Chapter 127: Niu Xiaogang asks for help
No matter how tough a person is, he will face the problem of pension when he is old, and Fang Dongping is no exception.
He has a strange personality and usually never asks for help, but as he gets older, he has to think about the issue of pension. If you are too old to walk and no one takes care of you, it will be really miserable, and you can only lie down and wait for death.
Niu Xiaoqiang grinned: "Master, although we are not our own grandchildren, but our relationship is closer than that of our grandchildren, you can put a hundred hearts, I will take good care of you in the future, and I will definitely not be a white-eyed wolf." β
Fang Dongping knows Niu Xiaoqiang very well, and knows that even if he doesn't take the initiative to mention this stubble, Niu Xiaoqiang will do his filial piety. The main reason for bringing up this topic is to give yourself psychological comfort.
He used to have a happy family, but because of the impact, this happy family has long been shattered, and it can be described as extremely lacking in terms of affection.
After listening to Niu Xiaoqiang's assurance, Fang Dongping was relieved and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, well, Master will count on you in the future." β
Niu Xiaoqiang put the things Fang Dongping gave to him in order, and raised his eyes to look at the wide river. At this moment, he was like an arrow, and when he thought of his parents' happy smile when they saw him go home with so many good things, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but feel a great sense of accomplishment.
He thought more than once about helping his family share the financial pressure, and he also took substantial steps towards this, and followed Fang Dongping to work and earn money at a young age. But in the past, the harvest was not much, and the improvement in the family's economic situation was not so significant.
This time, he earned forty-six yuan, and he took so many good things home, which can be described as a great reward. With this money, the family does not have to worry about buying pesticides and fertilizers, which can be regarded as solving the urgent needs of the family.
After looking at the scenery for a while, Niu Xiaoqiang took out his book and looked at it. He has always been like this, as long as he has time, he will see the stitches and needles to study hard. Because Niu Xiaoqiang understands such a truth: if you want to make more money, you must improve the knowledge system as soon as possible, whether it is theoretical knowledge or practical ability, you must really master it.
What Fang Dongping is most satisfied with is Niu Xiaoqiang's simple and honest character, followed by his self-motivation that far surpasses others. Seeing Niu Xiaoqiang studying seriously, Fang Dongping couldn't help nodding slightly in approval, and his eyes looking at Niu Xiaoqiang were full of appreciation.
Niu Xiaoqiang read a high school math textbook, and whenever he encountered a difficult problem, he asked Fang Dongping for advice on the spot. Fang Dongping naturally explained carefully, and with the guidance of him, a former university professor, Niu Xiaoqiang learned a lot easier, and his efficiency was greatly improved. By the time the ship docked at the wharf in Aoshan Town, he had already completed more than 20 pages of textbook knowledge.
This speed is absolutely amazing, and anyone who sees it will drop their jaws. But Fang Dongping didn't let out an exclamation, because he had already seen Niu Xiaoqiang's demonic performance, and had accepted the fact that Niu Xiaoqiang had changed from a fool to a genius.
After the two got off the boat, Niu Xiaoqiang carried Fang Dongping's things and sent Fang Dongping to the door of his house.
As soon as he walked to the gate of Fang Dongping's house, Niu Xiaoqiang's original smile disappeared immediately, replaced by disdain.
There was a person sitting in the courtyard, this person was Niu Xiaoqiang's elder brother Niu Xiaogang. For his own brother, Niu Xiaoqiang has no good impression at all. He didn't quite know why Niu Xiaogang was here.
Fang Dongping also felt very strange about Niu Xiaogang sitting in his yard, and said something unpleasant, since he joined the work, Niu Xiaogang has never come to thank his master, as if he had never taught him. Why did this big apprentice with a cold nature come to the door?
Niu Xiaogang looked up when he heard the footsteps, and then stood up with a smile on his face: "Master, you are finally back." β
Fang Dongping actually didn't like this big apprentice very much, if he hadn't played with Niu Dazhuang early, he wouldn't be willing to teach an apprentice like Niu Xiaogang.
Because of Niu Dazhuang's face, Fang Dongping was not very easy to put on his face, he smiled slightly: "It's Xiaogang, do you have anything to do with me?"
Niu Xiaogang stepped forward uncharacteristically to open the courtyard door, took out a pack of Chinese from his pocket very affectionately, took out one and handed it to Fang Dongping: "Master, you smoke, let's sit down and talk slowly." β
As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you are either a traitor or a thief, Niu Xiaogang is so abnormal, it obviously means that he came with a purpose. As for what the purpose is, we will only know this until we have asked.
Fang Dongping took the cigarette with a smile, walked to the stone table and sat down, he looked at the cigarette in his hand, and said with a smile: "Xiao Gang, you can calculate your breath, you actually smoke such a good cigarette, Master stained your light today." β
This sentence seems to be a compliment, but it is actually a satire that Niu Xiaogang is usually too stingy and does not respect him as a master.
Niu Xiaogang is cold by nature, and generally this kind of person has a thicker skin, because if his skin is too thin, it is impossible to become this kind of person.
He didn't seem to have heard Fang Dongping's words, and he didn't seem to understand them at all, so he took out a lighter very affectionately and helped Fang Dongping light the cigarette.
The more Niu Xiaogang was like this, the more uncomfortable Fang Dongping felt in his heart. If it were someone else, it is estimated that Fang Dongping would have blasted people out long ago. Niu Xiaogang is also his apprentice no matter how he says it, and there is also the factor of Niu Dazhuang, so Fang Dongping can only sulk a little and does not act too much.
He didn't bother to bother with Niu Xiaogang, and after taking a puff of cigarette, he went straight to the point: "Say, what's the matter with me?"
Niu Xiaogang smiled and said: "Master, recently our factory is cooperating with Baotou First Machine, preparing to develop a new generation of diesel engineββ"
Without waiting for Niu Xiaogang to finish speaking, Fang Dongping couldn't help but interject: "Didn't the director of Baotou No. 1 Machine cancel the intention of cooperation with you?"
Niu Xiaogang's expression was a little stunned: "Master, how do you know that they want to cancel their intention to cooperate with our factory?"
Fang Dongping knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly covered it up: "I guessed, our factory has no technology, and no funds, so what can we do to cooperate with others?"
Niu Xiaogang looked at Fang Dongping with puzzled eyes for a moment, and then showed a smile: "They really wanted to cancel the cooperation, and then Director Chen worked hard to keep this opportunity, Master, with you, how can our factory lack technology? As for the research and development funds, this is also very easy to do, Director Chen has made arrangements, and the funds will be in place soon." β
Fang Dongping stared at Niu Xiaogang with a smile: "Xiaogang, you have learned technology from me for a few years, you should know Master's character very well, right? Master doesn't have the heart to study any diesel engines, otherwise I wouldn't have worked as a maintenance worker in the factory at the beginning, wouldn't it be better to be a product R&D engineer directly?"
