After inviting a few people into the living room, the old lady didn't bother to sit down and have a cup of tea first. She took the lead and shook Feng Zhiyi's hands, her face full of gratitude, "Little girl, thank you. If you hadn't saved me that day, I might have died."
After waking up, she heard from her son, daughter-in-law and grandson that it was this little girl who saved her life.
If this girl hadn't taken out the life-saving medicine and left behind a top-quality ginseng that was over a hundred years old before she left, she would never have woken up, let alone recovered so quickly.
Therefore, the girl in front of her is her savior!
"Old man, you are too kind. Please take a seat. If you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk slowly."
Feng Zhiyi led Grandma Zhou toward the sofa, saying as they walked, "Knowing you were coming to my house, I specially brewed a pot of tea with tea leaves I brought from my hometown. You can have a couple more cups later."
"I found this tea by chance deep in the mountains. It's quite rare. Drinking it can help nourish your body. Since you haven't fully recovered yet, I'll pack two boxes for you to take home and drink this afternoon."
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, her eyes lit up instantly. Regardless of whether it was true or not, she responded cheerfully, "Really? Then I must have a few more drinks."
The old lady was very easygoing and had no airs at all.
Moreover, she seemed to really like Feng Zhiyi; after sitting down, she held Feng Zhiyi's hands tightly and refused to let go.
Feng Zhiyi was helpless, her hand was being held tightly by the old lady, so she couldn't serve tea and water to Mayor Zhou and the others. Fortunately, Lu Lingxiao was there, and he poured a few cups of tea and placed them in front of everyone.
"Comrade Zhou, please have some tea." As he spoke, he moved some food items on the coffee table towards the Zhou family.
"Commander Lu, you don't need to be so polite. Just put the teapot on top. If you want tea, we'll pour it ourselves. Today, I'm here to thank you as my mother's son, not as the mayor. You two can just treat us as friends."
Zhou Weiguo looked at Lu Lingxiao and said with a friendly smile, "I should have come to thank you a long time ago, but my mother is not well. She insisted that I wait until she was discharged from the hospital before we came together. So, I have to wait until today to visit you."
"It's alright, the old man's health is the most important thing. Also, you are welcome to come to our home anytime!"
Lu Lingxiao responded in a casual manner. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Zhou Jiahao picked up his cup of tea and took a sip. His eyes lit up, and then he drank it all in one breath.
Lu Lingxiao raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up the teapot and filled Zhou Jiahao's cup again.
"Thank you, Commander Lu!"
Zhou Jiahao quickly thanked him, then praised with a smile, "Comrade Feng is right, this tea is really delicious, the taste is especially good, fragrant and mellow, after drinking it, the fragrance lingers in the mouth, and I feel even better."
He picked up his cup of tea and took a few more sips. It tasted better and better. Moreover, he didn't know if it was his illusion, but he found that after drinking the tea, his body felt warm and he had a magical feeling.
Seeing this, he quickly said to his parents and grandmother, "Dad, Mom, Grandma, you should also try it. It's really excellent. I dare say this is the best tea I've ever tasted!"
The Zhou family is from Haishi and has a very good family background. Although they are not the most prestigious families in Haishi, they are still among the top ten. Therefore, from the time Zhou Jiahao was born, he has seen all kinds of rare and exotic things, and his family is never short of good things.
It was also a few years ago that his father changed his position and was transferred to Jincheng to serve as the head of Jincheng, so his family moved to Jincheng to live. But the Zhou family has a family background and a wide network of contacts. What kind of top-quality tea has they not seen and tasted?
But after drinking the Lu family's tea, Zhou Jiahao suddenly felt that the good teas he had drunk before were nothing at all. This was the real good tea!
After hearing what he said, Zhou Weiguo and his wife and Old Mrs. Zhou became curious and quickly picked up the tea and took a few sips. It was indeed a good tea as Zhou Jiahao said.
"There are some snacks on the coffee table. You can try them; they all taste pretty good."
Feng Zhiyi greeted them warmly, and then she took her hand back while Mrs. Zhou was drinking tea, took the two plates of fruit to the yard, washed them, and then brought them back and placed them on the coffee table.
When Xie Huixian saw Feng Zhiyi bring in apples and grapes after washing them, she was surprised by the enthusiasm of Feng Zhiyi and Lu Lingxiao. She hadn't expected the young couple to be so hospitable.
The dishes on the coffee table were all high-end items. Several of them were things she had never seen in department stores, and they weren't even sold in Hong Kong.
And the tea they drink is also top-notch tea.
Thinking of this, Xie Huixian couldn't help but wonder if the gifts she prepared were too little. There was also money for medicine and ginseng. Lao Zhou asked her to prepare 3,000 yuan, and she didn't know if it was enough.
After all, Angong Niuhuang Wan is so rare, and ginseng is also hard to find in the world.
While Xie Huixian was chatting with everyone, her mind was full of things. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that the things she prepared were not presentable.
Forget it, we're already at their house, there's no point in thinking too much, let's just leave it at that for now, and when she invites Feng Zhiyi and Lu Lingxiao to her house some other day, she'll prepare another generous gift for Feng Zhiyi.
Xie Huixian’s main point is to avoid internal conflicts. If she thinks that today’s thank-you gift is not well prepared, she will immediately make up for it another day.
Actually, they brought a lot of things, and each item was carefully selected and quite good. It was only after comparing them with Angong Niuhuang Wan and ginseng that she subconsciously felt it wasn't enough.
The two families sat on the sofa, drinking tea and exchanging pleasantries for a while. Then, Mrs. Zhou suddenly called out to Zhou Jiahao, "Jiahao, bring over the gift I prepared."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiahao immediately put down his teacup, got up and carried over the mountain of gifts one by one to the coffee table, with the last ones being the two jewelry boxes!
The intricately carved rosewood mirror box belonged to Old Mrs. Zhou, while the other huanghuali jewelry box belonged to Xie Huixian.
Grandma Zhou spoke first, "Zhiyi, thank you for saving this old woman's life. I don't have anything good to offer, just some common things. Please accept them."
After saying that, he handed the jewelry box to Feng Zhiyi.
"You absolutely must accept this, otherwise I won't be able to sleep peacefully at night."
The old lady's words were a bit harsh, but in order to get Feng Zhiyi to accept this small gift, she had no choice but to go all out.
Feng Zhiyi's eyelids moved slightly and he looked at Lu Lingxiao.
Lu Lingxiao nodded.
"Then I'll shamelessly accept it!" Feng Zhiyi smiled brightly at Old Mrs. Zhou.
