Infinite Strongest G
After lifting Yuchen onto the sofa, Li Hong began to walk toward the kitchen.
It was about time for lunch, so it would be better to eat first before heading to the kindergarten.
Opening the refrigerator, Li Hong found it nearly empty, except for some fruit drinks.
He slapped his forehead, thinking he would have to go to the market to buy groceries again.
After giving Yuchen a quick word, Li Hong planned to head out to get some vegetables.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Yuchen heard that Li Hong was going out to buy groceries, her eyes lit up.
"Uncle, I want to go too!" Yuchen exclaimed, raising her hand eagerly.
Li Hong, who was changing his shoes, turned around and chuckled, "What do you want to go for? The market is so chaotic and smells like fish. Can you handle that?"
"I don't care; I just want to go," Yuchen insisted, even resorting to a bit of coaxing.
Well, bringing Yuchen along wasn't such a big deal. After thinking it over, Li Hong agreed. If Yuchen wanted to go, then he would take her with him.
Maybe the girl was tired of staying at home; it would be nice for her to get some fresh air.
"Yay!" Yuchen cheered, making a victory gesture before bouncing off the sofa and hopping to put on her shoes.
With some pocket money in hand and Yuchen in her pink princess dress by his side, Li Hong made his way down to the parking lot.
In the back seat of Li Hong's car was already a child safety seat. However, he was surprised to find that the seat had become ineffective right after he bought it.
The safety seat was too small for Yuchen, who was quite tall for her age. She simply couldn't fit into it. Even if she managed to squeeze in, it would be uncomfortable for her.
Given this situation, Li Hong didn't insist that Yuchen sit in the safety seat; instead, he allowed her to move around freely in the back seat.
The car drove away from the entrance of the district, heading towards a large market not far away.
Unfortunately, the traffic situation in the capital was notoriously bad. The roads were crowded with all sorts of vehicles. In the midst of the traffic, Li Hong could only drive slowly.
After a considerable effort, Li Hong finally arrived at the entrance of the nearest market to his home.
However, upon reaching the market, he realized that he had overlooked a crucial issue.
The question was, where should he park his car?
Next to the market was a parking lot, but at this time, during meal hours, it was already filled with people buying groceries.
Li Hong circled around the market several times but still couldn't find a place to park.
“Uncle, haven’t we arrived at the market yet?” Yuchen asked from the back seat, puzzled.
She simply couldn't understand her uncle's actions. They had clearly reached the market entrance; why wasn't he going in?
“Uncle needs to find a place to park. It's not good to park anywhere randomly, and it could lead to penalties,” Li Hong explained while looking out the window.
“Oh!” Yuchen nodded, somewhat understanding.
“Then Uncle, good luck! Hurry up and park so we can go buy groceries!”
“Yeah, I'll do my best!” Li Hong replied with a wry smile.
This market was located in a bustling area where parking spaces were already scarce. To make matters worse, many tricycles and electric bikes occupied most of the available spots. After wandering around for a while, Li Hong still couldn’t find a suitable place to park.
Just then, he noticed through the rearview mirror that there was a spot next to a storefront marked as a private parking space. The space was empty except for a sign indicating its status.
Li Hong knew that this was designated as a private parking space and that simply parking there would be inappropriate.
Li Hong parked his car by the roadside and approached the owner of the breakfast shop next to the parking space to inquire about its availability.
The shop owner was a middle-aged man in his fifties, busy preparing dumplings and ingredients for pan-fried dumplings.
His name was Lin Zhengfeng, and he had been running this breakfast shop for over a decade. Throughout those years, he had opened his doors rain or shine, earning a great reputation and attracting many customers with his delicious breakfast offerings.
It was this unassuming breakfast shop that had nurtured a daughter who was now referred to as a fairy in Huaxia—Lin Ruxian.
Lin Zhengfeng took immense pride in his daughter's accomplishments.
While he was making dumplings, a male voice suddenly inquired about the parking space in front of his shop.
Without needing to think, Lin Zhengfeng knew it must be a passerby from the nearby vegetable market looking for a place to park while shopping.
Having burned his hands with hot oil two years ago, he hadn’t driven since, and naturally, the parking space had gone unused. Since he didn’t need it at the moment, Lin Zhengfeng was more than happy to help someone in need. Just as he was about to tell the person that they could use the space freely, he froze.
The man before him was none other than Li Hong, the young man he had met at the airport when picking up his daughter.
“What a coincidence, brother…” Lin Zhengfeng smiled.
“Uh? Have we met?” Li Hong was taken aback; he didn’t seem to recognize Lin Zhengfeng at all!
Li Hong’s exclamation made Lin Zhengfeng realize that while he recognized Li Hong, Li Hong did not know him. He had seen Li Hong from a distance at the airport but had remained hidden until after Li Hong left.
Feeling awkward, Lin Zhengfeng quickly said, “I’m sorry; I mistook you for someone else.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. Uncle, I wanted to ask if I could park in that spot outside your shop for a bit? I’m taking my daughter to buy some groceries and will leave once we’re done,” Li Hong hurriedly asked about the parking situation.
“Not a problem at all. Go ahead and park. I can’t drive these days anyway, so it’s just sitting there unused,” Lin Zhengfeng replied generously.
He remembered that his daughter had mentioned this Li Hong, a successful young entrepreneur. More importantly, this guy was also his daughter's business partner. With that in mind, how could Lin Zhengfeng possibly disagree?
Even without these reasons, he would have agreed simply because a passerby was seeking help with finding a parking space.
"Thank you so much, Uncle!" Li Hong said gratefully.
This truly relieved him from a great dilemma. If he couldn't find a parking spot, he would only have two options: either park haphazardly and risk getting fined and points deducted from his license, or park far away from the market and walk with Yuchen.
Neither of those options was ideal.
Now that the problem could be resolved smoothly, Li Hong was naturally very pleased.
After greeting the uncle, Li Hong quickly drove his car into the parking space.
Once he set the handbrake, Li Hong took Yuchen and headed towards the market.
