"Mom! I'm serious. I only have one grandfather in my family. It doesn't matter if other people know about it or not." Fu Haozhe explained his family situation in detail. "My grandfather has been looking forward to my marriage. He won't object."
After hearing this, Hu Yumei felt sad, thinking that Fu Haozhe had a hard time. His biological mother passed away when he was just over one year old, and he grew up with his grandparents. His stepmother had her own son and daughter to take care of, so how could she have the energy to take care of him?
"Can you make your own decisions?" Hu Yumei asked seriously, "Where will you live after you get married? Will you be transferred back to Kyoto?"
After all, she only has this one daughter, and marriage is no joke, so she must ask for details before marriage. It would be terrible if a lot of troubles arise after marriage.
Chen Chuchu sat aside without saying a word, letting Fu Haozhe answer. It was the mother-in-law's right to question her son-in-law. Although she knew Fu Haozhe's plan, she didn't want to say a word to help, lest her mother think she was being disloyal.
Fu Haozhe nodded solemnly: "I basically make my own decisions. My stepmother doesn't care about me, and my father can't control me. My grandmother passed away, and my grandfather wanted me to get married quickly.
Chuchu and I's marriage is entirely my own decision. We will live in the military's family compound after we get married. I have submitted an application report and it will be approved after the Chinese New Year.
I don't have any special needs. I don't want to go back to Kyoto in my lifetime. It's good to stay in the army."
Fearing that Hu Yumei would worry, Chen Chuchu added, "Mom! Haozhe means that he doesn't want to have anything to do with his family."
Hu Yumei understood what she meant and held her daughter's hand: "You can make your own decisions about your own affairs. It's okay if you don't stay in Kyoto. Mom has no objection."
Fu Haozhe's eyes relaxed a little. His mother-in-law agreed, and it was not difficult to deal with his father-in-law. Chuchu said that the mother-in-law basically made the decisions on family matters.
My mother-in-law has agreed, so why would my father-in-law have any objections?
Even if you have opinions, you have to keep them to yourself.
"There are two types of housing for family members in the army: one is a building and the other is a bungalow."
Fu Haozhe had never mentioned the house to Chen Chuchu, and had already made up his mind to go back to Kyoto to discuss it with his mother-in-law. The elderly were old and could think things through more comprehensively.
"The building was recently built, and the bungalow was built a long time ago. It's older, but it has a yard and is more spacious. Chuchu! Do you think we should choose the building or the bungalow?"
Hu Yumei didn't say anything, just looked at her daughter, waiting for her decision. However, Fu Haozhe looked at his mother-in-law intentionally or unintentionally, hoping that she would give him some advice.
"I want a bungalow. I like the yard." Chen Chuchu blurted out without thinking, "A building has stairs. I'm tired enough working every day. I have to go upstairs again when I get home. I don't want that."
Hu Yumei smiled and said, "You are still as naughty as when you were little. Then we need a bungalow. When your father and I have time, we can come visit you and stay for a few days."
"Great, I will definitely prepare your room." Chen Chuchu leaned on Hu Yumei's shoulder, "Mom! Haozhe said that the wedding will be held on May 1st. Don't you think it's a bit rushed?"
Hearing this, Fu Haozhe's heart was in his throat. After the New Year, it would be February soon, and there would be only three months until May Day. His prospective son-in-law had just shown up today, and he would marry her daughter in three months. Would he be reluctant to let her go?
If you are reluctant, you have to postpone it. Does it have to be postponed to November 11th?
"Are you really planning to get married on May 1st?" Hu Yumei looked at Fu Haozhe, "Where?"
"force."
Fu Haozhe clasped his hands together and exerted force secretly. He was really a little nervous. His throat felt very dry and his voice was hoarse. But for his own happiness, he had to force himself to calm down.
"The weather on May Day is good, not too cold or too hot. I will take grandpa to the army to live for a while. If nothing unexpected happens, he will live with us in the future. I am worried about leaving him to my father and my stepmother, fearing that they can't take good care of him."
Hu Yumei agreed: "It is right to respect the elderly. It is not easy for your grandparents to raise you. You should be filial to them when they are old."
"Thank you, Mom!"
Fu Haozhe was sincerely grateful. He was originally worried that she would have some opinions. With a grandfather in the family, Chuchu would definitely be busier than when it was just the two of them. Plus, she was newly married, so who wouldn't feel sorry for her daughter as a mother?
The fact that she can say this and not care about it shows how broad-minded my mother-in-law is.
"What's there to thank me for? It's just that Chuchu rarely does housework at home. If you don't take good care of her, don't blame her. Teach her more." Hu Yumei hugged her daughter lovingly, her eyes reddened. "Her father and I only have this one daughter. You can't bully her."
"No, I swear." Fu Haozhe raised his hand solemnly, "Chu Chu is the person I have waited for many years. I will never bully her even if I bully anyone else. I know she is not very good at doing housework, but it doesn't matter, I can do these things.
I have been used to helping my grandma since I was little. I can cook, wash clothes, buy groceries, and cook. I am at home, and that’s all I need.”
A voice came from outside the door: "I like to hear that. As a man, you should contribute more to the family when you can."
Fu Haozhe turned around and saw that it was Chen Yuan who came back. His facial features were really similar to Liu Fusheng's, even the position of the mole was almost the same.
Chen Chuchu had mentioned this to him before. He had met Liu Fusheng once. Now looking at Chen Yuan again, he felt that the two were too similar.
"You're back? Then stay and talk. I'll go to the kitchen to cook."
Hu Yumei stood up, and Chen Chuchu poured a glass of water for Chen Yuan and handed it to him.
Chen Yuan didn't answer. He looked at her with a gloomy face and angrily said, "Chu Chu! You brought him back suddenly, planning to kill him first and ask for permission later? Aren't you afraid that Dad will disagree?"
"Dad!" Chen Chuchu acted like a spoiled child, put her hand in his, pulled him to sit down, pointed at Fu Haozhe, "He is the best son-in-law I can find for you. If you don't agree, then I can't do anything.
If anyone introduces me to someone in the future, I won’t agree unless Fu Haozhe offers such a condition. Think about it carefully! If I become an old maid, it’s not my fault, it’s all your fault. "
This shameless threat made Fu Haozhe confused. Why was Chuchu so arrogant at home? She was so optimistic about him. It turned out that she was the one he had been waiting for. She was partial to him.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault." Chen Yuan took a sip of water and pretended to be dissatisfied and complained with a smile, "Why didn't you write home to tell me? Or you could have called in advance!"
"I'm busy." Chen Chuchu got up and ran away. "I'm going to the kitchen to help my mother cook."
"This child is still as naughty as she was when she was little." Chen Yuan said the words of blame, but his face was full of doting, "My daughter has always had her own ideas. You have to bear with her in the future."
Fu Haozhe smiled, with the same doting expression on his face as Chen Yuan: "You can only accomplish great things if you have ideas. Chuchu is now a key figure in the military hospital. How can someone who is submissive and cautious do that?"
