Chapter 555 Arriving Home
Mother Fu had also been on the train for several days, and it was already 5 p.m. when the two of them arrived home.

It's quite late.

"Auntie, put your things down, let's go to the state-run restaurant for a meal first!"

Qin Wenshu was a little hungry.

Now that he's off the train, he wants to have a good meal.

After all, no one has lived in this house for a long time, and there's hardly anything there, so cooking at home is unrealistic.

If he were to return alone, Fu's mother would naturally not go to the state-run restaurant.

After all, she could just grab a bite.

But the presence of Qin documents changes everything.

That young man traveled a long way to accompany her to her hometown.

Couldn't she at least let someone have a hot meal?

"Okay, I'll put my things down first. I'll go eat in a bit."

Open the door, and you'll find it covered in cobwebs from not living there for a year.

The yard was overgrown with weeds and looked very desolate.

Sure enough, this house needs to be lived in; otherwise, it will quickly fall into disrepair.

Looking at the house, Madam Fu made up her mind.

At this moment, after looking around the courtyard, Qin Wenshu suddenly spoke up: "Auntie, I think you should stay at a hotel tonight. Cleaning this takes too much time!"

"No need, I can manage on my own for two nights. Come on, let's go eat first."

Leave the things at home for now.

Come back early after you finish eating.

She was mainly worried that if it got too late, the state-run restaurant wouldn't have any food left.

What if it gets too late and the guesthouse is full?
Qin Wenshu would naturally not live here.

"Row."

Just as the two were about to leave the house, a neighbor came over.

"Oh, Mingxue's mom, what brings you back?"

The date of your return is also wrong—Grandma Fu has been buried for quite some time now. "Mingxue's mother, are you back for the New Year? Is this your son-in-law?"

The other person was also sizing up Qin Wenshu while asking the question.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wenshu was terrified and quickly waved his hands.

"No, I'm not. That's my sister-in-law. My brother didn't have time, so I came back with my aunt."

What's going on with these people? Can we just spout nonsense about this?
If Brother Wenhuo knew about this, wouldn't he beat him up?

When the neighbors heard it was the younger brother-in-law, their eyes widened in surprise. "Young man, are you married?"

Qin Wenshu: ...?
"It's done, it's done."

He felt he still needed to put his skill of blatantly lying to good use.

He's not the type to be introduced to potential partners wherever he goes.

At this moment, Madam Fu spoke up, "Alright, why are you all coming up here to ask about this? We have something to do and need to go out for a bit. Please make way."

Although they have been neighbors for many years, Mrs. Fu has no intention of catching up with them now.

After all, filling one's stomach is the most important thing.

"Mingxue's mom, you've just gotten back and probably haven't eaten yet. Why don't you come to my house for dinner?"

"Mingxue's mom, come to my house for a meal—"

"Come to my house—"

Mother Fu: ...?
How come I never noticed you were so hospitable before?
"No need, we have to go now, let's talk tomorrow."

After she finished speaking, she gave Qin Wenshu a meaningful look.

The two of them squeezed out of the crowd.

As they walked out of the alley, Qin Wenshu couldn't help but say, "Auntie, your neighbors are so incredibly welcoming."

Mrs. Fu chuckled softly, "I haven't been back for a long time, so it's normal for them to be so enthusiastic."

The state-run restaurant wasn't too far away; we arrived quickly.

After sitting down, Madam Fu said directly to Qin Wenshu, "Don't try to take this meal from your aunt today, or she'll get angry."
