"By the way, Grandma, if you can't open this can, you can just use scissors to gently pry it open along the edge," Wenxi instructed.

Grandma Sun chuckled, "Do you think I've never eaten canned food before? Of course I know how to open a can. But I still have to thank you. If it weren't for you, this old woman wouldn't be able to eat any of this."

The reason she didn't give these things to her son and daughter-in-law was because she knew in her heart that if she gave them to her son and daughter-in-law in exchange for them taking care of her in her old age, it would be impossible. They would definitely just take the things and then ignore her, just like now, thinking she was a burden and leaving her to live alone in the old house.

Fortunately, she had kept these things, which is why she is now living a life of comfort. Wenxi helped her change, saving her the trouble of changing herself. She is an old woman and not very fast, unlike the clever and convenient young people.

Wenxi asked Grandma Sun to put her things away, while she went into the room that Grandma Sun had arranged for her, took out a grass-green dress and changed into it. Then she sat in front of the dressing table, looked in the mirror, and braided a stylish braid for herself.

After all, I'm about to meet an 'elder,' so I need to dress neatly and appropriately to avoid being gossiped about and ruining her image.

After the rumors circulated for a long time, everyone just accepted that she was that kind of person.

Therefore, she absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.

After tidying herself up, Wenxi came out of the room. Seeing her refreshed appearance, Grandma Sun smiled kindly and said, "This little girl is really pretty."

"Grandma, I'm going out to run errands now. I'll come see you again next time." After saying goodbye to Grandma Sun, Wenxi picked up her basket and went out the door. However, as soon as Wenxi stepped out, she was stopped by the aunt next door.

"Young lady, what is your relationship with Granny Sun in this family?" The aunt looked at Wenxi with a questioning look in her eyes.

Whenever someone comes to visit Granny Sun, an enticing aroma soon wafts from her house. Why would someone who's practically on her deathbed eat so well? Isn't that a waste?

But every time the aroma wafted out, she would bring her grandson to knock on the door, hoping that Granny Sun would give her a bowl of meat for her grandson's sake. But Granny Sun would not open the door, knowing only that she wanted to eat alone.

Why does an old geezer need to eat so well?

That's why she stopped the girl today, wanting to find out if the girl was the one who delivered these things.

"What Granny Sun? This is my great-aunt. Is there a problem with me visiting my great-aunt?" Wenxi was very unhappy with the way the aunt looked at her.

Moreover, she is currently using her original form, and she doesn't want to trade with others openly. So she will trade outside the black market, not only in small quantities but also inconveniently. What if someone is jealous of her, buys something from her, and then reports her?

It's better to trade with the black market, especially in an open area. If the black market really does double-cross her, she can just abandon the goods and run. As long as she's alive, anything is possible.

But if she trades openly with others, and they see her face and know her name, they can easily catch her.

So after answering the question, Wenxi didn't give the aunt a chance to say a second word and immediately took a big step and ran away from the aunt.

Wen Xi walked to a deserted corner, moved the basket out, and then carried the basket towards the direction she had agreed to meet He Chen'an. It was during the morning rush hour, so the streets were crowded with people and bicycles.

Upon arriving at the location, they saw He Chen'an already standing there. Tall and imposing, he wore a crisp white shirt and black trousers, looking energetic and exuding a refined air.

Such a handsome, clean-cut, and charismatic man naturally attracts a lot of attention. Women walking by on the street, regardless of age, can't take their eyes off him. However, He Chen'an's cold face makes them afraid to approach him, let alone ask about his personal situation.

Upon seeing Wen Xi arrive, He Chen'an's face immediately broke into a bright smile. "Xiao Xi, you're here?"

"Am I not late?" Although it was still early and the sun wasn't particularly strong, Wenxi still felt her body getting hot as she walked.

“It’s not late. We agreed to meet at ten o’clock to have tea and chat for a while, and then go to the state-run restaurant for dinner.” He Chen’an said, taking the basket from Wen Xi’s hands.

Wen Xi avoided He Chen'an's hand, "I'll take it myself! This is my token of appreciation, and I can't let others think I'm being inconsiderate by coming to pay respects to my elders empty-handed."

He Chen'an wanted to say no, but considering he didn't know Dr. Wang very well, he didn't say anything and changed the subject, "Why don't you let me pick you up? That way you won't have to walk for so long."

"Are you stupid? If your 'master' sees you looking so haggard, what do you think he'll think of me? Will he say I'm being insensible?" Wen Xi rolled her eyes helplessly.

She didn't want to be put on airs by He Chen'an's 'master' and have him say that she was bad in this way or that way. Anyway, they weren't family, and after meeting this time, they might not see each other again, so she wanted to leave a good impression on him.

To avoid the hospital being filled with rumors about her and He Chen'an later.

Afterwards, He Chen'an took Wen Xi to the agreed teahouse. Unexpectedly, Dr. Wang was already sitting by the window on the second floor of the teahouse. A cool breeze blew in through the window, making it very refreshing.

Upon arriving opposite Dr. Wang, He Chen'an pulled out a chair for Wen Xi to sit down, and then sat down in the chair next to Wen Xi himself.

“Uncle Wang, this is my girlfriend, Wen Xi,” He Chen’an introduced, then looked at Wen Xi and said, “Xiao Xi, this is my mentor who took me into the hospital. You can just call him Uncle Wang.”

"Hello Uncle Wang, I am Wen Xi, Chen An's boyfriend. Thank you for raising Chen An to be so outstanding." Wen Xi greeted him with a smile, and then placed the exquisite basket on the table. "Uncle Wang, these are things I exchanged in the countryside. They are all ordinary mountain products. I hope you don't mind."

Most leaders would want their outstanding subordinates to become their sons-in-law, but Dr. Wang doesn't have a daughter, so he doesn't have that idea. However, when he heard that He Chen'an had a girlfriend without his consent, Dr. Wang felt uncomfortable. How could he let an outsider take the fruit of the young talent he had nurtured?

If He Chen'an knew what Dr. Wang was thinking, he would only scoff. He wasn't trained by Dr. Wang; Dr. Wang was quite good at patting himself on the back.

He already knew everything before he entered the county hospital. After entering the county hospital, he was just familiarizing himself with the hospital's procedures with Dr. Wang.

In his mind, Wen Xi was not an outsider.
