Chapter 168: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
The next day, Wei Miao got up early.
She put on her clothes with a grimace, pushed open the door, and saw Wu Ma bending over and wiping the stairs one section at a time.
Even the gaps were cleaned bit by bit with a rag, and the smile on the corners of his mouth was very happy after he was satisfied. It was as if he was completing some important ritual.
Wei Miao discovered yesterday that although Wu Ma seemed to be doing things slowly, she was actually very methodical.
The plates and bowls used to serve food must be a set and have the same patterns and colors.
The placement and distance of the dishes and chopsticks look the same to the naked eye.
Maybe this is what Brother Lu calls obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"Master, so early?"
Wu Ma felt someone behind her, so she suppressed her instinct and pretended to have just noticed Wei Miao.
Wei Miao smiled with dimples and said obediently:
"Auntie Wu, from now on, you should call me A-Miao like everyone else."
Wu Ma did not argue, and said:
"Ah Miao, are you going out so early?"
Seeing Wei Miao nod, Wu Ma said quickly:
"I'm cooking porridge for my wife. Would you like to have a bowl to fill your stomach?"
Wei Miao didn't compete for food with pregnant women.
The street outside Guihuali Alley is full of stalls selling breakfast in the early morning when the surrounding shops are not open yet, and she can eat from start to finish.
So she quickly waved her hand and said, "Auntie Wu, don't worry about me."
Seeing that Wei Miao really didn't want to be polite, Wu Ma turned around and continued to wipe the stairs.
The surface of the staircase is clean, but there is still a lot of ash in the gaps. It must be finished today. The kitchen, eaves, yard, and the bird's nest of the osmanthus tree look a bit irregular and must be trimmed. . .
Mother Wu felt that she had endless energy.
Wei Miao was washing up in the sink, thinking about the two people. Lu Pingsheng only said that he would send one person, but two people came.
If she hadn't seen Wu Ma's photo in advance, she probably wouldn't have let them stay.
Most importantly, she did not sense any malice towards Wu Ma and her husband.
But one can feel their vigorous and vigorous aura that is different from ordinary people. These two people are martial artists.
Wei Miao pursed her lips and thought that Lu Pingsheng was a pretty good brother.
She carried her small bag and walked out the door as Wu Ma watched.
As soon as I stepped out of the house, the door opposite opened.
"Mr. Zeng." Wei Miao greeted Uncle Zeng Bao, who was wearing a green gown, with a smile.
"A Miao is going out?" Uncle Zeng Bao chuckled.
Wei Miao smiled: "Yes, I'm going out to work."
Uncle Zeng Bao was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that Xiao Qian once said that Wei Miao was working for Lu Pingsheng for eighty dollars a month.
Xiao Qian curled his lips and said, "Mr. Lu is also handsome, how can he be so stingy?"
Uncle Zeng Bao looked at Xiao Qian's innocent appearance and sighed slightly.
It was already very good for a kid who was just twelve years old to be hired, and 80 dollars was already a sky-high price.
"Mr. Zeng, I may not come back often recently. If my father wants to borrow your phone, please be kind and we will pay for it."
Uncle Zeng Bao smiled and nodded.
Watching the little guy walking briskly towards the entrance of the alley, as if yesterday's gamble was not worth mentioning at all.
It seemed as if the attitude towards him became a little more polite.
Xiao Qian, who was busy in the yard, looked up and saw the thin back of the eldest young master. For some reason, he felt a pang in his heart.
But fortunately, Master Zhishang is coming to stay for a while, so the young master will have someone to talk to and won’t be so lonely anymore.
Wei Miao got off the rickshaw, carrying two large bags in his hands, and saw Huihui and Xiaoding fighting in the clinic from afar.
So she put down her things and shouted, "Brother Xiao Ding, Huihui, come and help me."
The two turned around and saw Wei Miao, and ran towards her.
"Brother Miao, you haven't been here for a long time." Although Dr. Ding is from the northwest, Huihui was born here and speaks an authentic dialect.
Wei Miao looked at the little girl who was almost as tall as her. Her round face was flushed and there was a thin layer of sweat on the tip of her nose. The morning sun shone on her face, like a sunflower growing towards the sun.
"No school today?"
Huihui said happily: "The teachers at school have an event today, so we have a day off."
Wei Miao knew that even the most sensible child would be extremely happy when not in school.
Xiao Ding picked up something from the ground and said, "Ah Miao, come and see your uncle."
Wei Miao stopped at the door of the clinic and handed one of the bags to Xiao Ding.
"Here are the pig's trotters from Wan San's family that Dr. Ding loves the most, the vegetarian snacks that Mrs. Ding loves, and finally, the candies that you and Hui Hui like."
When Ding Huihui heard this, her eyes lit up, "Brother Miao, you are so nice. I will marry you when I grow up."
Xiao Ding was grinning, but when he caught a glimpse of the uncle with a dark face from the corner of his eye, he immediately tugged at Ding Huihui's sleeve.
Ding Huihui was staring at the candies in the bag with a greedy look on her face, "Brother, why are you pulling me? It's not you and Dad..."
"Cough cough~"
Ding Huihui's body stiffened for a moment, and she continued, "Brother, didn't you say that Ah Miao could make money, and if I married her, she would buy us candy?"
Xiao Ding was stunned on the spot. God knows, he didn't say that. It was the little girl Huihui who said that herself.
Unfortunately, Dr. Ding had already kicked up and said in a gloomy tone:
"Ding Baozhu, I just saw how messy the warehouse is. Please tidy it up for me today."
Xiao Ding had a bitter look on his face, and Ding Huihui suddenly turned around with a bright smile on her face.
"Dad! Look, Miao bought your favorite pig's trotters to go with the wine."
Dr. Ding looked at his daughter's innocent face and glared at Xiao Ding fiercely.
Ding Huihui opened her mouth and said something silently to Xiao Ding, who immediately became delighted and left at a quickened pace.
"A Miao, you came here so early in the morning. Have you eaten?" Doctor Ding asked Wei Miao, who was enjoying the show, in a warm tone.
"I've eaten." Wei Miao replied.
Doctor Ding looked at the increasingly outstanding teenager with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes.
The idea in my mind became more and more firm.
Such a good seedling at such an innocent age is exactly what the party and the country need.
"Ah Miao, did you ask me about the raw materials of Western medicine a few days ago? It just so happens that I am going to Hangzhou to attend a medical seminar. If you have time, you can go with me to see the world."
Wei Miao blinked, "Recently?"
Doctor Ding said in a gentle tone, "Three days later."
It was a pity for Wei Miao. She had been working behind closed doors for a long time. She understood the theories in the books, but her practical application was far from satisfactory.
But Lu Pingsheng said that these questions cannot be asked to Dr. Ding.
And now she doesn't need to study other medicines anymore, her curiosity has long gone.
"Doctor Ding, my mother is about to give birth, I can't go far away."
Wei Miao smiled sweetly with sweet dimples.
Doctor Ding looked on with regret as he saw the boy carrying the large bag with some difficulty walking towards Uncle Xu's house.
