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

Chapter 135 Surprise
Song Jinyue rested at home for two days, but couldn't stay idle, so she went to the hospital again.

Seeing that she was in good spirits, Lin Xiaoxiao was finally relieved.

The other doctors and directors who were also involved in developing the drug and vaccine also came to the hospital after a two-day break and quickly got back to work, observing the condition of the soldiers undergoing clinical trials.

After one round of clinical trials is completed, the number of participants in the next round of clinical trials will be increased.

After all the military personnel had been vaccinated, there were no new cases.

Other people who contracted the flu also gradually recovered after taking the medication.

According to statistics, only a dozen or so people out of tens of thousands experienced abnormal reactions, but they all recovered after receiving intravenous fluids.

This statistic delighted the dean and others, who immediately reported the data to their superiors and began large-scale research and development of drugs and vaccines.

In the past, Fu Sinian would usually return from a mission in about half a month, but this time it has been almost a month and there is still no news.

The original plan was to hold the wedding banquet in Beijing during the Chinese New Year, but that plan will have to be postponed for now.

With no news from Fu Sinian, Song Jinyue couldn't help but worry. To avoid overthinking, she could only keep herself busy and use work to numb her mind.

With the large-scale production of medicines and vaccines, hospitals and clinics in various regions have successively vaccinated local residents and put medicines that can treat the flu on the shelves.

People who have been cooped up at home for months can finally return to normal life.

Knowing that Fu Sinian had gone out on a mission and there had been no news since, Song Jinyue, alone in the army, inevitably started to overthink. Her fifth uncle and aunt, who had been vaccinated, wanted to come to Qiongzhou Island to take care of her, but Song Jinyue refused.

It was such a hassle to come all this way. They felt sorry for Song Jinyue, and Song Jinyue felt sorry for them too.

Tang Wanhua and Grandma Fu also had this idea, but without exception, they were all rejected by Song Jinyue.

She believed that Fu Sinian would definitely come back, and once he returned, they could go back to Beijing together to reunite with their families.

Lunar New Year's Eve arrived in the blink of an eye, and there was still no news from Fu Sinian.

To prevent her from overthinking, Lin Xiaoxiao stayed with her the whole time, intending to spend the New Year's Eve with her.

Today they were off work. After packing their things, Lin Xiaoxiao took Song Jinyue's arm and left the hospital, following her towards the family compound.

"Jin Yue, I have to show you my skills today. The dumpling filling I made is incredibly delicious. You'll have to do me the honor of eating twenty of them later!"

Song Jinyue said helplessly, "Twenty? You're overestimating me. I usually feel stuffed after eating ten."

Lin Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise, "Ten? That's too few! No wonder you're so thin. I need to eat at least fifteen. Even if I can't eat twenty, you need to eat at least twelve tonight!"

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say. I'll eat twelve, alright?"

Lin Xiaoxiao immediately beamed and said, "That's more like it."

Lin Xiaoxiao is a total goofball. To make Song Jinyue happy, she racks her brains to tell her all sorts of interesting things.

The two returned to the residential compound chatting and laughing. When the aunties and sisters-in-law in the compound saw Song Jinyue, they all invited her to their homes for dinner that evening, but Song Jinyue declined their kind invitations one by one.

Lin Xiaoxiao assured her that with her there, Song Jinyue would never go hungry.

The family compound is inhabited by family members and military personnel, and they don't lock their doors even when they're not home during the day.

Upon arriving at their doorstep, Song Jinyue and Lin Xiaoxiao pushed the door open and went inside.

Hearing faint sounds coming from inside the house, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately became alert.

"Jin Yue, there seems to be someone inside. Could it be that we've been robbed?"

This was the first thought that popped into her head.

If Fu Sinian had returned, he would have gone to the hospital to pick up Song Jinyue immediately. Clearly, the person inside wasn't him. Before Song Jinyue could even hear clearly, the voices inside disappeared again.

Song Jinyue pursed her lips. "It's okay, you can stay behind me."

"Jin Yue, you, you, wait a minute!"

As she spoke, Lin Xiaoxiao ran to the side and grabbed a stick. She followed Song Jinyue warily and tiptoed into the house.

When she arrived at the door of the main room, Lin Xiaoxiao swallowed hard, grabbed the stick with both hands, and pushed the door open.

"You audacious thieves! You even dare to steal from the family compound! You must have a death wish!"

As the door was pushed open, Lin Xiaoxiao shouted angrily. Aunt Wu and Tang Wanhua, who were sitting at the table making dumplings, looked up. Uncle Wu, who was boiling water in the kitchen, also peeked over after hearing the noise.

The moment the five pairs of eyes met, the air instantly fell silent.

"Mom, Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt, what brings you here?"

Coming to her senses, Song Jinyue was both surprised and delighted, looking at the three of them in disbelief.

Lin Xiaoxiao stiffly turned her head to look at Song Jinyue, "Jinyue, they... are your family??"

Song Jinyue introduced them to her: "This is my fifth great-uncle and fifth great-aunt, and this is my mother-in-law."

Aunt Wu and Tang Wanhua finally came to their senses and, seeing the stick in Lin Xiaoxiao's hand, realized that they had been mistaken for thieves.

They exchanged a smile, then looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and said, "This must be Xiaoxiao, right? I often hear Jin Yue mention you. Come in quickly, the dumplings will be ready soon."

Lin Xiaoxiao quickly threw the stick away and smiled sheepishly, "Fifth Aunt, Auntie, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's embarrassed expression, Fifth Aunt and Tang Wanhua laughed.

"Mom, Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt, what brings you here?"

After the initial shock, Song Jinyue felt nothing but joy.

Although she didn't want her fifth uncle and the others to cause trouble, she was happy to see them here after three months.

“Yueyue, this is the first New Year you’ve spent with Si Nian since you married him. Si Nian is away on a mission and can’t come back. How could we bear to let you spend the New Year alone?”

Tang Wanhua explained with a smile.

Knowing that Song Jinyue didn't want them to cause trouble, Tang Wanhua and her fifth uncle and aunt discussed it but didn't tell her, thinking of secretly coming over to give her a surprise.

When you want to see someone, no distance feels far.

"Mom, Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt, thank you for coming all this way."

When Song Jinyue saw her family, her eyes were red; it would be a lie to say she wasn't moved.

"Yue girl, I already told you that your fifth aunt and I are in good health. So what if we travel by train and ship for a few days? You really underestimate us."

Uncle Wu, who had been complaining of back pain after getting off the train, felt no pain in his back or waist after seeing Song Jinyue. He was more than willing to sit on the train for half a month, let alone for several days, just to see Song Jinyue.

Song Jinyue burst into laughter through her tears, "Fifth Uncle is right, I underestimated you all."

"Yueyue, Xiaoxiao, go wash your hands. I'll cook a few more dishes. You two have been working hard lately, so eat more to nourish yourselves."

Aunt Wu, having finished rolling out the dumpling wrappers, got up and said that since it was Chinese New Year, she planned to cook a few more dishes to have a proper reunion dinner.
