After exiting the hotel, Zhao Guang took them to another place near the bottom of GreenStone mountain.


On their way to their destination, it rained. The clear mountains and water looked a little miserable. Zhao Yanzi played the edges of his long shirt while looking at the sight of rain in silence.


He changed his clothes to a new suit because the weather turned cold today. Hao Ren could only use the shirt he used yesterday because he did not bring another suit.


The mountains moved in the background, and the square car windows confirmed the sides of Zhao Yanzi's face. A graceful face; a whitish pink neck supported her small head and her black hair was located next to her porcelain-like ears. All of that presents a faint and dim aesthetic.


"If this girl doesn't fight and fight, she's actually pretty enough." Hao Ren silently looked at it and thought.


The mobile stopped in front of a courtyard house [1]. The owner of the courtyard house was excited to greet the four. Hao Ren noticed the many old people living here. Because of the rain, they all chatted on the benches under the roof instead of taking a walk out.


"It's a nice resort for the elders who want to retire," Zhao Hongyu turned around and explained to Hao Ren.


Hao Ren suddenly understood. This place is near the bottom of the mountain. The weather is beautiful and the air is fresh. This is truly a perfect place to retire.


The owner of the courtyard house took them to a small courtyard. Hao Ren discovers there is a hidden yet beautiful place; a small, half-open restaurant.


Bamboo fences, vine-covered skeletons, antique-looking square tables, and a small patch of soil overgrown with lots of vegetables. All this reminds Hao Ren of his childhood.


"Sit down," Zhao Guang found a table, sat down and said.


There were only four tables there, and not as crowded as a regular restaurant.


The rain continued. The green cornfield continued to swing like the waves, and the water dripping along the vine created a beautiful scene.


Restaurant stir-fry dishes are cheap but they taste delicious. They are made from natural and organic materials.


Zhao Yanzi's mother, Zhao Hongyu, was extremely charming and started talking about what had happened in the past. He spoke of how barren mountains began to develop throughout the course of history.


Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren enjoyed listening to stories about what happened before they were born.


Even Zhao Guang, who was usually silent, was in a good mood when talking about the people and origin of the GreenStone mountain in this pure and natural environment. He also talked about the lifestyle of people who were the same age as Hao Ren's grandparents, and it attracted the interest of Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi.


Zhao Yanzi had never experienced anything like this, and that was why he was so interested. As for Hao Ren, he still had a faint memory of the past. As Zhao Guang continued to speak, he felt even more nostalgic.


In the middle of eating, Zhao Yanzi could not bear to go out and take a look. Zhao Hongyu did not stop him. He borrowed an umbrella and asked Hao Ren to accompany Zhao Yanzi.


The two of them rushed out of the small courtyard surrounded by a fence and went to a nearby vegetable plantation for an "adventure"


There was only a little rain, and Zhao Yanzi was unwilling to hold an umbrella. He ran forward like a bird that had just been released from its cage.


He rolled up his pants and entered into the muddy cornfield with his sandals. Hao Ren was wearing sports shoes and was unable to get down there. He could only notice Zhao Yanzi playing around furiously and wildly while standing on a ridge.


In Hao Ren's memory, he was often sent to his grandparents' place in the countryside when he was a child, and back then the countryside was quite similar to the scenery here!


Unfortunately with the expansion of the city, the countryside was replaced by reinforced concrete which later became factories, warehouses and ports…


"Haha.. " The two legs of Zhao Yanzi were covered in mud. He finally finished playing in that field and returned happily to the hill stage where Hao Ren stood.


Due to the narrow stage of the hill and the slippery mud, he could not keep his balance and had to hold on to Hao Ren.


Hao Ren grabbed it. Seeing that he found everything here interesting, he realized that Zhao Yanzi actually had some sweet side.


Right now, how many kids in the city have actually gone to the countryside? They didn't even have a chance to touch the ground, let alone play in the fields!


High corn stalks were seen separating this place from the outside and making a secluded world.


If one looked up, the cold rainwater smashed into his face. The blue sky can also be seen.


As one looked down, a refreshing aroma from the ground entered into his nose. Sometimes the sound of insects can also be heard.


"It's almost time to go back" Hao Ren reminded him.


"No! Let's check the front too!" zhao Yanzi said unexpectedly while pulling Hao Ren's hand and walking forward.


It was rare for him to enjoy the true excitement of the countryside. How could he easily return?


They met a small river after crossing the corn field. The river water is very clear. Although they did not see any fish, the river stone fringe was quite beautiful.


The rain fell over the river and made many ripples; which formed an elegant scene in the uneven and plain fields.


Hao Ren lifted the umbrella and let Zhao Yanzi appreciate the river. In reality, the experience of the countryside in these mountains and forests not only delighted Zhao Yanzi but also delighted Hao Ren.


Zhao Yanzi found a place with shallow water, he briefly went inside with his sandals then returned next to Hao Ren.


A small tree trunk extends to the side of the road. A grasshopper jumped in front of them, a shabby bamboo basket that was thrown away was on their left.


Zhao Yanzi continued walking and took a deep breath along the way as if he was unable to smell this kind of refreshing air when he returned to the city.


A pleasant feeling spread throughout the field.


They returned to the small restaurant and saw Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu still eating. Zhao Hongyu did not blame her daughter as she looked at Zhao Yanzi's entire body covered in mud. In fact, Zhao Hongyu gently took out a napkin and wiped the rain from Zhao Yanzi's forehead..


"How's the view?" Zhao Guang asked Hao Ren. This random question made him sound like an elder that Hao Ren had been familiar with and had known him for many years.


"Pretty good. It was rare to experience feeling in the countryside now, "reply Hao Ren.


"Yes. We will return to the city soon," Zhao Guang nodded and spoke.


Hao Ren nodded and looked at the green and lush mountains and suddenly felt lost.


Zhao Yanzi was curled up inside his mother's arms and it seemed like he was also reluctant to leave nature.


But they have to come back. After half an hour, Zhao Guang drove his black Chevrolet and brought them back to the city.


Still rain. Zhao Yanzi who was playing wild for two days, was finally unable to stop her fatigue from appearing when she leaned against the chair and fell asleep.


Hao Ren looked towards the monotonous scenery of the highway. Sensing the calm atmosphere from inside the car, he suddenly realized he had gotten closer to Zhao Yanzi's family after this two-day tour trip.


Without Zhao Yanzi's unbearable bad disposition, Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang were indeed very kind to him and there was no problem whatsoever with them.


"After returning to the city, let's have a family dinner together," Zhao Hongyu who was sitting in front suddenly said.


"Family dinner?" Hao Ren reorganized his thoughts and asked in confusion.


"Yes, with his Third Uncle Zi, Second Uncle's family and our family," Zhao Hongyu said.


"He was fully treating me as a member of the family." Hao Ren thought.


Despite this, thinking about meeting a kinsman other than Zhao Yanzi's parents, Hao Ren felt pressured and shook his head, "This is not necessary…"


To be honest, regarding the marriage with Zhao Yanzi, he did not yet have a clear idea. If there was a new way to resolve this matter in the future, perhaps she would not be Zhao Yanzi's "husband" and Zi would not have to marry reluctantly


Of course, the other reason was that Hao Ren knew his Third Uncle did not like him. Therefore, he did not want to go to their family dinner.


"No problem, we'll take you back to school" Zhao Hongyu said. He had no intention of pushing Hao Ren


"Does Zhao Yanzi's father have two siblings?" Hao Ren brhtanya.


"Yes, you saw Third Uncle Zi last time. He is not married and is still single. Second Uncle does business overseas, but some of his family members still live in Eastern Ocean City and we still meet quite often, "Zhao Hongyu explained.


Zhao Guang did not take part in this conversation. Instead, he focused on driving.


Hao Ren felt their lifestyle was no different than that of ordinary people, but they might be richer than ordinary people." Second Uncle Zhao Yanzi may have a bigger business than his father." He's thinking.


And as for Third Uncle Zi, he looked evil, his personality was not that good. She may not have a steady job, "It's not strange she's still single and unmarried," she wonders.


As if he was guessing what Hao Ren was thinking, Zhao Hongyu said, "Third Uncle Zi is very diligent in cultivating. He did not care about secular problems and never had the thought of having a family or a career. Third Uncle Zi might look ordinary, but he has the highest cultivation level of the three brothers."


"Oh? How was he compared to Su Han?" Hao Ren asked randomly.He remembered Zhao Hongyu had ever been a blessing in their circle, Su Han already belongs to the upper level.


Zhao Hongyu smiled, "Two people Su Han won't be able to defeat Third Uncle Zi."


His answer surprised Hao Ren a little. Two Elders Lu was unable to defeat Su Han, and two Su Han were unable to defeat Third Uncle, Su Han was a Heavenly level master who was one step away from entering the Soaring Realm. Then the true strength of this Third Uncle….


"When a person like me who is still new to grappling with beginner cultivation techniques, Third Uncle Zi can pinch a hundred people like me to death with a single finger….


Hao Ren's forehead was filled with a layer of cold sweat.


Third Uncle has a bias towards you. But don't worry, he's not the kind of person who kills for no reason" Zhao Hongyu smiled and said


"Third Uncle loved Zi very much. Whatever the case may be, I just name it 'engagement' Zi. In this period of time, if I do anything against the 'normalities of a husband' I will probably die of suffering..


Another layer of cold sweat suddenly covered Hao Ren's forehead.
