When Cao Zhiqiang walked out of the bathroom in his bathrobe, and when he came to the door and opened the door, he immediately saw Qiao Yicheng outside the door.

Qiao Yicheng was a little panting at this time, sweating on his forehead, and an extra cloth bag with a slanted straddle on his body, which was obviously different from when he first came here.

Because Cao Zhiqiang remembered that when he brought Qiao Yicheng here to have dinner, he had no schoolbag on his body.

But at this moment he had a schoolbag on his body!

In addition, he looked panting and sweaty on his forehead...

Damn, it wasn't that I ran home by myself and came back with my schoolbag, right?

But why did he do this?

He has opened a room for him, so he can have a good sleep here?

Could it be...

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang narrowed his eyes and then smiled: "Ah, it's 10% of the time, why are you asking me for trouble?"

Qiao Yicheng took a few deep breaths, looked around and then deliberately said calmly: "I, can I go in and talk?"

"No problem." Cao Zhiqiang quickly moved away and said, "Please come in."

After Qiao Yicheng entered, Cao Zhiqiang closed the door and looked back at Qiao Yicheng who was still standing in the corridor.

After a smile, Cao Zhiqiang took the initiative to reach out and pointed to the sofa next to the coffee table in the living room: "Don't be restrained, come, sit down, chat."

After Qiao Yicheng sat down carefully, Cao Zhiqiang went to the refrigerator to take out two bottles of iced Coca-Cola.

Yes, this suite has a refrigerator in the living room, and there is also an authentic Coca-Cola in the refrigerator.

It’s easy to say about refrigerators, but Coca-Cola is rare at this time. It’s not that ordinary people can’t afford to drink them, but they can’t drink them at all.

Although Coca-Cola Company signed a cooperation agreement with China as early as 1978, before the successful construction of the factory in China was officially successfully completed in 1981, domestic Coca-Cola during this period was basically purely imported.

It was not until April 1981 that Coca-Cola, the first filling factory in China, officially put into operation, that domestic Coca-Cola was produced.

However, during this period, the number of domestic Coca-Cola was very small, and it was generally only available for foreign-related tourist hotels, while the general department stores did not have them at all.

In fact, in 1982, domestic Coca-Cola was briefly launched and officially sold to the public through the Peking Sugar Industry Tobacco and Liquor Company, which means it can be sold to Chinese people for drinking.

Once launched, sales immediately became popular.

But later, for some reason, because a leader ordered that a bottle of Coca-Cola should not be sold to Chinese people, but only for foreigners to drink. Therefore, Coca-Cola is not allowed to be sold to Chinese people again, and can only be sold in foreign-related hotels and other places.

In 1983, although it was slightly relaxed, because normal stores did not sell, they could only buy foreign-related places such as Jinling Hotel, so Coca-Cola is still a very mysterious thing.

Many people may have heard of Coca-Cola, but few people can actually drink it.

However, there are very few Chinese people who have heard of Coca-Cola at this time, and they are basically part of the people in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Most Chinese people probably have never heard of the name Coca-Cola.

Coca-Cola has truly begun to be well-known to the general public in China, and that was after 1986.

At that time, Coca-Cola launched advertisements on 18 TV stations across the country at the same time. Because of the advertising effect, everyone knew about this foreign brand.

Of course, strictly speaking, even if Coca-Cola is open to Chinese people at this time, most people are reluctant to buy it.

Because a bottle of Coca-Cola is very expensive at this time, it costs 40 cents, or about one-seventy percent of the salary of ordinary people, it is impossible for ordinary families to drink it as a drink every day.

In short, it is normal for Jinling Hotel to supply Coca-Cola as a foreign-related hotel.

"Come on!" Cao Zhiqiang handed a glass bottle of Coca-Cola to Qiao Yicheng, "Drink some Coke."

"Huh?" Qiao Yicheng said in surprise, "This is... the Coca-Cola of the United States?"

"Do you still know it is the Coca-Cola from the United States?" Cao Zhiqiang said in surprise.

Qiao Yicheng nodded: "I've heard of it."

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Yes, I forgot that you are from Nanjing and have a lot of knowledge."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Try it. It's not a rare thing. It's just an ordinary carbonated beverage with gas. It's just a rare thing in China. However, because it has gas and trace caffeine, it has a good refreshing effect."

Qiao Yicheng took a sip carefully, then exhaled, exclaiming: "It's really delicious, it's worthy of being a foreign product."

Cao Zhiqiang was about to remind him that this was actually domestic.

But after thinking about it, I thought it would be better to forget it. It was unnecessary to explain this, and it was suspected of being pretending.

Although Cao Zhiqiang is not particularly resistant to pretending, he also scores the score.

He felt it was boring to show off in front of Qiao Yicheng.

After raising his head and drinking half a bottle of Coca-Cola, Cao Zhiqiang put down the glass bottle, then walked to opposite Qiao Yicheng to sit down, raised his legs and smiled, "Yicheng, I'm looking for me so late, what's going on, let's go straight to the point."

Perhaps because he had just taken two sips of Coca-Cola, Qiao Yicheng was no longer as panting as before.

However, when he heard Cao Zhiqiang's question, he was still a little nervous.

"I, I actually, um..."

Speaking of this, Qiao Yicheng swallowed, suddenly opened his schoolbag, and took out a thick stack of awards.

Afterwards, he put the certificate on the coffee table and then pushed it to Cao Zhiqiang.

Seeing this situation, Cao Zhiqiang raised his eyebrows and thought it was true.

Famous scenes!

Although he already knew what he was about to do, Cao Zhiqiang still pretended to be puzzled and picked up the certificate: "What is this, your certificate?"

Qiao Yicheng took a deep breath again, then raised his head suddenly and looked at Cao Zhiqiang with a puzzled look: "Brother Cao, I know that you are the one who actually adopts Simei, and Uncle Chen is just your subordinate, but he is just nominally adopting Simei, right?"

"Hmm?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned, "Who told you? Four beauties?"

"Anyway, this is true, right?" Qiao Yicheng asked, "You are the one who truly adopts Simei, and your status is higher than Uncle Chen. You are the real president, right?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, put down the certificate, and nodded: "Yes, that's right, so what?"

Qiao Yicheng took two deep breaths again and then said: "Brother Cao, I, my grades are better than Simei and Sanli. I am also a member of the league in the class and have always been an excellent student. I, I can do anything!"

Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a serious look: "Well, so what?"

Qiao Yicheng bit his lip and said with a red face: "So, so I think, no, please adopt me together."

"Adopting with you?" Cao Zhiqiang pretended to be surprised.

"Yes!" Qiao Yicheng nodded quickly.

“I don’t want much, I don’t eat much, I’m very good at studying and can do anything.

And I, I am very useful, will grow up soon, and then I will definitely help you.

So, please adopt me, okay?"

After hearing Qiao Yicheng's words, Cao Zhiqiang, who had expected, put away his legs crossed, straightened his waist, and nodded with a serious look on his face: "So that's the case, I understand."

After saying this, Cao Zhiqiang touched his chin with a serious expression, and then asked: "Yizheng, if you adopt you, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"The consequences? What consequences?" Qiao Yicheng asked.

Cao Zhiqiang sighed and said, "Old Chen and I, that is, Uncle Chen, who is the adoptive father of Simei, we are both from the capital. After we adopted Simei, we wanted to take him to the capital.

Although now, there are planes, trains and cars, and the transportation is getting better and better, it is not too difficult to get from Beijing to Nanjing.

But generally speaking, after we return to Beijing, we will no longer come to Nanjing often. In fact, during festivals, we can ask Lili and Simei to come back to see you once.

Of course, these are all minor issues.

The real problem is that we can adopt Lili and Simei, but you can't."

"Why?" Qiao Yicheng asked subconsciously.

"Because Lili and Simei are different from you." Cao Zhiqiang said.

"Different, what's the difference?" Qiao Yicheng asked.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "It's very simple, because Lili and Simei are both girls, and you are boys."

Qiao Yicheng was stunned: "What's the problem with this? Do you only like girls?"

"That's not the case." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head with a kind face.

Well, in fact, Cao Zhiqiang was nodding in his heart.

Nonsense, if it weren't for Lili and Simei being both girls and looking good, he wouldn't have had that much effort.

"No, what is that?" Qiao Yicheng was anxious.

"Don't be impatient for a moment." Cao Zhiqiang continued to smile casually.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang sighed first and then said:

"Yes, although our country has always advocated equality between men and women, I also recognize equality between men and women. I don't think there is any difference between men and women, nor do I think that only men can pass on the family line. But if I think so, it doesn't mean that others think so too.

In the current social atmosphere, men still have to pass on their family line, while women are not so important because they will marry out sooner or later.

So under normal circumstances, girls can be given to others for raising them early, but unless they are absolutely absolutely necessary, they really cannot survive. Otherwise, no one with a backbone will agree to give their boys to others, let others raise them, and take the surname of others.

Then, we talked to Comrade Qiao, oh, that is, your father.

From the lines he spoke, I heard that he had a deep affection for you, loved you very much, and was quite reluctant to leave you.

Think about it, that's right, there are no parents in this world who don't love their children."

Hearing this, Qiao Yicheng smiled coldly and was about to open his mouth, but after looking at Cao Zhiqiang, he still closed his mouth again.
