Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1750: Chapter 1744: Did Not Bring a Gift

“Hello, Uncle.” Yu Ze looked at the man who walked in with his mom and quickly greeted him. He recognized Qin Yu; after all, he remembered things and definitely wouldn’t forget.

“Hello, Uncle.” Following Yu Ze’s lead, the other children also greeted him.

“Hello, all of you.” Qin Yu hadn’t expected that after coming back home, not only were there more people in the house, but there was also an additional child. What was going on?

Qin Yu recognized Jingtao, but as for the other one—who was that? It seemed like every time he came home, there were people and things he hadn’t been told about.

“Uncle Yu.” Jingtao obediently called Qin Yu.

“Taotao, hello.” Qin Yu looked at the well-behaved Jingtao, surprised at how much the children had changed after not seeing them for a while.

“Uncle, why did you come back at this time?” Yu Ze asked the same question Qin Xue had asked earlier.

“I missed you all, so I came back. What’s the matter? Don’t you want to see me?” Qin Yu set his luggage to the side and looked at the children. Each of them was better looking than the next—really, the family genes were quite something.

“Not at all, we missed Uncle too,” Yu Ze said, nudging Yu Chen.

“That’s good. I was worried you all didn’t miss me. But what should I do if I didn’t bring any gifts?” Qin Yu truly hadn’t expected to see his sister’s family here, so he hadn’t prepared anything for his nephews.

“It doesn’t matter, Uncle. We’ve grown up now; it’s fine even if we don’t get gifts.” Yu Ze, mischievous as ever, chimed in.

“Haha, just listen to this little rascal saying he’s grown up—how funny is that?” Nangong Beiying nearly burst out laughing.

“He’s exactly what they mean by ‘too smart for his own good,ʼ” Qin Xue said, smiling. Even she found her son’s antics adorable.

“Alright, I owe you all then. I’ll make it up to you later. By the way, where are your grandparents?” Qin Yu asked, noticing that he hadn’t seen his parents.

“Grandma said Auntie would come back in the afternoon, so she went to the fields first,” Yu Ze recalled. Grandma had mentioned pulling up some radishes to make radish cakes for Auntie.

“Ah, I see. Thank you, my little nephew Yu Ze.” Qin Yu almost couldn’t tell which child was which, but at the last moment, he managed to figure it out.

“You’re welcome,” Yu Ze said, shaking his head.

Meanwhile, Silver Wolf had been silently observing Qin Yu from the moment he entered. Qin Yu had also glanced at him several times but didn’t say anything; instead, he merely tugged the corners of his mouth as a sort of greeting.

It seemed there was some story here that Qin Yu wasn’t privy to. Perhaps he needed to find some time to ask Chu Molin about it.

“When did Qin Yu get here?” Qing Zhu asked as she walked in holding her daughter, spotting the young man in the living room.

“Qing Zhu, I just got home. Wow, this little one has grown so much; it’s so quick,” Qin Yu said, looking at the little girl in Qing Zhu’s arms, who was staring back at him. She was adorable.

“Haha, people always say it feels fast watching someone else’s kids grow up, but it’s slow with your own—there’s so much truth to that.” Qing Zhu chuckled. She had raised her daughter entirely on her own, through all the messes and hardships. Only she knew how much she had given. So, she completely agreed with that saying.

“No matter what, you should raise your own kids well. That way, when you look back, it’s all the more meaningful, don’t you think?” Nangong Beiying added. Though she hadn’t raised children herself yet, she would soon have her own and firmly believed it was important to personally raise them.

“Yeah, you’re right. If you don’t raise your own kids, there will always be a sense of regret,” Qing Zhu nodded in agreement. However, she didn’t notice Silver Wolf watching little Yuran as if lost in thought as she spoke.
