Chapter 253 20 Euros

Lu Jingyao rarely refuses Xu Youyou, and this time is no exception.

Besides, he accompanied Xu Youyou to Finland just to make her have fun.

However, Xu Youyou still felt a little guilty about her temporary change of itinerary. After all, this was not just her personal behavior, but a ripple effect, and a large number of people behind her would have to change their itineraries as well.

It's impossible that Lu Jingyao had no idea about Xu Youyou's multiple temporary changes to her schedule, but he never brought it up.

"Do you think I'm weird?" Xu Youyou asked.

Lu Jingyao smiled and said, "You must have your reasons for doing things."

Xu Youyou glanced at the system panel in the air and couldn't explain the existence of the system to Lu Jingyao.

"I... I do have my own reasons... but if I can't explain it to you in my lifetime... will you blame me..." Xu Youyou asked.

Lu Jingyao looked at her seriously: "Everyone has their own secrets. If your secret is the foundation of your life, not only can you not tell me, but you can't tell your children in the future. Since it is a secret, you shouldn't tell anyone."

Xu Youyou's heart paused. Because of the secret she had concealed, she felt that she might never be able to be honest with her lover in her entire life.

Now Lu Jingyao's words seemed to have lifted the burden from her heart.

"Aren't you curious?" Xu Youyou couldn't help but ask.

Lu Jingyao said: "Of course I'm curious, but I don't want to embarrass you."

Xu Youyou smiled awkwardly. Although Lu Jingyao's words were touching, the existence of the system was the foundation of her life, and she was determined to take this secret into the coffin.

"Now that you have made the decision, don't worry about it anymore." Lu Jingyao said softly.

Xu Youyou nodded vigorously. After leaving her residence, she strode ahead, following the golden pointer of the system, and walked through this small Nordic city.

After walking in the snow for half an hour, Xu Youyou stopped.

In front of her was a grocery store.

It looked to be only about 30 or 40 square meters. There was an old man sitting behind the counter in the grocery store with a wooden face, staring at a book.

Hearing someone coming in, the old man raised his eyes from the book. Seeing a bunch of Chinese faces, the old man tentatively said, "You howl."

The old man's Mandarin had a strange tone, but everyone present understood it.

Xu Youyou felt the other party's kindness, nodded, and replied in a clear and loud voice: "Hello."

The old man listened to the sound and tried to learn it as well, but due to long-standing habit, even though he studied it seriously, the sound he made was still "you howl".

Xu Youyou asked: "Can you speak Mandarin?"

When the old man heard this, he was confused for a moment, and then he replied in Finnish: "I am trying to learn Chinese by myself, but it seems that the effect is not obvious. Your language is too complicated."

The Finnish translator who was accompanying them immediately translated the other party's words to Xu Youyou and others.

Xu Youyou didn't expect that the old man in front of her, who looked to be in his sixties, actually had such an endless desire to learn. Xu Youyou couldn't help but feel a little respect in her heart.

"Thank you for your recognition of Chinese. I wish you good luck in your studies." Xu Youyou said with a smile.

The Finnish old man also laughed and said, "You Chinese are always very friendly. Although I learn your language very slowly, I think it is very beautiful."

In a cold foreign country, Xu Youyou felt warm at heart when she received kindness from others.

The Finnish old man asked: "My store has a wide variety of items. Customers from China, you will definitely be able to find products that satisfy you here."

Xu Youyou's gaze followed the system's instructions and fell on the shelf behind the old man.

The items in the old man's grocery store are really diverse. Here you can buy skiing equipment, fishing equipment, as well as books and pots and pans. It is a real grocery store.

"Can I see this plate?" Xu Youyou asked softly.

After listening to the translator's explanation, the old man turned around happily and took a plate from the shelf behind him.

The plate is a beautiful tin red color all over, and it has obviously been well preserved by someone, and it still looks perfect.

"This thing originally belongs to your country." The old man took the initiative to speak.

Xu Youyou looked at the other person in surprise.

The old man smiled and said, "This thing was sold to me by a Frenchman. He said it was passed down from his ancestors, but he thought it was not good."

"Why does he think so?" Xu Youyou didn't understand.

After all, in her eyes, this thing has a warm temperament, like the warm sun in winter, which makes people feel close to it and can't feel any bad luck at all.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The feeling that this lacquer tray gave Xu Youyou was completely different from the painting on the ceiling of the castle, so she instinctively felt that it was a treasure of her family.

The old man said, "The Frenchman only said that his family has been in trouble since he got this treasure. Originally, it was a big family with more than 20 people, but when this thing was passed to him, he was the only one left."

Xu Youyou was very surprised: "Is this the cause of all this?"

The old man said: "Who knows whether what he said is true or not? After all, he is not a good person. He fled to us after killing someone in his own country. At first he even wanted to rob me."

When Xu Youyou heard this, she once again showed respect for this seemingly ordinary Finnish old man in front of her.

He was able to escape from the robbers unscathed and even took their things. This old man in front of him doesn't look like a simple character at all.

The old man said, "Little girl, I didn't steal this thing. It was a fair deal between him and me. I even paid him two pieces of bread to get this thing."

Although Xu Youyou didn't know the exact value of this plate, a treasure that could be valued by the system would probably be worth at least several million.

"I want to buy this treasure. Please name a price." Xu Youyou said.

The old man stretched out his hand and gestured the word two.

"Two hundred thousand euros?" Xu Youyou had a good impression of the old man, so she gave a fairly honest price.

The old man shook his head and said, "I only want 20 euros. Consider it as a meal you've treated me to."

Xu Youyou didn't understand.

The old man patiently explained, "The Frenchman was not lucky to get this treasure. After I got this treasure, I have been very successful in the past few years. I was originally heavily in debt. I took the gun that day with the intention of committing suicide."

"The blind French came to rob me, but they couldn't beat me, so they had to take the plate to buy their lives. I got the plate, and suddenly I didn't want to die anymore. Half a month later, I won the jackpot and paid off my debt."

"Then I met my wife, had two children, sent them to college, and watched them get married and have children."

"I know this is your Chinese treasure. As a foreigner, I am destined not to be able to keep it. I have run this grocery store for many years, and this treasure has always been behind me, but you are the only one who noticed it, so you should take it away."
