Chapter 273: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
Xu Ayu saw Wei Ada carrying Weidong in, and saw the little mud ball crying with tears and snot. She was overwhelmed with maternal love and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"What are you doing?"
Wei Ada looked at the mistress of the house with a rosy face, and finally someone said what he had been holding back on.
He placed Weidong under the eaves and said to Xu Ayu, "Come in."
Since life got better, Xu Ayu hasn't seen Wei Ada so serious for a long time.
The expression on her face changed quickly, and she asked nervously, "What happened?"
Wei Ada said nothing and walked into the bedroom.
Xu Ayu turned to Wei Miao and said, "Ah Miao, you have to keep these things well."
Wei Miao looked over and saw that Hu Na had given him six large yellow croakers today.
Wei Miao did not tell Xu Ayu and the others that she had a shop.
The rent has always been managed by Uncle Wu.
"Big pot, it hurts!" Wei Dong pouted and stretched out his little paws to look at Wei Miao pitifully.
Just at this time, Aunt Wu came over with some water and said, "I'll change Ah Dong's clothes so he won't catch a cold."
Wei Miao squatted down and rubbed the little kid's face with his fingers.
"Be good and let Auntie Wu give you a bath and change your clothes. Big brother will come to see you later."
Maybe because he had never been treated like this before, the usually naughty little kid nodded obediently.
Wei Miao picked up the gold bars on the table and knocked on Uncle Wu's door.
When I was about to push the door, it was opened by Uncle Wu.
"Uncle Wu, why did you get out of bed?" Wei Miao went over and helped him sit back on the bed.
"I've been lying down for too long, and my whole body has become rusty. Did I just hear Adong crying?"
Wei Miao smiled and said, "It was winter, and she rolled around in the mud outside. My father caught her red-handed. Auntie Wu is washing her now. I'll give her something to eat soon."
Uncle Wu thought of Weidong's personality and smiled, which was rare for him.
Wei Miao briefly told Uncle Wu about the closure of the coffee shop in the past few days and Hu Na's visits to his house a few days ago.
Uncle Wu was also quite moved after hearing this, "I didn't expect it was someone I know."
Wei Miao handed two gold bars to Uncle Wu and said:
"Uncle Wu, this is your medical expenses. The rest will be deposited into your account. When you are well again, you can collect rent according to the market price."
Uncle Wu declined, "I will never take the money unless I have done something well."
Wei Miao was thinking about Wei Dong, so he didn't argue with Uncle Wu. "Uncle Wu, you got hurt for my family. Although I've already gotten revenge on him, the damage to your body can't be measured with gold."
Before Uncle Wu could say anything, Wei Miao had already left the room and considerately closed the door.
Uncle Wu looked at the gold bars in front of him and remained silent for a long time.
Outside the house, Weidong had been washed and wrapped in a thick blanket and placed on a large armchair in the yard.
Wu Ma also wrapped his head with a striped towel newly bought by the foreign company, leaving only his chubby little face exposed.
The little kid's black eyes moved, and his long eyelashes were wet with water stains.
"A big pot."
Wei Dong was wrapped up completely and couldn't stretch out his hands to let Wei Miao hug him. He could only call her aggrievedly.
Wei Miao stood in front of Wei Dong with a handful of imported candies in his hand, like a magic trick, peeled one and put it in his mouth.
"Wow~~~Big pot..."
Weidong felt that Daguo also bullied him. He was so sad that he wanted to run away from home to find Laba.
Wei Miao puffed up one side of his cheek, looked at the little boy who had just turned four years old in front of him and asked:
"Want some candy?"
Weidong sobbed, smelled the rich aroma of toffee, and nodded spinelessly.
"Then I'll ask you a question, and you have to answer it obediently."
Wei Miao no longer feels that human cubs are troublesome. Now she thinks that cubs are quite cute.
"Big Pot, you ask. Adong, answer obediently!"
The little guy stared at the candy in Wei Miao's hand.
In the alley, there was a family who worked in a sugar factory. They never lacked brown sugar, white sugar, and rock sugar, so their three children's teeth were damaged from eating too much sugar.
He cried in pain every night and the whole alley was in turmoil. It was only after I spent a lot of money to see a dentist that the pain finally subsided.
After hearing this, Xu Ayu strictly controlled the children's sugar intake and made sure they brushed their teeth every morning and evening.
Even Wei Ada and Uncle Wu had to brush their teeth and rinse their mouths every morning and evening, and even Wei Miao was often nagged by her.
"We're not afraid of spending money, but your teeth are all replaced now. If they get damaged again, you'll be ugly for the rest of your life."
Wei Miao always assured him that he would eat less or no candy when he was outside, and only then would Xu Ayu smile.
"You don't know, it costs more than ten dollars to see a dentist..."
Wei Miao: . . .
Wei Dong couldn't get his hands out, so he could only shake his head, slurping his saliva and urging:
"Big Pot, ask quickly!"
"What were you doing before you met my father?" Wei Miao asked.
Wei Dong tilted his head and thought for a while, then said:
"Aqiu and I were playing in the mud in a dilapidated house at the entrance of the alley. An aunt waved at me... I didn't go over, so the aunt came up and hugged me and started crying... Aqiu and the others threw mud at her... Then my father came over, and the aunt let me go and ran away..."
The little guy told the story in a disjointed manner, and after he finished, he looked at Wei Miao longingly.
Wei Miao peeled a candy and put it in his mouth. Wei Dong's eyes curved and he said vaguely, "Da Guo, it's so sweet. Da Guo, you are so nice."
Wei Miao pinched his bulging cheeks and said, "Stay in the sun for a while. Auntie Wu will help you get dressed later."
Weidong had the candy and had long forgotten the unpleasantness just now. The little chick pecked at the rice and nodded, being unbelievably well-behaved.
While having dinner, Wei Ran and a few others were chattering about school matters.
Wei Ada, who would usually chime in with a word or two, now just lowered his head to eat, occasionally losing his focus.
"Dad, we need to collect donations tomorrow."
Wei Ling and the others said it twice, but Wei Ada didn't respond, so this time she raised her voice.
Wei Ada was so angry at her loud yell that he dropped the chopsticks in his hand and said:
"You're yelling and hollering at the dinner table. Are you reading too much?"
The noisy desk suddenly became quiet.
Wei Ping is young and has a bad memory, so she doesn't remember any of the times when Wei A'da lost his temper.
Wei Ran and the others remembered it clearly, and immediately became as obedient as rabbits, not daring to make a sound.
Even Wei Miao felt that the ribs in her mouth were no longer sweet. It seemed that things were more serious than she thought.
"Why are you going crazy over a child?"
At the critical moment, Xu Ayu came out of the bedroom, stood at the door and spat at Wei Ada.
Wei Ada came back to his senses and met the children's frightened eyes. He suddenly regretted it and wanted to say something, but didn't know how to open his mouth.
Finally, he bent down to pick up the chopsticks, wiped them with his sleeve, and ate rice in big mouthfuls.
Wei Miao turned his head to look at Xu Ayu, asking questions.
Xu Ayu asked Wei Ling and the others, "What are you going to donate?"
Wei Ling stole a glance at Wei Ada and saw that he was only focused on eating, then she said to Xu Ayu:
"It's to raise money to buy supplies for fighting the Japanese."
Xu Ayu thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you two cents each later."
Wei Ling wanted to say something, but seeing that the atmosphere at home was really bad, she lowered her head and ate her meal.
