The day before the Chinese New Year, Chen Guoxing finally arrived in Beijing.
"Dad, this way!"
Yan Ziyuan waved at him at the exit.
"Where's Fu Yu?"
"It was too cold, so I didn't let her come over."
Song Fuyu originally planned to come and pick him up, but when she was about to leave, snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky. Yan Ziyuan knew that she was afraid of the cold, so he immediately drove her back to the house and stopped her from following him out.
"Jing City is much colder than our Heng City."
"Please give me your luggage first. Fu Yu asked me to get you a military coat."
Now, the clothes Chen Guoxing wears all year round are made by Song Fuyu herself. She knows the thickness of his clothes best. It is not cold to wear them in Heng City, but it is still a bit chilly in Jing City.
"My daughter is really thoughtful."
When he heard that it was Song Fuyu who asked him to take it, Chen Guoxing took the clothes without hesitation and put them on quickly.
"Let's go. It'll take a while to get to my house."
Song Fuyu was also busy at home, helping to prepare dinner in the kitchen.
She and Chen Guoxing both prefer spicy food, while the Yan family generally prefers sweeter food, so she plans to make two spicy dishes to satisfy their cravings.
"Aunt, uncle is back."
As soon as the car stopped outside the door, Zhao Xiaohai immediately ran to the kitchen to inform her.
"Thank you, Xiao Hai~"
She washed her hands, untied her apron, and left the kitchen.
Chen Guoxing in the car adjusted his collar.
Today was the first time he met his future in-laws as Fu Yu's father.
He also knew about the Yan family's situation before coming. When the car drove all the way to the military compound and stopped at the gate for inspection and registration of information, he couldn't help but sigh at the high status of the Yan family.
Although the Yan family is well-off, he is not timid.
Even though there has been a saying since ancient times that couples should be well matched, in his eyes, his daughter is the best girl in the world.
She is beautiful, has a good personality, and is considerate. Most importantly, she can make much more money than the boy from the Yan family, so she can be considered a match made in heaven.
Chen Guoxing got out of the car calmly. When he saw Mr. Yan when he entered the door, he hurried forward to shake hands with him.
"Commander, I have heard a lot about you."
"Finally you are here. Fu Yu has been waiting for you for a few days. You have to stay a few more days this time."
"I wanted to come here earlier, but I had a lot of things to do at the steel plant and couldn't get away, so I put it off until now."
"You've worked hard along the way. Come in and sit down."
"Dad, are you cold on the train?"
"It's OK. I stayed in the quilt the whole time. I just got off the car and was cold for a while. Ziyuan got me some clothes just in time."
"That's good."
"I made clothes for you, but I didn't have time to send them to you, so I brought them to Beijing. You can go to your room and change into them later."
Chen Guoxing looked at her with a big smile on his face. His daughter was indeed a sweet and considerate girl.
After dinner, seeing that Mr. and Mrs. Yan seemed to have something to talk to Chen Guoxing, the Zhao family was very tactful and took their two children back to the house next door early.
"Father-in-law, I'm sorry to have you come all the way here. We should have come to visit you in person."
"It doesn't matter. I'm here this time just to witness Fu Yu and Zi Yuan's wedding."
Yan Ziyuan was unable to take several long vacations in a row. Yan's father needed to apply for various things to travel. The last time he went to Qin City to find Qin Lixia, it took him a long time, so Chen Guoxing also expressed his understanding.
Just as he said, he came to Beijing in person just to watch his daughter get married so that she wouldn't be left without any family members by her side on her wedding day.
Her in-laws might not say anything, but outsiders seeing this situation would inevitably gossip. He had to come and support her no matter what, no matter how insignificant.
"The more we get along with this child, the more we like her. We are very grateful that you agree to marry your daughter into our Yan family."
"Our daughter is indeed a good girl, and Ziyuan is also a good boy. I like him very much, too."
"But I am the only relative of Fu Yu. To be honest, I am very worried about her marrying to such a faraway place, so I want to ask for a guarantee from your Yan family."
Chen Guoxing looked at the Yan family with firm eyes.
"Father-in-law, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."
"Fu Yu is still young. If there is anything I do wrong after marrying into the Yan family, I hope you will be more tolerant."
"Don't worry, Fu Yu has done a great job, we all really like it."
"Our Yan family is not the kind of family that would torture their daughters-in-law. We have married three daughters-in-law before. As for their affairs as young couples, they make their own decisions. We, as elders, will not interfere too much."
"As for Ziyuan, I hand my daughter over to you. I don't ask you to become rich, I just hope that she can live happily every day. I hope you can be responsible for the family and for her to the end."
"It's inevitable for couples to quarrel, but I hope that no matter what the problem is, you won't hurt her or hit her. If there's anything you can't understand or say about her, you can contact me in time. As her father, I will educate her."
"Don't worry, Dad. I will definitely love her as before and won't let her get hurt."
Chen Guoxing gave earnest instructions, and Yan Ziyuan also made a solemn promise. Song Fuyu, who was standing next to him, did not expect the conversation to be so formal, and it even sounded a little heavy to her.
She sat on the side, not saying a word, but her eyes were already wet.
Although her biological parents have passed away and she has traveled to such a strange place and a strange era, fortunately there is still someone, a new father who gives her support and protects her from the wind and rain. She is very content.
