Chapter 387 Our Family
The next morning, He Shu smelled the Chinese medicine and opened his eyes.
He sat up, his head aching, and the damp mattress beneath him reminded him that he might have dreamed again last night.
I massaged the acupoints according to what Uncle Yu taught me for a while, and the symptoms of headache gradually eased.
He Shu cheered up, got out of bed, pushed open the half-open door, and heard a noise coming from the kitchen.
"Father, why are you up so early?"
"Awake? I guess you're awake by now, and the medicine is almost cold. Come on, drink it quickly."
He Shu pursed his lips, walked over, picked up the bowl, and drank the medicine in one breath.
I couldn't help but twitch my face. I don't know if Uncle Yu added Coptis chinensis to his medicine, but it was so bitter that it was unbearable.
He Shu forced himself to swallow it, but felt the sensation coming up. Zhao Qishui quickly handed him a bowl of boiled water, and He Shu took a few sips to suppress it.
"There are also rock candies. Put one in your mouth."
He Shu shook his head and went to the bathroom to wash his face.
Zhao Qishui sighed. His uncle was right. The patient was seriously ill.
He went to He Shu's room several times last night. The child had been having nightmares. He called him twice but he didn't wake up. He didn't dare to shout too loudly and scare him.
What should he do? Zhao Qishui thought about finding a great celestial being to help He Shu.
Some things exist if you believe in them, and don’t exist if you don’t believe in them.
People in big cities don’t believe it because they have never seen it, but Zhao Qishui was born in the countryside and saw it quite often when he was a child.
He said that his old neighbor in the backyard was collecting grass in the haystack early in the morning. He felt something inside, so he took a stick and hit it. Out jumped out a weasel.
That night the old neighbor went crazy and danced on the ground.
The family found someone who knew something about the matter and they found the weasel behind the haystack. It was standing on its two legs and dancing like a human.
The actions were exactly the same as those of the crazy old neighbor. After being scared away, the neighbor became fine.
How can you explain these things with science? Therefore, Zhao Qishui also believed in it to some extent.
Although he asked people to look at his son and have him calculated after he got lost, to no avail, he still had a certain degree of trust in what he had seen with his own eyes as a child.
It’s a pity that it’s hard to find people with real skills nowadays, as the older generation are almost all dead.
Most of those who are famous now are scammers, and Zhao Qishui is also aware of this.
It looks like he needs to call his hometown and ask them to help keep an eye out for anyone who is really good at this and has some magical powers to show to He Shu.
After breakfast, the father and son went to the barber shop downstairs early to get a haircut.
It's just opened, there aren't many customers yet, no need to queue.
Zhao Qishui's hair was originally very short, so he just trimmed it casually. He Shu hadn't had a haircut recently, so his hair had grown to almost cover his ears.
I haven’t been sleeping well lately and my complexion isn’t good either. When my hair grows longer, I look depressed and fragile.
After cutting it short, I immediately felt a lot more energetic.
He Shu was quite satisfied, and Zhao Qishui was also satisfied. The father and son trimmed their hair, paid the money, and left the barber shop happily.
"Godfather, shall I take you to the store?"
"Okay, let's make an appointment with Miaomiao today, right? It's going to be fun."
"Yeah." He Shu drove his godfather to the store first, and then called Xia Miao to come down when he arrived downstairs of her house.
Xia Miao was wearing a white down jacket and rabbit-shaped earmuffs on her ears, which stunned He Shu. Isn't she too cute?
"I thought you were going to come later."
Xia Miao's face was curved with a smile, full of joy: "My dad said we should come back in the afternoon and have dinner at my house in the evening."
"Okay." He Shu originally planned to come here before the New Year.
"Let's go, let's go see the new house first." Xia Miao has been running to the new house whenever she has nothing to do these days, and she has long wanted to give He Shu a surprise.
After getting in the car, Xia Miao looked around and said, "It's a new car. Did you buy it?"
"My godfather bought it for me."
"Godfather is so nice." Xia Miao buckled her seat belt with a smile and shouted energetically, "Let's go! Zhuangyuan Mansion!"
He Shu smiled and drove towards Zhuangyuanfu community.
Passing by a flower shop, Xia Miao asked him to stop the car, then went down and bought a bouquet of flowers.
"This is?"
"I bought an extra vase, but I'm still short of a bouquet of flowers."
Looking at the flowers, He Shu suggested: "Shall we go see Teacher Li in the next two days?"
"Okay, I was planning to wait for you to come back so we can go together. I miss you so much, I wonder how much you've grown up."
After Xia Miao finished speaking, she reached out and stroked the back of He Shu's hand that was on the steering wheel: "After we finish visiting Teacher Li, let's find time to go to the cemetery to visit Auntie, okay?"
The smile on He Shu's face froze for a moment, and then he hummed softly...
Zhuangyuanfu Community is very well built and can be considered a high-end residential community in Danhe City.
In the past two years, housing prices have skyrocketed across the country. Even in the small city of Danhe, the average housing price has now reached five thousand.
As a high-end residential area, Zhuangyuanfu has housing prices approaching 10,000 yuan. Although it cannot be compared with big cities, it has become an alternative wealthy area in Danhe.
Godfather Zhao Qishui once said that when He Shu’s old building was demolished, it would have been nice to just take the house.
You can’t buy a good house with 400,000 yuan nowadays.
However, He Shu did not regret this idea. If he had his own house at that time, could he still continue to live in his godfather's house?
The benefits he received during these years at his godfather's house cannot be measured by money.
Zhuangyuanfu Community has its own underground parking lot. Xia Miao pointed out the location. The two found an empty space to park, and He Shu followed Xia Miao along the passage into the community.
"My godfather gave me the door card here. You have to swipe the card when you get off the bus and go through the community gate. You have to go and get two more cards later."
"Um."
To be honest, this house was allocated to He Shu, but He Shu has never come here once.
He didn't even know which building or floor his home was on.
Going up the stairs from the parking lot, there is a small square outside with many fitness facilities, but it is cold now and there are not many people.
Xia Miao held He Shu's hand and introduced the area to him as they walked. It seemed that she had already gotten to know the community very well.
"That little western-style building over there looks like a castle. Do you see it? I heard that a kindergarten will be opened there in the future."
"Children in the community can go to kindergarten right next to their homes without having to go out."
He Shu looked over and could only see a corner of it, hidden behind two buildings. "That's quite convenient."
"The low-rise buildings in the back are the first phase of the project. They are the cheapest houses in the community now, costing more than 7,000 yuan per square meter. The most people live there too."
"What period is our family in?"
When Xia Miao heard He Shu say "our family", her face suddenly turned red and she felt sweet in her heart.
"Our...home is in Phase 3, so the house you were given is pretty good."
He Shu smiled and held Xia Miao's hand tightly: "What do you mean my house? Isn't this our house? Now is a good time, let's go add your name to it some other day."
