Chapter 202: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
When Wei Miao heard the laughter, he instantly became angry and turned around to glare at the people who were watching the show.
Lu Pingsheng touched his nose, congratulated the somewhat weak Xu Ayu, bent down, picked up the empty boxes on the ground, and pushed them under the bed.
Then he gave Wei Miao a look that said "handle it yourself" and walked out.
Xu Ayu saw that Wu Ma's eyes were red as she served food, and he felt that everyone was acting weird.
The only normal person, Doctor Xue Li, was holding a pen and writing something in a small notebook. From time to time, she asked the old monk a sentence or two that she did not understand.
Xu Ayu carefully stuffed the yellow croaker in his hand under his pillow and wanted to ask Wei Miao what was going on.
When she turned her head, she found that Wei Miao had tilted his head and fell asleep with his little face resting on her palm.
The sunlight shining on her face, which was so white that blue veins were visible, made people feel soft-hearted.
Xu Ayu didn't want to pull her hand away, so Wu Ma fed her mouthful by mouthful.
"Madam, take a nap after you finish eating. It is most important to keep your body well-rested."
Xu Ayu was not pretentious and finished all the rice wine, eggs and chicken soup. He felt warm and full of strength in his body.
She was secretly glad that she listened to her daughter and invited Aunt Wu and her husband to come home to take good care of her inside and outside, which was why she recovered so quickly after giving birth.
She saw her sister-in-law giving birth with her own eyes, and it was like walking through the gates of hell. . .
Xu Ayu rubbed Wei Miao's furry head with his other hand and fell asleep with all sorts of thoughts in his mind.
When Wei Miao woke up, Ali was squatting at the head of her bed, licking his paws, staring at her with his glass-like eyes.
If it wasn't her, she would have been frightened by the cat's eyes.
"Long time no see. Aren't you helping me look after the house in Chrysanthemum?"
"Meow~"
Ali rubbed Wei Miao's cheek, making a purring sound.
Just as Wei Miao was about to touch its belly, Ali jumped off the bed, and after a while, he came to Wei Miao's pillow with something in his mouth.
Wei Miao turned his head and saw Ali smearing the stuff in his mouth on the side of Wei Miao's face and pushing it with his little paw.
Wei Miao reached out and picked up the enamel pocket watch in his hand. After opening the cover, he found that the pointers and mechanical dial inside were made of gold.
Wei Miao stood up and pulled Ali over, "Ali, where did this thing come from?"
Ahri: “Meow~”
Wei Miao had some knowledge of antiques, and he learned more from Lu Pingsheng, an antique dealer.
This pocket watch contains at most a dozen grams of gold, but its value is thousands of times that of gold. Such an exquisite item can be seen to have come from the palace.
"Wow wow~"
The loud crying of a baby interrupted Wei Miao's thoughts, and she put the pocket watch in the box where she kept her things.
When she was about to carry Ali out, she saw the little guy sleeping soundly on the spot where she had just lain.
Wei Miao curled the corners of his mouth and stood up to close the door.
I came out to ask and saw Aunt Wu serving dishes to the table: braised catfish, Chinese cabbage, double-wrapped duck slices, braised yam with candied dates... There were a lot of dishes on the table.
When Aunt Wu saw Wei Miao’s rosy cheeks, a smile broke out on her dull face.
"Your mom said you should sleep for at least a day and a night. I thought she was just bragging, but you actually slept for a whole day and a night."
Wei Miao was shy, "Auntie Wu, why is the food so delicious today?"
"Of course it's because someone wants to eat for free!"
Lu Pingsheng, with Weidong, who looked excited, on his neck and Laba, who looked eager, beside him, stood at the door with a smug look on his face.
Wei Miao saw Lu Pingsheng and suddenly remembered that he seemed to be exposed in front of this man. . .
Suddenly his expression became embarrassed.
Thinking about the fact that I had swallowed up a total of ten boxes of gold, my good mood automatically diminished.
"Why, you little brat, don't you want to welcome the sponsor to have a meal?"
Wei Miao forced a smile, "Brother Lu, you are not humorous at all."
Lu Pingsheng put Wei Dong down and handed him to Laba, then walked to Wei Miao, glanced at the little girl, and found that her cheeks were rosy and her eyes were clear and bright, and he felt relieved.
It was worth it that he didn't even go home and stayed at Wei's house for a day and a night.
Wei Miao's stomach was rumbling, but he was still thinking about Xu Ayu and the little boy, so he went to the room to see the children.
Wei Ada just came out and stopped Wei Miao with a smile:
"Nong's mother just finished feeding, and the big and small ones are all asleep. You guys should eat first."
Wei Li and the others went to school, and Wu Ma and the others insisted on not sitting at the table. Wei Miao looked at the empty table and suggested:
"Dad, let's ask Xiao Qian to come over for dinner."
Wei Ada also likes the lively Xiao Qian. He always feels that if A Miao grows up to be a girl, she will be as bold and lively as Xiao Qian.
The two brothers Zeng Baoshu and Zeng Baoyi also came with Xiao Qian.
This is a bit scary.
In particular, the usually gentle Uncle Zeng Bao had a tense expression, while the dandy Zeng Baoyi was smiling.
He bowed to Lu Pingsheng and said:
"I heard that Brother Lu was also here, so I shamelessly came to have a meal."
Xiao Qian curled his lips. The Fourth Master became more and more shameless. He suddenly came to the door early in the morning and made the good-tempered young master so angry that he smashed the teacup.
I wanted to kick him out, but he insisted on coming to eat, saying that he and Mr. Lu were close friends. . .
When Lu Pingsheng saw Zeng Baoyi standing up, he also bowed and said, "You are not worthy of this. This is our former neighbor's house. I am just a freeloader."
Zeng Baoyi didn't listen at all. Instead, he sat down carelessly, looking at the ordinary dishes on the table. Suddenly, he felt a little hungry.
After all, he was so excited about today that he didn't sleep all night and even came here without having breakfast.
God knows how happy and relieved he was when he deliberately poured tea on the Sanxitie in front of Laojiu and saw the grinning expression on the boy's masked face that never changed for thousands of years.
Uncle Zeng Bao looked at the shapeless person in front of him and could not connect it with what his father said: "Your fourth brother is a wise man who appears foolish."
Being wise but appearing foolish is just a nice name for a good-for-nothing.
No matter how indifferent he was, he could not understand why his father did not agree to his request and insisted on handing over the family business to a useless person, making him work so hard in secret.
The good-for-nothing Zeng Baoyi had already sat next to Lu Pingsheng and started to get close to him.
"I heard that you still have an authentic work of Mr. Wang Xizhi. I am willing to spend a lot of money to buy it."
Before Lu Pingsheng could speak, Wei Miao asked, "How much gold is it?"
Zeng Baoyi looked up at the child who interrupted him, as if he had seen him before, both when he was betting on horses and that day in the dance hall.
He put away his thoughts and said, "As long as it's available, no matter how much it is, it's fine, especially the Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion. I'll give you as much as you want."
Wei Miao lowered his eyes and suppressed the cunning in his eyes.
She had just roughly calculated that the gold she swallowed in front of Lu Pingsheng on the day Xu Ayu gave birth was almost most of her food.
Things are unpredictable nowadays, she has to make some extra food.
Who knows if the so-called heaven in this world will give her another blow or two...
