Chapter 28 Believe that knowledge changes destiny
He Shu didn't say much about family matters, only that he still had relatives who could take care of him.
After hearing this, Zhao Qishui didn't force it anymore.
Regardless of whether what He Shu said was true or not, Zhao Qishui admired He Shu very much. This child was very independent and had a strong character. He believed that he was indeed capable of distinguishing the priorities.
After sitting for a while, Zhao Qishui prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he told He Shu that as long as it did not affect his studies, He Shu could go whenever he wanted.
The next day, He Shu went to work again. As usual, Zhao Qishui asked He Shu to learn how to repair cars from him when he was not busy.
A week before school started, it rained for two days in a row, so the boss gave He Shu a day off.
After all, he was still a student, so Zhao Qishui asked him to study hard at home and call him when he was too busy.
He Shu nodded. He knew that when they were not busy, Aunt Liu and the others would feel embarrassed to compete with He Shu for work, but they needed the money more than He Shu.
He Shu has been working in the car wash for a whole month. His boss paid him a base salary of 2,000 yuan. With the commission from car washing, He Shu earned more than 4,000 yuan, even as much as Aunt Liu and the others.
He Shu knew that it was the boss who was taking care of him, and that Aunt Liu and Uncle Zhang were giving in to him.
Unfortunately , all the money added up is still not enough to buy a good cemetery. He hopes that his mother can be buried in a sunny and beautiful place.
I was doing my homework at home when there was a knock on the door.
He Shu opened the door and found that someone from the court came to ask He Shu to sign. He Zhicheng's compensation had already been transferred to the bank card left by Qi Xue.
They had come several times, but He Shu was not at home. Today they finally got things done.
The notice that He Shu received stated a specific amount of money, as well as some funeral expenses, pensions, etc. that were entrusted to him by He Zhicheng's unit.
Because when he died, he had not yet been fired from his unit.
He Zhicheng's life was exchanged for more than 700,000 yuan, which seemed like an astronomical figure to He Shu.
But He Shu still felt that it was very sad... as if this was the price he had to pay for becoming a real orphan...
With this money, plus what Qi Xue originally left behind, He Shu's savings were close to one million.
After living in misery for several years, it is easy to have an unreal illusion when suddenly having so much money.
But He Shu did not lose his mind. He never thought of touching the money.
After the weather got better, He Shu still went to wash the car with a simple lunch that would not spoil easily.
A black Mercedes drove over. He Shu was about to go over to ask if they were washing the car when he saw Xia Miao getting out of the car.
"He Shu? Why are you here?" Xia Miao was very surprised. They hadn't seen each other for a whole summer vacation and she didn't expect to meet him here today.
"I..." He Shu didn't actually mind being met by acquaintances, but when he saw Xia Miao, he somehow felt embarrassed to say that he was washing his car here.
"Are you working here as a summer intern? He Shu, you're awesome." Xia Miao looked at He Shu, who was wearing a vest and his junior high school uniform pants, rain boots and gloves, and looked a little darker than before.
It’s completely different from what it was like in school, but it doesn’t affect how good-looking he is!
Xia Miao even felt that He Shu seemed more energetic than before.
"But you've gotten a lot darker. Is it tiring working here?"
He Shu shook his head: "Not tired."
At this time, Xia Miao's father got out of the car and came over, asking curiously: "Miao Miao, do you know him?"
" Dad, this is my classmate He Shu. He is working here during the summer vacation."
"Hello, uncle." He Shu hurriedly greeted him. Usually, it was her mother who picked up Xia Miao, so this was the first time he met Xia Miao's father.
"Okay, you're a great guy. You can earn money on your own. Haha. I'll trouble you to drive my uncle's car today."
Xia Miao's father gave the car keys to He Shu and asked if he could come and pick them up in an hour. He Shu quickly said yes.
"Let's go Miaomiao, let's go buy something first and come back later."
Xia Miao said goodbye to He Shu reluctantly, and then walked towards the shopping mall in front with her father.
"How is your classmate doing academically?" Xia Miao's father asked when he saw his daughter kept looking back.
"He's a very good student. He ranked among the top three in his grade in the entrance exam."
"Oh? That's a really good kid. Look, he knows how to make money now. His studies are OK. Xia Miao, you should learn from him."
Hearing that her father also praised He Shu, Xia Miao was so happy that she nodded with a smile on her face: "I know, Dad."
He Shu watched Xia Miao and her father walk away, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing what he was so nervous about.
After collecting his thoughts, He Shu got into Xia Miao's father's car, drove to the car wash, and then began to wash the car with full concentration.
An hour later, Xia Miao and her father came back, carrying a lot of things.
Xia Miao took out a bottle of drink from a bag of snacks and gave it to He Shu.
He Shu refused, but Xia Miao forced it into his hand: "Take it, I picked it specially for chilled."
Xia Miao's father looked at the car and was very satisfied. He also smiled and said, "Take it. You and Xia Miao are classmates. Don't be polite."
Seeing this, He Shu had no choice but to say thank you.
After Xia Miao's father paid the car wash fee, he quickly took Xia Miao away. He Shu couldn't help but look around for a while.
"He Shu, who is that little girl? She's so pretty." Xiao Dong came over at some point and put his arm on He Shu's shoulder.
"My classmate."
"Classmate? I thought she was your girlfriend?"
He Shu froze for a moment: "Brother Dong, don't talk nonsense."
Xiao Dong saw He Shu's face turn red immediately, and he couldn't stop laughing...
Some adults always like to make fun of children, even though He Shu feels that he is no longer a child.
But I was still teased by these uncles and aunts for the whole afternoon and my face was burning.
Xiao Dong spread the word everywhere that He Shu liked the girl who just came to wash the car, but He Shu kept saying that they were just classmates and friends.
But no one believed it. The boss Zhao Qishui even told He Shu seriously that he should not fall in love too early because it would affect his studies.
He Shu was speechless for a while...
In fact, we started dating when we were in junior high school, especially during Christmas and the like. Those days were the hottest times for greeting cards and scented stationery in the small shops near the school.
Xia Miao also gave He Shu a simple Christmas card with blessings written on it, but He Shu confiscated it.
Until now He Shu still feels that he shouldn't think about those messy things, and falling in love is not what he should do now.
For some reason, He Shu always felt like he was holding back some energy.
Perhaps it was when my mother was seriously ill that I could never forget the helplessness and despair of not being able to raise enough money early on.
So he just wanted to work hard to move forward. He Shu didn't know how high he could move to, but he just didn't want to experience such a nightmare-like thing in his future life.
He Shu also clearly understood that the only way for him to realize his idea was to study.
Knowledge changes destiny, this is He Shu’s unswerving belief at the moment!
Thinking of this, the little ripples in my heart that occurred when my uncle and aunt joked about me quickly calmed down.
He Shu stopped arguing with them with a red face and concentrated on finishing the work in his hands.
