Several old gentlemen finally saw with their own eyes the extent to which Xiao Jinli was liked in Xiao Family Village.
Before they arrived home, the villagers had heard that Xiao Jinli was returning, and all of them came to greet her with snacks that she liked.
“Jinli, you’re back. Auntie knew you were coming back today, so I made your favorite Tang Ciba this morning. Here, eat some while it’s still fresh.”
As she spoke, she handed Xiao Jinli a bag filled with the glutinous rice cakes.
“Jinli, these are the beef meatballs Auntie made this morning with our own cattle. They are delicious.”
“Jinli ”
All of them were gathered around Jinli.
“Jinli, you’ve grown taller and prettier in these two months.”
“Yes, our Jinli is getting prettier. They say girls change a lot when they become eighteen, and they just get prettier.”
“Jinli, our village’s vegetables are about to go on sale, and everyone was waiting for your return.”
The guards who came to look after the four old gentlemen couldn’t hide their surprise at the situation.
They knew some children were well-liked by village people.
However, they had never seen a child being liked to this extent, being pampered and cared about by everyone, even the big event of the whole village’s sale of vegetables had to wait for the child to return before starting to sell.
Now they finally understood why Doctor Xiao had been longing to return home while living in Capital City.
Among the guests who came today were people from the Jiang family, one of whom was Jiang Zhenping, the third son of Grandpa Jiang, and another was Jiang Xile.
Others from the Jiang family also wanted to come, but they were too busy with their jobs and couldn’t spare the time.
Well, all of the men and women in the Jiang family have their own work, and none of them stayed at home as a dutiful wife and a good mother.
Jiang Xile exclaimed in astonishment, “My goodness, our little sister is really popular.”
Gao Yanxin said beside him, “Yes, my cousin is the treasure of the village, and everyone loves her.”
Jiang Zhenping curiously asked, “Our niece really has charm. But why does she receive the love and affection of all the villagers?”
For the first time they saw Jinli, the adoptive granddaughter that the old master had recognized, they also liked her. She was beautiful, smart, and had a high level of medical skills, which made her a perfect girl.
None of the Jiang family objected to the old master’s choice of adoptive granddaughter.
Although Xiao Jinli hadn’t visited the Jiang family and formally met with the Jiang family members, each of them had sent her a gift.
After hearing Jiang Zhenping’s question, a child nearby said, “Sister Jin Li is really smart. She can solve so many problems for everyone.”
Jiang Zhenping’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, feeling confused.
It was not surprising that Xiao Jinli could solve many problems for the villagers and be well-liked by the adults. However, the children who surrounded Xiao Jinli were holding her hands and feet and crying pitifully, “Sister Jin Li, where have you been? I hic haven’t seen you in such a long time. Boo-hoo ”
“Sister Jin Li, when you’re not in the village, Little Flower is so listless. She misses you, and so do I.”
“Boo-hoo, Sister Jin Li, I clean myself up every day, hoping you will come back soon. Where have you been? Why has it been so long?”
Seeing the almost uncontrollable scene, the guests from Capital City were speechless.
