Chapter 365 Relics
In the mourning hall, Grandpa Dong was lying quietly among flowers and green leaves, covered with the national flag.
Many people came today, including many people who we can only see on TV on weekdays.
Everyone looked sad as they slowly walked around Grandpa Dong to say their final goodbyes.
As Grandpa Dong's grandson, He Shu stood in a corner, accepted condolences, and shook hands with many important people.
Among the crowd who came to pay their respects, He Shu unexpectedly saw Wu Jie.
He was wearing a black suit and accompanying a middle-aged man. When Wu Jie saw He Shu, he nodded slightly at him but did not step forward.
After walking around with the crowd and paying respects, she went out with the middle-aged man.
He Shu withdrew his gaze and looked at Grandpa Dong in the flowers, feeling very complicated.
Originally, He Shu thought that he was just Grandpa Dong’s newly adopted grandson and was not qualified to be a family member.
But unexpectedly, Grandpa Dong left a will the day after he recognized me...
After the funeral, He Shu returned home in his grandfather's car.
As soon as he sat down, Grandpa Dong's bodyguard came over and handed He Shu a flat wooden box.
This is what , and he found it when he was sorting out his personal belongings.
He Shu held the box and opened it carefully. Inside were neatly arranged rows of military medals.
These are Grandpa Dong’s treasures. My grandfather also has such treasures, which record their past honors and contributions.
He Shu put the pocket watch that Grandpa Dong had given him together with these military medals.
These things will become his heirlooms in the future. When he has children, he will pass them down from generation to generation...
After the funeral, the school began its winter break.
Zhao Qishui called to ask He Shu when he would return to Danhe?
The house that the developer gave to He Shu had already been completed and decorated.
However, He Shu has not yet visited his new house.
The Chinese New Year is only half a month away. He Shu told his godfather Zhao Qishui that he would go back before the Chinese New Year as he still had some unfinished business here.
In fact, he wanted to go to Nanzhan before the New Year to settle the matter of the saber.
Ma Dao’s ashes are already with his aunt Qi Xue. When he leaves, he can just go and get them.
I was discussing with my uncle which day to book the flight when Ma Anqi called.
"Are you all recovered? Isn't it time to fulfill what you promised me?"
He Shu hesitated slightly: "I plan to go to Nanzhan in the next two days, how about waiting for me to come back?"
"I know you're going to Nanzhan, so I called you. It won't take long, just one night. Even if you leave tomorrow, it won't delay you."
After hearing what Ma Anqi said, He Shu thought about it and agreed.
After telling his family, He Shu drove to an address given by Ma Anqi.
This place is located near the suburbs of Dadu and is very quiet. Ma Anqi has a two-story villa of her own here.
Surrounded by high walls, the electric gate opened automatically as soon as He Shu's car arrived at the gate.
Driving the car into the spacious courtyard, He Shu found that the courtyard was beautifully designed. Not only was there a rockery pavilion, but there was also a glass sunroom with many flowers and plants planted inside.
In such a winter, seeing the lush greenery in the sunroom, the heavy mood caused by the sudden passing of Grandpa Dong is relieved a lot.
Ma Anqi was wearing a thick fluffy pajamas with her hair casually tied behind her head.
She didn't dress up just because she had guests coming. This was the first time He Shu saw her without makeup.
However, Ma Anqi has a good foundation. Even though she is in her thirties, her skin is still maintained like that of a girl.
"How is it? Is my place easy to find?"
"It's easy to find. Your house occupies the largest area among all the houses here." He Shu answered seriously.
Ma Anqi smiled and said, "Sit wherever you want. I can only come back and stay for a while when I am on vacation."
The living room is also very large, but there is not much furniture, so it looks a bit empty.
The white floor in the room was spotless, and in the middle were two equally white sofas.
The walls were also white, and the whole house looked so clean that even someone like He Shu, who had a mild mysophobia, felt a little uncomfortable.
He Shu sat down on the sofa, and Ma Anqi handed him a glass of boiled water: "In order not to affect the hypnosis later, I won't give you any other drinks."
He Shu nodded, picked up the water cup and took a sip.
"Sister Anqi , why are you in such a hurry?"
"Because I am going abroad to attend an academic exchange meeting. If your help can give me more experience, maybe I can bring honor to our country in the field of psychotherapy abroad this time."
He Shu smiled when he heard this: "So that's how it is. However, Sister Anqi, what you are doing is a bit like cramming at the last minute."
Ma Anqi shook her head indifferently: "It's better to sharpen your sword before the battle, and I also want to experiment a few more times, but there is no suitable candidate."
"Am I so suitable?"
"Maybe? What do you think? It's not too late to regret now."
"No, since I've agreed, I won't regret it." He Shu took off his coat and took out his cell phone: "Sister Anqi, how long will it take? I'll tell my family in advance so they don't worry."
"You can go back almost tomorrow."
That means we have to spend the night here. He Shu didn't say anything else. He called his aunt and told her.
Then he called Xia Miao again and told her that he would not be free until tomorrow.
Xia Miao went back to Danhe first, but the two of them would text each other from time to time every day. He Shu didn't want her to worry if she couldn't find him.
After everything was arranged, He Shu muted his phone and looked at Ma Anqi: "Sister Anqi, I'm ready."
Ma Anqi smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, sit down for a while."
The "a while" she mentioned was actually a few hours later.
During this period, Ma Anqi also made him a vegetable salad and then took him to visit her greenhouse to see the off-season vegetables she grew.
In the afternoon, Ma Anqi asked He Shu if he could cook. He Shu nodded.
So he used the things available in Ma Anqi's house in the kitchen to make two dishes and a soup.
"Since I came to Dadu, I have hardly cooked for myself."
He Shu took a bite of the dish he cooked. It tasted just average, but not bad at all.
"That's much better than me. I can't do it and I don't like to do it."
Ma Anqi tasted every dish and drank half a bowl of soup: "It tastes good. Did you start learning to cook when you were very young?"
"Hmm..." He Shu paused with his chopsticks. He hadn't thought about the past for a long time.
It’s as if those memories from the past belonged to another person.
"After the hypnosis begins, do you have any secrets that you don't want to be asked? Now, you can think of some words for me, and I won't ask any questions related to these words."
He Shu thought for a while and shook his head: "There is no secret."
Ma Anqi seemed relieved: "That's good."
