Chapter 299: Meeting the Old Couple Again

"Uncle Qian is good at craftsmanship. If I need it, I will definitely go to you." Mu Xiu said with a smile.

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

Mu Xiu put away the keys, gave Xiaoqian and walked out of the door, closed the door, took out a complete set of kitchen pots, pans, spoons, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar from the space, and placed them all out. There were dozens of kilograms of honeycomb coal, which were neatly placed near the stove.

In the yard, two sets of dustpan and broom were prepared, and each room in the house was placed with a set of mattress and a set of quilts.

The city is now powered up. If it is cold in winter, you can use electric blankets. There are toilets in the private courtyard and fixed people will clean the septic tank regularly.

There is a shower room built next to the tap pool. Although it is not as convenient as the shower room designed in the countryside, the large bathhouse in the city is even warmer.

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

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

"You kid, I thought you could only arrive at the county town in the evening. I was going to wait for you in the afternoon. I didn't expect you to come back too early." Mushui said.

"I didn't want my father to come this time, it seems that it's time to come back." Mu Xiu was speechless.

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

"I'll go change my clothes first." Mu Xiu turned around and entered the bedroom. When she changed her clothes and came out, Zhou Shuilian had already put a bowl of noodles for her and brought it over.

Mu Xiu was also hungry and finished her meal in a short while. She leaned back with satisfaction, next to the chair, and said with satisfaction: "It's still comfortable at home."

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

"By the way, this is all the things that Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu asked me to bring back. Mom, please clean it up." Mu Xiu said, pointing to the pile of things.

"Their family are really good people." Zhou Shuilian sighed.

"This time I went, I paid back all the money I owed Lu Yuan and bought a tractor. Someone should be sending it in a few days." Mu Xiu's words were like a stone falling into the water, causing turbulence.

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

"Yes, mom." Mu Xiu had expected everyone to be surprised, and she had already thought of the reason.

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

"More than five thousand yuan, my god." Mushui exclaimed first.

"That's so pitiful to the old man. If he had this five thousand yuan, he would be able to spend his old age in peace." Zhou Shuilian sighed.

"Now, the two of them don't know where they are going." Mu Xiaocao also felt a little uncomfortable. After all, the old couple looked so pitiful.

"You don't have to think so much. This was given to us by that old man. If it weren't for us, they might not have been able to last for two days. When they have the opportunity to see them in the future, they should be nice to them." Mu Xiu comforted.

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.

But Mu Xiu didn't expect that reality would soon be slapped in the face.

"Shuilian, open the door." Mu Shui knocked outside the door.

Zhou Shuilian looked at everyone in confusion, walked forward quickly, opened the door, and asked strangely: "Didn't you go to the market? Why did you have been away for a long time and come back?"

"Dad, I forgot to bring something." Mu Xiu also came over and greeted Mu Shui.

"No, you see who I brought back?" Mushui said in surprise, then pulled the ox cart into the yard.

The people in the room were attracted by the two old men in the car. Aren’t these two old men who Mu Xiu hadn’t gone to save money to beg for money? But everyone immediately thought of the copper coin.

"Sister, you bring the old man and the old lady into the house first. My mother and I will give you some hot noodle soup and give it to the two of us to warm up." Mu Xiu said with a wink at Mu Xiaocao.

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

"Dad, mother, Brother Chen, don't tell them about this money for the time being. We can't afford such a lot of money now. Let's ask them what's going on first." Mu Xiu said whispered.

"It's all for now." Zhou Shuilian also knew that 5,000 yuan was not a small amount. She said it rashly now that her family couldn't make up such a lot of money.

Mushui and Chen Xuhui nodded beside each other.

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

"I was on the way to the market and saw them sitting by the tree. I saw that the clothes looked familiar. When I got closer, I found that it was them. I thought, we can't just take them back as much money as we did." Mu Shui said silly.

Mu Xiu was speechless. If she had known she would have met them, she would not use the copper coin as a reason no matter what.

Soon, Zhou Shuilian got the noodles and Mu Xiu took them in.

The old man and the old lady didn’t eat for another two days, just like last time. However, they had been away for more than ten days, so why did they get out of this distance?

"Uncle, auntie, we meet again, it's a fate. Where are you going?" Zhou Shuilian asked first.

"It's really God's mercy, and we're going to meet our benefactors again." The old man wiped his tears and continued, "In the early years, I had a nephew in Ningxia and hadn't been in contact for a long time. This time I was going to beg all the way to join him."

"Oh my God, it's more than a thousand kilometers. It takes more than a year to walk. Can you get there? Is there any 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 he can find it." The old man took out a letter from his bag. The envelope was yellowed, and the handwriting on it had faded, and only half of it.

Mu Xiu took it and saw that the address above only wrote the Ningxia Postal Bureau, and there was nothing else.

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

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

Suddenly, Mu Xiu understood everything. This son-in-law lied to help them find their nephew in order to abandon these two old people. There was no one to find such an address. Moreover, he did not forget to tear off the specific address of the old man to prevent anyone from sending them back according to the address.
