Chapter 430: Careful Thoughts
With the beginning of winter vacation, He Shu no longer has to worry about whether to go back to Danhe for the New Year or stay in Dadu.
Something happened to Zhao Yan, and his godfather is here, so he must be here too.
Xia Miao wanted to go back. The Xia family had always been keen on visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year, and the relationships among the Xia family's relatives were very good.
You can see it from the last engagement party.
Although it was not a formal wedding banquet, it was said that it was just an opportunity for family members to get to know each other.
But all the Xia family's relatives who could come came. My godfather said that on the way back, the plane seemed to be booked because they were all acquaintances.
Originally, Xia Miao had said that if He Shu could return to Danhe this year, she wanted to take him to her grandparents' house for two days.
He Shu didn't really want to go in the first place, because Xia Miao's relatives were so enthusiastic and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to handle it.
This time he had a good excuse, but He Shu also knew that he could not escape the consequences.
After he married Xia Miao, all of Xia Miao's relatives became his relatives.
On the day Xia Miao returned to Danhe, He Shu drove to see her off, and they arrived at the airport quite some time in advance.
We didn't rush in and stayed in the car for a while.
After all, they couldn’t see each other for the whole New Year, so the two of them hugged each other and were reluctant to let go.
In the end, He Shu surrendered first. He couldn't stand the teasing anymore. He couldn't stand a kiss...
After seeing Xia Miao off, He Shu drove directly to the hospital.
The hospital where Zhao Yan works is a little remote, but not far from the prison, and they have some cooperation.
There are quite a few inmates receiving medical treatment here. One floor of wards is dedicated to inmates. Ordinary people will be accommodated only when there is a shortage of beds, but they will definitely not be in the same ward.
Many prison guards can be seen in the corridor, with folding beds set up and guarding day and night.
He Shu packed some snacks like fried chicken from outside, which Zhao Yan liked to eat.
I also bought some drinks for the prison guards outside to share. They were all doing their job. The temperature in the hospital corridor was not as warm as in the ward.
This kind of work is also very hard...
When we entered the ward, it was not a single room. There were three beds inside. Zhao Yan occupied the one closest to the window. The other two beds were empty, so it was quite quiet.
Zhao Qishui was peeling oranges for Zhao Yan. Ever since Zhao Yan called him "Dad" on the phone during last year's Chinese New Year, there has been no more estrangement between the two of them.
Perhaps Zhao Yan was moved by Zhao Qishui's monthly visits , and he also realized that his father was different from others.
I won't abandon him just because he's in jail.
Moreover, Zhao Qishui had been looking for him for so many years, it was impossible for Zhao Yan not to be touched.
In addition, through these interactions, Zhao Yan also asked Zhao Qishui many questions.
After He Shu went to Nanzhan to visit him in prison and asked him about Chen He, Zhao Yan knew that He Shu's imprisonment was fake and was actually for the purpose of obtaining information.
But now he knows even more how great He Shu’s grandfather is.
In fact, Zhao Yan had told Zhao Qishui to find a way to find He Shu's relatives to help him get his sentence reduced and released from prison.
Zhao Qishui did not tell He Shu about this, nor did he tell the Qi family.
Because Zhao Qishui knew very well that the Qi family would not help him against the rules, it was possible with some proper care.
It can be seen from what happened to He Shu that there is no need to speak up and make it difficult to meet each other in the future?
Although Zhao Qishui felt sorry for his son, he was not confused. With each visit to the prison, not only did Zhao Yan get to know him better.
He also got to know his own son better and better.
I wasn't with Zhao Yan for so many years, so he went astray. It's not the child's fault.
But now that Zhao Yan has been found, Zhao Qishui has the responsibility to teach him to change for the better, be a good person, and not to think about things that he shouldn't.
Fortunately, Zhao Qishui also discovered that although Zhao Yan had many minor flaws in his character and liked to take shortcuts, in essence, he was not a very evil person.
He had made up his mind that when Zhao Yan was released from prison, he would help him find a wife and would hand over the car dealership to him.
If he doesn't want to do it, then let him open a small business that is worry-free and live a simple and ordinary life.
Everyone has selfish desires, and Zhao Qishui certainly hopes that if He Shu achieves success in the future, he can help Zhao Yan.
He didn't expect Zhao Yan to become rich and powerful by following He Shu, but at least he didn't want him to have to wait until he was old and watch Zhao Yan suffer.
"Dad, brother, how are you feeling today?"
He Shu handed over the fried chicken he bought: "I bought it for you. It's still hot."
When Zhao Yan saw it, he reached out to take it and placed the bag directly on his stomach. Zhao Qishui helped and watched him, fearing that he would press on the wound.
"Did you send Miaomiao on the plane?" Zhao Qishui handed He Shu another orange.
He Shu smiled and nodded, took the orange and sat down at the foot of the bed.
"He Shu, I heard from my dad that you have already bought the wedding house. Are you getting married next year?"
He Shu said yes, and Zhao Yan said with regret: "It's a pity that I can't attend your wedding."
"Haha, Brother Zhao Yan, I'll send you wedding candy when the time comes."
"Oh..." Zhao Yan sighed. He tried many times and wanted He Shu and others to help him get out of prison.
He Shu knew what he was thinking, but there was nothing he could do.
The court is currently reviewing the case, and it is estimated that the result of Zhao Yan’s sentence reduction will be announced before the new year.
"Brother, you should learn some more skills. Even if your sentence cannot be reduced, you will still have something to do when you are released from prison in the future."
He Shu advised: "Otherwise, you can take the academic qualification exam and start learning from the elementary school textbooks. I can spare time every month to teach you. You can study on your own during the rest of the year."
Zhao Yan ate some fried chicken and shook his head: "I'm not good at studying. I can't learn anything."
Zhao Qishui saw him shaking his head and felt really disappointed: "Your brother was able to learn it and will graduate immediately to get a doctorate. Why are you so stupid?"
Zhao Yan chuckled a few times and did not argue with Zhao Qishui.
"Then let's think about something else. It's really not easy to learn something that you are not interested in."
He Shu thought for a moment and asked Zhao Yan: "Do you still paint now?"
Zhao Yan glanced at Zhao Qishui and said, "Oh no, I won't paint anymore. There's no market for it."
Zhao Qishui didn't understand: "What market?"
Zhao Yan winked at He Shu, telling him not to tell Zhao Qishui.
He Shu couldn't help laughing, and kept his mouth shut without answering.
Zhao Qishui took a look and said: "Hey, you two still have a secret?"
After staying in the hospital for a while, He Shu wanted his godfather to go home and have a good rest while he would take care of him for a day.
But Zhao Qishui couldn't bear to let He Shu stay up late here. In a place like the hospital, it would be difficult to sleep well if he had to stay by the bedside at night.
Moreover, Zhao Yan is not the only inmate serving time on this floor. Some of them have deliberately injured themselves and are hospitalized. Anything can happen.
He Shu tried to persuade Zhao Qishui for a long time, but Zhao Qishui refused, so he had to go back first.
After He Shu left, Zhao Yan stopped eating. He asked Zhao Qishui to clean up and then gave him a towel to wipe his hands and mouth.
"Son, if you can get your sentence reduced this time, you'll be out in a few years. Be careful in there and don't cause trouble. Let's spend these few years in peace."
Zhao Yan licked his front teeth and said, "Yes, I know the ins and outs of prison better than you do."
Zhao Qishui snorted when he heard this, "You feel superior after being in jail?"
