 Chapter 291. Recognize as godparent

Uncle Wang, who was not short of money, was eating dumplings in the library.

"Your dad makes such a big dumpling and can he make some money?" Uncle Wang said.

"My dad said that he got to let his customers be full. And it's okay if he doesn't make a lot of money." Zhou Kai answered.

"The shop is your own, so it's okay." Uncle Wang nodded.

Because it was their own, they don't need to pay any additional rent. It didn't matter if they earn more or less. Just got something to do, so it won't be too boring.

Uncle Wang himself was like that.

He wasn't short of money, but he came to Bei University Management Library to help out. That way, he won't be too bored.

"Grandpa, enjoy. I'll go out to play basketball. You don't need to wash it. I will bring it back to wash it later. You can't wash the oiliness here." Zhou Kai reminded.

"Go." Uncle Wang nodded.

Zhou Kai went to play basketball. Uncle Wang ate the dumplings in his food box and watched this kid play basketball.

He was a young man. Full of energy. Zhou Kai came back after a while and came to collect the food box. He said, "Grandpa, I'll go back first."

"Haven't paid yet." Uncle Wang called out.

"Don't give me money. Next time, if you go out and see any good books, just buy it for me." Uncle Wang agreed to his suggestion.

As for Aunt Ma's proposal of recognizing as a godparent, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai had discussed it at night.

"Uncle Wang is very kind to Da Wa. He always brings some good books from outside and passes it to him." Lin Qing He chatted.

It was like treating him as a grandson.

He made things a lot easier for the family. The reason why this place was transferred to the school was to let her family live in this place.

Also, the dumpling shop. Uncle Wang had helped them choose it.

"It's just that he is too rich. It makes people think we want to take advantage of him." Lin Qing He said.

Being away from home, having a relative in the capital would be very nice.

"We'll see." Zhou Qing Bai didn't say anything.

He had met Uncle Wang. When he first opened the store, Uncle Wang often came over.

The matter of recognizing a godparent was put aside.

The days passed as usual. But as far as the family's debt gratitude to Uncle Wang was concerned, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai would not stand by idly if something happened to him.

Aunt Ma had mentioned it. But after that, the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was perfect.

If it were to happen, then old Wang will have protection in the future.

As for Lin Qing He's worries. What kind of worries were they? They will be supporting old Wang to the end of his life. Old Wang's things left to her were naturally justified.

How can it not work out?

However, she was engaged with work now. She had no time to go out to purposely find Lao Wang.

Moreover, Uncle Wang rarely came to the shop. He was mostly in the library. It was not until half a month later when Aunt Ma saw Uncle Wang out for a stroll.

"Oh, old Wang."  Aunt Ma broke out into a grin when she saw Uncle Wang.

"Why are you doing the dishes here?" Uncle Wang hadn't come over for a long time. He didn't know that Aunt Ma had already received one month's salary.

"I have been working here for a month." Since Aunt Ma got the job, she felt more lively every day.

Although the hours were quite long, the hours spent in a day on working were less than three hours.

When they were done, she just sat on the stool. Helping them choose dishes was very simple.

Just yesterday, the salary of twenty yuan was paid. Aunt Ma was very happy.

"This shop pack so much filling and you can still afford to hire people." Uncle Wang teased Zhou Qing Bai.

Zhou Qing Bai smiled and said, "Uncle have a cucumber or tomato?"

"Give me a tomato." Uncle Wang didn't hold back.

Zhou Qing Bai grabbed him a tomato, which was already washed and had been placed in the basket.

Uncle Wang sat and chatted with Aunt Ma for a while. When Uncle Wang was about to leave, Aunt Ma came out and called him: "Old Wang, wait for me."

"What's the matter?" Uncle Wang was puzzled.

"Old Wang, have you ever thought about recognizing Xiao Kai's father as a godson?" Aunt Ma went straight to the point.

"Who suggested this?" Uncle Wang was shocked and stared at Aunt Ma.

"I did." Aunt Ma replied, "I think it's perfect. You become related to Xiao Kai's father. From now on, Xiao Kai and his brothers will be your grandsons."

Uncle Wang hadn't thought about this before. But what Aunt Ma said made this old man's heart moved.

He truly treated Zhou Kai as a grandson. If his son and daughter-in-law hadn't fled abroad at that time, his grandson must be this old now.

But so far, no news had come back.

He heard that the ship seemed to have sunk.

Uncle Wang knew that his son and daughter-in-law had most likely met with misfortune. If not, why won't they even send a letter back for so many years?

"What do you think? I think it's perfect. However, Teacher Lin seems unwilling. She's afraid that people will say she's coveting your money." Aunt Ma explained.

"Covet my money? She has an unlimited future as an English teacher. Her three children are all sensible and a man is capable of bearing responsibility." Uncle Wang said.

Aunt Ma agreed: "Isn't that right? If the couple agrees to this, you will be able to have someone to take care of you in the future. It's not just me saying this. Even if you leave them all the property, there's nothing wrong. Not giving it to those who care for you to your end-of-life, then who are you going to give it to?"

Uncle Wang nodded.

He actually didn't have much money. Just over 10,000 yuan. He also had a job in a library and a courtyard dwelling.

"If you think it's fine, I'll discuss it for you. It's not a trivial matter to recognize a godchild. If you thought it through, you can come over and let me know." Aunt Ma continued.

"Alright." Uncle Wang nodded and went back.

Aunt Ma went back inside and told Zhou Qing Bai: "Xiao Kai’s father, I think the godparent matter is a good choice. I heard Teacher Lin said that Xiao Kai will join the army in the future? Old Wang has connections. Also, old Wang and the principal of Bei University are old acquaintances. Teacher Lin's future development will be unlimited."

"We're not seeking these." Zhou Qing Bai shook his head.

"I know, but that's what I said. Teacher Lin worries too much. Is it necessary to be afraid of others talking? If I am old Wang, then I am the only one left in the family. Whoever provides for me in old age will receive my things in the future. It's undisputed" Aunt Ma persuaded.

Zhou Qing Bai smiled and said, "Too far in the future. Uncle Wang is in good health. It won't be a problem to live another thirty years."

"He had received a lot of suffering in the early years. It'll be great if he can last for ten years." Aunt Ma shook her head.

"What did Uncle Wang say?" Zhou Qing Bai asked.

"What objection could old Wang have. He's delighted. I let him go back and think about it." Aunt Ma responded.
