Uncle Sun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and hesitated, "Sister, is this the condition you mentioned?"
Sun Xiu nodded, "Yes."
Uncle Sun was also at a loss for words when he heard this. "What kind of condition is this? Besides, this little money is not enough to meet this requirement."
"How much this work quota costs is our business. Anyway, this is what we want. The rest is the love that his uncle and I have for the child."
Not only Uncle Sun disagreed with this, but even Old Lady Sun and the others disagreed.
Old Lady Sun quickly advised, "My daughter, you are doing Gouzi a great favor by giving him this spot. You can't let you two pay for it."
Li Jiakang also explained, "Mom, it's just a little thing. We can afford it. Besides, this is what we decided after discussing it. My brother also has the same standard."
Uncle Sun still refused, "That won't do. Let's give more."
Sun Xiu slammed the table and said, "Alright, I'm the one making the decision. This is all I want. If you don't agree, I won't give you the job."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Sun family fell silent.
Uncle Sun thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Gouzi, come here."
Then a dark-skinned, honest-looking young man came forward and said, "Dad."
The man named "Gouzi" is Uncle Sun's eldest son, and Li Xu's eldest cousin.
And this is just his nickname, his real name is Sun Yizhui.
When my cousins were born, they were not given full names and everyone just called them by their nicknames.
Later, when the population was counted, it was given a big name.
But there were so many people that the two uncles were too lazy to think of names, so they just arranged them in order of age: one, two, three.
Well, Erzhu is Uncle Sun's eldest son...
However, in the countryside, everyone calls the child by his nickname, so he is called "Gouzi" or "Gouzi".
Li Xu's family is a special case.
They were all from the countryside, but none of them had a nickname.
All the names of the Li Jiakang brothers and Li Ping's generation were specially chosen by Mr. Li...
Mr. Li used to believe this.
Although later on many people thought that he was being picky because of this incident and he was ridiculed a lot.
But now that everyone knows about this, who wouldn’t give him a thumbs up?
This even became the thing that Mr. Li was most proud of in his life. He believed that the reason why their Li family was prosperous was because of the good name...
Uncle Sun continued, "Kneel down and kowtow to your aunt and uncle."
Without saying a word, Sun Yizhui knelt down and kowtowed to Li Jiakang and the other man.
Li Xu suddenly remembered that when he talked about this matter with Li Jiafu, he also asked Li Qiang to do the same action.
It wasn't until much later that Li Xu realized that for some people, the greatest way they could express their gratitude was to kowtow...
Sun Xiu said unhappily, "Alright, get up. I've already kowtowed. That's it."
Sun Xiu knew that if they didn't accept it, Uncle Sun would not be at ease.
Sun Yizhui glanced at his uncle Sun, and stood up after getting the signal, standing aside with a silly smile on his face.
But unexpectedly, Uncle Sun said another sentence, "I am making a decision here today, and everyone should bear witness, Gouzi."
Sun Yizhu responded, "Dad, you say."
"When your aunt and uncle get older, you will also have to contribute to their care. Can you agree to this condition?"
Sun Yizhu nodded and said, "I agree."
Sun Xiu and the others couldn't sit still anymore and said quickly, "Gouzi, don't listen to your father. Your aunt has children and doesn't need you to take care of her in her old age."
Li Jiakang also echoed, "Yeah, Gouzi, don't listen to him."
Sun Yizhu shook his head and said, "No, I'll listen to my dad on this matter."
Uncle Sun also said, "It's settled, otherwise we won't have the job anymore."
Li Xu hadn't expected things to get to this point, and he quickly stood up to persuade him, "Uncle, what are you doing? My parents' retirement will be taken care of by us brothers, so we don't need my cousin anymore."
Uncle Sun shook his head and said, "Xiao Xu, it's your duty as brothers to provide for them in their old age. Gouzi is repaying his kindness by providing for them in their old age."
"We are all family, it would be awkward to say that."
Sun Xiu and others stepped forward to persuade them again, but Uncle Sun and his son remained unmoved.
Until Old Lady Sun said, "Okay, it's decided. My daughter, if you don't agree, your brother won't want this job. You know his temper. Besides, it's just a matter of contributing.
Even if you adopt a godson, he will have to provide for your old age and see you to the end of your life. Isn't your relationship closer than that of a godson?"
Seeing that Old Lady Sun said so, Sun Xiu and Li Jiakang looked at each other and could only agree helplessly.
Sun Xiu looked at Sun Yizhu and said, "Gouzi, pack your things for a few days and bring enough food for the first month. Then come to my house and I will give you a letter of introduction. Then you can report to the plastics factory."
Li Jiakang followed up and said, "Yes, you can stay at our house first. We still have an empty house."
Sun Yizhu responded with a smile and expressed his gratitude to the two again.
Then Old Lady Sun said, "My daughter, the dog will soon be eating commercial grain, and we have more than enough grain at home. Take the grain you brought back and you don't have to send it to me anymore."
Uncle Sun and the others also agreed.
Sun Xiu smiled and said, "Mom, that food is our filial gift to you. It's our token of our love. You can eat the extra food yourself. If you eat enough, you will be healthy. That way, we can rest assured. Okay, it's getting late. We should go back."
After he finished speaking, he stood up. Li Xu and Li Jiakang also stood up and said goodbye to everyone.
Everyone sent the three of them out the door again.
Let’s not talk about how happy Uncle Sun and the others were.
After the three of them had walked for a while, Li Xu scratched his head and asked doubtfully, "Mom, does my godson also have to take care of my godparents until they die?"
Sun Xiu nodded, "Of course, we don't just adopt a godson these days. Once you do, you'll have a new brother. We'll have to help with his future marriages and other things. Likewise, he'll also help support us in our old age."
Only then did Li Xu understand.
In later generations, it is quite common for people who have a good relationship to recognize each other as godparents.
But there aren't that many explanations, it just seems closer.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Mom, we will take care of your retirement in the future. You don't need your cousin to help."
Sun Xiu touched Li Xu's head and said with relief, "I knew my son was filial."
