Chapter 355 Heirloom
Grandpa Dong touched He Shu's head, his hands shaking violently, and he kept praising him: "Great, my eldest grandson is so good..."
With Grandpa Dong's alcohol tolerance, this small wine cup can't make him drunk at all.
However, after the meal, Mr. Dong's face was still red, as if he had drunk a lot of alcohol.
He took out an old pocket watch from his pocket. This watch was older than Grandpa Dong and was passed down to him by Grandpa Dong's father.
"I thought this thing of mine would be buried with me in the soil. Little tree, keep it well. When you have a child in the future, pass it on to him."
He Shu looked at the old pocket watch and didn't dare to take it, but his grandfather said, "Your grandfather gave it to you. It's a family heirloom. Why wouldn't you dare take it?"
Grandpa Dong was even happier when he heard the word "heirloom". To be passed down from generation to generation, it needs successors to pass it on.
So He Shu accepted it. In addition to the carvings, there were also dense scratches and marks on the brass cover.
Open the watch cover and you will see a white surface. This mechanical pocket watch, which can be considered an antique, is still telling time on time.
"There was a watch chain there, but my father broke it by accident when he went to the battlefield. I don't know where he got it from."
"This watch is not a valuable item, but it bears witness to our country's transition from turmoil to unification, and our journey from nothing to something."
"Now Grandpa is giving it to you. I hope you can let it stay with you and witness our increasingly prosperous and powerful motherland."
He Shu grabbed the pocket watch in his palm and held it tightly: "Grandpa, I will definitely keep it well."
"Okay, okay..." Grandpa Dong smiled happily and said that today was the happiest day of his life.
Grandpa asked He Shu to send Grandpa Dong back, and my aunt brought He Shu a coat and a hat.
He Shu supported Grandpa Dong, and they went to Grandpa Dong's home accompanied by his guards and uncle.
The structure of Grandpa Dong’s house is similar to that of my grandfather’s house, and the furniture is also similar, all of which are uniformly matched.
But for some reason, I always feel that Grandpa Dong’s house is particularly deserted.
"Okay, I won't keep you here anymore. There's nothing for you to play with at home. Go back. Come back and have dinner at Grandpa's house some other time when you have time."
"Okay, then you should go to bed early."
Grandpa Dong waved his hand, and He Shu followed Xiao Ding back.
Grandpa Dong watched He Shu's figure walk away before going upstairs. He came to the bedside table in the room, picked up a blurry old photo and rubbed it twice.
He kept muttering, "My dear, you see, Old Man Qi is quite generous. He gave us a grandson..."
When He Shu returned home, the restaurant had already been cleaned up and everyone was sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting to watch the news.
Xia Miao ran over to help He Shu take off his coat and hang it up. Grandpa asked him with a smile: "I didn't ask you what you meant. I asked you to kowtow to Grandpa Dong. You don't blame Grandpa, right?"
He Shu shook his head and walked to sit next to his grandfather: "Isn't it good to have a grandfather who loves me?"
"Haha, good boy."
Mr. Qi feels that Old Man Dong has become more and more addicted to alcohol in the past two years. He already has a bad heart, so if he continues like this, isn't he courting death?
My old friend is getting fewer and fewer every year. Before he leaves, I want to fulfill his wish.
If Mr. Dong didn't like He Shu, he wouldn't have proposed this.
He Shu was a well- behaved and likable . Every time he called him Grandpa Dong, the old man would be happy for a long time, and his words were full of envy.
Qi Xue stretched out her hand to He Shu on the sofa: "Show me your heirloom."
He Shu happily took out the pocket watch and handed it over: "Aunt, please look at it carefully, don't break it."
Qi Xue rolled her eyes at him: "It's such a treasure, how can you possibly damage it by looking at it?"
She held it to her ear and listened. The crisp "clicking" sound of the second hand moving could be clearly heard.
"Uncle Dong still has this old treasure? It's really well preserved."
After looking enough, Qi Xue returned the watch to He Shu. He Shu saw Xia Miao watching from the side and handed it back to her.
Xia Miao continued with a smile and watched for a while.
After watching the news, the whole family went back to their rooms. When Xia Miao was here, she slept with her aunt.
Qi Zhijun could obviously sleep in the guest room, but he always liked to sleep with He Shu.
When his uncle came over with a quilt, He Shu knew that he would have to practice for a while in the evening.
However, Qi Zhijun didn't plan to let He Shu practice anything tonight. He made the bed and urged He Shu to take a shower.
After He Shu finished washing, he went in to wash too, and then the two of them lay on the bed and talked.
"Let me buy you a car. What model do you like?"
"Buy a car?" He Shu was surprised for a moment, then shook his head: "No need, uncle, why would a student like me buy a car?"
"It saves me from having to come pick you up when I get home. It's not like there's no parking lot at school."
That’s true, but He Shu hasn’t considered what kind of car to buy.
"Uncle, I haven't thought about it yet. I'll go take a look when I'm free."
"That's fine, just don't buy anything too eye-catching, keep it low-key."
"Yeah." He Shu calculated his savings. He couldn't afford it if he wasn't low-key.
As for the 10 million given by Uncle Niu, how could he dare to touch it?
Although my aunt said that Uncle Niu didn't want to owe anyone a favor, this was too much.
Was this to make him lie down in his next life? According to He Shu's spending habits, 10 million yuan was not enough to be spent in this lifetime...
The three-day holiday passed quickly, and He Shu was very excited to go to school soon.
At home, my aunt is too caring. She treats the slightest cough as a serious threat and takes my temperature from time to time.
He Shu’s biggest stress every day is the fear that he will really get sick.
Early in the morning, my uncle drove He Shu and Xia Miao to school, and my aunt insisted on going with them.
I was given two bags, one super big and one smaller, and I didn't know what was in them.
We went to Dadu College first. My aunt took Xia Miao to the dormitory with a small bag. When she came back, she said to He Shu, "The little girl's dormitory is still the best. It smells delicious as soon as you enter."
After hearing what his wife said, Qi Zhijun felt that he should have gone up and taken a look.
During the few days that Xia Miao stayed at home, Qi Zhijun felt like he had a new daughter in the family.
This is completely different from having a younger sister, and he automatically lowered his voice when speaking.
When we arrived at He Shu's school, my aunt got off the car with another super big bag.
He Shu asked his uncle if he wanted to go up with him, and his uncle replied, "What's so interesting about the boys' dormitory?"
My aunt pulled He Shu over and said, "I'll go up with you."
He Shu wanted to help carry the bag because it looked too big.
My aunt didn't let him. She carried it with both hands and followed him up the stairs while admonishing him: "You have to go up and down the stairs slowly. You can't run, especially if you have to bend over and move a lot."
"Don't carry anything heavy. Your aunt will come to pick you up next week and we'll go for a follow-up checkup."
