Chapter 526: Five hundred twenty-five, in harmonious joy
Yang Lisheng and Li ixiang stood at the entrance of the village, continually looking out. Xiao Ning had called to say she would be coming ho today, and they had been waiting for her here since early morning. They hadn’t seen her for several months and really missed her.
“Grandpa! Grandma!” Song Yan Ning saw Yang Lisheng and Li ixiang from a distance and walked briskly towards them. Qin Yushen didn’t accompany her ho this ti; he also had so matters to take care of.
“Tired?” Yang Lisheng reached out to take the small bag from Song Yan Ning’s hand. Xiao Ning’s performance at the dical exchange conference had made him truly proud. She had brought traditional Chinese dicine into the public eye, letting the world see its breadth and depth. He believed that before long, traditional Chinese dicine would shine brightly on the world stage.
“Not tired.” A hint of reluctance flickered in Song Yan Ning’s eyes as she took an arm of each and walked with them towards ho. This was the last ti she would be this close to her grandparents; perhaps she would never see them again.
“Grandma made your favorite red bean cake, it’s still warm in the pot, ready to eat when we get back,” Li ixiang said. The previous night, she had stead the cake and this morning, she had made sure to keep it warm in the pot so Xiao Ning could eat it as soon as she returned.
Song Yan Ning smiled and nodded, “Grandma’s red bean cake is the tastiest, just hearing about it makes my mouth water.”
“You little glutton,” Li ixiang laughed happily. Xiao Ning’s return made her feel like the house was lively again. She wished Xiao Ning could stay with them forever. But she also knew that was impossible, as Xiao Ning would have to marry one day.
Entering the yard, Song Yan Ning saw Xiang wielding a large broom sweeping the courtyard. Knowing that Xiang was looking after her grandparents reassured her.
Xiang quickly approached Song Yan Ning upon seeing her; it had been a long ti since she had seen her mistress.
Song Yan Ning patted Xiang’s shoulder, “You’re doing well.” With Xiang around, a lot of worries were alleviated.
A hint of a smile appeared on Xiang’s always expressionless face. She liked it here, liked her mistress, and liked Mr. and Mrs. Yang.
Seeing the smile on Xiang’s face, Song Yan Ning knew that the elixir she provided had taken effect. Even though Xiang still wasn’t fond of talking, she now had her own thoughts.
“Xiao Ning, co and eat the cake,” Li ixiang said as she carried out a plate of red bean cake from the kitchen.
“Coming,” Song Yan Ning responded and, after washing her hands on the side, walked into the main room.
“Try it and see how it tastes,” Li ixiang sat beside Song Yan Ning, her face brimming with happiness.
“Mmm,” Song Yan Ning picked up a piece of red bean cake and put it in her mouth, “Delicious. Grandma’s red bean cake is the best I’ve ever had.”
“Flatterer,” Li ixiang teased, glimpsing at Song Yan Ning with a joy that was evident on her face.
Yang Lisheng ca out of the house with a chuckle, sitting on the other side of Song Yan Ning, “How long are you staying this ti?” Xiao Ning was still studying and couldn’t take too much ti off. Although he wished she wouldn’t leave, he knew that was impossible and they couldn’t delay Xiao Ning’s studies.
“A week,” Song Yan Ning swallowed the cake in her mouth.
“The final exams are coming up soon; it won’t cause any delay, right?” Yang Lisheng was sowhat worried. He knew Xiao Ning was smart, but high school was different from elentary and middle school, as it would influence which university Xiao Ning could attend in the future.
“I’m so smart, how could I let it affect my studies?” Song Yan Ning playfully winked at Yang Lisheng.
