Chapter 399: Kowtow and New Year Greetings
Many times, you will be fully and carefully prepared for something.
Just like the Chinese New Year, preparations start long in advance, including the New Year’s goods and the sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinners.
When the waiting time came , I found that I had bought a lot of New Year's goods that I couldn't finish eating or using. I was busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner for a whole day, but I didn't eat much.
But the next year, people still enjoy it.
What we are pursuing is just the atmosphere.
In He Shu's opinion, atmosphere is a very mysterious thing. In fact, it is the atmosphere that affects you.
While they should have been cheering for the grand fireworks, he and Xia Miao were completely out of the mood.
The fireworks became the backdrop, and the cheers and sounds of firecrackers were like alternative catalysts, urging the two to hug and kiss each other uncontrollably.
Xia Miao's lips were kissed red again by He Shu, and her eyes were like fireworks in the sky, flashing non-stop.
He Shu looked at her stupidly. When Xia Miao called him, he lowered his head. When Xia Miao closed her eyes, he kissed her.
No rehearsal, no preparation, everything just happened naturally...
But now, he found Xia Miao was laughing, and for a moment he didn't know what she was laughing at.
But for some reason, He Shu's mouth corners couldn't help but pull to the sides, and he also smiled.
The crowd is still cheering, time has moved forward again, a new year, a new beginning.
At this moment of New Year's Eve, they kissed passionately, at this moment of New Year's Eve, they were laughing...
It was already late at night when I returned to Xia Miao's community from the riverside.
But it doesn’t matter, we still have to stay up to celebrate the New Year, so it doesn’t matter if we don’t sleep.
"I'm going back. I'm going to my grandma's house on the third day of junior high school. What about you?"
He Shu shook his head: "I'm not going anywhere. I'll wait for you to come back."
Xia Miao leaned over again and kissed He Shu on the face.
He Shu got out of the car to see her off, and walked her all the way to the entrance of the staircase. He didn't seem reluctant to leave. Xia Miao smiled sweetly and walked briskly.
Returning to the Zhuangyuan Mansion, I opened the door and saw the bright lights.
The TV volume was turned up very loud. He Shu walked in and saw his godfather dozing off on the sofa with his head tilted to one side.
The Spring Festival Gala has already ended, but I don’t know which channel it was on, but it was actually broadcasting a martial arts movie at this moment.
He Shu changed his clothes, washed his hands and rinsed his mouth, then turned off the TV.
He could sleep even though the TV was so noisy, but Zhao Qishui woke up when He Shu turned on him.
After wiping his face, Zhao Qishui squinted at He Shu and said, "You're back. Did you have fun?"
He Shu smiled and nodded: "Happy, godfather, why don't you go to sleep in the house if you are sleepy?"
"Haha, I wanted to watch for a while, but I fell asleep before I knew it. Oh, I'm getting old. I used to be able to stay up all night during the New Year."
"Don't stay up, let's go to bed."
"Okay..." Zhao Qishui stood up and took out a red envelope; "Well, it's past 12 o'clock, I can give you the New Year's money, haha."
He Shu didn't answer. As soon as Zhao Qishui raised his eyebrows, He Shu walked over and pushed him to sit on the sofa.
Then he walked around the coffee table, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Zhao Qishui: "Godfather, Happy New Year."
After He Shu kowtowed and wished a happy new year, he looked up at Zhao Qishui.
Zhao Qishui laughed and scolded, "It's so formal. I feel like I don't have enough red envelopes, haha." Although he was smiling, his eyes were a little red.
"Okay, okay, happy New Year to you too, come and get the red envelope."
He Shu then took it with a smile and stood up from the ground.
…
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, He Shu and his son could no longer stay at home.
He Shu is fine, he can do his homework and study the simulation system.
But godfather Zhao Qishui was bored. Fortunately, after the Chinese New Year, apart from various phone calls to wish everyone a happy new year on the first day of the new year, there was nothing to do.
He Shu has been fine at night these past few days. Zhao Qishui gets up to check on him from time to time, and he has not had any nightmares.
Seeing that the two packets of Chinese medicine he brought back were almost finished, Zhao Qishui felt that He Shu was almost recovered.
Zhao Qishui felt relieved and decided to open for business on the fourth day of the New Year.
He Shu went with his godfather. The two of them set off a string of firecrackers at the door and then opened the rolling door.
At the beginning of the new year, there were suddenly two fewer people in the store.
Brother Xiao Dong is not coming, and Aunt Liu is not coming either.
Fortunately, before the Chinese New Year, we hired a car mechanic and also had people to wash cars, so we take on as many jobs as we can.
There were quite a few people coming to wash their cars in the morning, probably to visit relatives and wish them a happy new year.
There were not many people in the afternoon, so Zhao Qishui lit the stove and everyone gathered together to chat.
At this time, a cool-looking sports car drove over from outside, and He Shu felt vaguely that it looked familiar.
The car stopped in front of the store and two people got out.
One of them was wearing a new Adidas down jacket and had a few strands of blue sprayed in her hair, which was very eye-catching.
The other one wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a coat, looking like an elite.
He Shu looked closely and found that the person dyeing his hair was actually Lai Huaguang.
The other person looked familiar to him, and after thinking for a while he remembered that it was Li Lisen.
The two men obviously didn't expect to meet He Shu. They walked around the neighborhood before they found a car wash that was open.
Li Lisen was surprised, then he smiled and strode towards He Shu.
"Happy New Year, old classmate."
He Shu also smiled and said, "Long time no see, Happy New Year."
Lai Huaguang didn't come over, but stood there with a grim look on his face. He didn't forget who sent him to the detention center and made him suffer.
He Shu ignored Lai Huaguang and asked when Li Lisen came back.
Li Lisen smiled and said that he came back on the 28th and left after the 8th.
"I was just trying to contact you and get you together, but I didn't know if you would give me the chance. I didn't expect to meet you today."
"Old classmate, this is fate. How about we go out together later?"
Li Lisen studied at a university in Tianjin for three years, and his accent has become somewhat distorted.
He was still as enthusiastic towards He Shu as before.
However, the relationship between the two was a bit subtle. Because he also kept in touch with Lai Huaguang, He Shu did not think of him as his friend.
"I won't go. My godfather's store is short of staff and I can't leave. Let's go another day."
Zhao Qishui was listening inside. Since some classmates came to play with He Shu, he wanted He Shu to go with them.
But seeing that He Shu had changed the subject and asked them if they wanted to wash the car, Zhao Qishui did not say anything.
"We went to the riverside to watch the fireworks show on the night of the 30th. A few fireworks were set off too close and broke the car door. I wanted to see if it could be fixed."
It turned out that they were also at the riverside that day , but He Shu didn't say that he went there too.
He called his godfather out, saying that if the car needed to be repainted, only his godfather could do the job.
Lai Huaguang stood there in silence, as if this was not his car.
Li Lisen saw that the two were not getting along, so he didn't try to persuade them. He took out a box of Huazi and handed it to He Shu.
He Shu was surprised that he had also learned to smoke, and shook his head, "I can't."
Li Lisen didn't force it. He handed a cigarette to Zhao Qishui first: "Uncle, have a cigarette." Then he distributed it to other people in the car dealership.
Zhao Qishui took a look while holding a cigarette in his mouth. The paint on the car door was just a little chipped. It wasn't a big deal, but it would definitely not be finished in an afternoon.
Hearing this, Lai Huaguang called out to Li Lisen, "Let's go to another place. Look at this shabby shop. There's nothing good to paint."
Li Lisen looked embarrassed and speechless. Lai Huaguang, how old are you? You can't say nice things on New Year's Day?
He looked at He Shu standing aside with no expression on his face, and immediately made up his mind: "Lai Huaguang, go find him. Send me a message about how much the spray paint costs and I'll transfer it to you."
As he spoke, he patted He Shu's arm affectionately: "He Shu and I will chat here for a while, and I will contact you later."
