I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China

Chapter 179: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land

At noon in autumn, the sun is warm, with a pot of brewed osmanthus tea and a small plate of mung bean cake made by Wu Ma, the mother and daughter can spend half an afternoon in the yard.

"No one has been in or out of the other side for three days. I wonder what they are doing?"

Xu Ayu touched her belly gently and chatted with Wei Miao.

She turned her head to look at her daughter who had her eyes half-closed. The sunlight cast fan-shaped shadows on her long, curly eyelashes.

The upturned nose is exactly the same as Wei Ada's, and most importantly, the girl's pink lips are slightly pursed, and the shallow dimples on her baby-fat cheeks are eye-catching.

Her daughter will be thirteen years old this year.

Wei Miao noticed Xu Ayu's gaze, opened his slender eyebrows and looked at Xu Ayu, "Mom, what are you looking at?"

Xu Ayu stretched out his hand and pinched his daughter's fair cheek, "A Miao has gained weight."

Wei Miao smiled shyly, "Auntie Wu cooks delicious food, and I stay at home every day, so I'm going to gain weight."

Mother Wu, who was sitting in the yard and making clothes for the kid, looked up at Wei Miao and gave a gentle smile.

In the study room where the kids were studying, Uncle Wu's abacus was clacking loudly, and Laba was standing nearby, watching with great concentration.

When Lu Pingsheng entered the room carrying things, he saw Wei Miao rubbing against Xu Ayu's arm and acting coquettishly.

"Mr. Lu is here." Xu Ayu asked with a smile and was about to stand up.

Lu Pingsheng hurried in and handed the things to Aunt Wu who came over, "Aunt Ayu, please don't move, or A Miao will glare at me."

Xu Ayu turned his head and saw his daughter smiling sweetly, not glaring at him.

"Brother Lu slanders me as soon as he opens his mouth." Wei Miao was dissatisfied.

Lu Pingsheng glanced at Wei Miao and asked, "Has Ah Miao grown taller?"

Wei Miao was happy to hear him say that, and quickly ran up to him to compete with him.

Her hair, warm from the sun, brushed against Lupinson's cheek:

"Brother Lu, I have really grown taller. Last time I was as tall as your shoulders. Now I am as tall as your ears."

Xu Ayu looked at Lu Pingsheng's shocked expression and chuckled, "Ah Miao, you won't feel tired standing on tiptoe."

Wei Miao was not angry after being exposed. He put his feet firmly on the ground, still on Lu Pingsheng's shoulder.

"Sister Gui is taller than me, but I am so short." Wei Miao sighed.

Xu Ayu said: "Sister Gui is two years older than you. She is already a grown-up girl, and it is the time for her to grow taller."

Wei Miao was still lost.

Lu Pingsheng comforted her and said:

"Boys develop later than girls. Girls usually start growing at 14 or 15 years old, while boys only grow rapidly when they are 16 or 17 years old..."

Wei Miao was not comforted. Looking at the bruises and black spots under Lu Pingsheng's eyes, she asked:

"Brother Lu, what have you been busy with during this period?"

What is Lu Pingsheng busy with? He is busy being happy. October has arrived, the Northwest Army has met, and the world is finally settled.

He was busy being angry, busy watching the authorities and the Japanese wrangling back and forth, trying to resolve relations between the two countries through peaceful means, constantly making concessions and allowing the Japanese to test his bottom line.

He was too busy suffering as his comrades in the organization were arrested and killed, deaths recorded in textbooks, and he was powerless to change them.

He did not participate in intelligence work, and even if he did, Lu Pingsheng could do nothing about it. He could only make money, and make more money.

Fortunately, Mr. Wu and his team have already gone to the northwest to join the organization.

Lu Pingsheng thought that if he couldn’t change history, then he would ensure logistics, good food, warm clothes, weapons, and good medicine. . .

"The General Administration of Customs has been investigating smuggling recently and has been busy day and night. I happen to be free today, so I'll take you out for some fun."

Wei Miao blinked after hearing this. She saw that Brother Lu looked calculating and didn't seem like he really wanted to take her out to play.

"Mr. Lu, please take this annoying guy away. He's been sticking to me every day for the past half month and I'm fed up with it." Xu Ayu said.

Wei Miao looked at the smile on the pregnant woman's face and turned back to change clothes.

When the two were walking at the entrance of the alley, they saw three cars parked on the side of the road. When the car doors opened, Xiao Qian was the first to get out.

Xiao Qian skipped to the side, opened the door of the first car, and a short, peaceful-looking old monk got out of the car.

He was wearing ordinary monk's robes, his eyebrows and beard were all white. He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Wei Miao and Lu Pingsheng.

Wei Miao was fine, he felt that the old man had no desires or demands in his eyes, which was quite like the demeanor of a master.

What Lu Pingsheng saw was a little different. He felt that the kind-looking monk in front of him had no expression of sadness or joy, as if he had merged with the world.

"Master Zhishang, we're here." Xiao Qian said happily, obviously he liked this old monk very much.

The old monk chanted a Buddhist name.

A line of words appeared in front of Lu Pingsheng, "Zhi Shang, 108 years old, abbot of the Zeng family temple Long'an Temple."

Lu Pingsheng's eyes fell on the three numbers '108', and he was quite surprised.

This was the oldest person he had ever met here, and judging from his words and actions, people would believe he was in his fifties or sixties.

At this time, Uncle Zeng Bao, who had just gotten off the car, saw the two people slowly approaching and said with a gentle smile:

"Brother Lu, A Miao, I haven't seen you for a while."

Wei Miao called out to someone, and Lu Pingsheng greeted him, "I've already found the calligraphy and painting you asked me to find last time. I'll send it to your home when I bring it back from Peking."

Uncle Zeng Bao’s smile widened.

The two sides said goodbye and Lu Pingsheng drove away.

Elder Monk Zhishang looked at Uncle Zeng Bao with a somewhat indifferent expression and said:

"Is this the one?"

Uncle Zeng Bao gestured to Xiao Qian to walk in front, and he personally supported the old monk.

"My name is Wei Miao."

Supported by Uncle Zeng Bao, the old monk walked slowly towards the alley in his monk's shoes on the checkered road.

"As a grain of sand in the vast ocean, I am like a mayfly in the universe, and I have some Buddha nature."
