The next day, Cao Jiandang took the prepared things and took Cao Quan to the grain station to find Uncle Ping.

The process for Cao Quan to gain Uncle Ping's recognition was quite smooth.

Uncle Ping was a scout when he was young. He has a pair of sharp eyes and can see people clearly.

Although he could see that Cao Jiandang had some ulterior motives and was not a very upright person, Cao Quan, who was honest, upright and kind, still won the favor of Uncle Ping.

So, Uncle Ping immediately said that he would find a time to adopt Cao Quan as his godson.

Moreover, when he learned that Cao Quan was about to get married, he expressed his happiness and said that Cao Quan could get married in the house where he lived, and he and his wife could live there together afterwards.

His house has four or five rooms and is about 160 square meters. He lives alone, but it is more than enough even for Cao Quan and his wife to live together.

When Cao Quan heard this, tears immediately fell from his eyes and he agreed.

That’s great, he has given an explanation to Yuping and he can be with Yuping.

Cao Quan's girlfriend is Zhou Yuping, who 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 having no place to live, she still did not give up on being with Cao Quan.

But Zhou Yuping's parents disagreed. They didn't want their daughter to suffer in a family like the Cao family where they couldn't even live in the house, so they put forward the condition that Cao Quan must have a house.

In fact, Cao Quan knew his family circumstances. He did not blame Zhou’s parents for their request, and he was reluctant to let Yuping suffer with him.

Therefore, no matter how much he liked Zhou Yuping, Cao Quan originally planned to give up.

But I didn't expect that there would be a sudden turn of events.

After he recognized someone as his godfather, he not only had a job but also a house to live in.

Cao Quan was very grateful to his father Cao Jiandang for giving him this opportunity, and also thanked Uncle Ping for being his godfather. He secretly swore in his heart that he would be filial to his two fathers and provide for them in their old age! After leaving the grain station, Cao Jiandang patted Cao Quan on the shoulder and said, "You can talk to Miss Zhou about this. I believe her parents will agree to your marriage."

"Yeah." Cao Quan nodded with red eyes, his eyes full of excitement and joy.

"But we still have to thank someone..."

That afternoon, Cao Jiandang carried his things again and took Cao Quan to the textile factory.

That’s right, another person to thank is Deputy Director Li.

Cao Jiandang talked about how Uncle Ping accepted Cao Quan, and also expressed his gratitude to Deputy Director Li.

Unexpectedly, Deputy Director Li looked at him in surprise.

"Hey, didn'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 had already torn his face with Xu Aiguo, and under such circumstances, he and Xu Aiguo could not 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 buzz and he went blank for a moment.

"Didn't Comrade Xu Aiguo tell you? Comrade Xu Aiguo asked me to tell you about Uncle Ping's adoption of a godson. It was also he who suggested Cao Quan. If he hadn't told me to tell you when you came to handle the formalities, how would I know so much?"

"So, the person you should 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 the end of work, Xu Aiguo and others pushed their bicycles and prepared to leave for home.

Just then, he saw a familiar figure from afar.

It was Cao Jiandang. Behind him stood a young man. Xu Aiguo guessed that he should be Cao Jiandang's son.

Just as Xu Aiguo was pushing his bicycle and was about to pass by Cao Jiandang.

Cao Jiandang held his handlebars and said, "Shall we talk?"

Xu Aiguo looked at Cao Jiandang for a long time and nodded.

It’s just that when they got together before, they had endless things to talk about, but now they were speechless.

Cao Quan looked at his father and patriotic uncle and also felt a little strange.

Cao Quan knew that his father and Uncle Xu Aiguo had a very good relationship, but the atmosphere seemed a little weird right now.

But Cao Quan also remained 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 Aiguo, I have something happy to tell you. Today my father took me to see my godfather, Uncle Ping, and he agreed to take me in as his godson."

Xu Aiguo still had a good impression of Cao Quan. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Oh, really? Then congratulations. Uncle Ping is a very good person. Be filial to him and he will not treat you unfairly."

"Yes, Uncle Patriot, I will." Cao Quan assured loudly with a silly smile on his face.

"Why?" At this time, Cao Jiandang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

Xu Aiguo looked at him.

Cao Jiandang asked: "Deputy Director Li told me about Uncle Ping. He said that you told him to tell me. Why? I did such a thing. Why did you tell me this news?"

"You often say that you have a big family and your house is too small to accommodate them. A while ago, you were also worried, saying that Cao Quan was dating someone, but his parents wanted him to have a house, and it would be even better if he had a job, so..."

"So you asked Deputy Director Li to tell me about Uncle Ping?"

"Um."

Cao Jiandang's eyes instantly turned red, and his voice was choked with sobs, "Why, why did you help me? I clearly did that thing that night. I thought, I thought..."

I thought you would hate me to death, and I thought you would never make friends with me again.

I thought I was going to lose this friend completely.

Cao Jiandang knew that he deserved it and that he had done something wrong.

But why, why did he treat Xu Aiguo like that, and it 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 Cao Quan. I'm just helping him..."

Cao Jiandang's tears fell, his shoulders shook and trembled continuously.

He suppressed himself so that he wouldn't cry out loud.

Xu Aiguo looked at him like this, sighed slightly, and said: "Jiandang, I understand why you did that. When people are in trouble and despair, they will inevitably go astray, but..."

“Since you know you’ve gone the wrong way, you need to turn around and get back on the right track.”

"I'm not doing this to forgive you. What happened that night means we can no longer be friends."

"But, during those eight years, I considered you a friend. I still remember your help to me when I first entered the textile factory, and the support we had when we got along."

“This is the last time I will help you, and this is also the last time I will help my friend.

"Maybe we won't have any intersection in the future, but the road of building a party and life is still long. I hope everything is well for you."

"It's getting late. I'm going back first."

After saying that, Xu Aiguo got on his bike and left.

Cao Jiandang looked at Xu Aiguo's back, and at that moment, he felt deeply that his friend of eight years was really gone.

As he watched, Cao Jiandang couldn't help himself and squatted on the ground, crying like a child...
