As Xie Ming pondered this, he walked down the mountain to the house. When he reached the entrance of the village, he encountered an old man running towards him with a wooden stick.

“Ah Ming, I’ve finally found you. The wild boars have eaten your vegetables again.”

The old man was very thin, but full of energy. His name was Uncle Chen, and he was an elderly man left behind in the mountains. If you really traced his ancestry, his ancestors were servants of the Xie family.

"Uncle, you're going to herd the pigs. Oh dear! Don't do that next time, those guys are fierce! Besides, I can't finish all that food, consider it extra food for the wild animals!"

Xie Ming couldn't pry the thing out of the wild boar's mouth, so he could only answer jokingly.

However, the old man in the mountains was truly formidable. If he hadn't returned and placed a restriction on those mountain birds, those who attacked the wild boar today would all be dead.

"Don't worry, you have Uncle Shui and the others with you, you won't suffer any losses. Later, you can raise the fence up there, our wild boars are very clever!"

"Hey! I'll have to listen to you, Uncle. I'll go back and raise the fence."

"Okay, go ahead! My husband, Quan, prepared a lot of materials before he went back to the city. If you need them, go to his house to get them."

"Okay, thank you in advance, Uncle!"

The two walked towards the village, chatted for a while, and then said goodbye and went home.

The main house in the courtyard where Xie Ming now lives is a brick and tile house built in earlier years, with a total of 5 rooms.

Upon entering, one is greeted by the main room, where a rather old-fashioned fireplace stands against the wall. It was a replica built by the Xie family, who had studied abroad in their early years.

This thing is surprisingly useful in the deep, cold mountains during winter. After decades of use, it has lost its original shine, but it can still be used normally.

Further inside, surrounding the main room, is a U-shaped building, which houses the kitchen, dining room, and storage room. There is also a small door on the north side of the kitchen, leading to the family's bathroom.

The last two rooms are bedrooms located on either side of the U-shaped room, with a depth of nearly 8 meters.

Knowing that Xie Zhouyi was coming, Xie Ming made some minor alterations to the house, dividing the two bedrooms into six bedrooms.

He also arranged a small pharmacy inside, because Xie Zhouyi had depression and insomnia, so medication was needed to address those symptoms first.

That's right, the Xie family understands pharmacology. It's just that the original Xie Ming only had a superficial understanding and hadn't studied it systematically.

Outside the main house is the family's courtyard. There used to be two pigs on the east side of the courtyard, and about ten chickens and ducks were also roaming freely in the yard.

Even with diligent cleaning, the smell can still be quite strong in the summer.

When the production crew arrived in his previous life, they filmed chicken and duck droppings all over the yard, which disgusted viewers and solidified Xie Ming's image as a slovenly person.

When he returned this time, he moved all the poultry away without hesitation.

Kill and eat what you can eat, and move every single one to the vegetable garden in the back.

He renovated the yard again, planting some flowers and plants, and adding a tea table and chairs.

The pigsty next to it was completely demolished and converted into a garage for agricultural tricycles. After the renovation, the courtyard became an extremely simple rural courtyard.

With everything prepared, he waited patiently for his son to arrive with the production crew.

"Ah Yi, are you sure you want to bring the production crew there like this?"

Song Xiyuan looked worried. Besides being Xie Zhouyi's agent and assistant, she was also his former cousin.

"Yuanyuan, I want to go see!"

When Xie Zhouyi said this, he covered his face with his hat, and his voice was muffled.

"Ah Yi, this must have been orchestrated by those people. If we don't do well this time, we might never have another chance."

Sensing her cousin's despair, Xie Zhouyi took off his hat, gently rested his head on her shoulder, and said, "If there really is no way to escape, will we stay together forever?"

"Ah Yi, that seems like a good idea too. We'll never be apart!"

A glint of tears welled up in Song Xiyuan's eyes, as if they had truly reached a dead end.

Even knowing that this program was fraught with danger, the two still wanted to give it one last try.

"Okay, we'll be together forever!"

Xie Zhouyi smiled as he looked at her, holding her hand firmly, enjoying this rare moment of warmth and tranquility.

Meanwhile, at the Lu family mansion.

The Lu couple were standing on the old house's helipad, gazing at the approaching black dot in the distance.

"Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, did Miss Lu Lu return to China specifically to support Lu Zhiwei?"

The show's host appeared at the opportune moment to ask the netizens' questions.

"Yes, the siblings have always had a good relationship. A few years ago, Xiao Wei suffered a bit. His sister cried for several days because she felt sorry for him."

Mrs. Lu chatted casually with the host, her smile warm and gentle.

"It seems that Lu Zhiwei and his sister have a good relationship. No wonder he personally piloted the helicopter to pick up his sister."

...

The people on both sides chatted and laughed, and soon the helicopter landed.

The plane came to a stop, and a handsome young man in a stylish flight jacket stepped off. After landing, he turned around and helped a beautiful, elegant woman off the helicopter.

Immediately, a series of "howling" sounds erupted online.

#Oh my god, my brother is so handsome! Look at me, brother! Look at me!#

#My brother is a true member of a wealthy family, look! Those ignorant haters, my brother was born in Rome, he doesn't need to sell himself! He doesn't need to sell himself! He only entered the entertainment industry to please his fans, sob sob... I love you, brother!#

#My brother's legs are 1.8 meters long, I'm drooling!#

...

The siblings' appearance set the tone for the event, igniting the enthusiasm of fans online, and the screen was immediately filled with praise for Lu Zhiwei.

Meanwhile, Xie Zhouyi and his group, who were lagging behind, took four or five hours to reach the foot of Cangyun Mountain.
