Du Wanchun was not anxious after hearing this, but instead poured her a cup of tea.
"Sister Wu, don't be impatient and speak slowly."
Madam Wu took a sip of tea and continued: "Those two little kids don't know anything. They came to Cheng'an County alone and don't know where they went."
Du Wanchun comforted her and said: "Mianmian and Qing'er have always been smart, and they are smarter than other children. I guess they will come back later." ?.?????.???
"Really?" Madam Wu wondered.
As soon as she finished speaking, someone said at the door of the shop: "Is this the Zhou Family Rice Shop?"
Madam Wu and Du Wanchun looked up.
"That's right, this is the Zhou Family Rice Shop, who are you?"
The little boy and the little girl brought Mianmian and Qing'er forward and said exactly what Mianmian taught them.
Mrs. Wu was overjoyed and strode over quickly. She gave Xiao Qing'er a slap on the butt, and then held Xiao Mianmian in her hands. "You two are so courageous. How can you run out like this and be betrayed?" manage?"
As she spoke, she looked at the two children at the door and said, "Fortunately, I met a kind person, otherwise you wouldn't be able to come back."
Xiao Qing'er stood aside and lowered her head obediently.
Du Wanchun walked slowly and looked at the two children.
It was winter now, and the two children were wearing tattered shoes, and their toes were exposed and turned red from the cold.
"Thank you both for saving my daughter."
Du Wanchun said, turned around and took out a small bag of silver from the house and handed it to them, "These are thank you gifts."
She could see Xiao Mianmian's little plan at a glance, but these two children were indeed pitiful, and they really sent Xiao Mianmian and the others back, so she deserved to be thanked.
The little boy hesitated for a moment, then took the money and thanked him quickly: "Thank you, shopkeeper."
Du Wanchun stood up slowly and said, "Go back quickly. It's cold today. Remember to buy two pairs of shoes to wear."
The little boy pulled his sister and saluted Du Wanchun quickly, then turned around and left in a hurry.
Du Wanchun got up and went back to the house. She did not blame Xiao Qing'er for taking Xiao Mianmian out without permission.
She even knew that he was reluctant to leave here.
She took her two children into the house, poured a bowl of hot soup for each of them, and said, "Xiao Qing'er, do you know how long it takes to get from Beidiyang City to Cheng'an County?"
Xiao Qinger shook her head.
Du Wanchun didn't care whether they could understand or not, and continued: "It takes at least ten days to get from Yangcheng to Cheng'an County, but it can only take five days at the fastest."
Xiao Qing'er was stunned for a moment, "Five days?"
Du Wanchun smiled slowly and said: "Yes, it will only take five days at the fastest. If you miss us in the future, you can come back at any time."
"But the most important thing is, will you be willing to spend five days to find us Mianmian?"
Xiao Qing'er quickly responded seriously: "Aunt Wan Chun, I will be back, even if it takes ten days, I will be back."
Du Wanchun pinched his little cheek, "Look, you will come back, so why worry about not seeing little Mianmian in the future? Don't worry about going back. As long as you have this intention, no matter how long the distance is, nothing can stop you."
After hearing this, Xiao Qing'er nodded in understanding.
Although he was not sure whether he could understand the meaning, he did not bother to go home again after that.
Madam Wu also breathed a deep sigh of relief.
At night, when the family was preparing to return to Changliu Village, a woman came in from outside. She was pale and skinny, bent over and coughing, and said: "Shopkeeper, are you there?"
Du Wanchun heard the sound and looked over, "Madam, what do you want from me?"
The woman took out a bag of silver from her arms and said, "My son brought a bag of silver here today. He said it was a thank you gift from you."
Du Wanchun nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed my thank you gift to him."
The woman quickly put the bag of silver on the table and said, "Shopkeeper, this money is too much, we can't afford it."
Du Wanchun took the silver bag, put it back in her hand and said, "Your son sent my daughter back. This money is what she deserves."
The woman withdrew her hand and did not take the money. "This is absolutely impossible. There is too much money. I can't take this money."
She said, coughing violently.
"mother!"
The little boy outside the house ran in, supported the woman and said, "Mom, you are short of money for treatment now. Let's go to the doctor first."
The woman waved her hands and said, "That's all, my disease cannot be cured."
As he spoke, he frowned and lowered his voice: "I can't watch you become a bad person because of these money."
"Madam, accepting the gift of thanks is not considered a bad example." Madam Wu came over and said.
The woman bent over, coughed, and shook her head: "No, no, I asked them, they were not the ones who sent your children back at all. They were the ones who stopped your children halfway and wanted to steal the money. It was the lady and The young master saw us as pitiful, so he said that."
Madam Wu looked surprised, "What, robbing money?"
