Chapter 172 Happiness

This had never happened in the previous life. Grandpa came from the countryside and lived here for most of his life. I had never heard of him moving.

Lin Jianyan's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "Do you know where they moved to?"

The woman shook her head. "I'm not sure. I heard that their hometown was demolished and they received a large sum of money for the demolition. So they went home, right?"

Lin Jianyan nodded blankly, not knowing what he was thinking of, and asked another question, "Do you remember when they moved out?"

The woman thought about it carefully and said, "Oh, I don't remember the exact date, but I moved here in July of 1982, so they left around the same time."

Lin Jianyan was stunned. It was July of 1982, the first month after he was reborn. So he came from another time and space, and his family in this time and space had left.

"Does the elder in his family have a son?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I remember it clearly. When we handed over the keys, his son was right beside him. He was as sensible as a little adult. I even compared this child with my brat, and that brat got jealous and lost his temper."

The woman saw that his expression was a little strange, as if he was about to cry, and asked worriedly: "Child, are you okay? Have you been wronged?"

"Looking at the way you are dressed, you must be a child from a wealthy family. Are you here to visit your relatives? The family you are asking about are your relatives, right?"

Lin Jianyan took a deep breath, trying to calm down, and forced a smile at the woman, "Thank you, I'm here to look for someone, but knowing that they are doing well, I'm satisfied. Sorry for the trouble."

Lin Jianyan took out a large-denomination banknote from his pocket and stuffed it into the woman's hand, then turned and left without waiting for her to refuse.

"Hey! You kid!" The woman called out twice from behind, but she didn't catch up with the person.

His son saw his mother had kept the door open for so long, so he came over to take a look and asked, "Mom, who is that?"

The woman looked down at the banknotes in her hand, her brows slightly wrinkled, and she said with some helplessness and some worry, "It was a child who came to visit relatives. He was dressed richly and asked about the family who used to live in our house. After asking, he gave me such a large sum of money and left."

"This money doesn't look like our money. It has so many coins at the end. Could it be fake? I've only seen this many coins on this bill when I was burning paper for your grandpa."

The man was curious after hearing what his mother said, so he came over to take a look, and his eyes widened instantly.

His mother didn't recognize it, but he did. It was clearly a 1,000 Hong Kong dollar. He worked in a foreign trade store and occasionally came into contact with foreign currencies, so he recognized it at a glance.

He quickly explained to his mother, "Mom, this is not fake money, this is Hong Kong currency, with a denomination of 1,000, and it's worth a lot! If you exchange it, you can get more than 300 yuan!"

The woman's hands were shaking with surprise. "More than three hundred, my God! This is too much. Our family is frugal and we may not be able to save three hundred yuan a year. He just gave more than three hundred. It's too..."

"No, son. Take the money and try to catch up with them. Return the money to them. We can't take it."

Although the times are developing and there are more self-employed individuals and households with assets worth ten thousand yuan, for ordinary people, one hundred or two hundred yuan is still a lot of money.

The man looked embarrassed, looked in the direction where Lin Jianyan left, and said helplessly: "Mom, it's been a while, she's long gone, where can we chase her?"

The woman paced anxiously, mumbling, "What should I do? It's so much money, how can I accept it for nothing? I don't know what this kid is thinking."

The man advised, "Mom, don't be too anxious. You may have met a big boss in Hong Kong. To them, this money is nothing. It may not even be as much as a casual tip."

"Since it's given to you, just accept it. If you really can't do anything else, just keep it. There are many people here who collect foreign currencies. When Hong Kong returns to China, this money will be more meaningful."

The woman thought for a long time and nodded slowly, "I hope the child can find his relatives smoothly."

Human kindness is so inexplicable that a delicate woman would feel anxious and wish a passerby who asked for directions.

Lin Jianyan returned to the car and was silent for a while before he said softly, "David, drive. Let's continue on our journey."

David started the car and started driving. Zhao Dalong didn't ask any further questions. The car was extremely quiet for a while.

Lin Jianyan leaned on his back, slowly feeling a little tired, his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and finally he slowly closed them.

He had a dream that his grandfather brought his father back to his hometown, got a large sum of money for demolition, and the two of them boarded the giant ship of the times and made a lot of money.

My father did not choose to enter the military school. He became a surgeon. When he reached the age of marriage, he fell in love with a beautiful woman of the right age. They started a family, had their own children, and lived a happy life.

She also dreamed of her mother. She still became a special police officer, but nothing unexpected happened this time. Her partner this time was very powerful and cooperated with her very well. The two of them bravely completed the mission.

The two of them naturally fell in love, had children, and started a family. Then, when they were old enough, they retired and returned to their families, just like an ordinary young couple.

Everyone lived a happy life, but they had nothing to do with him anymore, and there would no longer be a person named "Lin Jianyan" in this world.

No, "Lin Jianyan" has always been there, but he has become someone else's child, has a new family, friends, and lover. Everyone is living a happy life, and he is happy too.

Lin Jianyan relaxed his brows and the corners of his lips slightly raised. The beautiful scene in his dream was like a ray of warm sunshine, gently caressing his tired soul.

Zhao Dalong sat beside him and saw that he seemed to be having a good dream, with a smile on his face. He gently took out a thin blanket from his bag and covered him with it.

David looked back through the endoscope and happened to meet Zhao Dalong's eyes. Zhao Dalong gently raised a finger and shook his head at him.

David understood what he meant, slowed down the car and turned up the temperature.

Lin Jianyan didn't sleep for long. He woke up after an hour. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at his watch. "Where are we? Are we almost there?"

David replied, "Not yet. It will probably take another two hours."

Lin Jianyan looked at the environment outside. They should be on a highway now. "Let's find a service area to rest. Dalong will take over and you can rest for a while."

When they arrived at the service area, the three of them got out of the car, stretched their stiff bodies, ate something, relieved their urgency, and started on the road again.
