Chapter 166: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
Wei Miao slept well that night. When he woke up the next day, there was no other sound except the birds singing in the yard.
Wei Miao rubbed his slightly swollen chest, looked down at his little breasts, and sighed softly.
She had to ask Xu Ayu what was going on. Originally, she wanted to look for the reason in a book, but she searched many books, both ancient and modern, but none of them clearly described the ins and outs of these things.
Wei Miao carefully put on her cotton vest, then put on the new jacket Xu Ayu made for her before going out.
There are small pieces of clouds piled up on the horizon, the warm sunshine is shining on the body, and the breeze is blowing. It is a bright and refreshing summer morning.
Wei Miao was just about to stretch when he saw Laba sitting quietly under the osmanthus tree.
This kid is always elusive, and even someone as perceptive as her can't spot him the first time something happens.
"Where are Grandma and Weidong?"
Wei Miao asked questions into the shade of the tree.
Laba climbed down the tree with frustration in his clear eyes. This time he deliberately did not disturb the cicadas and hid in the tree, but he was still discovered by his elder brother.
Wei Miao looked at the little cub who had grown to her shoulders and pouted slightly, and smiled and comforted him:
"Then next time, I'll pretend I don't see you?"
Laba shook his head suddenly, with protest in his eyes.
Wei Miao waved to him and saw the little boy coming over obediently. He imitated Lu Pingsheng and quickly touched her head.
Looking at Laba jumping away, Wei Miao laughed out loud, feeling very proud.
"Ah Miao, you are bullying Laba again!"
Xu Ayu came in with one hand on his waist and a basket of crabs in the other. Wei Dong behind him looked at Wei Miao with disapproval.
"Big pot, you can't bully Laba."
Wei Miao looked at the little kid walking towards him with a righteous look on his face, and reached out to pick him up.
"Then I bully you?"
Wei Dong widened his dark eyes, looking troubled. After a while, he said, "You can only bully me once a day!"
Wei Miao was amused by the little kid and pretended to spit on his face, which scared the little kid so much that he twisted and screamed.
Wei Miao gasped and quickly put the little kid down. He wanted to rub his chest but held back.
Laba had already taken the crabs from Xu Ayu and put them in the sink to wash them.
Xu Ayu sat down, looked at the kid who was carefully cleaning the crabs, and sighed to Wei Miao:
"He still can't speak. My father said he would take him to see a doctor, but he refused."
Wei Miao comforted her, "Mom, don't worry about these things for now. At most, we can raise him up, and let him get married and have children."
If it were in the past, Xu Ayu would definitely knock her on the forehead and scold her for being so arrogant.
Now she can earn 200 French francs a month, and she has two more customers to deliver her stewed food to, which means she earns twice as much as before, and she also gets 80 dollars a month from Ah Miao...
It's more than enough to raise a well-behaved and obedient cub.
"A Miao, Mom always feels like she's dreaming." Xu Ayu looked at the neat and clean courtyard and the brand new house, and a sense of unreality arose.
Wei Miao secretly touched her belly, feeling the calmness, and said with little interest:
"Mom, when this cub comes out, I want to touch him every day."
Xu Ayu saw the childishness in his daughter's eyes and retracted his sentimentality.
"Mom, the maid introduced by Brother Wu will come to our house this afternoon. I will ask Xiao Qian to help you take a look. If it is okay, you can stay. You can rest assured and prepare for the birth of your baby in the next two months."
Wei Miao saw Xu Ayu was about to open his mouth to object, and quickly said:
"Brother Lu has already paid her a year's salary, and it's not refundable."
Xu Ayu glared, "One year? Isn't it one month?"
Wei Miao spread his hands, "Brother Lu is very wealthy, who knows what he is thinking?"
She just mentioned that she wanted to find a servant who could cook delicious meals and take care of her during the confinement period.
Lu Pingsheng almost patted his chest and said that he would take care of the matter.
Lu Pingsheng understood these things better than her, so she naturally didn't worry about them.
While the mother and daughter were chatting, Wei Ada came back carrying a load on his shoulder.
Seeing his daughter, Wei A laughed happily, put down his burden, and took out a basket of juicy grapes from the braised meat barrel.
"You're looking for death, why buy so much?" Although Xu Ayu said this, saliva was already secreting from his mouth.
General Wei A placed the grapes by the pond, watched Laba washing the plump crabs, and said with a smile:
"Luckily I didn't buy crabs, otherwise they would have collided with yours."
The couple smiled in tacit understanding.
One knew that the mistress of the house craved grapes, and the other knew that the husband of the house liked to eat crabs.
Wei Miao felt that he was redundant, so he walked to the eaves on the west side, where there were piles of large and small items that were moved from Xiao Qian's house yesterday.
Wei Miao and Lu Pingsheng were together and learned from each other that wood also has different qualities.
Precious ones include huanghuali and red sandalwood, while cheap ones include sycamore, elm and other miscellaneous woods.
The good ones are made into furniture and decorations, while the inferior ones are used for making fire and cooking.
Since she had nothing to do early in the morning, Wei Miao began to identify the wood according to the method Lu Pingsheng taught her.
Xiao Qian was right. Everything in her store is indeed good.
The worst box is made of mahogany...
Wei Miao's eyes swept over the mahogany box and he was suddenly stunned.
The box is exquisitely crafted, with an intricate bronze lock, and at first glance it looks like something only wealthy people could own.
However, Wei Miao saw something different. On the intricate copper lock, she saw the familiar plum blossom copper seal.
The plum blossom copper seal was perfectly integrated into the copper lock. If she hadn't studied it every day, she wouldn't have recognized it at first glance.
"Ah Miao, what are you looking at?"
Wei Ada looked at his daughter who didn't respond after he called her several times, and walked over.
Wei Miao retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Dad, these are what Sister Qian doesn't want?"
Wei Ada nodded somewhat embarrassedly, "They are all good things, it would be a pity to throw them away."
Wei Miao nodded heavily, "Dad, I want to choose two things for my room."
Wei Ada quickly agreed, "If you want that, Dad will help you move it."
Wei Miao chose a pen holder, two ornaments, and the big box in front of him.
Xu Ayu was eating grapes under the shade of a tree, watching the father and daughter busying around, with a smile on his face.
"Excuse me, is this the Wei family?"
Xu Ayu looked up and saw two people standing at the door. The woman was in her thirties, of medium height and plump, with a round and kind face. Her hair was combed meticulously and she was wearing a blue coat that was washed to a pale color.
The man was about the same height as the woman, a little thinner, wearing a long gown, with a bag on his back. His face was smart, but he hadn't glanced around since he entered the room.
"It's the Wei family."
Seeing Xu Ayu was about to get up, the middle-aged woman hurried over to support her, but was beaten to the punch by Wei Ada.
"Who are you?" Wei Ada looked at the two of them in a protective manner.
The middle-aged woman quickly smiled and said, "We are here to work."
After she finished speaking, she tugged at her man's sleeve. The man nodded slightly and said:
"It was Mr. Lu who introduced us to work in Guihuali."
After Xu Ayu heard this, he put away the vigilance in his eyes and said with a smile: "There are few strangers in our house, don't be surprised, come in quickly."
