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

When Wei Ada heard Lu Pingsheng's recipe, he hurriedly took the basket and prepared to go out.

"Ala is going to buy groceries."

Xu Ayu saw how he was in a hurry and shouted, "Take your umbrella with you."

Wei Miao handed the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to Wei Ada, "Dad, use this."

He waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Such a fancy umbrella would look good on young people like Mr. Lu and Patrolman Xiao Wu. I'll just use an old umbrella at home to go to the vegetable market."

Looking at Wei Ada's back as he disappeared in the rain carrying the basket of vegetables, Wei Miao waved his little hand in front of Xu Ayu.

"Mom, come back to your senses."

Xu Ayu was caught by her daughter and became crazy. She said in shame and anger: "You are a grown-up girl now, and you are getting less naughty."

Wei Miao looked at Laba who was playing with Wei Dong in the next room, and said to Xu Ayu in a slightly coquettish tone:

"Mom, don't mention this anymore."

Seeing her like this, Xu Ayu's heart softened completely, so there was no reason for him to refuse.

At noon, Wei Ling and others who were at school suddenly came back.

"I smelled the aroma of Eight Treasure Duck in the alley, and after swallowing, I knew it was my mother's cooking." Wei Ling flattered Xu Ayu while washing her hands.

Wei Ran said, "Grandma Cui said that Dad bought a duck this morning."

Wei Ling was angry that her second brother had exposed her, so she threw the water droplets in her hand at his face, and the two of them immediately started a fight.

Wei Ping clapped her freshly washed hands and shouted:

"Erguo, come on."

After a while, seeing that Wei Ling was at a disadvantage, he changed his words:

"Sister Ling, come on."

Wei Li took the dirty water from washing her hands and poured it out under the tree in the yard, then pursed her lips and watched them laughing.

Lu Pingsheng and Wei Miao came out of the study and saw a few kids in school uniforms playing and laughing in the drizzle. They sighed:

“This actually made me a little dazed.”

Wei Miao looked at his narrowed eyes and knew that he was recalling some beautiful memory.

"I'll go to the kitchen to serve the food."

Lu Pingsheng came back to his senses, followed her, rolled up his sleeves and said:

"I'll go as well."

On the Eight Immortals table in the main hall was placed a plate of eight-treasure duck with rich red sauce, stir-fried rice cake with shepherd's purse and shredded pork, green wine and fragrant grass, and a large bowl of shepherd's purse and yellow croaker soup.

It was drizzling outside and the house was steaming hot. Three adults and seven children filled the dining table.

Lu Pingsheng refused to sit at the head, and only squeezed with Wei Miao on the left, holding Wei Dong in his arms.

When there are many people eating, it is lively.

Xu Ayu asked Wei Ran, who was eating duck legs, "Why did we have a holiday after half a day of school today?"

Before Wei Ran could answer, Wei Ling swallowed the fried rice cake in her mouth and answered:

"The teacher said that the teachers in the school should prepare for a demonstration."

After finishing speaking, Wei Ran asked Wei Miao in confusion:

"Brother, why is it called a demonstration? Who are we demonstrating against?"

Wei Miao turned his head and looked at Lu Pingsheng.

Lu Pingsheng was drinking soup with a spoon. He noticed Wei Miao's gaze and found that Xu Ayu and Wei Ada were also looking at him. He then looked at the ignorant and innocent eyes of the children.

He wanted to tell them loudly that this was an anti-Japanese march, a cry to awaken the people, a roar to frighten the Japanese.

But he just exaggeratedly sipped a mouthful of yellow croaker soup and said casually:

"Why do you kids care about the parade? Are you happy not to go to school?"

When Wei Ran and the others heard this, they immediately grinned and wanted to laugh, but when they met Xu Ayu's warning eyes, they quickly lowered their heads to eat.

They are no longer as resistant to going to school as before.

Especially after going to the concession, the kids suddenly became much more sensible, getting up early and going to school actively.

After school, after finishing their housework, they didn't go out to play, but instead pestered Wei Miao to teach them foreign languages.

In Wei Miao's opinion, although they are still clumsy in learning, they know that hard work can make up for lack of talent, which is already very difficult.

Wei Miao naturally accepted everyone who came to him, and Xu Ayu was very happy and showed off in the alley every day.

Even a simple and honest man like Wei Ada, when asked how the braised meat was selling, he replied:

"A Ling and the others got first place in the exam again."

It takes time and space for young cubs to grow. When the granaries are full, they will know etiquette; when they have enough food and clothing, they will know honor and disgrace.

This is a necessary process for a family to grow, and Wei Miao is very pleased.

After the lively meal, the kids divided the work to clean up the mess.

After sweeping the floor, washing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen, he finished quickly and neatly, then took the playful Wei Ping with him into the study room which was converted from the utility room.

Continue to complete everyone's plans.

Lu Pingsheng invited Wei Ada and his wife to Wei Miao's study.

The couple were caught off guard by Lu Pingsheng's solemn greeting.

Wei Miao stood next to Xu Ayu, glaring at the pretentious man.

Lu Pingsheng touched his nose and placed the gold bars he had prepared long ago in front of the couple.

"I am really ashamed. I should have been the one to handle this matter, but my mother is going to have surgery this month and I am the only child. I can only fulfill my filial duty before she gets sick."

Wei Ada and Xu Ayu had complicated expressions on their faces, and they looked away from the sparkling yellow croaker without any hesitation.

The two looked at each other, and Wei Ada said firmly:

"Mr. Lu, you have helped my family a lot, but Ah Miao is only a child under the age of twelve. I, I, really cannot agree to let her go to Peking alone for more than a month."

Xu Ayu quickly took over the conversation, and said in a rather anxious tone:

"Yes, Mr. Lu, Ah Miao has never left home since she was a child, let alone a place as far away as Peking. Things are not peaceful now, and I just want her to be with me..."

No matter what Lu Pingsheng said, the couple said no.

Xu Ayu even said: "Mr. Lu, can you take a look at Ada? I don't want gold, so I'll let Ada run for you for free?"

Seeing that the two men treated money as dirt, Lu Pingsheng looked to Wei Miao for help.

Wei Miao raised his hand and pointed at two fingers. The expression on his face was self-evident. Lu Pingsheng nodded, feeling both amused and helpless.

Wei Miao motioned for him to go out first.

After the study door was closed, Wei Miao said, "Dad, Mom, I want to go."

Xu Ayu immediately covered her mouth and cried, "No, I didn't care what you did in the past, but I don't agree this time!"

Wei Ada hurriedly coaxed Xu Ayu, "Don't cry, don't cry, you have a baby in your belly, you can't be sad."

Xu Ayu spit at him, "The eldest son of your family is going to make a living in other places, and you still care about the ungrown meat in your belly."

Wei Ada looked at Wei Miao for help and said:

"Ah Miao, our family is doing well now. I can earn two or three silver dollars a day by selling braised meat. My brothers and sisters are also sensible and motivated. Can't we just stay together as a family?"

Wei Miao felt warm in her heart when she saw the two people's reactions. She squatted beside Xu Ayu and put her head on her legs.

"Dad, Mom, I've been running around with Big Brother Lu and Little Brother Wu these days, and I've heard some news. We don't have many days of peace left."

Xu Ayu paused while stroking Wei Miao's hand and asked in a lost voice, "Another war?"

Wei Ada's expression also changed, "Is it the Japanese again this time?"
