Chapter 431: For the New Year...
It’s the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year is two days away.
Zhao Yan had been in the hospital for a week after being injured. After the stitches were removed, the prison guards were going to take him back.
He Shu came over whenever . He also understood that his godfather really wanted to spend the New Year with Brother Zhao Yan, even if it was in the hospital.
The prison guard informed Zhao Yan that he would be escorted back after receiving the injection in the afternoon.
Zhao Qishui and Zhao Yan were both silent, which made He Shu feel very uncomfortable.
He couldn't help but leave the ward and walk a little further away. He called his uncle to ask him if he could let Zhao Yan go back after the Spring Festival.
Just when He Shu was leaving the ward, Zhao Yan said he wanted to defecate.
"I'll get you a basin." Zhao Qishui bent down and prepared to get it when he heard it.
"What basin? I'm going to the toilet. I'm almost done. It's not like I can't move."
Zhao Yan covered the wound with his hands and put on his shoes and went downstairs: "I will have another IV drip later, I will move around."
Zhao Qishui didn't think much about it and helped him go to the toilet.
After going out the door, the prison guard questioned Zhao Yan and followed Zhao Qishui to watch him go to the toilet.
Zhao Yan entered the cell and closed the door, while Zhao Qishui and the prison guard waited outside.
At this time, He Shu had also finished his call. His uncle said that he would ask someone to tell him. In fact, it would only take a few more days and was not a big problem.
Just as I was about to tell my godfather the good news, I heard a scream coming from the toilet in the corridor.
Immediately afterwards, another prison guard who was guarding Zhao Yan also rushed over to the ward door.
He Shu hurried to the door of the ward, and was shocked to see that his godfather and Zhao Yan were not in the ward.
He hurried to the toilet and saw Zhao Yan being carried out. He was still screaming and seemed to be in great pain.
The wound that had begun to heal was covered in blood, staining the hospital gown red, and his own hands were also covered in blood.
…
In order to avoid going back to prison, Zhao Yan was able to stay in the hospital for a few more days.
Under the pretext of going to the toilet, he opened the wound that had already healed.
This time, another surgery is needed to suture the wound and we also have to observe whether there will be infection.
He definitely can’t go back for the New Year, and that’s Zhao Yan’s purpose.
However, He Shu didn't expect that he would be so cruel to himself for this purpose...?
While Zhao Yan was stitching inside, He Shu saw that although his godfather Zhao Qishui had no expression on his face, his hands hanging by his side were shaking.
He Shu could understand his feelings and walked over to comfort him: "Dad, it's okay. I have already talked to my uncle about this matter. Brother Zhao Yan will not be punished ."
Zhao Qishui nodded silently, feeling very guilty. He knew that if he hadn't shown his reluctance, he would have wanted to spend the New Year with Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan might not do such an extreme thing. Zhao Qishui felt extremely heartbroken.
He Shu also sighed, saying that Brother Zhao Yan was too anxious.
However, He Shu was also a little worried. Zhao Yan's ruthlessness was too scary.
The key point is that his cruelty would be revealed because of a trivial matter, but he just wanted to delay for two days.
There were obviously more ways, but he chose the bloodiest one.
This made He Shu unable to understand his thinking. Perhaps, people like Zhao Yan who have been serving long sentences in prison have different thinking from ordinary people.
It was like he had only been in there for a few months, and after he was released he still felt like he couldn't adapt for a while.
No matter what, the thing has happened and it needs to be resolved.
My uncle went to negotiate with the prison, and then the hospital issued a diagnosis certificate.
Zhao Yan got his wish and could stay in the hospital and celebrate the New Year with Zhao Qishui.
But Zhao Qishui will never be happy this New Year...
On New Year's Eve, my aunt Zhu Yu made a lot of dumplings and filled several lunch boxes.
I also packed all kinds of delicious dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner, and the lunch boxes on the dining table were piled high.
He Shu planned to first deliver the New Year's Eve dinner to his godfather and Zhao Yan, and then come back to eat.
Aunt Qi Xue needed a rare rest and couldn't stay at home, so she went with He Shu.
When they arrived at the hospital, Zhao Yan was playing with Zhao Qishui's cell phone, which he had no chance to touch in prison.
In addition, he has been in prison for many years and has not kept up with the development of the times. Faced with increasingly smart mobile phones, he simply can't put them down.
When Zhao Qishui saw Qi Xue coming, he quickly stood up to greet her, feeling very embarrassed.
Zhao Yan moved his eyes away from the phone and looked at Qi Xue.
He had met Qi Xue. When he first transferred from Nanzhan to Dadu, Qi Xue had given him clothes.
"Auntie, Happy New Year!"
Zhao Yan greeted Qi Xue in a familiar manner and followed He Shu's call.
Qi Xue curled her lips: "Happy New Year, how is your injury?"
"It's just a minor injury, it's okay."
"That's good, take good care of him and don't let your dad worry."
Qi Xue had heard from her elder brother about Zhao Yan. She had seen many people like Zhao Yan.
If he can change for the better in the future, he can be considered a prodigal son who has returned. But I am afraid that the habits he developed in prison cannot be changed, and he will get into trouble sooner or later.
The Qi family knew very well about the relationship between Zhao Qishui and He Shu that He Shu would not ignore them in the future.
So Qi Xue certainly hoped that Zhao Yan could change for the better. She took Zhao Qishui out and had a brief chat with him.
He Shu had already brought out the food in the ward and was opening the boxes one by one.
"So many dishes? It's really rich."
Zhao Yan stared at the dishes and kept looking at them: "I've never eaten so many dishes in one meal. He Shu, let me tell you, your northern dishes are really delicious..."
Zhao Yan's words made He Shu and Zhao Qishui, who had just entered the room, feel a little sad.
"Brother, after the New Year, go back and reform yourself. When you get out in the future, you can eat whatever you want."
Zhao Yan understood what He Shu meant, and he couldn't wait to reach out and grab a dumpling and put it in his mouth.
"Don't worry, I just want to spend the New Year with my dad. I won't cause any more trouble."
Hearing him say this, He Shu knew that Zhao Yan knew what was going on, and felt a little relieved.
"Dad, brother, take your time eating. My aunt and I will go back first. I will come over tomorrow."
Zhao Qishui saw them off to the door and said, "Don't come over tomorrow. Take advantage of the New Year and have a good rest at home."
"It's okay, Dad, don't come out. By the way, my aunt packed several servings of dumplings. Ask the prison guards outside to come in and eat some."
Zhao Qishui nodded to show that he understood. It's the New Year, and it's not easy for everyone. Others are taking a holiday to reunite at home.
But the prison guards on duty still have to watch over them in the hospital...
He Shu and his aunt returned home, and the Qi family’s New Year’s Eve dinner began.
The whole family gathered together. Before dinner, grandpa brought He Shu and served some dumplings to the deceased relatives in the small hall, and placed some fruits on the altar.
The Qi family does not usually burn incense, but they often place some of the food that the children liked to eat when they were alive to comfort their memory.
My uncle and aunt were outside and didn't come in. My aunt leaned against the door frame and watched quietly. He Shu took a small plate, picked up two dumplings and placed them in front of Qi Guangxing's photo.
"Brother, Happy New Year, it's time to eat dumplings... leeks and shrimps, my aunt made them especially for you..."
After putting the dumplings away, He Shu took out two candies and placed them next to them.
Turning his head and seeing his grandfather looking at him, He Shu smiled and said loudly: "Grandpa, let's go eat dumplings too?"
My grandfather is now seriously deaf, and I don’t know if he heard clearly what He Shu said.
He just stretched out his hand, and He Shuli immediately helped him up and helped grandpa out of the small hall.
The sound of firecrackers rang out outside, and the countdown to the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala began on TV.
Thousands of lights are on, the whole country is reunited, and it is a brand new year...
