Chapter 604

So old man Cao took two steps forward, then stopped his footsteps.

However, this time it wasn't because he didn't want to walk, but because he was grabbed by his eldest son.

The eldest Cao sister-in-law originally wanted to let her son be a soldier; seeing no one paying attention to her, she felt unwilling, and said a few words to the eldest Cao in a low voice.

Then the eldest Cao felt what his wife said was right, so he went to find old man Cao.

Old man Cao was grabbed, turned his head, glared at his cowardly eldest son, and scolded him with hatred for not being able to achieve success: "What are you doing... you useless thing, let a woman bear you; if it weren't for her shouting and showing off, could we have these things?"

The eldest Cao's expression was awkward, but he still lowered his voice and said: "Dad, let's talk about this later; didn't you hear just now... if Zhaodi can really pass the examination, they will also arrange work for military dependents."

Old man Cao also heard it.

But even if work was arranged, it was definitely for Zhaodi's parents; what did it have to do with him?

He was just an uncle!

The eldest Cao had his own set of ways to deal with his parents: "Dad, let me tell you, we have to discuss this matter in the long run; think about it, my second brother has no son, and Zhaodi's work will be arranged by the country in the future."

"But what about the other two girls? Who knows what will happen in the future? And if my second brother doesn't have a son, who will take over this work?"

"Give it to the girls? That's equal to giving it to the son-in-law!"

"It's really giving it to outsiders for nothing."

"If it really comes to that, I'll say the ugly words first; my son won't manage him."

Old man Cao's eyes flashed; he listened to these words.

Now all these jobs were taken over by family members after retirement.

If the second brother had a job now, who would take over this job after he retired?

Give it to those two girls?

Those two girls might not be as capable as their eldest sister.

If the job was given to one of these two girls, wouldn't it be the same as giving it to an outsider?

The eldest Cao continued: "Or you persuade my second brother to not want this job and give it directly to your eldest grandson; we will take one step to the goal, and the fat water won't flow into outsiders' fields. Even if your eldest grandson retires in the future, it's still for our old Cao family, and it has nothing to do with outsiders, right?"

Old man Cao felt that what his eldest son said was very reasonable; he looked over there, instinctively feeling that if he said this, he would definitely be scolded by President Yu.

"Alright, I know this matter, but not now; wait until things calm down, and we'll discuss it."

Subsequently, he added a sentence: "Don't think too well; in case she doesn't pass, you will all be happy in vain."

The eldest Cao smiled; it would be good if that were the case.

Lu Qiaoge still heard the conversation between these two clearly.

She lowered her head and looked at Cao Zhaodi, who was leaning against her side and secretly peeking at her from time to time.

Lu Qiaoge said very naturally: "Cao Zhaodi is a name... that carries serious feudal thinking; let's change it; after all, the place we are going to is not an ordinary place."

President Yu suddenly remembered.

Wasn't it?

Even a fool could know why she was named this.

Old Mrs. Cao, who had been silent, disagreed: "Can't change it; this name was given by me, how can it be changed just because you say so?"

Lu Qiaoge asked directly: "Old lady, then tell me, what is the meaning of the name you gave?"

Old Mrs. Cao wanted to speak, but was pulled by old man Cao, who glared at her fiercely, signaling her not to talk nonsense; only then did old man Cao smile and say: "We... we grandparents don't have any culture, and we didn't think much at the time; I see Factory Director Lu is a cultured person, why don't you give her a name?"

Old man Cao wasn't very happy in his heart.

How could a name given by an elder be changed just because one said so? But now the arm couldn't twist the thigh, and there were so many cadres here, so he naturally didn't dare to be hard.

He wanted to see what kind of name this young woman, Factory Director Lu, could give Zhaodi?

Everyone's gaze looked at Lu Qiaoge.

Lu Qiaoge lowered her head and looked at the little girl who was looking at her with cautious yet eager eyes; she originally wanted the old principal to give the name, but then she thought, if she gave the name, it would be of great benefit to the child's future.

Lu Qiaoge opened her mouth with a smile: "Since the old man said so, I won't decline; um, let's call her Cao Zhaozhao; the 'Zhao' is the 'Zhao' with the sun radical, representing brightness and sunshine..."

The old principal was the first to agree without hesitation.

He also gave a thumbs up to the name Lu Qiaoge gave.

Cao Zhaodi was the child's given name.

From birth until now, she was ten years old, and she had always been called Zhaodi, Zhaodi, inside and outside the house.

If she changed to another name, it was estimated that she wouldn't be used to it herself.

But now the "Di" character was removed, and she was called Zhaozhao.

Good to hear, really good to hear.

Warm and bright.

Even old man Cao and old Mrs. Cao had no reason to refute this name.

The second Cao and Wu Dani were standing beside Cao Zhaozhao at this time.

Wu Dani looked at her eldest daughter with a complex expression, wanting to reach out and touch the child's face, but her own hands were rough, either scars or calluses, and she didn't remember how long it had been since she held her eldest daughter.

It seemed that since the youngest daughter was born, her mood toward these three children had never been good.

Sometimes she also hated.

Hated that her stomach wasn't competitive, hated that these three children wouldn't choose their own destiny.

How good it would be to be a man.

One had to know how bitter and tiring it was for a woman to live in this world.

But now the facts proved it was wrong.

She wasn't a good mother; she was so mean to her eldest daughter, but her daughter still spoke for her.

Even now, the look in her eyes didn't have a bit of hatred.

Was this mother and daughter?

Wu Dani felt her eyes were very dry.

She wanted to shed tears, but didn't have a single tear.

She looked at Lu Qiaoge; this was a girl, a girl whom even President Yu of the commune had to treat politely.

For some reason, Wu Dani's spine suddenly straightened slowly.

She gave birth to three daughters.

But her eldest daughter was going to be successful.

Maybe she would have to rely on her eldest daughter to support her in her old age.

She finally summoned the courage and said to Lu Qiaoge: "Lu... Factory Director Lu." She pulled her two daughters to her side and continued in a hoarse voice: "I also want to change the names of these two children."

But she didn't dare to change them and wouldn't change them.

So she looked at Lu Qiaoge with eager eyes.

Lu Qiaoge didn't decline either, asked, and simply said: "Your second daughter is called Cao Panpan, and your third daughter is called Cao Lailai."

Cao Zhaozhao wanted to applaud this beautiful Lu sister who changed her destiny; it was really too good to hear; the second younger sister was called Panpan, and the third younger sister was called Lailai.

Wu Dani's eyes also lit up, nodding vigorously: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Factory Director Lu... thank you, Factory Director Lu, for naming my three daughters."

At this moment, Wu Dani suddenly realized that having Factory Director Lu of the Xiang Yang Food Factory name her daughters should be a very glorious thing!
