In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 78: To prevent others from snatching Xie's second sister, Liang Hongling deliberately adopted her as her goddaughter

"Come on! Everyone in the country is scrambling to go to the capital! If I go there, will I get the same treatment I have now? Didn't you see that the principal listens to me? Can the schools in the capital let me do whatever I want with projects?"

Xie Wei said half-truthfully.

Old men nowadays don’t have much knowledge and are still easily fooled.

Xie Jianguo didn't say anything. He silently took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to Xie Wei, and put it in his mouth.

It’s still Pegasus at 2 yuan.

I don’t smoke more expensive cigarettes because of a change in my status.

Xie Wei hurriedly took out the Zippo lighter that Li Rui had given him on the battlefield from his pocket, lit it with a "click", and lit the cigarette for Xie Jianguo.

After lighting it for himself, he waved the lighter in front of Xie Jianguo.

"Dad, did you see this? This is American merchandise that the principal captured on the battlefield. He gave it to me because he valued it."

When Xie Jianguo heard that it was captured on the battlefield, he moved closer to take a closer look.

But Xie Wei put it directly in his pocket.

"I don't want yours!"

Xie Wei curled his lips and looked at him, then blew out a puff of smoke.

The old man won't steal it, he will just keep it for himself.

As I recall, didn’t my New Year’s money since childhood and later my own salary always be kept for myself?
"Dad, there are many talented people in the capital, but not many opportunities. My second sister is still young. After four years of college, she doesn't like this place. I have a say in school, so I can assign her back to Chengdu directly."

"But……"

Xie Jianguo still didn't want his daughter to go to that shabby school.

"Dad, if you pass the university entrance exam and become a state cadre, you have to obey the assignment, right? Can you resist what the school tells you to study? You have to obey the assignment after graduation. Do you think my second sister is suitable to be a cadre given her personality? When she is assigned to work as a technician in the desert, tell me if my mom can make things easier for you!"

"..."

Hearing Xie Wei's last words, Xie Jianguo shuddered all over.

If that's the case, Liu Mei would probably fight with me to the death?

Although he was unwilling, Xie Jianguo did not suggest that Xie Rou go to another school.

"I'll be here taking care of my second sister, so my mother won't worry. In winter, there are heaters in the classrooms and dormitories! You can wear short sleeves in the dormitories! You can wear coats at home, and I'll be here exposing my waist..."

Xie Wei comforted the old man.

As a result, the old man glared at him.

"Where's the second sister?"

"In our class. She just started advanced mathematics and wants to attend the class. Dad, she won't be back for a few days, right?"

"how?"

"It's inconvenient for my second sister to live with you in the guesthouse, and it's also expensive. Yesterday I made an agreement with Director Du that my second sister will live at their home. Director Du's wife is a math teacher at the school, and she can help my second sister with her homework."

"Isn't this too much trouble for Director Du?"

Xie Jianguo was surprised.

"No trouble! No trouble! When I first came to your house to pick up Xie Wei, you cooked noodles for us late at night. Now when I think back to that fried egg noodles, my mouth is watering! It smells so good!"

When Xie Wei brought Xie Jianguo, who had bought two cans of malted milk and two bottles of Jiannanchun, to Du Guowang's house, Du Guowang came out to greet them from afar.

He said to Xie Jianguo with a smile, "Just come, why bring anything with you? You're so polite!"

Seeing Du Guowang taking the net bag containing things from his father's hand and saying politely but without any politeness in mind, Xie Wei was full of contempt.

The old guy's shamelessness was constantly refreshing Xie Wei's cognition!

"Where's Xie Rou?"

"Teacher Liang is explaining the questions to her in the study room."

Du Guowang's face was full of smiles.

"..."

Du Guowang's smile was a little abnormal!
Xie Wei suddenly regretted letting Xie Rou live in Du Guowang's house.

Could it be that Liang Hongling wants Xie Rou to learn mathematics?
Du Guowang took Xie Jianguo into the house and said, "Director Xie, we didn't have a good drink last time because we were pressed for time. Knowing you were coming today, I prepared the dishes this morning. Right now, Wang Zheng is cooking in the kitchen! Wang Zheng has always said that he had eaten your fried egg noodles, so he wanted you to try his cooking skills..."

Seeing Xie Wei following behind, Du Guowang turned around and instructed Xie Wei:

"Xie Wei, go help Wang Zheng. I'll talk to your father about cooperation."

He didn't even give Xie Wei a chance to speak.

Got it!
Let’s see how long you can be so proud!

After Wang Zheng left... Seeing that Du Guowang didn't treat him as an outsider at all and used him as much as he could, Xie Wei began to look forward to the scene after Wang Zheng left, when Du Guowang, who couldn't even light a coal stove, would be scolded by Liang Hongling.

"Is this the Chinese New Year, or are Director Du and the others not planning to celebrate it?"

Xie Wei entered the kitchen and saw that the originally empty chopping board was now filled with things, including chicken, duck, fish and meat. Xie Wei's eyes widened.

"Teacher Liang and the principal will be here soon. Some of these were done with the principal's money. Don't just stand there and help. The water in the pot is boiling, so pluck the dragon's hair."

Wang Zheng, who was killing fish, called on Xie Wei to help.

The bighead carp in his hand must have weighed seven or eight kilograms.

"The principal and the others don't know what's going on at Teacher Liang's home?"

Xie Wei was very confused.

Liang Hongling and Du Guowang couldn't even light their coal stove, so Li Rui and his friends actually went to Du Guowang's house to buy things and share the cost?
What a fuss!

"I know. We still have you and me!"

Wang Zheng smiled and said, "Director Wu will come over to help in a while. His cooking is delicious."

"..."

Xie Wei didn't know what to say, and had no choice but to roll up his sleeves to help.

Even if you can't kill the chicken, you can still help pluck its feathers.

"Director Du, are you kidding?"

In the room, Du Guowang's words made Xie Jianguo's eyes widen.

His face was full of disbelief.

"Hey, Old Xie, I won't hide it from you. After my kid died on the island, only Xie Wei came. Occasionally, I could see a smile on her face. In the afternoon, she brought Xie Rou to my office to find me. When she told me this request, I was dumbfounded."

Du Guowang explained with a wry smile.

"..."

Xie Jianguo felt bad when he heard that the other party's son had died.

No parent wants to face the tragedy of seeing their child die before them.

But when he thought of Du Guowang's request, Director Xie became confused.

Xie Jianguo had never thought that Du Guowang would make such a request: Liang Hongling hoped that Xie Jianguo would agree to recognize Xie Rou as his goddaughter!
"Old Xie, you don't have to think too much. After we adopt you as our goddaughter, it will be convenient for me and Teacher Liang to take care of her at school. She is so young, how can it be more convenient to live in a dormitory than at home?"

"Xie Rou's personality is a bit..."

Xie Jianguo's mind went blank.

"It's because her personality is very similar to Teacher Liang's that Teacher Liang had this idea. To be honest, we were planning to have another daughter, but unfortunately... When Teacher Liang saw Xie Rou, she fell in love with her at first sight and said that she was just like the daughter she imagined. What's more, Xie Rou also liked Teacher Liang..."

Du Guowang continued to strike while the iron was hot.

Xie Jianguo was confused and didn't know how to answer.

No preparation at all.

"How about asking Xie Wei for his opinion?"

"Why are you asking him? You are the father! Xie Rou is willing, and the father agrees. When we have time later, we will go to Rongcheng to visit the mother-in-law... The mother-in-law should not object, right?"

"She would love to."

Du Guowang and his wife are both university professors and intellectuals. How could Liu Mei object?
"So you agree."

Seeing Du Guowang's expectant face, Xie Jianguo couldn't refuse and could only say, "As long as Xie Rou agrees, I have no objection."

"That's fine. I won't ask you if Xie Rou doesn't agree. Old Xie, please tell me the details of the Hongguang Factory."

After convincing Xie Jianguo, Du Guowang decisively changed the subject.

Don't let him think too much.

In the evening, during dinner.

Du Guowang raised his wine cup and said, "Today is a happy day. Thank you, Principal Li, for coming here in person to witness it..."

What the hell?

Du Guowang and Liang Hongling adopted Xie Rou as their goddaughter?

Xie Wei was confused.

The couple changed their tactics.

In order to let Xie Rou focus on mathematics and prevent other majors from snatching her away, he deliberately adopted Xie Rou as his goddaughter?
"I disagree!"

Mathematics, you have to be bald!
