“I understand. Since your parents passed away, there hasn’t been much communication with relatives. But your Third Grandpa is your grandfather’s blood brother after all. Even though it’s just you left in your family, I still hope you can come back and visit.”

Zhou Chao thought about the last time he hurriedly visited his third uncle’s house during Chinese New Year. Although he didn’t stay long, the bond of blood was something he couldn’t ignore.

“Third Aunt, I understand. Once I finish up what I have on hand, I’ll hurry back as soon as possible!”

“Alright, remember to come back, and don’t forget the time!” The voice of Third Aunt carried a hint of joy.

“Don’t worry, Third Aunt, I won’t forget!” Zhou Chao didn’t know why, but he suddenly felt much lighter.

“Okay then, I’ll hang up now. I won’t disturb you anymore while you work!” Before Zhou Chao could react, Third Aunt had already hung up the phone.

Zhou Chao looked at the hung-up phone and shook his head with a smile. “She’s really afraid that I won’t come back!”

He casually tossed his phone onto the table and noticed Lin Wu and the others staring at him.

“What are you three looking at me for? Nothing to do?” Zhou Chao’s face darkened as he softly reprimanded.

Lin Wu quickly said, “Boss, the meal is ready. We can eat now!”

“Hmph, let’s eat then!”

The three of them hurried to the kitchen, bustling around to serve the dishes, not daring to pause for a moment, afraid of angering the boss.

Watching their actions, Zhou Chao’s cold expression revealed a hint of mischief, but it quickly disappeared.

Soon, the table was filled with various meats, either stir-fried or roasted, not a single stewed dish in sight.

“Boss, the ranch doesn’t have any other skilled chefs. We can only make do.” Lin Wu said apologetically.

Zhou Chao didn’t say much. He knew the situation. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating, and the others followed suit.

“Lev, hire a chef with slightly better culinary skills in town, for the long term.”

“Boss, would it be redundant to hire a chef exclusively?” Lin Wu interjected. After all, once things settled here, there wouldn’t be many people left at the ranch, and this place would probably become the office for future gold mining.

“We can’t have the brothers who will be staying here every day eating nothing but boiled meat. Understand?” Zhou Chao said as he ate.

“I understand, boss!”

After lunch, Zhou Chao had someone move the recliner upstairs to beside the fireplace on the first floor. He also prepared a pot of red tea next to it and leisurely rocked in the chair.

As the afternoon wore on, the snow outside had stopped, and the pre-arranged snow-clearing team efficiently cleared the open space. Even the road leading to the town had been cleared of snow by snowplows.

As time passed, Zhou Chao furrowed his brow slightly and muttered to himself, “Why is there still no movement? Could the person from China have stood me up? Should I call and ask?”

Just as Zhou Chao was hesitating, Lev rushed in, “Boss, there’s a call from the town. They said three cars are heading towards the ranch, but…”

“But what?”

“The cars aren’t very good, just ordinary ones.” In Lev’s opinion, if it were a big shot, they would definitely be riding in nice cars.

Zhou Chao pondered for a moment. “I see.. Keep an eye on them!”
