Chapter 273 The bond between father and son will never end
Qi Zhijun felt that He Shu had become an adult, so he told him about the current situation at home.
Who can tell what will happen in the future?
Qi Zhijun also knew that he was loyal and brave but lacked wisdom.
If it weren't for his father, he might have been a low-ranking officer in the army all his life.
Therefore, Qi Zhijun really hopes that He Shu will be able to support the family in the future, although Qi Zhijun feels a little bit contemptuous of this nephew in many aspects.
But there was only one thing that made him very happy. He felt that He Shu was smarter than him, but he was too young. He would definitely be better than him when he matured.
After sending He Shu to the airport, Qi Zhijun went back.
He Shu was still thinking about what his uncle had just said, and felt a little upset.
He started to get in touch with Nan Zhan through Chen He, and Chen He probably never thought that the clues he gave would become more and more involved.
If Chen He had known that the people he wanted to die with had such a powerful umbrella of protection behind them, he would have seen the truth and given up earlier.
The three-hour flight quickly brought He Shu back to Danhe from Dadu.
After leaving the airport, godfather Zhao Qishui came to greet me with a smile.
"Dad, you've been waiting for a long time, right?"
"No, I just got here too. Give me your luggage."
Zhao Qishui felt much better when he saw He Shu. He patted He Shu's shoulder heavily and said, "You are stronger now."
The father and son got in the car and went straight home. He Shu took out the gift that his aunt gave to his godfather, which made Zhao Qishui very embarrassed.
"Don't bring anything next time. It'll cost your aunt a lot of money."
After helping to put things away, He Shu looked around the house. It was still the same as before, and the sheets and quilt covers in his room had all been newly replaced.
"Godfather, is the store busy lately?"
"Not busy." Zhao Qi made a pot of tea. "It's just that it's hard to recruit people. Didn't Xiao Dong want to resign? I'm going to recruit another experienced person."
"Brother Dong, are you quitting?" He Shu walked over and sat next to his godfather.
"I heard last month that Xiaodong had a girlfriend, but he didn't mention that he was leaving."
Zhao Qishui was very open-minded: "Isn't it a matter of time? He told me that his family is going to rent a shop for him in Ningjiangkou, and he will leave once I find a master."
He Shu heard this and knew that no one could work for anyone forever: "That's good too. I guess it will be easier to get married when Brother Dong starts his own business."
"Haha, his parents have been waiting anxiously for a long time."
The tea was ready, and Zhao Qishui poured a cup for He Shu: "Try it, I brought it back from the south."
He Shu held the teacup and took a sip. He could not taste any other flavor except bitterness.
"Godfather, did something happen to you during your trip to the South?"
He Shu felt that his godfather didn't seem as energetic as before. His appearance hadn't changed much, but it was easy to notice when a person's spirit was gone.
Zhao Qishui raised his hand and touched He Shu's head as he did before, with some fatigue showing on his face.
"He Shu, do you think it's possible for me to find Zhao Yan in this lifetime? Why do I feel that it's unlikely to find him?"
This was the first time that He Shu heard Zhao Qishui say such discouraging words. His godfather had never given up before.
He Shu couldn't give his godfather a clear answer. He thought for a moment and said softly, "Godfather, if you are tired, just take a good rest. As long as the bond between you two is intact, we will meet again sooner or later."
Zhao Qishui's eyes felt slightly hot and he nodded silently.
Who knows if this father-son bond has been broken? Perhaps it was broken when Zhao Yan was lost at the age of four.
Zhao Qishui told He Shu about the dragon and the jade. After the identification results came out, it turned out that he had no blood relationship with Zhao Qishui.
Tian Tian helped to register Long Heyu's detailed information on the website and also found him a temporary job. Now he can work while waiting for news.
" He has obvious features, so if his biological parents want to find him, it will be easy."
He Shu listened quietly. He could feel that his godfather treated this young man named Long Heyu differently.
Godfather had come into contact with many abducted children before, but none of them had ever haunted him like this one.
"Godfather, do you like him very much? We can keep in touch in the future."
Zhao Qishui shook his head: "That night, he ran out of the house, dragged me along, and said he wanted to go with me for identification. At that time, I really felt that he was the son I was looking for."
He Shu understood that the feeling of just feeling hopeful but then having it shattered immediately had accumulated too much.
No matter how strong a godfather is, there will always be a day when he can no longer bear it and collapses.
He Shu stretched out his arm and put his arm around Zhao Qishui's shoulders: "Godfather, as long as you never give up, there will always be hope."
Zhao Qishui forced a smile. He used to comfort himself in the same way.
"If you really can't find it, just treat me as Brother Zhao Yan. I will be filial to you."
"Good boy!" Zhao Qishui looked at He Shu with relief, and also reached out to hug He Shu's head and touched his head: "Haha, you've really grown up. Don't worry, godfather is fine."
"If you call me dad, I have to wait until the day you get married and start a family."
Zhao Qishui said he was fine, but He Shu was always worried.
It was the May Day holiday and the weather was nice, so He Shu took his godfather out for a walk.
They don't go to far places, they just go hiking at nearby scenic spots within an hour or two's drive, which is nice for relieving stress.
In two days, the father and son climbed four mountains and were so tired that their knees were sore from walking.
He Shu was in such a state, and Zhao Qishui 's legs were so sore that he couldn't even climb the stairs.
But he was indeed in a much better mood, and the two of them developed all the photos they took on the top of the mountain, made some frames and hung them in the living room.
The photo in the middle was taken at a photo studio before He Shu went to college that year...
On the last day of the holiday, He Shude returned to Dadu.
He Shu went to the cemetery early in the morning. Every time he came back, he would go to see his mother.
When I came back, I bought a lot of vegetables at the morning market, cooked a big meal at noon, and called Brother Xiao Dong to ask him to come over.
The three of them drank some wine. He Shu had to take a flight in the afternoon, so he only drank a glass of beer. Godfather and Brother Xiao Dong also drank some white wine.
After I finished drinking, I realized that I couldn’t drive.
He Shu smiled and told them not to worry about it and to take a taxi themselves.
After the meal, godfather drank a lot, so He Shu took him to the room to sleep.
Then she cleared the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, and went downstairs with Brother Xiao Dong.
"Brother Xiao Dong, are you really going to leave?"
Xiao Dong nodded: "I don't want to either, but my family is forcing me to do so. Isn't it time to get married?"
"What about your partner?"
"She'll go back too. We've both thought it through. I'll open a car repair shop and she 'll open a barber shop next door. With the help of our two families, we can open a shop. Shops are not that expensive over there, and are about the same as in the countryside."
"That's great." He Shu really thought it was great. It seemed that the person Xiao Dong found had a nice family as well.
"Brother Xiao Dong, please inform me in advance when you get married."
Xiao Dong laughed and said, "Of course I will. I will ask you to be my best man when the time comes!"
