When they arrived at the town, Su Jingsong first arranged their accommodations: "Mr. Han, let's eat first and then head over. Is that okay with you?"
Han Jingchen glanced at the time and, knowing it was not a good time to visit, nodded in agreement.
Throughout the journey, he had been tense, but upon reaching Malan Town, he surprisingly felt calm. He had only one thought now, to see his daughter as soon as possible, but the more eager he was, the more he knew he couldn't act rashly.
Nevertheless, his mind was distracted during the meal, constantly pondering how to talk to his daughter when he met her.
He asked Su Jingsong to prepare some gifts, and when the time seemed right, he headed to the Zhang Family's place, well acquainted with the route.

Meanwhile, Granny Zhang prepared a chilled salad for lunch, boiled some mung bean soup, and made some fried pastries.
