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

Chapter 55 His Duty is Loyalty

Grandpa and Grandma Fu happily led Song Jinyue back into the house, leaving Fu Sinian standing alone in the yard with his things.

Fu Sinian had anticipated this scene.

He knew that his family would like Yueyue very much.

When Fu Sinian returned to the house carrying his things, Grandma Fu had already taken out the red envelopes she had prepared in advance.

"Yueyue, quick, take this. This is a gift that your grandparents prepared for you."

As she spoke, she stuffed the red envelope into Song Jinyue's hand.

Looking at the thick red envelope stuffed into her hand, Song Jinyue quickly declined, "Grandma, this is too much, I don't want it, you and Grandpa can keep it for yourselves."

The largest denomination of money in those days was ten yuan, so such a thick red envelope as a gift was too precious.

“Take it. Your grandfather and I receive more than two hundred yuan in retirement pensions each month, which is more than we can spend.”

Grandma Fu pushed the red envelope towards Song Jinyue again.

"Grandma, I really don't want it, I have money." And there were many more.

“That’s different. Your money is yours. This is a gift from your grandfather and me to you. You must accept it.”

Grandma Fu has never failed when it comes to slipping money to people.

Seeing the scene of them pushing and shoving each other, Fu Sinian said, "Yueyue, since it's a gift from your grandparents, you should take it."

After all, there will be many more occasions like this where money is handed out in the future; you'll get used to it.

“Si Nian is right, keep it. I gave it to your sister-in-law when she came to visit.”

Hearing that both his elder and younger sisters-in-law had some, Song Jinyue put them away.

But what she didn't know was that the amount in the red envelope she held was five times that of Shen Jiaxue and the others.

Having grown up by her side since childhood, among her four grandsons, Grandma Fu favored Fu Sinian the most.

In addition, Grandma Fu had met Song Jinyue once before, and she liked her from the bottom of her heart.

Grandma Fu would give more money to whoever she liked the most.

However, even if the gifts given to Shen Jiaxue and the others were not as many as those given to Song Jin, they were still unique.

Two hundred yuan is equivalent to more than half a year's wages for an ordinary worker.

My grandparents gave me two hundred yuan as a gift just for our first meeting. Who wouldn't be envious if word got out?

"Grandpa, Grandma, these are things that Yueyue just picked out for you at the department store."

"You silly child, why do you buy things when you come to your own home? Don't spend money like that next time."

Although she said some reproachful words, Grandma Fu's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter after learning that Song Jinyue had specially chosen these things for them.

She's beautiful, has strong moral values, a good personality, and is filial. Oh my, Si Nian has really struck gold!

When Grandma Fu learned that Song Jinyue already had a fiancé, she said that Fu Sinian was unlucky. Little did she know that good fortune was yet to come!

Ever since Song Jinyue and Fu Sinian arrived at their home, Grandpa Fu and Grandma Fu's smiles have never faded, and before they knew it, it was noon.

"Yueyue, come on, your parents should be back by now. Are you hungry? Let's go eat."

Grandma Fu took Song Jinyue's hand and led her towards the door.

Song Jinyue touched her stomach, which was already full from eating fruit and snacks, with a helpless expression.

There's a kind of hunger that only your grandma can tell you.

Previously, Grandpa Fu and Grandma Fu lived with Dad Fu and Mom Fu, but after retiring, they preferred a quieter place and bought this house.

I usually cook at home, but on weekends I go over with my whole family to eat together.

Grandma Fu walked ahead, arm in arm with Song Jinyue, chatting and laughing, while Fu Sinian and Grandpa Fu walked behind them.

"Good lad, you've finally come to your senses! Yueyue is a wonderful child, your grandma and I both like her very much. You must treat her well from now on. If my granddaughter-in-law suffers any injustice, I won't let you off the hook!"

"I understand, Grandpa. Yueyue is the wife I finally managed to marry, and I won't let her suffer any injustice."

Grandpa Fu glanced at him and said with satisfaction, "That's more like it." In the past, whenever he mentioned Fu Sinian's marriage, Fu Sinian would change the subject. It was rare for the two of them to be together and talk about these things.

Looking at Song Jinyue's bright profile in front of him, Fu Sinian suddenly looked at Grandpa Fu with a serious expression.

"Grandpa, how did you and Grandma cultivate your relationship after you got married?"

Grandpa Fu was stunned for a moment before realizing that although Fu Sinian and Song Jinyue were already married, they had only known each other for a short time and hadn't spent much time together, so their feelings for each other weren't that deep yet.

Essentially, it's no different from him and his wife; they all got married first and then developed feelings for each other.

Grandpa Fu and Grandma Fu had a very good relationship. Even though they had been together for decades, their feelings for each other had not been diminished by the trivialities of life. On the contrary, their affection for each other had only grown stronger.

I originally thought that Grandpa Fu would give me a long lecture on his experience, but he only said one sentence to Fu Sinian.

"The most important thing for a couple to have a deep and lasting relationship is to never lie or deceive each other."

If even the most basic things can't be done, cracks will inevitably appear in the relationship between the two sooner or later.

Fu Sinian nodded.

This is not difficult for him.

His duty as a soldier is to be loyal.

Grandma Fu lives not far from the Fu family home; it's only a ten-minute walk away.

Tang Wanhua's workplace was closest to her home, so she was the first to return.

"Wanhua, come out quickly and see who's here."

Upon hearing Grandma Fu's voice, Tang Wanhua, who was about to wash the vegetables, came out. She was stunned when she saw Song Jinyue, and only after seeing Fu Sinian walking in behind her did she belatedly guess her identity.

"You are... Yueyue?"

Tang Wanhua was both surprised and delighted, and she rushed forward in three steps.

"Mom, it's me."

Song Jinyue called out with a smile.

Tang Wanhua was so overwhelmed by the sudden surprise that even the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes showed a few more lines due to her excitement.

"Alright, alright, good child, come inside and sit down. Your dad and the others will be back soon. What would you like to eat? Mom isn't a very good cook, so I'll have your dad cook when he gets back."

Tang Wanhua affectionately took Song Jinyue's arm; she never boasted about her culinary skills.

"Mom, I'm fine with anything. I ate a lot at Grandma's house and I'm not hungry at all."

"Those are just snacks, they can't be eaten as a meal. Yueyue is too thin, eat more later."

Grandma Fu and Tang Wanhua each took Song Jinyue's arm and led her back to the living room.

As they were talking, Fu Shuwen returned. Upon learning that his son had brought his daughter-in-law home, the usually calm and serious man put on a smile.

Upon learning that Song Jinyue had not eaten yet, Fu Shuwen put down his briefcase and immediately went to the kitchen.

In order to get Song Jinyue to eat as soon as possible, Grandpa Fu and Fu Sinian also stepped forward, ready to show off their skills.

A short while later, Fu Shi'an and Xie Yiran returned. They greeted Song Jinyue with a mixture of surprise and delight. Although Song Jinyue was not as old as the two of them, the two of them called her "Third Sister-in-law" so naturally.

Tang Wanhua, Grandma Fu, and Xie Yiran sat on the sofa talking to Song Jinyue. Fu Shian, a grown man, couldn't get a word in edgewise, so he went to the kitchen.

Although his cooking skills came from his mother, and the food he made could only guarantee that it wouldn't kill anyone, he could still wash vegetables.

Shen Jiaxue, who had just returned from the hospital, heard laughter coming from the living room as soon as she entered the door. She frowned and walked over in confusion.

"Mom, I'm back."

Upon hearing her voice, Tang Wanhua and the others turned to look at the door.

"You're back. Have the test results come back yet? What did the doctor say? Is the baby alright?"

Upon hearing the test report, Shen Jiaxue tightened her grip on her bag.
