Chapter 109: The Extremely Arduous Task...
"Alright, let's eat!" Yueyang clapped his hands and sat down.
She was busy all day today, first taking her mother-in-law to the supermarket to buy gifts for visiting guests, and then going to Zhao Yanzi's home ahead of time to help with cooking. For a scientist who is usually busy with research, being able to do these things is not easy at all.
After all, she was also grateful for Zhao Yanzi's family care during her grandmother's most difficult time.
Six people sat around the dinner table, taking their seats one by one.
The rain outside was still pouring down, but it couldn't affect the harmonious atmosphere in this house.
"You're really something. Next time you come visit, don't buy so many expensive gifts." Zhao Hongyu said while serving food to her grandmother.
"How can this be good, come and eat yours, still come empty-handed." Yueshang said.
"We are all family, what's there to be particular about?" Zhao Hongyu said with a smile.
Yue Yang smiled and said, "I heard from Ah Ren that Ah Zi's exam results were very good this time?"
"This is all thanks to Ah Ren's efforts. If he hadn't tutored Ah Zi, she wouldn't have made such rapid progress." Zhao Hongyu said.
With Grandma and Yueyang present, Zhao Yanzi couldn't make any more excuses and could only lower his head in admission.
"No," said Hao Ren, "A Zi is actually very clever, and she understands things quickly."
Zhao Yanzi was under the table and heavily trampled on him. Hmph, now you're speaking well of me, how hypocritical.
"Has Ah Ren's dad gone on a business trip again?" Zhao Hongyu asked Yueyang.
"Yes, going to the US for an academic conference, I may be back in a week or two," said Yueyang.
"Come visit us at home often from now on, bring the whole family, don't buy anything else, it's fine." Zhao Hongyu said politely.
"Haha, our home is by the sea, a bit far from the city, but it's convenient for you to drive. You're welcome to visit us at home in the future." Yuyang replied with courtesy.
"Alright!" Zhao Hongyu revealed a pleasant smile.
These two mothers are both knowledgeable and courteous, but Zhao Hongyu feels a bit softer, while Yueyang gives people a stronger feeling.
"Auntie, you can come to our house often in the future. That room is reserved for you, and we'll clean it regularly. You're always welcome to stay with us." Zhao Hongyu said to her grandmother.
"Hehe, how can I possibly," Grandma laughed with joy, "I don't want to bother you all anymore, but Ah Ren has the chance to stay overnight at your place."
"Ah Ren has already stayed at our home several times!" Zhao Hongyu said gently.
When Zhao Hongyu said this, Yueyang turned his head to look at Hao Ren, with some questioning meaning in his eyes.
"Hehe, anyway, the two families are one family, Xiaozhi can also come to our house often!" Grandma was overjoyed, thinking that Azhi was her own granddaughter-in-law.
"Afterwards, Ah Zi's studies will still need to rely on Ah Ren for guidance." Zhao Hongyu said.
"Of course!" Grandma agreed in one breath, without feeling that Zhao Yanzi was both her granddaughter-in-law and the object of her grandson's affections, as if there was nothing wrong with this.
They exchanged pleasantries with each other, but Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi barely spoke a word.
After dinner, they still had a lot to talk about and wanted to continue chatting. Anyway, it was raining heavily outside, so they couldn't leave for the time being. Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi were not interested in joining their conversation, which was consistent with their usual behavior, so they found an excuse to go upstairs to Zhao Yanzi's room to rest.
Back in his room, Zhao Yanzi opened the computer, kicked off his slippers, sat cross-legged on the chair, opened QQ, opened Kaixinwang, and opened the game interface, but he just didn't want to do his homework.
Hao Ren didn't bother to scold her either, walked to the window and saw that the heavy rain outside was still ongoing, thinking that being a Rain Deity wasn't an easy job either.
But thinking of the scene where Xu Changlao swung his brush across the sky and earth, Hao Ren felt his heart surging with emotion. The feeling of sweeping across the six directions and galloping in all eight directions was not just a visual impact, but also a spiritual one.
There was a feeling of enlightenment that seemed to be constantly rising in his mind, Hao Ren sat down in a corner, concentrated his mind and entered a state of selflessness.
Zhao Yanzi turned her head and glanced at Hao Ren, making a "tsk" sound with her mouth, pretending to be serious.
She opened the game interface and focused on playing. With such good grades this time, she decided to reward herself well and couldn't learn so hard anymore.
A thread of water vapor, from the window gap, spread into the house and entered Hao Ren's nine major acupoints. Zhao Yanzi, who was fully focused on playing games, naturally did not notice these extremely fine white mist that was almost transparent.
Hao Ren felt his nine major acupoints gradually filling up, and the previously empty meridians throughout his body were now slowly replenishing with the heavenly water energy.
The patter of rain outside gradually subsided, proving that the rain was weakening rapidly.
Hao Ren opened his eyes and felt that he was about to break through the second layer of the Concentrated Spirit, but couldn't quite put it into words.
Forget it, I'll ask Xiu Lian Shou Su Han tomorrow. Hao Ren stretched his limbs and stood up.
Looking at Zhao Yanzi beside the computer again, she was lying on the desk with her hands holding the mouse and had fallen asleep again.
Dead girl, didn't do her homework at home, but was energetic when playing games. Hao Ren didn't want to disturb her, so he covered her with a small blanket and went downstairs along the stairs.
Yueyang in the living room saw that the rain outside was getting smaller, just as she was about to prepare to leave. She saw Hao Ren coming downstairs and waved at him, then said to her grandmother, "Mom, I told you this rain would last no more than two hours, don't worry."
"Alright, alright, you're the expert." Grandma patted her body and stood up, "Hongyu, I should head back too, let's chat again another day."
"Auntie, you're welcome to stay anytime if you want. Please take care on your way home." Zhao Hongyu escorted her grandmother to the door. Although Zhao Guang didn't say much, he also did his part as a host and followed Zhao Hongyu to see off Hao Ren's family at the door.
Yuexiang drove the white Ford, taking Hao Ren and Grandma back to their seaside home. The road was slippery, so she drove very carefully. In front of Grandma, Hao Ren didn't dare to be presumptuous and take over Yuexiang's position as the driver just because they were going slow.
"Ah Ren, Grandma said it again, Ah Zi's family has been kind to us, no matter what, you can't let Ah Zi down. In the future, you must take good care of her." Grandma suddenly said while sitting in the car.
"Mom, let the kids handle their own affairs. I always think that Ah Zi is too young, and Ah Ren might have his own favorite girl." Yue Yang said hastily.
"It's no use liking anyone else!" Grandma's tone suddenly rose, "I want Ah Zi to be my granddaughter-in-law! I don't want any of the others!"
Yueyang wanted to speak up for Hao Ren, but she hit a nail and couldn't say anything else. In her own research institute, she was always the one who had the final say, but at home, going against her mother-in-law was something she just couldn't do.
In her heart, she actually leaned more towards Ah Ren's "class leader", who was of similar age and had a gentle appearance, making him the best candidate for a daughter-in-law.
Seeing Grandma get angry, Hao Ren also felt a bit helpless, "Grandma, don't worry, I'll be good to Ah Zi."
"This is my good grandson!" Grandma rubbed Hao Ren's palm and said in a low voice, "Grandma wants to hold her great-grandson..."
Hao Ren's entire body petrified.
This task... is really daunting...
