She doesn't interfere in these matters.

Sister Xu Lan’s love for Lu Pingsheng is pure and clean. Maybe some people will only have this love once in their entire life.
