Chapter 490: Fulfilling a Childhood Dream
But deep down she still believed that Bai Zhi was just too embarrassed to refuse her mother's kindness.
Once the shoes are made, whether she wears them or not is up to her.
"Aunt Mu, may I make a request?" Bai Zhi looked at him, chuckled, and looked at him expectantly. "Please don't make me cotton shoes anymore, I won't be able to wear them after the New Year. Make me a pair of cloth shoes, and I want a little daisy embroidered on them."
When she was little, the neighbor's daughter's mother was very capable. She would always embroider a little daisy on the cloth shoes she made for her daughter, which she always envied.
Back then, she dreamed of owning a pair of those cloth shoes.
Unfortunately, it hasn't come to fruition yet.
Since Aunt Mu was going to make her shoes, she decided to shamelessly ask for them.
It can be considered as fulfilling a childhood dream.
Mu Qin had a feeling that Bai Zhi might dislike the cloth shoes she made.
This is just because they feel embarrassed and can't refuse.
Hearing that Bai Zhi had made such a specific request, she was overjoyed. "No problem, no problem at all. I will embroider a little daisy for you."
Muqin added happily, "Next spring, I'll knit you another vest."
Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Aunt Mu, there's no need to trouble yourself. I'm already very happy that you made me shoes. There's really no need for anything else. Please take good care of your health and don't overwork yourself."
"Dr. Bai, you're leaving now. Will you be back after the New Year?" Mu Qin thought that she would finish making the shoes after the New Year and wait for Bai Zhi to come back before giving them to her.
Bai Zhi said, "I'm not sure yet, but I'll definitely make time to go home."
"good."
Muqin's treatment was over. She had to go to Jishengtang to get medicine after she left. Fearing that Jishengtang would close if it got too late, the mother and daughter did not linger and said goodbye to Baizhi before leaving.
Before leaving, Gu Xiaoyue turned back and glanced at Bai Zhi.
She wore a simple ponytail and a beige cotton coat.
She was dressed simply, yet she was poised and elegant.
Her skin was so white it glowed, and her whole person seemed to radiate light.
Gu Xiaoyue felt somewhat ashamed when she thought about the thoughts that had just crossed her mind.
Even someone as successful and outstanding as Dr. Bai doesn't look down on the cloth shoes her mother made.
They even seemed quite excited.
However, driven by vanity, she judged others based on her own assumptions.
Think of Bai Zhi, a girl from the countryside who, through her own efforts, found love and earned everyone's respect through her abilities.
She should learn from her.
Instead of spending all day studying and observing what other female classmates are wearing and what cosmetics they are using.
Right now, the most important thing is to improve my dance skills.
As long as she is good enough, she can still shine on stage even if she dances in cloth shoes.
Once Gu Xiaoyue thought of this, she was no longer confused.
I felt completely relaxed.
I've found the direction to strive for.
She looked at Bai Zhi and suddenly said, "Dr. Bai, may I hug you?"
"Hmm?" Bai Zhi looked surprised by Gu Xiaoyue's request.
Gu Xiaoyue said sincerely, "I want to hug you. From now on, you will be my idol and my role model. I want to learn from you."
I not only learned from her positive attitude towards life, but also her enthusiasm and hard work.
Most importantly, we should learn from her calm and composed mindset, remaining neither arrogant nor humble, and unfazed by honor or disgrace.
Bai Zhi couldn't understand why Gu Xiaoyue suddenly had such feelings. She smiled and accepted Gu Xiaoyue's hug.
Xie Zheng stared at the two girls embracing each other as if he had seen a ghost.
What's Gu Xiaoyue up to today?
However, it's excellent that she can take Angelica dahurica as a role model.
Bai Zhi saw them off, but Xie Zheng insisted on accompanying Mu Qin to Jishengtang to get medicine.
He wanted to pay for Muqin's medicine.
He could tell that Aunt Mu was struggling financially.
Mu Qin initially wanted to refuse Xie Zheng's offer to accompany her, but Xie Zheng resolutely led her forward with trembling hands, so Mu Qin let him go.
After seeing them off, Bai Zhi went back to her room. Ye Tiandong heard the patient and his family leave, so he went out of the room and into the living room.
Bai Zhi asked him, "Uncle, are you tired? What are we having for dinner?"
"Not hungry yet." Ye Tiandong sat there, somewhat bored. "Why are you seeing patients today? Don't you have anything else to do?"
Bai Zhi shrugged. "No, I have nothing to do."
"Is all the luggage packed?" Ye Tiandong asked.
"There's nothing in it, just a few clothes."
Just as they were talking, the Lu family called, asking Bai Zhi to come home for the night.
I'll go directly from home to the train station tomorrow morning.
Bai Zhi glanced at Ye Tiandong, intending to refuse, but Ye Tiandong spoke up from the side, "I have things to do tonight, so I'll feel at ease if you go back home to stay."
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Zhi took out a set of keys from the drawer and handed them over, "Uncle, take the keys to my grandfather's yard."
Ye Tiandong glanced at it but didn't take it. "What would I do with it? I'm going back to Bincheng in a few days. I can't exactly take it home."
Bai Zhi explained, "I don't have time. Before you leave, go for a walk in the yard and see if everything in the house is alright. Also, the 24th of the twelfth lunar month is the day for cleaning the house. Even if you don't do a thorough cleaning, you should at least do a symbolic cleaning for good luck. I just don't have time, so you'll have to do it."
"Give the keys to your in-laws and let them handle it," Ye Tiandong said, his eyes gleaming as he tried to stall.
Bai Zhi rolled her eyes in anger and tried to reason with him, "First of all, they are very busy. Secondly, no matter what, you are my maternal grandfather's son. You stay in Nancheng, but I give the keys to other people. What will they think of our family? What will they think of you as their son?"
Bai Zhi's words left Ye Tiandong speechless.
There's no excuse I can find anymore.
Yes, no matter how deep their conflict was, in the eyes of outsiders, he was always that person's son.
This is a relationship you can't escape for the rest of your life.
Moreover, now...
"Okay, give it to me." In the end, Ye Tiandong took the key.
Bai Zhi was very satisfied with his performance, saying, "That's right."
He put the keys in his pocket and said to Bai Zhi, "Go home early, I'm going to rest for a bit, I have something to do later."
Bai Zhi asked curiously, "What's going on so late at night? You don't need to look at renovations at night, do you?"
Ye Tiandong said with an arrogant look, "I'm very busy as the boss, okay? Someone's treating me to dinner tonight."
Upon hearing about the dinner party, Bai Zhi instructed, "Oh, then drink less alcohol tonight, come back to bed early after dinner, and I won't bother you anymore."
"Let's go." Ye Tiandong waved his hand, then went back inside to continue lying down.
Bai Zhi went straight back to her room, picked up her luggage, and planned to return to the Lu family home.
There's nothing in her house that needs tidying up. After she leaves, her parents-in-law will come over regularly to clean.
After Bai Zhi left, Ye Tiandong took out his mobile phone and made a call, "Boss Lu, didn't we say we'd have dinner together? Let's do it tonight."
