...

It seemed that he was moved by the prospects described by Xiao Xiao, and the old man couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.

After a long while, the old man finally grinned.

"Then little friend Xiao Xiao, the old man is not welcome."

"Thank you very much."

The big stone in his heart dropped, and the old man felt his whole body relaxed.

"Sometimes the old man thinks that he is really lucky to know little friend Xiao Xiao."

The problem that had troubled him for so many days was solved by Xiao Xiao in an understatement.

After this time, no, after the last time Xiao Xiao helped him go to the appointment, he understood that he was really lucky to know Xiao Xiao.

"do not worry."

The old man patted his chest and promised, "The old man asked you to borrow this money. I will write you an IOU."

"The old man will pay you back as soon as possible."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "You are hospitalized now, so don't force yourself."

"After your nephew pays back the money, you can pay me back."

...

The old man had already decided in his heart that he would set a repayment period for Xiaofeng.

So that the child won't be delayed too long.

He himself is older.

If you want to make money, you don’t have the ability.

However, his appearance gave him a good reason to "collect debt".

If the other party takes a long time to repay the loan, it may not matter whether he is there or not.

At his age, he could leave at any time.

...

The old man wrote an IOU to Xiao Xiao.

"When that kid Xiaofeng writes me an IOU, I will give you his IOU."

"But don't worry, I will urge Xiaofeng."

When he gave the IOU to Xiao Xiao, he didn't mean to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

It just makes little friend Xiao Xiao feel more at ease.

...

"good."

Xiao Xiao actually didn't care whether the old man gave him an IOU.

Since he decided to lend money to the old man, it shows that he trusts the old man.

He is willing to bear any possible consequences for his trust.

However, he doesn't care...

He knew that the old man cared.

If the old man could feel more at ease because of the IOU, he wouldn't mind accepting the IOU.

...

After having lunch with the old man, Xiao Xiao said goodbye.

"Mr. Zhao, please take a rest."

"I go first."

"I'll see you next time."

"Why."

The old man responded.

"Little friend Xiao Xiao."

The old man sat on the hospital bed and looked at Xiao Xiao seriously, "Thank you very much."

"You really helped the old man solve a big problem."

"I don't know how to thank you..."

In addition to saying thank you again and again...

He is just an old man with nothing to offer.

The only things he cherishes most are Hu Zi and the friends he met during the journey.

For example... Xiaomei.

The old man felt very sorry.

Once again he was troubled by his "uselessness".

...

"Mr. Zhao."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Thank you for giving me the gift before."

"Give it to you?"

The old man was puzzled.

He didn't give Xiao Xiao anything.

"Those adventure stories of yours...and-"

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows arched, "The pearl Xiaomei gave me."

"These are great gifts."

...

The old man waved his hand, "Those stories... are my thanks for your willingness to listen to me, an old man, nag."

"The pearl was given to you by Xiaomei and has nothing to do with me."

How can these be considered gifts from him?

...

"I think it's a great gift."

Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.

"If Mr. Zhao hadn't asked me to do this, if it wasn't for Mr. Zhao's name, I wouldn't have met Xiaomei."
