Chapter 262
But he was very surprised.
It can even be said that he was completely unexpected.
First of all, this boy was very mature, taking care of him in all aspects, considering the problems very thoroughly, and speaking in a comfortable way.
Secondly, his attitude, which was what touched Tan Zhonghong the most.
He helped to carry the backpack as soon as they met, and supported him when getting on and off the car, without any disdain, good temper, and good upbringing.
He called him uncle all the time, not just saying it nicely, but really treating himself as a junior and respecting Tan Zhonghong.
The poorer the person, the more he has seen the world, and the more sensitive he is.
Tan Zhonghong's cultural level is not high. He has lived at the bottom of society all his life. He has also been subjected to the cold eyes and malice of many people because of his former stubbornness.
He is not very good at speaking, and he doesn't know much about the truth.
But he really thinks this boy is very good and rare.
When he was in the car, Tan Zhonghong saw the look his daughter gave Xiao Xu. He was an experienced person and knew what was going on.
To be honest, he was happy, really happy.
But on the other hand, he was very uneasy and felt particularly insecure.
Tan Zhonghong had asked his family before and learned some information. He knew that Xiao Xu was from the county town, his parents were both working, and he was an only child.
When they met today, he was tall, handsome, and talented. He was also from Jiang University, well-educated, eloquent, and drove an Audi.
He had never met any big shots in his life, so after meeting Xiao Xu, he really felt that this boy was a rare talent and would definitely have a bright future.
But what about his own daughter?
She couldn't speak, had a dull personality, had a sister who was only seven years old, and her father was a disabled person.
So what could he do?
Tan Zhonghong got up and walked to the window with his crutches. He opened the curtains and looked at the sky outside.
The weather was good tonight, with a half moon in the sky, and many stars could be seen.
Tan Zhonghong stayed for a while, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then muttered the name of Zijin's mother who had passed away many years ago:
"Nong Xia, our eldest daughter has grown up, it would be great if you were here."
"I really can't make up my mind about this kind of thing, I don't understand, and I don't know what to do."
"It's still my fault, I don't have any ability, alas..."
He sighed deeply.
After a while, Tan Zhonghong seemed to have figured something out, muttering:
"Xiao Xu has been to our house, he is Zijin's classmate, he knows our family situation, and he treated me like this today, so he must be sincere, right, Nongxia?"
"Yes, yes, yes, he is sincere! As long as he is sincere, it's fine."
"Xiao Xu must be sincere, he really put his heart into the scholarship, he did so much for Zijin and didn't let her say anything, so what else could he want? Isn't it just to be good to our daughter?"
Tan Zhonghong talked to himself, and suddenly felt relieved, wiping his tears but smiling.
Then he lowered his head, paused, and then continued to mutter:
"It's really embarrassing to say this. I didn't recognize our daughter when I saw her today. Zijin used to wear old clothes and pants, was thin, and was afraid of people, but today she is different, beautiful, no worse than other girls!"
"She calls me more often now and talks more. Last time, she told me not to be too tired, saying that she has grown up and will share the burden of the family."
"Nongxia, do you think this is all because of Xiaoxu?"
"Xiaoxu said last night that he respects me. Alas, I am a useless person, what do I have? But he said that Zipei's matter, I, I think he is really right, but..."
"Nongxia, do you think I should listen to Xiaoxu? Xiaoxu said he was afraid that Zipei would get electrocuted if she climbed high. My heart was in pain. What if... I, I!"
Tan Zhonghong wiped away another tear, gritted his teeth, and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
He stared blankly at the sky for a long time.
It was late at night.
Finally, Tan Zhonghong took a deep breath.
He seemed to have figured out a lot of things and made up his mind.
"Xiao Xu said that it was your blessing from heaven, and good luck had come. This child is so good at talking."
"Nong Xia, I know you have been worried about Zijin and Zipei. Now it's all right. I can hand over Zijin with confidence. I really can't find fault with Xiao Xu's child."
"I will listen to Xiao Xu this time. He is right. The key to Zipei is these few years of studying. Don't worry, I can't let Zipei be the same as Zijin."
"Xiao Xu said that Zipei is a good seedling and will be able to enter Tsinghua and Peking University in the future. If she really passes the exam, I will go to your grave that day and set off firecrackers for three days and three nights. I want to let everyone in Tuanqiao Township know that our daughter is not shameful, not inferior toOther families are worse off! ! "
Tan Zhonghong said these last words with red eyes and gritted teeth!
I have suffered too much pain and anger in my heart over the years!
The money was spent in those years, and the people left. The relatives who borrowed money from the family made a fuss and even asked Tan Zhonghong to let Tan Zijin, who had just entered high school, stop studying, saying that a girl might as well go out and work in a garment factory with others, and earn three or four thousand a month.
Tan Zhonghong knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying that the child had to study, and this was the only wish left by her mother before she left!
He said that he was selling blood and selling I have to give up my kidneys to my two daughters!
It was the 29th day of the lunar year, and Tan Zhonghong really knelt on the ground. After the relatives dispersed, he turned around and saw Tan Zijin standing behind the door.
The eldest daughter started to talk less from that time.
But it was also from that time that she studied so hard that Tan Zhonghong felt distressed.
In fact, for so many years, Tan Zhonghong never knew how to get along with his eldest daughter.
He felt distressed and guilty, but he had no ability. Sometimes he didn't know what to say when he made a phone call.
The admission results came out On that day, Tan Zhonghong ran to the gate of the nearest university on crutches, looking at the college students and thinking about his daughter going to college.
In the evening, he called his daughter and told her to buy some new clothes by herself and not to worry about the money.
He also wanted to send his eldest daughter to college. Hasn't he been looking forward to this day for so many years? But he was inconvenient because of his lame leg, and he was even more afraid that his disabled appearance would bring shame to his daughter.
…
Tan Zhonghong went to bed at almost four o'clock.
At six fifty in the morning, he was awakened by a phone call.
He picked it up and saw that it was Xiao Xu, then quickly answered the call.
The other end first asked hello, then said that the hotel was booked for two nights and that it could not be refunded, so Tan Zhonghong could stay there with peace of mind, and that he would drive Tan Zhonghong back to his hometown tomorrow, which was the weekend.
Tan Zhonghong quickly said that it was not necessary, and that he could just take the bus back this afternoon.
Xiao Xu on the other end said that uncle, you should stay one more day, and it happened that Zijin would go with you tomorrow. If you drive fast from Lucheng to home, it would only take three hours round trip. He also wanted to see Zipei, and Zijin also missed home.
This left Tan Zhonghong speechless again.
