Su Yue listened attentively to Wang Jingyi's words and quickly became proficient at it. Ping An also seemed to gradually adapt.
But his chubby little hands gripped the edge of the wooden basin tightly.
Fu Shen reached out and gently touched his small hand, a worried look on his face: "Is he scared?"
I've never seen him grab the edge of the basin before; this is the first time.
Wang Jingyi explained with a smile, "Ping An still remembers what happened this afternoon. But it's a good thing that he remembers. When he grows up a bit, he won't be like Uncle Yi Miao and Uncle Yi Jing, who bumped their heads and still didn't remember that they couldn't crawl over there."
Su Yue felt a pang of heartache and sadness when she heard Ping An remember what happened that afternoon. Then she heard Wang Jingyi say that having a good memory meant that if someone did something dangerous once, they wouldn't do it again.
After thinking it over carefully, she decided that it was better to remember than to keep climbing even after hitting her head.
With Wang Jingyi's meticulous guidance, Su Yue successfully helped Ping An finish her bath.
Wang Jingyi glanced at the time and, seeing that Yang Guohua would be home from get off work soon, stood up. "Yueyue, I'm going back to cook."
Su Yue looked puzzled and asked, "Aren't you and your godfather eating here with us?"
Wang Jingyi said with a friendly smile, "I've already cooked the rice at home. I can just stir-fry some vegetables when I get back and we can eat."
Su Yue said sincerely, "It's too much trouble to cook at both places. From now on, we might as well just eat here and go back."
Wang Jingyi smiled and said, "How can that be? If it were just me, I would definitely eat here, but your godfather can't, or people will gossip. Our meal is simple for the two of us, so don't worry about it being too much trouble."
After Wang Jingyi left, Su Yue looked at Fu Shen and said, "Godmother is overthinking things. What kind of relationship do we have? What gossip could others possibly spread?"
Fu Shen: "Besides the relationship of adopting godparents, there is also the relationship of superiors and subordinates."
Su Yue suddenly realized, "Godmother is worried that the gossip will be bad for you."
Fu Shen nodded, "It's okay to get together occasionally. If we eat together often, when it comes time for me and my peers in the army to compete for military ranks, people will inevitably use this as an excuse to say that the political commissar will definitely help me."
Su Yue was still a little confused. "What's the difference between getting together occasionally and having meals together often? In other people's eyes, it still means I'm connected to my godfather."
Fu Shen: "There's a huge difference."
Su Yue thought about it for a moment, but still felt there was no difference, so she pressed on, "What's the difference?"
Fu Shen analyzed, "Helping once and helping every time are two different things. If it's just once, the higher-ups can tell whether the political commissar actually helped or not. But if it's every time, then it's just spreading rumors. Even if it's not true, it still has a bad impact."
Su Yue sighed, "My godmother knows far more about these things than I do. Even though I was reborn, I still know very little about the intricacies involved."
When they first became godparents, she worried that getting involved with the political commissar of the military would have some impact on Fu Shen's career. She didn't expect that after so many experiences, the impact would still exist.
Fu Shen chuckled, "You had no contact with the military before your rebirth, so it's normal that you don't understand."
Su Yue suddenly thought of something and looked at him with worry in her eyes: "If one day, your military rank is so high that people ask you to vote for them, and some wives bring all sorts of delicious food to your door for the sake of their husbands, and I think it's just everyday communication and I accept it without understanding what they mean or telling you, and then the results come out and their husbands are not elected, am I indirectly causing you trouble?"
