Chapter 285: Begging the Old Man

Hearing Mu Xiaocao say this, Mu Xiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, oh my God, it turns out that he has to wait another year or two...... Some small household appliances in her space, how to use them without electricity!

"That thing must be very difficult to get together, if we can use electricity in two years, it will be done." Zhou Shuilian didn't think so, anyway, she had been like this for decades, and she didn't care about the two years.

It's already November, and the days that follow will get colder and colder, Mu Xiu closed his eyes and recuperated, but his heart was full of thoughts, it seemed that he had to go to the county seat quickly, otherwise, it would be difficult to go out again when it snowed again.

After entering November, it was getting darker and earlier, and Mu Shui and Chen Xuhui came back early as soon as it was dark, but not long after the two of them entered the house, there was another knock on the door outside.

"Who?" Mu Xiaocao shouted towards the door with some vigilance.

"Good people do well, do good things." An old voice sounded outside the door.

Mu Xiaocao turned his head to look at everyone, Chen Xuhui walked over, first opened the door a crack, and then opened the door, everyone looked outside, and couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw an old man with gray hair and a scruffy beard, supporting an old woman with the same gray hair standing outside the door, the old woman holding a cane in her hand, and the old man holding a bowl in her hand, both of them had sunken eyes, chapped skin, skinny as wood, and their clothes were in tatters hanging on their bodies layer by layer, and they all looked like they were about sixty years old.

"Great good man, let's eat, the two of us haven't eaten anything for two days." The old man said weakly.

"Come in, come in and eat." Zhou Shuilian saw the two old people, her heart suddenly ached, the moment she opened the door just now, she almost thought that she saw the grandparents who had passed away.

"Xiu, go and bring two bowls of hot noodles, put some meat, put two... Put four eggs! Zhou Shuilian instructed Mu Xiu again.

"Okay." Mu Xiu turned around and entered the kitchen, Zhou Shuilian's behavior, Mu Xiu didn't feel anything wrong, she had a trace of pity for the elderly people, because she was an orphan in the previous life, and thanks to the kindness of those old people in the mountains, who helped her, she could grow up.

The old man and the old woman came begging for food all the way, and they had not yet met the person who let them into the house, so they couldn't help but feel a little at a loss for a while.

"Great good man, if we are dirty, we will not go into the place where we will dirty you, give us something to eat, and we will leave." The old man stumbled.

"It's okay, come in, they're all from the countryside, and they don't pay so much attention to it." Zhou Shuilian said enthusiastically.

The old woman's legs were weak, the old man didn't hold it well, and when he saw that he was about to fall, Mu Shuiyan quickly stepped forward and grabbed the old woman.

"Uncle, you see that the eldest lady is weak like this, go in." Mu Shui helped the old woman and walked into the house.

The old man said words of thanks in his mouth, and followed behind Mu Shui, his eyes kept staring at the old woman, and the concern in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

After entering the hall, Mu Shui first placed the old woman on the chair, and after the old man entered, he looked at the chair, then at himself, and stood directly beside the old woman.

"Uncle, sit down." Zhou Shuilian gave way.

"It's okay, I'll look at the old woman."

Zhou Shuilian sighed secretly, and said to Mu Xiaocao: "Go and move two of the bamboo benches outside." ”

Mu Xiaocao nodded, went out and moved two benches in, and the old man saw the bench, so he sat down coolly.

"The noodles are ready." Mu Xiu came in with a pot, as well as two bowls and chopsticks.

"Sheng here, Sheng here." The old man took out two bowls from the crossbody bag and handed them to Mu Xiu, Mu Xiu didn't take it, just glanced at the two bowls, the bowls were broken, but the bowls were wiped clean.

"Uncle, if you want to do this, don't eat it." Zhou Shuilian couldn't help but bow her face.

It was the first time for the old man to meet someone who didn't dislike them, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and the old lady's mouth was trembling, and she couldn't say anything.

"Eat it, it'll be cold in a while." Mu Xiu served the rice and handed the old man a bowl first, and then a bowl to the old woman.

The two of them have been hungry for a long time, so they picked up the bowl and began to eat, Mu Xiu made thin noodles, easy to digest, the two of them hadn't eaten for two days, and they should not eat too much, the noodles were filled with meat floss made for Mu Xiaohua, and the eggs Mu Xiu beat scattered, and the frangipani looked like the bowl was full.

The old man devoured a bowl quickly, he looked at the pot, licked his lips, and reached for the pot.

"Uncle, if you eat this bowl again, you won't be able to eat it." Mu Xiu took the bowl and filled him with another bowl.

"That'...... I won't eat it, let's give this bowl to the old woman. The old man handed the bowl in his hand to the old woman and took her empty bowl.

"Uncle, you misunderstood, you haven't eaten for a few days, you can't eat too much at a time, otherwise your stomach will be uncomfortable." Mu Xiu saw that the old man had misunderstood what she meant, and couldn't help but explain with a wry smile.

"Alas, we are so old, who knows if we have eaten the last meal and the next meal, and we can go on the road at any time when we are full." The old man said with a smile, but there was a trace of tears in his eyes.

Mu Xiu put the empty bowl in it again and handed it to the old man, who wiped his face and ate it.

Zhou Shuilian felt uncomfortable again, her parents didn't love her, but her grandparents were very good to her, and they kept anything delicious for her. It's just that the parents didn't want to see their grandparents, and finally drove them to live in the grass hut at the door, and the grandparents both passed away in a very cold winter, and since then, no one has ever cared for Zhou Shuilian.

The two old men in front of her, with gray hair and cautious appearance, really looked like her grandparents.

"You're all getting old, and now you're doing well, why did you come out to beg for food." Zhou Shuilian couldn't help but ask.

"There was a big flood in my hometown last year, and the houses and land were all flooded, and the villagers came out to flee the famine, but we were separated from our son-in-law and came all the way here." The old man replied.

"Is there only one son-in-law?" Zhou Shuilian asked.

"Originally, there was a son and a daughter, the youngest son went to the army, and he was gone for ten years, without any news, everyone said that he was definitely no longer alive, and the eldest daughter had no in-laws, so she took us over to live together, who expected that she died of a sudden illness two years ago, and her son-in-law found another one in less than a year." The old man said with a sigh.

The saddest thing in the world is that the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, and this old couple has experienced it twice, which is really pitiful.
