Chapter 199 Old House Treasure Hunt
Susie smiled with crooked eyebrows, and said very cooperatively: "It's still Uncle Xu's big face, and this sleeper ticket is difficult to buy." β
Xu Zhihui was very useful, "It's okay, it's easy to do things if you have acquaintances." β
Susie looked at the ticket price and quickly took the money out of her pocket.
Xu Zhihui watched her take out a stack of big solidarity and wave his hand, "Forget it, you don't have to give the money." β
Thinking about the past ten years, he hasn't done anything for Susie, Susie is now in the countryside, and life is hard, she can also improve her life with more money in her hand.
Susie didn't expect Xu Zhi to be so generous, the four soft sleeper tickets together were more than two hundred, and she sincerely thanked her again, "Thank you, Uncle Xu." β
Xu Zhihui wanted to speak and stopped.
I didn't think it before, but now I always feel that this "Uncle Xu" sounds very harsh.
is obviously his own daughter, but he wants to call him uncle!
However, Xu Zhihui didn't dare to bring up the matter of Susie changing his words now, in the past few days, he has been scolded by Susie several times, and Susie did not hesitate to refuse the matter of changing his name, and he also saw that Susie did not have the slightest attachment to him and this family.
Xu Zhihui could only sigh silently in his heart, it was difficult to pull back his daughter's heart, forget it, take your time.
He stood up, "Then I'll go, rest early." β
Susie said very obediently: "Uncle Xu, I'll send you out." β
Sending Xu Zhihui to the gate of the guest house downstairs, Xu Zhihui instructed: "The car the day after tomorrow morning, I have to go to work, and I don't have time to send you, you should be careful on the road yourself." β
"By the way, your grandparentsβ"
Xu Zhihui thought for a while, and took out twenty yuan from his pocket, "I don't have time here, so you can buy some New Year's goods, and say that I gave them them." β
Susie pushed the money back, "Okay, don't worry, I'll do it for you as soon as you explain it." β
Xu Zhihui nodded and said again, "Remember to write a letter." Then he left.
Susie went upstairs, knocked on the door of Qiao Mu's room, and took out the ticket in her pocket when she entered, "No need to queue, Uncle Xu helped buy the ticket." β
She gave one arbor and one to Uncle Liao,
Zhu Zhicheng stretched out his hand, "How much is this ticket, I'll give it to you." β
Susie handed him the ticket, "Don't ask for money, Uncle Xu confiscated my money." β
Zhu Zhicheng was shocked when he saw the ticket price, sixty-two yuan! This soft sleeper is too expensive! The hard seat is only about 20 yuan!
He thought about it, the ticket money must be given to Susie, but when he got on the train, he could ask those hard-seat passengers if they wanted to change to sleepers, and just make up the difference.
Uncle Liao was also shocked when he saw the fare, he had taken the train so many times, and he only took the sleeper twice after following Susie out, he really didn't expect the soft sleeper to be so expensive.
His expenses all the way were paid by Susie, and he felt that he didn't help him this time, and he originally planned to have a good fight with the Taoist priest who hurt Susie.
However, Uncle Liao didn't say anything to give money, his fate with Susie was still long, not at this time.
Zhu Zhicheng counted sixty-two yuan next to him and handed it to Susie.
Susie pushed back, "Brother Zhu, I really don't need to." β
"If I spend money, then I will accept this money, but I didn't spend a penny, it was all Uncle Xu's money, if you give me money again, then I won't become a ticket seller?"
She smiled and said, "You just need to get Uncle Xu's favor." β
When Zhu Zhicheng heard Susie say this, he knew that the money could not be given.
Moreover, in this way, his previous idea of selling soft sleeper tickets did not work.
There is no reason to exchange the things that are obtained for nothing.
Zhu Zhicheng had no choice but to put the ticket away, secretly noted down Susie's favor in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh, "Actually, Uncle Xu is quite good to you." β
At least much stronger than his parents.
Susie smiled and didn't refute.
How to say it, money is not something Xu Zhi cares about, all he cares about is his future.
However, Susie really received Xu Zhihui's love today.
Susie gave the ticket and went back to her room to rest.
After breakfast the next day, Uncle Liao called Zhu Zhicheng to take him around, and Susie and Qiao Mu went to the old house of Qiao Mu's family.
The old house was in the suburbs, and the two went to the station to buy tickets, and it took almost an hour to get there.
It's not the time of day, it's cold, and there's not much people walking around.
Qiao Mu took Susie's hand, and the two walked around the village for a while without meeting anyone.
Qiao Mu pointed to an old house with blue bricks and black tiles in front of him, "That's it." β
As she got closer, Susie saw a lock hanging from the courtyard door.
Qiao Mu took out the key to open the lock, and then pushed the door in.
The yard was overgrown with weeds, almost submerging the ground.
Susie was a little afraid to put her foot down, thanks to the fact that it was winter, and if it was spring and summer, I didn't know what would be hidden in the weeds here.
Qiao Mu reflexively bolted the door and pulled Susie forward.
Susie asked curiously, "How long has this house not been inhabited?" β
Qiao Mu said: "It's been seven or eight years, and this place has been empty since my grandmother passed away. β
"I came to see Gui Province before I went to Gui Province and changed a few locks."
He dragged Susie around the back of the house, took out a knife, and carefully pried a brick out from under the wall.
The bricks were a little loose, and when the bricks were pulled out, Qiao Mu pulled out the bricks, then pulled out a brick next to it, and then took out an iron box from the hole in the wall.
The tin box is a colorful biscuit box, and Qiao Mu opens the box, and there are several stacks of bundled banknotes inside.
Susie was shocked when she saw it, the green one is the US dollar, yes, there are hundreds of visual inspections with a face value of one hundred, which is tens of thousands of dollars, more Hong Kong dollars, there are three stacks, and each stack should be 10,000 depending on the thickness.
In addition to the US dollar and Hong Kong dollar, there is also some jewelry inside.
At that time, Qiao Mu's father was also worried that these dollars and Hong Kong dollars would become some bad evidence, so he decided to hide it.
Qiao Mu took out a stack of dollars and handed it to Susie, "Are these enough?" β
Susie was startled and didn't answer, "No need for so many, two is enough." β
Qiao Mu thought for a moment, took out ten bills and stuffed them into his arms, then tied up the banknotes and put them in the box.
Then close the box, stuff it into the hole in the wall, and finally stuff the brick back in.
Susie looked at the side, pointed to the base of the wall, and said, "There are still some cracks here." β
The arbor made some soil and carefully filled in the gaps.
The two stood up, and Susie looked at some marks on the ground, and walked around with the arbor, stepping on it everywhere, until there seemed to be nothing around, and then the two went around the backyard.
Walking to the front yard, Susie looked at the house, which was three bays, and it looked quite deep and large.
Qiao Mu also stopped and looked, with some emotion, "My uncle and my father were both born here. β
"I heard my dad say that the family originally had hundreds of acres of land, but later they were sold one after another for my uncle and my dad to study and do revolution, and in the end there were only a few acres of land left."
