Chapter 526: Five hundred twenty-five, in harmonious joy
Yang Lisheng and Li Meixiang stood at the entrance of the village, continually looking out. Xiao Ning had called to say she would be coming home 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 Meixiang from a distance and walked briskly towards them. Qin Yushen didn’t accompany her home this time; he also had some 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 medical exchange conference had made him truly proud. She had brought traditional Chinese medicine into the public eye, letting the world see its breadth and depth. He believed that before long, traditional Chinese medicine 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 home. This was the last time 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 Meixiang said. The previous night, she had steamed 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 Meixiang 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 time 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.
