"I come from forty years in the future..." Lin Ziyan closed her eyes, and her parents' smiling faces appeared in her mind.

She didn't lose out; at least she knows they're doing well.

Grandma once said that good fortune needs to be accumulated.

She wants to accumulate more blessings so that her loved ones can be happy and healthy.

Lu Yun Shen pursed his lips, "Forty years from now, will our country have changed much?"

"A prosperous and flourishing era." Lin Ziyan's eyes gathered a few sparkles.

"Well, that's good." Lu Yunshen's lips curled up, realizing that the person in front of him wouldn't suddenly disappear, and his heart felt as if it had been filled.

He didn't want to know what would happen forty years from now; he was just grateful that the person in front of him was in his arms at this moment.

Lin Ziyan didn't say much. If she hadn't been reborn here suddenly, she probably would have been single for the rest of her life.

Sometimes fate is a strange thing. You think it's impossible for two people to be together, but they end up being bound together and can't be separated no matter what.

Many seemingly illogical choices can only be attributed to fate.

The moonlight was alluring, and the sea was completely calm.

Sunrise and sunset seem to happen in the blink of an eye.

The first rays of morning sunlight hit the treetops and then slowly moved away.

Grandma Lin got up early to cook, as her granddaughter was coming back to stay today.

The elders of the Lu family set off for the airport early in the morning to return to Beijing.

Taking a few days off is already the limit. Old Master Lu can't stay in Fu City for too long, otherwise people from the city will come to visit the village.

She had just finished steaming the rice when there was a knock at the door.

Grandma frowned and went out of the kitchen to open the door.

The wolfhound got up and walked to the door to wait.

"Grandma, it's me." Aunt Huang was holding a bamboo basket with a piece of pork belly inside.

She bought this from the butcher early this morning.

Grandma opened the door, glanced at Aunt Huang discreetly, and then smiled.

"Come in and sit down. I just got up. I didn't expect you to be here even earlier than me. You've already bought the meat."

There's still meat in the refrigerator at home, and Grandma is planning to cook some meat dishes for breakfast.

However, there was no pork belly; she mentioned it to Aunt Huang when she got home last night.

"Grandma, I won't go in. I need to rush back to cook breakfast after delivering the pork belly." Aunt Huang looked at the second-floor window, picked up the pork belly, and handed it to Grandma.

Lin Atai followed her gaze, his cloudy eyes instantly turning cold, but the coldness vanished when he turned away.

"By the way, didn't you ask about perfume balm last time?"

“Those are what I made. I’ll make a few more another day and give them to you and Aunt Chen,” Grandma said casually.

But she kept observing Aunt Huang's expression, which didn't change at all.

Lin Atai didn't think she was overthinking things; she was testing her now out of caution.

Aunt Huang breathed a sigh of relief. "Grandma, then I'll thank you in advance."

"Why don't you call me when you're making it, and I'll help you out?"

After saying that, she didn't wait for her grandmother's response and turned to leave, as if she was certain that her grandmother wouldn't refuse.

She was right about that; her grandmother wouldn't refuse, but rather wanted to lure her into a trap.

The previous probing was merely throwing out a bait.

Unexpectedly, she took the bait immediately.

Lin Atai's heart was in turmoil, but she didn't show it on her face.

The Lin family's cosmetic formula has been passed down since ancient times, yet some people still covet it?

She left the door slightly ajar and slowly walked into the kitchen.

Logically speaking, an enemy agent who has been lying in wait for a long time should not be exposed so easily.

What Ah Tai didn't know was that Aunt Huang was running out of time; she had been threatened and bribed, and Tiger was also in those people's hands.

Just when she thought things were looking up, those people suddenly approached her.

Aunt Huang now deeply regrets that she should have sought refuge with those ruthless people during the famine.

It's too late for her to regret it now; she's already caught in the middle.

"Mother, haven't we brought Tiger back yet?"

“He must have had too much fun at his grandma’s house. Maybe I should go over today…” Ah Jian opened the door and walked to the sofa in the main room to sit down.

"Need not."

He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

Aunt Huang quickly concealed the panic in her eyes and spoke,

“I’m going to pick her up today, and I’ll take some meat to your grandma.”

Ah-Jian looked at her suspiciously, feeling that his mother had been acting strangely lately.

He thought it was because Tiger wasn't home.

On the Lin family's side.

Grandma Lan came over just as Grandma Atai put the food on the table.

Old Man He followed the car to take the Lu family to the airport, leaving only Grandma Lan at home.

They had agreed last night to come to the Lin family's house for breakfast.

"Grandma Lin, why are you up so early? The food is already on the table." Grandma Lan walked into the yard carrying the fish she had just bought.

"You didn't sleep all night, did you?" Grandma Lan put the fish down, rolled up her sleeves, and went into the kitchen.

Mrs. Lin: "I'm sleeping soundly!"

She smiled, genuinely pleased that Grandma Lan had come to her home.

The pent-up frustration in my heart just now has completely dissipated.

"Hmm, no dark circles under your eyes." Grandma Lan deftly cleaned the fish.

The two worked together, one tending the fire and the other frying the fish.

Before long, the aroma of fish wafted out of the house.

As soon as the gate opened, Lin Ziyan and Lu Yunshen entered the courtyard and smelled the fragrance.

"Grandma, we're back," Lin Ziyan called out towards the kitchen.

As soon as she finished speaking, her two younger sisters ran out of the room.

"elder sister,"

"Sister,"

Lu Yun Shen raised an eyebrow slightly, his eyes crinkling as he watched the two of them surround Lin Zi Yan.

So what if he's from forty years in the future? He still managed to win over his two younger sisters.

With those thoughts in mind, he continued serving rice without stopping.

"Yun Shen, you're back quite early. Are you going to the factory again today?" Grandma Lan asked as she came out carrying a fish.

She glanced at Lin Ziyan's complexion and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grandma, let's go to the shipyard together later." Lin Ziyan smiled and patted her two younger sisters on the head.

Grandma came out of the kitchen with a big smile on her face and casually handed the kettle to Lu Yunshen.

"Sit down and eat."

Seeing her like this, Grandma Lan's smile deepened.

"Brother-in-law, will you live with us from now on?" Jiaojiao took a bite of rice and looked at Lu Yunshen expectantly.

Xiaoxiao looked at him, waiting for his answer.

"Yes, I'll stay with you."

"Should we move it up to the second floor?" Lu Yunshen's eyes lit up with a smile as he gently pinched Jiaojiao's cheek.

Both of them shook their heads at the same time and said in unison, "We'll listen to Grandma."

Lin Ziyan, "..."

She looked helplessly at her grandmother, who was eating with her head down, her eyes smiling.

"By the way, did your uncle call?" Lin Ziyan asked casually, taking a sip of soup.

Last night, she opened the gift box and found two delivery receipts inside.

Her uncle gave her machines used for producing electrical appliances...

Lin Atai shook her head, "There was no telephone, and no telegram was sent."

Lin Ziyan's heart skipped a beat. She glanced at her grandmother without showing any emotion, thinking that her grandmother had probably been worried for days.

Since we got a telephone at home, my uncle will send faxes even if he doesn't call.

There's nothing here now, something must have happened.

Lin Ziyan's mind flashed back to the time she rescued someone in her uncle's basement, and her unease intensified.
