Chen Yang turned around and saw the woman from the plane earlier, with a man in a suit standing next to her who looked to be in his early forties.
"What, are you still planning to cause trouble?"
"I'm just telling the truth. Is that your dad next to you? You can tell he's a farmer just by looking at him. I was really fooled by you on the plane earlier."
When Chen Tianming heard the other party say that about him, his face immediately darkened.
"Ah Yang, do you know this person?"
"Just an rude person I met on the plane," Chen Yang said casually.
“Young man, you can speak, but you can’t just spout nonsense. I’ve already heard from Xiaoting that you were the one causing trouble on the plane,” said the man next to him.
The man was dressed in a CK suit, his shoes and hair were gleaming, and he had a cold smile on his face.
"Ah Yang, forget it, let's go back." Chen Tianming had roughly guessed what was going on, so he said to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "She needs to apologize to you."
The woman was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Apologize to him? You're really funny. You should be apologizing to me instead."
"What can you do to me if I don't apologize? The man next to you looks like he only has a little money," Chen Yang said.
Before the man could say anything, Chen Yang continued, "You and she are clearly not a couple. At your age, a marital relationship is definitely not like this. I won't speculate further. You should cherish this woman. A woman who would travel a thousand miles to have sex with you is definitely a good woman worth cherishing."
After saying that, Chen Yang was about to leave.
The couple was stunned for a moment before they came to their senses.
"Stop right there!" The man rushed up and reached out to grab Chen Yang's shoulder.
Chen Yang turned around slightly to dodge. The man looked like he was about to pounce on him, but he calmly punched the man in the stomach and then patted him on the back.
To outsiders, Chen Yang seemed like he was helping a man who was about to fall, but Chen Tianming saw it all clearly.
When Chen Yang threw a punch, the man's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. But then Chen Yang slapped him again, and he was in excruciating pain, yet he couldn't make a sound.
The man clutched his stomach and squatted down, and the woman rushed up to him in a panic.
"What did you do...you..." The woman was about to speak, but after seeing Chen Yang's indifferent eyes, she swallowed the rest of her words.
"As a person, you must know your limits; going too far will come at a price. Now, will you apologize?"
"I...I apologize, okay? I'm sorry, alright?"
Chen Yang shook his head, then turned and left with Chen Tianming.
"Where did you learn to do that?" Chen Tianming asked.
He had no idea that Chen Yang had this ability.
"I learned from a Xingyiquan master. He often comes to my inn. I'll introduce you to him next time."
Chen Yang smiled at his father.
Chen Tianming nodded without asking any further questions; he understood his son's personality, so he trusted his son's judgment.
"How is Grandma's health?" Chen Yang asked as he walked.
"It's alright, but they still often go to pick tea and work in the fields; we can't stop them."
"Find her something to do, something easy, just so she's not idle."
"I've tried it, but I can't stay still when I see my neighbors picking tea."
"Older people are like this, it's really difficult to handle. What about Mom?"
"That's how it is, just keeping an eye on the shop every day."
The father and son chatted casually for a while, and only returned home after finishing their noodles at the airport.
"The noodles at this airport are really expensive." Chen Tianming muttered to himself on the way, but after seeing the price, he didn't hesitate and ordered them anyway, insisting on paying for them himself.
"Dad, just spend the money I gave you, don't save it. My inn is making quite a bit of money."
"We're both getting old and don't have many expenses, so it's good to keep this for you in case of emergencies."
Chen Tianming drove his delivery van, gripping the steering wheel and staring intently ahead.
"Where's my girlfriend?" Chen Tianming suddenly asked.
Chen Yang coughed lightly, pretending not to hear.
"Is there really no chance for him and Mo Xi?"
"It's hopeless."
"Oh, then you should also look around for suitable girls. Your mother and I aren't in a hurry, but your grandma is."
Chen Tianming and Chen Yang's mother, Yang Yu, did not urge Chen Yang much. Each time, she would just ask her son if he was of marriageable age, but it was not yet time for him to get married.
Soon, they arrived home, and Chen Yang's mother and grandmother came out immediately upon hearing the noise.
"Yang~, you're back!" Grandma Chen Yang walked up happily. Chen Yang's mother followed closely behind.
"You haven't lost much weight this time. Did you find a girlfriend to cook for you?" Yang Yu said with a smile.
“We have a dedicated cook at our inn,” Chen Yang said helplessly.
Chen Yang glanced at his mother. Yang Yu still had the jade pendant that Chen Yang had bought for her when he was eighteen, which he had bought for her during his summer job. However, the wrinkles on her face were much more numerous and deeper than when Chen Yang was eighteen.
In the evening, Chen Yang and his father played chess in the living room, while his grandmother and mother were busy in the kitchen.
Chen Tianming learned about the inn's operations from him, and Chen Yang told him about the inn's rules.
"You can make money like this?" Chen Tianming asked in surprise.
"Make money, the rooms are full every day."
"I don't understand the thinking of you young people. As long as you make money, that's all that matters."
"Dad, why don't you and Mom close the shop in a few days and go stay at the inn with Grandma for a few days?"
“Alright, we should go take a look.” Chen Tianming nodded and said.
Soon, Chen Yang and his family sat down at the dining table to eat.
Sweet and sour pork ribs, braised fish, kelp and radish soup, boiled shrimp, fried spring rolls, and jellyfish skin.
These are all Chen Yang's favorite dishes. He was a picky eater when he was a child, and these were the only dishes he liked.
"I bought these shrimp at the market this morning, they're very fresh, eat up. And this jellyfish skin, I can't cook it with dipping sauce, so I bought it from your Uncle Qi's restaurant, eat more of it."
Yang Yu kept putting food on Chen Yang's plate until it was almost full.
"Yang~" Grandma Chen Yang suddenly called out to him.
Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "They're here."
"I don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend."
Sure enough, Grandma brought up this question every time we came back.
"No, Grandma, don't worry. There are many girls in the inn. You can take your time to find a suitable one."
Chen Yang said.
"That won't do. We need to decide as soon as possible. Grandma, you don't have many years left. You're already thinking about holding your great-grandchild."
"Grandma, you're in good health. You'll live to be over a hundred. There's no rush."
"This matter can't be delayed, let me tell you..."
Chen Yang listened helplessly to his grandmother's scolding; his debating skills had no place to be displayed at this moment.
Chen Tianming and Yang Yu weren't in a hurry to have a grandson, but they also didn't intend to help Chen and Yang out of their predicament.
The meal ended amidst Grandma's scolding. After the meal, Chen Yang quickly slipped away while Grandma and Yang Yu were taking a bath together.
He went to visit some elderly people in the neighborhood.
"Oh, Chen Yang?"
"Ah Hong, it's been a long time."
Chen Hong was Chen Yang's neighbor and a childhood playmate, but they lost touch after Chen Yang went to high school.
"Would you like to come over for a visit?"
Chen Yang did not refuse. After Chen Hongcheng got married, he bought a house a few minutes away from home. To be honest, Chen Yang hadn't been there yet.
