Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

After getting out of the car, Xia Jinyuan went to look for the chauffeur who had been waiting for him for more than ten minutes to pick up the gifts. The driver opened the trunk and told Ye Jian in detail who the gifts were for and what they were. Ye Jian was dumbfounded.

The entire family, including her, had gifts.

Xia Jinyuan didn’t think that there was too much. Third Uncle was very filial. The chauffeur counted the items carefully, and Xia Jinyuan listened carefully. Fortunately, although there were many items, they were small and didn’t take up much space.

Then, the chauffeur relayed what the matriarch said. She basically said that when her granddaughter-in-law went over, she would definitely give out a huge red packet. She would also get Xia Jinyuan’s uncles and aunts to give out huge red packets.

Even when the chauffeur relayed the message, Ye Jian still blushed.

After explaining everything, the chauffeur passed the car keys to Xia Jinyuan and prepared to help him put the gifts back into the trunk. Xia Jinyuan saw that it was getting late and asked the chauffeur to leave first. He could do the rest himself.

Dan Gui Garden occupied a large area. All the villas were hidden in the forest. It was impossible for the two of them to walk home. They could only take a car.

After the chauffeur left, Ye Jian looked at Xia Jinyuan, who was fiddling with the gifts until her arms were crossed. ”They’re too many gifts, and they’re too expensive. Did the matriarch empty the house?”

”This isn’t much. The car can drive directly into Dan Gui Garden. It’s already good enough that Grandma didn’t fill the back seat.” With the gifts in his hand, Xia Jinyuan had the confidence to speak. It was indeed inappropriate to visit empty-handed.

As he spoke, he placed the gifts that they had just counted back into the trunk one by one. ”The weather is cold. Wait for me in the car.”

There was no empty space in his hands, but he still didn’t say much. Ye Jian took the gifts from his other hand and said, ”This is already scary enough. When my dad sees you later, he’ll think that you’re here to send the betrothal gifts.”

”I wanted to do that, but you didn’t agree.”

”Hurry up. Don’t talk nonsense.”

”You mentioned it first, but you won’t let me speak? How unreasonable.”

She was unreasonable. Ye Jian snorted softly and was overjoyed.

Old Master Fu and Mr. Fu didn’t know that Ye Jian would be back. The three of them, including Uncle Fu, stayed at home for the new year. On New Year’s Eve, the neighbors came to invite the family over for New Year’s Eve dinner. On the first day of the new year, many neighbors came to visit them. There were also scientists from the aviation institute.

The old man’s house was extremely lively with all his former students.

Today was the third day of the new year. It was also the matriarch’s birthday. Everyone knew that the old man wouldn’t receive guests today. It had already been lively for the first two days. The old man and Mr. Fu ate a bowl of plain noodles each and went to the chess room to play chess.

The day passed quietly.

It was already nine o’clock in the evening. The butler, Uncle Fu, was preparing Chinese medicine to wash the old man’s feet. It was used to ward off the cold so that the old man could sleep more peacefully at night.

In winter, the old man’s legs would always hurt a little. Medicine didn’t work. He could still relieve some of the pain by soaking his feet in Chinese medicine. Even the medicinal herbs used were wild herbs. The medicinal effects were good and long. That was why the old man wasn’t in pain at night.

The medicine had been brewed and poured into the wooden basin. Then, he covered it with a thick pure cotton towel. Uncle Fu wiped his hands and was about to go to the chess room to invite the old master out when the doorbell rang…

Ever since he moved into Dan Gui Garden, no guests had visited on the third day of the new year, let alone at night. In the past, when the old man hadn’t retired, there was an emergency in the aerospace institute that needed the old man to deal with it.
