After chatting with Yang Lihua for a while, Lin Xiang was ready to go home.
Before leaving, Mrs. Yang gave Lin Xiang all the meatballs that Yang Lihua had specially fried for her, and also handed over quite a few homemade dried pickles and several pieces of cured meat.
Lin Xiang couldn't refuse and had to accept them.
Carrying the heavy basket, she returned home, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard voices chatting.
"Back, sweetie."
Aunt Lin greeted Lin Xiang warmly upon seeing her, "I must say, the environment in Beijing really does raise people well. Look at our sweetie, she hasn't been in Beijing for long, yet she's turned into a city girl, looking totally different from us country folks."
If not for Aunt Lin's overly conspicuous flattering smile, Lin Xiang would have reasonably suspected she was being sarcastic.
