After Zhou Bin settled the affairs in Tangchi Village, he drove back to Beiyuan Village.
The car was going down the winding mountain road, and suddenly Zhou Bin noticed a cart coming towards him on the narrow dirt road.
The cart was loaded with a full load of green grass. It looked particularly scary, as if the cart was about to overturn at any time.
Zhou Bin couldn't help but secretly admire this guy in his heart, what an amazing guy!
It was such a small cart, but he had so much grass on it. The slope was so steep, how did he pull it up?
Zhou Bin quickly stopped the car on the side of the road to give him way. It would not be too late for Zhou Bin to leave after he passed.
Zhou Bin could see clearly that the person pulling the cart was an old man who looked quite old.
Zhou Bin found that no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't pull the cart, and it looked like it was about to slide backwards.
Zhou Bin quickly turned off the car, got out and wanted to help the old man.
But at this moment, the cart completely lost control and quickly slid backwards.
The old man was terrified and shouted, "Oh my god! I'm going to die now!"
Following his gaze, Zhou Bin saw a man staggering out from behind a cart.
It turned out that there was an old lady behind the car, who also had white hair.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the old lady running out.
The cart backed up and fell into the ground by the roadside, then tilted to one side.
The two men looked at the cart in the field, both with sad expressions on their faces, and stood there blankly.
Zhou Bin hurried forward and asked, "Uncle, are you okay?"
The old man looked back and saw a young man coming up from above. He immediately said helplessly: "Oh, the cart has overturned on the ground. What should I do?"
Seeing the old man's distressed face, Zhou Bin asked in confusion: "Uncle, why did you pull so much grass? If you pull less, it won't be like this."
The old lady said dissatisfiedly: "It's all because of this old man who didn't listen to others' advice and insisted on pulling so much. Now it's good, there's no way back."
The old man kept sucking his teeth: "Oh, what should I do?"
The old lady was so angry that her face turned red, and she stood aside, a little at a loss.
When Zhou Bin saw that both of them had white hair and no help around them, he suddenly thought of his old father and felt a little bit sorry.
He thought about it and immediately came up with an idea: "Uncle, Madam, don't worry, I'll help you pull the cart out."
The old man looked at Zhou Bin in surprise: "Can you help us pull it out?"
Zhou Bin smiled, pointed at his car and said, "I'll use my car to help you pull it out!"
The two looked and saw a large SUV parked not far away.
This is the car Zhou Bin bought specifically for traveling on mountain roads. It has high horsepower and is sturdy, making it perfect for pulling a cart.
When the old man saw it, he was immediately excited and expressed his gratitude to Zhou Bin repeatedly.
Zhou Bin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle, you're welcome. I just happened to meet you. Let's help you pull the cart."
The old man agreed repeatedly, and the old woman kept thanking him.
It just so happened that they had a thick hemp rope on their cart, so they tied one end to the shaft of the cart and the other end to the hook of Zhou Bin's off-road vehicle.
Then the old man took the helm of the cart, Zhou Bin started the car, stepped lightly on the accelerator, the off-road vehicle roared, and slowly pulled the old man's cart forward.
After a while, the cart was pulled up. Zhou Bin drove the cart slowly, pulling the old man's cart of grass, towards the old man's house.
After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at the old man's house.
Zhou Bin stopped the car, untied the ropes, and helped the old man and the old woman pull the cart back home.
Zhou Bin took a quick look and found that the gatehouse of the old man's house was very low and the door was very dilapidated.
When we got to the yard, we saw that the old man's house consisted of two mud houses, which looked to be several decades old.
Zhou Bin helped the old man push the cart to the backyard, and then helped him unload the hay and piled it in the backyard.
Not far away is a cowshed with three cows in it, which are the most valuable things in the old man's house.
After half an hour of hard work, the two men finally piled up the fodder, and then the old man quickly invited Zhou Bin to go to the front to rest.
When they got to the front, the old lady had already poured the water for washing faces, and the old man invited Zhou Bin to wash his face and hands first.
Zhou Bin couldn't refuse the kindness, so he washed his hands and face first, and then the old man and the old woman started to wash their faces and hands.
When he finished washing up, the old lady had already brought him some strong tea and a box of Monkey cigarettes.
The old man smiled and asked Zhou Bin to sit on a stool to rest, while the old woman hurried to the kitchen to roll noodles.
The old man picked up a cigarette and handed it to Zhou Bin, then said with a smile: "Thank you, young man! If it weren't for you today, we wouldn't know what to do."
Zhou Bin lit up a cigarette, took a puff, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you are too polite. It's just a small favor."
The old man smiled naively and said, "That's not the case. If you hadn't helped us, we would still be standing there staring blankly."
Zhou Bin asked with a smile: "Uncle, you are the only two old people in your family, where are your children?"
The old man's smile froze, and after a long while he said, "I have a son, but he is no longer with us. My daughter married far away, and she only comes back to see us once every few months."
As he spoke, the old man's eyes dimmed, as if he was recalling sad things in the past.
Zhou Bin had not expected this to happen, and he immediately brought up the other person's sad story. He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, uncle. I didn't know your family was in this situation."
