Shen Junjie and Fu Lingyao's relationship has been progressing very well. When Shen Junjie was taking Fu Lingyao home...
As Luo Yushu and Fu Changbo happened to run into him, Shen Junjie met his future mother-in-law and father-in-law.
Fu Lingyao, sitting in the car, froze, looking at her parents with embarrassment.
Sitting next to her, Shen Junjie saw Fu Lingyao greeting a middle-aged couple.
Looking at Fu Lingyao's appearance, which does resemble a man's somewhat, Shen Junjie immediately understood.
After getting out of the car and greeting Mr. and Mrs. Fu, Luo Yushu looked at the tall man walking towards her, just as her son had said.
He was extremely satisfied. His father thought the same thing. She was good-looking, and she had earned her current position through her own hard work.
Shen Junjie got out of the car, opened the door for Fu Lingyao, and headed towards the couple.
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt, I am Shen Junjie. It's a pleasure to meet you both today."
As the man introduced himself, the two men hurriedly invited him to go home together. They reasoned that since the neighbors were watching them from the alley entrance, it would be better to go home and talk later.
“My house is just ahead. Let’s go inside and talk. It’s still quite cold outside. Lingyao, take Xiao Shen inside and talk.”
When Aunt Chang, the neighbor next door, saw the man next to Fu Lingyao, she stood there curiously watching them. "Yushu, is this your relative? He's really handsome. Does he have a boyfriend?"
Luo Yushu looked at Aunt Chang, feeling pleased that her daughter had made her proud today, and spoke to Aunt Chang in a cheerful mood.
"This is my good-for-nothing daughter, Ling Yao's boyfriend. We just ran into her when I took her home."
"Wow! Ling Yao has such good taste. This time it seems to be a military officer." Luo Yushu, like a proud mother hen, went home.
She opened the door and went into the yard, looked at her husband, and burst out laughing.
"It's so satisfying. She used to be so mean to me, but now that she's standing next to Ling Yao in military uniform, she's getting jealous again."
"Hey! Alright, is it really worth arguing with her every day?"
"I'm going to take this rare opportunity to make her furious and relieve the suffering I've endured in the past."
"You women really have too much free time."
Seeing that her daughter hadn't come in, she peeked out at the intersection again. "Yaoyao, hurry up and come in with Xiao Shen, it's quite cold outside."
Fu Lingyao's nerves, which had just short-circuited, finally came to their senses. Hearing what her mother said, she quickly replied, "Oh, I know."
Seeing Shen Junjie looking at the man somewhat embarrassedly, she said, "Let's go!"
Shen Junjie happened to have some pastries, cigarettes, and alcohol in his car, so he wouldn't have to go empty-handed. He planned to use them to present to Uncle Mo and Aunt Mo today.
He asked Fu Lingyao to wait for him, took out the pastries he had bought, and led her to his future father-in-law's house.
Fu Lingyao looked at the things the man was carrying with a surprised expression.
"What, are you curious about the things I have in my car? These are what I was planning to take to the Mo family. This is just what I need. I'll go to the Mo family another day."
Fu Lingyao was at a loss for what to do; this was something they hadn't expected.
My parents usually come back via a different route, but today they happened to take this route.
When we arrived at the Fu family's house, it was a courtyard house with one entrance. It was warm inside the house instantly.
When Fu's mother saw Shen Junjie carrying things, she said, "Little Shen, we invited you to our house, and you're carrying things with you."
"Aunt Fu, I apologize for disturbing you today. I will definitely pay you a formal visit next time."
Shen Junjie talked to Fu's father about his family situation and learned about his family's special circumstances.
There are no elders in the family for the time being, so my daughter is very comfortable there. Although she is a few years older, she has absolutely no problem with her speech and manners.
Fu Changbo sighed that his daughter had just stumbled upon the right person by sheer luck, and that she had changed a lot recently.
Today, my daughter and future son-in-law were seen by the neighbors, which really made them proud.
Look at those gossipers still nagging on and on, saying how old they are and still want to find someone with good conditions.
Don't you realize how old you are? If you don't find someone soon, you'll be an old maid, and you might end up stuck with her!
Look at everyone's expressions when they looked at Shen Junjie; that's what makes him look good.
Aunt Chang felt very resentful when she got home. She was already an old maid, and the other woman had found someone with very good conditions, who was also a military officer. This made her feel uncomfortable.
Why is it that the Fu family's daughter is so lucky to meet such a well-off man, but he isn't her son-in-law?
I'm feeling extremely resentful being at home like this. Fu Lingyao is really lucky. I'll figure out a way to steal her away later.
Let's see if Luo Yushu is still so arrogant. She might have to avoid me from now on.
Shen Junjie stayed at the Fu family's house for a while, then checked the time and hurried back, not staying any longer.
This was an unexpected event; we can have a proper talk during a future formal visit.
Shen Junjie saw that Fu Lingyao was indicating that he had to go back, so he got up and said goodbye to Fu's parents.
"Uncle and Aunt, that's all for today. I have to go back to work later. I'll visit you properly another day."
Hearing that they still had to work their shifts, I quickly got up and told them to go back.
"Then we won't keep you here today. Let's arrange a time to talk again next time."
After Shen Junjie left, the unsuspecting neighbors all came over to ask what the departing officer did.
Aunt Tong looked at Fu Lingyao and asked, "Little Yao, Little Yao, what was that man doing just now? I think he was a soldier. Is everything alright in your family?"
"Auntie, that's my boyfriend."
"Oh, he's really handsome!"
Fu Lingyao smiled faintly and hurried home. When she got home, Luo Yushu was happily holding his daughter's hand.
"Yaoyao, today really put my mind at ease after all these years. Look, Aunt Chang is already rushing back home. I'll see how she dares to swagger around in front of me now. I really can't stand her son-in-law."
"Your mom really made a name for herself today. Xiao Shen is quite good, so it's settled."
Fu Lingyao nodded shyly, "It's decided, he's the one."
"Okay, did he say where he'll be living in the future? You'll still need to consider this when you go to work."
“He said he has a house in Houhai. If I want to live there, I can go and take the house. If I don’t want to live there, I can stay in the military compound.”
Hearing that the two had discussed their future plans, they felt much more at ease and now they were just waiting to prepare their daughter's dowry.
Shen Junjie went straight back to the army, in a good mood, thinking that he should take advantage of his days off to visit the Fu family.
He was discussing the wedding with Aunt Mo and the others, and he couldn't wait for that day to arrive.
Judging from the tone of that neighbor lady's voice, it's clear she used to hear sarcastic remarks all the time. It just goes to show that there are all kinds of people in a big family.
