Rebirth: I am the boss uncle

Chapter 603 Going Home for the New Year!

Yin Ruiqi felt a headache coming on as he thought about everything he had seen.

"Master, has Brother Xie gone back yet?"

Chen Jia shook his head

"No, Xiao Yu applied to stay here for a year. He said... he plans to stay here so he can be closer to Xiao Xuan and take care of him."

Yin Ruiqi nodded, having the same idea.

"That's good. With Brother Xie here, I feel much more at ease."

Chen Jia nodded in agreement.

"Yes! With him around... things are much better!"

......

Li Na gently blow-dried Ye Youxuan's freshly washed long hair, combing it very lightly.

"Xiao Xuan, your brothers will be back soon. Let's wait for them to come back and go home together! They said they want to go shopping with you..."

Ye Youxuan looked out the window. Because it was almost Chinese New Year, there were fewer people in the hospital than usual. Perhaps it was because... there were fewer people in their building than in other places!

"it is good!"

......

On the train

The three Zhou brothers remained silent, unsure of what to say. They were deeply worried upon hearing the news from home and were unsure how Xiao Xuan was doing.

Looking out the window at the receding scenery, Zhou Yumo felt none of the usual excitement he felt when returning home; instead, a slight worry crept in.

Even the unconventional Zhou Yumo is like this, let alone the quiet Zhou Shiyan.

Zhou Jinyan looked at her two younger brothers and sighed helplessly.

"Alright, you two stop looking so gloomy. Calm yourself down. We're almost there, and if Xiaoxuan sees us like this, he'll be even more upset... Mom and Dad made it clear on the phone that he's not in a good mood, so let's not let our emotions affect him..."

Seeing her two younger brothers becoming increasingly depressed, Zhou Jinyan had no choice but to speak up and remind them.

Zhou Jinyan's friend, sitting with him, scratched his head as he looked at the strange trio of brothers.

"Jinyan, what's wrong with you three? You've seemed a bit down for the past few days. Now that you're home, why can't you must be feeling happy? Cheer up! You're home for the New Year, a holiday you've been looking forward to for so long! Why are you all so gloomy!"

Zhou Jinyan smiled.

"It's nothing. A few days ago, my family called to say that my younger brother was sick and had been in the hospital for many days without getting better, so we were a little worried. But he was discharged today and they said they would pick us up at the train station. I was afraid that seeing us like this would worry him, so I told them both..."

My friend suddenly realized

"Oh, so that's how it is. No wonder you've all been so distracted these past few days. Something happened at home! I'm so sorry! You should have told us before. If you had, we could have helped you figure out a solution or helped you process your feelings. You wouldn't have had to keep it bottled up inside and suffer like this... It makes it seem like you don't consider us friends. Next time, you must tell us if something happens."

Zhou Jinyan looked apologetic.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect it to be this serious before, so I didn't tell you. I'm almost recovered now!"

Several classmates sitting on the other side joined in upon hearing this, and their chatter turned the previously heavy atmosphere into a cheerful one, making it feel a bit like going home for the Chinese New Year...

Ye Youxuan, wearing a long, off-white down jacket, stood quietly under the big tree, looking at the gifts the nurses and doctors had given him when he was discharged from the hospital. Seeing those small, exquisite, and beautiful gifts, Ye Youxuan's mood improved considerably.

Looking at the small phone charm Yin Ruiqi gave me, shaped like a jade flute, it suited my taste perfectly.

Her fingers caressed the small jade flute pendant in her hand, a feeling of joy welling up inside her. She tilted her head slightly, but her gaze remained fixed on the object in her palm.

"Aunt Na...the nurses and doctors all gave me gifts, and I can't refuse them. I really like everything they gave me. What should I give them in return? If I openly give them something back, will they...be punished?"

Li Na didn't really know much about this, but she thought it wouldn't be a problem to send a gift back as a friend, but... it's better to be careful.

After all... one should not have the heart to harm others, but one must be wary of others!

"Xiao Xuan... returning the favor is fine, but... we can also invite them to dinner... although we can't invite them all at once, we can do it in several separate meals! We can invite them to our house, where there are many local village dishes that you can't find in the city, they'll definitely love them... and you know how good your Uncle Zhou's cooking is, his food is so delicious, I guarantee it, they'll want to go back after just one visit... this is much better than giving gifts, and... it won't give anyone cause for gossip."

After thinking about it, Ye Youxuan finally agreed to Li Na's idea.

Yes! The air there is much better than here. It's much more comfortable to go there and explore than to stay cooped up here all the time!

"Okay! I'll do as Aunt Na says... By the way, when will Brother Jinyan's car arrive? It should be leaving the station soon!"

Li Na felt much better after hearing the news that her sons were about to arrive.

"Yes! Your Uncle Zhou has already gone ahead. We'll be there in a few minutes. Xiao Xuan, are you cold? If you are, go back to the car and wait."

Ye Youxuan smiled and shook his head.

“I’m not cold. I want to wait for them here. I haven’t seen them in so long, and I miss them quite a bit… Aunt Na, don’t worry about me. You should go up and check on them! Uncle Zhou can’t keep an eye on them all by himself. I’ll wait for you here so that if you don’t find them later, you’ll have a place to gather…”

Li Na figured there would be a lot of people getting off the train soon, and Ye Youxuan was right; the most important thing was to find them quickly so Ye Youxuan could go somewhere warm. So Li Na didn't think too much about it and went to find them.

......

"Holy crap! Look, look! There's a rare beauty just 50 meters ahead!"

"Holy crap!!! This person is so good-looking! I've never seen anyone this good-looking before!"

"Is she really from around here? How come I've never met her before! I must be so ignorant!"

"Go away! You've only been gone for a year and you're back here. Maybe this is... something we just haven't encountered before!"

"I don't know, someone this good-looking should be quite famous! There should be some photos of her online, but I don't think I've seen any!"

What if the person doesn't like having their picture taken?

"Hey, are you guys crazy? What nonsense are you spouting? Just go up and ask them where they're from, maybe even add them as friends!"
