1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 294 was already radiating a doting smile.
Song Huanian completely ignored the welcoming staff who lined up to greet him; in his more than seventy years of life, such a rude moment was truly rare.

Now all he could see was that tall, pine-like figure, and before he even walked over, tears were already welling up in his eyes.

“Dad…” Song Heting was worried about his father’s health, but at this moment his father was no longer listening to anything.

Five meters, three meters... The hurried steps finally slowed down, and Song Heting could clearly feel the arm he was supporting trembling.

Song Huanian suddenly stopped, hesitating to take the last step.

"Jinshu..."

The name he had been reciting for decades came out without hesitation.

The old man stretched out his arm with trembling hands, his eyes greedily tracing Gu Qingye's face, searching for his familiar features inch by inch.

The beautiful face in my memory has never faded, and now it has reappeared in another way.

"Are you... are you Kiyono?"

Although it is a question, it does not contain any sense of doubt.

Like Song Huanian, the moment Gu Qingye saw the Song family father and son, he was almost certain that they were his mother's family.

The Song family members all look alike, including him.

Wearing a military uniform, Gu Qingye stepped forward and saluted: "Hello, Mr. Song, I am Gu Qingye."

The moment Gu Qingye's arm fell, it was tightly grasped by a pair of aged hands, and the trembling and warmth that followed spoke volumes about the old man's excitement and nervousness.

"Alright, alright, Kiyono, I'm your grandfather, I'm your grandfather!"

After saying this, Song Huanian could no longer control herself. Tears streamed down her face, but she still couldn't bear to look away from Gu Qingye, not wanting to look away for even a second.

The reception team, which had been waiting for a long time, hesitated for a moment, but then acquiesced to letting the "interlude" continue for a while longer, at least until the old man's emotions had calmed down a bit.

However, Song Huanian's emotions had calmed down, but he kept holding Gu Qingye's hand. Wherever his grandson went, he would go. No one could separate him from the child.

The task of communicating with the Chinese reception staff was entirely entrusted to the Song brothers, which suited the Chinese side perfectly.

Song Yunqing had no interest in the official reception and naturally chose to stay by her grandfather's side.

This is the husband of the god of wealth and goddess in her heart!

Even in terms of closeness, she felt that Gu Qingye was her brother-in-law, not Lu Youyou as her sister-in-law.

Cheerfulness and enthusiasm are the underlying characteristics of this girl who grew up abroad. Song Yunqing doesn't know what shyness is; if she's interested, she'll keep looking and look boldly.

Her eyes grew brighter and brighter, and she knew that with Lu Youyou's discerning eye, she couldn't possibly be interested in an ordinary person.

She dated the football captain behind her family's back in high school and always thought she liked muscular men. Today she realized that she still likes muscular men, but Chinese ones are more appealing!

My cousin's physique and face... are top-notch, the best of the best!
I knew it! She clearly has a completely Chinese palate, how could she possibly like white food? It's all because there aren't enough Chinese people in San Francisco, so there aren't enough options.

Gu Qingye naturally noticed such a direct gaze. This must be his cousin. It would be hard not to see such dazzling red hair.

"Hello, I'm Song Yunqing, Sister Lu's roommate."

Song Yunqing extended her right hand, and Gu Qingye gently squeezed it before letting go, his deep and pleasant voice ringing out.

"Hello, Gu Qingye, Youyou's husband."

Song Yunqing burst out laughing, which stood out conspicuously at the empty entrance. She immediately closed her mouth, but the smile on her face remained.

She thought soldiers were all serious, but she didn't expect them to be so interesting. She likes this cousin.

Song Huanian finally stopped crying. Seeing her granddaughter and grandson getting along well, she was very happy.

He cast aside all pretense of refined elegance and scholarly demeanor; all he wanted now was to enjoy family time with his grandson. "Qingye, how have you been these past few years?"

"pretty good."

Gu Qingye doesn't complain, and he doesn't feel bitter, especially after meeting Lu Youyou, his life seems to be filled with only sweetness.

However, there is a kind of bitterness that only your maternal grandfather can feel, especially when you find your grandson after thirty years. That is more bitter than bitter gourd, the most bitter thing in the world!
Touching the calluses on her grandson's hands and the countless healed, tiny scars, Song Huanian only wanted to make up for the thirty years of love she had missed giving him.

Thinking of this, the old man's eyes reddened again. He hadn't shed so many tears since his daughter and wife passed away one after another.

Overwhelmed with joy and sadness, Song Huanian was too excited to utter a single word, despite her overflowing concern.

Song Yunqing naturally took over the conversation. In fact, she was definitely the one who had the most in common with Gu Qingye.

Because she started talking about Lu Youyou, Song Yunqing had a slight misjudgment of her new cousin's personality.

Who said Gu Qingye is unsmiling? He clearly has one topic after another!

"Cousin, when did you and Sister Lu get married?"

"76."

Wow, so early!

"You two are childhood sweethearts?"

"No." Gu Qingye thought for a moment and added, "Shouldn't it be considered a hero rescuing a damsel in distress?"

"Wow! How romantic!" Song Yunqing's eyes gleamed with even more gossip. "So you fell in love at first sight?"

"It was love at first sight."

Gu Qingye recalled the moments he spent with Lu Youyou, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

Song Yunqing's eyes widened suddenly. What did she see?!

My cousin's smile is absolutely stunning; only such an authoritative face is worthy of the perfect Lu Jie!

Little Song doesn't understand what it means to ship couples on the spot, nor does she know that her mouth is now stretched to her ears, forming a genuine auntie smile.

"Cousin, Sister Lu is really amazing, let me tell you..."

"Um……"

"You have no idea how much Sister Lu is at our school..."

"Yeah……"

Song Yunqing talked non-stop for twenty minutes, and Gu Qingye memorized every word, including the punctuation marks.

He was never a talkative person, but he greedily wanted to know everything about his lover.

The distance of 10,000 kilometers was gradually diminished in Song Yunqing's description. Although it was a small amount, it was all he could grasp.

Most of the reception team was with Song Heting, and at Song Huanian's request, only one staff member remained on their side.

The young man was from overseas, but everyone present spoke Chinese, so his foreign language skills were completely useless, and his diplomatic skills were even less of a concern. The foreign guests and the locals were getting along very well, and he, as the "local guide," couldn't even get a word in edgewise.

However, when it comes to foreign affairs reception, being able to complete the task without being humble or arrogant is good reception, and knowing when to keep quiet is also a very important diplomatic skill.

The young man maintained a high level of focus without getting in the way, and politely guided Mr. Song when he realized he had fallen behind, successfully getting him to the convoy that was supposed to be there.

When Song Huanian arrived, most of the Song family members were already on the train. They were going to visit their hometown in Jiangnan first, and then head to the capital.
