Xia Yunxi put him on the bed, and then she lay down on it as well. "Mommy is back. Come, let me tell you a story."

Li Jinchen then lay in her arms.

Ever since his mother brought him here, he had always slept with her. Li Jinchen had never imagined that one day he would be coaxed to sleep by his mother's arms. This feeling was warm and relatable, and Li Jinchen felt an unprecedented sense of security, embraced by a mother's love.

Because I have been thinking about finding a teacher for Jinchen.

The next morning, Xia Yunxi acted as if nothing had happened and was not affected at all by Xia Chenghai's affairs.

She specially made some pastries and brewed her own fruit wine.

Then she took Li Jinchen to go find Mr. Li again. She was a stubborn person and would not turn back until she hit the wall.

Mr. Li is in poor health, but in her opinion, such a once glorious figure really should not be buried deep in a small alley.

Furthermore, she was optimistic about her own Jinchen. This child just needed a teacher who could guide him, and Mr. Li was the most suitable candidate. She believed that in the future, Jinchen would go further and further and become more and more outstanding.

Although she had come many times and was turned away each time, Xia Yunxi was unyielding and still came with her child every few days.

Therefore, the old lady who opened the door did not block her like she did at the beginning.

He even became familiar with Xia Yunxi and gradually accepted the quiet Jinchen.

Even Mr. Li, who was lying in bed, would get out of bed to bask in the sun and exercise when the sun was good.

Although they are not used to having strangers visit, after a long time, having a little child come over every once in a while still makes the old couple look forward to it.

"When making wine from yellow peaches, the most unacceptable thing is that the alcohol content of the liquor is high. Next time you make wine, be careful and don't use sorghum liquor."

Sitting on the small stone table in the yard, Mr. Li was in good spirits, sipping the fruit wine that Xia Yunxi had brought and commenting on it.

"Thank you for your advice. I didn't expect that you, Mr. Li, also know how to make wine." Xia Yunxi said with a smile.

"That was all when I was young." Old Li shook his head.

"Do you know how this old guy pursued me when he was young?" The old lady said while picking leeks under the eaves.

"How did you chase him?" Xia Yunxi turned around and asked.

"We were poor at that time and ordinary people couldn't afford fruits. This old guy used apricots to make fruit wine to trick me." The old lady recalled the past with a slight smile on her old face.

Mr. Li shook his head in amusement: "It happened so long ago, and you still remember it."

"How can you not remember? You still owe me a formal proposal dinner." The old lady said angrily.

"Yeah, the debt hasn't been repaid yet." The old man sighed, then his eyes fell on Li Jinchen who was quietly helping the old lady pick leeks over there: "This child is good, it's amazing that you don't mind the trouble and always bring this child here."

"Mr. Li, are you ready to give in?" Xia Yunxi asked with a smile.

"What if not?" Mr. Li said unhappily.

"Oh, that's okay. I will come to bother you often in the future." Xia Yunxi smiled.

"You are just relying on me, old man!" Mr. Li didn't seem to be very angry, but just felt that after that incident, he quickly aged, but even in his old age, there were still people who remembered him.

Not following the crowd, not caring about the public's condemnation. Even Mr. Li was moved by such trust.

"In fact, Mr. Li, I believe you have noticed it over the years. Jinchen is a truly intelligent child. Outsiders only think he is autistic, but he is not. If he could perform in his area of ​​expertise, he would be much better than anyone else."

Mr. Li nodded and said, "You are right."

An ordinary five-year-old child probably can't even write Arabic numerals, but this child can even do arithmetic.

If he were still young, Mr. Li would have been so excited about discovering such a seed that he would not be able to sleep for days and nights.

But now...

"Oh!" He sighed. He no longer had the passion he had at the beginning.

"It's okay if you want me to teach this child, but not in the name of a teacher," said Mr. Li.

"But..." Xia Yunxi was about to speak when Mr. Li raised his hand to stop her.

"I understand your concerns. Not using the name of a teacher is for the good of the child."

"Are you worried that if people find out, Jinchen will be criticized because of you? Don't worry about that. I believe that strength can speak for itself." Xia Yunxi understood after thinking about it.

"That's one point. Another point is, when he enters the international competition, he can say he is my student again." Mr. Li said directly.

Xia Yunxi didn't understand what he meant by this arrangement: "But this is unfair to you."

Old Li turned his head, looked at her and asked with a smile, "Are you very confident in your child?"

"Jinchen is really smart." Xia Yunxi said in affirmation.

The old man didn't say anything, but stood up tremblingly and walked back into the house little by little.

The old lady had also picked the leeks: "Chenchen, be good and go play with your grandpa. Grandma will make dumplings for you today."

"Okay." Li Jinchen looked back at his mother, then ran off to find his grandfather.

"I'm not teaching under the name of a teacher because it's actually for Chenchen's own good. Besides, this is also what worries me the old man." The old lady took the opportunity to explain.

Xia Yunxi understood. She stepped forward and took the basket from the old lady. "Let me help you."

"Okay, okay."

Regardless of whether Xia Yunxi had a purpose or not, the old lady and the old man really liked Jinchen. In addition, Xia Yunxi was very down-to-earth and not arrogant or impatient. After coming more often, the old couple got used to the liveliness she brought.

So, just teach Jinchen, and the child will do well.

If the old man's dream could be fulfilled, it would not be in vain for the energy he spent in teaching Li Jinchen despite his poor health.

By the age of Mr. Li and the old lady, they have experienced the ups and downs of most of their lives. The only regret they have is that if it can be fulfilled, their life will not be in vain.

Some people don't understand urban construction.

It's already such a cold day, and after a night, there might even be frost the next day.

As a result, sprinkler trucks were spraying water on the road to reduce dust, which resulted in the road not drying in time. In some depressions, the accumulated water had already frozen.

Xia Yunxi held Li Jinchen's hand, and the mother and son walked on the side of the road. After returning from Mr. Li's place, Xia Yunxi did not take a taxi directly back to the apartment. She and Jinchen went to the supermarket together.

For her and Li Jinchen, successfully getting Mr. Li to agree to teach Li Jinchen this time was undoubtedly like overcoming a major problem.

There is a kind of situation where you do something for a long time, and you may not even get any reward, but you still don’t give up and persist in it, and then this thing really gives you considerable rewards.
