After Fu Haozhe lay down, he actually fell asleep, not for long, about ten minutes. After that, he became energetic again. Chen Chuchu felt that he didn't get enough sleep, so she kept him lying down.

He felt so happy that he didn't get up. He just lay there obediently until lunch time.

The two went to the dining car to get some food and clothing. The train arrived on time and they got off on time.

The aunt and the elder sister followed them out of the station and watched the two of them being picked up before they took the bus back to Chen Chuchu's home.

This time, Chen Chuchu didn't tell her parents and came back on her own.

Their family lives in the compound of the General Military Medical Hospital. They used to live in a square meter, but later they were allocated a three-bedroom apartment.

It was almost four o'clock when I got home. When the people in the compound saw Chen Chuchu coming back, they greeted her enthusiastically. However, almost everyone's eyes were not on her, but on the imposing Fu Haozhe.

After they pass by, one comment is always: "This young man is so good-looking."

Every time at this time, Chen Chuchu would smile happily. The man she chose must be good-looking. She was obsessed with looks, and those who were not good-looking were not in her eyes.

Chen Chuchu has the key to her house, which her parents left for her, in case she returns home and no one is home. Last time she wrote to me, she said the lock was broken, so she specially put a key in the envelope and sent it to me.

She threw away the old one and replaced it with a new one.

Fu Haozhe took out the key and opened the door, then walked into the house carrying the things in his hand.

"Please sit down for a moment. I'm going to call my mom." Chen Chuchu sat on the sofa, picked up the phone, and dialed a number. "Hello! Mom! It's Chuchu. I'm back. I'm at home.

You know? Who told you? I just got home and I haven't even had a sip of water yet, and you know I'm back?

"Ah? Oh! Yes, he came with me and will stay at our house for two days. He will go back in the afternoon of the New Year. Yes, he is also from Kyoto. His name is Fu Haozhe, the head of the army. We met in the hospital. Oh my god! Come back soon, and we will talk when you come back."

Fu Haozhe next to him was a little nervous: "Chu Chu! Is mom not happy with me?"

"No." Chen Chuchu put down the phone. "I'll get you a basin of water to wash your face. I'll wash too. I haven't washed properly since I took the whole train ride."

"I don't wash my face, I take a bath."

Fu Haozhe was a very clean person. He felt really pent up during the time on the train, so when he got home, he had to take a thorough shower.

"I can't take a shower. I haven't heated up the water yet."

Chen Chuchu went to the kitchen to boil water for Fu Haozhe, but was stopped by him.

"No need to boil water, I'll use cold water to wash. Tell me where the bathroom is and I'll go wash right away. If you want to meet my mother-in-law, you have to wash yourself up anyway, otherwise it's impolite."

Chen Chuchu didn't stop him and pointed to the bathroom: "That's it, go ahead!"

Fu Haozhe took out his underwear from his bag, picked it up, and walked in leisurely. Looking at his calm and composed appearance, he seemed to be not at all shy and treated this place as his home.

He went to the bathroom and Chen Chuchu went to her room.

When she opened the door, she saw that the beds and furniture in the room were all covered with old quilts. Her mother was a doctor and was particularly particular about them.

She hasn't been home for a long time and is afraid that the furniture will be covered with dust.

Carefully take away the old quilt cover on top, open the big closet, take out the towel blanket at the bottom, and spread it on the mattress. Then take out the already wrapped quilt and put it in the bed.

I also took out the pillows I had put away and put them on top. Both the quilt and pillows had a smell as if they had been exposed to the sun. It smelled very nice and pleasant.

This is what mom tastes like.

After the bed was made, she went out to bring in Fu Haozhe's bag of clothes and put it on the desk. She didn't bring in the other bag, which contained cigarettes, alcohol, and some local specialties, which were gifts from him to his parents.

Fu Haozhe came out of the bathroom and Hu Yumei just arrived home. When they met, they were both stunned.

No one knew what to say, so Hu Yumei broke the silence first: "You are Chuchu's boyfriend, right?"

There was no other man in her family except the one her daughter brought home. Someone called her and said her daughter brought home a very good-looking man.

She doesn't look like a man and is prettier than a woman.

Now she took a closer look and saw that he was indeed handsome and extraordinary. He looked good, with a height, good looks, and a good figure, but he seemed quite old.

The key is to be easy-going and not consider yourself an outsider. Once you come home, you can do whatever you want without hesitation.

My daughter is really something. Even though it was such a big thing, she didn’t even call or write to tell me in advance. She just took the person back without saying a word.

When she received the call, she thought the other person was joking, but when she met the person, she confirmed that it was not a joke but real.

My daughter wasn’t like this before. She would tell them everything. How come she didn’t tell them about something as important as having a boyfriend?

This is no wonder. In her previous life, Chen Chuchu didn't like to tell her family about her own affairs. No matter what she encountered, she would bear it alone. This habit would naturally come out. It's not that she didn't want to talk about it, but she never thought about it at all.

"Yes! My name is Fu Haozhe. I am 26 years old this year. It will be the 27th after the Chinese New Year." Fu Haozhe wiped the water droplets from his hair, feeling a little embarrassed.

The first time I took a shower at Chuchu's house, I was caught by my mother-in-law. I was really wrong.

Hearing the voices, Chen Chuchu came out of the room. Hu Yumei looked at her and scolded her, "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were bringing someone back? Mom didn't even buy the vegetables."

"Whatever you say, there's nothing to say." Chen Chuchu walked over to Hu Yumei and took her arm. "Even if there's no vegetables at home, we can always have noodles! Let's have noodles tonight. It's a happy decision."

Hu Yumei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and tapped Chen Chuchu's forehead: "You, you, when will I love you anymore? It's a rare trip back home, how can you feed people noodles?"

Fu Haozhe watched the warm interaction between the mother and daughter and sat casually on the sofa: "Mom! It's okay. I don't care what I eat."

The word "Mom" made Hu Yumei's heart tremble and her eyes redden. The daughter she had raised for so many years was going to be taken away?

"mom!"

Chen Chuchu saw Hu Yumei's tears in her eyes, and she felt a little sad in her heart. She was the only child in the family, and maybe not even their biological child. But Hu Yumei never seemed to care and always raised her as her own child.

"We just eat noodles in the evening. We don't need to go shopping for groceries. We are a family and we eat whatever we can get."

"Hey! Okay! Then I'll go cook noodles."

Hu Yumei was about to go to the kitchen, but Chen Chuchu pulled her to sit down. "Mom! Don't worry, Dad isn't home yet. Let's cook after he comes back. If we cook it too early, it will get clumpy."

Hu Yumei thought about it and sat down in front of Fu Haozhe: "Are you serious about Chuchu? Does your family know about it? What if your family doesn't know the situation and jumps out to oppose it?"
