Chapter 330 It’s Great
Jiang Haitang smiled and nodded.
"Haitang, I always feel like we have known each other for a long time." Shu Qihua asked hesitantly, holding Jiang Haitang's hand.
Jiang Haitang was stunned, then laughed.
"Maybe we knew each other in our previous life! Maybe, you two were my benefactors in the previous life, and I came here to repay you in this life." She shook Shu Qihua's hand affectionately, her mind full of the scenes of Shu Qihua and Gu Yundi teaching her in her previous life.
The couple didn't know about this fate, but she remembered it all the time.
"Maybe, in a past life, you were our daughter!" Gu Yundi said with a smile, "How about we become godparents? We old couple had this idea before, but we didn't dare to speak out. Now that we've come through it, we dare to say it."
When Liu Hongmei heard this, she immediately clapped her hands and agreed: "That's great. The two teachers don't have children, and Haitang doesn't have parents. It would be great if they could become godparents..."
Having said this, Liu Hongmei remembered that Haitang was no longer a person without relatives, she had already found her relatives.
Moreover, Haitang's relatives are of quite high status. Wouldn't it be rash of me to support Haitang in finding a godparent?
Just when Liu Hongmei was so embarrassed she didn't know what to say, she heard Jiang Haitang's clear and joyful voice: "Great! Teacher Gu, Teacher Shu, this is the blessing I've been longing for! As long as you two don't mind, from today on, I'm your daughter!"
She said this without hesitation, with sincere tears in her eyes.
To her, Gu Yundi and Shu Qihua have long been both teachers, fathers and mothers.
In her previous life, during the years she lived in the Gu family, she said she was a nanny, but the two of them loved her like a junior and a student. The guidance and warmth they gave her had long since forged this fate.
In Jiang Haitang's view, it is a blessing to find a grandfather who is related by blood, but this friendship that is not related by blood but is extremely deep is equally precious.
Gu Yundi and Shu Qihua didn't expect Jiang Haitang to agree so readily. They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
A huge joy surged in their hearts, and both of them trembled with excitement.
"Good! Good! Good daughter!" Gu Yundi said three good words in a row in a loud voice, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were all smiling.
Shu Qihua burst into tears of joy and hugged Jiang Haitang tightly: "My dear child! We...we have a daughter too!"
She had been waiting for so many years, but she never expected that at this age, she would actually have such an outstanding and caring daughter.
Lu Liangchen watched from the side and was happy for his wife and two teachers.
Although he didn't know why, he knew how important these two teachers were in his wife's heart.
Lu Liangchen did not object to Jiang Haitang recognizing the two as godparents. He stepped forward and bowed solemnly to them.
"Teacher Gu, Teacher Shu, from now on, we are a family. Haitang and I will be filial to you together!"
The two of them hurriedly told Lu Liangchen not to be polite.
Although Xiao He didn't know what the connection between these people was, he was still very moved by this heartwarming scene.
Liu Hongmei finally felt relieved, clapping her hands and laughing, "Oh my! This is such a great joyous occasion! We have to celebrate! Haitang, wait! I'll go home and get the bacon my mother pickled, and we'll have a good meal tonight!"
With that, she ran out in a hurry to share the good news.
"I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat and vegetables. Let's have a good gathering tonight." Lu Liangchen said, and left in a hurry.
Jiang Haitang pulled Shu Qihua and Gu Yundi to sit down, and Xiao He hurried to make tea again.
The relationship between the three people was different, and when they spoke, they were actually more intimate.
While a few people were talking affectionately, Little Orange woke up.
Xiao He brought the babbling little Chengzi over. Jiang Haitang took the little one and said, "Little Chengzi, call grandpa and grandma!"
Although the little guy didn't understand what it meant, he saw the two kind old people in front of him smiling at him, and he waved his hands happily, making a "puff puff" sound with his mouth, which made everyone laugh.
"Godfather and godmother, this kid is a chatterbox. Although he can't speak, he is very talkative." Jiang Haitang looked at his son who was eager to speak with a loving smile on his face.
Shu Qihua carefully took Xiao Chengzi from Jiang Haitang's arms, held it in his arms, and felt this soft little life. His heart was filled with unprecedented satisfaction and happiness.
Gu Yundi also gathered nearby, looking extremely curious.
"You said we had a daughter and a grandson in a while. Oh, and a granddaughter. Hey, Haitang, didn't Xiaotaozi come back with you?"
"I was on a business trip and came back on my way. I didn't bring Xiao Taozi with me. I will bring her back to see you later. If you two have time, please come to Beijing to see us." Jiang Haitang explained to the two of them.
The two were still a little regretful that they didn't see Xiao Taozi, but soon their attention was attracted by Xiao Chengzi.
"Little Peach and Little Orange, these two names are great, they sound like they're related!"
"When the names were chosen, it wasn't originally called this. Xiao Taozi said that her name was Xiao Taozi and her brother should be called Xiao Chengzi, so we gave him this nickname. Xiao Taozi's full name is Lu Youwei, and Xiao Chengzi's full name is Lu Yiguo." Jiang Haitang couldn't help but smile even more when she thought of the time when her daughter named her brother.
Hearing this, Gu Yundi and the other two couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The small courtyard is filled with laughter and warmth.
The past sufferings seem to have gone away, leaving only the joy of sweet success after bitterness and beautiful expectations for future life.
This godparent, who was chosen on a whim, seemed to be the best arrangement, giving the affection that spanned two lifetimes a warm status.
Not long after, Liu Hongmei came with a bamboo basket. In it were not only bacon, but also many fresh vegetables. Lu Liangchen also came back soon. He actually bought both beef and pork.
"That's perfect. I'll call Secretary Tan and Zhao Kai over, and also have Zhang Shangwen come along, so we can have some fun."
Lu Liangchen thought it would be difficult for everyone to get together in the future, so he made the suggestion.
These people have all helped Jiang Haitang to some extent, and after Haitang returns to the capital, it will not be easy to meet these people again.
"Call the machinery factory and ask Dazhu to come over for dinner," Jiang Haitang also said.
"Dazhu is a good kid. I plan to recruit him after I return to school. As long as he works hard, he will definitely be a talented person in the field of mechanics in the future."
Upon hearing Dazhu's name, Gu Yundi immediately expressed his praise for Dazhu.
Jiang Haitang was also very happy to hear that Gu Yundi liked Dazhu so much.
Xiao He and Jiang Haitang cooked together, and Liu Hongmei also took the initiative to help. Soon, Kang Xiaoxia, who got the news, also came. Shu Qihua wanted to help, but was rejected by several people and was only asked to sit in the living room and rest.
Soon, a table full of sumptuous meals was ready. Today's meal was no less delicious than the one during the Chinese New Year. Lu Liangchen even went out to get some wine.
Liu Hongmei's family, Kang Xiaoxia and Zhao Kai, Secretary Tan and his wife, plus Dazhu and Director Mao who came over on his own initiative after hearing the news, there were so many people that one table could not accommodate them all.
The big table from Liu Hongmei's house was moved over. Fortunately, the weather was warm now, so it was nice to eat in the yard. So they simply put the table in the yard and ate in the evening breeze.
At the dinner table, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate Gu Yundi and Shu Qihua's exoneration and return to their posts, as well as the birth of their beautiful daughter.
The people who came here all had good relationships with each other, and they were all quite comfortable when talking.
Jiang Haitang also gave them the gifts she brought from Huacheng. Everyone accepted the gifts and expressed their gratitude.
Knowing that Jiang Haitang would not come back often in the future, they also gave Jiang Haitang gifts.
The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests. It was a lively affair that lasted from the setting of the sun until the moon rose above the willow trees.
The starry sky in the northwest outside the window was exceptionally bright. Jiang Haitang looked at her new family and old friends around her, her heart filled with gratitude.
These people are all her benefactors. Without their help, perhaps she would not have achieved what she has now.
"It's a pity that Director Hu is not here today. If he were here, I would definitely toast him twice."
"When we return to the capital, we will invite him to dinner. Then, you can toast him nicely." Lu Liangchen knew what his wife was thinking and said with a smile.
After dinner, Xiao He went to wash the dishes. Shu Qihua took Jiang Haitang's hand and sat down, looking at her carefully.
She knew in her heart that even though she had become his godparents, she would not have the chance to meet him in the future. After all, the capital was too far away.
"Godmother, we'll have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future. Besides, I'll be staying here for a few days, so we'll have another chance to meet." Jiang Haitang consoled her with a smile, "Also, I've found my biological grandfather. He's also in Jincheng. Now, I have parents and a grandfather, and I'm no longer alone."
Upon hearing that Jiang Haitang had a grandfather, Gu Yundi and Shu Qihua immediately began to discuss going to the capital to visit the old man during the holidays.
We chatted for a while and teased Xiaochengzi for a while.
The little guy was not shy at all. He babbled and "talked" to them, making the two old people laugh.
Before leaving, Gu Yundi pulled out a carefully wrapped small box from the cloth bag he had brought with him and handed it to Jiang Haitang. "Haitang, this is for you. It's not something valuable, but a pen and a notebook I collected. They record some cutting-edge ideas in the field of mechanics that I came across during my early years studying abroad. It's old, but maybe it can still inspire you."
He didn't dare to take out this information before, for fear of implicating Jiang Haitang. It was only after the conversation that he found time to take out the hidden booklet.
Jiang Haitang accepted this heavy gift and was deeply moved.
She knew how precious this was for a scholar.
"Thank you, godfather! This is so precious! I will definitely study it carefully!"
