"When Sisi went to the department store before, she bought you a set of clothes. It's on the far right shelf of the wardrobe."
"After you shower, just put it on and shave."
Huo Tingzhou hummed in agreement, "Understood, Grandma."
Once everyone had gone upstairs, Grandma Huo gave the old man a light punch in annoyance.
"Why did you scare him for no reason? The third son is just a bit old, but he can still be presentable if he tidies himself up."
Grandma Huo wasn't just bragging when she said that.
All the children in the family are good-looking. The third child is just a bit older, but in terms of appearance, he is absolutely perfect.
"I'm just worried about him."
In the heat of the moment, the old man blurted out what he had been keeping to himself.
"Hey, you have no idea how many people were trying to steal Lao San's girlfriend a while ago."
What?
Someone is trying to steal the third brother's wife.
"Who is it? Which shameless person is trying to steal the third brother's girlfriend? I'll make sure they pay!"
The old man, sensing he had said the wrong thing, frantically waved his hands.
"Those old guys didn't really say they were going to break in; it was just that they ran into her the day Si Yatou arrived..."
The old man spoke softer and softer as he went on, especially the last sentence.
"They didn't know she was the third son's wife, so they asked me about her, wanting to introduce her to their children."
As soon as the words "old man" were uttered, Grandma Huo instantly locked onto her target.
"Is it Old Li? If it's not Old Li, it's Old Wang."
The old man dared not say who it was, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Don't worry, I've already explained it to them. It's just that the young couple hasn't held a banquet yet, and quite a few people in the compound have been asking about it."
In those days, it was fashionable to get married and register in the city; in the countryside, people mostly just held a banquet.
The young couple had previously lived far away on Qiongzhou Island, and they said they wouldn't hold a banquet.
The old man meant that now that both of them are back, why don't we ask them?
If you agree, we'll have a simple banquet.
Firstly, it will prevent others from gossiping behind your back.
Secondly, they didn't want to make things difficult for the youngest couple.
Grandma Huo didn't object. "Okay, I'll ask them when they come back tonight."
The two were so engrossed in their conversation that neither noticed Huo Tingzhou on the second floor had already stopped walking.
He wasn't deliberately eavesdropping; it was just that when he heard the old man say something about "stealing someone's partner," he was deeply moved.
My feet stopped involuntarily.
He didn't say anything at the time, but he became particularly serious as he tidied himself up.
He even used soap once, which was unprecedented for him, when washing his face.
After taking a shower, I carefully shaved off my newly grown stubble and then tidied myself up in front of the full-length mirror for a while.
Huo Tingzhou then changed into the new clothes that Jiang Si had bought for him.
He usually wears his air force uniform, and this is the first time he has ever worn a neat and tidy Zhongshan suit.
When I went downstairs, I saw my grandparents staring at me with wide eyes.
Aside from feeling a little uncomfortable, Huo Tingzhou was mostly filled with apprehension.
