Chapter 132: Quid pro quo
On the morning of the second day, Xu Wanning left the army.
Calculating the time, the matter of registering the trademark should have been almost done, and she has to implement this matter as soon as possible.
As for the house, she also had to ask Song Han Jinchu what he meant.
Xu Wanning didn't let Lin An or Xu Maoyan send her, she took a shuttle bus at the gate of the army and arrived directly in the city.
She went to the office first, and after getting all the information, she saw the brand name of Xujiapu written on it, and her sense of belonging to the 70s deepened.
She turned around and went to the market.
Walking through a small alley, Xu Wanning heard the sound of someone arguing.
She was not a curious person, and she wanted to speed up her pace, but she didn't expect that as soon as she reached the door of a house, the door fell straight down.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and was not hit by the heavy wooden door.
"Girl, are you alright? Did this door hit you? An old man with a cane walked out slowly, and asked with a worried expression.
Xu Wanning shook her head and helped to lift the wooden door up, "I guess I have to find someone to reinstall this door, otherwise I can see all the scenes in the house by standing at the door, which is not very safe." ”
"Hey, there's nothing in this house, what's the use of not looking at the light?" The old man wiped his moist eye sockets with his other hand.
Xu finally met a little girl who looked kind, and the old man opened the conversation and complained to Xu Wanning for a long time.
It turned out that the old man's ancestor was the young master of a rich family, but in the most difficult years, the family's property was taken away, and this small courtyard house was left.
But his life was hard, his daughter did not survive smallpox, and died early at the age of five, and his son grew up to marry a wife and have children, but he was a restless person, and all the remaining family property was lost, and now people can't find it, leaving only a seven-year-old grandson.
"My grandson is sensible, he knows that he feels sorry for people at a young age, but his life is miserable. His father ran away, his mother ran away, and I was the only one left at home with a lonely old man to take him, but he was still sick, and I couldn't even get the money to go to the hospital to see a doctor, so I could only watch him lie in bed. ”
"I don't know if you saw the guy who ran out of my house just now? It was a nephew of mine, and when he heard about my grandson's illness, he came to me and asked me for the deed to the house! I asked him to borrow some money to treat my grandson, but he scolded me for being an old immortal! ”
"My life is miserable! I'm dead when I have an old bone, but my grandson is only seven years old......"
Seeing a silver-haired old man crying silently in front of him, Xu Wanning's heart rose uncomfortably.
The old man's grandson was only seven years old, the same age as Song Han.
This made Xu Wanning feel even more uncomfortable.
"Can you take me to visit your grandson? I'll see if I can help him. ”
"Hey, good!"
In a spacious room, on a bed made of wooden planks, lay a skinny little boy.
The little boy is very thin, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as skinny, but his eyes are surprisingly large, and they are a little oozing together.
"What's wrong with him?"
The old man shook his head: "I don't know, I can't even take out a dollar, and I can't take him to the hospital at all." I found a Lang Zhong to check his pulse, and Lang Zhong couldn't see what was wrong with him. ”
Xu Wanning thought about it, took out twenty yuan, and pressed a bowl with a gap on the table.
"Take the money and take the child to the hospital for a check-up."
"This ...... That's too much. ”
When the old man saw the two big sheets, he hurriedly said, "I asked, two yuan is enough to go to the hospital." ”
The old man should not have been to the hospital for a long time, and he didn't know that two yuan was just the most basic expense, and if the boy's condition was serious, let alone two yuan, twenty might not be enough.
But she couldn't say it explicitly, lest people misunderstand that she was cursing.
"It's okay, you take it, if there is any leftover, buy something for the child to eat, look at his skinny, I feel distressed when I look at it."
"This ......"
The old man hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind: "Girl, don't be in a hurry to leave, I'll give you something." ”
The old man went into the back room on crutches, and when he came out again, he was holding a wooden box in his hand.
Trembling, he opened the wooden box and took out a piece of paper that had been well preserved, but was visibly yellowed.
"This is the deed of this house, you keep it, and when my grandson grows up in the future, let him exchange the money for this deed."
"It's okay, I ...... the money"
"Girl, take it." The old man choked up and said, "Twenty yuan, I can save my grandson's life!" What does this title deed count? ”
Xu Wanning looked at the deed and didn't know what to do for a while.
She gave money, just looking at the children and the old people pitiful, and at the same time wanted to do something good, so she should give it to the original body and accumulate blessings for herself, she didn't think so much about it at all.
She took the deed, and things were different.
The little boy saw Xu Wanning's hesitation, and said, "Auntie, you can accept the deed." ”
"I'm sure my aunt wouldn't let me and my grandfather leave here even if she had the deed, right? When I earn money in the future, I'll go to my aunt and redeem the deed, okay? Auntie, don't refuse me. ”
To the back, the boy's voice even carried a pleading.
He was a well-educated child.
Every time Xu Wanning saw him, she would involuntarily substitute for Song Han.
Therefore, she couldn't bear to refuse this distressing child at all.
"Okay, then I'll accept this deed, and when you grow up, your aunt will come to your aunt to redeem it."
"I'll be sure! Auntie, you have to remember my name, my name is Xu Ning, Xu is the promise of promise, and Ning is the quiet Ning. ”
Xu Wanning smiled: "Coincidentally, you are very similar to your aunt's name." My name is Xu Wanning, and Xu is Xu who is slowly rising. I also have a son, a daughter, and two children, and my son is about the same age as you. When you're well, I'll bring them to play with you, okay? ”
"Hmm!" Xu Ning nodded vigorously.
Before leaving, Xu Wanning put all the vegetables she bought from the market on the table, and at the same time, while Xu Ning and the old man were not paying attention, she quietly took a pound of white rice and a pound of white noodles out.
Fortunately, she carried a satchel with her, but the capacity of the satchel was limited, and she took too much, which was easy to arouse suspicion.
Leaving Xu's house, Xu Wanning put the deed in the space, went to the market again to buy something, and then rushed back to Xu's house.
When she returned home, only Xu's mother was at home.
"Your eldest brother and sister-in-law have gone out to play with their four children, and it may take a while to come back."
