"It's what I deserve no matter how hard it is. Otherwise, people will say I'm just eating for free," Gu Changlin glanced at Grandma Chen, humming, and then urged Xiao An, "Drink it quickly. I warmed it up before bringing it to you."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Gu," Xiao An looked at the bowl of black medicine, then took a deep breath, held her breath and drank the medicine in one breath. When her tongue was knotted with bitterness, she saw Grandma Chen holding a piece of sesame candy in front of her. Xiao An hurriedly took the sesame candy and ate it. Only then did she calm down, and then hurriedly thanked her, "Grandma Chen, thank you so much."
"Can't you make some delicious medicine for the girl?" Grandma Chen ignored Xiao An and looked up to scold Gu Changlin, "I think you did it on purpose. You made the medicine so bitter just to mess with my granddaughter!"
"I did it on purpose?" Gu Changlin was so angry that he almost laughed. "Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. You old woman, don't you know this truth?"
"Then let me ask you, is my eldest granddaughter sick? Why does she need your bitter medicine that is good for her illness?" Grandma Chen refused to give in, and argued with Gu Changlin with her hands on her waist, "My eldest granddaughter is obviously very happy, is it necessary for you to feed her this bitter medicine soup? You are doing it on purpose! You just can't bear to see my eldest granddaughter feel comfortable!"
Gu Changlin, who was always sharp-tongued, was so angry at Grandma Chen that his face turned pale. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Hey! You old woman with long hair and little knowledge..."
Xiao An was holding a half-finished piece of sesame candy in her hand, with a look of despair on her face. After sighing three times in her heart, she stretched her neck and shouted to the outside: "Mr. Ding, please come over here!"
"What did you call him here for?" Grandma Chen and Gu Changlin shouted almost at the same time.
Xiao Anshi: “…Hehe.”
Ding Yunwen came hurriedly and understood everything without asking the whole story. Then he started to act like a teacher, criticizing and educated Grandma Chen and Gu Changlin. He made Grandma Chen silent and Gu Changlin look unhappy. He continued to chatter on and on. During this time, Xiao An quietly slipped into the backyard.

backyard.
"Sister An, I brought you some snacks from Zhenweizhai." When little An woke up from her nap, Fang Chengyin came to see her with a food box in her hand. "I know that Grandma Chen prepares delicious meals for you three times a day, so I didn't dare to bring any big fish or meat. Just some snacks for you to eat when you are free."
"Thank you very much, Miss Fang," Xiao An looked at the plates of exquisite pastries and snacks that Fang Chengyin took out from the food box. She was really a little hungry. She took a piece of red bean and lard cake and ate it while praising it endlessly, "I didn't expect to be able to eat such authentic Jiangnan pastries in Ningguta. They are better than what I had in the capital before."
"Hehe, I knew you would love it, so I specially asked the chef to make this," Fang Chengyin said proudly, taking a piece to eat, and then said, "Zhenweizhai has invited a pastry chef from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Sister An, if you want to eat any pastries in the future, just let me know, and I will definitely bring it to you."
"Then thank you first," Xiao An said with a smile, looking out the window, and then asked Fang Chengyin in a low voice, "Why don't I see Guard Xiao Kong?"
"He..." Fang Chengyin's face flushed slightly, "Grandma Chen said that there was not much firewood left at home, so he went to the market to buy some for Grandma Chen."
"He is really kind-hearted and capable," Xiao An said with a smile. After finishing the red bean and pork cake in her hand, she asked Fang Chengyin with a smile, "Have you decided on a date?"
