Chapter 161 Acknowledge your daughter
Upon entering the room and seeing this situation, Fang Guangjin thought to himself: It seems that the old man values this Doctor Feng very much.
When Fang Guang entered, Old Mrs. Fang quickly invited everyone to come and eat.
At the dinner table, Grandma Fang praised Feng Qingqing endlessly, showering her with compliments as if they were free.
Compared to Grandpa Fang, they are equally matched.
No one knows better than her how badly her husband has been suffering from migraines in recent years.
Those were sleepless nights, filled with unbearable pain, and as her bedmate, she felt their pain deeply.
Having worked hard all her life, she is now suffering from such illness in her old age, which is very distressing for her.
Since being treated by a health worker at a rural clinic, I have gradually gotten much better, and my migraines have not flared up severely since.
Old Mrs. Fang was already deeply grateful to this girl!
This afternoon, when Grandpa Fang went out, he greeted her and invited the young lady to his home for dinner.
She naturally agreed without hesitation.
They also wanted to meet the girl who had done their family a great favor.
So after Mr. Fang left, the old lady got busy.
In just one afternoon, she managed to cook all the decent dishes she could think of at home.
When the group sat down at the table, they were all stunned and quite surprised to see a table full of delicious dishes.
Fang Guangjin looked at his mother in even greater surprise.
His expression seemed to say, "This is quite a feast."
His family has never cooked so many delicious dishes, not even during holidays.
However, he also secretly thought it was a pity that his wife and son would not be able to enjoy the meal today.
Feng Qingqing and He Yong'an felt quite uneasy looking at the table full of dishes, mostly meat.
On the table were braised pork, braised spare ribs, steamed crucian carp, scrambled eggs with chives, cold kelp salad with dried shrimp, spicy and sour fish, stir-fried beef with cilantro, stir-fried dried pork with onions, and braised chicken pieces. In the pot, there was also a radish and old duck soup.
The elderly couple noticed the couple's awkwardness, and the old lady quickly spoke up to explain and ease the tension:
"Don't be shy, we often eat these dishes at home, please have more."
Fang Guangjin listened to his mother's insincere words and thought to himself, "When did my family eat this often? How come I didn't know?"
But as children, we have no choice but to cooperate.
After the meal started, the old man first inquired about Feng Qingqing's job start day. Feng Qingqing, of course, only said the nice things, saying that the hospital was excellent in every way, the food was good, and the director treated her well.
The three members of the Fang family were very pleased to hear the little girl say that.
I felt that this girl was not only very capable, but also of excellent character.
With this kind of attitude, one can imagine how good one would be at the county hospital.
Grandpa Fang was very pleased to hear this and quickly added:
“Feng girl, don’t always say nice things. If you are wronged at the hospital, you must tell your third brother and me when you get back. We will definitely stand up for you and never let you suffer the slightest grievance.”
Fang Guangjin choked and coughed violently when he heard his father mention that his third brother was still eating meat.
Grandpa Fang was annoyed that his son had interrupted him, and snorted coldly:
"You're such a grown-up, you can't even eat in peace."
Seeing the old man scolding Fang Guangjin, Feng Qingqing quickly chimed in:
"Okay, Grandpa, don't worry, I'll tell you and Auntie as soon as I feel wronged."
"And I made a friend on my first day at the county hospital; we've already made plans to go to the movies this weekend."
Feng Qingqing could clearly sense whether it was Old Master Fang, whom she had met several times, or Old Madam Fang, whom she was meeting for the first time today.
The elderly couple's concern for her was genuine and without any pretense.
She felt a warmth in her heart and reciprocated with the same sincerity.
Who is Old Master Fang? He's a shrewd and calculating person.
He could tell that the girl was kind-hearted and had keen senses.
I was planning to discuss it with my spouse and son tonight before making a decision.
At this moment, however, he slapped his thigh and immediately got straight to the point:
"Young lady, I have a suggestion, you must agree."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at his wife. After decades of marriage, Mrs. Fang could roughly tell what it was about just by looking at his eyes.
She nodded slightly in agreement.
After having a meal with this girl, I felt a great deal of approval towards her.
Sincere, magnanimous, and open-minded.
Only Fang Guangjin was still obliviously burying his head in his food.
It's unclear what major decision his father is about to make.
Grandpa Fang put down his chopsticks and looked at Feng Qingqing:
"Young lady, I'm getting on in years, but I feel a deep connection with you. Would you be willing to be my goddaughter?"
Upon hearing the old man's words, the one who reacted most strongly was Fang Guangjin, who was eating chicken nuggets but got choked.
His face turned red, and he coughed for a long time before returning to normal.
Old Master Fang was deeply displeased with his youngest son's repeated interruptions. He glared at him a few times, ignoring his shocked expression, before turning his attention back to Feng Qingqing:
"What's your decision, Feng girl?"
At this moment, Feng Qingqing and the other woman realized what the old man had suggested.
Looking at the old man's expectant eyes, she hesitated slightly. After all, in this day and age, adopting a goddaughter means becoming a proper relative.
The Fang family is clearly powerful and influential, while she is just an orphan who lost both her parents.
Even after marrying He Yong'an, the gap between the two families remained significant.
Grandma Fang, who was standing nearby, probably understood Feng Qingqing's concerns and gently offered some words of comfort:
“What the old man says is what I say. I’ve never had a daughter in my life. After we’re officially recognized, you’ll be my own daughter.”
Fang Guangjin stood there dumbfounded, unsure how to react.
He never expected that in less than a day, he would suddenly have a younger sister after returning home.
Moreover, judging from the eager and expectant looks in the two elderly people's eyes, they ultimately did not say anything to object.
Thinking about it carefully, the elderly couple are getting on in years, and having a daughter who is proficient in medicine and acupuncture seems like a good thing.
After a few quick thoughts, Fang Guangjin nodded slightly and looked at Feng Qingqing:
"Qingqing, since Grandpa and Grandma like you so much, I think you should agree."
Otherwise, the old man would definitely not eat or drink well at home.
You wouldn't believe it, but this morning, before dawn, the old man got up and sat on the sofa in the living room.
He waited until I got up and asked the same question I'd asked countless times over the past few days, "Is Qingqing reporting for duty today?"
Old Master Fang, blushing slightly at his words, chuckled and retorted:
"You brat, get out of here."
Then he looked at Feng Qingqing again.
Seeing the Fang family's reaction, Feng Qingqing turned to look at He Yong'an, who looked at her with encouragement.
He knew what she meant.
But he also told her that she could decide everything herself, and he would do whatever she wanted.
This also demonstrates a full understanding and respect for Feng Qingqing.
So, Feng Qingqing didn't hesitate any longer and called out in a clear and crisp voice:
"Godfather, Godmother."
