Chapter 391 Night
When I got back to my godfather's house, he was still awake and watching TV.
Hearing the door open, Zhao Qishui quickly put out his cigarette.
As soon as He Shu entered the living room, he smelled a strong smell of cigarette smoke. The whole living room was filled with smoke.
It’s not easy to open the windows in winter, so the smell dissipates more slowly.
"Father, please smoke less. It's bad for your health."
Zhao Qishui smiled and agreed: "I won't smoke next time."
That being said, Zhao Qishui, a heavy smoker, can't quit smoking in a short time.
"How about going to Miaomiao's house? Her parents are pretty nice, right?"
"Yeah, it's good. I'm full."
As He Shu spoke, he put his taken-off shoes into the shoe cabinet.
Then I hung up my coat and went to the bathroom to wash my hands.
"Godfather, Xia Miao and I have ordered all the furniture and appliances for the new house today. After we finish packing, shall we spend the New Year there?"
"Celebrating the New Year in a new house?"
He Shu nodded and took a rag to wipe the water in the sink.
"Well, the heating there is better. After the New Year, I will go back to Dadu to go to school. You can move there to save yourself the trouble of climbing the stairs."
"It's fine to spend the New Year there, but I won't live there."
"Why?"
Zhao Qishui said with a smile: "If I move into this nice new house, won't I have to live in the old one?"
“Isn’t a house for living in?”
"That's different. The house is for you and Xia Miao to live in after you get married."
He Shu walked out of the bathroom and sat next to his godfather: "Godfather, Xia Miao and I will definitely spend more time in Dadu in the future, and it's not good to leave the house empty."
"Besides, Xia Miao and I are married, so you can live with us. Three rooms are enough."
Zhao Qishui still disagreed: "Silly boy, how can young people be willing to live with the elderly nowadays?"
He Shu looked at Zhao Qishui carefully and said seriously, "Godfather, you are not that old."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Zhao Qishui laughed so hard that tears came out, but he still refused to move there.
"Godfather can't help you too much. We will spend the New Year in the new house. When you go to school, Godfather will come over to see you and help take care of you when he's free, but I won't live there."
Seeing that He Shu was still trying to persuade him, Zhao Qishui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, that's it for now. We'll talk about the future later. Go take a shower and go to bed."
He Shu stopped talking after hearing that and got up to go to the bathroom to wash up.
Zhao Qishui stopped watching TV, tidied up the living room, and went back to his room.
Around ten o'clock in the evening, Zhao Qishui quietly went out, thinking that He Shu should be asleep, and saw that there was still a light on.
He pushed the door open and saw that He Shu was not asleep at all. He was fiddling with the computer. The screen was filled with so many lines that he couldn't understand what he was doing.
"Godfather? Why haven't you slept yet?" He Shu turned his head and asked.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet? You can't stay up late to take care of your health."
"I'll be asleep soon."
"No, turn it off and go to sleep. Do whatever you want to do during the day. Just rest well at home during the holidays."
He Shu obediently saved the half-finished program, then turned off the computer and went to bed.
"I'll turn off the lights for you, go to sleep quickly."
Zhao Qishui turned off the lights, left the door a crack on purpose, and went back to his room.
He yawned, but he didn't dare to sleep any longer, so he simply set an alarm for himself and woke up in two hours.
He Shu went to bed, but didn't get up secretly and fell asleep quickly.
In the middle of the night, Zhao Qishui was awakened by the ringing of the phone and quickly turned it off.
He sat up and woke up a little, then sneaked to He Shu's room to see how he slept.
The truth was that he had personally seen He Shu's state when he had a nightmare. Although he couldn't wake him up, Zhao Qishui felt it would be better for him to keep watch over him.
It was quiet in He Shu's room. Zhao Qishui leaned against the crack of the door but didn't hear any noise, so he felt relieved.
That night, Zhao Qishui got up almost every two hours to check on He Shu.
Fortunately, He Shu has been safe and sound and has not had any nightmares, which makes Zhao Qishui very happy. He thinks that the Chinese medicine should still be effective.
However, because he didn't sleep well at night, Zhao Qishui overslept in the morning.
He Shu did have dreams, but they were not nightmares. Instead, he dreamed of himself and Xia Miao together.
Maybe the kiss with Xia Miao last night was a bit too exciting, and I felt something was wrong as soon as I opened my eyes.
He Shu rubbed his forehead, got out of bed, found a pair of clean underwear, stretched his head to look outside, and saw that his godfather had not gotten up yet, so he tiptoed into the bathroom.
Zhao Qishui didn't get up until after nine o'clock, and was woken up by his cell phone.
Xiao Dong called and said that the store was too busy and asked why the master didn't go.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Qishui walked out of the house and saw a large bowl covered by a plate on the table.
When I opened it, I saw noodles inside and a poached egg on top.
A smile appeared on Zhao Qishui's face. His son was so nice that he even made breakfast for him in the morning.
He turned his head and looked into He Shu's house. He Shu's door was half open and there was no one in the house. He must have gone out.
There was still the smell of heated Chinese medicine in the kitchen. I knew he had taken the medicine in the morning, so I didn't call him.
Zhao Qishui knew that He Shu had to go to the new house to install furniture today, so he picked up the chopsticks and ate all the noodles.
Then he went out without washing his face, wearing an old cotton-padded jacket...
On the other side, He Shu had already picked up Xia Miao. As soon as the two arrived at their new community, the furniture delivery worker called and asked if anyone was home.
After waiting for about an hour, the wardrobes, cabinets and other large furniture that I ordered yesterday were delivered.
After arriving, the master helped with the installation. The furniture had not been put in place yet, but the sofa, electrical appliances and other items had also arrived.
What they bought yesterday were all in stock, but there were not enough technicians to install them.
As for the water heater, range hood and the like, I guess we will have to wait until the next day or the day after tomorrow for someone to come and install them.
My godfather had asked someone to take care of the rest of the water, electricity, and gas when he was at home. Once these pieces of furniture were placed in the house, it no longer felt empty.
At noon, the two of them had a quick meal at a restaurant near the community. In the afternoon, they waited for the goods to be delivered and simply packed up and there was nothing to do.
" Let's give Teacher Li a call. Let's see when it's convenient for us to go over."
He Shu said casually while picking up the packaging bags and cartons on the ground.
"Okay, we can go before the New Year."
Xia Miao took out her cell phone and called Teacher Li. The phone rang for a long time before the other party answered.
"Teacher Li, are you home? He Shu and I want to go over and see you and little Niuniu."
He Shu pressed the cardboard box and turned to look over.
"Ah? Not at home? Oh... OK, then wait until after the New Year. Well, He Shu and I are both fine."
Xia Miao also glanced at He Shu with a smile in her eyes.
"Yes, then we will come to wish you a happy new year after the Chinese New Year."
Seeing Xia Miao hung up the phone, He Shu asked, "Is Teacher Li not at home?"
"Yes, the teacher said she will not be at home during the New Year."
"Well, let's wait until the teacher comes back."
