Chapter 269 Don't Forget

Looking at the record, Lin Yan'an couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle: "Luckily it was just a fine, it's good that no one was hurt."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan, while handling the situation on her phone, couldn't help but complain, "He's just taking a chance, thinking that no one will check on the country roads anyway. Hopefully, he'll learn his lesson this time."

She skillfully confirmed the information, clicked to pay the fine, and quickly finished processing the matter.

Then she exited the app, and Zhong Wan looked at the message her father had sent her on her phone and casually opened it.

[Old Zhong: You better remember to take care of this for me, don't forget.]

Looking at the message, Zhong Wan shook her head helplessly, pressed the microphone button, and sent a voice message: "Dad, I've taken care of it for you. Remember to wear your seatbelt next time. It's so dangerous."

The voice message had just been sent when Zhong Yuansheng replied.

[Old Zhong: Okay, I know.]

[Old Zhong: You're so young, why are you even more fussy than your mother? It'll be fine once it's handled properly. Don't worry, I'll be more careful next time!]

[Old Zhong: Is there anything you want to eat? If not, we'll head back.]

Zhong Wan held up her phone and asked the two people beside her, "My dad asked if there's anything you'd like to eat?"

He Qilan waved her hand: "We have everything at home, I don't really want anything to eat."

After saying that, she looked at Lin Yan'an and asked considerately, "Yan'an, what would you like to eat?"

Lin Yan'an smiled and shook his head: "I don't have any either."

"Okay, then I'll tell Dad."

After Zhong Wan finished speaking, she lowered her head and replied to Zhong Yuansheng.

[Zhong Yuansheng: OK, if we don't have any, then we'll head back.]

[Zhong Yuansheng: That's all for now, let's drive.]

Zhong Wan then turned off the phone screen and handed it back to He Qilan.

He Qilan took the phone and looked at Lin Yan'an and Zhong Wan helplessly, saying, "This old man is getting more and more troublesome as he gets older."

Lin Yan'an smiled and comforted her, "Mom, it's nothing, it's just a small matter. Dad will definitely remember this in the future."

Whether he had learned his lesson or not, they didn't know. But when Zhong Yuansheng returned, seeing the slightly embarrassed smile on his face and his shifty eyes,

Zhong Wan couldn't help but want to laugh.

Grandpa Zhou chuckled, still holding the candied hawthorns he had just bought at the market. He looked at Zhong Wan and the others and said, "Wanwan, Yan'an, and Xiaolan, eat these candied hawthorns. I just bought them for you."

He smiled and handed one to each person, then looked at the two remaining in his hand, glanced around the living room, and asked curiously, "Where are Yangyang and Suisui?"

He Qilan was eating a candied hawthorn when she heard this and quickly said, "You just left, and Zhong Yang also took Sui Sui out to play."

Grandpa Zhou immediately understood: "Then let's leave this outside and wait for them to come back before they eat it."

"Okay, Uncle Zhou, give it to me, I'll put it away."

As He Qilan spoke, she stood up, took the things from his hands, and walked towards the door.

Seeing this, Zhong Yuansheng quickly followed.

Grandpa Qin watched the scene unfold with a smile, comfortably sitting on the sofa basking in the sun, his eyes filled with contentment.

Not long after, Uncle Zhao and Uncle Sun, who had been driving behind, also returned.

The room suddenly became even more lively.

Another day has passed just like that.

Before they knew it, it was evening again, and Zhong Yang finally returned with Zhong Suisui, who had eaten and drunk her fill.

Meow~ Sui Sui is back.

Zhong Suisui happily perched on Zhong Yang's shoulder, chirping excitedly.

Zhong Yang also chimed in with a grin, "We're back."

"You're back? Has Sui Sui eaten enough?"

He Qilan looked at the person and the cat with concern and asked, "If you're not full, I'll go get you some more."

"I'm full! Mom, don't worry! I'm taking Sui Sui out to play, how could it possibly go hungry?"

While explaining, Zhong Yang reached out and hugged Zhong Suisui, then leaned close to He Qilan to show her Zhong Suisui's round little belly.

Hearing the voice, Zhong Yuansheng turned his head and looked at the leisurely figure. He smiled and instructed, "Go to bed early tonight, and get up early tomorrow to go to the grave with me."

Zhong Yang calmly nodded in agreement. He carried Zhong Suisui to the sofa and sat down, casually asking, "Is my sister going?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yuansheng looked at Zhong Wan and said with a smile, "Wanwan, would you like to go tomorrow?"

Zhong Wan nodded without hesitation: "Go ahead, Dad. Remember to wake me up tomorrow, or I might not be able to get up on my own."

"It's okay, if you can't get up, you can't get up. It's not too late to go after you've had enough sleep."

Zhong Yuansheng spoke casually, but Zhong Yang couldn't help but snort and complain arrogantly, "Dad, let's sleep in tomorrow and then go."

He had barely finished speaking when Zhong Yuansheng glared at him: "Dream on! If you can't get up, I'll have to come and pull the covers off you!"

Very good, that's clearly biased towards women over men!

Zhong Yang is almost used to it ┑(￣Д￣)┍,

The group chatted for a while longer before returning to their rooms to rest.

It was another early morning, barely dawn.

The moment the alarm went off, Zhong Wan opened her eyes and reached for her phone to turn it off.

She yawned as she fumbled for her clothes to get up.

Sensing the movement beside him, Lin Yan'an turned his head and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you going so early?"

He knew he was going to visit the graves today, but he really didn't expect it to be so early.

"Hmm, it's getting late."

Zhong Wan mumbled a reply, and while putting on her sweater, she explained, "My dad said that we should go early and finish before the sun is fully up."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan'an also sat up and rubbed his throbbing temples.

"I'll go with you."

As he spoke, he reached for his own clothes and put them on as well.

Zhong Wan glanced at the sky outside the window, turned her head, raised her hand and pressed it down. Looking at his still sleepy face, she said softly, "You should sleep a little longer. Dad, Zhong Yang, and I will go over together. We'll just burn some paper money for Grandpa and Grandma, chat for a while, and be back soon."

Lin Yan'an shook her head, her attitude firm: "It's okay, I'm not that sleepy. It's my first time spending the New Year at home, so I should go."

That year, he had his own little family and a happy extended family.

As a member of this family, he didn't want to be absent at this moment.

Seeing his insistence, Zhong Wan didn't try to dissuade him anymore. Instead, she smiled and said, "Alright, let's go and come back as soon as possible."

She paused here, and her smile faded.

"Lin Yan'an, when we get back, let's go to the back of the shop and burn some paper money for them to commemorate the festival."

Lin Yan'an understood instantly upon hearing this.

He replied softly, "Okay, we'll go when we get back."

Go see the heroes on the other side of the mountain, and also see... the one whose experience was similar to his, but whose outcome was quite different.
