On the way back to the apartment by taxi, I said, "Boss Gao, how long has it been since you cooked?" Kaohsiung asked strangely what it meant, and I said that your bowl of hot egg noodle soup was too poor, obviously the fire was too big, the eggs were all broken, and the noodles had been cooked for too long, and the shape could no longer be seen, so how could people eat them.

"Then why don't you do it?" Kaohsiung glared at me. Talking about Uncle Duan, I couldn't stop sighing, saying that I thought that Uncle Duan was going to fall into the worm was an old woman he liked, but I didn't expect it to be an adopted daughter.

Kaohsiung said: "The most complicated thing in the world is not a clock machine, not everything in the universe, not a math problem, but a fucking human heart! No matter how smart you are, you can never guess what a person is thinking...... He leaned his head back in his chair, closed his eyes, and seemed to be just talking to himself.

This business should be over here, it stands to reason that Duan Bo's adopted daughter is a smart person, and she should be able to suspect that I may have something to do with this insect incident, but it may be that she saw her adoptive father give up on herself, and she was happy in her heart, so in order not to cause any extraneous trouble, so she didn't want to pursue anything, but left here as soon as possible. It's also a relaxing thing for me, but I can't breathe a sigh of relief. For several days in a row, I talked to Kaohsiung about this matter when I had nothing to do, who was right and who was wrong, Kaohsiung's character was open-minded enough, but they were all quite dissatisfied with Duan Bo's adopted daughter, feeling that she had just fulfilled her legal obligations, and completely forgot the obligations of human affection, if money could replace family affection, or that sentence, no one would have to have children, just save money and go to a nursing home when the time comes.

In the following period, I would call Duan Bo from time to time and ask him about his situation. He didn't sound like much, as if he had stepped out of that shadow, and his tone was relatively flat. Sometimes, when I met with Mr. Xu, I would pretend to ask if Uncle Duan had made a fortune because he had asked for a Buddhist medallion from me. Mr. Xu smiled and said that he didn't send it for sure, otherwise he would still stay in the company as a proofreader, and he still goes to and from work step by step every day, which is no different from before.

When I talked to Uncle Duan on the phone that day, I could hear the joy in his words, and when I asked if there was anything happy, Uncle Duan told me, "Today is the day my daughter married Paul in England. "I'm shocked, why didn't your daughter let you attend for such a big thing, is it embarrassing for you?

"That's not it," said Duan Bo, "probably because I was angry and afraid that I would say that she was my adopted daughter at the wedding, after all, it was not a glorious thing." "I said that foreigners are not as careful as Chinese, and what happened to the adopted daughter is not lower than the biological one. Duan Bo said it didn't matter, she said she would send me a CD of the wedding.

About half a month later, I asked Duan Bo if he had a CD to be sent, and he casually said that there was, and there was nothing to see. I was very strange, thinking that this adopted daughter was the most important person in Duan Bo's life, and it was impossible to think so, so I proposed to go over and have a look. Duan Bo disagreed, the more he was like this, the more I wanted to see it, Duan Bo had no choice but to agree.

I bought some fruit and came to his house, put the disc into the DVD player and played it, it seems that this Paul is quite rich, the wedding was actually held in a castle, but maybe it was rented, but I heard that castles in England are very expensive to rent.

There were also a lot of people attending the wedding, this Paul was tall and handsome, and his parents were also very temperamental, saying that no one believed that he was not rich, and he was not the kind of Chinese nouveau riche, but passed down from generation to generation. When Uncle Duan's adopted daughter appeared, a middle-aged Chinese man came out holding her hand, according to Western marriage customs, this should be her father, but not Uncle Duan, because Uncle Duan didn't go either. I couldn't understand the whole process in English, but I could see that this middle-aged man took the role of Duan Bo's adoptive daughter's father and handed her over to Paul, just like acting.

"Who is this middle-aged man?" I couldn't help but ask. Duan Bo turned off the TV and said that he didn't know who it was, and I said that you didn't call your daughter, she had to have an explanation, what is it.

Duan Bo shook his head: "There's no need, since I'm afraid that I will embarrass her, there must be someone to be a parent, I can understand." "I think you can understand this, and you are really open-minded, no one can do this except parents, and children are the same. When I was leaving, I suddenly saw that many photos in the photo frame on the wall were missing, and when I looked closely, I found that those who had disappeared were those with Duan Bo's adopted daughter, leaving only a single photo of Duan Bo when he was young. I saw that these photos were not thrown away, but neatly placed on the table.

I picked up the photo and looked at it, there was no one missing, I said: "Even if your adopted daughter disappoints you, you don't have to take down her photo, you just treat her as if she was still her former daughter, and it's not bad to look at it when she is lonely!" Duan Bo shook his head with a smile, saying that he had forgotten it and didn't want to mention it again. Seeing him like this, I knew that this incident would definitely hit him hard, and I didn't want to poke the old scars again.

Suddenly, Duan Bo asked me, "Boss Tian, do you have any children?" I smiled and said that I don't have a girlfriend yet, but sooner or later I will have one. Duan Bo nodded, took out a red envelope from the drawer, bulging, he handed it to me, and said that it was a good bag for his daughter's marriage, and I must accept it. I hurriedly didn't accept it, because I knew that Hong Kong people can send profit packets, and the ordinary ones can be 20 yuan denominations, but married people must use 100 denominations to send red envelopes to unmarried people. And judging from the thickness of this red envelope, there are 100 pieces to say the least, that is, nearly 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. A normal lixi bag will definitely not be so big, but Duan Bo is in a special situation now, and it is definitely not normal to send me so much money, of course I can't ask for it.

Duan Bo stuffed it into my hand: "For people of my age, money is no longer important, I am about to retire, and the pension sent to me by Boss Xian is enough for me to live until I die, you don't have to worry." Boss Tian, although the insect powder you sell, not everyone may use it to do this kind of thing to me, and it may even be used to kill people. But when I use it to keep my daughter and my family, I feel that you are also helping others to do good. And if I hadn't known you, I wouldn't have been able to put this thing down completely. So you're a good guy and I want to thank you. ”

To be honest, these words made me very embarrassed, I had never heard of selling insects and reducing powder as a good deed, and I felt a little fever on my face, as if I had been slapped twice. Duan Bo asked me to put the red envelope in my purse, and said with a smile: "What my daughter said that day is very difficult to hear, but some of the words are actually true. Do you know what is the greatest happiness in the world?"

I shook my head and said I didn't know, Duan Bo said: "The greatest happiness is not love, but raising your child from childhood to adulthood, and seeing her grow from a baby who can only eat and sleep to a high-achieving student wearing a doctor's hat, that kind of happiness can't be described in any words." My daughter is right, in this world, people do everything for a purpose, I have thought many times, back then I could give up everything to raise her, maybe it was also a purpose, I wanted to let myself experience this kind of happiness, is that also selfish? So, I have no right to blame her. ”
