After Lin Youxi stayed at Mei Fang's house for a while, Mei Lijun and Xiang Xiaoxia came back from shopping.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Mei Lijun took a leave and came back from Baizhou City to be with his family. After Mei Fang told his parents about Lin Youxi's situation, he expressed his desire to let Lin Youxi stay at home overnight. The couple expressed their strong support without saying a word.
"Youxi, you can stay at our house as long as you want. Our house may not be big, but it is definitely warm."
"You always said the house was big."
"Now the children have all grown up, right? And Xiaoya, right? Hey, where is Xiaoya?"
"She was playing at Yuanyuan's house, and I forgot to pick her up."
Xiang Xiaoxia was immediately annoyed when she heard this, "Why did she go to Yuanyuan's house to play? Did she finish her homework? What's wrong with you as a brother... I asked you to urge Xiaoya to study hard."
"Your daughter is so naughty, there's no way I can supervise her."
"Hey, look at what your brother has done. You have no sense of responsibility at all."
Xiang Xiaoxia criticized Mei Fang a few words, and seeing that Lin Youxi seemed a little embarrassed, she walked over and patted Lin Youxi's shoulder to comfort her.
"Don't worry, Youxi. We are familiar with Lao Lin. He wants to find a new mother for your own good. You are a sensible child. Think about it carefully. After all, it has not been easy for your father over the years..."
Adults’ consolation and advice are mostly based on factual theories. This condescending attitude often makes it easy to ignore the purest feelings in children’s hearts. This is also the argument that Mei Fang particularly opposed when comforting Lin Youxi.
Of course, this is a problem that can only be discovered with the dual BUFF bonus of Mei Fang's child identity and adult mentality. Fortunately, Lin Youxi has been coaxed by Mei Fang now, and her knot has almost been untied. Xiang Xiaoxia's comfort did not cause her disgust, and she also echoed it.
"I'll think it over carefully... If Dad really likes that auntie and she can lighten Dad's burden, I'm willing to try to get along with her."
"Huh... our You Xi is such a good kid."
Xiang Xiaoxia put her arm around Youxi's shoulders. She loved this child who was like her goddaughter so much.
"However, if that aunt treats you badly, or you are unhappy at home, you are always welcome in our home."
"Yeah, thank you Aunt May."
Lin Youxi's eyes were full of gratitude.
During the nearly ten years of childhood when she lost her mother's company, Xiang Xiaoxia, who had always been gentle and kind to her, could indeed be called half a mother to Lin Youxi.
"Mom, how are we going to sleep tonight?"
Mei Fang's home is a common 110-square-meter three-bedroom apartment with a master bedroom, a second bedroom and a study. Normally, Mei Fang sleeps in her own room, while Mei Ya and her mother sleep in the master bedroom. Recently, when her father came back, the three of them slept in the master bedroom, and Mei Fang slept alone.
"Then it must be Xiaoya and Youxi sleeping in your room together, if it's you then—"
"Why don't you just let Mei Fang sleep in the living room? I bought this sofa two years ago. It's very comfortable."
"No need, Auntie... I, I can just sleep on the sofa." Lin Youxi quickly gave in.
"You kid... what nonsense are you talking about? It's so cold, how can I let you sleep in the living room?"
Mei Fang tilted his head with a puzzled expression, "So I can stand the cold, right?"
"You're a boy, why are you arguing with a girl? I can just get you two more blankets."
At this time, Mei Lijun also interrupted: "That is to say, Mei Fang, you have been with Yuanyuan Youxi for a long time and I always feel that you are too feminine. You are not like a good man in our Mei family at all. You need to be more masculine. What's the big deal about being cold? When Dad was your age, he was still outside in the middle of winter, chopping wood with his bare chest, and he was in great shape!"
"Why are you still at home? Go pick up Xiaoya and go buy some groceries!"
"Ah, we just came back from shopping, we are so tired, can you let me drink some water..."
Mei Fang crossed his arms and looked very arrogant. "I usually go shopping with Yuanyuan Youxi. I don't know how many things I can carry without feeling tired. You usually sit in the office and have a good time, but you get so tired just by accompanying your mother shopping. You really have no masculinity at all."
"How dare you say that! How dare you say that!"
Xiang Xiaoxia twisted Mei Fang's head fiercely while talking, "You were so attentive when you went shopping with Yuanyuan Youxi, but you were so tired just carrying a basket when you went shopping with your mother. You really can't raise a son like you."
"Stop hitting me, mom. Youxi is watching me. I have no shame!"
Mei Fang held his head and ran away. In such a loving and humorous family, Lin Youxi, who was sitting nearby, finally released all the pressure and laughed out loud. All the eyes of the Mei family fell on Lin Youxi.
This child... This is probably the first time I've seen her smile so happily in all these years.
Mei Lijun brought Xiaoya back from Xia Yuan's house. It turned out that the crazy girl had fallen asleep at Xia Yuan's house. Lin Youxi accompanied Mei Fang to look at the code for the web page.
Learning golang is quite difficult for Mei Fang, who became a programmer lately. However, Lin Youxi's learning progress is much faster than him. In his previous life, Mei Fang's exposure to code was actually limited to understanding. The difference in code between him and Lin Youxi is only that he started learning programming three years earlier.
However, since Lin Youxi became interested in Java and gradually gained a deeper understanding of the various codes that Mei Fang knew, and after studying Mei Fang's various teaching materials, her progress has been very fast, and she has already shown signs of surpassing her teacher Mei Fang.
"I have been looking for this bug for so long and couldn't find what's wrong with it, but you found it right away."
"That's why it's so important to write comments. If you don't even remember to add a comment here and forget to delete the loop statement at the beginning, the problem log will be full of repeated stacks of bugs in this step."
“This is very troublesome to do… When the tool is updated in the future, it would be great if there is a way to quickly add annotations.”
"If you are not used to it, I will do this part of the module... You can go and see how to load the flash player module into the web page."
"no problem."
Lin Youxi then asked, "Ah Fang, Ah Fang, if this website is built later, have you thought about what to name it?"
"This..."
"Now that there is an A-station in China, how about we call it C-station?"
"C Station? Why not call it B Station?"
"Because the English letter C sounds very similar to the "Xi" in your name, do you think it would be more memorable to call it C (Xi) Station?"
Lin Youxi was a little embarrassed. "This is the website you guided me to make. It should be called M Station."
"M no!"
"Why not?"
"M is just... just weird, it doesn't sound like Mei!"
"Forehead… "
Lin Youxi did not continue to refute.
Station C
Looking at the website backend module which was still a mess on the computer screen, Lin Youxi became thoughtful.
