When Ni Yang arrived at Aunt Wang’s house, Yang Guobao was playing in the mud by the door with his cousins, Wang Yuanzhi and Wang Xiaoqin.

Aunt Wang was chatting with Wang Meifeng at the entrance.

Seeing Ni Yang coming, Wang Meifeng and Aunt Wang immediately greeted her with a smile, “Yangyang is here.”

“Auntie, Auntie Wang, I’ve come to return the basket.”

Aunt Wang smiled and said, “Just for returning a basket, you didn’t have to bring it yourself.” She then told Wang Meifeng, “Meifeng, quickly make some tea for Yangyang.”

Aunt Wang’s family now treat Ni Yang as if she were an honoured guest.

Yang Guobao used to get sick several times a week before, but now, almost a month had gone by without incident. If he could keep up the medication for another month, Yang Guobao would be completely cured.

All this was thanks to Ni Yang. Without her, Yang Guobao would not be the way he is now.

Wang Meifeng had more than once expressed her gratitude for not giving in to pressure back then and not listening to the Imperial Doctor, Doctor Wang’s words.

If she had shown even a little hesitation then, she would have perfectly missed the chance of Yang Guobao’s recovery.

Luckily!

Wang Meifeng turned and went inside to make tea for Ni Yang.

Ni Yang smiled and said, “Auntie, Auntie Wang, you don’t need to bother, I’m not thirsty, I just came to return the basket.”

“It’s okay if you’re not thirsty, let’s go inside and chat.” Aunt Wang led Ni Yang into the house.

Ni Yang couldn’t refuse Aunt Wang’s kindness and had no choice but to carry the basket and go with her into the house.

“Yangyang, sit, I’ll get you something good.” Aunt Wang pressed Ni Yang down into a chair and then went into the inner room.

At this point, Wang Meifeng also finished brewing the tea, “Yangyang, have some tea.”

Ni Yang stood up immediately and accepted the tea cup with both hands, “Thankyou, Auntie Wang.”

Wang Meifeng giggled, “Wiry are you being so formal? Sit down, sit down.”

After a while, Aunt Wang came out of the room with three honey tangerines and stuffed them into Ni Yang’s hands, “Yangyang, these are honey tangerines your uncle brought back from the city a few days ago. Try them and see if they’re sweet.”

The season for honey tangerines was not yet here. Off-season fruits were particularly expensive. Ni Yang had asked specifically when she was buying fruits before, and even a small honey tangerine sold for fifty cents a piece.

Three honey tangerines can be traded for almost half a kilo of pork. If it was anyone else, Aunt Wang would not have been able to bring out three at once! After all, when her own grandchildren ate them, they divided them up one segment at a time.

But this was Ni Yang!

As long as Ni Yang liked it, Aunt Wang would not be stingy, not even for ten.

Seeing Aunt Wang’s hopeful look, Ni Yang peeled a tangerine and sampled a segment, “It’s very sweet. Thank you, Auntie.”

Hearing this, Aunt Wang broke into a happy smile, “Stop being so formal with me! If you like them, I can get you more!”

Ni Yang immediately stopped Aunt Wang’s hand, “Auntie, no need to! I just wanted to try one, if you carry on like this, I won’t dare to visit next time.”

Only then did Aunt Wang stop.

After some casual chatting for a while, Ni Yang began to say goodbye.

Aunt Wang and Wang Meifeng walked Ni Yang to the door.

Ni Yang smiled and said, “Auntie, Auntie Wang, no need to see me out, you should go back inside.”

“Sister Ni Yang, I’ll walk you home!” Yang Guobao hopped to Ni Yang’s side, “Sister Ni Yang, I’m your flower guardian!”

Ni Yang patted Yang Guobao’s little head, “Thankyou then, Little Envoy Guobao.”

Yang Guobao bashfully ran ahead, “Sister Ni Yang, I’ll lead the way!”

Aunt Wang and Wang Meifeng didn’t go back until Ni Yang and Yang Guobao disappeared in front of the bamboo forest.

Just then, the excited voices of Wang Yuanzhi and Wang Xiaoqin could be heard from inside the house.

“Grandma, auntie! Are these the delicious treats that Sister Ni Yang just brought?”

The mother and daughter only found out when they went inside that the basket Ni Yang had just brought wasn’t empty, it was filled to the brim with delicious treats.

Seeing all the good food, the two children jumped for joy.

Aunt Wang picked up a piece of dried fruit, curiously asking, “What’s this?”

Wang Meifeng shook her head.

Wang Xiaoqin said: “It’s dried fruit, baked by Sister Ni Yang in the bread oven! Grandma, you have to taste it, it’s really good!”

WangYuanzhi added, “Yes, yes, it’s dried fruit!”

Aunt Wang asked out of curiosity, “Yuanzhi, Xiaoqin, how do you know this is dried fruit?”
