Chapter 213 Picking up a wallet
Chapter 213 Picking up a wallet
Mingxu and Xiaoxin met Nini on the road, and Nini followed them and wanted to play games together.
"Xiao Xin, Xiao Xu, what should we play?" Nini asked the two brothers.
"Let's go play hide and seek in the park." Xiao Xinwenyan replied. He had nothing to do anyway.
"I don't want to play this." Nini shook her head and refused.
"Then what do you want to play? Do you want to go to your house and play hide and seek?" When Xiaoxin heard Nini's refusal, he thought she just wanted to go to the wrong place, so he changed the way he said it.
"No!" Nini's face turned black. How could her mother let them play hide-and-seek in her own home?
"Hey. Xiaoxin, I think Nini doesn't want to play hide-and-seek because she is not in the right place." Mingxu held his forehead with his hand. This kid usually has a high EQ, but he is pretending to be stupid again.
"Yes...what are you looking at?" Nini was about to say something when she saw Xiaoxin squatting down and looking at the ground, walking towards her curiously.
"Isn't this a wallet? However, this thing looks familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere?" Mingxu thought while touching his chin, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a moment.
"Look, this wallet is playing hide-and-seek." Shin-chan said calmly while looking at the wallet.
"I don't think it's playing hide-and-seek voluntarily." Mingxu shrugged.
"That was dropped by someone." Nini couldn't help but say as she looked at the two of them.
Xiaoxin picked it up casually, then opened the wallet and took a look. Nini also came over: "Wow, that's a lot of money."
"Oh." Xiao Xin nodded, then stuffed his wallet into his pants, turned around and shouted: "Okay, let's go."
"You kid, do you want to keep it all for yourself?" Mingxu tilted his head and looked at Xiaoxin.
"No, let's go buy some cookies." Shin-chan smiled and tilted his head.
"No! This was dropped by someone else! You can't do this! You'll be considered a thief!" Nini felt something was wrong as she listened to the conversation between the two and shouted hurriedly.
"Oh, really." Xiao Xinyan looked at the convenience store not far away and walked towards it. Nini followed him puzzled. When Mingxu saw this store, he knew that this kid just wanted to spend the money. He shook his head and was about to go up to stop him.
When I got closer, I heard Xiaoxin say to the boss: "This wallet fell on the ground. I brought it here specially."
"...What's the point of sending it to the store?" Nini said to Xiaoxin with a frown on her face.
"Oh, then I want a box of cookies." Xiaoxin said as he was about to open his wallet to take out money.
"...It's not like that!" Nini shouted in a panic.
Mingxu went up and grabbed Xiaoxin. He couldn't remember who it belonged to for the time being, so he simply gave it to the uncle and asked the uncle to help find the owner.
"That's right, he should be sent to the police station." Nini saw the direction Mingxu was taking Xiaoxin and nodded with satisfaction.
"Sorry, we..." Mingxu shouted as he looked inside, but it was empty, as if no one was there.
"Is anyone there?" Nini shouted inside.
"It seems like no one is here." Mingxu looked around and shook his head.
"Then let's go." Xiaoxin said and was about to leave with his wallet.
"Xiao Xin!" Nini shouted when she saw this.
"Good afternoon. Sorry to have kept you waiting." At this time, an uncle delivering ramen came in and said embarrassedly.
"Who are you?" Nini asked the uncle.
"Ah? I'm bringing you ramen." The uncle scratched his head and raised the takeaway in his hand.
"But there's no one here now." Xiao Xin said to the uncle.
"Really? This is not the ramen you ordered?" the uncle asked again without giving up.
"It wasn't us who called out, but it should have been the uncle who called out." Mingxu reminded.
"That makes sense, but I'm not here right now. What should I do?" The uncle was a little anxious. He couldn't keep waiting.
"Hey, are you delivering ramen?" At this time, an uncle came out from the inner room and asked the man.
"Yes, that's right, did you order ramen?" the uncle asked again.
"Yes, I ordered it." The uncle nodded.
"Okay, here you go. I'll come collect the bowls later." The uncle handed the ramen to the uncle.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." After taking his ramen, the uncle waved goodbye to the old man.
"Children, you. Hey, aren't you the two children we met at the venue last time? You seem to be Xiaoxu and Xiaoxin, right?" The uncle looked at the children below, thought for a while and said.
"Hi, uncle, long time no see." Mingxu greeted with a smile.
"Uncle, do you live here? How much is the rent per month?" Xiao Xin had a strange train of thought and asked while looking at the house in front of him.
"You're wrong, I don't live here." The uncle smiled and shook his head.
"Oh, you are staying here as a guest." Xiaoxin nodded.
"Come on, this is my office! Stop talking nonsense, kid." Mingxu said while pressing Xiaoxin.
"By the way, uncle, we found a wallet with a lot of money in it." Nini said, pointing at the wallet in Xiaoxin's hand.
"Oh, so you found the wallet and brought it here specially. Well, come in quickly." The uncle smiled when he heard it.
"You're so happy when you hear about money." Xiao Xin said to the uncle with narrowed eyes.
"...Don't talk nonsense, uncle. I'm not that kind of person! I'm sorry, uncle, my brother was just talking nonsense." Mingxu apologized hurriedly.
"It's okay." The uncle waved his hands. He couldn't really bother with the kid.
After a few people came in, the uncle began to ask some detailed questions.
"Okay, please tell me where you found the wallet?"
"There's no wallet there anymore, you don't have to pick it up." Shin-chan answered without thinking.
"That's not what I meant..." the uncle said helplessly to Xiaoxin.
"We picked it up on xx Street." Mingxu looked at the uncle and recalled the place name.
"Oh, good, Xiaoxu is really smart." The uncle nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, what about me?" Shin-chan asked immediately when he saw his brother being praised.
"Um, this... that..." The uncle was a little embarrassed. Should this kid say that he is good or bad?
"Sure enough, I'm not a good kid..." Upon seeing this, Xiaoxin immediately turned around and leaned on the back of the chair and said.
"No, of course you are a good kid, you are very smart." The uncle felt that this sentence went against his own thoughts.
"You still say I'm handsome." Xiaoxin said without turning his head, still leaning on the back of the chair.
"..." The uncle looked at Mingxu for help. He could see that this kid was the leader.
"Okay, stop making things difficult for me." Mingxu lived up to everyone's expectations and turned Xiaoxin around. Xiaoxin looked at Mingxu angrily because he had disrupted his plans.
"Okay, tell me your contact address." The uncle shook his head, recorded some details, and asked for the addresses of several people.
"Contact address?" Nini looked confused. Why did she need an address?
"Are you planning to kidnap us now?" Xiao Xinyan looked at the uncle with a dark face and asked.
"Ah!" Nini exclaimed when she saw this.
"..you kid, stop making trouble. Uncle is not that kind of person!" Mingxu covered Xiaoxin's mouth with his hand and said awkwardly.
"Oh, that's not what I meant. I want your address because when we find the owner, maybe we can give you some reward." The uncle sighed.
When it comes to bonus, Shin-chan immediately imagines himself buying a bunch of cookies with the bonus.
"Hey, hey, hey, wake up, you think too much." Mingxu waved his hand to break Xiaoxin's fantasy.
"Yes, Xiaoxin, your imagination is too rich. The bonus should not be much." The uncle also shook his head.
"Then let's find the owner as soon as possible!" Xiaoxin urged.
"I wish the missing person was so easy to find." Mingxu rolled his eyes at Xiaoxin.
"Okay, what's in the wallet? Oh, there's 5,000 island dollars in cash, some receipts, and lipstick and eye shadow." The uncle said as he checked the wallet.
“So, the owner of the wallet is a woman.” Mingxu said, touching his chin. However, it felt more familiar. Among the people he knew, a woman... Thinking of this, Mingxu's mouth twitched suddenly. Could this be Meiya's...
Suddenly Mingxu saw a man holding a child running towards him from outside the door, shouting, "Comrade Uncle, my wallet is lost!"
"...Mom, is this your wallet?" Mingxu asked, pointing at the wallet in the uncle's hand.
"Xiao Xu, Xiao Xin, Nini, why are you here? Oh, this is it! That's great." Mei Ya was so excited when she saw the wallet in the uncle's hand.
"Oh, is this yours? Tell me what's inside?" the uncle asked.
"There are five thousand dollars. Also receipts, lipstick, eye shadow and some cosmetics..." Meiya muttered while counting on her fingers.
"Yes, it appears to be yours. This kid is the one who picked up the wallet." The uncle handed the wallet to Meiya and pointed at Xiaoxin and said.
"Oh, that's great." When Miya saw that the wallet was picked up by Shin-chan, she immediately became happy.
"Xiaoxu, why is mom so happy?" Xiaoxin looked at Mingxu in confusion.
"Because Mom wants to stop giving bonuses." Mingxu knows Meiya quite well.
“..Do I have to give it to him? This is my son?” Meiya looked at the uncle and asked.
"Well, this is the rule." The uncle said with sweat on his forehead.
"Well, okay." Mei-ya reluctantly gave Xiao-xin one tenth of the amount, and Xiao-xin happily took the prize. But after returning, he was cheated by Mei-ya. Ming-xu looked at Xiao-xin who had nothing to show for it and shook his head. ?(???)?
