Chapter 234: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
Wei Miao was feeling very happy, but when he heard the conversation between the two people, he choked.
Looking at the majority of gold disappearing from under him, Wei Miao calmly lay in the mahogany box, gently closed the lid, and began to wash his hands with all his strength. The two-pound gold bar smelled so good.
Jiro Sakai looked at Kudo Hisayoshi, whose eyes were dark and deep, and nodded politely:
"No one can open the seal before General Hirata gives the order. Thank you for your hard work tonight, Kudo-kun."
Kudo Hisayoshi said: "These wax people still think that Shen City is their territory. And those Westerners, sooner or later..."
Kudo Hisayoshi is still brooding over the death of his brother.
He never thought that his smart and capable brother would make such a low-level mistake as not even recognizing his own car.
All this made the hatred in his heart burn even more fiercely, and he looked forward to that day.
Listening to the sound of the two people walking away, Wei Miao burped comfortably.
--------------
At dawn the next day, the aroma of braised meat from the Wei family's yard wafted throughout the alley.
People who get up early to go to work seem to have gotten used to it. They swallow their saliva and eat a bowl of rice soaked in plain water with the aroma, which is also very delicious.
Wei Ping rubbed her eyes and hurried to the door of her big cooking room. She pushed the door open with her little fleshy hands and poked her messy little head in.
"Cauldron?"
She thought her voice was very low, but in fact even Xu Ayu, who was half asleep while feeding the cub, heard it.
Wei Ping found that her brother did not respond. Just as she was about to step into the room, Wei Ada grabbed the back of her collar.
Wei Ping was lifted up in the air, kicking her legs wildly, pouting and begging for mercy:
"Dad, let me go."
General Wei A carried the man out of the yard and asked, "Why are you running into your brother's room so early in the morning?"
Wei Ping had a head of aho-hair and looked at Wei Ada with her dark eyes, "Dad, we're taking a break today. I want to go out and play with my brother."
Da Guo said last time that after they have rested, he would take them to the zoo to see the gorillas.
Wei Ada calculated the time and found that today was indeed a day when he didn't have to go to school.
"Then wait until Big Brother Nong wakes up."
Wei Ping was put down. After her feet touched the ground, she put her hands on her waist, raised her chin and said to Wei Ada:
"Dad, I just checked and my brother is not in the room."
Just as Wei Ada was about to tell him he was talking nonsense, there was a knock on the gate.
Wei Ada knew that the workers who came to pick the braised meat had arrived, and hurried to open the door.
"Boss Wei, sorry to bother you."
The workers who picked the braised meat were two young men about eighteen or nineteen years old, brothers with the same surname. They were not tall, but looked dark, thin and strong, and had a lot of strength.
The two men were carrying two empty loads on their shoulders and standing outside the door, smiling at Wei Ada attentively.
"Don't call me Boss Wei, just call me Brother Wei."
While saying these polite words, Wei Ada turned around and led the two of them into the yard.
There was still steam coming out of the four wooden barrels in the yard, filled with braised meat and vegetables.
Wei Ada said: "Two little brothers, check it out."
The two brothers really checked carefully how much meat, vegetables, chickens, pig livers and large intestines there were...
One person checks and one person records, it's very professional.
Wei Ping looked at Wei Ada busying herself, then quietly turned around and went back to the big pot room.
As she pushed open the room, she whispered, "Ahri?"
She remembered that once she sneaked into the cauldron room and was almost scratched by Ali.
The bed on the cauldron was empty, there was no one, not even Ali.
Wei Ping's cheeks were puffed up, and her elder brother was dragged away to work by Brother Lu again.
As she was thinking about it, the phone in the living room rang.
She ran out of the room with her short legs, stood on a stool, and touched the phone.
"Hey, who are you looking for?"
Lu Pingsheng heard the baby voice on the phone and teased her:
"Ala is looking for Pingmei's big pot."
Wei Ping seemed to recognize that it was Lu Pingsheng's voice, and said with a flushed face:
"The cauldron isn't here."
Lu Pingsheng thought she was joking and coaxed her:
"If Pingmei can help me get Nongdae to answer the phone, I will bring chestnut cake to Pingmei next time."
Wei Ping was quite moved, and swallowed her saliva and said, "Da Guo is not at home."
When Wei Ada came in, he saw Pingmei holding the phone.
Pingmei handed him the receiver, "Dad, it's Lu Daguo calling."
Wei Ada picked up the phone and heard that Lu Pingsheng was looking for Wei Miao. He knew the matter was important, so he put down the phone and went to Wei Miao's room.
When he opened the door, he found the room empty. Then he realized that his little daughter was not lying.
Seeing the note left by Wei Miao and handing it to Ping Mei, she guessed:
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to run errands for Mr. Lu. I won't be back for half a month..."
Wei Ada held the phone, told Lu Pingsheng the contents of the note, and then said anxiously:
"Mr. Lu, didn't Ah Miao come to see you?"
Lu Pingsheng reacted very quickly and said, "I heard someone knocking on the door. I think it was Ah Miao coming..."
Wei A breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Pingsheng put down the phone and was about to call again when the phone rang.
He waited quietly for the phone to ring. When the third ring came, the call was not hung up. Lu Pingsheng breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted himself for a moment, and then answered the phone.
"Lu Pingsheng, Dachang Coffee Shop, please treat me to coffee." Xu Manhua's righteous voice sounded in her ears.
Lupin made an appointment with her without changing his expression.
He stopped thinking about Wei Miao and simply changed his clothes, went upstairs to get a small blue and white porcelain ornament, put it in his briefcase, and walked out the door with a relaxed attitude.
When passing by the Little Jiangsu wonton stall, he smiled and said:
"Leave some more wontons for dinner, Miao has a big appetite."
Little Jiangsu held the wontons in his hand and agreed with a smile.
At the scallion pancake stall, Grandma Cui asked Lu Pingsheng, "Would Wei Miao like to eat my scallion pancake so early in the morning? I'll send it to her."
Lu Pingsheng waved his hand, "Grandma, when she wants to eat, she can come out by herself. Don't spoil her."
Grandma Cui muttered, "Ah Miao is still a child, he deserves to be loved."
Mrs. Cui touched her slightly bulging belly, looked at Lu Pingsheng's back as he left, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
In the attic, Cui Liping, who had just delivered the scallion pancakes, only saw the rear end of Lu Pingsheng's car.
"Gone?" he asked Mrs. Cui.
Mrs. Cui was a little discouraged and said, "I'm leaving."
The two of them sighed heavily, and were seen by Grandma Cui. "It's so early in the morning, who are you two going to show your depressed faces to?"
Before Cui Liping started to speak, Mrs. Cui touched her belly and said, "Oh, mother, look, is the baby pregnant?"
The old ladies immediately stopped complaining and looked at her belly with shining eyes.
"Oh, go and have a rest, I and Ping are here..."
Mrs. Cui gave Cui Liping a smug look and walked into the yard with her increasingly plump figure.
