Chapter 127: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
In the darkness, there was a meow, followed by a man's scream.
Wei Miao, who was standing by the door, watched a figure crawling away, cursing.
At the dark courtyard gate, the only sound could be heard: a woman's heavy breathing. When the wind blew, the smell of blood drifted towards Wei Miao's nostrils.
Wei Miao placed the food in his hand beside the dazed Aunt Yan, turned around and left without saying a word.
"Thank you, Miao. Thank you, Mom, for me too."
As the door creaked shut, the woman's hoarse voice rang out.
Wei Miao didn't look back and walked straight towards Lu Pingsheng's house.
The door was quickly opened. After Wei Miao entered, he stood in the yard and asked:
"Who is Master Dong?"
Lu Pingsheng, who was wearing pajamas, raised his eyebrows, "What happened?"
Wei Miao looked at Lu Pingsheng. Some of the dim light in the room behind him shone on him, leaving a faint golden outline.
"Brother Lu, Master Dongxian can actually speak Japanese."
It was rare for Wei Miao to not beat around the bush. She had always trusted Lu Pingsheng.
"He's just a clown, don't bother with him." Lu Pingsheng said.
Wei Miao said "Oh", it seems that Lu Pingsheng had already known that there was something wrong with this useless man Master Dong.
In that case, she won't get involved.
Wei Miao yawned and turned to go home.
Wei Miao was lying on the bed, planning in his mind that once this happened, he would persuade his father and mother to move.
Thinking of this, Wei Miao stood up, moved the gap, and took out his own little treasure house.
Looking at the brass key inside, she had an idea.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and everyone in the alley seemed extremely restless.
Although the illness was cured, the family was almost out of food.
After Xiao Jiangsu learned from Wei Miao that no one was sick, he discussed it with Grandma Cui and set up the stall to open for business.
Lu Pingsheng generously invested two bags of flour and countless eggs in each of them.
Xu Ayu instructed Wei Ada to clean up the old mill at home, grind it to make tofu and dried bean curd.
I also packed up the potatoes, radishes, lotus roots and kelp that I had stockpiled and started selling braised dishes.
Just like that, the alley blocked by the wall became lively and full of the atmosphere of life, which surprised the patrolmen guarding outside.
Grandma Cui and Little Jiangsu both invited Wei Miao and Lu Pingsheng to have breakfast.
Finally, Wei Miao was very happy as he had the scallion pancake and drank the wonton soup.
Mrs. Dong twisted her waist and walked towards the wonton stall of Xiao Jiang Su's family, saying in a cheerful voice:
"Give Allah a bowl of wontons."
The person next to her who was also eating wontons asked her, "Mrs. Dong, why didn't you see Master Dong come out?"
Mrs. Dong rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Why, do you want a haircut?"
The man touched his hair and said with a wry smile:
"I don't know what's going on these days. How can I afford a haircut?"
One sentence made everyone feel a little more worried.
"I don't know whose wild cat it was, it ran into the house and scratched him."
Others smiled ambiguously, "Is it a delicate wild cat?"
Mrs. Dong snorted, glanced at Wei Miao, and walked into the barber shop with the wontons in her hand. She felt itchy when she saw him.
Wei Miao took a bite of the scallion pancake without changing his expression.
As expected, Grandma Cui remembered what she said and fried both sides until they were golden and crispy, with a strong onion aroma.
In comparison, Xu Ayu's braised dishes are not that popular.
Although the current situation is special, Xu A Yu has not raised the price, but the dishes that can be bought for a few cents outside will double in price after being braised, so people who know how to make a living in the alley still won't buy more.
But we can't resist big customers like Lu Pingsheng.
Lu Pingsheng looked at Wei Miao eating the braised lotus root slices with big mouthfuls and teased:
"I spent money to buy your mother's braised dishes and treated you to them. You are so stupid that you thought of this."
Wei Miao chuckled, "Brother Lu, if I have nothing else to do these few days, I won't go back."
Lu Pingsheng asked: "Why?"
Wei Miao was worried, "Because of A-Ling and A-Ran, my parents have been displeased with them these days, and they are also setting rules for the little brats..."
Lu Pingsheng understood. No wonder there was such chaos next door these days.
In his opinion, the Wei family's children were obedient and sensible. If they were in modern times, they would be other people's children.
But in today's world, it is indeed necessary to discipline.
In addition to cultivating and extracting penicillin at Lu Pingsheng's home, Wei Miao also refined sulfa powder.
The remaining time was used to study the copper lamps in the eight directions.
"Brother Lu, next time you deliver supplies, can you buy some tung oil?"
Lu Pingsheng showed her the box containing gold ingots.
Wei Miao took a quick look and saw only a thin layer of it. Her expression suddenly changed and she asked him:
"Where's the gold?"
"It's all spent." Lu Pingsheng said frankly.
The old foreigner Charles made a lot of money these times.
Wei Miao closed the box, sat on it and protested to Lu Pingsheng, "We will spend the silver later, the gold will be useful to us."
Lu Pingsheng didn't show it on his face, but he was relieved in his heart.
"Okay, I'll bring you tung oil next time. What else do you want?"
Wei Miao pointed to the half-empty dye barrel next to him and said:
"If you want more sulfa powder, these will need to be replenished as well."
When Lu Pingsheng came out of the secret room, the phone at home rang.
"Lu Pingsheng, someone helped save your life. Remember that you owe me a favor." There was not much emotion in Xu Manhua's voice.
"Where is Li Xiaoya?" Lu Pingsheng asked.
Xu Manhua smiled and said, "Of course we have to keep her alive, but I put something in her medicine. I guess she will be sick in the future."
"It would be great if we could just kill her!" Lu Pingsheng said dissatisfiedly.
Xu Manhua looked at her newly painted nails and said playfully:
"Now that she's dead, she's Wu Ziyang's cinnabar mole. I want to keep her alive and let Wu Ziyang see what he paid for a bitch. What did he miss?"
Lu Pingsheng hung up the phone with a frown on his face.
Xu Manhua clearly hadn't let go of Wu Ziyang yet. He looked at his face in the mirror.
"I'm not that bad, so why isn't there any woman willing to die for me?"
Wei Miao, who came up, just heard what he said and looked strangely at the person who was admiring himself in front of the mirror.
“Brother Lu, are you jealous?”
Lu Pingsheng turned his head to look at the little boy's pitying eyes, feeling neither amused nor helpless.
"What is Allah jealous of?"
Wei Miao spread out her hands like him, "I'm jealous that Brother Zi Yang is more popular with women than you."
Lu Pingsheng changed the subject, "Why are you here?"
Wei Miao said, "The heating fuel is used up."
Wei Miao used a high-temperature refining method, which consumed a lot of fuel.
Lu Pingsheng held his forehead and said, "I understand."
In the Dachang Coffee Shop, Sister Xu Lan watched Li Xiaoya and a young man in a suit and tie talking in low voices at the window.
She knew the man. He was a reporter from a newspaper opposite the cafe and often came here to drink coffee.
Because the private room was in an arc, the two did not notice Sister Xu Lan next door.
"I secretly left some of the medicine when I was taking it. You can take it back and have it tested."
Matsumoto Zhi carefully took the paper bag handed over by Li Xiaoya and asked uncertainly:
"Did you really get better by taking this medicine?"
Li Xiaoya thought that after he finished calling Lu Pingsheng, Xu Manhua came to the door.
This woman fed Wu Ziyang medicine and completely ignored her.
If it weren't for Brother Zi Yang's pleading for her, she would have died in this cholera.
When she thought about how Xu Manhua asked Wu Ziyang to divorce her before giving her the medicine, a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
This woman originally felt sorry for her and wanted to spare her life.
Now it seems that she has softened her heart.
