Chapter: 4494

"Yeah!" Li Yalin exclaimed excitedly, "The older generation says that family members across generations are close, and it really is like that! The lady said she's pregnant, and I'm so eager to get there in time to surprise the two of them tonight!"

An Chongchou laughed, "Ha ha, you're an old tree with a lot of experience sending surprises to your wife and kids? Alright then, you've made progress!"

After saying that, An Chongchou added, "Alright, don't waste any more time here. I'll have the team get everything ready for takeoff. You can head to the airport right away!"

Li Yalin said, "Don't rush, say goodbye to Grandpa and Grandma, I can't just leave after getting there, it's not that urgent. Let me finish this performance and then I'll go."

An Chongchou waved his hand, saying, "That's no big deal! Just tell them, they'll definitely understand."

"Don't rush," Li Yalin whispered, "I haven't seen Grandpa in a long time, it took so much effort to get here. It doesn't matter if I'm two hours late, just notify the team and then I'll go after the performance ends."

An Chongchou saw his determination and nodded his head, saying, "Alright, I'll notify the team right now and ask them to prepare ahead of time."

"Alright!" Li Yalin grinned and said, "Thanks, brother!"

An Chongchou laughed, "We're brothers, why are you being so polite with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out his phone and helped Li Yalin arrange the flight. Then he held a wine cup and walked to the front of the crowd, laughing, "Mom and Dad, let's interrupt for a moment! Li Yalin is about to become an uncle, so let's have some tea instead of wine and congratulate him!"

Grandpa heard this news and laughed with joy, saying, "Good, good! Having another grandchild is great news. You're lucky, young man!"

He then raised the tea cup in front of him, laughing and congratulating Li Yalin on his upcoming promotion.

Everyone else also picked up their tea cups and congratulated Li Yalin with words of congratulations.

As a family in America, we've all been influenced by Western thinking from top to bottom, and it's quite noticeable that our emotional management has become more relaxed. When we encounter good news, we're genuinely thrilled, and everyone is carefree, without the usual reserve.

Seeing Uncle An's enthusiasm for his own celebration, Li Yalin's face turned bright red and he said awkwardly, "Thank you all! Thank you all! I'll definitely bring my child to come and give you a red envelope when they're born!"

Old Grandpa smiled and said, "Come on! You'll definitely come! When the time comes, I'll bring your grandma along with me too! If it's a boy, I'll give your grandma an extra big red packet on top of that!"

Li Yalin was taken aback by Old Grandpa's words, looking puzzled and asking, "Uncle An, how can you add someone to the family and still give my grandma a red envelope? What kind of logic is this?"

Old Grandpa said seriously, "You're always so reckless, thinking only about solving cases. I need to make some arrangements for your late father's sake!"

Said Old Grandpa again, "Since there's only one girl in your family, but the Li family's ancestral line can't be broken! If your grandma is willing to give birth to a boy and help me extend our ancestral line, I'll definitely give her a big red packet that will ensure she lives comfortably for the rest of her life!"

Li Yalin was taken aback and his eyes welled up with tears. He pretended to rub his nose, smiling awkwardly and saying, "Uncle An, it's already the 21st century! Can't we just drop these old-fashioned customs?"

Old Grandpa said sternly, "This isn't about being old-fashioned, this is about tradition! From ancient times on, you've only heard of people paying respects to their own ancestors, but have you ever heard of someone worshipping someone else's ancestors? You know your grandfather's grandfather was surnamed what, and your great-grandfather's great-grandfather was surnamed what?"

Li Yalin quickly said, "Uncle An, isn't the phrase 'breaking off the ancestral line' just referring to the bloodline being cut off... So when my child has children in the future, won't my bloodline continue on anyway?"

Old Grandpa waved his hand and looked solemnly at Li Yalin, saying, "Li Yalin, the concept of breaking off the ancestral line isn't that complicated. It's just that no one is lighting incense for our ancestors anymore. Put it simply, there's no one worshipping!"

When Li Yalin heard this, his tears that had been held back finally flowed freely, streaming down his somewhat tanned face.

He understood what Old Grandpa was saying, and he also agreed with Old Grandpa's idea in his heart. JrNovels.com
