Chapter 32 Pick You Up from School
After moving into Uncle Zhao's house, He Shu took charge of the housework.
After cleaning once a week, Uncle Zhao's house finally looks a bit like home.
The most important thing is that the two of them are no longer alone. Although He Shu only stays at home for two days a week, Zhao Qishui will eat at home on those two days.
The two went shopping for groceries together, and came back to work together. After they finished eating, He Shu lay on the coffee table to do his homework, while Zhao Qishui made tea beside him.
Just like an ordinary father and son, this feeling fills the void in each other's hearts.
Especially when He Shu came back one weekend and found a new row of bookshelves and desk in his room.
This special feeling can never be erased from his heart...
He Shu went to the car wash less often, and Zhao Qishui only called him to help when he was too busy.
He Shu was allowed to arrange the rest of his time by himself, so he would go to the cemetery to see his mother every Saturday, help out at the car dealership after reviewing on Sunday, and then go home with Zhao Qishui.
His personality became more and more cheerful, and he smiled more and more often, but He Shu himself didn't even notice this change.
But his classmates, especially Xia Miao, were most touched because He Shu smiled at her.
During the meal, Xia Miao asked He Shu a math problem. He Shu patiently explained it to her, but Xia Miao was still confused.
He Shu curled his lips and said, "Why are you so stupid? This is something we learned in the first year of high school."
Xia Miao was stunned. This guy could actually laugh!
This was the first time Xia Miao felt that He Shu was really in a good mood.
It’s a pity that mobile phones have to be handed in upon entering school, otherwise Xia Miao would have taken a picture of this moment immediately.
"He Shu, you look so beautiful when you smile."
He Shuli immediately retracted his expression and lowered his head to eat, but the tips of his ears turned slightly red.
Xia Miao smiled and passed the chicken drumstick from her plate to He Shu: "I bought too much and can't finish it."
He Shu paused, knowing that Xia Miao had deliberately bought more for him: "Next time, buy as much as you can eat. If I want to eat, I will buy it myself."
"Okay, I got it." Xia Miao agreed obediently.
In fact, not only Xia Miao, but also the classmates who share the same dormitory with He Shu feel that He Shu looks much more normal now.
The aura of keeping strangers away from him has been reduced a lot, and when he comes back from evening self-study to wash up, he will not wait until the very end to catch up with them.
Some people even tried to invite He Shu to play basketball with them, but He Shu really didn't know how to play basketball. This was a habit he developed after being ostracized in junior high school.
Except for exercises and physical education classes, he always stayed alone in a corner or continued reading in the classroom.
So He Shu could only refuse and frankly said that he didn't know how to do it.
After all, his roommates seldom talked to He Shu before, so they didn't force him.
However, with this beginning, everyone would bring up He Shu when they chat.
Since his mentality changed, He Shu felt that life was wonderful and time passed quickly.
The five days at school passed in no time, and now he was looking forward to the holiday just like other students.
After school, He Shu walked out of the school gate as usual, carrying the bedding to be washed.
There were still many parents waiting on the street outside the door, and all kinds of cars and motorcycles were blocking traffic.
Except for college students, no matter how old the students are, in the eyes of their parents, they are still children who need someone to pick them up.
He Shu knew that there was no one waiting for him outside, and he had long been used to it.
He was walking back when he suddenly heard someone calling him.
Turning around, he saw Uncle Zhao had changed out of his dirty work clothes and was standing across the street in a sports outfit, waving at him.
Then he ran through the crowd and vehicles and took the luggage bag from He Shu's hand.
"Oh my god, why are there so many people? I can't even drive through, let's go for a walk."
He Shu stared blankly at Uncle Zhao, who had dressed up and even had his hair done, and was a little confused: "Uncle Zhao, why are you here?"
"Haha, I'm here to pick you up from school."
Actually, a customer said in a casual chat today that today is Friday again, and there is always a traffic jam at the entrance of the middle school at this time.
Then he talked about how children nowadays are too spoiled, and they still have to pick them up from junior high school to high school. He also talked about how when they were young, first graders would carry their own schoolbags to and from school.
Zhao Qishui listened and thought about He Shu carrying a big bag and going home by himself every Friday. He suddenly felt a little sorry for him, so he decided to pick him up from school today.
When he shared this idea with Aunt Liu and the others, they all laughed at Zhao Qishui and said that if he went there in such a state, it would be better for him not to go, so as to avoid embarrassing He Shu.
"Kids nowadays are all about comparison. They feel ashamed if their parents don't have a nice car to pick them up." Old Zhang curled his lips.
Zhao Qishui knew that He Shu was not such a child, but he still took a careful bath, had his hair cut, shaved, and changed into a new set of clothes.
And he didn't drive his own classic car, which was actually very cool but looked very antique. Instead, he asked a regular customer who came to wash his car and borrowed the other person's nice car.
Regular customers all know Zhao Qishui’s situation. He has a son who has been missing for more than ten years and has not been found yet.
When he heard that he was going to pick up his child from school, he hurriedly asked him about it, and a trace of loneliness appeared in Zhao Qishui's eyes.
How great would it be if He Shu was really his Zhao Yan?
He Shu was still a little confused until he got into the car: "Uncle Zhao, did you go out to do something today?"
He was driving such a nice car and it was dressed up so well that He Shu almost didn't recognize him.
Zhao Qishui smiled and moved slowly forward with the traffic: "Is there nothing I can do? I can't come pick you up now? You have to wait for me at the door every Friday after school. "
"I don't usually feel this, but when you guys came out just now, that guy was so chaotic that I almost didn't look at you."
"Your Aunt Liu told me to clean up before coming back. What do you think? I hope I didn't embarrass you?"
He Shu shook his head, and something in his heart was touched. He didn't expect that someone would really pick him up from school, and to do so in such a formal way.
"Uncle Zhao, don't bother me in the future. I'm old enough that I don't need anyone to pick me up."
"Well, I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway."
As they were talking, they finally drove out of the school block. Zhao Qishui took He Shu to the market to buy vegetables, including fish and chicken, to improve He Shu's meals.
Just after He Shu and Zhao Qishui left, Lai Huaguang's mother was looking for her son at the school gate.
She didn't know that Lai Huaguang was dragged away by two gangsters as soon as he walked out of the school gate.
These two people were the ones who took Lai Huaguang's money and taught He Shu a lesson.
"What do you want to do? This is the school gate." Lai Huaguang didn't bother He Shu anymore because his grades had dropped significantly recently.
But how could those two gangsters let a rich student like him go? They came to him again and again.
"What are you doing? I'm a little short on money lately, so I came to ask you to borrow some money."
Lai Huaguang was very angry: "You have come to borrow money several times. How can I have so much money? My parents are suspicious."
"Hey, we don't care about that. If you don't give it to us, we will tell the school that you asked us to do something."
"Don't go too far. Last time I just asked you to deal with He Shu, but he didn't do anything wrong. Besides, I gave you several hundred dollars later."
The two hooligans looked at each other and said, "If you think we didn't do a good job, we'll help you deal with him again, but you have to pay more."
"I don't want to deal with him now." Lai Huaguang targeted He Shu only because he liked Xia Miao.
But he did a lot of things secretly, but Xia Miao never paid attention to him. Besides, He Shu's grades are so good now, he is an excellent student , and all teachers pay attention to him.
Lai Huaguang also knew what was important and had lost confidence in Xia Miao. He felt that even if Xia Miao no longer liked He Shu, she would not like him either.
"Don't come to me again, or I'll tell my parents. If you force me again, I'll call the police."
At this time, Lai Huaguang's mother came over here, and the two gangsters knew it was not a good idea to stay any longer.
"Well, you're brave enough, boy. Let's see."
After leaving a threatening word, the two thugs ran away, but Lai Huaguang was scared. He now really regretted getting to know these people.
