Li Maolin's face stiffened slightly; he wanted to say something but hesitated to dampen his spirits, ultimately just smiling and patting his head.
"Father, the time has come; we should set off." A middle-aged man walked in.
"Let's go."
Li Maolin stood up, holding Li Chenyang's hand, ascending the carriage towards the town center.

It wasn't because they had reached their destination but because the road was congested, making it impossible for the carriage to proceed; thus, the three generations had to disembark, leading the other eligible children of the family towards their goal.

"Let's go."
Li Maolin gently patted Li Chenyang's back, signaling him to lead his siblings to join a queue already counting dozens.
"Yes, Grandfather!"
