Chapter 437 Everything is under preparation
The call was picked up quickly, and He Shu now called him dad naturally.
"dad."
"Hey, are you busy?"
He Shu put down the pen in his hand: "Not busy, Dad, what's the matter?"
"Haha, nothing much. I'm going to Dadu in a while. Is there anything you want to eat?"
"I don't want to eat anything in particular. Dad, when are you coming over? Tell Xia Miao in advance and she will come back with you."
Zhao Qishui was surprised and asked, "Why did Xia Miao stay for so few days? Didn't she graduate?"
"She's back to review for the exam."
"Oh, okay, don't worry."
After a brief chat, Zhao Qishui didn't know how to start. He Shu waited for a while and then called him "Dad" again.
"Dad, is there something wrong with you? You can't hide it from me."
"No...it's just...I went to see your Uncle Meng earlier."
He Shu was silent. It turned out that it was the matter of repaying the money that made his godfather uncomfortable.
He thought for a moment and said, "Dad, we are not without money, there is no need to borrow. I, your son, have millions in my hands. Can I watch you starve outside?"
"If I really needed it, I wouldn't not ask you."
Zhao Qishui smiled helplessly. Even if he really needed it, the child wouldn't ask him.
"Dad, if you really think of me as your son, you shouldn't think like this. Anyway, I don't think that's the way it is between father and son."
"Okay, Dad got it wrong. From now on, we can discuss things together. You're right. Aren't we a family?"
When He Shu heard his godfather say this, he smiled.
"By the way, Dad, I heard from Uncle Meng that the car dealership business is not doing well right now? Why didn't you tell me?"
Zhao Qishui looked outside at the idle people and sighed, "Hey, there's no point telling you this. The market is like this now. There are all kinds of businesses popping up... The competition is fierce."
"But don't worry, Dad has many regular customers, so he won't be unable to continue."
After He Shu talked with Meng Yuhang before, he had indeed thought about this matter.
"Dad, do you think we should expand our business? And get some better machines?"
"And I saw that there are those coin-operated self-service car wash machines . If we move to a bigger store, we can also install one next to it."
Zhao Qishui also wanted to expand his business. His car dealership was a little too small. He had many regular customers, but not everyone was willing to wait.
But whether expanding the store or replacing equipment, how much will it cost?
Just the kind of self-service car washing machine that He Shu mentioned would cost tens of thousands of dollars, and you also need space for it.
"Dad, I actually have another idea."
"What do you think?"
"Why don't you just open another one in Dadu?" He Shu said with a smile, "That way I don't have to run back and forth every month, and it's closer to me and my brother."
Zhao Qishui thought it was even more impossible. How could he afford to buy a shop in Dadu? If he rented it, the cost would be too high.
"Don't worry about washing the car, just study hard."
"You have become successful now and can help Dad pay back the debt. I am not in a hurry anymore..."
He Shu heard this and responded, "Well, it's good to take it slowly. It's not that tiring."
Zhao Qishui thought that He Shu was helping him pay back the money, but He Shu knew that the money was originally meant for him.
After hanging up the phone , He Shu sat quietly for a long time. He thought he would find a chance to bring up the idea of asking his godfather to come to Dadu.
Maybe after he gets married and can move into a new house, his godfather will have a place to stay when he comes, and he can stay longer.
After He Shu and Xia Miao graduated, marriage was put on the agenda. The new house was built in a hurry and was basically completed in April, which took almost a year.
The furniture and electrical appliances were all arranged by my aunt. The young couple took a look and were very satisfied.
Now everything is ready, except the wedding date which has not yet been decided.
Let’s take advantage of the summer vacation. It feels a bit too rushed and everything is prepared in a hurry.
Xia Miao meant that she wanted to take the civil service exam.
It's not that she is not anxious, she is even more looking forward to it than He Shu, but precisely because of this, she doesn't want to do it hastily.
Getting married is a major event that happens once in a lifetime, so every aspect must be considered. Besides, it takes time for Xia Miao to customize her wedding dress and other things.
He Shu also agreed with Xia Miao's opinion that it would be better to let the new house air out for a few months so that it would be better to live in.
…
In mid-August, Zhao Qishui and Xia Miao returned to Dadu, and He Shu accompanied them to visit Zhao Yange.
This time during the visit, I felt that Zhao Yan looked much better and seemed to be living well in prison.
He was in a good mood. After the last sentence reduction, he had less than ten years left in his sentence. If he worked harder and behaved well, he might be able to be released from prison early.
After coming more often, my godfather is no longer the same as before. I feel heartbroken every time I see him.
Sometimes Zhao Yan asked him for cigarettes, and if he smoked too frequently, he would scold him and say that he was a bad student.
After the visit, Zhao Qishui only stayed at Qi's house for one night before returning to Danhe.
Xia Miao lived in Qi's house and studied with He Shu every day. Occasionally, He Shu went back to school to see the professor.
She just stayed at home with her aunt or took walks with her grandfather.
Now the whole compound knows that this pretty little girl is Mr. Qi’s granddaughter-in-law.
Everyone praised the old man for being so lucky, and Grandpa was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling all day long. He liked to take Xia Miao out for a stroll and show off even more...
My aunt Qi Xue came back twice. Both times she had dinner at home, stayed overnight, and went back to work early the next morning.
Qi Xue has been very busy since joining the Discipline Inspection Commission. She has been assigned a house to live in outside, so she doesn't come back often.
Xia Miao wants to take the civil service exam. Her aunt Qi Xue is the one who pays the most attention to her in the family. Her advice to Xia Miao is to aim for a national ministry, such as the Ministry of Commerce.
Although it is more difficult, it is worth it.
My grandfather doesn't express his opinions easily, nor does he interfere with the decisions of his juniors.
Even if my uncle had opinions, no one would listen to him. Besides, in his eyes, all departments were the same.
The only one who opposed it was my aunt. She felt that working in a ministry was too tiring. One of the young couple should have a more relaxed life, right?
He Shu can't change his mind. He will be engaged in scientific research in the future. Then even if Xia Miao is too busy to have time to go home, how can she still live?
Now the pressure is on Xia Miao, and Xia Miao wants to ask what He Shu thinks?
He Shu knew that since his aunt had made such a suggestion, it meant that she would definitely help, and then Xia Miao might really be able to get in.
"You have to decide for yourself. Work is different from school. You have to like it to stick with it."
Upon hearing this, Xia Miao told her aunt that she would think about it again and wait for the recruitment notice to come out to see what positions are available this year.
That being said, Xia Miao studied even harder than before throughout the entire summer vacation, burying herself in thick materials every day.
He Shu probably knew her choice in his heart. The little girl actually had a heart that refused to admit defeat and wanted to have a better future...
