Watching Mr. Zhuang leave the yard with three steps and three turns, Mrs. Song Wang shook her head speechlessly and pulled Bai Yunxi into the house, "How are you? Are you comfortable staying in the county?"
"It's not bad. I rent a small courtyard in the county temporarily and live quite comfortably."
Yun Xi chuckled lightly and didn't say much.
"Before coming back, Jie Geer asked me to send you a message, saying that everything is fine with him in the college, so that you don't worry about it. Don't worry, Jie Geer and Xiao Wu are studying together and taking care of each other, so don't worry."
Bai Yunxi knew that she cared about her son the most, so as soon as she opened her mouth, there was news about Song Jie.
Sure enough, when King Song heard this, his eyes suddenly turned into moons with laughter,
"As long as it's good, it will work."
The two sat and talked for a while, then Bai Yunxi got up and went home.
The next morning, Xie Yu came to the door with Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu.
Seeing Xie Yu appear in front of her, Bai Yunxi rubbed her eyes in shock.
"Shouldn't you be recovering at home? Why did you come to my house?"
Bai Yunxi looked him up and down, his face was rosy and his breath was even, but with the extent of his injuries, no matter how well-educated he was, he couldn't be so quick.
Xie Yu let her look at her and walked around in front of Baiyunxi with a smile.
"I'm not in serious trouble anymore. Aunt Bai left suddenly, why didn't you tell me a word? If I hadn't sent someone to Zaoshu Alley, I wouldn't have known you were back."
"You have just recovered from your serious injury. Please sit down in the room and talk."
Bai Yunxi let the person into the room and then gave him a disapproving look.
"I have been in the county for more than two months, and I should have come back a long time ago. You are injured, so I don't want to disturb you. I didn't let Wenyou go over and bother you, for fear of affecting your recovery."
After hearing Bai Yunxi's tone, Xie Yu couldn't help but sigh in her heart. There is indeed a difference between truly caring about someone and showing off.
His father's purpose of visiting him was impure and he felt guilty. Apart from exploring his bottom line, he showed no paternal affection at all.
Nothing can be compared, the more you compare, the sadder it becomes.
"I asked the doctor to check my body yesterday. The external injuries have basically healed, and the internal injuries will heal slowly. The doctor said that as long as you are careful, it will be fine. I didn't feel any bumps from the county to here."
"Then you have to be careful. After all, you haven't recovered yet. If something really happens, just send someone over to tell you. Why do you have to make this trip?"
Bai Yunxi gave her a disapproving look. This person seemed to have great fame on the surface, but privately he was just a pitiful child that no one cared about.
"Aunt Bai doesn't know. The doctor allowed me to go out, proving that my body can still bear it. I'm going to leave for Fucheng in a few days. Before leaving, I came here to say goodbye to Aunt Bai."
Listening to Xie Yu's explanation, Bai Yunxi could understand that instead of staying in the mansion and being bored, it would be better to go to the city in advance to recuperate and prepare for the exam.
Moreover, this boy's aunt is also a well-known figure in the city, and she cares about him very much. It is more comfortable to stay with relatives than at home.
"From the day I met you, I knew you were a capable person. Once you've made up your mind, go ahead and do it. What young people are not afraid of most is hard work, even if they fail. Only by daring to wrestle can you go further."
"Thank you Aunt Bai for your encouragement. I will work hard."
At least he had to prove to himself that his life in this world was not in vain.
"Before departure, I have an unkind request, please ask Aunt Bai to fulfill it?"
"If you have something to say, just say it. I won't refuse if I can do my best." Listening to Xie Yu's inquiry, Bai Yunxi spoke without thinking. She knew this person well and would not make excessive demands.
Xie Yu looked at Baiyunxi, stood up directly, and bowed to Baiyunxi to the ground.
"Aunt Bai, do you still remember what I said in the hospital? I said you are like my mother. After I met you, I have always been envious of you teaching my fifth brother and the others. All mothers in the world should be like Aunt Bai.
Love your children sincerely, teach them carefully, reward them when they are right, and punish them when they are wrong.”
"When I saw it, I felt jealous in my heart. I used to be a little embarrassed. I have experienced life and death, and face and other things are no longer insignificant to me."
Bai Yunxi listened and blinked. It wasn't what she thought, was it?
She already has enough children in her name, there is really no need for one more. An extra child brings an extra layer of care, an extra responsibility, and an extra worry.
Xie Yu looked at Bai Yunxi in a daze, lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground, cupping his hands.
"I want to recognize Aunt Bai as my godmother. Please don't turn Xie Yu away because of the stupidity of this younger generation."
As soon as these words came out, except for Bai Yunxi who was still calm, the others couldn't help but cover their mouths in shock and looked at Xie Yu in disbelief. Although they had known each other for a long time, they were even more surprised because of this.
No matter what, this is also the son of the county magistrate, and now he runs to their house to claim his godmother?
Does this kid look like someone who is missing a mother?
As long as he opens his mouth, there will be a lot of people waiting to be his mother.
Listening to the voices of the Li family members, Bai Yunxi almost couldn't hold it back, but when she thought about it, it really made sense.
Xie Yu recognized her as his godmother, which was beneficial to the Bai family, and the boy wanted to repay her.
After all, so far, the Bai family has not reached the point where everyone recognizes them. In the eyes of some people, they are just small landowners in the countryside.
She doesn't want to take shortcuts when it comes to teaching her son. She just wants to take every step steadily and witness the changes in the family with her children. Only by fully participating physically and mentally can they cherish their future days more.
Changes are too fast, and it is easy for people to lose direction and drift away.
Anyway, her goal is to reform the naughty child. When she doesn't have to worry about food and drink, she is willing to walk slower, be more salty, and only give a push at the critical moment.
Let them witness the whole change process with their own eyes, so that they will be alert and not make mistakes in the future, which will be beneficial to the quality of her later life.
Besides, they are from a serious and humble family, not hidden royal relatives or clan orphans. Every step they take is a qualitative leap.
Although she is an outsider and knows a lot, she does not want to tire herself to death. If she wants to change, she can guide the children to work hard, but she will not help them do it on their behalf.
Bai Yunxi looked at Xie Yu silently, only to find that there was some nervousness and uneasiness hidden in his eyes, as if he was afraid that she would reject him outright.
She has such a low self-confidence even though her identity is there. This is such a lack of maternal love.
And the headstrong county magistrate, if he knew that his son recognized a country woman as his godmother, how could he easily agree?
If it makes me unhappy, won't it just cause trouble?
"Aunt Bai, aren't you willing? Or is this junior too stupid to catch your eye?"
Xie Yu looked at Baiyun Xi, the light in his eyes dimming a little.
Is it because he is too greedy? Is he putting Aunt Bai in trouble?
A person with a shallow family relationship like him may not be qualified to force these family relationships that do not belong to him.
