She's waiting for me there.

There is a reason why the custom of pasting Spring Festival couplets has continued to this day.

In ancient times, this thing was used to ward off evil spirits and ensure safety.

This modern thing is designed to prevent young people from sleeping in.

On New Year's Day, early in the morning, Chen Hanlin came knocking on the door holding Spring Festival couplets.

Chen Yun reluctantly sat up from the warm bed. Usually he had not started exercising at this time.

I shouldn't have agreed to help the old man put up Spring Festival couplets last night.

What a sin.

Wouldn’t it be nice to just lie in the arms of comfort?

By the time Chen Yun got dressed and went downstairs in a daze, he felt even worse.

"No, brother, you've already done it yourself, why are you asking me to get up?"

The old man picked up the glue and Spring Festival couplets on the ground and glanced at him.

"Why do you always sleep? At your age, you should get up early. When you reach my age..."

"What's going on?"

"Accompany me to the morning market."

"You consume?"

"It's covered."

"Then I'll go."

After Chen Zhuan turned around and put on a coat, he followed Chen Hanlin and the two of them went to the garage to choose a more low-key car.

Take this G63, it’s just right for buying groceries, and you can decorate it more, because someone will pay for it anyway.

On the way, Chen Yun turned around and asked, "Why are you so interested in going to the morning market today?"

"This is the last morning market of the year. I always feel like something is missing if I don't go."

The old man is right. In some cities in Northeast China, today's morning market will be more lively than usual.

There will be more people coming to the house on Chinese New Year's Day, and some vegetables that are difficult to store will be purchased during these two days.

Although the price is a little higher than before, it’s the New Year and no one will bargain, so just treat it as a festive occasion.

The morning market is quite far from the villa, and you can’t find it without using the navigation system.

Now the vegetables at home are either delivered by someone or Aunt Wang goes out to buy them. He hasn't been there for a long time.

Chen Hanlin looked at some shops outside and saw that many people had already put up Spring Festival couplets early.

The entrance was filled with people dressed in red, which looked very festive.

Chen Hanlin sighed and said, "Another year has passed. It really went by so fast."

"Yeah, I remember this time last year, I was still sleeping in bed."

Chen Yun still couldn't forget the incident of being forcibly dragged up.

The old man was also unhappy. He glared and said, "I asked you to accompany me to the morning market, and you are not willing to go. No, let's go home."

"No, no, no, I was wrong. How could I not want to? You showed me respect by letting me go with you. No one else has the same qualification."

Chen Yun admitted his mistake with a grin. Although he didn't show much sincerity, the old man was still very satisfied with his son's attitude.

He cursed, "You little bastard," and then continued looking out the window with a smile on his face.

When Chen Hanlin reaches his age, he often feels familiar when seeing some people and things, as if he had encountered them when he was young.

Therefore, many elderly people will sit in one place for the entire morning.

Doing nothing, just staring around in a daze.

In fact, it’s not that their brains are slow, they are just reminiscing about things that have changed.

Chen Hanlin has been doing this a lot recently. When he is not with his grandson and granddaughter, he often sits in a rocking chair and looks at the clouds in the sky.

Thinking about the past experiences in this life, I sigh.

How come Chen Yun already has his own child at this age?

I always thought that he was just a child.

How come...

old.

Chen Yun also noticed that something was wrong with the old man these two days. He liked to run next door when he had nothing to do.

They quarrel when they have nothing to do, and then coax each other a few times.

The old man will be in a particularly good mood.

Generally speaking, when people's emotions fluctuate greatly, something is bound to happen.

Maybe it was influenced by external factors, or maybe he was thinking about something himself.

No matter which one it was, Chen Yun was waiting for the old man to speak out.

"Did that old Taoist priest with the big nose come looking for you?"

"Crench!"

Chen Yun slammed on the brakes and the car stopped on the side of the road at the morning market.

He stared at Chen Hanlin, who had a calm expression, and for a moment he didn't know how to start talking.

Man, I know you have some big news to reveal.

But could you please not say such explosive things while I'm driving?

Did you say that because you knew I was going to stop the car?

Don’t play like this next time, it can easily lead to death.

The whole process took only a few seconds. Chen Yun quickly turned his head, calmed himself down, and pretended nothing had happened.

but......

It seems too late.

A smile appeared on Chen Hanlin's calm face.

"Indeed, you know that old Taoist."

"Ah? What do you mean by old Taoist? I'm not a Taoist!"

"You know who I'm talking about, so stop pretending."

Chen Yong slapped the steering wheel hard.

Sure enough, the old man was testing him.

Damn it, I lost because of my unstable mentality.

In fact, there is nothing that cannot be discussed between the father and son. They are just unwilling to accept the loss.

Damn the desire to win among men.

"I haven't been looking for him, but I know that person."

"Oh?" This time it was Chen Hanlin's turn to be shocked. This was not what he expected.

Chen Yun's mind was racing. He had already lost a game and couldn't lose again.

I must get the title of "You are awesome" today.

The old man didn't mention it earlier or later, but now he mentions the matter of Taoist Baimei. It must be because he was stimulated by something, or it can be said that he has reached a critical juncture.

There are only two things he cares about, his family and his career.

Qingxue and Qingning are both very stable now, and nothing important has happened recently. It's nothing more than interactions between the three of them, showing their affection.

Yi'an and Xunyou, the brother and sister, are doing well every day. It seems that they are changing every day, which makes people feel happy just watching them.

Eliminating these factors, all that remains is yourself and your career.

I don't have much to say about myself. I run between the company and home every day, and recently I have rarely attended social events.

So, the problem lies in career.

Thinking of this, Chen Yun showed a hint of realization.
