Mr. Xu made a surprising statement and stared at Su Jianguo with a smile: "Jianguo, do you want to be the old man's adopted son?"
"puff."
The two brothers Xu Yanzhao and Xu Yanyu were caught off guard and sprayed out the cold water they had just drank.
"I lost my temper."
After all, Mr. Xu has seen big events. I don’t know how much of the Wall Street tycoon jumped off the building back then, but less than half of it was Mr. Xu’s handiwork.
Xu Yanzhao picked up a tissue to wipe the water stains on the corners of his mouth and handed it out.
Xu Yanyu looked disgusted, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Brother, dirty."
Mr. Xu, who has a mysophobia, threw the tissue in his brother's face.
Su Jianguo didn't expect Mr. Xu to actually make such a suggestion, and froze on the spot: "Mr. Xu..."
"Come on, sit down first."
Mr. Xu held the man's hand and pulled him to sit beside him.
"Is your father gone?"
"No more."
Su Jianguo's eyes dimmed: "My father died young, and I was raised by my mother who went through all kinds of hardships."
The family was very poor at that time. There was also a grandmother who had bound feet and lost her labor force. She also had a younger brother. Unfortunately, he drowned while carrying water by the river.
Su Jianguo was the only one left.
"Oh..." Mr. Xu understood that Su Jianguo's situation was not easy: "I was the same way. At that time, the country had not yet been founded. Our old man worked long-term for the landlords and was exhausted."
"When he died, our family had no source of income. My mother also had bound feet and no labor force. At that time, I started working as a coolie... Later... it was our comrades who helped me..."
A piece of steamed bun and a copper coin, this fate was born, and the old man, who was taken seriously by others for the first time in his life, joined the revolution without hesitation.
"So Jianguo, I can understand you."
There was a sigh in his ears, and tears filled Su Jianguo's eyes. This upright man had never told anyone about his hardships.
He is always used to giving silently.
Like a towering silent mountain carrying everything.
Mr. Xu used his own experience to pry open Su Jianguo's silent inner world, making this man who lost his father very early and struggled to survive in hardships feel sad and slightly warm.
"Mr. Xu...it's not easy for everyone..."
"yes."
Mr. Xu smiled slightly and asked him again: "Then where does your mother live now?"
He scanned the house and found no trace of elderly people living there.
"Grandma is in the nursing home in town."
Suningning took the lead and answered her grandfather's question: "We used to visit grandma two or three times a week. Grandma is not in good health and needs to rest."
"Oh." Mr. Xu hummed and suggested enthusiastically: "If you become my adopted son, we can take the old lady to the best Xiangshan Sanatorium in the imperial capital for recuperation. There are the best doctors and nursing staff there, and the scenery is beautiful. Beautiful and in excellent condition.”
"I……"
Mr. Xu controlled the pace of this conversation from beginning to end.
He opened Su Jianguo's heart, and then attacked the city step by step, directly putting Su Jianguo in a position where he could not refuse his proposal.
Seeing Su Jianguo's hesitation, Mr. Xu decided to take a strong dose: "You can still see Ning Ning whenever you want. Ning Ning can openly call your father. Don't you want to attend Ning Ning's parent-teacher meeting?"
"Ning Ning scored 100 points in the exam last month."
"She said she wanted to come back to see dad."
"Jianguo, you don't need to change your name to be my adopted son. You don't need to change anything. You just become Ningning's father again."
"Including the construction of your hometown, our subsequent investment in projects and funds, you can participate in it as my son."
One chip after another fell down.
Especially Ning Ning’s father.
This identity is an obsession for Su Jianguo.
After his wife left, Su Jianguo was busy paying off his debts every day. Apart from visiting his mother regularly, he did not dare to let himself have any leisure time.
Whenever I have some free time, I can't help but miss my wife and children.
"dad……"
Ning Ning is afraid that her father will not want her, and she does not want to leave her father for the second time.
This father's voice was the last straw that broke Su Jianguo's mind.
The man's dry and peeling lips trembled a few times: "I agree."
"Okay, okay!" Mr. Xu held Su Jianguo's hand excitedly: "From now on, you will be our family." Turning his head, he called to his two eldest grandsons: "Come and call someone."
Call someone?
The two Xu brothers looked at each other.
Ning Ning said without hesitation: "Dad!"
This girl is very familiar with calling her daddy. She has been calling her daddy for six or seven years.
Ning Ning turned her head and looked at the heads of her two brothers, which showed their moods.
The brother's head said: Since it is Ningning's father, it seems that there is no problem in shouting. From now on, we will all be a family, as long as Ningning is happy.
Ning Ning was very happy to see this frame and rushed towards her brother, hugging her brother's thigh: "Brother, Ning Ning likes you the most!"
This sentence instantly killed Xu Yanzhao.
"Uncle Five."
The dignified tyrant transformed into a sunny boy, with a grin on his face, sparkling white teeth, and gold-rimmed glasses. His image of a gentle animal suddenly collapsed, causing his younger brother Xu Yanyu to widen his eyes and scold him in a low voice: "Are you Pu Shigao? A traitor? How dare you carry it..."
Feeling a gaze staring at her, the little girl lowered her head and puffed up her cheeks, her eyes were stubborn and angry.
Humph, Brother Yu is a bad guy.
Xu Yanyu pinched her face, her teeth itching: "You little brat."
Ning Ning slurred her words: "I pinched my tongue repeatedly."
Xu Yanyu let go of his hand, turned around and waved to Su Jianguo: "Hello, fifth uncle, I am Xu Yanyu, a child of the second family."
"This is my eldest brother. You should know him. Including my father, our family has three sons and one daughter. The eldest uncle, the third aunt and the fourth uncle. The fourth uncle is Ning Ning's biological father. The third aunt doesn't come back to Mobei very often. We The family has the largest population, and none of the three sons has a daughter. My mother has always dreamed of having a daughter."
Hehehe, Harry, Xu Daying seemed to be complaining carelessly, but he was actually introducing Su Jianguo to their family situation to prevent the two of them from being smeared.
Su Jianguo scratched his head and smiled.
Don't know how to answer.
Ning Ning looked at Brother Yu's head, and it changed from: Not happy (′へ`,) Someone is robbing Ning Ning, to: There is no way, the eldest brother actually rebelled, who makes Ning Ning like it?
The fifth uncle is the fifth uncle.
Xu Yanyu's eyebrows were curved and his lips were smiling: "Hello, Uncle Wu."
Ning Ning let go of her elder brother and rushed over to hug Brother Yu's thigh. The little pig rubbed its head like a tree, causing Xu Yanyu to shout deliberately: "Oh, oh, oh, who's little pig is rushing over? I'm going to be hit~~"
His exaggerated expression diluted the bewildered atmosphere.
Several people laughed.
Mr. Xu was in a good mood after accepting a godson. He took off a Buddhist amulet from his wrist and personally brought it to Su Jianguo's wrist.
"This was a gift from an old friend a long time ago. Now I give it to you. I hope you will be happy and healthy in the rest of your life."
