With the development of the city district and the increase in population, the demand for tap water was also growing day by day, and the storage capacity of the existing reservoir was far from sufficient; therefore, the only solution was to raise the dam to increase the storage capacity.

"When I last came back, it had already been raised," Lin Yifan responded.

"Yifan! The reservoir is so beautiful! It can compete with scenic spots," Zhou Jiajia and An Qi exclaimed in surprise.

The tranquility and beauty of the reservoir, with its clear mountains and beautiful waters, deeply attracted them, making them feel refreshed and rejuvenated, as if they had come to a paradise.

"If you come in spring or fall, it will be even more beautiful!" Lin Yifan responded.

In spring, the mountains around the reservoir bloom in a myriad of colors, and the small islands in the water are also vibrant. In autumn, the fallen leaves turn yellow and multicolored, presenting a picturesque scene.

"Really?" Zhou Jiajia and An Qi asked in amazement.

"You are all my women, do I need to lie to you?" Lin Yifan countered.

"Then next fall, shall we come back to visit our family?" Zhou Jiajia and An Qi inquired.

"If Qiqi has time, then let's come back together," Lin Yifan responded.

An Qi was soon going to the Cultivation World for cultivation, and they would not have much time together in the future.

"Oh right! I almost forgot about that," Zhou Jiajia suddenly realized.

She felt that there was a reason Lin Yifan brought them all back to meet his parents this time; Lin Yifan was afraid that they would drift apart in the future, so he took this opportunity to gather everyone back to get to know each other.

An Qi was also aware of her situation, and to keep everyone from worrying, she reassured, "I will try my best to find time to come back and see you all, don't worry!"

"Qiqi, after you achieve great success in cultivation, don't bully your future husband!" Lin Yifan joked.

"That depends on the situation. If you dare to bully Jiajia and the others, I will step in and teach you a lesson," An Qi responded.

"Hehe, don't worry about that, they have always bullied me, never the other way around," Lin Yifan said with a smile.

After that, they chatted as they moved forward.

Lin Yifan's hometown was at the far end of the reservoir, so they had to follow the reservoir all the way to reach Qingshi Town.

The reservoir was flanked by continuous mountains, so at times the road jutted out, and at times it dipped into the valley, making it very winding.

A journey that was just a few kilometers in a straight line was tortuously extended to several kilometers, unavoidably.

After taking Motion Sickness Pills, the effect lasted a while, so Zhou Jiajia and the others did not experience any motion sickness at the moment.

Looking at the scenery along the way, Zhou Jiajia and the others gradually forgot about the time, the distance, and the troubles of the journey, leaving only a tranquil heart.

The journey of several kilometers passed in the blink of an eye, and soon, Lin Yifan and his group entered Qingshi Town.

Instantly, Zhou Jiajia and the others saw many rice paddies and crops; besides that, they also saw water buffaloes, chickens, ducks, geese, and other poultry, a typical rural scene.

"Yifan! Have we arrived?" Zhou Jiajia curiously inquired.

"Yes! We've already entered Qingshi Town, and it won't be long before we arrive at Lin Family Village. Get ready mentally, very soon you will meet all the local folks and your future in-laws," Lin Yifan answered.

Now, he was very excited, finally able to make his parents proud.

Luxury cars, beautiful daughters-in-law, this was enough to make the villagers envious and jealous.

Having heard Lin Yifan's response, Zhou Jiajia became instantly anxious; although she had prepared extensively before coming, once she arrived, her mind went blank, and she realized that all her preparations were in vain.

On the other hand, as she looked at the scenery outside the car window, An Qi couldn't help but exclaim, "Yifan! This is where you played as a child? It's so primitive. Was your childhood boring?"

"You city folks have your ways of playing, and we villagers have ours. Actually, we country kids were not only not bored, but we were also very fulfilled," Lin Yifan responded.

"How so?" An Qi asked curiously.

"Like fighting crickets, cockfighting, raiding bird nests, slingshotting, fishing, swimming, fishing, climbing mountains to pick fruits, and so on—there are many interesting things to do, more innocent and lively, free and easy," Lin Yifan replied.

"If that's the case, then maybe you country kids really did have a better life than us city kids," An Qi remarked, feeling deeply moved.

"You're mistaken. Actually, one thing that cannot be ignored is that we country kids couldn't just carefreely play; we had to finish our farm work first before we could find time to play; so, city kids like you were actually luckier," Lin Yifan replied.

"Actually, it's all the same, who doesn't have troubles in childhood? My childhood was forced into learning various arts, with no time to play," An Qi said with a furrowed brow and a pained expression.

Reflecting on her childhood, she felt quite miserable for having missed out on a lot of joyful times.

Lin Yifan just smiled at that; An Qi was right, who doesn't have troubles in their childhood?

The car continued on its way, soon entering the streets of Qingshi Town.

At this moment, pedestrians on both sides of the street began to talk about the two luxury cars that had suddenly appeared.

"Isn't that a Maserati? Whose family is so wealthy to afford such a luxury car?"

"When did Qingshi Town suddenly have a tycoon? How come I didn't know about it?"

"I think I saw someone familiar! I wonder if it's him."

"There seems to be a beautiful woman in the car, so beautiful, really beautiful!"

"Where? Where? Let me see!"

Seeing the astonished gazes of the people, Lin Yifan just smiled faintly and ignored them, continuing forward.

He recognized most of the shop owners in town, and likewise, he recognized almost everyone of his age or from his village; hence, to avoid unnecessary trouble, it was better not to pay attention.

Leaving the street, Lin Yifan continued forward, heading toward Lin Family Village.

Not long after, he took a turn and entered a village road made of mixed concrete, heading upward.

Lin Family Village was on a small hillside, so they needed to drive upward.

Seeing the car leave the national road and enter the village road made Zhou Jiajia and the others even more anxious, indicating that they were almost at Lin Family Village.

"Yifan! Are we at your village now?" Zhou Jiajia asked curiously.

"Yes! We're just a few hundred meters from home," Lin Yifan replied.

"So soon? I'm not ready yet!" Zhou Jiajia panicked, her face full of anxiety and confusion.

"Well..." Lin Yifan was speechless; it had been almost ten hours from Guiyuan City to here, and Zhou Jiajia still wasn't prepared, which was really something.

However, this was normal, given that this great lady and rich heiress was meeting her future in-laws for the first time, it was inevitable that she would feel nervous and afraid.
