Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 102 I don't need outsiders to worry about my Cao family's affairs!

"Sure enough, it's the letter from the elder sister. It seems that the elder sister's life is not easy over there."

It was Cao Zhiqiang who made this sigh.

After Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng left, Cao Zhiqiang went back to his room, opened the envelope and read the letter.

What?Why don't you make dinner first?
Cao Zhiqiang didn't plan to make dinner at all.

Because Cao Zhiqiang had already ordered a meal with a nearby restaurant on the way here, and asked them to prepare the meal and deliver it directly.

Although Cao Zhiqiang's current cooking skills are very good, especially his knife skills and spoon skills, there are people in the world who can compare with him, and it is estimated that he can count them on one hand.

As for other culinary requirements, he also has a super recipe "Chinese Cuisine: Three Thousands of Hungry You" with extremely complete steps.

But the problem is that you can cook, but you don't necessarily like cooking.

It's like a super chef in a five-star hotel is very good, but he may not like to continue cooking for himself when he returns home.

In the same way, although Cao Zhiqiang has skills, he is too lazy to cook, and he is not the kind of person who is particularly picky about taste.

Especially after he had money, he became even more lazy to cook.

Therefore, even if he has top-notch knife skills and top-notch spoons, as well as the supreme secret skill of the chef world in the book "Chinese Cuisine: Three Thousands of Hungry You", he still doesn't like cooking.

In Cao Zhiqiang's view, if you have the skill to cook, it's better to add a few words.

Of course, if you are bored and want to move quietly, or if you want to shock the girl for the sake of picking up the girl, then it is still okay to show your hand once in a while.

Having said that, this letter was indeed from Cao Jiajia, Cao Zhiqiang's sister.

But this time, the content is not to ask my mother to help me transfer jobs, but to borrow money, or ask for money.

The content of the letter is very simple, that is, Cao Jiajia's husband, that is, Cao Zhiqiang's brother-in-law Xia Siming, has kidney stones and needs surgery, but the couple don't have enough money, so I hope my mother can send some money to them.

In addition to the letter, there was also a medical record issued by the hospital, which stated the condition of brother-in-law Xia Siming.

Even the medical records were sent over, obviously to prove that he was not lying and that he really needed money for the surgery.

Seeing this, Cao Zhiqiang couldn't help sighing.

In this era, the country does not yet have a comprehensive medical insurance policy. The so-called medical insurance is reimbursed by the unit, and it depends on the unit's own policy.

Generally speaking, state-owned enterprises with good benefits have a wider scope of reimbursement and a higher reimbursement amount, but if it is a unit with average benefits, reimbursement is difficult.

If it's a common minor illness, it's better to prescribe some cheap medicine.

But if it's an operation, the money is often not reimbursed, and basically you have to pay for it yourself.

Thinking back when Qin Huairu was hospitalized by Jia Zhang's anger, the medical expenses were paid by Shazhu, and the unit had never been reimbursed. At that time, Qin Huairu was already a regular worker in the Red Star Rolling Mill.

The Red Star Rolling Mill is an old state-owned enterprise, even more powerful than the Hongguang Machinery Factory, and that kind of factory is not reimbursed, let alone a factory in a small, remote town in the third tier.

However, what really made Cao Zhiqiang sigh was not this, but the amount that the eldest sister asked for.

Cao Jiajia wrote this letter, how much does it cost?

300 yuan!
Just for 300 yuan, sister Cao Jiajia did not hesitate to show her face and asked her mother for help.

The reason why he said he did not hesitate to save face was because Cao Zhiqiang remembered that his brother-in-law and his sister were actually very face-saving people. They had never asked the family for money before. people.

Now that he asked for money, he probably couldn't make up the money.

Thinking about it, even though my elder sister and brother-in-law are dual-career workers, they have three children to raise, and they live in a small place, their wages are not high, and their daily consumption is estimated to be tight, so they can't save much money.

If there is something wrong with it, a serious illness suddenly occurs, and you can get 300 yuan at once, which is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

You know, Cao Jiajia is only 35 years old, and her brother-in-law Xia Siming is only 36 years old. Both of them belong to young workers. As long as such people are not special talents, they generally won't get too high wages.

"Forget it." Cao Zhiqiang sighed, "Anyway, I don't have much money. I'll go to the post office tomorrow morning and send money to my sister."

As soon as I mentioned this, Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "No, my sister's place is a small county with limited medical facilities, so it's better to take her to the capital for treatment, which is much safer.

What's more, if it is remittance, most of the cases are now credit remittance, which is too slow.

Of course, wire transfer is the best, and the speed is fast, but I don't have my sister's phone number.

She never seemed to say the number over there, and I don't even know the name of her factory.

The letter only has a mailing address on it, and there is no phone number. According to the situation of this era, I have to write him a letter first, and give her my phone number in the letter, and ask her to call me. Then discuss on the phone.

After all, you have to write a letter first.

Oh, what a hassle. If I want to write a letter, I might as well just fly over there.

It seems that there is a direct flight from Beijing to Guiyang, and the most is to transfer in Nanjing.

Yes, by plane! "

Cao Zhiqiang figured it out, so he simply borrowed this matter and asked for a letter of introduction from the unit, then went to buy a plane ticket, and took the plane directly to Guiyang.

If everything goes well, then it should be faster for him to fly to the small town where his sister lives than by post.

Just as I was thinking this, there was a knock on the door.

After Cao Zhiqiang received the letter, he went to open the door and found that it was Xu Damao who came.

"Uncle Xu...Uncle Xu?" Cao Zhiqiang asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Indeed, Cao Zhiqiang had almost no contact with Xu Damao's family, and he never thought that Xu Damao would actually visit him.

Xu Damao was carrying two bottles of canned food at this time, and said with a smile on his face: "Cao Zhiqiang, I'm here to drop by, and I'll give you two bottles of canned food by the way, to satisfy the child's hunger. Why, you're not welcome?"

Cao Zhiqiang blinked, thinking about not hitting the smiling face with his hand, so he opened the door and let Xu Damao in.

After entering, Xu Damao first put two bottles of canned food on the table, and then looked around: "Oh, your house is well organized and clean."

Immediately afterwards, Xu Damao said to the tape recorder on the cabinet: "Yo, the tape recorder is good, Shanghai brand, you are the first one in our hospital to buy a tape recorder, I haven't bought one yet.

By the way, I heard that you also bought a big color TV, a [-]-inch gold star?
Oh, you can buy a [-]-inch color TV, it's amazing.

It's not like the TV at my house, it's only nine inches, and it's black and white, it's not as good as yours. "

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Look at what you said, you are the first one to buy a TV in our yard. Even if I have a color TV, I am behind you, it's different."

"That's true." Xu Damao smiled, "The first one to buy a TV is indeed me, Xu Damao.

To be honest, it’s not that I can’t afford a color TV, and I can get a ticket, but I think I have a TV at home, and it’s always good to watch and I can hear it clearly, so I’m not willing to change it.

But thinking about it now, it's time to keep pace with the times.

Hurry up tomorrow, I'll go see another color TV too. "

Cao Zhiqiang followed suit with a smile, and then asked, "Well, you came to see me, what's the matter? Tell me what you have to say."

Xu Damao blinked, looked left and right, rubbed his hands together and said, "Just stand there and say?"

"Ah, sit down, sit down!" Cao Zhiqiang asked Xu Damao to sit down quickly.

After Xu Damao sat down, Cao Zhiqiang also sat down: "Can we talk now?"

Xu Damao nodded: "Succeed, I know you are a happy person, and I won't play tricks with you. Then, Cao Zhiqiang, I will go to the Three Treasures Hall if I have nothing to do when I come here today."

After a pause, Xu Damao asked: "I just met Yu Li and Yan Xie as a couple, did they come to you just now?"

Cao Zhiqiang blinked and nodded: "Ah, yes, I have been here."

Xu Damao smiled: "They asked you to borrow money, right?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded.

Xu Damao shook his head: "If you want me to say, you are still too young. They are ulterior motives. Borrowing money is false, and wanting a child is true!"

"Want a child?" Cao Zhiqiang was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

Xu Damao said: "Let me tell you this, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, I know them well, if they want to borrow money, they won't borrow from you, his father has a lot of money.

Although Yan Laoxi is deadly, he is Yan Jiecheng's father after all.

And Yu Li's method is better than blue than blue.

If Yu Li was really determined to use tricks on Yan Laoxi, Yan Laoxi's money would definitely not be kept.

So, they came to you and said they were borrowing money, but it was actually an excuse to check your situation.

Their real plan is to adopt your sister's sister, that girl named Qiao Simi!
The purpose? It's not hard to guess.

Who doesn't know that you are kind to my sister.

If he and his wife adopted Qiao Simei, and then borrowed money from you, with Qiao Simei's relationship, why don't you borrow money?
Even if they ask you to borrow money, they may not have to pay interest, and if they don't pay it back, they will say nothing, which is a good deal.

So, he and his wife adopted Qiao Simei with bad intentions, and the purpose was to use Qiao Simei to manipulate you, so as to make more money from you! "

"What?" Cao Zhiqiang was really shocked this time, "Uncle Xu, is what you said true?"

"Then it's still fake?" Xu Damao curled his lips, "They can lie to you, but they can't lie to me!"

Cao Zhiqiang frowned and said, "But they said they wanted to borrow money from me to open a restaurant. It doesn't look like a fake."

Xu Damao raised his eyebrows: "Then did you borrow it?"

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head: "I don't have enough money recently, and I have to spend money in many places, so I didn't agree to them."

"That's right!" Xu Damao hurriedly said, "Don't talk about the truth of borrowing money, even if they really ask you to borrow money to open a restaurant, they can't borrow it!
Doing business is risky, who can guarantee a stable profit?

If they lose money, who do you care who wants the money? "

"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a smile, "So I didn't borrow it."

"That's right!" Xu Damao nodded, "But, again, I know them too well, they must have thought a long time ago that they can't borrow money from you.

So, they know they can't borrow money from you, but they still come to you, they can only take the opportunity to make friends with you, take a look at Qiao Simei by the way, and then find a chance to tell you to adopt Qiao Si beautiful thing. "

Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "Can't you?"

"Why not." Xu Damao said, "I ask you, if they really proposed to adopt Qiao Simi in name, the purpose is to let Qiao Simi settle in the capital and let Qiao Simi go to school here seriously, would you Don't agree?"

Cao Zhiqiang immediately shook his head: "I don't agree."

"Huh?" Xu Damao was taken aback, but nodded quickly, "That's good, that's good, it's fine if you don't agree."

Immediately afterwards, Xu Damao felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to continue talking.

Suddenly, Xu Damao rolled his eyes, and brought up a new topic: "By the way, Cao Zhiqiang, I've heard about you and Bang Geng.

Stick this guy, since I was a child, I knew he was not a thing, a typical white-eyed wolf.

You, you shouldn't associate with their family, including that Sophora japonica, who is not a good person, so you'd better not associate with her either.

Let me tell you, there are no good people in Qin Huairu's family. Once you get involved with Qin Huairu's family, nothing good will happen, you know? "

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Yes, I know."

"Huh? Smart!" Xu Damao squinted his eyes and smiled, "Why don't you say that you are a smart person, it seems that you already knew that Qin Huairu's family is not easy to mess with.

Also, only smart people can make a lot of money, you are so rich now, you must be a smart person.

Since you already have a bottom line in your heart, I am relieved and won't say more about it. "

"Hehe." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, but didn't answer.

Xu Damao rolled his eyes again, then smiled and said, "That's it.

Cao Zhiqiang, I heard that your second younger sister, Qiao Simei, came here from Nanjing by herself and has been staying here for many days, right? "

Cao Zhiqiang squinted his eyes and nodded: "Yes."

Xu Damao also nodded: "I also heard that you plan to let Qiao Simei settle down here to go to school, isn't it?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled again: "Yes!"

Xu Damao smiled: "Then, you are a smart person, you should know that Qiao Simei's household registration is in Nanjing, and if she wants to go to school here, she must first move her household registration here.

How do I move my account?

You can't get her dad over here, it's not appropriate.

So the best way is to find a local, a suitable person who knows everything about her, and adopt Qiao Simei.

Yu Li and Yan Xiecheng must not be a couple. They have ulterior motives, and it would be a bad thing for Qiao Simei to be adopted by them.

Your own words are not suitable, you are not qualified for adoption.

But, look, Jingru and I, oh, is my wife, your Aunt Qin, neither of us have children.

Then, we live near here, my house is big, I have saved a lot of money over the years, and the key is that I know a lot of people.

As for my daughter-in-law, she really likes that child, Simei, and so do I.

So, can our family adopt Qiao Simei?
Yan Jiecheng and I are different from them!
If Qiao Simei recognizes me as her father, I will not treat her badly, and I will raise her as my own daughter, and I will give her everything that is good.

Of course, I also know the relationship between you brothers and sisters.

So, if we adopt Qiao Simei, if Qiao Simei is still happy with you, that's fine.

Anyway, we just want to adopt a child, just go out and don't let people point out.

Specifically, such as the name of the child, it is not necessary to change it.

What's more, if Qiao Simi is willing to be with you, she's up to her.

In this way, if Qiao Simei is adopted by me and falls into my household, wouldn't she be able to go to school here in the capital justifiably?

Also, if I need to go to Nanjing once to go through the normal adoption procedures with the child's father, I can also go in person.

I cover all the travel expenses, board and lodging.

All in all, I really like that child Qiao Simi. If Qiao Simi will recognize me as her father and be adopted by our family, my wife and I will promise not to treat her badly.

Also, we adopted her, so she can continue to live with you. In the future, we will come and go frequently, and we will discuss and deal with a lot of people, and I know a lot of people. If you want to do anything in the future, as long as I can do it Yes, I appointed you to do it.

So you see, this matter is beneficial to you and me, right? "

"I see." Cao Zhiqiang sighed, "So you also came up with Qiao Simei's idea."

"You can't say that." Xu Damao said, "My wife and I both like Qiao Simei, and it's completely different from Yu Liyan Xiecheng.

Then, we do this not only for us, but also for you, a win-win cooperation.

Anyway, from my point of view, it is absolutely impossible to take Qiao Simei to ask for money and borrow money from you, I can't lose that face!
We dare not say anything else, but in this compound, I, Xu Damao, are poor in everything else, except money!
It's a pity, your Aunt Qin and I have never had a child, and I can't really divorce her just to have a child. It's not good-looking, so I thought about adopting a child.

I really want to adopt Qiao Simi as my daughter.

By the way, if Qiao Simi becomes my daughter, our two families will become one family.

From now on, your business is my business.

For example, if you want to transfer a job, or arrange a good school for Qiao Simei, I will take care of it all! "

"You have a good idea, and what you said makes sense." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "But I'm sorry, I don't have such an idea, and neither does Qiao Simei, so please go back."

Xu Damao was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly said: "Wait, you don't really want Qiao Simi to be Yu Liyan's daughter as a couple, do you?

Let me tell you, these two people are not good people, if Qiao Simei wants to follow them, nothing will happen after that. "

Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "I never thought about letting them adopt Qiao Simei. In short, neither your family nor Yan Xie's family is suitable."

"Then who do you plan to let her adopt?" Xu Damao frowned, "It can't be Shazhu and Qin Huairu, right? That's even worse, who is that family? Are you afraid that Qiao Simei will learn from her in the past?"

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head: "Of course it's not their family... In short, Uncle Xu, I accept your kindness, but please don't worry about our family's affairs."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang stood up and said: "Okay, that's it, there's nothing else, please go back, and take the cans, too."

Xu Damao frowned and stood up: "Cao Zhiqiang, don't you think about it anymore?"

"I've thought about it very clearly." Cao Zhiqiang lowered his face and said calmly, "But, I don't need outsiders to worry about my Cao family's affairs!"

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang stretched out his hand towards the door with a blank face: "So, thank you for your kindness, but now, please go back, and walk slowly!"
