Siheyuan: How dare I mess with a man who is an expert in men's health?
Chapter 147 Chance Encounter
After hearing Cao Anping's ambiguous words, Old Man Li did not mention the antiques anymore, but just asked in a tactful way whether he could give a deposit.
Cao Anping naturally did not refuse. It was only natural to pay a deposit when making custom-made items.
But he couldn't take out the food now, so he could only pay a deposit of five yuan and get it back when he exchanged things.
Old man Li was very happy to think that his food could finally be improved, so he gave all the small ornaments he made when he was bored to Cao Anping.
Cao Anping did not refuse. These ceramic animals were indeed very interesting and could be kept for playing with or used as decorations.
He didn't stay any longer and said goodbye and left. Old Man Li politely saw him out.
What surprised Cao Anping was that he saw Director Wang actually walking out from the backyard.
Director Wang was followed by a child and an old man with a cane. She advised as she walked:
"Old Peng, please go back soon. You don't need to see me off since you can't move around easily. You don't need to thank me either. You can thank the people who helped you when the time comes."
The old man surnamed Peng's eyes were red, and he said stubbornly: "Thank you, I'm fine, and one leg doesn't affect my walking."
After seeing this, Cao Anping had some guesses in his mind. He didn't expect that among the five places he proposed, one was in Yard No. 88.
He was very satisfied with Director Wang's work. It seemed that he was helping special groups such as the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled. He only helped in emergencies but not in poverty. If it were just the poor, he would not be willing to help.
Cao Anping greeted Director Wang and complimented him, "Hello, Director Wang. You work so hard. You have to work on Sunday. Your spirit of hard work is worth learning from."
When Director Wang saw Cao Anping, he was stunned for a few seconds before he smiled bitterly and said:
"We work in the streets. There is no such thing as Sunday. The people only have a lot of free time today. They all come to us to solve their problems. Do you think we can have a day off?"
Although he didn't know whether Director Wang's words were sincere or not, Cao Anping felt that they made sense.
When he was a civil servant in his previous life, he had heard his classmates complain about their working hours.
Not to mention the short working hours, the key point is that if others want to get something done, they have to ask for leave to do it.
If you want to wait until you are off work or on holiday to process it, that is impossible because other people get off work earlier than you and have more holidays than you.
Cao Anping could only nod and agree, "Thanks to the colleagues in the subdistrict office for their hard work."
Director Wang waved his hand and replied, "Work is hard.
By the way, Doctor Cao, why are you here? Are you here to supervise my work?"
Cao Anping didn't expect Director Wang to be joking, so he denied it with a smile:
"How dare I supervise you, Director Wang? I'm here to ask Master Li to help me with some work."
Director Wang said seriously: "Now the people are in charge, so of course everyone can supervise."
Cao Anping was somewhat speechless. You had already said all the good and bad things, what else could I say? He thought:
"Director Wang, you really deserve to be a leader. Your slogan is really loud and clear."
He wanted to end the topic quickly and leave, but he heard Director Wang continue: "You just happened to meet him today, so why not get to know him.
This is Old Peng, and this is his grandson Tiedan. His family is in a difficult situation. When I thought of that quota you mentioned, his family was the first one I thought of. I’m here today to confirm the situation.
She introduced him to Lao Peng: "This is Doctor Cao. I am just running errands for him. He is the one who really needs to do good things."
After hearing this, Old Peng quickly bowed to Cao Anping, pulled his grandson over, and said gratefully:
Dr. Cao, thank you so much.
Tiedan, thank this benefactor quickly, and remember that you must not be ungrateful in the future."
Cao Anping quickly stepped forward and supported the old man. He knew that Director Wang had some ulterior motives in introducing the two parties directly, after all, Cao Anping had not made the final decision yet.
But he didn't feel any aversion. Since it was handed over to Director Wang, he still had some trust in him.
As long as the families we help are truly in need, and not just lazy and greedy families, that’s fine.
As for his character, it will take some time to tell. He said when he would start donating money, but he didn't say when it would end.
Cao Anping stopped Tiedan from bowing and asked in confusion, "Your name is Tiedan, right? You look familiar. Have I seen you somewhere before?"
Tiedan looked at his grandfather carefully, then hesitantly replied, "Before, Banggeng took my candy, and a few of us beat him up. It was you, uncle, who stopped us, and later you gave me a candy."
Cao Anping then remembered that this was the kid who had been beaten with a stick before. He just remembered that he was quite proud of him at that time. Why did he look like he had made a serious mistake now?
Old Man Peng heard that his grandson had fought outside and was seen by Cao Anping. He was afraid that it would leave a bad impression, so he angrily scolded:
"How many times have I told you not to cause trouble outside? How dare you fight? If you learn bad things, how can I explain to your parents? Kneel down and reflect on your mistakes."
Tiedan knelt on the ground obediently, but with his neck raised high, he said unconvincedly with tears in his eyes:
"Bang Geng took it right in front of me. He was robbing me. I hate robbers the most. My parents were killed by robbers. I did nothing wrong."
Cao Anping was stunned. Everything was going well for them, but suddenly the grandfather and grandson started arguing.
He quickly said, "Tiedan, get up quickly. The ground is so cold."
Then he advised Lao Peng: "It was just a fight between children, and the other party did steal something. I don't think Tiedan can be blamed."
Director Wang also tried to persuade him, and only then did Lao Peng let Tiedan get up.
In fact, when Old Peng heard Tiedan mention his parents, he felt distressed and regretted losing his temper. He explained to Cao Anping and Director Wang:
"I'm sorry to embarrass you, Tiedan is our only child, and I'm afraid he'll become a bad kid, and I won't be able to explain to my son when I die.
When he grows up and starts working, I will have completed my mission, and it will be worth it even if I die."
Cao Anping was somewhat curious about the family situation of this family. It seemed that Tiedan was indeed quite pitiful as both his parents had passed away.
However, he couldn't ask in front of everyone as that would be like poking someone in the heart. He could only ask Director Wang in private.
Director Wang also comforted him, "I think Tiedan is quite sensible. Don't worry too much. It's normal for children to fight and quarrel."
Cao Anping thought to himself: "Banggeng that kid deserves a beating. I think I didn't hit him too hard. I helped him out, but he still scolded me."
I wonder if that kid will behave himself after a few days of education at the police station?'
Old Peng could only smile and couldn't come up with any reason to refute. After all, they were all trying to help his family.
But he was determined to take good care of Tiedan. Ever since he lost his son and daughter-in-law, he has been very cautious. His only wish in life was to protect Tiedan and let him grow up healthily, for fear of any accidents.
PS: I have something to do today, so there is only one chapter. I will make it up tomorrow morning. Sorry.
