    Who could it be?

    Liu Zhe was curious. He had just arrived here and he must have no acquaintances. Could it be that he was here to see the horseman?  Liu Zhe opened the door full of doubts.

    Opening the door, Liu Zhe found an old couple outside.  Their clothes were shabby, their faces were dirty, they were carrying baggage, dusty and dusty, their faces were full of weariness, and they both had the air of an old man.

    "Master, please give me something to eat." Seeing Liu Zhe opening the door, the two of them knelt down and begged Liu Zhe to give them something to eat.

    "Hey, you guys get up first." Liu Zhe was startled. It was the first time he encountered such a thing. He was holding Xiao Xinxin and it was inconvenient to help the two of them up, so he could only try his best to pull them up.

    "Don't kneel down, come in, I still have some food." Liu Zhe couldn't refuse the two of them. One look at the two of them revealed that they had been hungry for a long time. It was amazing that they persisted in coming here.

    Liu Zhe brought some of the remaining food for the day to the two of them, and the two of them ate hungrily. They finished the bowl of porridge very quickly, and their enthusiasm was inconsistent with their status as old people.

    They finished the half-cooked rice porridge in a blink of an eye.  When they finished eating, the two of them remembered that the owner was still standing next to them.

    The two old people, a man and a woman, are about fifty years old, maybe a little younger, because they may have been exposed to the sun and rain, so they look older. Liu Zhe can't tell their age anyway.

    "Thank you, sir, for saving my life." The old man took the old woman and knelt down with a plop.

    "Hey, get up quickly." Liu Zhe almost fainted, and finally understood that people who watched ancient TV dramas often knelt down. It turned out to be a tradition.

    The combined age of the two old men was several times that of Liu Zhe. Liu Zhe didn't dare to let them kneel down, so he quickly jumped aside and told them to get up quickly.

    After finally getting them to stand up and sit down, Liu Zhe breathed a sigh of relief.

    Liu Zhe asked about their situation.  I learned from the old man's mouth that the old man called Xi Zhaoxi because there was a drought at home, so he took his wife to seek refuge with his nephew.

    After a hard journey, climbing mountains and wading through rivers to get here, they found that their nephews had gone on a march and they didn¡¯t know when they would come back. What¡¯s more serious is that the food they brought had long been eaten.  Unable to find their nephew, the two were reduced to begging.

    Today they have been begging all day, but no one is willing to give alms. They came to take pictures of Liu Zhe's door with a chance mentality. If there is really no food, they will starve to death soon.

    "Then what are you going to do next?" Liu Zhe didn't expect that the two of them would be so miserable, and he couldn't bear it.

    ¡°I want to find a place to settle down until my nephew comes back.¡± Xi Zhaoxi said that it was impossible for the two of them to go home due to their physical condition. They came to join their nephew because they planned to come to his home to take care of themselves in old age.

    "What if he doesn't come back?" Liu Zhe asked.

    "I don't know about this either." Xi Zhaoxi had not considered this question. After being asked, he could only smile and shake his head, planning to take it one step at a time.

    "Will the aunt take care of the children?" Liu Zhe asked the play hall. His wife had been hiding behind the play hall and did not dare to show her face in front of Liu Zhe.

    "Sir, what do you mean?" Xi Zhaoxi was startled, not understanding what Liu Zhe meant.

    "You stay here." Liu Zhe said, "I have a lot of vacant rooms here. You can live here now and wait for your nephew to come back. I just hope that aunt can help me take care of my sister."

    Liu Zhe was already considering this idea after seeing the two people at the theater just now.  One is that he has sympathy for the two of them, and the other is that he doesn't know how to take care of a child, especially a baby. He needs someone to help take care of Xiao Xinxin.

    "Really?" When the theater director heard this, he looked surprised.

    "How is it?" Liu Zhe asked.

    "Yes, yes." Xi Zhaoxi quickly nodded in agreement. He pulled his wife to kneel down again and said, "My mother-in-law knows how to take care of children. She has taken care of children before."

    "Really? That's the best." Liu Zhe was very happy to hear this. He could breathe a sigh of relief because his wife, who was at the theater, could help take care of Xiao Xinxin.

    "You all get up." Liu Zhe motioned to the two of them not to kneel. He said, "I don't like kneeling here, so don't kneel all the time. Do you understand?"

    "Yes, sir." Xi Zhaoxi pulled his wife to stand up and nodded in reply. He had already entered the role and regarded himself as Liu Zhe's servant.

    "Wow" Xiao Xinxin cried and Liu Zhe smiled bitterly. Did she know that she had found a nanny for her and was about to give it a try?

    "Auntie, here you go, help me." LiuZhe said politely to his wife who was attending the banquet.

    The wife at the theater was very cautious. She looked at her hands and saw that her hands were dirty. She quickly ran outside to wash her hands and put on a clean dress before coming in and said: "Yes, yes, master  .¡±

    She carefully took Xiao Xinxin!

    Not to mention, the wife at the play hall does know how to take care of children. She hugged Xiao Xinxin and gently rocked her twice, and Xiao Xinxin's crying stopped.

    Liu Zhe couldn't help but be delighted to see that this aunt was so attentive!

    "Xiao Lao, what's your nephew's name?" Liu Zhe asked casually.

    "Xi Zhicai"
