Chapter 644: Chapter 604: Do Not Deceive the Young and Poor! _3
Like a child like him, how could he possibly et them.
But if dad was upset, he would think of another way, after all, he was growing up day by day, and once he was a bit older, mom wouldn’t have to struggle so much, he would definitely be able to cure grandma and dad’s illnesses and send his sister to school.
Mr. Xiang touched his face, feeling guilty as he looked at his son and then glanced at his timid daughter standing at the door.
Both he and his wife felt guilty toward Xiang Yang, very guilty. If they hadn’t insisted on keeping Xiao Xing back then, Xiang Yang would definitely be attending high school at the Tenghai Research Base, and they would be living at the base, he would still be driving his truck, and his wife would be working in the cafeteria.
Their combined salaries would now exceed over one thousand yuan. If he hadn’t left the Tenghai Research Base, he wouldn’t have had the car accident and wouldn’t have caused his father to die early and his mother to fall severely ill.
But life doesn’t co with that many “what ifs,” and he didn’t regret it.
Their little daughter was lovely, sensible, and smart. When his wife wasn’t ho, he and his mother relied entirely on this child. An eight-year-old child could braise rice, steam coarse grain buns, and even cook dishes.
The little girl busied herself like a little adult every day, but the more sensible the child was, the worse he and his wife felt.
In this era, children her age were cherished by their parents like precious gems, they would be attending school, wearing floral dresses in sumr, and donning beautiful down jackets in winter. But his Xiao Xing wore hand--downs, and he glanced at the shoes on the child’s feet, which had been given to her by the neighbor’s sister, two sizes too big.
Though warm, Xiao Xing’s attire appeared baggy and dragging, as if a little beggar had stolen an adult’s shoes.
It was they who had burdened their two children.
Mr. Xiang was extrely distressed, he placed his hand over his chest, How had their life co to this?
Being fired from his job for having excess children wasn’t unique to him alone, but perhaps only his life had turned out so tragically. He beckoned with his hand, “Xiao Xing, co here.”
Xiang Xing slowly moved over and stood by Old Xiang’s bed, considerately stuffing another pillow behind his back.
The room was a bit chilly, she tucked in the quilt for Old Xiang, sothing she often did.
The little girl leaned gently against Old Xiang, looking up at him, both cute and lovable.
Old Xiang wished he could slap himself. How could he and his wife bla Xiao Xing? If they hadn’t insistently brought her into this world, Xiao Xing could have been the little princess in another family.
Instead, from the mont she was born, she had to endure such a hard life following them in their unstable life.
He finally spoke, his voice hoarse and slightly choking with emotion, “… that lady’s na is Qiao Qingyu, a very good person. When Chen Sheng first arrived at the base, I looked after him a while, he’s a decent man too. Dad was wrong, Dad cared too much about face, and made you all suffer so much.”
He wiped his face and continued, “When your mom cos back, tell her the good news, prepare the household registration book and photos, head over early tomorrow to register, let your mom take you, do well there and try to beco a permanent employee, don’t let down Aunt Qiao’s trust in you.”
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yang felt a weight lift off his stomach.
He broke into a wide smile, jubilantly cheering and spinning around the room, even jumping a few tis, his eyes sparkling as he clasped his hands, “Dad, I will definitely work hard, don’t worry, I won’t disgrace you and I won’t let Aunt Qiao and Uncle Chen down.”
Old Xiang seed to feel as if he’d shed so burden, feeling less depressed, he smiled and said, “Go tell your grandma.”
Xiang Yang bounced off towards the outer door, where Old Xiang’s mother lived in another room.
Just reaching the doorway, the child suddenly rembered sothing, quickly ca back, took the money out of his pocket, and placed it on Old Xiang’s quilt, “Dad, this is what Uncle Chen gave , I just counted it, it’s exactly 128, I spent three yuan on these books, and the remaining 125 are right here, Uncle Chen said he lent this money, and I can pay him back once I start getting paid.”
Old Xiang also let out a long breath, Chen Sheng’s kindness, he had to accept it, integrity was necessary, but one must also recognize kindness.
Returning the money would truly waste Chen Sheng’s good intentions.
Qiao Qingyu, back at the base, made a call to the pig farm’s manager, informing him that a new temporary worker would be joining the next day.
The manager agreed enthusiastically, with just one or two people missing, a lot of people were now looking to get in, almost a hundred were trying to use connections to secure a position.
It was actually the first ti Qiao Qingyu had arranged for soone in his departnt, giving face to the leadership was a must.
And Qiao Qingyu genuinely wanted to help Xiang Yang.
