Chapter 450 Return Home
Just as he was about to go over and hug his son whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Guoguo came out from behind the courtyard wall, holding a gun in his hand and pointing it at him.
"What a bad guy you are !"
"Don't move!"
Listening to Guoguo's babyish voice, He Shu couldn't help but smile: "Guoguo, I'm your dad."
Guoguo pursed her lips tightly and looked at He Shu with suspicion, which made He Shu feel uncomfortable for a while.
He took two steps forward and wanted to pick up his son, but saw Guoguo raised the gun again, and the plastic bullets in it hit him all at once.
When the bullets were used up and the enemy had not fallen yet, Guoguo began to howl and cry loudly, leaving He Shu suddenly at a loss.
A sound of hurried footsteps came out of the house. Before He Shu could see who it was, Guo Guo had already pounced over.
She cried and shouted, "Grandpa, the human traffickers are coming."
He Shu turned around and saw his godfather, followed by his aunt and uncle who came running out, and even his grandfather who walked out slowly on crutches.
For a moment, there was no other sound in front of the courtyard except Guoguo's crying.
“I’m back.”
When family members who hadn't seen each other for a long time met again, these were the only words they said.
He Shu's eyes turned red and he nodded gently: "I'm back..."
…
Everyone returned to the house. No matter how Zhao Qishui and Zhu Yu explained that He Shu was not a human trafficker, Guoguo just didn't believe that the bearded man in front of him was his father, and refused to let He Shu hug him no matter what.
"Dad doesn't look like this."
Guoguo clenched his fists and tried to explain himself, but when no one believed him, he walked upstairs on his short legs.
After a while, he ran out of the room where He Shu used to live, holding a photo frame in his hand.
"This is my father, you are a human trafficker!"
Zhu Yu was afraid that he would fall down the stairs, so she quickly ran up and carried him down.
Guoguo still waved the photo: "Grandpa said that human traffickers kidnapped children! You are lying, you are a human trafficker!"
Zhao Qishui felt a little embarrassed. He always told Guoguo that there were terrible human traffickers out there who would deceive people and kidnap children, and told him not to run around alone. As a result, Guoguo remembered it.
He Shu saw the photo. It was taken with a mobile phone on a path in the woods when he and Xia Miao had just confirmed their relationship in college.
At that time, He Shu was wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt, standing somewhat stiffly under the shade of a tree. The mottled sunlight sprinkled on his body, full of youthful breath.
This must be Xia Miao's favorite photo. I don't know when it was developed and framed.
Just like He Shu’s phone screensaver , it is still the photo of Xia Miao’s profile that he secretly took.
"I also have a dad on the wall of my house, you are not my dad!"
On the wall at home, should it be a wedding photo? He Shu was a little amused. He looked so unkempt, no wonder his son couldn't recognize him.
He Shu didn't force the child. He Shu understood that his son was still breastfeeding when he left, so how could he remember him?
I had a good chat with my relatives for a while. My grandfather is in good health, my uncle has officially retired, and my aunt is still the same, but in better spirits.
My aunt got promoted again and I heard that she is even busier now. It seems that she really doesn't consider her own life anymore.
As for godfather, Brother Xiao Dong has returned, and the store in Danhe has been handed over to Brother Xiao Dong to manage. He now spends more time in Dadu than in Danhe, playing with his grandson all day and visiting Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan will be released from prison soon. He has behaved well and has started to study painting systematically. His sentence has been gradually reduced and he will be released in more than three years.
Finally, it was Xia Miao. I heard that Xia Miao was also promoted to a small leader.
While chatting, Guoguo leaned beside his great-grandfather and peeked at He Shu. He Shu knew it and smiled at him from time to time.
Every time the little guy comes to this point, he quickly turns his head away, which is really funny.
"I'm going to go take a shower and change my clothes, then pick up Xia Miao from get off work and give her a surprise."
My aunt smiled and said, "As she should. When you're not at home, Xia Miao is the one who suffers the most."
He Shu returned to the room where he used to live. This was where Xia Miao lived when she came. Now the room was filled with his son Guoguo's toys and picture books.
He took a shower, shaved, changed his shirt, looked in the mirror, and vaguely looked the same as before.
After going downstairs, Guoguo was sitting on the floor of the living room pushing a car.
Seeing the brand new He Shu, his eyes widened immediately.
He Shu walked up to him, squatted down with a smile and said, "Do I look like a father now?"
Guoguo's big eyes were as clear as a mirror. He looked at He Shu for a long time, then suddenly got up, ran into the kitchen, and threw himself on his great aunt's lap.
Zhu Yu picked him up and shook him around, but she found it difficult to hold the little chubby boy.
"Aunt, is he dad?"
Zhu Yu carried Guo Guo to the living room, pointed at He Shu and asked, "Do you think he looks like the photo?"
Guoguo didn't say anything, just twisted her two little hands, looking so adorable.
He Shu smiled and said, "Take it slow. After a while, the child will be able to kiss you."
He walked out of the house and drove his uncle's car to pick up Xia Miao.
Guoguo struggled to get off his great aunt, ran to the door with his short legs, and watched the car drive away.
There was a confused expression on his little face that was not suitable for his age. When the car was out of sight, he suddenly burst into tears again.
"Wow... Dad, Dad is gone again..."
…
Before leaving get off work, Xia Miao called home and asked whether Guoguo had been well behaved today.
My aunt answered the phone and said that Guoguo was very well behaved. Xia Miao didn't take it seriously because she always said that.
But Xia Miao could still tell from the phone that her aunt was in a good mood: "Aunt, what are you so happy about?"
"Haha, you'll know later. It's almost time to get off work, right?"
"Yeah, I was just about to leave."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back for dinner."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Miao packed up the things on her desk and walked out with her bag.
She has learned to drive, but she doesn't like driving. During rush hour, the traffic is terribly congested, so it is more convenient to take the subway.
In the more than two years since He Shu left, Xia Miao has not kept herself idle in order to ease her longing for him. While working, she also obtained a master's degree, which has given herself a lot of room for development.
I was thinking about talking to my family about He Qixing's going to kindergarten when I go back today.
The child should learn some rules. In this environment at home, he will only grow up to be a little devil.
But my aunt and her family must be reluctant to let me go, right? Oh, I really don’t know how to persuade them.
While thinking about these trivial matters, Xia Miao suddenly heard a familiar voice.
She paused and turned her head to look. He Shu was holding a large bouquet of beautiful roses and looking at her tenderly.
Xia Miao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly ran over and threw herself into He Shu's arms.
The bouquets fell, and the two of them hugged each other tightly, not caring about anyone else.
When we are all busy with our own things, it seems that separation is nothing and time passes quickly.
But it was only when we met again that I realized how deeply I missed you.
The feeling of crying with joy didn't show in my eyes, but it was reflected in my heart, which was tingling and painful...
After a passionate kiss, He Shu pulled Xia Miao into the car, and Xia Miao hurriedly picked up the flowers.
The two of them tacitly agreed not to go back to the compound first, and drove directly back to their homes.
In the surprised eyes of the nanny, He Shu rushed upstairs with Xia Miao in his arms and slammed the bedroom door...
