In the afternoon, Wang Yishan refused to accompany Shen Xiaobei to Teacher Guan's house again, saying that she had nothing to do there and would feel uncomfortable staying there, so she asked her to go alone in the future.
The fabrics that Shen Xiaobei had cut had not yet been made into ready-made clothes, so he had to bite the bullet and go alone.
When she arrived at the door of Commander Guan's house, she hesitated a little. She looked around and found that no one was passing by, so she felt a little relieved.
Then he politely knocked on the door and called out, "Teacher Lin!"
"Hey, Xiao Shen is here, come in quickly!"
"Teacher Lin, did I disturb your rest?"
"No, no, I just woke up from a nap and you came."
"Oh, that's good. I'm sorry if I disturbed your rest!"
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, Xiao Shen. Teacher Lin likes you very much. Come to my place in the future and treat it as your own home. There's no need to be restrained! By the way, Xiao Shen, if Deputy Battalion Commander Duan is free next time, bring him over here to sit with you."
"Okay, Mr. Lin, if he's free, I'll definitely bring him over to visit you!"
Lin Aili chatted with Shen Xiaobei for a while, then took her into the room, sat her in front of the sewing machine, and let her start working.
She took a chair and sat next to her, saying she wanted to help her.
How could Shen Xiaobei dare to trouble the teacher's wife to help her? She quickly stood up to refuse, but Lin Aili was happy to help her.
While helping Shen Xiaobei, she smiled and told her: "Xiao Shen, Teacher Lin has no daughter, but gave birth to two sons. The elder one got married this year, and the younger one got married a little earlier. But it's a pity that you have already married Deputy Battalion Commander Duan. Otherwise, I want you to be my daughter-in-law!"
"Teacher Lin, you flatter me too much. Haha, how could Xiaobei be so lucky to be your daughter-in-law?"
"Xiao Shen, don't say that. You are so well-educated, so beautiful and capable. Teacher Lin thinks you are a blessed girl. Deputy Battalion Commander Duan is so lucky!"
"Haha, thank you Teacher Lin for the compliment. I feel embarrassed by your praise. How can Xiaobei be as good as you say?"
"Yes, Teacher Lin is always right when judging people! That Captain Chen's wife comes from a poor family background, and you didn't even try to avoid her. This shows that you have a lot of potential."
"Teacher Lin, you also know that Shanshan's family background is not good?"
"Why, Xiao Shen, do you think that Teacher Lin is just a housewife and doesn't know anything about what's going on?"
"Teacher Lin, Xiaobei didn't mean that!"
Shen Xiaobei hurriedly explained.
"Haha, okay, Xiao Shen, don't be so nervous. Teacher Lin knows that's not what you mean! Xiao Shen, Teacher Lin doesn't have a daughter, and she gets along so well with you. She wants to adopt you as her goddaughter. Are you willing?"
"ah?"
"Why, are you scared silly, or happy silly, or unwilling?"
Seeing Shen Xiaobei so shocked, Lin Aili smiled and teased her.
"Teacher Lin, how could I be qualified to be your goddaughter? I wouldn't even dare to dream of it!"
"You don't dare to think about it in your dreams, so why don't you think about it now? Are you willing?"
"But, Teacher Lin, I have to tell you in advance that being my goddaughter is not a life of luxury. From now on, you'll have to come over often to chat with me, help me water the vegetable garden, and even help me make clothes. There's a lot to do! Don't you find it annoying?"
"Teacher Lin, are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious. Would Teacher Lin joke with you about something like this?"
"Just tell me, are you willing? If you are, call me godmother now. Tomorrow night, I will prepare some delicious dishes and invite you and Deputy Battalion Commander Duan to come over and have a formal dinner with us to recognize our relationship!"
Seeing that Lin Aili didn't look like she was joking, Shen Xiaobei was a little flattered, but more of it was fear and trepidation.
Just decline politely, as it would offend her as the teacher's wife.
Agree, Shen Xiaobei is also concerned about Duan Xichuan's thoughts. I wonder if he is willing to make this godparents? Will he think that she is making random connections and causing trouble for him? How will outsiders talk about them negatively?
"Xiao Shen, are you worried that your Deputy Battalion Commander Duan might have an opinion?"
"Haha, Teacher Lin, with such a big deal, I'm a little worried that Xichuan will think I...think I'm acting rashly..."
Shen Xiaobei gritted his teeth and expressed his feelings tactfully.
This matter was not a big deal for her personally, but for Duan Xichuan, she knew it was a big deal.
After all, Commander Guan is several levels higher than him.
It would not sound good if others thought that Duan Xichuan was instigating his wife to have a relationship with Lin Aili so that he could get promoted in the future.
"Xiao Shen, Teacher Lin understands your concerns. It shows that you have a sense of propriety and know how to respect and care for your husband."
"Don't worry, I can guarantee that my adoption of you as my goddaughter will neither cause any additional trouble nor bring any additional convenience to Deputy Battalion Commander Duan. Shouldn't you be relieved?"
Lin Aili is a perceptive woman and can see the concerns in Shen Xiaobei’s heart.
It was precisely because she could see what Shen Xiaobei was worried about that she admired her even more.
If it were another scheming or snobbish girl, she would definitely happily agree immediately when she heard that her teacher's wife said she wanted to adopt her as her goddaughter.
But Shen Xiaobei didn't.
Lin Aili knew that this showed that this girl was not someone who liked to curry favor with powerful people or was only interested in profit. Instead, it made her want to adopt her as her goddaughter even more.
