Chen Yang stayed at home for three days before preparing to take his family to HZ.
He has now discovered the problem with Chen Liu's background, but he hasn't shown anything about it.
First, he doesn't have conclusive evidence to prove anything; second, he himself isn't sure how to handle the situation if his guess is true.
So, for the next two or three days, he continued to work with Hong Gui, forging iron tools as usual.
Hong Gui has recently become very skilled in forging, producing ironware that is hard and highly precise.
He made a very good kitchen knife, sharp, with a good feel, and hard enough, which greatly boosted his confidence.
After Hong Gui's skills improved, Chen Yang began preparing for his trip to the Tianyin Mountains.
The candidates have been decided: Chen Yang, Guo Zifeng, Yun Hu, Ding Qihan, Bai Jing, Tang Jiaqi, and Xu Meng.
This was the largest expedition they had ever organized.
Once the camp renovation was mostly completed and manpower became available, Chen Yang prepared to set off.
Before that, he needed to introduce his parents and Dong Yujue to the micro-world.
Chen Yang had considered bringing his grandmother into the Micro Realm, but she was getting old and not as healthy as Grandpa Yun. More importantly, her decades-old habits were hard to change, and there were no elderly people in the Micro Realm she could talk to. So Chen Yang decided not to let her come in for the time being.
In addition to the three people he wanted to bring in, there was also Guo Zifeng's daughter, and Jiang Yining and Jiang Bo's father.
Guo Zifeng had long planned to let his daughter enter the Micro World, and Jiang Bo did the same. He wanted to let his father in first. His father might not be good at other things, but farming was definitely no problem.
Moreover, this way, the father can also enter the micro-world, and after a few months, he can let the mother in as well, so that the whole family will be together.
Therefore, after a period of time, the Micro Realm is finally about to receive a wave of reinforcements, which is why Chen Yang brought so many people with him on this trip. The camp will soon be overstaffed.
After boarding the plane back to Hangzhou, Chen Yang was surprised to find that the woman from last time was also there, just a few rows in front of her, but she didn't seem to notice Chen Yang.
The woman was wearing large sunglasses, and Chen Yang immediately noticed the bruise around her right eye. Even the sunglasses, which could cover half of her face, couldn't hide her injury.
Chen Yang could roughly guess what had happened. The man had encountered an embarrassing situation at the airport that day and must have blamed the woman for it. What happened afterward was obvious.
Chen Yang felt no guilt, nor did he feel sympathy or schadenfreude. A relationship like this between a man and a woman was bound to break down sooner or later.
The return trip went smoothly without any unexpected incidents. It was Chen Yang's grandmother's first time flying, and she was very excited. Chen Yang specially chose a window seat for her.
After the plane landed, Wang Bing drove to pick them up.
"Big brother, big sister, and auntie, I'm the innkeeper. You can just call me Xiao Wang."
Wang Bing warmly welcomed Chen Yang's parents into the car, chatting with them non-stop along the way. Chen Yang's grandmother, in particular, asked about everything.
"Are there any young ladies at the inn who have taken a liking to my Yang'er?" Grandma asked.
"Yes, there's a young girl who's been pursuing her, and some other customers also like Chen Yang. They're all very nice girls. It's just that Chen Yang hasn't taken a liking to them."
Upon hearing Wang Bing's words, Chen Yang knew he was in trouble.
"You child, still being picky. You're over twenty and still being picky. Your grandfather already has your father by now, and you're still being picky."
Grandma patted Chen Yang as she spoke, leaving Chen Yang in a dilemma, unsure whether to dodge or not. He was at a loss for what to do.
Wang Bing looked at Chen Yang with schadenfreude in the rearview mirror. Chen Yang usually had a calm and collected demeanor, but it was only at this moment that he realized he was a young man.
When Chen Yang parked the car in the parking lot in front of the inn, he was surprised to find that quite a few people from the region were there to greet them at the inn's entrance.
Hou Yu's family, Guo Zifeng and his wife, the Yun family (grandparents and grandchildren), and a middle-aged woman, presumably Yun's mother, were all present. Ye Wu, Chen Liu, Li Su'er, even Xu Meng and Tang Jiaqi had arrived, and surprisingly, the blonde, blue-eyed Lini was also there.
"Surprise, isn't it? Everyone's been wanting to get together, and this is a perfect opportunity. Consider it a welcome-back dinner for your family," Wang Bing said with a smile.
As soon as Chen Yang and his group got out of the car, everyone surrounded them.
Grandma Chen Yang looked at the large group of girls in front of her, including some foreigners, and immediately laughed. It seemed that she had too many girls in her family and was overwhelmed with choices.
"Hello Grandma, hello Uncle and Auntie." Li Su'er was the first to rush up and greet them politely.
Chen Tianming and his wife, along with Grandma Chen Yang, couldn't stop smiling.
Chen Yang showed them around the inn and then arranged for the three of them to stay in the Remnant Summer room. The Remnant Summer room is a family room with a bed embedded in the wall. It usually serves as a background wall and can be taken down to be used as a bed when needed.
"Yang, your room here must cost several hundred yuan."
"Grandma, this is the best room you're staying in; it's usually free. The other four rooms cost 4,500 a night."
"4500?" Grandma Chen Yang's eyes widened in astonishment, and even Chen Yang's parents were shocked.
"Yang, we should be honest and kind, and not cheat others out of their money," Grandma Chen Yang said earnestly.
"Grandma, I'm doing business with clearly marked prices, I don't rip people off, and they're all scrambling to stay here," Chen Yang said with a wry smile.
“Mom, this is high-end business, the people who come and go are different from us,” Chen Tianming explained on behalf of Chen Yang.
Grandma Chen shook her head again and said, "It's too expensive, too expensive. This better room definitely isn't free. You're just kidding me. Yang, let's squeeze into your room. Grandma can sleep on the floor. You're giving this room to someone else. It costs several thousand yuan."
Chen Yang and his parents persuaded his grandmother for a long time before she finally agreed to stay.
"Too expensive, too expensive," Grandma Chen Yang muttered as she left the room. However, her attention was quickly diverted.
Li Su'er insists on being the head chef today, showcasing her culinary skills. She wants to make a good impression on Chen Yang's family.
Her trick was very effective; who wouldn't like a well-behaved, cute daughter-in-law who can cook delicious meals?
However, when Chen Yang was chatting with everyone in the living room, Xu Meng, Tang Jiaqi, and Lini all seemed to be having a great time with him, which made Chen Yang's family realize that their child was surrounded by admirers.
"No wonder he's not in a hurry. I can't be in a hurry either. Let my grandson choose carefully," Grandma Chen Yang muttered to herself.
"Mom and Dad, Grandma, there's something I haven't told you yet. I recently adopted a godson."
Chen Yang brought Chen Liu to his family.
Chen Liu obediently said, "Hello, godfather, godmother, godmother."
Mr. and Mrs. Chen Tianming and Grandma Chen Yang were a little taken aback, then their expressions of surprise and delight appeared.
"Hey~, come here, come here and give Grandma a hug."
Grandma Chen Yang hugged Chen Liu tightly, looking very happy. Mr. and Mrs. Chen Tianming also liked Chen Liu very much, and they felt a sense of familiarity when they saw him.
Seeing the happy smiles on Chen Liu's face as he spent time with his family, Chen Yang fell silent.
