After chatting with the old lady for a while, Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni left.
"That auntie...seems like she's very interested in you?" After they walked away, Xu Yanni tilted her head and asked Wang Zhaozhao.
"I didn't notice." Wang Zhaozhao shook his head. "It was just a coincidence. Besides, if you say he's interested, it's not just me, it's for us."
Xu Yanni shrugged.
A large bakery appeared in front of them. The two looked at each other and walked in.
Wang Zhaozhao likes to eat bread, and Xu Yanni likes it too, but compared to that, she prefers to eat cake.
Coming out of the bakery, they each carried a bag. Xu Yanni asked if they were going home, and Wang Zhaozhao said, "I want to buy rheumatism ointment for my grandparents. Do I need to go to the hospital to buy it?"
Rheumatism ointment...
Xu Yanni scratched her head and said, "Let's go back to the county. There's an aunt I know who works in the hospital."
Wang Zhaozhao blinked, but considering that the man lived in the county party committee's family compound, he didn't think he needed to be too surprised. But, "Will it not be too much trouble for others?"
Xu Yanni took her arm and said, "What's the trouble? That aunt and Aunt Ruan you met before are both good friends of my mother."
Wang Zhaozhao nodded.
If there is no pharmacy and I have to go to the hospital to buy it, is it better to find someone I know?
So the two of them took a bus back to the county town.
Xu Yanni took Wang Zhaozhao straight to the hospital and found the chief surgeon's office as if they were familiar with the place.
"Aunt Hua..."
"Nizi?"
After making sure that there was no one else inside, Xu Yanni knocked on the door and went in. The person inside was very surprised to see her.
"Nizi, why are you in the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?" Zhou Ronghua put down his pen, stood up, walked over, and asked Xu Yanni while holding her hand.
"Aunt Hua, I'm fine. Oh, this is my classmate Wang Zhaozhao. We went to the city together this afternoon and we just came back."
Xu Yanni pushed Wang Zhaozhao out, and it was obvious that she had a very close relationship with Aunt Hua.
Wang Zhaozhao bowed her head and greeted, "Hello, Aunt Hua."
"Hello, Xiao Wang. I heard Xiao Ruan mention you. You really look smart and likable." Zhou Ronghua looked at Wang Zhaozhao.
"……"hehe.
In this kind of situation, Wang Zhaozhao’s social anxiety was about to break out.
Zhou Ronghua took them over and sat them down before asking Xu Yanni why she came to the hospital.
"When we were in the city, Zhao Zhao said she wanted to buy rheumatism ointment for her grandparents, and I thought, 'Well, I have connections in our county hospital, hehe...'"
Xu Yanni spoke to Zhou Ronghua in a proud and coquettish manner and smiled innocently.
Zhou Ronghua was very impressed by her and patted her head, "You little girl, you still have your Aunt Hua in your heart."
So, Wang Zhaozhao not only bought two boxes of rheumatism ointment, but also two bottles of medicinal wine, which were recommended by Zhou Ronghua to be good for rheumatism.
"Thank you, Aunt Hua." Wang Zhaozhao bowed to express his gratitude.
Aunt Hua quickly grabbed her and said, "What's the big deal, kid? Besides, you're Nizi's good friend, so you're like my niece."
"Hehe, yes, yes." Xu Yanni echoed from the side.
Then he took Wang Zhaozhao's hand and said as they walked away, "Auntie Hua, Zhaozhao and I are leaving first."
"Okay, be safe and go home early."
"knew."
Wang Zhaozhao, who was being dragged away, turned around and said, "Goodbye, Aunt Hua."
"Okay, bye."
Zhou Ronghua stood at the door until he could no longer see them, then turned around and went back to the office.
The two people came out of the hospital and stopped at the door because they were going home in different ways.
"Thank you." Wang Zhaozhao raised the things in his hand and raised his chin towards Xu Yanni.
"Do you have to be so distant with me?" Xu Yanni pouted.
Wang Zhaozhao smiled and said, "This isn't being polite, it's basic courtesy."
"Okay, I get it. You're welcome. Okay?"
"Well...okay, see you on Monday."
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you walking so fast? I have something to tell you."
Xu Yanni grabbed Wang Zhaozhao and said, "Come to my house for dinner tomorrow..."
Um?
Wang Zhaozhao tilted his head and looked at Xu Yanni, wondering whether to refuse directly or politely.
She was too timid to say it.
She is fine in general occasions, but in private occasions, when it comes to relatives or elders, she is very prone to social anxiety.
"Look, I've been to your house so many times, and I've also been to your village, but you've never been to my house." Xu Yanni knew Wang Zhaozhao's character well, and she started to persuade her without waiting for her to answer.
"But..." Wang Zhaozhao was embarrassed.
"Look, you gave me little bamboo shoots last week."
“…”Why don’t you return it to me?
"Hey, go ahead, don't you want to see my parents? We can just play in my room, yeah... go ahead..."
Xu Yanni took Wang Zhaozhao's hand and shook it.
Wang Zhaozhao was speechless. Girl, are you using the same coquettish tactics you used on your dad on me?
Seeing her hesitation, Xu Yanni continued.
"I've never had such close friends since I was a child. This is the first time I've invited a classmate to my home, and I've already made arrangements with my parents..."
Wang Zhaozhao tried hard to save his hand, grinning and laughing, "Okay..."
"Oh yeah."
Before Wang Zhaozhao could even utter the word "right", Xu Yanni jumped up happily, then turned around and said as she ran, "It's settled then. I'll wait for you."
Looking at her back as she ran for a distance, then restrained herself and walked properly, Wang Zhaozhao smiled silently.
On the way back, she kept thinking about what to bring tomorrow.
I didn’t figure it out…
When they got home, Xie Ailian and Wang Dahai were busy in the yard.
Although it is just a yard, with flowers, plants and vegetables planted there, it is enough for the old couple to keep busy.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'm back." Wang Zhaozhao entered the yard and went straight to them.
"It's already five o'clock, and I thought you were lost." Xie Ailian clapped her hands and prepared to cook.
Seeing Wang Zhaozhao holding a bunch of things in his hands, she frowned and asked, "Are these books?"
“Not a book.”
"Buying random things again?"
"I didn't buy it randomly, I bought it at the hospital."
Wang Zhaozhao smiled a little proudly, his eyes narrowed as he handed the things over. "Hey, these are rheumatism ointment I bought for you and my grandfather, and two bottles of medicinal wine. You can drink a small cup with each meal."
Xie Ailian: “……!”
She was at a loss for what to do, so she turned to look at Wang Dahai.
Wang Dahai put down the work in his hands and walked over, and she handed the things to him.
"Why is there medicinal wine? This... is hard to buy, right?" Wang Dahai picked up the bottle and looked at it. Hmm, he couldn't understand it.
"My classmate knew an aunt who worked at our county hospital. I said I wanted to buy some rheumatism ointment, so she took me there. The aunt prepared the medicinal wine for me."
Wang Zhaozhao explained, feeling a little proud for some reason.
