Quick mission: We don't make trouble

Yu Bo: "Identity?" Hearing this question, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He had never thought about this question before.

Everything he'd experienced today had been like a dream, so fast it had taken him by surprise. In the blink of an eye, he'd escaped from his predicament; in the next instant, he'd seen people; and in a split second, he'd successfully found Sister Zhu's family. Even though these people weren't his real relatives, he was still genuinely happy for them. Furthermore, they were all from the same hometown, and their presence was truly a pleasant surprise.

The joy of reunion filled him so deeply that he had no time to think about anything else. Just as he was lost in thought, Didi spoke first, "Uncle. Yu Bo is my uncle." Then, the little guy even improvised a song: "I have countless uncles. They only come to visit when there's something important to do."

"Little kid, stop messing around." Zhu Yingying scolded softly.

However, Zhu Qingqing on the side expressed a different opinion: "I think this is great. Xiao Yu is our cousin! Aren't our parents his uncle and aunt? He is also embarking on the journey back to the east with us this time to trace his roots."

Zhu Yingying turned her gaze towards Yu Bo, with a hint of expectation in her eyes, and asked softly, "What do you think?"

Yu Bo was stunned. He had never imagined he'd suddenly have so many relatives. Although he'd spent his childhood in an orphanage, where the director's grandmother cared for him like a family member, it was, after all, just a large collective, not a true home. Now, facing this warm and loving family atmosphere, he couldn't help but yearn for it.

Recalling his first encounter with Mr. and Mrs. Zhu, Yu Bo felt a surge of freshness as he watched them bicker and joke like children. And when he witnessed their meticulous care and concern for Zhu Yingying, he felt a surge of inexplicable envy. He wondered what it would be like to be part of such a warm and harmonious family.

At this moment, opportunity had arrived. Putting aside the good intentions of Zhu's father, mother, and sister, the mere fact that they knew each other was a rare fate. Furthermore, in this unfamiliar environment, where they had no relatives, the only way to survive was to rely on each other and work together.

Yu Bo realized this might be an opportunity to change his fate, so he nodded repeatedly in agreement without hesitation. Then, with a firm and sincere tone, he replied, "I do," revealing his longing and yearning for this new family.

"Wow, that's great! We have another cousin in the family. Hello, cousin, I'm Wu Di, and everyone calls me Didi."

Wu Di was the first to express his opinion and led the applause to welcome Bo's joining.

Then he pulled him in front of Zhu's father and said, "Uncle, this is my grandpa, your uncle. Hehehe~~"

Yu Bo: "Hello, uncle."

Father Zhu went up and patted Yu Bo on the shoulder: "Xiao Yu, you are very good. From now on, we will be a family."

Yu Bo called Mother Zhu again: "Auntie."

"Ugh."

Mother Zhu agreed loudly, and after searching all over her body, she found nothing. She said, "Oh, I don't have any gift for you. I'll have to make it up later."

She already had a good impression of Bo, and since Yu Bo saved Yingying, she now had a nephew for free. How could she not be overjoyed?

Wu Di: "Uncle, you have to give me the gift in the future."

Zhu Qingqing scolded: "You kid..."

Yu Bo: "It's okay, Sister Zhu, Didi is very cute. I will definitely give her a big gift later."

Zhu Qingqing: "So, my cousin can't run away either. Just remember it for now. We'll talk about it after we settle down."

Yu Bo: "Okay, cousin."

Zhu Yingying teased him: "They both call each other cousin, how can you tell them apart, cousin?"

Yu Bo: "First cousin, second cousin."

Zhu Qingqing hummed.

Zhu Yingying smiled and said, "Good cousin."

Yu Bo greeted Wang Xiangdong again: "Brother Dong."

Wang Xiangdong nodded in response.

Zhu Qingqing: "Now that our identities are settled, let's talk about our future plans. Should we stay here or go to Da Zhou? Lao Geng, could you please tell me about Da Zhou's current situation?"

Wang Xiangdong briefly explained the situation of Da Zhou that he had learned about.

The Great Zhou Dynasty is now only in its second emperor.

The previous Dayu Dynasty had a corrupt and incompetent emperor, and the people were living in dire straits, which aroused public anger and led to uprisings in various places. Finally, Li Mingxian, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, united all forces to overthrow Dayu and establish the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Great Zhou Dynasty put down various rebellions and reached agreements with neighboring countries such as Tubo and Western Turkestan to rest and recuperate.

The current second-generation Great Zhou emperor is called Li Chengling. He is said to be a diligent and hardworking man. He is committed to the prosperity of the country and has implemented a series of reforms, which have enabled the Great Zhou to achieve certain achievements in politics, economy, and culture. The people are living a good life. …”

After listening to Wang Xiangdong, everyone digested the information in silence.

At this moment, Zhu Yingying suddenly broke the silence and said, "I think if we go to the Great Zhou, we might be able to make a name for ourselves with our own abilities! Besides, I heard that business is well developed there, and there are many opportunities. It's much better than staying in this small place!"

Wu Di: "I agree. I finally made it through time and space, so I have to make the most of this opportunity. How can I not give it my all?"

Zhu Qingqing patted her and said, "Children have no right to speak."

Wu Di was dissatisfied.

Zhu Qingqing: "Everyone, don't think about causing trouble. We just need to live peacefully and healthily."

Father Zhu: "Qingqing is right. We know our own worth and are not the kind of people who would stir up trouble."

Mother Zhu: "I agree to go to Da Zhou. After all, it's a Han Chinese area, and the living habits are similar. I definitely can't stand eating tsampa and drinking butter tea here every day."

Yu Bo: "Uncle, aunt, cousin, wherever you go, go."

I was an orphan before, but now I have relatives, so of course I have to follow closely.

Finally, Wang Xiangdong expressed his opinion with only one sentence: "I agree to go to Da Zhou."

Zhu Qingqing: "Okay. We're on the same page. We'll just wait for the headman to come back and give us a pass. We'll take the pass and head to Da Zhou, explore a bit, and then find a beautiful place to settle down and live a happy life."

Zhu Qingqing glanced at Wang Xiangdong and said, "Lao Geng, after we settle down, it's up to you whether you want to stay or go on a journey."

She still remembered Wang Xiangdong's wish.

Wang Xiangdong said, "Thank you."

After that, everyone finalized some details and began to prepare for going to Da Zhou.
