Chapter 299: Meet the Old Couple Again

Uncle Qian is a good craft, if I need anything, I will definitely go to you. Mu Xiu said with a smile.

"This is the key, you pack it up slowly, I'll go first." Xiao Qian handed the key to Mu Xiu.

Mu Xiu put away the key, sent a small amount of money out of the door, closed the door, and took out a complete set of kitchen pots and spoons, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar from the space, all of which were placed, as well as dozens of catties of honeycomb coal, which were also neatly placed near the stove.

In the courtyard, two sets of dustpan brooms were also prepared, and a set of mattresses and a set of quilts were placed in each room in the house.

The city is now electrified, and if it is cold in winter, you can use electric blankets, and there are toilets in separate courtyards, and there are regular people to clean the manure tanks regularly.

There is a shower room next to the tap pool, which is not as convenient as the one designed in the countryside, but the large bathhouse in the city is warmer.

Mu Xiu put all the daily necessities one by one, then locked the door, left for the station, and got on the car home.

When the family saw Mu Xiu coming back, they all smiled.

"You kid, I thought I would only be able to get to the county seat in the evening, I was going to wait for you in the county in the afternoon, but I didn't expect you to come back early." Mu Shui said.

"I didn't want my dad to run this trip, but it seems that it's the right time to come back." Mu Xiu was also speechless.

Chen Xuhui took the snakeskin bag and backpack in Mu Xiu's hand with a smile on his face and carried them into the hall.

"I'll go change my clothes first." Mu Xiu turned around and went into the bedroom, and when she came out after changing her clothes, Zhou Shuilian had already ordered her a bowl of noodles and brought it over.

Mu Xiu was also hungry, and after a while, she leaned back contentedly, leaned back next to the chair, and said with satisfaction: "It's still comfortable at home." ”

"The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels." Mu Xiaocao quipped.

"By the way, these are all the things that Grandpa Lu asked me to bring back, mother, you can clean it up." Mu Xiu pointed to the pile of things and said.

"They are really nice people." Zhou Shuilian sighed.

"This time, I paid back all the money I owed to Lu Yuan, and I also bought a tractor, and someone should send it over in a few days." Mu Xiu's words were like a stone falling into the water, causing ripples.

"You said that you not only paid off Lu Yuan's money, but also bought a tractor?" Zhou Shuilian repeated in disbelief.

"Yes, mother." Mu Xiu had long expected that everyone would be surprised, and she had already thought of a reason.

"This time I went to the provincial capital, I happened to pass by a pawnshop, I was curious, and took the coin given by the old man who came to beg last time to let the shopkeeper look at it, I didn't expect this ancient coin to be very valuable, and finally became more than 5,000 yuan."

"More than five thousand dollars, oh my God." Mu Shui let out an exclamation first.

"How pitiful that pair of old people is, if you have these five thousand yuan, you can spend your old age in peace." Zhou Shuilian sighed.

"Now, they don't know where they're going." Mu Xiaocao was also a little uncomfortable, after all, the old couple looked so pitiful.

"You don't have to think about it so much, this is given to us by the old man, if it weren't for us, maybe they wouldn't survive for two days, and when they have the opportunity to meet them in the future, just be nice to them." Mu Xiu reassured.

Everyone nodded, but Mu Xiu knew that maybe she would never meet this pair of old men in her life, so she dared to use the copper coin as an excuse.

It's just that Mu Xiu didn't expect that reality would soon slap him in the face.

"Water lotus, open the door." There was a knock on the door from Mushui.

Zhou Shuilian looked at everyone suspiciously, walked forward quickly, opened the door, and asked strangely, "Didn't you go to the market?" How did I go for a long time and come back again. ”

"Dad, I forgot something." Mu Xiu also walked over and said hello to Mu Shui.

"No, who do you think I'm bringing back?" Mu Shui said in surprise, and then pulled the ox cart into the yard.

The room full of people was attracted by the two old men in the car, aren't these the two old men who Mu Xiu didn't go to the provincial capital to pay and came to beg? But then everyone thought of the copper coin again.

"Sister, you take the old man and the eldest mother into the house, and my mother and I will order some hot noodle soup for the two of us to eat." Mu Xiu said with a glance at Mu Xiaocao.

"Okay." Mu Xiaocao immediately understood, and took the two old men into the hall.

"Dad, mother, Brother Chen, don't tell them about this money for the time being, we can't get so much money now, ask them what's going on first." Mu Xiu whispered.

"That's all there is to it now." Zhou Shuilian also knew that 5,000 yuan was not a small amount, and if she said it rashly at this time, her family couldn't make up such a lot of money.

Mu Shui and Chen Xuhui nodded beside them.

"Dad, how did you meet them?" Mu Xiu asked.

"On my way to the market, I saw them sitting by the tree, I saw that the clothes were familiar, and when I got closer, it turned out to be them, and I thought, we can't take so much money from other people, so I brought them back." Mu Shui said innocently.

Mu Xiu was speechless, she knew that she would meet them again, and she would not use the copper coin as a reason anyway.

Soon, Zhou Shuilian made noodles, and Mu Xiu followed in.

The old man and the aunt didn't eat for two days like last time, but they have been walking for more than ten days, how can they get out of this distance.

"Uncle, aunt, let's meet again, it's fate, where are you going?" Zhou Shuilian asked first.

"It's God's mercy that let us meet our benefactor again." The old man wiped his tears and continued: "In the early years, I had a nephew in Ningxia who had not been in touch for a long time, and this time I was going to beg all the way to join him. ”

"Oh my God, it's more than a thousand kilometers, and it takes more than a year to walk, can you walk here? Do you have a contact information? Mu Xiu blurted out in surprise.

"A long time ago, he wrote a letter, this is the address, and I don't know if I can find it." The old man pulled out a letter from his satchel, the envelope was yellowed, the handwriting on it was faded, and it was only half-baked.

Mu Xiu took it and saw that the address on it only wrote Ningxia Post Office, and there was nothing else.

"Uncle, why is there only half of the envelope?" Mu Xiu looked at it over and over again, and asked strangely.

"The son-in-law gave this half, and he originally sent us to find our nephew, but he went to ask for directions, and never came back." The old woman whispered.

Suddenly, Mu Xiu understood everything, this son-in-law lied to help them find their nephew in order to abandon these two old men, and there was no one to find at such an address, and he didn't forget to tear up the specific address of the old man's house, just to prevent someone from sending them back according to the address.
