On the night the Shanghai socialite accompanied the military officer, he broke his vow.

Chapter 113 Give Me Some Face

After learning that Song Jinyue and the others would be coming back for the National Day holiday, Aunt Wu started airing the quilts half a month in advance, and today she has aired them five times already.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Fifth Uncle nimbly returned to the house.

Before Song Jinyue left, she left a vat of spiritual spring water. Now, her fifth uncle and fifth aunt are in good health and full of energy.

Fifth Uncle took out the quilts to air them out. There were three quilts in total: one for Fu Sinian and Song Jinyue, one for Fu Shuwen and Tang Wanhua, and the other for Grandpa Fu and Grandma Fu.

They will be staying at the Song family's old house for two days this time.

"I don't know what kind of tea my older brother likes to drink. I heard from Yue that he is good at chess. When we meet this time, I must compete with him to see who is better."

Fifth Uncle said this while airing out the quilts.

After learning that Grandpa Fu also enjoyed playing chess, Fifth Uncle kept talking about it. When Song Jinyue told him that Grandpa Fu would also be coming to Shanghai this time, Fifth Uncle was happy for several days, looking forward to Grandpa Fu's arrival so that they could have a good match.

"You talk about chess all the time; I bet you feel uncomfortable if you don't play chess for a day."

Fifth Aunt rolled her eyes at Fifth Uncle, and without saying a word, she picked up a broom and started sweeping at his feet.

Fifth Uncle jumped up on the spot, "Hey, hey, hey, these are shoes I just cleaned!"

"I'm warning you, Yueyue and her family will be traveling from Beijing to Shanghai by train for more than ten hours. When your in-laws arrive, don't pester them to play chess with you. Let them rest first."

"Not everyone is like you, with endless energy."

Fifth Aunt was worried that Fifth Uncle's insistence on playing chess with Grandpa Fu would disturb his rest, so she gave him some instructions in advance.

"Okay, okay, really, do you think I'm that clueless person?"

Fifth Uncle snorted, shook the mud off his shoes, and then stretched his limbs.

"You know what, I feel like I'm even healthier now than I was three years ago. It must be because you took good care of me during the three years I was in a coma."

Fifth Uncle attributed the credit to Fifth Aunt, unaware that it was all thanks to the vat of spiritual spring water they drank.

"It will be midnight by the time Yueyue and the others arrive in Shanghai. It's not good to eat anything too greasy at night. I'm planning to make some steamed buns and cook some noodles for them. I don't know if my in-laws will be used to it."

After cleaning the yard, Aunt Wu went to the side and washed her hands.

"Don't worry, honey. I guarantee that no one will dislike your cooking."

It's not that Uncle Wu is bragging, but everyone who has eaten Aunt Wu's cooking praises how delicious it is.

"Alright, stop joking around and come help me pick the vegetables."

Fifth Aunt smiled and went to the kitchen.

“Here you go, honey, leave the rolling out of the dough to me. Let me show off my skills to my in-laws and that boy.”

Fifth Uncle rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands, and walked excitedly towards the kitchen.

Fifth Aunt raised an eyebrow. "I wonder who was it yesterday who said that Si Nian had run away with Yue Yue and that they would starve her when she came? What, now they're going to show off their skills by making noodles?"

Fifth Uncle said with an unnatural expression, "I was just saying it casually. Besides, he's a guest, how can I let him go hungry? I... I have other methods and means to test him!"

Fifth Uncle's most stubborn thing was his mouth.

Although Song Jinyue and Fu Sinian are already married, Fifth Uncle still decided to test him properly this time to see if he is worthy of their Yue girl.

“Honey, let me tell you, when that kid arrives, you have to stand with me and give him a good test. Don’t be too enthusiastic on the first meeting, lest he think we’re easy to talk to and then bully Yue’er later.”

"Putting everything else aside, he should at least have the same charisma I had back in the day, right?"

Fifth Uncle was extremely narcissistic and used his younger self as a comparison.

Fifth Aunt's lips twitched. "I can't be bothered with you." The old couple bickered as they worked. Although they had no children, their lives were anything but boring.

As time ticked by, the closer it got to midnight, the more excited Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu became.

Song Jinyue had specifically told them yesterday not to go to the train station, but the elderly couple couldn't resist and went an hour early.

"Grandpa and Grandma, slow down and watch your step."

Fu Sinian and Song Jinyue each helped one of them off the train.

"We're here! We're finally here! I'll be able to see my old brother whom I've never met before!"

Like his fifth uncle, Grandpa Fu has been talking about the other person these past two days, thinking that he must have a chess match with him when they meet.

"Yes, Huilan and I got along very well on the phone. Now that we can finally meet, I have so much to say to her."

Lin Huilan was the name of Fifth Aunt. Fifth Aunt was about the same age as Grandma Fu. The two got along very well on the phone and were looking forward to meeting each other soon.

Seeing that they were in good spirits, Song Jinyue and Fu Sinian were finally relieved.

At first, they were worried that Grandpa Fu and Grandma Fu would not be able to handle such a long train ride, but now it seems that they were overthinking it.

"Wanhua, slow down."

Fu Shuwen carried his things in one hand and supported Tang Wanhua's arm with the other as he stepped off the train.

"Mom and Dad, are you both alright?"

Tang Wanhua smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yueyue, your dad and I are fine. Let's go back quickly, so that Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu won't be waiting anxiously at home."

Song Jinyue nodded. "Let's go, I'll take you home."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Fifth Uncle's excited voice came from ahead.

"Yue girl, here she is!"

Upon seeing Song Jinyue in the crowd, Fifth Uncle excitedly waved to her and quickly walked over with Fifth Aunt.

Upon seeing her fifth uncle and aunt approaching, Song Jinyue was both surprised and delighted, and ran towards them.

"Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt, what brings you here? Didn't we agree that you would wait at home?"

Late at night, Song Jinyue was worried that the two of them might not see the road clearly and trip or bump into something, so she specifically told them to wait at home yesterday.

"Shh, Yue girl, my older brother and the others are here too, so please stop nagging me and give me some face!"

Fifth Uncle worked hard to reach the Song Dynasty, and now he was exchanging glances with the Song.

Song Jinyue looked them up and down, and after confirming that the elderly couple was alright, she nodded, "Alright, alright, whatever you say."

"Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt, I miss you so much."

Song Jinyue reached out and hugged her fifth uncle and fifth aunt. The longing she had accumulated on the train journey had finally found its home.

"Good boy, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Fifth Aunt hugged Song Jinyue and patted her back.

“Yue girl, we missed you too. Your fifth aunt and I have been waiting for you for days and nights, and we’ve finally got you back.”

Fifth Uncle spoke with a slightly nasal tone, and upon seeing Song Jinyue, he couldn't help but tear up.

"Alright, alright, you were just trying to save face for me, why are you crying now?"

　My darlings, it's the last day! Please vote for me! Please vote for me! Please vote for me! Love you all, muah!
