He Jingyu led Wang Shuilian into the main house.
Third Grandma Qi was very happy when she saw it was Wang Shuilian and quickly said, "Shuping, go and pour a cup of hot water for Doctor Wang. It must have been a tough journey."
"You are too kind, Third Auntie. In our profession, we're always on call. Unfortunately, I wasn't home today; I went to the county town to buy medicine. It started raining on the way back, and by the time I got home, my clothes were soaked. Luckily the medicine I bought was wrapped well, so it didn't get wet," Wang Shuilian explained, and she took the opportunity to clarify that she truly had not been home and had not deliberately failed to come.
Wang Shuping brought over the hot tea, came forward, and said, "Doctor Wang, please have some tea."
"Thank you," Wang Shuilian said, taking it with gratitude.
