After leaving the Inspection Office.
Jiang Ning thought for a moment, then headed toward the marketplace.
When he came out of the marketplace, he was already holding two strings of candied hawthorn.
Only then did he head home with the candied hawthorn.
A moment later.
The rear courtyard.
"Uncle!!" At the sight of Jiang Ning, Little Doubao's eyes lit up. She tossed aside the little shovel in her hand, smashing the sandcastle she had worked so hard to build, but she did not care at all.
Instead, she ran straight toward Jiang Ning.
Her two round eyes were fixed firmly on the candied hawthorn in Jiang Ning's hands.
Jiang Ning opened his arms.
Little Doubao immediately crashed headfirst into them.
"Do you like them?" Jiang Ning pinched Little Doubao's chubby cheeks as he looked at her clutching a string of candied hawthorn in each hand.
"I like them!!!" Little Doubao nodded heavily.
Slurp!!
She took a lick of the sweet-and-sour candied hawthorn, and a broad smile immediately bloomed in her eyes.
Smack!
The next moment.
Little Doubao gave Jiang Ning's cheek a big kiss.
"Little Uncle, you're the best!!"
Seeing Little Doubao's satisfied expression, Jiang Ning could not help but feel moved.
Children really were easy to satisfy.
Just two strings of candied hawthorn could make her this happy!!
Then, he took out the cold jade box and opened it.
Little Doubao's attention was immediately drawn to it.
"Little Uncle, what is this?" she asked, pointing at the remaining Hundred-Year Spirit Milk in the box.
"Something good. It can ensure that you'll never fall sick again."
"Never fall sick again?" Little Doubao's eyes instantly lit up. "Does that mean that if I have this, I'll never have to drink that black, bitter medicine again?"
