Chapter 199 The Old House Treasure Hunt

Su Qian smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked, and said very cooperatively: "It's Uncle Xu's face, this sleeper ticket is hard to buy."

Xu Zhihui was very helpful, "Fortunately, it's easy to handle things with acquaintances."

Susie looked at the fare and hurriedly took out the money.

Xu Zhihui watched her take out a stack of big unity, and waved her hand, "Forget it, I don't need to give you the money."

Thinking about it, he hasn't done anything for Susie in the past ten years. Susie is in the countryside now, and her life is hard. She can improve her life with more money.

Su Qian didn't expect Xu Zhihui to be so generous. The four soft sleeper tickets together cost more than 200. She sincerely thanked him again, "Thank you, Uncle Xu."

Xu Zhihui hesitated to speak.

I didn't feel it before, but now I always feel that this "Uncle Xu" sounds very harsh.

She is clearly her biological daughter, yet she wants to call him uncle!
However, Xu Zhihui didn't dare to ask Su Qian to change his words now. In the past few days, he had been teased by Su Qian several times. Su Xi refused to change his name without hesitation. He has no attachment to this family at all.

Xu Zhihui could only sigh silently in his heart, it was very difficult to win back his daughter's heart, forget it, take your time.

He stood up, "Then I'm leaving, go to bed early."

Su Qian said very obediently: "Uncle Xu, I'll take you out."

Sending Xu Zhihui to the gate of the hostel downstairs, Xu Zhihui instructed: "I have to go to work in the morning of the day after tomorrow, and I don't have time to see you off. Be careful on your own way."

"By the way, where your grandparents—"

Xu Zhihui thought for a while, then took out 20 yuan from his pocket, "I don't have time, so you can use it to buy some new year's goods, and say I gave it to them."

Susie pushed the money back, "Okay, don't worry, I will take care of what you told me."

Xu Zhihui nodded and said, "Remember to write the letter." Then he left.

Su Qian went upstairs, knocked on the door of Qiao Mu's room, and took out the ticket in her pocket when she entered, "There's no need to line up, Uncle Xu helped buy the ticket."

She gave one to Qiao Mu and another to Uncle Liao,
Zhu Zhicheng stretched out his hand, "How much is this ticket, I'll give it to you."

Su Qian handed him the ticket, "No money, Uncle Xu confiscated my money."

Zhu Zhicheng was startled when he saw the ticket price, 62 yuan!This soft sleeper is too expensive!The hard seat is only twenty yuan!
He thought for a while, the fare must be given to Susie, but when he got on the train, he could ask those hard-seat passengers if they wanted to change sleeper berths, and just pay the difference.

Uncle Liao was also shocked when he saw the ticket price. He took the train so many times, and only took the sleeper twice when he came out with Su Qian. He really didn't expect the soft sleeper to be so expensive.

Susie paid for all his expenses along the way, and he felt that he didn't help much by coming here this time. Originally, he planned to have a good fight with the Taoist priest who harmed Susie.

However, Uncle Liao didn't say anything about giving money. The fate between him and Su Qian is still long, not at this moment.

Zhu Zhicheng counted 62 yuan and handed it to Susie.

Susie pushed back, "Brother Zhu, I really don't need it."

"If I spend money, then I will accept the money, but I didn't spend a penny, it was all paid by Uncle Xu, if you give me more money, then I won't be a ticket dealer?"

She said with a smile: "You can accept Uncle Xu's favor."

Hearing what Su Qian said, Zhu Zhicheng knew that the money would not be given out.

Moreover, in this way, his previous idea of ​​selling soft sleeper tickets would not work.

There is no reason to exchange things for nothing.

Zhu Zhicheng had no choice but to keep the ticket, and secretly remembered Su Qian's favor in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh, "Actually, Uncle Xu treats you very well."

At least much stronger than his parents.

Susie smiled and did not refute.

How should I put it, money is not something that Xu Zhihui cares about, all he cares about is his future.

However, Su Qian really got Xu Zhihui's love today.

Susie gave the ticket and went back to the room to rest.

After breakfast the next day, Uncle Liao asked Zhu Zhicheng to show him around, and Susie and Qiao Mu went to Qiao Mu's old house.

The old house was in the suburbs. The two went to the station to buy tickets, and it took almost an hour to get there.

It's the off-farm season, and the weather is cold, and there are few people walking around outside.

Qiao Mu held Susie's hand, and the two walked for a while in the village without meeting anyone.

Qiao Mu pointed to an old house with blue bricks and black tiles in front, "That's right there."

Walking closer, Susie saw a lock hanging on the yard door.

Qiao Mu took out the key and opened the lock, then opened the door and went in.

The yard was overgrown with weeds, almost flooding the ground.

Susie was a little afraid to step down. Fortunately, it was winter. If it were spring and summer, there would be something hidden in the weeds here.

Qiao Mu bolted the door back and pulled Susie forward.

Susie asked curiously, "How long has no one lived in this house?"

Qiao Mu said, "It's been seven or eight years. This place has been empty since my grandma passed away."

"I came to see it before I went to Gui Province and changed a few locks."

He dragged Susie around to the back of the house, took out a small knife, and carefully pried out a brick under the wall.

The brick was a little loose, and when the brick was pulled out, Qiao Mu pulled out the brick, then pulled out another brick next to it, and then took out an iron box from the hole in the wall.

The tin box was a colorful biscuit box. Qiao Mu opened the box, and there were several stacks of bundled banknotes inside.

Susie was shocked when she saw it. The green ones were US dollars, and there were hundreds of them with a denomination of [-], which amounted to tens of thousands of dollars.

In addition to US dollars and Hong Kong dollars, there are some jewelry inside.

Back then, Qiao Mu's father was also worried that these US dollars and Hong Kong dollars would become bad evidence, so he decided to hide them.

Qiao Mu took out a stack of dollars and handed them to Susie, "Are these enough?"

Susie was startled and didn't answer, "You don't need so many, two are enough."

After thinking for a while, Qiao Mu took out ten banknotes and stuffed them into his pocket, then tied up the banknotes and put them into the box again.

Then cover the box, stuff it into the hole in the wall, and finally plug the bricks back.

Susie looked at the side, pointed to the bottom of the wall and said, "There is still a gap here."

Arbor got some soil and carefully filled the gap.

The two stood up, Susie looked at some marks on the ground, pulled the arbor around, and stepped on it everywhere, until there was nothing else around, the two went out from the backyard.

Walking to the front yard, Susie took a look at the room. The room has three bays, and it looks quite deep and big.

Qiao Mu also stopped to look at it, feeling a little emotional, "Both my uncle and my dad were born here."

"I heard from my dad that there used to be hundreds of acres of land in the family, but they were sold one after another for the sake of my uncle and my dad's education and revolution. In the end, there were only a few acres of land left."
