Chapter 114 The Two Families Meet

Song Jinyue looked at Fifth Uncle with a teasing expression.

"Who's crying? I just had some wind blowing into my eyes."

Fifth Uncle immediately retorted, turning around to wipe his eyes.

As the three were talking, Grandpa Fu and Grandma Fu walked over excitedly.

"Brother Jiang, we've finally met."

Jiang Qingsong was indeed the name of Fifth Uncle.

Upon seeing Grandpa Fu, the previously sentimental Fifth Uncle excitedly walked up to him and exclaimed, "Brother, we've finally been waiting for you!"

"Huilan".

"Sister Shuyin."

Grandma Fu and Fifth Aunt hit it off immediately and excitedly embraced each other upon meeting.

"Brother, I've heard from Yue that you're a skilled chess player. Now that we're here, we brothers must have a good match!"

At this point, Fifth Uncle had long forgotten Fifth Aunt's instructions and immediately started talking to Grandpa Fu about playing chess.

Grandpa Fu chuckled and said, "Good, good, to be honest, that's exactly what I was thinking too!"

Aunt Wu was busy catching up with Grandma Fu and didn't notice what was happening on Uncle Wu's side at all.

"Sister Shuyin, you have to tell me some tips on growing flowers this time, because the flowers I grow don't last long before they wither."

"No problem, I'm good at growing flowers."

The two held each other's hands, acting as intimately as old sisters who had known each other for many years.

"Fifth Uncle, Fifth Aunt."

Tang Wanhua and Fu Shuwen greeted each other with smiles, and Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt looked over at the two of them.

Tang Wanhua has a gentle and elegant appearance, while Fu Shuwen is dignified and polite; both of them are clearly reasonable people.

Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt had a very good first impression of the couple.

With such parents-in-law, Yueyue can finally rest easy.

"Wanhua, Shuwen, you've had a long and tiring journey."

"It's no trouble at all. I've wanted to visit Uncle and Aunt for a long time, but last time Si Nian had a mission and the army didn't give me much leave. I hope Uncle and Aunt will understand."

Tang Wanhua smiled, and her words were flawless.

"We're all family, so don't be so polite. You guys are really something, coming all this way and bringing nothing. Your fifth uncle and I don't need anything. We're already very happy that you came. Don't spend money like this next time."

Looking at the gift boxes Fu Shuwen was carrying in both hands, Fifth Aunt gave some instructions.

After greeting Tang Wanhua and Fu Shuwen, Fu Sinian, who was standing at the back, walked forward carrying his things.

"Fifth Uncle, Fifth Aunt, I am Fu Sinian. I am sorry to visit you so late."

Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt both turned their gazes to Fu Sinian and looked him up and down.

He was handsome, had a good temperament, and was humble and polite. The more Aunt Wu looked at him, the more satisfied she became. After seeing Fu Si Nian, she completely forgot what Uncle Wu had just told her.

"It's alright, Si Nian. Your fifth uncle and I know you're busy. Work is important."

Aunt Wu smiled broadly, not minding at all that Fu Sinian and Song Jinyue had only come to visit them several months after their marriage.

Standing to the side, Song Jinyue raised an eyebrow. This man really could charm both young and old; he had successfully won over Fifth Aunt after only one meeting.

Although Fifth Uncle wasn't as enthusiastic as Fifth Aunt, he still said very understandingly, "It's good that you're here."

"Come on, let's go home. You must be starving after such a long train ride. I've prepared some steamed buns and local-style noodles for you. I don't know if you'll like them."

Tang Wanhua laughed and said, "I've heard Yueyue say that Fifth Aunt is a great cook. We're in for a treat!" The family chatted and laughed as they walked toward the train station exit.

Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt, along with Grandpa Fu and Grandma Fu, walked in front, while Song Jinyue and Fu Sinian walked at the back.

"It seems that Fifth Aunt is quite satisfied with you. Now you can rest assured, right?"

Song Jinyue looked up at Fu Sinian, who had a calm expression.

Fu Sinian grabbed Song Jinyue's hand, "Really?"

"Are you serious? Your hands are sweating from nervousness??"

Upon feeling the dampness in her palm, Song Jinyue's almond-shaped eyes widened in shock.

So all that confident and composed demeanor just now was an act?
Fu Sinian lowered his head and explained, "It's the first time I'm meeting your family, and I'm afraid they won't have a good impression of me."

"Now you can rest assured. Based on my understanding of Fifth Aunt, she is very satisfied with you as her grandson-in-law."

Song Jinyue scratched Fu Sinian's palm to reassure him.

"What about Fifth Uncle?"

Fu Sinian couldn't figure out his fifth uncle's attitude towards him. Although Song Jinyue said that his fifth aunt was very satisfied with him, he still couldn't put his mind at ease.

"Fifth Uncle, he's just an arrogant old man. Even if he's satisfied with you, he won't say much. Based on my understanding of him, he'll probably test you again in the next couple of days."

It has to be said, Song Jinyue is right.

Ever since he learned that they would be coming to his house during the National Day holiday, Fifth Uncle had already planned to give Fu Sinian a good test when he met him.

Afraid of forgetting, he even wrote down the things that were going to be tested in a small notebook.

"A test?" Fu Sinian pursed his lips. "I'm not afraid. As long as I pass the test and gain Fifth Uncle's approval, I will complete it no matter how difficult it is."

The division commander said that when he visited his sister-in-law's family, he was also put to the test by his father-in-law.

Seeing Fu Sinian's serious expression, Song Jinyue chuckled, "Don't look so bitter and resentful. Don't worry, I'm here for you. I'll help you sound out Fifth Uncle when we get back."

Song Jinyue winked at him.

Her floral dress fluttered in the wind, resembling a blooming rose under the bright moonlight, captivating and enchanting.

Fu Sinian's eyes were deep and he tightened his grip on Song Jinyue's large hand. "Okay, I'll rely on my wife for the next two days."

The two walked forward hand in hand, the moonlight shining on them and elongating their shadows as they nestled together.

After returning home, Aunt Wu brought the steamed buns from the kitchen.

My fifth aunt put the steamed buns in the steamer before we left, and they're still warm.

"Shuyin, Wanhua, you two have some steamed buns to fill your stomachs first, I'll go cook some noodles."

"Fifth Aunt, don't bother, there's enough for us. Please sit down."

"It's alright, everything is ready. Just cook the noodles. You guys eat first, don't worry about me."

Fifth Aunt went to the kitchen as she spoke.

"Brother, please eat first. I'll come over and help out. Make yourself at home here, please don't be shy."

Fifth Uncle greeted Grandpa Fu and then went to the kitchen to help.

"Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, come and try Aunt Wu's cooking."

Song Jinyue looked at them expectantly, having great confidence in her fifth aunt's cooking skills.

Under her expectant gaze, Tang Wanhua and the others picked up a small steamed bun, and their eyes lit up the moment they put it in their mouths.

"Yueyue, this is so delicious!"
