One day in mid-May, Bai Yajing went home after get off work.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.
She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, making sure she wasn't seeing things. Overwhelmed with joy, she put the bicycle down and ran over to hug the somewhat slender figure.
"Godmother! I miss you so much!" Her nose tingled, and she felt inexplicably about to cry.
Xu Wei's eyes also reddened, and she raised her hand to pat her hand, "Ya Jing, my Ya Jing, Mom misses you too..."
“I have received every letter you wrote, and I have made good use of every package you sent.”
You silly child, think more about yourself during such a difficult time. Your godmother over there has everything you need.
Bai Yajing choked back tears and leaned on her shoulder.
"What's available there is available there too. What I'm giving is my filial piety, letting my godmother know that I've always been waiting for you at home..."
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cuddled for a while.
Grandpa and Grandma came out to call for help.
"What are you two doing in the yard? Aren't you hot? Come in, I've made you some soup!"
Grandpa whispered mysteriously, "Today, Old Man Bai and I caught a turtle in the pond to the east! That wild creature is incredibly nutritious!"
Awei is too thin, she needs to eat more! Nannan, you too, you're so busy with work every day, drink more soup.
Upon hearing about turtle soup, Bai Yajing's eyes lit up, and her mouth watered. This was a rare delicacy!
"Slurp~ This is good stuff! It's a really nourishing soup made with the herbs Grandma added. Godmother, let's go! Grandpa, Grandma, Grandpa, the whole family should drink it!"
Bai Yajing grabbed a few elders and left.
"Haha, good, drink it all!"
"That turtle is big enough; our whole family can drink from it..."
Grandpa Bai had just finished serving the soup when he saw that the whole family had arrived, so he quickly invited them over to drink some.
Bai Yajing sipped her soup with relish, ate a bowl of rice, and rubbed her full stomach, feeling extremely happy.
"Godmother, your room is all ready. Get some rest early tonight. I have tomorrow off, so I'll take you shopping and buy you some new clothes!"
Xu Wei originally wanted to refuse, but then she thought that she hadn't prepared gifts for her two little grandchildren yet, and decided to go shopping tomorrow to buy some things for the children.
"Okay, let's go together tomorrow. Let's buy some clothes for Mom and Dad, and Uncle Bai's two little ones too."
Upon hearing this, the maternal grandparents and Grandpa Bai quickly waved their hands and refused, saying, "Oh, it's fine to buy it for you and the child. When the seasons changed, our daughter just bought us new fabric and made us new clothes."
Grandma smiled and pulled Xu Wei away, saying, "Mom made you two soft cotton clothes so you can wear them to bed. You've had a long day. The hot water is ready, so take a bath and get some sleep."
Xu Wei felt a warmth in her heart. "Okay, thank you, Mom."
The family slept soundly through the night.
The next morning, Bai Yajing rode her bicycle to the city with her godmother.
Upon their arrival, Xu Wei didn't rush to go shopping but instead took her to the guesthouse first.
"It was inconvenient for my bodyguard to stay at our house, so I let him stay at the guesthouse."
It's fine if I live in the Ministry of State Security's residential compound, but when we're out shopping, there are so many people coming and going, we need him to come along.
Bai Yajing understood immediately. Her godmother's current status was unusual, and she needed someone to protect her to prevent her from being kidnapped or killed.
"good."
Bai Yajing sat quietly in the lobby and waited, without following them.
When I looked up at the noise, I saw a tall, upright man with a stern face and deep eyes following behind my godmother.
Bai Yajing quickly stood up and went over to greet him.
She raised her right hand to shake his hand. "Hello, comrade. I am Bai Yajing, Xu Wei's daughter. I am very grateful to you for escorting my mother back this time."
The man opposite her glanced at her discreetly and politely extended his hand to shake hers.
