Chapter 226: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
Lu Pingsheng rolled up his sleeves and went out to fetch water and light a fire, leaving the mummy Wei Miao standing alone in the middle of the living room, looking lonely, pitiful and ridiculous.
"Jingle Bell"
Just at this moment, the phone in the room rang.
Wei Miao, with only his head left, hopped to the phone like a little zombie, and it took the cricket pupa a long time to pull one of his hands out.
"Hello?" Wei Miao held the microphone and spoke.
Hearing the call from his daughter, Wei Ada on the other end of the phone was obviously relieved.
"Ah Miao, Ala is Abba."
Wei Miao also breathed a sigh of relief and said cheerfully:
"Dad, you can make a phone call~"
Wei Ada glanced at Uncle Zeng Bao who was sitting next to him and said a little embarrassedly:
"Mr. Zeng called for my father..."
Wei Ada spoke for a few words and then began to ask about the things in Chrysanthemum.
Wei Miao crossed out the topic briefly and brought the subject back to Xu Ayu.
"Dad, when I'm not around, has the kid been obedient? Have A'ran and A'ling quarreled? Is A'li still crying? Is A'ping still hiding things? Is Weidong still playing in the mud in the alley?"
Wei Ada spent a lot of time just answering the various questions raised by Wei Miao.
He felt bad about the phone bill, so after answering Wei Miao's very boring questions, he decisively hung up the phone.
"Mr. Zeng, thank you so much." After hanging up the phone, Wei Ada looked into Uncle Zeng Bao's smiling eyes and spoke sincerely.
Uncle Zeng Bao waved his hand, "It's just a small favor, A-Miao, are you okay?"
Speaking of this, Wei Ada's face turned red. He went to the market to buy vegetables in the morning and unexpectedly met his old neighbor Aunt Xiu.
She now works as a maid in a western-style building opposite, so when old neighbors meet, they naturally have something to talk about.
After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Aunt A Xiu told him mysteriously that something happened in the alley where they used to live and many people were arrested.
He wanted to ask more carefully, but Aunt Xiu couldn't explain it clearly, so she just said vaguely:
"I heard they went to arrest someone in the middle of the night. There were several gunshots and someone was killed. There was blood everywhere in the alley..."
He was so distracted that he ran home without even buying any food.
I happened to meet Uncle Zeng Bao who was about to go out at the door, so I asked him to help call Lu Pingsheng.
Uncle Zeng Bao had already learned that Wei Miao had been released and returned home, so he went out to look for them.
Hearing Wei Ada's request, he naturally helped to make the call.
After hanging up the phone, Wei Ada, who was still a little shocked, said slowly:
"If you're still worried, I happen to be going to look for Mr. Lu. Do you want me to bring something for Ah Miao?"
When Wei Ada heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. "Wait a moment." Then he went into the bedroom.
After a while, the vigorous voice of Xu Ayu, who was in confinement after giving birth, was heard.
"Bring two jars of osmanthus sauce for Ah Miao, and the fermented glutinous rice wine eggs I made earlier, and don't forget the shrimp paste..."
Wei Ada agreed repeatedly.
"The weather was cold, and when she left, she only wore a coat, thin cotton clothes, and a hat..."
Wei Ada reminded the mistress who was breastfeeding her child, "A Miao has only been away from home for two days..."
Xu Ayu said unhappily: "I've been away from home for two days and I haven't eaten or dressed..."
Uncle Zeng Bao sat upright on a small chair, listening to the chatter of the couple in the room.
When he turned his head, he could see a civet cat lying and sleeping on the osmanthus tree. Its tail was hanging in the air, swaying leisurely, and it looked very comfortable and relaxed.
Xiao Qian said that the cats in the Wei family are different from humans. They are like dragons that are hard to find from head to tail, and they are very arrogant.
Wei Ada stood in front of Uncle Zeng Bao, carrying two large packages, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"Mr. Zeng, why don't we go there..."
Uncle Zeng Bao waved his hand, "It's just something I can do, but Sister-in-law Ayu can't do without someone."
Wei A'da would not let Uncle Zeng Bao carry the two big bags. Instead, he carried the bags out of the alley, put the things in the car and expressed his gratitude to Uncle Zeng Bao again.
Only after the car slowly drove away did he rub his hands and turn back home.
After Wei Miao was washed, he was a little kid with red lips and white teeth again.
Wearing the fashionable clothes and leather shoes newly bought by Brother Cai, he followed Lu Pingsheng like a little tail.
When Lu Pingsheng went to the study, she followed him, and when he went upstairs, he followed him and when he made coffee.
Without saying a word, she looked at Lu Pingsheng with her dark and bright eyes full of longing.
His eyes were filled with: "Where's the gold?"
But Lu Pingsheng pretended not to know and was busy walking the kid. Now he stood at the door of the toilet and turned to glare at Wei Miao:
"We have to poop together?"
Wei Miao covered his nose and said disdainfully: "Give me what you promised before you take a shit."
Lu Pingsheng played dumb and teased her, "What is that?"
Wei Miao's face was full of disbelief, with shock, grievance and confusion in her eyes, as if she would burst into tears on the spot if Lu Pingsheng said one more word.
After this, Wei Miao has deeply realized what Xu Ayu always said in the past:
What does "The crying child gets the milk" mean?
Seeing her looking like a pitiful creature again, Lu Pingsheng had no choice but to compromise:
"Okay, okay, I'll give you the golden gold after Brother Lu finishes taking a shit."
Wei Miao felt that Brother Lu had no accent at all and spoke in a vulgar manner, but he pulled at the corner of his clothes and refused to let go, saying stubbornly:
"Put your shit on me first."
Lu Pingsheng took a deep breath and found it too smelly. He exhaled several times before he felt the nausea eased.
He took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Wei Miao, saying to him unhappily:
"In the room next to the study."
Wei Miao took the key and immediately smiled happily, "Got it, Brother Lu, have a nice poop."
Lu Pingsheng looked at his appearance and lectured him with a stern face:
"After the Chinese New Year, you will be thirteen years old. You are a real man. Don't do such shy things in the future, or you will give people goose bumps..."
Wei Miao got the key, nodded and agreed to whatever he said, then turned around and jumped to collect his reward.
Seeing the kid jumping around like crazy, Lu Pingsheng pressed down the corners of his mouth and reminded himself:
It's time to give Ah Miao some strength training, and let her see the bloodiness of men in this era.
It would be bad if I became as sickly as Uncle Zeng Bao.
Facts have proven that people don't like to be talked about.
He had just come out of the toilet, still holding a towel for wiping his hands, when he saw the back of a tall and handsome man standing in the yard.
Uncle Zeng Bao was wearing a gray coat and a black scarf around his neck. He was standing under the osmanthus tree in the yard, looking at something.
"Brother Zeng?"
Lu Pingsheng spoke.
Zeng Baoyi turned his head and gave Lu Pingsheng a faint smile, "I'll come and see Ah Miao."
Lu Pingsheng spread his hands, "Then you have to wait, this kid is probably sleeping soundly."
"Ah Miao hasn't eaten yet, how can I sleep?"
