After hearing this, Du Wanchun was not in a hurry, but poured her a cup of tea.

"Sister Wu, don't be anxious, just talk slowly."

Mrs. Wu took a sip of tea and continued, "They are two little kids who don't know anything. They came to Cheng'an County alone, and I don't know where they went."

Du Wanchun comforted her and said, "Mianmian and Qing'er have always been smart, smarter than ordinary children. I guess they will come back by themselves in a while."

"Really?" Mrs. Wu wondered.

As soon as she finished speaking, someone at the door of the shop said, "Is this Zhou's rice shop?"

Mrs. Wu and Du Wanchun looked up.

"Yes, this is Zhou's rice shop, who are you?"

The little boy and girl led Mianmian and Qing'er to them and said exactly what Mianmian had taught them.

Mrs. Wu was very surprised and walked over quickly. She slapped Qing'er on the butt first, and then held Mianmian in her arms. "You two are really brave. What if you run out like this and get sold?"

As she said this, she looked at the two children at the door and said, "Fortunately, we met a kind person, otherwise you would not be able to come back."

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 broken shoes, and their toes were exposed and were frozen red.

"Thank you two for saving my daughter."

Du Wanchun said, turning around and taking out a small bag of silver from the house and handed it to them, "These are thank you gifts."

She saw through Xiao Mianmian's little trick at a glance, but the two children were indeed pitiful, and they really sent Xiao Mianmian and the others back, so thanking them was appropriate.

The little boy hesitated for a moment, took the silver and thanked him quickly: "Thank you, shopkeeper."

Du Wanchun slowly stood up and said: "Go back quickly, it's cold, remember to buy two pairs of shoes to wear."

The little boy took 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 bringing Xiao Mianmian out privately.

She knew that he was reluctant to leave here.

She took the two children into the house, poured them each a bowl of hot soup, and said: "Xiao Qing'er, do you know how long it takes to get from Beidiyang City to Cheng'an County?"

Xiao Qing'er 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 the fastest is only five days."

Xiao Qing'er was stunned for a moment, "Five days?"

Du Wanchun smiled slowly and said, "Yes, it only takes 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 whether you are willing to spend five days to find our Mianmian."

Xiao Qing'er quickly responded seriously: "Aunt Wanchun, I will come back, even if it takes ten days, I will come back."

Du Wanchun pinched his little face, "Look, you will come back, so why worry about not seeing Xiao Mianmian in the future? Go back without worry, as long as you have this intention, no matter how long the distance is, it can't stop you."

Xiao Qing'er nodded after hearing this.

Although I'm not sure if he can understand the meaning, he has indeed stopped clamoring to not go home since then.

Mrs. Wu also breathed a sigh of relief.

At night, when the family was about to return to Changliu Village, a woman came in from outside. She was pale and skinny. She bent over and coughed while saying, "Boss, are you there?"

Du Wanchun looked over and said, "Madam, what do you want to see me for?"

The woman took out a bag of silver from her arms and said, "Today my son brought a bag of silver. He said it was your thank you gift to him."

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, "Boss, this is too much silver. We can't afford it."

Du Wanchun took the silver bag and put it back in her hand and said, "Your son sent my daughter back, and this silver is what he deserves."

The woman took back her hand and did not take the silver. "This is absolutely not allowed. The silver is too much. I can't take this silver."

As she said this, she coughed violently.

"Mom!"

The little boy outside ran in, supported the girl and said, "Mom, you are short of money for medical treatment, let's go find a doctor first."

The girl waved her hand and said, "Forget it, my disease can't be cured."

As she said that, she frowned and lowered her voice, "I can't watch you suffer because of this.

"Madam, accepting a thank-you gift is not considered bad." Madam Wu said. The woman bent over, coughed, and shook her head, saying, "No, no, I asked them, and they didn't send your child back at all. They stopped your child halfway and wanted to rob the money. The young lady and the young master felt sorry for us, so they said that." Madam Wu was surprised, "What, robbed the money?"
