Chapter 99: Help my friend one last time
Cao Jiandang's eldest son and youngest son looked at him in shock, and suddenly felt that their father seemed to have changed.
The next day, Cao Jiandang took the prepared things and took Cao Quan to the grain station to find Mr. Ping.
The process for Cao Quan to get Uncle Ping's approval was quite smooth.
Uncle Ping was a scout when he was young. He has sharp eyes and can see people very clearly.
Although he could see that Cao Jiandang had some small thoughts and was not an upright person, Cao Quan, who was honest, honest, honest and kind-hearted, was still liked by Uncle Ping.
So, Uncle Ping immediately said that he would accept Cao Quan as his godson at some time.
And when he learned that Cao Quan was about to get married, he also expressed his happiness. He also said that when Cao Quan gets married, he can get married in the house where he lives, and he and his wife can live there together afterwards.
His house has four or five rooms and is about 160 square meters. He lives alone. Even if Cao Quan and his wife live together, it is more than enough.
When Cao Quan heard this, he immediately burst into tears and agreed.
Great, he has an explanation for Yuping, and he can be with Yuping.
Cao Quan's partner, named Zhou Yuping, is from Anren County and is also a very good girl. Zhou Yuping really likes Cao Quan, so even after knowing the difficulties of Cao Quan's family and even being unable to live together, he still He never gave up and wanted to be with Cao Quan.
But Zhou Yuping's parents disagreed. They were not willing to let their daughter suffer in a family like Cao's that had no living space, so they put forward the condition that Cao Quan must have a house.
Actually, Cao Quan knew his family situation. He did not blame Zhou's parents for their request, and he was reluctant to let Yuping suffer with him.
So, even if he liked Zhou Yuping again, Cao Quan originally planned to give up.
Unexpectedly, it would take a turn for the worse.
He recognized his godfather, and then not only would he have a job, but he would also have a house to live in.
Cao Quan was very grateful to his father, Cao Jiandang, for giving him this opportunity, and also to Uncle Ping as his godfather. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would be filial to his two fathers and provide for them in their old age!
After leaving the food station, Cao Jiandang patted Cao Quan on the shoulder and said, "You can talk to the Zhou girl about this. I believe her parents will agree to your marriage."
“Yes.” Cao Quan nodded with red eyes, his eyes full of excitement and joy.
“However, we have to thank one person...”
That afternoon, Cao Jiandang carried his things again and took Cao Quan to the textile factory.
That’s right, another person I want to thank is Deputy Director Li.
Cao Jiandang told Uncle Ping about taking Cao Quan in, and also expressed his gratitude to Deputy Director Li.
Unexpectedly, Deputy Director Li looked at him in surprise.
“Hey, don’t you know? Comrade Xu Aiguo didn’t tell you?”
Cao Jiandang was a little confused.
What did Xu Aiguo say to him?
Ever since that night, Cao Jiandang has implicitly broken up with Xu Aiguo. Under such circumstances, he and Xu Aiguo cannot go back to the past.
So, even when he left the textile factory yesterday, he did not go to see Xu Aiguo.
The next second, Deputy Director Li's words made his head suddenly hit, and he went blank for a moment.
"Didn't Comrade Xu Aiguo tell you? It was Comrade Xu Aiguo who asked me to tell you about Uncle Ping's adoption of his son, and Cao Quan was also the one who suggested it. If he hadn't told me, he wanted me to go through the formalities with you. I must tell you when the time comes, how do I know so much about this?"
“So, the person you want to thank is Comrade Xu Aiguo.”
Cao Jiandang was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of shock and disbelief...
-
In the evening, as the bell rang for get off work, Xu Aiguo and others were pushing their bicycles to leave and go home.
At this moment, he saw a familiar figure in the distance.
It was Cao Jiandang, and behind him stood a young man. Xu Aiguo estimated that he should be Cao Jiandang's son.
Just when Xu Aiguo was pushing his bicycle and was about to pass by Cao Jiandang.
Cao Jiandang held the handle of his car and said, "Let's talk?"
Xu Aiguo glanced at Cao Jiandang for a long time and nodded. Xu Aiguo pushed his bicycle and Cao Jiandang and his son to a relatively quiet place.
They had just gotten together before and chatted endlessly, but now they were speechless.
Cao Quan looked at his father and patriotic uncle and felt a little strange.
Cao Quan knew that his father and Uncle Xu Aiguo had a very good relationship, but the atmosphere was a little strange now.
But Cao Quan was silent, not knowing what to say.
But soon, he remembered the purpose of following his father to the textile factory today, and what Deputy Director Li said.
"Uncle Patriot, I have something happy to tell you. Today my father took me to meet my godfather, Uncle Ping, and he agreed to accept me as his godson."
Xu Aiguo still had a good impression of Cao Quan. When he heard this, he smiled and said: "Oh, really? Congratulations to you. Uncle Ping is a very nice person. Be filial to him and he will not treat you badly."
"Well, Uncle Patriot, I will do it." Cao Quan assured loudly, with a silly smile on his face.
"Why?" At this time, Cao Jiandang, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.
Xu Aiguo looked at him.
Cao Jiandang asked: "Deputy Director Li told me about Uncle Ping. He said you told him and asked him to tell me. Why? I, I did such a thing, why did you tell me this?" information?"
"Don't you often say that your family is too big and the house is too small to live in? A while ago, you have also been worried, saying that Cao Quan is dating, but the partner's parents hope that Cao Quan will have a house, and it will be better if he has a job. Yes, so..."
“So you asked Deputy Director Li to tell me about Uncle Ping?”
"Um."
Cao Jiandang's eyes turned red instantly, and his voice was choked with sobs. "Why, why do you want to help me? I did something like that that night. I thought, I thought..."
I thought you would hate me to death. I thought you would never be friends with me again.
I thought I was going to completely lose this friend.
Cao Jiandang knew that he deserved it and that he had done something wrong.
But why, why did he treat Xu Aiguo like that, which might even cause him to lose his job, why was Xu Aiguo still willing to help him?
"I'm not helping you, I just like this kid Cao Quan, I'm just helping him..."
Chao Jiandang's tears fell, his shoulders hunched and trembling.
He suppressed himself from crying.
Seeing him like this, Xu Aiguo sighed slightly and said: "Jiang Dang, I understand why you did that. When people are in difficulty and despair, they will inevitably go astray, but..."
“Since you know you have gone astray, you should turn around and get back on the right path.”
“I’m not doing this because I want to forgive you. What happened that night is destined to make it impossible for us to be friends again in the future.”
"But, in those eight years, I regarded you as a friend. I still remember how you helped me when I first entered the textile factory and how we supported each other."
“This is the last time I will help you, and it will also be the last time I will help my friend.
“Maybe we won’t meet again in the future, but there is still a long way to go in life to build a party. I hope everything goes well for you.”
“It’s getting late, I’ll go back first.”
After saying that, Xu Aiguo got on his bicycle and left.
Cao Jiandang looked at Xu Aiguo's back. At this moment, he deeply felt that his friend of eight years was really gone.
Looking at it, Cao Jiandang still couldn't hold it back. He squatted on the ground and cried like a child...
