But then she thought about their backgrounds, "I'm from the countryside, we're not a good match!"
Fu Yanlin got anxious, "What's wrong with it? So what if you're from the countryside? I just have an urban household registration. If you think having a rural household registration is a problem, then I'll find a way to transfer my household registration to the countryside too, and then we'll be a match!"
Zhuang Ran smiled slightly, "What if your parents don't agree?"
Fu Yanlin: "They will definitely agree. They have tried all sorts of ways to help me get married. As long as I agree, they would even marry a divorced man with a child. That's what my mother said!"
Zhuang Ran, "I just feel—"
Fu Yanlin didn't want to waste any more words and kissed her again. This girl is really disobedient!
Zhuang Ran realized that this guy would kiss her at the drop of a hat, but found that his kissing skills were really not good. Was this what kissing felt like?
Her lips still hurt a little. Looking at his messy appearance, she hadn't noticed it during their first kiss, but now she realized that this guy had absolutely no experience.
She really loves this guy who's never been in a relationship before!
And so, little by little, the two of them figured it out and finally understood how to kiss.
Fu Yanlin pulled him into his arms. "I'll tell my sister about your situation tomorrow, and then I'll inform my parents. As for your parents, I'll go with you to visit them!"
Zhuang Ran smiled sweetly; at that moment, she felt like the happiest woman in the world.

Lu Zhixia and Zhou An'an returned to the guesthouse. After eating their fill, they felt sleepy, so they tidied up briefly and lay down.
Zhou An'an: "Should we look for Brother Biao and the others first tomorrow morning?"
Lu Zhixia said, "This is what I'm thinking: find them first, and then go find Comrade Fu."
Zhou An'an: "Once it's decided, let's proceed with this plan."
Lu Zhixia could tell she was sleepy; she yawned twice after saying just a few words. "Go to sleep!"
"Okay, you should go to sleep early too." Zhou An'an had already closed her eyes and was now dreaming of playing chess with the Duke of Zhou (a figure in Chinese mythology associated with sleep).
Seeing that she was asleep, Lu Zhixia sat up. The closer she got to the truth, the harder it was for her to fall asleep.
Child, where are you?
How are you doing now?
——
Hospital.
Old Fan felt that his time was really running out. After the surgery, his health deteriorated. He took so many medicines and had IV drips every day, but in his opinion, they were all useless. Now he just wanted to go back and wait to die in peace.
Seeing the two children busy running around, he felt so sorry for them.
Erni blew on the egg drop soup to cool it down, then ladled a spoonful to her grandfather's lips.
"It's cooled down, so you can drink it now!"
"Have you eaten?" Old Fan asked.
"I've already eaten!" Erni replied sweetly.
Old Man Fan felt that both children had lost weight, especially Erni, whose lips looked deathly pale.
"Listen to me, you drink a few sips and then I'll drink some."
"Grandpa!" Erni called out.
Seeing her grandfather turn his head to the other side, she had no choice but to give in.
"Okay, I'll drink it, I'll drink it, alright?"
Old Man Fan then turned his head and watched as the child drank several mouthfuls before he felt relieved.
Erni: "Alright, I've finished drinking. Grandpa, you can drink now."
After much effort, Old Man Fan finally finished the soup, and then he spoke.
"Ni, I want to go home."
"Grandpa—" Erni called out.
Old Man Fan held the child's hand. "Be good, Grandpa doesn't want to stay here anymore. Will you listen to me just this once?"
Erni was afraid her grandfather would die if he left the hospital, so tears streamed down her face like they were free.
"Grandpa, I'm scared!"
Old Man Fan laboriously reached out and wiped away the child's tears. "Child, I know what you're afraid of, but in this life, you have to accept gains and losses. No one can escape it!"
"Grandpa!" Erni couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.
Tiger ran in from outside, and seeing this scene, he was at a loss. Then, tears began to flow from his eyes without him realizing it.
Old Man Fan sighed heavily and said earnestly, "I know what you're worried about. You're afraid Grandpa will die, but if I had a choice, I'd rather die at home—"
Erni suddenly felt that she might have been too selfish. If her grandfather's illness was truly incurable, it was his right to choose where to pass away, and she couldn't take that away from him. So she wiped away her tears.
"Okay, let's get discharged!"
"That's right, we'll be discharged tomorrow!" Old Fan smiled happily. At the same time, he wanted to go back and ask his neighbors to take care of these children as much as possible after he was gone, so that they could live to adulthood.
