After Wang Qi left, Liu Yufen and Guo Dahai returned to the shop in the market hand in hand, one swept the floor, the other washed the dishes, and began to clean up the mess.

"Old man, how is it, Xiao Qi's future life is not bad, right?" Liu Yufen, who was washing the dishes, said to her wife quite proudly.

"It's not bad! polite, polite, talking, doing things are very measured, at first glance, he is a young man with a good family education when he was a child. Guo Dahai nodded affirmatively. After sweeping the floor, he sat on a bamboo chair, took out his pipe, lit a paper cigarette, inserted it at the front end of the pipe, held the pipe mouth in his mouth, and held his hands with his old eyes half-closed.

When he was in his hometown, he liked to smoke leaf cigarettes with a pipe, which was strong and enjoyable. After entering the city, I feel that there are almost no people who smoke leaf cigarettes around, and there is a lot of saliva in my mouth after smoking leaf cigarettes, and I want to spit from time to time, which doesn't matter in the countryside, but in the metropolis where there are many high-rise buildings and is full of "civilized people", spitting everywhere is not a good habit.

However, for many years, the habit of holding a pipe in my mouth has not been removed, and I feel that if I don't hold a pipe in my mouth when smoking, I lack a sense of ritual.

"There's one more important advantage you didn't say. Liu Yufen turned the washed bowl upside down in a basket and drained the water.

"What's the merit?"

"Stupid! Of course it's the identity of Xiaoqi orphans! No father or mother, hehe, just nothing to worry about!" Liu Yufen wiped the water stains on her hands on the apron around her waist, and turned around to give her wife a blank look.

Although Guo Dahai is honest, he has been in the big city for so many years, and he has a shrewd and capable wife, and his not very bright head slowly became bright, and he was stunned by his wife's "flattering eyes", and soon understood what his wife meant and wanted to pay attention to.

"It's not proper!Yufen, this matter is inappropriate!" Guo Dahai shook his head and said.

"What's wrong? Xiao Qiren is good, has a good tutor, is still a college student, has a serious job, and the most important thing is that he is an orphan, he doesn't care about it, and he likes us, otherwise he won't come to see us with an apple, you say, what's wrong?" Liu Yufen crossed her hands on her hips and "glared" at her wife who splashed her cold water. The two have lived together for most of their lives, an old husband and wife, a look from both sides, a word, even if they only say half a sentence, they can understand each other's meaning, and they have a tacit understanding.

“…… Still inappropriate. Guo Dahai was not frightened by his wife's female power, thought about it, and still shook his head and said that it was inappropriate.

"What's wrong?

"Old woman, I know that you want to recognize Xiao Qi as your godson, and I support it. But in this matter, we need to think long-term, take our time, and not panic. I have three reasons for this:

"First, now we have only been in contact with Xiao Qi two or three times, what kind of person Xiao Qi is, what kind of character does he have, to be honest, I don't know the bottom of my heart - I was really scared of Niu Erwa's turtle son!

"Second, the current situation of the two of us is really no longer what it used to be, a bit miserable, whether Niu Erwa can pass this level is still unknown. When we make 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month, I have no objection to you recognizing your godson, even if you are cheated out of some money by your godson, it doesn't hurt, it's a big deal to earn it again, as long as there is a shop, the money will naturally come! But can we pass this hurdle now? Can Niu Erwa let go of the idea of beating us in this golden bunk? If the person who has suffered a thousand knives is really determined to drive our two old mouths away, what will we rely on for a living in the future is still a question, how can we have the time and energy to recognize our godson?

"In the end, and the most important reason why I let you slow down, is that if you want to recognize Xiao Qi as your godson, will people be willing to be it? Xiao Qi is a person who is calm, moderate, and not surprised by changes everywhere - Niu Er looks like a bull boom, and the appearance of the underworld does not scare Xiao Qi. I feel that Xiao Qi will not be a thing in the pool in the future, people may not be able to afford the two of us from the countryside, a bad old man with no culture, Mrs. Han!"

After Guo Dahai analyzed Liu Yufen in a piecemeal manner, Liu Yufen was stunned for a moment, feeling that she was indeed a little under-considered.

However, when she does things, she always thinks of it, and she is not the kind of person who has to be ready for everything and dare to start after she is sure. When I made up my mind, I left the mountain nest where birds don't pull eggs in my hometown, and borrowed money to go to Jiangcheng to wander like this, I never thought about what the consequences would be if I couldn't break into the hall and couldn't pay off the money of relatives and friends.

Therefore, although the conservative and steady wife thinks about things complicated and sees too many difficulties, she does not scare Liu Yufen.

Liu Yufen, who was busy with housework, simply brought a small bench, sat down in front of Guo Dahai, straightened her waist and said to him:

"Old man, since you have set me one, two, three, and three points, then I will refute you one by one.

"First, how can Niu Erwa's ungrateful person be compared with Xiao Qi? No matter how diligent he was at the beginning, it was also 'nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief' - the later results also proved this old saying!

"But did Xiaoqi have been courteous to us? Giving people two broken steel pipes, people pushed three times and blocked them for a long time, and finally I had to pull down my face to accept it. It can be seen from this that this young man is by no means a person who likes to take advantage of people!

"The little seven people were also polite, and they came to buy us a few catties of fruit. Niu Er's good words at the beginning of the dog's day, the meat and hemp words have been said a lot, but for so many years, have you bought us even a rotten apple?

"So, if you compare Niu Er with Xiao Qi, there is nothing to compare at all, it can't be compared at all!

"Second, what you're worried about about is our current situation. Yes, we are a little sad now, and we have to close our doors if we don't do well, but so what? Can the current situation be more difficult than when we first came to Jiangcheng more than ten years ago? Not to mention the rest, we can buy a house in Jiangcheng with full payment, and it is a river-view house with more than 100 square meters in a prosperous area, and there are two or three hundred thousand deposits in the passbook, just these two points, it is stronger than the vast majority of Jiangcheng locals, what is so difficult, and what is it to feel ashamed?

"Even if the two of us close tomorrow and don't do this steel business, even if we go back to the old business and go to the tiring and small noodle restaurant that doesn't have much money, with the experience of you and me in Jiangcheng for more than ten years and the spirit of being willing to endure hardships and sweat, are you still afraid of starving to death?

"So, your second fear, don't hold!

"Your third worry, worried that people Xiaoqi is unwilling or something, you don't try, don't ask, how can you know that people are unwilling?

"Finally, I'll say another reason you didn't say, that is, I don't know why, Xiao Qi, the first time I saw him, I inexplicably had a good impression of him, I felt very kind, I wanted to get close to him, and then treat him as well as we were happy, it seems that in the dark, God sent him to me to let me know him, and he is an orphan without ties!

"All I can say is providence!

"So, old man, even if all your worries are true, just for the last reason, I will never give up! Even if I can't let Xiao Qi become our godson, call us godfather, godmother, I will make him my 'nephew', everyone will walk around and come together in the future, including the New Year's holidays!"
