Chapter 232 More Hope
I used to come to Dadu to study and I would be away for several months at a time, but it was never like this.
Seeing each other, it felt like we had been apart for a long time.
"I was thinking that when you are about to be released from prison, I will go find your uncle and ask him to take me to Nanzhan to pick you up."
Zhao Qishui felt something was wrong, and hurriedly said with a smile: "It's good now, you came out early. Well, it's still your uncle who has a way to help you."
He Shu nodded, but didn't tell his godfather that he had actually returned a long time ago, but just couldn't contact them.
The two left the airport and got in the car. Zhao Qishui saw that He Shu's grandfather's family had specially sent a car, so he thanked Xiao Ding again.
He Shu felt that his godfather was usually very uncomfortable, unlike when he was at the Dan River Car Wash.
When they got home, they thought their aunt had gone to bed, but she was still waiting for them.
The cut hand-rolled noodles were put into the pot with boiling water at the right time, and were cooked by the time He Shu and Zhao Qishui got home.
"Brother Zhao, come and sit down. I thought you two must be hungry when you come back at this time, so I made something for you. Come and eat."
When He Shugang had the accident, Zhu Yu and Zhao Qishui were taking care of him in the hospital, and they became familiar with each other at that time.
Therefore, when Zhao Qishui came, Zhu Yu was very enthusiastic.
Zhao Qishui was quite embarrassed and even said that he had already eaten on the plane, but Zhu Yu dragged him to the table.
Then he pressed He Shu there as well and served each of them a large bowl of noodles.
"I won't bother you two anymore. I'm really sleepy. There's more in the pot. Just leave it here when you're done."
Zhu Yu knew that Zhao Qishui came here in the middle of the night just to see He Shu.
She was afraid that Zhao Qishui would feel uncomfortable if she stayed here, so she smiled and tried to persuade him before going back upstairs.
He Shu was indeed hungry, and the hand-rolled noodles made by his aunt smelled delicious.
He handed Zhao Qishui chopsticks: "Godfather, eat something."
Zhao Qishui smiled and nodded, took two mouthfuls of noodles, then looked at He Shu's bowl, which was half gone.
He Shu's changes made Zhao Qishui feel that he was better than before, but at the same time, he felt a little distressed.
He thought that the child was always hungry in prison, so he didn't eat as politely as before.
In fact, this was during the month I stayed in the army with my uncle, and my appetite was boosted by him.
In a place like that, eating with a large group of soldiers who have consumed a lot of physical energy every day, watching them wolf down their food really makes the food taste more delicious.
After eating the noodles, the two returned to He Shu's room.
After closing the door so as not to disturb He Shu's grandfather and aunt, they started talking.
"Godfather, Brother Xiaodong, Aunt Liu, are they all right?"
"Okay, I've been thinking about you." Zhao Qishui smiled and said, "Are you okay now? Can you go back to school?"
"Well, I'm going back to school in the next few days. After another month or two, it will be a holiday again. Then I will go back to Danhe to spend the New Year with you."
Zhao Qishui sighed: "It's almost the New Year again."
He pulled He Shu to sit down, and patted He Shu's head as if he couldn't get enough of it: "Godfather shouldn't have meddled in other people's business, and caused you to get into trouble."
"Godfather, don't say such things. I was too immature in the past. This is not your fault."
"Okay, godfather, I won't say any more. By the way, have you seen Xiao Xia since you came back?"
He Shu shook his head: "Not yet."
"Hurry up and call Xiao Xia tomorrow. That little girl is really nice. When you were not home, she would go to the cemetery to see your mother every time she went back on vacation."
He Shu was a little surprised by his godfather's words. Xia Miao... went to the cemetery?
"He Shu, Xiao Xia is a good girl, you must be nice to her."
At this point, Zhao Qishui patted his head and said, "Oh, I came too hastily and forgot to bring the things she bought for you."
Zhao Qishui told He Shu a lot about Xia Miao. It turned out that the girl not only waited for him, but also helped him do a lot of things.
He Shu was very touched and felt indescribable in his heart.
In his relationship with Xia Miao, Xia Miao has always been the one who takes the initiative.
Even during the day, he could have easily replied to Xia Miao's message, but he didn't know what he was afraid of or what he was struggling with.
Xia Miao has always been braver than him and has always been giving. Even though he has been in jail, Xia Miao has never despised him at all.
He Shu sometimes wondered, how could he have met a girl who was so kind to him?
"Godfather, I understand. I will call Xia Miao tomorrow."
"That's right. Boys should be more proactive. In a relationship between two people, one side can't always be the only one shining. After a long time, everyone will get tired. You also have to give the other person a sense of security."
Zhao Qishui only heard the word "sense of security" recently.
When he thought about his own marriage, he really didn't blame his wife for running away, it was because he ignored everything else and was only interested in finding his son.
He never thought that his wife was also the mother of his child and was also in the same pain and despair, but women are always more fragile than men.
I didn't take her feelings into consideration, which made her unable to hold on.
That night, the father and son chatted for a long time, mainly Zhao Qishui talking. There was nothing big, but He Shu listened with great interest.
He Shu couldn't talk too much about Nanzhan's affairs with Zhao Qishui, so he just told Chen He's story in another way.
"Godfather, if there is a person who cannot bear to see others suffer and go to remote mountainous areas to show his love and sacrifice a lot, but in the end those people not only do not appreciate it, but also do a lot of things to hurt him."
"Father, what do you think will happen to this person in the end?"
Zhao Qishui thought about it carefully and said, "I think that person might not show his love again, right?"
"Will he take revenge?"
Zhao Qishui shook his head: "That shouldn't be the case, right? Generally, people who can donate their love are selfless, and they will just leave when they are disappointed."
After listening to his godfather's words, He Shu did not continue to ask this question.
Perhaps it is stupid to ask others this question. People who have not experienced it personally will always look at the problem objectively.
He Shu felt that he understood Chen He very well, he just wanted to hear different people's opinions and wanted to know if there were very few people like Chen He?
The father and son lay on the bed, resting their heads on their arms in the same position, and talked in low voices.
During this period, Zhao Qishui did not live a dull life.
He went to other places to look for Zhao Yan twice. Later, a volunteer organization in Danhe City contacted him and took him to the police station for a DNA collection.
"They said that once this is uploaded, it can be found on the police station's website. If Zhao Yan wants to find my home and collects the information, he will be able to find me right away."
Zhao Qishui was very happy when he told He Shu about this: "Technology is really advanced now. If everyone's information is collected one day, how can the incident of losing a child happen again?"
DNA information collection?
This is indeed a method, but He Shu knows that it has not yet been popularized throughout society, and DNA testing technology is still mainly used in investigation and court evidence collection.
Currently, only criminals who have committed crimes will have their information collected and recorded in the public security bureau’s information database.
But this is a good start, isn't it? At least my godfather has a little more hope...
